Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. Dec. II

sThe Court of County Revenue will meet Monday morning in the ofice of Probate Judge Judge F. H. Pitts. In addition to routine matters, such as the auditing of accounts and the allowance of claims. the court will have several matters of interest to dispose of.
 The county poor house has not been used for some time. the court having adopted a new system of taking care of the poor and the poor house. which is in Planters vile beat. will be sold. Bids for its pur- chase will be opened Monday, and the building will probably be sold them.
 The most Interesting and important mat ter to be treated by the court. however, is the amount to be disbursed by the county for the support of its paupers. The pres- ent expenditure is about $6.100 a year. It Is understood that the privilege of re- ceiving money from the county by those who are unable to sustain themselves has been abused and that the court will cut down the appropriation for paupers to about $3,6Oo.
 Bids for the purchase of the Leigh building which adjoins the court house on the north will be received by the court and the structure will probably be dis posed of and removed immediately. Its absence will greatly improve the appear anos of the courthouse.

The Selma Guards.

The announcement by The Advertiser this morning that the Selma Guards had been mustered out was extensively dis cussed today and much regret was ex- pressed by the company and by its friends over the action taken by the authorities. Many of the Guards had expressed the opinion that the whole company should not be made to suffer for the misconduct of one or even of several of its mern- bers; and it had been hoped by some that those found guilty of the charges brought against them would be punished alone and that the company, as an or ganization. would net be so stringsntly disciplined
 There Is already rumor that the com pany will be reorganized but so far as can be learned no definite reorganization will be effected. The company is one of the oldest in the State and would be sad ly missed Some of its former officers are prominent in the State militia and would probably lend their aid. where possible, to an effort to place the company on a new footing

DEMOCRATS HAVE HOPE.
May Yet Return c Senator from
 Colorado.


 Denver Col. Dec. H.-The Court of An. peals today dismissed the writ of man. damus granted by District Judge Palmer requiring the State Board of Canvassers to certify the election of C.. A. Cooper Republican. Instead of J. T. whiteiaw, Democrat as representative from San Juan County. holding that the courts had no right to interfere thus with exec utive officers in the performance of their duties.
 This decision has an important bearing on the election of United States Sena- tors. for 1t leaves the State Board of Canvassers at liberty to seat two Demo- crats whose seats had been contested If election certificates are given to both Democrats, the House will consist of thirty-thfee Republicans and thirty-two Democrats and the Democrats are hope ful that with majority of only one the Republicans will be thwarted in their at- tempt to unseat the Democratic mem bers from Aprapahoe County and thus se- cure a majority on joint ballot.
