Dokota in 1884, and came
to New Mexico in 1894 and
has ever since been eggag-
in the mercantile business
in White Oaks, under the
firm name Of S. M. Wiener
& Son. S. c. Wiener was
nominated for commission
er for the second district
by the democratic conven-
ton in 1000, was elected,
and re-nominated by the
same party in 1902, and
elected by an increased

however, regarded Mr..
Wiener as the right man
in the right place, and the
returns rebuked his de-
tractors and buried them
and their mouthings under
an avalanche of votes,
thus giving Lincoln county
four years more of a capa-
BILE and honorable mans

Leslie Ellis who assumes the duties and
the office of probate clerk Of Lincoln coun-
ty. Mr.. Ellis came with his fathers fam
ily from Missouri to New Mexico in an
early dav and has resided at the town OF
Lincoln Lincoln county, for IS years.
The office of clerk is responsible one and
imposes duties, owing to to a double Ian
guage being used, that is rather difficult
However, Mr.. Ellis brings to his office the
requirements that are essential to the
efficient aud proper conduct of the office.
Being one of the best practical interpreters
in Lincoln county, reads and writes both
languages readily and correctly In aword,
he thoroughly fits the place. Mr. Ellis
was nominated for clerk in 1900 by the
democratic party, but was defeated by
small majority, and was re-nominated by
the same party in 1902 and received the
largest vote of any candidate on either
ticket at the last general election.
For assessor the republicans of Lincoln
county nominated Robt A, Hurt, OF Capt.
tan, whose portrait follows this notice.
Mr.. Hurt is a native of Texas, and came to
New Mexico five years ago having been
engaged in the drug business the past two
years at Captain. Mr.. Hurt is regarded
as capable man. we'll fitted to perform
the laborious duties that devolve upon the
assessor He has been justice of the peace
of the Captain precinct for the past two
years, and his party, feeling that he was
entitled to promotion, in their county con-
vention gave him the nomination for asses
sor, and his election followed by good
majority.

The above cut repr esents our new sher-
iH, who takes office at Lincoln today.
Tobn w. Owen is a man in the prime of
life and an ideal man for the office to
which he has been elected. Thoroughly
acquainted with almost every foot of the
county; knows all its people; frank, gener-
Gus and brave, his friends predict for him
a successful administration of the executive
affairs of Lincoln county. Mr.. Owen is
native of Missouri but in early manhood
moved to Texas, lived there number ct
wears, when he came to New Mexico, and
has been a citizen of Lincoln for almost
twenty years. baving been engaged good
part of the time in the cattle, goat and
horse business. Mr.. Owen was twice
elected constable Of White Oaks precinct,
and also served as deputy sheriff during
two years of that time. Mr., Owen was
living on his ranch, at the Gallo, last sum
mer when the democratic party nominated
him for sheriff, and he was elected, in a
county that is normally republican, by a
majority of l. after one of the hottest fights
in the history of Lincoln county. That
Mr. Owen will make capable sheriff ard
impartially administer the duties of the
office we earnestly believe.

Weissenfels- on-the-S aale, Prussia,
Sept. 1.-THE army maneuvers were
this year more than ever a vast spec

for Emperor Williams massed cavalry
attacks and storming batteries. The
emperor turned the working out of the
days strategical problem prepared by
the general staff into glorified sham
battle that delighted many thousands
of spectators assembled on the elevated
ground.
The maneuverS were preceded by
four parades four provincial banquets
and the state entry of the emperor
and empress into Halle for the purpose
of attending the ceremony of conse-
Grating church. All these functions
were attended by the various sovereigns
of the minor German states, like the
king of Saxony, the grand duke of Old
enburg and SaXe-Weimar and the duke
of SaXe-Coburg and Gotha, and foreign
princes. such as the duke of Aosta of
Italy, and the duke of Teck, from Eng
land. These distinguished persona es
accompanied the emperor everywhere
and formed "A brilliant picture When

he was discovered the negro made
quick escape from the premises. The
police were called. but before they ar

They have been frightened away on
every occasion
