wArsoNs PART IN CAMPAIGN

It has long been evident that Watson
was playing into the hands OF the he
rbl;can marty in his candidacy for
the presidency, and that fact becomes
more glar,ng daily. The New Orleans
States SAYS that few days, ago "heh
Watson's nomination certificate had
been fled IN New York, the Democratic
State Committee investigated me
names uponit and ascertained that they
ware the names of Republican office
holders of Albany county whose
nosition had been obtained for them
by William Barnes, Jr F, member OF
the Republican executive committee
IT is said that Governor Odell is max
ing an effort to have the signature
attached to the Albany county certItl-
cate withdrawn, but The Democratic
State Committee will oppose any
action of that kind. In other words,
the Democratic managers are deter
mined that the names on the certificate
shall stand as evidence that the
candidacy of Tom Watson is supported
by the National Republican party, and
that il is nothing more than move
ment to divert votes from the Dem@
ocratic ticket. The idea of the Watson
candidacy was conceived by Republican
politicians in New York who were sue
cessful IN securing his nomination by
the PopulIst convention at Indiana
polls and who have provided the money
: to enable Watson to conduct his can
vass. These are facts that are now
plsin to the public mind. and they are
sufficient to fully convince the sincere
Populist element in the west and else
where that they have been sold out by
Tom Watson, whose denunciation Of
Judge Alton B. Parker and praise Of
Roosevelt, shows quite clearly that
he is serving the Republican National
Committee for pay with the under
standing that he is not to work for the
re-establIshment of the Popullst party
in the country, but to divert as many
votes as possible from Parker to Roose
welt.

\ yegetable Win a Pedigree

Of all the plants used for food there
3 none which has been so long known
or has had, so to say, so distinguished
a lineage as asparagus. Its record, in
fact, reaches back to almost the COM
mencement Of authentic history, as it
is mentioned by the comic poet Cra-
tinus, who died about 425 B. c., and
was a contemporary of though slight
ly older than Aristophanes.
Among the Romans also the tasty
vegetable was held in high esteem.
Cato the elder-nOt the gentleman who
was of opinion that Plato reasoned
well, but his great-grandfather, who
insisted upon the destruction of Car
thage and who was born 243 B. c.
wrote a work, which is still extant,
Ode Re Rustica,' and in it he treats at
length of the virtues and proper cult
walton of asparagus. Pliny also in
his$'NaturaI History about so A. d.
has much to say on the subject. "Of
all the productions of your garden" he
feelingly observes, your chief care
will be your asparagus" and he de-
votes several chapters and parts of
chapters to its many benefcent quail
ties and the best modes Of raising it

Indian Mothers and Dolls.

When an Indian girl dies her mother
often substitutes a doll for her lost lit
tie one. She fills the empty cradle with
feathers, arranged in the form of the
child, and carries this around with her
wherever she goes, talking to it and
caressing it as she would her loving
child
If she does not do this she ties in a
tight bundle the toys, clothes and arm
lets which belonged to her little one
and, fastening this to the cradle board,
carries it as she had formerly done her
child. The Ojibways call these 'unIucky
dOlls,'' because they represent the dead.
The reason the Indian mother carries
her "dell' in this pathetic way is be-
cause she thinks that the little dead
child is too small to find it's way to
paradise. By substituting the doll it
will help along until the dead baby has
grown large enough to make its way
to the spirit land alone. At least this
is what the sad Indian mother believes.

Animal Arithmetic,

A certain Mr.. Tiniotieff was the hap
by pOssessor of a dog that was able to
calculate with precision. One day,
having been fed a large platter of
chicken bones, he found twenty six
left over when his appetite was salts
fed. These he proceeded to bury care
fully in different places, as all dogs do.
The day following he dug up and ate
twenty-five, went to sleep, suddenly
woke up, apparently with something
on his mind, hesitated a moment, dug
up his twentysixth bone, ate it and
went to sleep, this time soundly.
Birds count well. They usually know
the number of eggs they are Matching.
Here is something odd: A half tanned
nightingale was always given three
beetles as sort of dessert. If he re-
ceived but two he waited impatiently
for the third. If three were given to
him he ate them up and few away
without waiting for more.-Revue

City Council.

A called meeting of the City Council
was held last night for the purpose Of
receiving a report from the joint COM
mittee on finance and light in reference
to the electric franchise The commit
tee reported that the bids received so
far we're not satisfactory. and recon-
mended that the franchise be readver-
tised. The report was adopted and 4
resolution to that effect was passed.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Seven members were present in the
Board of Aldermen. When the papers
referred to above came in from the Com
mon Council the action of the lower
board was concurred in by unanimous
votes, after which the board adjourned.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Twelve members were present when
the board was called to order and the
call of the president for the meeting to
receive the report of the joint committee
on finance and light on the proposition
to dispose of the electric light franchise
was read. Capt Bryan from the oint
committee presented the report and said
the committee had held several meetings
and had decided that all the bids re-
ceived for the franchise were unsatisfac-
tory and suggested that Council again
advertise the franchise for sale. He
said that his committee had received as
surancss that a bid very mnch more to
the interest of the city would be received
if the franchise was again advertised for
sale, and urged that this action be ia ken.
Mr.. Johnson offered a resOlu hon
adopting the report of the comm ttee
and providing further that bids be asked
for under the original ordinance.
Mr.. Spinks opposed the resolution,
saying that after careful Investigation
of the subject he was convinced that the
cost of electricity would be reduced so
per cent. in the next few years, and
that the demand was not so urgent that
Council could not wait. He also said
that the value of the city's gas plant
might be deprecated by the sale of the
electric franchise and he wanted the city
10 received all benefits from both its
gas and electric plants. Capt. Bryan said
the matter.uf selling the franchise was
not now before Council; the only
question was whether further bids should
