MANY POSSIBLE CANDIDATES
Should Present indications Hold Good

Election of a Mayor-Jones Will

From present indications many we'll

A few have already been stung and
infected with virus, which develops
rapidly into the desire to be mayor of
the city. Should any considerable
portion of the number of prospective
candidates now talked of enter the
race there will be anywhere from
half dozen to twice that many candi-
dates.
Mayor J.. b. Jones will not stand for
re- election, while 1t has been said by
some that he would again be a nom

have known for the past two years.
the present term Of his office expires
he will retire to private life. There
are plenty, however, who have cray-
ings to take his place.
Just how many Of these will develop
into full iedged candidates cannot yet
be told, as none Is willing to commit
himself so far before election day. Sew
eral, however, have their eyes fixed on
the political weather van. noting which
way the straws are blowing, and
should they deem the time ripe will
make the run. AT least three Of the
councilmen have been mentioned as
possibilities. One of these candidates.
is in doubt with one or two others like
ly to be announced. A prominent dem
ocratic attorney has been approached
by party Of friends, urging him to
become an active participant in the
race. AS yet he Is undecided. An
other of the younger attorneys Of the
city is in the list, and is almost GER
tain to be candidate.
From good source 1t is learned
that the prohibitionists, and so-called
home protectionists" will again join
forces behind their candidate Of pre-
vious city election. From other walks
OF life prospective mayors are being
talked of, but the fight will not develop
openly until after the general election
is out of the way.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Workmen on Railway Tunnel Said to
Be Careless With Dynamite Charges.

Several small boys were apprehend-
ed by the Capitol police yesterday after
noon in the West Capitol Park, as they
were about to enter the building, having
in their possession what appeared to be
an internal machine The supposed bomb
was a piece of gas or water pipe with
section of copper electric wire protruding
fl ON one end. The boys said they found II
where the tunnel is being made to pass
under the East Capitol Park to allow the
Penn sylvania and other railroad trains to
reach the union depot now under construc-
ton in the northeast
The lads declared they were ignorant of
the nature of the article in their possess
sion. 1t was taken away from them by the
police and put in a safe place.
The officer who apprehended the boy said
the Italian workmen who are employed on
the tunnel are entirely too careless with
the dynamite bombs they intend using for
blasting purposes. They lay the cartridges
carelessly about on the roadways and fields,
he added, and children pick them up, not
being aware of their terribly dangerous
nature. The other day, he said. several
boys, one of them the son of a marine Of
ficer. We're seen juggling one of the charges.
which was capped and ready for action.

PLEA FOR REFORM.
Man From the Nutmeg State in Search
of a CONGRESSMAN.

An old man wearing an antique beaver
Rat of the great grandfather type and
seedy suit of clothes, and carrying an
old-fashioned gripsack, has been perambu-
lating the Capitol for several days
making a vain search for congressman.
He says his name is Caleb Ethredge and
his home is in Currituck, N. c. When
told that Congress is not in session and will
not convene until December, the old man
said:
Jimmy criminy; thought Congress was
allus In session We pay them fellers fer
sarvin in Congress an We don't propose
that they shall have half the year on,
either. No wonder times is hard an the
bizness of the kentry is goin' to the dogs.
I'll tell the folks in Currituck about this
when l gifts back"
Ethredge had his ancient gripsack filed
with papers OF his own writing, ingram
NAUTICAL and misspeled, proposing many
reforms. He said he had worked hard for
two years 'thinkin up an a-writin " the
documents and he was determined to find
some member or senator who would prom
ise to introduce them at the next session or
Congress and have them put into effect.
One of the longest of the papers is a IL
rade against former President Cleveland
and other sportsmen who, he says visit
Currituck sound and shoot thousands OF
wild ducks and geese Just for fun. There
hundreds of natives. he declares, who
formerly made living for themselves and
families by shooting wild fowl for the mar
ket who now considered poachers ana
treated as such by the fancy chaps from
the north He wants Congress to pass an
iron-clad law making ducking for fun
penitentiary offense
Ethredge, in another paper, demands that
Congress furnish free to all farmers who
are worth less than 81 900 all the 'tobacy.
cotton (cotton), corn, rice and other seed
they may require" and stop sending out
fool enveleps with a teaspoon of flower
or squash seeds"
He also wants Uncle Sam to make money
loans to small farmers for ten years,
without interest; to furnish free mails;
provide free flour and corn meal mills. and
do variety of other improbable and i'm
possible things. In return he promises to
cast his vote and those of his two sons
for President Roosevelt. although he has
been a "dimmycrat fer nigh onto sixty
seven wears"
