DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET
]. r. Norton for Councilman Second
Ward; o. w. Lawrence, Fourth Ward.

The democratic municipal campaign
was opened last night in a most in
formal manner. There were caucuses
in the second and third wards from
which only councilmen are to be chosen
this year. The caucuses We're made to
take the place of primaries and con-
ventions 90 that now the ticket may
be said to be fully in the field. There
was nothing done at either caucus so
sudden and surprising as to induce
heart disease. 1t had been known for
days that John r. Norton would be the
candidate from the Second ward and
that O. w. Lawrence would be nomi-
mated by the democrats of the fourth.
There was hardly a dozen democrats
present at the Second ward caucus
held in ONeill hall. L. r. Kruger was
chairman and Clinton Campbell secra-
tary. No resolutions were actually
adopted but some undying principles
were talked about and considered to be
resolutions. They will be put in form
today and adopted nunc pro tune.
They did not deal with the burning
question of the presidential succession
or anything like that, but merely set
forth in general terms that If the can

elected the country would have no
cause to regret it.
The nomination of Mr.. Norton was
accomplished by accalamation and a
committee consisting of Selim Michael
son, F. c. Norris and James Mccarthy
was appointed to notify him of his Sc
| lection. Then the caucus was adjourn
ed. The committee of notification

trance. He was not going to give any
of his enemies a chance to lodge a
charge of non-residence against him.
The scene of the Fourth ward pri-
mary was as enthusiastic and wildly
demonstrative as the ceremony attend
ing the burial of Sir John Moore At
an early hour the faithful began gath
ering at the city hall and by o'clock
an immense crowd consisting of TWEEN
( ty-five democrats and a few spectators
had assembled. When that suspicious
hour arrived w. T. Smith called the
meeting to order and stated it's OBJ
| ject when he was made permanent
chairman and c. F. Leonard secretary.
Joe Bush placed in nomination for
councilman from the Fourth ward, o.
| W. Lawrence and r. B. Cannon per-
formed ike service FOR A. II. David
son. A vote was taken by paper bal
| lot, Joe Rush and g w. Stokoe being
appointed tellers. The result of the bal
lot was fifteen for Lawrence and ten
for Davidson. the selection of Mr.. Law
renee being later made unanimous. Mr..
Lawrence was called upon for a speech
but not having dreamed that his fell
low citizens contemplated taking such
an advantage of him he was, of course,
not present to defend himself. Mr..
Davidson was therefore called upon to
make speech for Mr.. Lawrence which
he did, predicting that a sweeping vic
tory for democracy would occur in the
Fourth ward on May Sd. An effort
was made to think of some further
business to attend to but it was unsuc-
cessful and the meeting adjourned sine

CUPED'S COURT
OF CLAIMS
By Epes ~. .Sargenf
Copyright. 1904, by T. G. Mcclure

Paul Preston settled himself COM
fortably in his seat in the chair car.
Then he carefully polished his eye
glasses and put them in his pocket.
He had no reading matter with him,
and he found that it rested his eyes
to remove the glasses. To his near
sighted vision the scenery then became
a blur Like most absentminded men,
he was given to introspection, and once
the glasses were off the other occu-
pants of the car ceased to distract
his attention.
Staring fixedly ahead he began to
speculate upon the probable outcome
of the business arrangement he had
just pat through. Finding that the
motion of the train was not pleasant
he swung his seat around until he
was riding with his back to the engine.
Lost in thought, he never noticed that
he was staring directly into the face
of remarkably pretty girl who had
the seat behind him.
His steady gaze disconnected her,
and she, too, swung her seat about,
but, with feminine curiosity, she could
not help stealing an occasional glance
around. Preston was not at all bad
looking chap, but the fixed regard Of
even fine looking fellow became most
annoying, and Ruth Vincent was glad
when the call for luncheon in the
dining car enabled her to escape the
searching gaze for awhile
Prestons stare was so steady and
undemonstrative that she could not
very well complain to the conductor,
but it was none the less unpleasant.
AS the ducky waiter brought the first
course of her luncheon she caught her
self hoping that the rude man would
not take his place opposite her at the
table and so spoil the meal for her.
But Preston had no intention of Wis
iting the dining car He was not even
aware Of the call, so deeply immersed
in thought was he. Not until the por-
ter, in his perpetual cleaning up of
the car touched him on the shoulder
did he rouse himself with start.
'Yo' book, sah?" he asked, holding
out a magazine. Preston fished out his
eyeglasses, looked at the cover, and
with puzzled expression admitted
that it was his It was very strange.
He did not remember providing him

Texas Ladies Save 1t From
Destruction

~ I is pity the people of this eoun-
try are not more infinitely ac-
Isl quainted with the history of the
noble state of Texas. Even Tex
ans themselves are SO busy developing
the matchless resources of their state
and getting rich that historic Alamo
was in danger of being destroyed till
the women of the state took up its
cause
In the Lone Star State is an organ
ization of patriotic women called the
Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
1t is their aim to preserve throughout
all the vast Texan domain objects of
historic and natural interest
Hardly any state in this Union is in
all respects so interesting as Texas.
With its old Spanish missions and forts
and its up to date oil wells and real
estate boomers it is more of a link be-
tween today and four centuries ago
than almost any other state. The most
famous of old Texan landmarks is the
Alamo mission at San Antonio The
Daughters of the Republic of Texas
have recently bought the old Alamo
buildings for $4,000, and now are
working as only women can work to
raise money to pay the sum. The So
ciety is pledged to pay $4,000 on each
Feb. 10 till the debt is wiped out We
may hope rich Americans all over the
Union will Remember the Alamo
financially and aid the patriotic ladies
In their object.
The Alamo mission, called the Mis-
sion San Antonio de Vallejo" was
founded by Spanish priests from Mex
leo back in the 1600's. Their design
was at once to convert Indians to
Christianity and possess the land for
Spain against all other nations. For
this reason the Alamo buildings We're
quite as much fort as church. They
covered some three acres. We're in the
form of a rectangle and had around
them a wall in some parts four feet
thick The only entrance was through
the granary, which was regular ar
senal, and the whole site was protected
by earthworks, cannon and a moat
The church militant in those days was
more important than the gospel of the
Prince of Peace
During the fight of Texas to be free
from Mexico in 1856 body of Tex
ans took refuge in the Alamo and re-
fused to surrender to force of
dozen times their number. They placed

Santa Ana did, March 5, 1896 and mas

sacre Texans have not forgotten to this
day, and from it arose the war cry,
Remember the Alamo''-a cry heard
on all sides at the battle of San ia
cinto, April p, 1886, where the Texans,
under General Sam Houston, finally
defeated the Mexicans.
Following the achieving of independ-
ence came the republic of Texas with
it's lone star flag. The republic pres
emily honored the United States by
Offering to become a member of its
sisterhood and the offer was gratefully
accepted The man who designed the
beautiful lone star flag was General de
Zavala, a fighter for Texan independ-
ence and the young republics first vice
president Today his granddaughter,
Adina de Zavala, is president of the

in the upper stories that the heroic
Texans made their last stand. These
upper floors will be converted into art
galleries. The lower part will contain

''How do the Indians make a fire

loved to play Indian" Most of us
have heard the answer to this: Tho
Indians used a flint and steel, as our

dred years ago, and before they had
flint and steel they used rubbing

them together, but | find that most
persons look upon this as a sort of
fairy tale, or if they believe it to be
true they think it so difficult as to be
worth no second thought. All wood

to lean back in the pew, SO that he
