1t is generally accepted among poll
tioians that the substitution Of 81
Louis for Chicago as the site Of the
democratic national convention was
brought about by the conservative
element Of the party in the fear that
in Chicago the convention might be
stampeded for Hearst This shows
plainly that the Hearst boom is a
serious thing and ono that is not
lightly regarded IN the party.

City ceWeeii.

There were two "councils" in
session at the city hall Monday
night. The Irregular council" met
in the council room and the trump
council" in the water commission
er's Office. There were frequent
conferences between the two
bodies, which finally resulted in
an open rupture-they agreed to
disagree. At the Irregular coun-
Gil" there were present Mayor
Corbin and Aldermen Handy.
Sherman, hasten, Hansen and
Lamb, and Past Mayor Fred A
Sabin. At the trump council"
there were among those present
G. A. Kilgore, T. T. Woodruff,
r. w. Patterson. A. c. D.- PR,
F. Finney, A. d. Best. H. Saw
age, James McNeen, c. W. Bonn
gardner and others.
The conferences were anent the
transfer to the Otero Irrigation
District OF the water options re
Gently sold by the city to the
Catlin Canal Company. Previous
to the conference of the two bodies
there had been drawn up an
agreement and contract by which
the Otero Irrigation District re
leased the city from contract
made in anuary, 1903, and another
contract by which the Catlin Canal
Company released the city from a
contract made in April, 1904, the
terms OF which provided for the
sale to that company OF the water
options owned by the city for the
sum OF S4,4I2.
I The hitch came on the resolu-
tion to be passed by the council
providing for the transfer of the
water options to the Otero lrriga
ttion District. The resolution as
framed made no mention OF the
Catlin Company. 1t provided Tor
the transfer of the water options
to X. Phillips, in trust, for the
Otero Irrigation District
Mr.. SabIn very vigorously de
clared, "You gentlemen can't run
il over me that way. My clients,
the Catlin people, must be recog
nized as party to the trust, and
be included in the resolution, or
the stuH's off. Otherwise the
CatIin would not be factor in the
transfer at all. We are willing to
allow the Otero Irrigation District
to acquire the water options, but
in case that the district fails to
make the transfer of the water
rights to the headgate Of the Otero
canal we insist that the Catlin peo
pie have the right to undertake the
project. No other agreement will
be satisfactory to me or py eli
ents."
Thus ended the conference, and
it looks as though we are still
doomed to have water on the brain
for an indefinite period.

the petition of L. F. Theits ct al, /,

"rhs ot.'o Student Augment. ~

The Otero Student is a very
fascinating little paper, each issue
being looked forward to with great
expectancy several weeks before it
leaves the press. Its unique po-
ems, romances and tradegies,
together with its curt persona!
hits ami side splitting humor, has
obtained for it a wide and varied
circulation. Its sudden success
has been phenomenal, due to a
secret process known to no one
except the editor.
The editor is a brainy fellow,
and rules in his small sphere with
unrelenting sway. The Czar of
Russia has no more absolute au.
thonty than he. With his prun
ming knife he inspects all articles
contributed to the paper for publi-
cation, lacerating and dishguring
them in frightiul manner-strik
ing out and disposing OF all refer
ences made to himself, whether
complimentary or otherwise. He
is so modest, unassuming and TetiT.
ing" that OF himself he thinketh
not, OF others he thinketh and
speaketh much"
"The Student is practically the
work Of three or four, the others
criticise it," says the last issue,
Would that the public could see
all that is contributed, but which
is lost to public view. The local
page would be even more humor
Gus. rasping and satirical than it
is, as there would be an additional
subject about which many funny
things could be written. Such
questions as these relating TO the
trip to the Cedars, would then be
answered..
"who, when mixing 'hS corn
meal, took charge OF half oft for

"Who, when leaving La Junta.
concealed his luminous candle
under a bushel, until returning1"
"Who was afraid to 60 out in
the dark alone to assist in the
mountain lion scare7"
"Who said when the stock
OF his rifle was accidently shatter-
ed by Bushman's bullet3"
"Who had the meloncholia
when the Bald ridges of his native
country were left behind2"
The public urges that the next
issue be less partisan.

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 Especially
One Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County Ia
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart Of this place.
Mrs. Hart was In bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and | know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and
ksve not been down since. In four
weeks from the time l started taking
them | was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful | am
to be cured or how much l feel l owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodds Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of
the suffering the human family is heir
to, will disappear.

Some Elephants Fond Of Tobacco.

some EIepnantS roma OF opdcco.
Tim Buckley, who knows elephants
as a mother knows her own children,
said last night that the story Of the
elephant cherishing revenge for the
tailor who had given him piece Of
tobacco and years after soaking him
with muddy water is all fake.
Elephants will not take tobacco or
anything else, II they do not want it.,
even If they have had it in their
mouths; and what is more, l have
known elephants to be really fond of
tobacco and eat it with pleasure. |
have had elephants that would steal
plug of tobacco out Of a mans
pocket and swallow the whole thing.
They do not like the tobacco, but
they do like the licorice. Men and
boys frequently give them tobacco and
other things which they do not like
under the pretense Of feeding them
peanuts, but the elephant is wise, and
he will simply toss such things to
one side and go on the ordinary course
of his life, without thought of fill
ing his trunk with muddy water and
wetting the person who gave him the
stuff. louisville Courier-Journal.

Hisforx of the Rose.

The culture of the rose beginSsng
goes back beyond records. The flower
is mentioned in the earliest Coptic
manuscripts. midas traditions take
the rose to the times Of the gods on
earth. Egypt had roses, wild and
tame, before the Roman occupation
made it, in a way, Rome's commercial
rose garden; yet, curiously enough,
there is no reference to the flower in
painting, sculpture or hieroglyphics.
Japan, in our time, parallels Egypt.
Roses flourish there, but do not serve
as motif for artists. There is the
further likeness-neither Egypt nor
Japan has rose song or a love song

Captured a White Porcupine.

A purely white porcupine is an ex-
tremely rare animal, and yet Mr.. Hen.
ry Beal Of Parkman has one in his
possession, and the manner of its cap
ture is worth relating.
Mr.. Beal discovered a pair of these
animals in his pasture, one white and
the other black, and he succeeded in
driving them up timber ash sap
ling. Through the agency of his wife
he procured barrel, which he placed
under the sapling. and by bending the
tree over and shaking 1t, his wife at
the same time striking the toes of the
white animal with switch, succeed
ed in dropping him into the barrel.
Mr.. Beal has him Gagged at his place
in Parkman, and he is attracting
much attention. He is smart and live
ly and is apparently satisfied with his
quarters.-Guilford Citizen.
