We note that at the last meeting


We note that at the last meeting
of the Council, the ordinance i'm
posing q license on vegetable ven-
doris has been repealed, they will
now have the right to sell vegeta-
bles in the streets at all times,
without paying any license, and
are not compelled to 60 to the
market and remain there until af-
ter nine o'clock. The repeal OF
this ordinance will undoubtedly
increase the amount of vegetables
in town, as many. of the country
people have surplus of vegetables
which they can always dispose of
at any time in town, but who could
not afford to come in the morning
and 90 to the market or afford to
pay ten cents to sell q few vegeta-
bles.

We note a conflict of authority
in the coming town election, the
Mayor has issued his proclamation
calling the town election to take
at the Town Hall; the Board of
Supervisors issued their proclama-
ton ordering the election to take
place at the Court House. Who
is right, we do not know, but one
thing certain is that it makes but
very little difference whether the
election is held at the Town Hall
or the Court House; although we
are of opinion that the Town Hall
is the proper place to hold the
election. The politicians have
disposition to meddle in the af-
fairs of the town, which should not
be. and the business people of the
town should not permit it. If our
business people would only take a
hand in this towns affairs it would
not require any great effort to
KNOCK out the politicians of both
factions. One thing is certain,
however in town election, and that
is the election should be under the
control of the town authorities,
and the Mayor should see that bis
officers have charge of the polling
places and not allow deputy sheriffs
to meddls in our town affairs as it
is rumored.

eruesome Watch Charms.

Wilkesbarre Pa, is place from which lately so many queer tales have come am forced to suspect that some young man of great newspaper ability is rusti- eating there. But this latest has all the horrible earmarks of truth, "Gruesome watch charms are being made by the peo- pie of Mountain Top, near here, from the bones of a skeleton discovered in the woods near that town seven weeks ago. The man had evidently committed sui- eide, as a revolver with one chamber empty lay beside him. The clothes and all the flesh had disappeared, and iden- tification was impossible. The skeleton has not been removed by the authorities and scores of men and boys have taken the bones and made watch charms of them" Why do I cite this? Merely in order to add that we have here the same kind of people. One would suppose that by reading the newspapers the public had supped full enough on horrors during But mol Before the horror was a month old, it was kinetoscoped and made a show for that many-headed monster, the Pub lie. Such things ought to be prohibited by law. Even worse. I saw a picture of a burning steamer sinking by the stern and people jumping from the flames. stuck up as an advertisement in a shop window. A horrible chtomo 1t was, of fensive to taste as well as to decency. I demonstrated with the shopman and induced him to remove 1t.

SITUATION NOW
 ONE OF WAITING Men of Affairs Want to Know
 Parker'S Views GOOD CHANCE FOR VICTORY New York Jurlst May Prove Formld- able Candidate-Some Remarks on cotfee-Wearing Grue-
 some Charms.
GOOD CHANCE FOR VICTORY
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York, July 3O.--Now that each of the great political parties has adopted it's platform and nominated its standard bearer, the quiet, thoughtful men of af- fairs are giving time and consideration to the enunciated and industrial affairs. Men with whom l converse, the men who are best informed on the product of farm, mine and factory, as to the movement of crops and the business of railroads, regard with satisfaction the return of the democratic party to the path of sane and sound doctrines. The stand taken by Parker on the gold question has created confidence in Parker. They would have had more confidence in the party if it had in the St. Louis convention showed it. self strong and reliable in it's new stand.
 It is plain that these men have little faith in President Roosevelt and do not approve of his administration or in the conduct of the republican party. st. they realize that in so,~far as the gold question is concerned there Is nothing to fear from it. They are not convinced on the other hand that the democratic party shares the views of the party nominee on the questions. As to what his views may be the electors have still to learn. The actual condition is, therefore one of waiting Until Judge Parker has defined his views and some reliable estimate has been made of the partys ratification of them, his candidacy will hang in the bal ance. If those views are acceptable to the business men and fl the party is willing to elect congressman to represent those views, Parker will become a for midable foe, with the chances of cleo ton in his favor. MT. Bliss in his collec- ting tour discovered aid campaign sub scribers lukewarm and inclined to wait. It is due to the fact just stated.
 The heavy campaign subscribers are not men who indulge in sentiment. They do not as it is often charged, pay in large checks with the idea in view of receiving in exchange substantial benefits. They realize that by the order of events a new era presents itself every four years. This may be beneficial or baleful to the com mercial and industrial conditions of the country. They endeavor to determine which candidate had best be intrusted with the administration and which party most likely to disturb business conditions the least. This decided. they help de- fray the incidental expenses From what l learn, 1t would seem at the present mo- ment that neither party will have a super abundance of dollars in their respective treasurers If Parker should write ring ing message, one that will capture his party as well as the business community, he will receive the larger amount of the subscription.

PUT ON BRAKES.
Candidate Davis Made Funny Action
 in the Senate.

From the Tuscon (Ariz) Citizen.
 Henry G. Davis, the democratic can didate for vice president, began active working life on the railro..i of which he is now the president and chief stockhold- CT, the West Virginia Central. He work ed as a brakeman for five years and has never forgotten the tricks of the trade.
 When he was a senator of the United States an incident occurred revealing the ruling passion strong in life" It was during protracted night session. Thur man, Conkling, Lamar and Blaine were engaged in a mighty debate. Only those engaged in the immediate discussion were awake; the others, Jagged out by the protracted session, were asleep.
 Henry G. Davis was asleep. His elbows rested on his little square desk, and his face in his hands. Thurman was speak ing and it was characteristic of the great Ohioan that he frequently applied his celebrated bandanna to his nose and blew strong and loud blasts, On this particu- lar occasion Thurman blew two loud blasts on his nose and Davis, quietly sleeping a couple of desks away, jump ed to his feet caught the top of his desk and began to twist 1t with great energy.

Test for Coffee.

Genuine roasted coffee says Good Housekeeping, will not color cold water. nor will the bean lose its smooth sur face or hard, tough consistency when soaked in water. Chickory and other limitations become soft and spongy when soaked, and render the water muddy The test for coffee, then. is soaking in cold water. Of course the test must be made before grinding This moves me to remark that strangers in New York fre- quently complain to me about the coffee they get, even in the high-priced places of refreshment. The complaint is just. There are comparatively few restaurants or hotels here where one is always sure of getting a perfect cup of that brown anidyne divine of Araby. the Blest.

TAKEN I'LL on DESERT.
George Saxton Being Brought In By
Friends.

George SaXton, n well known young
civil engineer, who left here about ten
days ago with party of prospectors to
do some surveying in the southern conn
try, was taken down with pneumonia
and it is feared that he will succumb be-
fore he can be brought here to receive
medical attention.
Immediately he was taken i'll the party
started back wi h him, having only slow
moving burros with which to make the
long and weary journey to this place.
A messenger who was sent ahead to
procure a team with which to bring in
the sick man arrived here day before
yesterday and started back at once ac-
companied by Carl Stoddard, a friend
and former partner of the sick man.
There have been rumors of young Sax
tons death in circulation here but their
reliability was doubted and proved un-
true when a man named Sweeney arrived
from the south today and reported that
he passed Stoddard and the others on
the way in and that Saxton was then
alive, though very i'll. They should ar
.iye here sc.le lime tonight or tomorrow
morning and it is to be hoped that young
Saxton's illness has not passed the point
where there is chance for his recovery
with the attention that can be given him
here.
Mr.. Saxtou is Carson raised young
man and State University graduate.
and is held in highest esteem by large
circle of friends in western Nevada. His
parents live in Carson, and he has a
number of brothers, one of whom is a
captain in the regular army and another
a mine manager in South Africa. Young
Saxton was one of the engineers en-
lloyed on the construction of the TOno
pah railroad last summer and is well
known in Tonopah.
