Concerning Corporation.

Today the citizenship of San
Angelo 10 called on to prom ounce
in favor of or against city incor-
poration.
The Press has the following
reasons for believing that the mu-
nicipality should be sustained:
% We want that Federal
Building and Uncle Sam isn't 60
ing to put one into all unincorpo-
rated town. .....
(2) We want better fire pro-
lection and we can't get it nor
maintain it save through the me-
dunn OF the city government.
CD We want the streets clean
ed regularly and we can have
this done only by city authorities.
CD We want Free Delivery
which won't ever come to a town
without n city government with
the ways and means to supply
and enforce the maintenance of
good sidewalks.
(5) We want good schools, and
through the tax voted last Friday,
the city can provide them.
(6) We want q system OF
drainage and sewerage and there
is no way to get it except through
city corporations.
These are u few of the things
San Angelo wants and ought to
have. No man supposes that all
these things can come Mt once nor
even within the first year of the
citv's existence. And it is even
doubtful if we get all of them III
two or even three years. But il
is worth working and even wait.
ing u long time for, to know that
San Angelo is destined, throus /
the efforts of her citizens, to be I
city.
Even the Almighty, all-pow
erful as He is, consumed 81
days in putting the mere finish
ing touches on this earth of ours
Can we suppose that a body o
men can so manage and arrang
the affairs of San Angelo 80 tina
she would make the TRANSITION
from villiagehood to cityness al
most instantly? No. The Pres
shall favor and support the etfor
to give time to accomplish som
of these needed improvements
And, knowing that they can com
only through city organization
if this, the coming, or any futur
administration, shall fail to com
up to the expectations of the pee
pie, it shall work for change
administration but never a
abolition of the city corporation
This state of unrest Is causir
friends to fall out. 1t is brinl
ing reproach and ridicule upo
San Angelo. Let's have dol
with it. A large majority at tt
polls today will settle
Let's have that majority.

A JUDICloUs INQUIRY.

A we'll known travelling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine, whether it was wanted for child or for an adult, and if for a child they almost invariably recommend Cham. berIain's Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is no danger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it. and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsurpassed.

The following from the Juneau Dis patch would indicate that the Wyoming push have added covetousness to their other virtues: The appointment of Walter s. Coutant as master in chan cery for the Alaska jurisdiction in the P. P. and N. Go. sale places it in honest and efficient hands. This again fur nishes ammunition for the Brown op- position in the claim that no patronage is given to any one outside of the Wy oming contingent in the matter of fed eral court affairs. Mir. Coutant now has divers occupations. As court stenog. ragher, referee in bankruptcy, newspa- per editor and master in chancery he will be forced to hire a private secre- tary to master his manifold duties. Members of the local bar complain bit terly at this way of handling patronage that is usually turned over to members of the bar. They feel as though their efforts to mrintain clean and pro- gressive association should allow some patronage to fall into their hands.

didn't believe it he could look out in

they had fallen in all sorts of help

stiffened out. The farmer examined
them and finding no trace of injury,
decided they had been poisoned.
Hendrix, with heavy heart, worked
for an hour digging a trench deep
enough to hold 27 fat turkeys. He
tossed few of them in. then reached
for the gobbler, when that old fellow
opened one eye, winked at him. then
went to sleep again. Investigation

apple, the existence of which was
proved, hey ond doubt, by occular
demon ostration.
The fruit is absolutely coreless, and
il was stated that its commercial value
was, ard always would he IS per cent

account Of there being no waste. The
flavor of the particular variety exhi
bition was excellent but Mr.. SCheu
said there was no reason to doubt
that as many varieties could be pro
pagatei as of other apples, and that
the seedless apple would be a IS much
sought after as the seedIess orange.
Mi Scheu afthr having orgaDized
a company in Baltimore to operate IN
Maryland, Virginia and West Viz

"I'll bet you 81 900 you can't do it.
This was the remark made ssme
months ago by Mrs. Charles Patton,
of The Highlands, near Erlanger, Jay,
to her daughter, Mae Syelyn Patton,
who declared she could marry Harold
Bancroft White without her mothers
knowledge The couple wSse bs-
trothed, and the wedding was not to
take place until next fall. The girl
however, accepted her mothers bet
and the contest was on. Mrs. Patton
kept an eagle eye on her daughter, and
the daughter and her lover were con-
stantly watching for chance to win
the wager. Last month their opportu-
nifty came. Mrs. Patton invited d
large party, including Mr.. White, to
visit the battlefield on Lookout noun
tain. In the confusion of leaving the
hotel the young couple disappeares for
a few minutes. When they came back
they were man and wife, the +stfi four
ishing her marriage certificate and
gleefully demanding the $1,000. Mrs
Patton is the wife of an official of the
Southern Pacific railway, and is rich
so she could afford to pay the $1,000

cost her much more than that, any
way.

UNCLE MOSES RUSE.
PLAYED BEAR IN ORDER TO
CATCH SLY OLD BRUIN.
Vermont Farmer Dressed Up in Fur
Proved a Fine Decoy - Fellow
Citizens Talk of Sending
Him to Legislature.

Uncle Nose Whites belled bear,
which ever since 1t returned to civil
yation after it's winter snooze in the
mountains has been Fostering inhabi-
tants roundabout Sherburne, Vt, has
been caught
The New York World says the bear
was belled by Uncle Nose last summer
to drive off other bears infesting the
locality, and the whole township was
proud of Uncle Nose as originator of
the scheme untii bruin got TO stealing
lambs and otherwise making himself
obnoxious The animal finally got to
be such a nuisance that every one was
mighty glad when he holed up for the
winter. Folks never expected to lay
eyes on him again but with the first
warm spring sun Lack he came and
resorto0 to his old tactics.
The Uncle Nose wrote letter to
Hiram Marsh, a Shrewsbury hunter,
and in due time received a big pack
age. Even village gossips failed to
learn its contents and when the farmer
took it home no one knew what it con-
tanned. Probably all the details of
what followed never would have been
believed had not Sim Whitaker hap
pened to need new augur to tap
sugar trees. The one he sent to Rut-
land for didn't suit and SO he went
over to Moses house one evening to
borrow one.
AS he neared the barn cross-lots he
heard a noise and saw a shaggy ami
NAL rubbing his back against an apple
tree. 1t was pretty dark, but he had
no difficulty in making out the form
Of big bear and he moved up an elm
with such agility that he lost his hat.
He had scarcely straddled a limb
when he heard a hollow tinkle and
glanced over his shoulder to see the
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-11-25

GOT OUT OF HIS BEAR SKIN
belled bear rubbing up against another
tree a dozen rods off
The belled bear uttered low whine
and the other responded with a gut
tural grunt and moved ever to Sims
tree This finished Sim and he couldn't
have uttered a sound if his life had de-
pended upon it, At the trunk the bear
stopped, looked up, clawed at the bark
and sat down. At this the belled bear
tossed his nose in the air, shifted sus-
piciously and rolled on the grass.
Finally he moved slowly toward the
barn, now and then looking over his
shoulder and grunting. Evidently the
belled bear must do the trailing if
there were to be any further conf
dences. Following the waddling bear
VITA ais eyes Sim was surprised to see
the dim outlines of gun leaning
against the corner of the barn If he
could only lay hands on that, he
thought he could make short work of
one of the animals at least, The idea
excited him. and he moved, The wad-
ding bear heard the noise. stopped
short and growled. 1t was a low growl,
bullying eyes he watched what followed.
The belled bear had advanced a few
steps when the other reached the cor
ner of the barn, knocked down the
rife with his paw, and picked it up in
his forearms The next instant he lay
down on the weapon lovingly, wiggled
the stump of his tail and stretched out
on the grass. There was something
unnatural and uncanny in the way he
pushed the muzzle of the gun around,
and when Sim heard the unmistakable
sound of a clicking lock, his heart
stood still.
Suddenly there was a flash, a loud
report followed by howl of rage and
pain from the belled bear and Sim
| toppled out of the tree and struck the
ground with a dull thud. The next
moment he was in the arms of the
shooting bruin and a voice, issuing
from within the shaggy head, was yell
ing to him to keep quiet.
"Consarn ye," shouted the voice.
keep quiet, will ye? l hain't killed
him yet"
Then the paws again picked up the
gun and sent a bullet through the
| belled bears head.
At this Sim went straight into hys-
terics and Uncle Nose had to get out
of his bear skin and show himself in
his proper person before he could bring
his neighbor back to his senses.
Sim giggled and cried by turns, but
finally struck a mental balance and
then Uncle Nose explained that he had
dressed up in the skin of an old she
bear. borrowed from his friend Marsh.
After all he was glad Sim had APP
peared, as he could prove the truth of
the story Nose is the most talked of
man in the village to-day and they are
thinking of sending him to the legIs-
lature in the fall.
