Special Meeting.

The county commissioners held a
special meeting yesterday, called by
the chairman to reconsider the action
of the board at its last meeting in
leasing the county convicts; also to
reconsider the salary of the recently
appointed game warden.
On motion the bid of w. R. Mas
sey was reconsidered and other bids
invited.
S. A. Rawls of Jacksonville made
the bid that was accepted He offer
ed $1,000 per month each for cOnyicts
sentenced to the county Jail. His
proposition is for the term of four
years, payable quarterly and to COM
mence Dec. LIST, 1905. Rawls is to
give bond for $1,000 and enter into a
contract. The lessees are to pay
all expenses in connection with re-
mnval of prisoners.
The board also reconsidered the
$50 per month salary offered the
game warden at last meeting, there
being doubt as to the board having
the right to pay this amount. There
is but $50 in the game warden fund,
and the board doubted its right to
take money from another fund.

Fatal Accident.

Henry Bowman a faithful colored
emplOye of n. J. Tilghnlan & Sons
shingle mill was caught in the belt
ing soon after the mill had gotten
under way Wednesday morning, re-
ceiving injuries from which he will
hardly recover.
One of the belts had slipped off
the wheel and instead of giving no.
tice and having the machinery
stopped, Bowman attempted to put
the belt on the pully while the ma
chinery was in rapid motion.
When picked up one leg was bro
ken and torn and one arm had been
pulled apart at the elbow tearing
away the flesh nearly to his shoulder.
DR.. Steen was summoned and Bow
man was taken to his home. We'd
nesday evening he was too weak to
undergo an oTeration, and DR.. Steen
thought it highly improbable that he
would recover from the shock of his
awful accident.
John Q. Tilghman was very sad
man on Wednesday. He said the
firm had been in the milling bust
ness for forty years and that this was
their first accident. The men, he
stated, had been repeatedly caution
ed never to attempt such work as did
Bowman without first having the
machinery stopped. He said Bow
man had worked at the mill severn
years and was steady and faithful
employe, and the shock of his awful
aud probably fatal accident, while
due to his own carelessness, WAS
nevertheless a sad affair and one
which, no matter what the effort TO
obYiate, sometimes would occur.
Bowman died on Wednesday even
ing about O'Clock.

OUR pEREGRINATING PRESIDENT

1t is said that "on the completion Of his present trip
President Roosevelt will have visited during his ad
minstration president every state in the Union"
Several of the in his present itinerary he visited
prior to this journey during his of the
White House. No other president except Mckinley ap-
preached the Roosevelt record traveller while in the
presidential Office Mckinley fell far short of visit
ing all the states.
In connection with this travelling habit of President
Roosevelt an interesting discussion has started relative
the ntimation that he will attend the confer
ence at The Hague next year. No president of the
United States it seems, has set foot outside the
national boundary during his incumbency. 1t will be
remembered that when President Mckinley visited the
Pacific coast he went to the center of the bridge span
ming the Rio Grande FL Paso which marks the divd-
ing line between the United States and Mexico. That
was in conformity with tradition that the president
should not touch foreign soil.
President Roosevelt has but little regard for prece-
dents that have nothing substantial than tradi-
ton to commend +hem. His intelligent countrymen will
agree with him that the precedent in question is hardly
worth preserving there will be anxiety for his per-
sonal safety he finally determines to journey to Eu-
rope
The tour Of the south which the president now
is making will tend strengthen still further his popu
lary with the southern people who always admire such
personal qualities those which characterize Theo
dore Roosevelt.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Heermans' Recital

The small audience, which assembled
last evening at the Simpson auditor
ium to hear Hugo Herman, the emf
nent violin virtuoso, and his accom-
plished son, Emil Herman, enjoyed q
musical treat worthy OF a far larger
house. Both the Heermans were heart
lily applauded over and over again for
their exceptionally fine work.
Hugo Herman Is a most finished
and accomplished master of the violin
while his son shows evidence of the
native ability that has made the father
famous.
Vile their Interpretation is intellect
ual rather than emotional and their
style is finished rather than brilliant,
they are mastery in their handling of
the violin and were deserving of a far
larger audience than they had last
night.
The program rendered last evening
was as follows 1. Concerto (Beetho-
ven) Hugo Herman. 2. Concerto
(Tschaikowsky) Emil Herman. 3 (a)
Homage a Moligne (ErnsD, (b) Ell
Zapatea do (Sarasate) Hugo Herman.
8. Adagio for two violins (Bach),
Hugo and Emil Herman. 5. Scenes

man.
Another concert will be given Sat-
urday afternon at 2 o'clock.

a WE'LL GOVERNED CIrY

"If wish to see genuinely rapid forward move
ment must turn to city like Los Angeles where a
of the Schmitz kind would not be tolerated for a
moment"
That is the Judgment of the San Francisco Chronicle
It is sound judgment and the underlying facts are just
important to Los Angeles they to San Fran
CISCO
The incessant complaints that hear at home
from chronic GROWERS calculated to spread the be-
lief among people who give but little thought to the
subject that Angeles is wretchedy governed CITY,
The quality of its government however, depends upon
the standard by which it is gagged. Measured by the
rul, of so-caed ideal government perhaps it might be
adjudged "wretched" But there was and proba-
bly, will be such thing as perfect municipal gov
ernment. citys government is good bad or 1nd1ner-
ent relatively compared with official conditions seen
in other cities.
Measured by that standard Los Angeles compares
favorably with the best governed large cities in the
United States In fact what other large American city
will the well Los Angeles in an examna
tion of the evidence of good government?
Consider the more noticeable phases whereby the
quality of citys government usually is judged All
cities for instance lave to struggle with the liquor
question the social evil gambling and official propensity
for grating to greater or less extent On these lines
compare Los Angeles with large city in the United
States and the will be favorable to the metropolis
of Southern California
The Chronicle says truly that in Los Angeles "A
of the Schmitz kind would not be tolerated lor
moment" Mayor Schmitz is VIGOROUSLY the friend ana
protector of every dsreputabe element in the popua
ton of San Francisco Every citizen of Los Angeles
believes the other hand that Mayor McAeer is giv
ing the best is in him" for the moral and material
interests of this city His Judgment often is faulty and
for manifest bunders The Herald is obliged at times
to rap him sharply the knuckes; but The Herald
never questioned doubted his honesty of purpose
nor his zeal behalf of what he believes be the veal
of the community.
And the same conclusion is applicable to every fea
ture of municipal government Perfection is una
tanable before remarked but there is not depart
ment of Los Angeles public affairs that will not stand
the test of comparison with like departments in any
other city.
Turning in disgust from it's view of relative condi
tions in San Francisco Los Angeles the Chronicle
declares that the people of San Francisco had better
look facts squarey in the face and seek their
remedy"

THE MORNING PAPER
BEST FOR ADVERTISERS

Medill Mccormick, general
manager of the Chicago Tribune,
in a speech before the Adver-
tisers' club Of New York, said:
81 have fixed higher rate for
the morning than the evening
newspapers for three reasons:
First, the higher cost of pro-
duction on the morning paper.
Second, THE HIGHER QUAIL
ITY OF IT'S CIRCULATION.
Third, the. ability of the char
acter advertisers to pay higher
rate than the man who sells
goods by price alone. might
add that the condition which per-
mits a higher rate per line per
thousand for magazine than for
newspaper advertising confirms
my position. THE MORNING
PAPER HAS A MORE PER
MANENT PLACE IN THE FAM
