HOW ELECTION RETURNS
WERE RECEIVED HERE

A large crowd gathered at Gar
rett's opera house Tuesday evening,
on invitation of the county demo-
cratic central committee, to hear
the election returns They came
in slowly. The band was there,
entertaining the audience while
waiting to learn whether or not the
country was safe Bulletins from

CITIZENS WILL
TAKE SOME COAL
Meeting lRStruCts MayOT
MdhOnPy to cut out a
Gar When Needed
and pay for it.

Last evening twenty-eight of the
leading citizens of Mountain Home
met in the council chambers to dis
cuss the coal famine situation.
Mayor Mahoncy stated that the rail-
loads of coal since the officers
agreed to deliver three a week.
These two car loads lasted only
twcnty-four hours, and that since
then many people had been ClaInor-
ing for fuel, declaring they hadn't t
a pound. He had written and tel
egraphed the company asking for
more, insisting that its promise
be fulfilled, but had received no
reply
Then, on motion of Attorney
W. c. Howic, seconded by W. A.
REYNOLDS, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, Mayor Mahoney was
instructed to have a car of coal cut
out from the first train passing,
turn it over to dealers, have them
collect for same and pay the com
pany.
This forenoon Mr.. Mahoney
wired officisls of the company the
import of last evenings meeting
He says that unless the rai1roas
leaves q car here today, he viii
cut one out from the first trai1
that arrives. Asked what he will
do in case the company, through
its employees, offers forcib1e resist
ance, he said: 'I'1l get the car.

The village authorities and citizen
who attended the conference wit
the railroad attorney and Super1r
tcndent when the agreement we
reached, gave it out cold and en-
phatic that they would. stand for T
more of that kind of business
long as the company made good c
its end of the bargain. Citizens
Mountain Home much prefer to pa
for their coal, and the purpose
the meeting last evening was

Avery G. Moore, Dynamiter.

Avery c. Moore, editor OF the
Weiser World, who has been speak
ing throughout the state during the
late lamented campaign in the in
terest of the democratic cause,
under the auspices of the repub-
lican state central committee. did
his regulation stunt here Monday
night. A few homeless wander
ers were enticed into Hungerford'
opera house with the alluring
music of the band, the doors were
locked and they were forced to re-
main there and listen TO his stuff.
There came near being riot
when the trick was discovered; (;
but the speaker quieted the indig-
nant ones with the promise that he
wouldn't spring his dynamite gags
on them and detain them but short
time. He had his other eye peeled
for any indications of insurrection
and released his unwilling hearers
before they mobbed him. After per-
petrating this outrage on a pre-
sumabIy free people, he was guild
ed into this office by Attorney
Owen, and professional amenities
were exchanged; the politicians
abused and the public generally con-
demned for their lack of apprecia-
ton for the lever that moves the
world, the untrammeled press
when they know we need the mon
ey, too.

CLEAN MONEY HER HOBBY.
Young Woman Had Distinct Prejudice
Against Soiled Bills.

She stopped in front of the paying
teller's window and produced a wad
of soiled bills.
Would you kindly exchange these
notes for clean ones?" she asked, in
response to his polite inquiry as to
what he could do for her.
why, yes, madam, certainly. You
are afraid of the disease germs, l sup
pose," he remarked as he counted out
the amount in new greenbacks and
pushed them over the little brass door.
NO, not exactly" she smiled. ut
is simply a case of habit. Before l
married I had experience in the bank
ing business as a working woman, and,
like all in the work, l acquired a love
of fresh bills. 1 positively refused 70
handle anything soiled or worn. 1t
is one of the few things l have had
to regret in married life. The trades
men will give one that kind of tainted
money in making change, usually they
have nothing else in the cash draw

clean ones. These are lovely; they
smell quite like old times Thank
