seImn Ment L.n,r In Enect.

The much talked of meat and milk inspection law of this city went into effect this morning and from now on the patrons of the city market are as- sured that they will have healthy meats. The meat and milk ordinance has been talked of in this city for many months and was before the city coun- Gil for nearly a year before 1t was passed. The passage of the ordinance was rushed through the city council Health muck-raked the slaughter houses of the city and exposed the fil- thy condition in which some of them were kept.
 Since that report of the Board of Health was made public the slaughter houses of the city have been put in a good condition and the meat eaters of the city have been getting good meats for their tables The ordinance which went into effect this morning provided for a meat and milk inspector and for the operation of union slaugh- ter house. For the meat and milk in- spector the city secured the services of Dr. J. R. Conner, veterinary sur geon. For a number of years past Dr. Conner has been in charge of the gov ernment's experimental station at Un- iontown and is one of the best men that could have been secured.
 The other part of the ordinance which provides for the erection anu the operation of the union slaughter house has not yet been acted upon. A committee of the council of which c. c. Grayson is chairman, was instructed to advertise for bids for the erection and operation of this slaughter house. Chairman Grayson has received several bids which will probably be opened at the next meeting of the city council, and if any of them proves satisfactory the question will probably be settled at the September meeting of the coun- cil.

only a short Respite.

Citizens of Selma will only have short respite from matters Of a pontl- cal nature. The State campaign which they have just passed through was strenuous one and all are glad that 1t is over. Already there is talk of another political campaign and there are now several candidates who are sollcltln;s votes. The coming campaign whlch has already opened up IS the one Tor cjtv officers wko will take their seats next May.
 While an effort is being made by some to start this campaign at once the movement is being generally dls- couraged by the voters. The cltzens say that the busy session Of the year Is coming on and that they want rest from politics. But this rest will hardly be granted and it is expected that the next few weeks will see many candidates in the field for the various city offices.

Fake "FIash" of Result of Race Robs

. NEW YORK, April 23.-Poolrooms
in this city and probably all over the
country were robbed yesterday Of hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars by one
of the most skillful and successful
race track betting swindles ever per-
petrated. In the fourth race at New
Orleans, which was won by First Pre-
MUM at odds of to 10, another horse
that had finished last of four starters,
Fenian, at 20 to l, backed down to s
to 1, was sent out as the winner.
In New York alone more than $40,
900 is known to have been lost to those
who had the advance information nee
essary to induce them to bet on Fenian,
whose chances of winning seemed mi
croscopic The false return of the re-
suit was sent out by news bureau
which supplies poolrooms here with
the racing information. Another "tick-
er" was also sent out on the false re-
turn.

way. so there will be no bother with
other matters" When asked about
having this trial at once, the judge
said it would hardly be wise, as the
question of the legal right in bringing
the men here was in the hands or the
supreme court, and if they were re-
turned to Colorado the large expense
incurred in a trial at this time would
be wasted. Then, again, the Jail at
this place is in no shape for prisoners,
and is now being repaired and enlarg-
ed. and it will not have been COM

that court will not be opened here be-
fore the latter part of May.-Cardwell

that Dolliver is giving Perkins more
than perfunctory support, in pursuance
of his pledge to Perkins before it was
known Cummins would be a candidate.
The Perkins men will not admit this,
however, and will say that Dolliver
is staying out of the contest because
he could scarcely with propriety take
a hand in it.

reserve and will commence to get their
horses and packs ready for the sum-

the cutting of a number of trails in
different parts of the reserve and will
work until snow f1es next fall. They
state that the snow is going rapidly in
the mountains, and in the vicinity of
Elk City but little is left on the
ground with the exception of the val
leys. The foresters state that the work
in the mines is progressing rapidly
and more men are being put on at
the larger mines. The Orc Grande
district is also showing signs of activ-
ity, and the operations promise to be
extensive during the summer. There
will be plenty of water until late in

cabinet, at which practically half
the guests were among those mention
ed in connection with the republican
nomination for president in 1908. Sec
retaries Root and Taft were there, and
Vice-President Fairbanks and Uncle
Joe Cannon.
The talk, of course, got around to
the subject which agitates the inner
consciousness of the White House pos
sibilities a good portion of the time,
and, OF course, the SeTlouSlleSo Will
which the individual owners of the

teringly that there wasn't any show
for the others as long as the public
refused to consider him out of the race
or something like that, and the presi-
dent, to allay, fears, replied in the
same joking vein.
Some of the dinner guests thought
the incident good enough to repeat, and
it has been passed around the cloak
room at the capitol. 1t is realized to be
a fact that the various aspirants for
the republican nomination are puzzled,
to say the least, by the refusal of many

that under no circumstances will he

surances that he will not be nominal

The alleged perjury consisted in Pc
tan testifying as to the term of resi-

in the land embraced in their home

that the land was to be transferred to
Petan when final proof had been made.
and that in making entry of the land
the four persons simply acted for him.
Petan was in court when the indict-

Has legislative Experience.

Both houses of congress always pre-
fer to have in the White House man
who has had legislative experience. A
president who for years has particl-
pated in the rough and tumble debates
on the floor of the house, or int he more
dignified debates in the senate, and
through such an experience has come
to have a thorough knowledge of leg
islative forms, precedents and customs,
and an intimate personal acquaintance
with the members Of the legislative
body. is obviously a more acceptable
president to the average legislator than
the man who comes to the White
House by a short cut from private life.
And so it happens that, other things
being equal, the senators and represen-
