The Pistol Again.

Has a night Waterman a legal
right to carry a pistol when off
duty, or has any other officer, for
that matter? At least two homi-
cides have. recently occurred in
Texas, over trivial things, because
two watchmen off duty happened
to be armed. In the latest tragedy
one man passing the other asked,
What are you watching me for?''
The reply was. Because you need
watching, and the usual, threw
his hand behind him, resulted in
the death of a quiet, harmless
young man. a young devoted
wife sobs with aching heart over
the untimely death of loved one,
two men-father and son, fret out
their hearts in a prison cell. Can
any one doubt that either OF these
men would give his right arm, aye
his life, TO recall that fatal shot?
What matters it if jury justi-
fes' the deed, as IS probable? One
soul has been sent unprepared to
the judgment bar, at least one
mans life IS ruined, all because
of the most despicable practice Of
carrying concealed weapons. Is it
a matter for wonder that the law
abiding people of Texas are tired
of this. and demand the enforce
ment of the law? Outlaw the pis-
tol and fay the pistol toterl-Cor-
pus Christi Caller.

less than ten years, and being

AS a witness to his upright
ness we are told by man

A Popular Official

Delta county never had a
more popular and efficient
public servant than that in the
person of Miss Emma G. My
ers as county superintendent
of schools. She has taught in
the schools of Delta for a
number of years and every
body is her friend, because of
her pure womanly character
and sweet christian life. Not
a woman or child in the county
but knows Miss Myers, and to
know her is to love her. She
has been in your shomes as a
teacher foryo children, she
has visited you in sickness and
sympathized with you in your
unhappy hours; she has been
among you in the church and
in the Sunday school, always
a willing worker for the bet
terment of the human race.
No schools in her jurisdiction
have been sighted during her
term of office; she has attend
ed strictly to every detail Of
the business; what more could
you ask or expect Of a public
official? 1t is nowyour oppor-
tunity to do her d favor by re-
elccting her to the position Of
county superintendent. Cast
your vote for her next Tues
day, and maintain the present
splendid standard of our pub
lie schools.

the highest average Of his

great success, and above all
proving himself an honest,
model young man. If elected

to accomplish and much more

For Representative

n. NJ. Heistand, an old set
tier of Delta county, is a can
didate for representative.
He is a plain farmer and a
representative of the people.
He served this county as COM
missioner whose term Of office
was marked by splendid pub
lie improvements under which
no jobbing was done or even
charged. He was elected
to the notorious Fifteenth
general assembly, and he
proved that he was the genu-
inc friend and supporter of
popular government. He
made a magnificent record as
a member of the contest com
mittee, which, by a majority
vote, favored the unseating OF
Governor Adams. He signed
the minority for his retention.
He was one of those who
wasted no time in talking;
his record was one of action.

years of age, he came to Colo

at Tin Cup, Gunnison county.
Here he remained until 1884

times as he was able. That he
got it is proven by the way IL
