Blamed the Good Weather, e,

The weather was brilliant and the wind
light and steady. The circumstances, ac-
cording to the Canadians, gave the peep
sight every advantage. and 1t became a
question not of craftsmanship, but OF
sights. The irony of this lies In the fact
that the bad weather which has character
lied the week, and which Great Britain,
Canada and Australia hoped would con-
tinue. broke today and the finest day of
weeks dawned With everything in their
favor. therefore. the Americans scored LIZ
out of a possible 1900, with the Canadians
second. having obtained the really flne
score OF 1871.
Col. Sam Hughes announced after the
match was over that every one of the
teams had beaten the previous record OF
1870 for the Palma trophy competitions.
This remarkable per ormance, OF course.
was due to the exceptional weather. Palma
trophy competitions have never before had
such good fortune in the matter OF weather
Gave Polite Cheers.
Col Hughes before an immense crowd
of spectators called for three cheers for
the Americans, and Col Thurston after
replying briefly to the complimentary re-
marks OF the colonel called for cheers for
the Canadians the Australians, the British
team and the ID. X. y. One feature of the
match was the remarkably good showing
stages, when they were running second to
the Americans but they fell away in the
third stage finishing behind the Canadians.
The surprise of the match was the bad
form Of the Britishers. Shooting splendidly
all week. they were considered the most
70 midable rivals of the Americans. and
were expected to make a close finish of II,
at least but this they utterly failed TO do.

The new cigarette law passed by
the Legislature not only provides a
penalty for selling cigarettes to min
ors but also provides a fine of $40
for the first offense to be doubled for
subsequent ~offenses for any minor
caught smoking cigarettes any place
outside of his own home. A dealer
is also subject to a fine for selling
cigarettes that contain anything but
tobacco. If this law is generally en-
forced, cigarette smoking by boys
will be cut of.-Cbief.
Mayor T. p. Goodwin desires us
to call the attention OF the public to
the fact that it is time to clean all
garbage from the streets, alleys, and
vacant lots. Another matter that he
calls attention to is the habit that
some have of throwing paper back
of buildings, which is later carried by
winds into the streets and onto the
property of others. The ordinances
forbid this, and continuance of the
practice will cause proceedings un
der the ordinances. The public
should take notice.

-Claud Fuller came home from
Chicago last week. He had a siren
uous year of it. Among other ex-
~periences was that of a broken leg
resulting from a foot ball game. That
put him on the retired list for several
weeks, and as he was about recovered
from the accident he was taken with
scarlet fever which kept him in the
hospital several weeks longer.
H. 3. Potter, the contractor that
is drilling the ~artesian well for the
city has had hard luck and abandon
ed the we'll he has been working on
and commenced on another one. Al
a depth of $50 feet, drilling was stop
ped and an attempt madet to put down
the three inch casing but the vel
had caved and clogged to such an ex
tent that the casing could not be driv'
en- down below 600 feet from the sur
face. An attempt was then made t
drill out the hole again but this was
likewise found impossible and the wei
abandoned. We hope MI. Potter will
have better luck on the second trial
and secure a good well. The city needs
the water badly before warm weather
sets in. The second hole is being
drilled close to the abandoned one.-

As will be seen from the above the
total vote cast in 1906 was 252, giving
a majority against license of 36; the
total vote in 1907 was 224, or % less
than the vote of 1906, and yet the
majority against license was increas-
ed by 46. 1t will be noted, also, from
the above figures hat 30 of this As
majority was furnished by the End
ward. This is where the surprise
came in. Everyone had considered
the second ward as safe for the license
side, but it made a greater gain against
license than the two other wards com
bined.
From Tuesdays results it is safe to
predict that De Smet will be without
saloons for a long time. If the Gid
is kept on as tight as during the past
year there is little prospect of there
ever being a change. The vote was
the result of an honest expression of
the individual voters. There are
many who last year voted for license,
and who now believe themselves to
be better off without the open saloon,

/ T ELECTION.

Tuesday witnessed the most quiet
city election that has been pulled off
in this city for a number of years.
There was only one contest on for an
official position, that between Geo.
Moody and E. S. Davis for Alderman
in the lst ward, which resulted in a
vote of 80 for Davis to 35 for Moody.
The license question was the only
issue to arouse interest. There was
some work done on both sides. but
not as much as in former years.
The vote on that question is given
below together with the vote of 1906,
so that that those wishing to make
commissions NAV do do so.

FIGHTS GYPS|ES n GET HIS DAUGHTER Greek of Little Rock Searches
 for NearIya Year HELD PRISONER IN CAMP Demetro Gets Deputy Sheriffs at Thornton, IIl.-Attacked By Gypsy
 king-Informed By Gypsy
 In Salt Lake City.
HELD PRISONER IN CAMP

Chicago, February 26-After a search of nearly year, in which almost every gypsy camp in the south and northwest had been visited, Cocelia Demetro, F years old, daughter of wealthy Greek in Little Rock, Ark. who had been kid naped March l, 1906, was found yester- day in camp near Thornton, III.
 The little girl was given shelter at police station here last night The trace of the girl was obtained by Leo Demetro her father who had searched for her eight months in vain. Then he met | gypsy in Salt Lake City, who learned of his sorrow. The man promised to inform him should he ever hear of the camp in which the child was held
 Accompanied by four deputy sheriffs, Demetro went to Thornton yesterday. Just beyond the outskirts of the town is a camp consisting of more than 100 tents. It was there that Cecelia was held pris- oner. When the Greek coppersmith and his companions arrived the girl was play ing on the prairie with several other youngsters.
 Before Demetro could reach his daugh- ter he was thrust aside by John Joe, king of the camp, and who is said to have kidnapped the child. Joe burst from tent and seized Cecelia as she was about to spring into her fathers arms. In an in- stant hundreds of gypsies were swarming out of their smoke-filled homes and hur- rying to the scene.
 Demetro seized Gypsy Joe by the throat. While they were struggling on the ground scores of Joes followers crowded around and threatened to inter- fere, but the sheriffs drew their revol- vers and seized the little girl. An instant later Demetro regained his feet, and talk ing his daughter, stood with the officers. Awed by the display of weapons the gyp- ses retreated and the deputy sheriffs hur- red to Thornton, where they boarded a train for Chicago.

JUDGES ENDORSED
 FOR CITY COURTS
H. A. SHARPE AND c. c. NESMITH SECURE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF -coNSIDERABLE DIS. CUSSlON HELD AT MEETING.

After considerable discussion and no small amount of feeling the Jefferson county bar adopted a resolution yester- day endorsing Judge H. A. Sharpe and Acting Judge c. c. Nesmith to fill the offices on the bench which the new legis- lature will create.
 The meeting was called for 9:3O yester- day morning in the circuit court, at which hour very large number of lawyers was present. Attorney Forney Johnston was moved to the chair and Attorney George Smith acted as secretary.
 Attorney P. G. Bowman stated the ob- ject of the meeting, saying that it was proposed to endorse two candidates for the judgeships which would be required in the city court if the present bill be- came law.
 Several speakers followed some op- posing the nomination of judges and oth- CTS favorng the proposition. After con siderable debate Attorney Julius David son proposed the following resolution:
 Resolved, By this meeting of the bar of Jefferson county, called for the pur- pose of indorsing names to be presented to the legislature for election to the two i city court bill now pending, that the order of business shall be as follows:
 1. Nominations open to every member of the bar of the county, and without restriction as to numbers.
 2. Selection of names offered by secret ballot, which shall be conducted by five tellers appointed by the chairman, and which ballot shall be conducted as fol- lows:
 Every lawyer present shall be entitled to vote for not more than two names for judges of the Birmingham city court, and on each ballot the name receiving the lowest number of votes shall be dropped until the names voted for shall be reduced to two. and these two shall be declared the choice of the bar of Jefferson county for judges of the Bir- mingham city court, and their names shall be sent by the chairman and secre- tary of this meeting to the presiding off cers of the senate and house, with the request that the legislature shall elect them to the two judgeships provided in said bill.
 This resolution was followed by sev- eral spirited speeches. A motion to ad- iourn was voted on and lost. Resolu tions favoring endorsing all six appli- cants for the office were proposed and defeated. A vote was eventually taken on the Davidson motion. with the fol- lowing result: H. A. Sharpe, 65 votes; c. c. Nesmith, 54 votes: H. c. Selheimer, 1e votes; H. K Whitef votes; w. c Garrett votes

NO LIGHT ON TRAGEDY.
Rayner, Who Killed Whiteley, Is Re-
 manded to Jail.

London February 26.-The case of Hor- ace G. Rayner, who shot ana killed WIT liam Whiteley of Westbourn Grove Jan uary 24, was heard in police court here today. Counsel for the treasury whlch prosecuted, dealt at length with the prls- oner's parentage, and admitted there was some doubt on the subject. Counsel added' however, that he was prepared to produce overwhelming evidence to show that there was not the slightest ground for the sug- gestion that Rayner was Whiteleys son. counsel also asserted that there was no truth in the reports that the deceased merchant had been for years victlm or an extensive blackmailing scheme
 The testimony taken today threw no new light on the tragedy and the prls- oner was remanded.
