Quite refreshing in comparison
with men on the other ticket who
unblushingly affirm that they will
disregard the orders of the peo-
pie il those orders conflict with
their own opinions.
The republicans are quite put
out, apparently and are doing all
they can to secure Withdrawals
from the ticket but so far are not
meeting with much success.
We do not blame them for try
ing to scare men off the Citizens
ticket for it is the only way they
can possibly beat one OF them.
The convention was larger and
more enthusiastic than usual and
there was no slate. This makes
the ticket popular one.

Pleasant Social Gathering,

1t was pleasant and thor
oughly enjoyable gathering that
was entertained by the Paon'a
Womans' Club at Crooks hall
last Wednesday evening. The
programme was spicy and anus
ing, the work of the male Quar-
tette and the female quartette
being especially good. The lunch
con served was feature enjoyed
by all. The club always manages
to show their husbands one good
time a year to keep them in good
nature. The hall was very beauti-
fully decorated and in all partic-
ulars the occasion was one to be
remembered.

same and all organize under
new name non-p partizan move
ment looking to crystalized ac-
ton against party politics in city
affairs.
On Wednesday evening the
Good Government people eau
cused at Bruce hall and decided
to accept the offer of the Tax
payers. A committee was ap-
pointed to call a mass convention
of those who favored non partizan
action in city affairs and as a
result on Friday evening the
Good Government convention
adjourned its organization sine
die, and the assembled electors
at once proceeded to organize
the Citizens party and nominate
a ticket.

to work in short order.
In SO newly organized body
composed of men who have not
affiliated in the past it is not
strange that some friction should
result. The first misunderstood
ing occurred over the nomination
for mayor. For several days a
move to nominate Hon. M. D.
Vincent for this Office has been
on foot and many telephone
messages and kilograms have
passed between Mr.. Vincent and
his friends. On Friday morn

TOWN POLITICS.
Two Tickets are now Before the PeO-
pie, and the Voters will Soon
Settle on
WHICH SUITS THEM BEST.

The past week has been pretty
full of political work. On Mon
day evening the republicans held
a convention and nominated a
ticket headed by Dr. Dixon,
with Clint Oliver for clerk, Mrs.
c. c. Hawkins for treasurer,
and G. w. Hester, John Nc
Naughton and S. c. Hem for
councilmen. They lodged the
liquor question and are prepared
to claim most anything on that
matter. DIR. Dixon AYERS that he
will not sign license no matter
what the people say on the
question, and as the doctor is man
who may be trusted to. keep his
word it is more than likely that he
would refuse TO sign licenses
even if the people gave hundred
majority for license. Likewise it
is probable that a man who has
SO little regard for the will of the
people would be apt to over ride
their will in other matters in the
same way.
On Tuesday evening the Tax
payers party met at M. d. Vim
cents Office and formally dis
banded as party, the under
standing being that the Good
Government people would do the

the editor OF this paper from Mr..
Vincent, declining to accept the
nomination. While we regretted
his decision the telegram was
placed in the hands OF men who
gave it wide circulation during the
day and it was supposed that the
Vincent boom would stop, but
at the convention the voters alb
solutely refused to accept Mr..
Vincent's telegraphic declination,
or the utterances of his friends
as being final. and proceeded to
give him almost unanimous
nomination.
We consider it rather extraor-
dlnary that SO emphatic an ac-
ton should be taken over the
protest of the candidate. How
ever, we are informed by some of
those who supported his nomi-
tion that they did so believing
that his declnation was not
final, and that he would conclude
to run Also others believed
that the republicans might take
down Mr.. Dixon, whom very few
want, and endorse Mr.. Vincent
whom everyone wants. Anyway
the matter will remain hung up
for few days while efforts are
made to get Mr.. Vincent to
reconsider.
f. f. Hufty was unanimously
nominated for clerk.
Winifred Hammond and VIM.
Hopkins were pla oed in nomin-
alton for treasurer and Miss Ham
mond was nominated.
For trustees. James Lane, John
McDonough and w. J. AFFORD
were nominated.
Unlike the republicans, the
Citizens convention submitted
the liquor question TO vote OF
the people. Likewise they gave
them an opportunity to vote on
billiard and pool halls. They ad-
hered to the idea that the people
have right to instruct their ser
wants and that the servants are
bound to follow their orders.

DYSPEPSIA AND DESTINY.
Men Who Neglected their Bodies
Failed When Success was
Nigh.

Boston Globe.
Man has machine, an apparatus
Of delicate adjustment, but of great
power-his body-but too often he
neglects to use it. He lets it rest in
ease or slumber in sloth. He coddles
it. He arrays it in fine linen and
purple, bodizens it with jewels and
pampers it with indigestible foods,
often sparing it the arduous labor of
mastication. Hs permits it to sit
awkwardly with crossed legs or stoop-
ed shoulders, as if the trunk was too
fragile to hold up its limbs, or the
weight Of the atmosphere was an At
las load for its back.
And what reward hath the mind for
this indulgence granted the sybaritc
flesh? Ingratitude and complaining
accompanied by acucastions. The
poor, dcbeiiiatcd muscles and nerves
justly charge that the overseer mind
has been negiectful Of its duties, and

Questioned Concerning Several Canal
Matters.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal commits
sion and d. w. Ross, the commits
sion's purchasing agent, appeared be-
fore the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce to answer
protests from New Orleans that that
city Is being Disseminated against by
the canal officials in favor of New
York and also to advise the commit
tee as to the truth of the rumor that
the canal purchasing Office Is to be
removed from Washington to New
York.
Mr.. Shonts explained that he will
leave the commission on March and
cannot speak authoritatively as to fu-
ture plans of the commission, but he
said that he did not know that any
change in the purchasing Office Is
contemplated.
When asked why It is not possible
railway steamers between New Or
leans and Colon Mr.. Shonts replied
that such a change would interfere
with the regular service now main
tanned, as the railway has only five
vessels, all of which are required in
the New York service. He also said
that Mobile wants Panama steamers
and has appealed to him, thus dis
proving the claim Of New Orleans
that Gulf ports are all agreed that
New Orleans is the port which should
have the canal business.

ONE HUNDRED MINERS DEAD
TERRIBLE DISASTER OCCURS IN
A COLLlERY AT LAS ES-

Eagle Pass, Tex. Feb. 20.-A dis

Mex, says that 1t Is now believed 100
lives were lost In the explosion Mon
day in the mine belonging to the Mex
lean Coal and Coke company. Forty
three bodies have been removed and
more than sixty miners are still In
the compartment where the explosion
occurred. Whether they are dead or
not is not known. Many OF the men
who were killed were Japanese.
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by gas which ignited from
q defective lamp carried by one of the
miners. The accident is the most Sc
rious that has occurred in the district
since the mine disaster which occur
red In the Barratorna mines In this
district year ago In which about the

that Thaw told her that Stanford
Whites practices on the young wo-

she flushed and declined to describe

of Thaw's attorney the most impor-

against further postponement.

DIVORCE STATISTICS.
Over One Million DEGREES Issued In
Twenty Years.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Prelim!nary
estimates made by the bureau of CEN
sus as a result of the Investigation Of
marriage and divorce statistics indi-
cate that the number of applications
for divorce filed throughout the United
States during the twenty-year period
from 1887 to 1906 will reach the enor-
nous total of 100000.
It is estimated that three-fourths of
the applications have been granted, SO
that the statistics when compiled will
show that In the period stated more
than 100000 divorces have been al
lowed.
In the tweaty-year period from 1867
to 1886, for which divorce statistics
were secured, the total number OF di.
vorces was $4,000.
On their face the figures indicate a
stunendous increase, but when the
ratio they bear to the population is
considered 1t is not so great, though
still largo enough to warrant the seri-
GUS consideration of the American

reason that the popular demand for
such revision is not great enough.
This expression by President Roose-

son for want of activity among West

urged by their constituents to make a
stand for early tariff revision. Many
