Democrats Hear Oratory

other gathering of the clans of dem
ocracy in Idaho Springs, ostensi bly, for
the purpose of instructing the delegate.
or rather the more or less discred-
tied member of the state central com
mittee. The meeting was attended by
the committeeman and all others who
could be induced to believe that they
would be permitted to make suggestions
which would be needed by the head
strong member of the state central
committee.
The war horses of democracy were
there, and with the bit between their
teeth they talked, gesticulated and
made faces. Bryan was eulogized, and
boquets were lavished on Patterson and
Spser. but it was of no avail. The
ous committeeman and visitors
present were not agreed as to the Speer
and Patterson split. Some wanted to
recognize Speer and throw Old Per-
pleNity overheard; others wanted to
uphold thePatterson end and continue to
''spew' the Speer brand of democrats
ed nothing but harmony. and who
would be willing to throw both of the
main elements of the party into OBJ
livion
Eloquence was wasted in an effort
to prove that Roosevelt was not the
great president the majority of the
people believed him to be, and it is said
that no less an authority than Barney
O'Connell said things that would have
caused the Presidents ears to tingle
O'Connell quoted the bible to show
that his deductions were according to
Hoyle and there were none to dispute
the quotations. The main object of
the meeting was to try and get enough
old members to remember they were
democrats and to stand again for the
slate and actions of the self appointed
leaders of the party in this county. AS
almost every one in attendance had
more or less of desire to be chosen the
Moses of the party in the coming cam
paign, and would hail with delight a
change in the present leading repre-
sentative, who clings like leach to the
Organization and the leadership, a la
Rntterson] there was some enthusiasm
and each and every democrat present
sought to impress the others that he
was a democrat, first, last and for
ever
After all of the speech making; all of
the kindly advice; all of the suggestions
and opinions expressed, the very next
day, the member of the state central
committee from this county, went to
Denver and voted as he pleased, with
the corporation ridden Speer element,
and during the week there have been
mutterings in the ranks. There will
be an axe welded at the coming
primaries and it is whispered that the
remnants of the local democracy will
do little ''spewing OUT themselves
before the next county convention;
that there will be an ambitious and
frequent office seeker who will be
minus standing in the party councils.
The whining of the "official organ"
will be more or less interesting as the
campaign wakes warm, but every
effort of the wouldbe boss to regain
his lost prestige will be boomerang
He has stacked the political deck too
often and it don't suit the MAORI ty

Truth About the Century Plant.

The Century plant. so named be- cause of the popular idea that it blooms but once in a hundred years, in one sense makes good it's name, for it bloom sonly once, then dies.
 In the genial climate of Southern California it reaches maturity in fif- teen or twenty years, while in colder climates the period may range from forty to fifty years. There are many species of the Agave family, native to Northern Mexico, where it is called the Maguey. The plant furnishes 'pulque," the national drink of Mex icO.
 At the time of blooming the plant throws up a single stock of rapid growth to the height of twelve to twenty feet, from which the tassel- like flowers sprout forth. This great flower stalk draws all the sap and vigor from the body of the plant, soon withers and dies.
 At the base of the thick green leaves are found little suckers. each with a root. which, when planted. at once begin to grow. The end and edges of the leaves are well armed with stiff sharp spines, the prick of which are very painful.
 This is natures way of protecting the plant from the ravages of rabbits and other desert rodents.-October Technical World Magazine.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING
 OF THE CITY COUNCIL
The Saloon Ordinance Found in Some
 Cases to Bar Restaurants.

The regular meeting of the council was held on Tuesday evening in the town hall with CounciImen Cerny, Palmer. Stapley and Kleinman and Mayor Barnett, Clerk Jones and City Attorney SiIverthOrn, present.
 After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, J. D. Robertson proprietor of the Palace saloon asked for a permit to operate a restaurant in the rear of his place of business. This permission could not be granted at last nights session however, because of a clause in Sec. 3, of city ordinance 35, which forbids the placing of chairs or tables In rooms adjacent to one in which a saloon is operated. As this ordinance was never intended to ap- ply to restaurants, on motion, it was ordered that it be changed according to regular form.
 The following bills were then order

AT THE VANCE AUDITORIUM TO-
 NIGHT. 1.-THE DEVIL"

The popular Burgess Co. were seen last night in a rollicking farce entitled The Whole Dam Family. It was one hearty laugh from start to finish. Miss Anderson was the most bewitching of widows as Mrs. Eleanor Dam. MT. Cunningham the new leading man made a flashing appearance and was excellent as Leonard ClaXton. Miss Bronridge was a most mischievous sprite as AIillie, and Miss Grantley as Miss Pennywise gave a clever impersO- nation. The military old ClaxtOn was well played by Louis Lytton. A great big hit vas Miss Franc Kelley as Sol This young woman proved herself re- markedly versatile and r'~'-o1 that she is a comedienne of no mean ability The play went with fine dash and spirit and pleased immensely.
 The vaudeville numbers were all changed and again won a big share of favor. Billy Cummings is certainly the pOssessor of a marvellous voice and he is going to be a big favorite. The Kelley Sisters again had a whirlwind act that caught on finely. Miss ROthe the little magnet captivated the house las usual.
 Tonights play will be that much dis .cussed, "The Devil" It is reported that the Burgess Co. give even a bet ter performance of this remarkable drama than the high priced stock com .pany at the Belasco, Los Angeles. Out side of one or two of the coast cities and Tucson, Mesa has the first oppor |tunity to see this play of any city in Al. lis really wonderful from many stand points and fairly scintillates with sparkling epigrams. That it will prove the real dramatic treat of the season is Iassured and no one should miss it. The sensation of New York and play led simultaneously by two companies in that city is the biggest success of re- |cent years.

 It was decided to place no more lights on the public thoroughfares for street lighting purposes. as the funds available will not permit.
 The street committee was instructed to see that a new watering trough is put in the place of the old one which lis at present practically useless. The committee will consider the feasibility of putting in a cement trough, as it is thought by many that this will be the cheaper in the end.
 Marshal Peterson stated that the city licenses as they are now drawn up are practically a receipt without his signature, so that in the event he should lose the book containing them he would practically lose the value of the money represented. The clerk was instructed to send for a rubber stamp marked void, unless signed by the marshal" and in this manner obviate the difficulty now experienced by the marshal.
 The matter of deciding the fees of the justice of the peace was left with the city attorney, the council agreeing to abide by his decision.
 To facilitate the early use of the money voted for the bonds, the council decided to meet in executive session on Wednesday evening for the purpose of considering the bids for engineering work on the proposed water works

BABY BOY BURNED
 PERHAPS FATALLY
Two Children Played With Matches
 and Ones Clothing Caught Fire.

\ sad accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the Wm. Carver home near the creamery when the youngest child, boy of two, was probably fa- tally burned. The little one was play ing on the floor with an older brother and it is presumed that matches were being handled by the two children. At any rate, the baby's clothing was a mass of flames when Mrs. Carver was attracted by the children's screams from another part of the house. Dr. Moeur was hurriedly called and at the time of writing had made but a tenn pOrary dressing of the burns and was at that time unable to tell just how serious the results might be If the burns, however, prove to be of any depth, it is hardly possible for the baby to recover as almost the entire surface of it's body from the knees up and including the face was burned over. The little one is being given the best of medical care and attention but even under the most favorable cir cumstances, its recovery is extremely doubtful
 The accident is particularly dis tressing for but a couple of weeks ago the older brother, d child of about four, was poisoned by drinking gaso- line and barely recovered.
