Another Harmony Meeting.

counties of Mclean, Burleigh,
Emmons and Kidder were also
present, but were not called to-
gether and held no meeting await
ing the result of the representa-
lions Of their brethren west of the
river. The promises of Kennedy
and the other committeeman were
valueless. These newspaper men
were promptly turned down.
It would not be fair and equit-
able to the newspaper men of the
state to place them all on the same
basis, for a large portion Of them
have to be punished by withhold
ing patronage. This harmony
body, manipulated by Alec Nc
Kenzie, was going to treat every
body alike when it met at Fargo,
but now all that is forgotten.
Then, too, the great and only
Cooper came forward to the mourn
er's bench and told them how he
had been in the habit Of placing
his patronage in punches and to
special favorites, and to the enemy,
and, having acquired this habit he
could not possibly break himself of
it unless they could see their way
clear to send him to some hospital
for reformation. The secretary OF
state said Ward county must be
taken care of for there were four
candidates from that county and
consequently Ward should get the
bulk of the business. Therefore
Ward county newspapers will get
the plum.
Yes, there is lots Of harmony,
but it appears only in spots. The
old question arises again, "can the
leopard change his spots?"

there was any truth in the current re-
port that ne had Or intended to obtain
control of the Gould property. He re-

rumors, but there is nothing to them.
1t is true that recently the system

to meet certain Indebtedness of the
Gould properties, but personally L

Mr. Hartman said: "The election OF

BIG FIRE IN
KENTUCKY

Midway, Ky, Aug. 6.-The town
was threatened with destruction by
fire last night. Five warehouses were
destroyed entirely, entailing loss OF
100000. The flames burned 47,0O0 bar
rels of whisky, which turned the
creek near by into a fiery stream for
ten miles. AS the flames coursed
down the creek they destroyed the
Southern railroad trestle and half a
dozen negro cabins. The fire is be-
lieved to have been incendiary.
While the property loss was placed
at 100000, the constructive loss to
the government in the destruction OF
whisky in bond amounting to about
100000 gallons, will be nearly
s2,5OO,OOO.

Newspaper Advertising.

Newspaper advertising" says Fer
dinand Cimiotti, of the Pullman ag-
ency, lis the best advertising that
ing that brings quicker results. A
merchant who uses the newspapers
gets run for his investment. Not
only does newspaper advertising pay
big returns, but it keeps the name OF
your product before the purchasing
public. The merchant who is wise
plans systematic campaign and goes
at it as though his wares were the
first under the sun.
by logical and convincing state
newspaper reader and soon builds
up wholesome and prosperous busi-
ness-that is, of course, if he has t1s
goods to back up his advertising. He
must have the goods or otherwise his
advertising will count for naught.
Nothing is to be gained by misrepre
sentation, and the business man who
is honest and alive to conditions will
state his case truthfully. A truthful
statement simply told is more effect
i've than a column of matter 1t con-
vinces the reader because it endures
investigation and stands analysis.
This is an intelligent era, and the
advertiser who aims to reach the buy
er must make his copy clear and ex-
plicit, so that even a schoolboy can
understand it. The simpler it is the
greater the result.
Newspaper advertising is the sure
road to success, and | would heartily
urge all to take advantage of its pos
sibilities if you have the goods"

MEETING

A meeting of the soliciting commit

the Commercial Club at five O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. In attendance
were A. Pruit, Will Prayer, Robert
Kellahin. U. S. Bateman, John w.
Rhea, c. c. Tannehill, E. l.. Bedell.
J. F. Hinkle and J. A. Graham. 1t was
gratifying to see the enthusiasm that
was prevalent. After discussing the
situation, the amount raised and the
people yet to be solicited, it was the
unanimous verdict that the bonus of
100000 would be raised. The success
of their efforts is assured. Roswell's
will be sustained. The con
idence in its people will remain un-
shaken. Whether the promoter, Ed
road Or not, Roswell will have dem
onstrated that she means business.
The advertisement for the town is
alone worth the effort
1t was decided to proceed as rap

COUNcILMEN WERE THE
FIRST TO BE NOTIFIED.

When the engineer who is estab-
fishing the curb lines for the water
and sewer systems reported that ma
ny people had their buildings out in
the alleys and streets, it created
a great uproar among the city faith
ers, and they told the engineer to
have the city marshal notify all such
offenders that they must move such
distractions at once. The first work
in this line was done on South Hill,
and the first three men to be notified
were Councilmen Haynes, Whiteman
and Bell But there will be many otn-
ers, and some of the other city Off
cials are said to be in line for such
notification. But all will be treated
alike. Oficials as well as ordinary cit
liens will have to put their buildings
back of the line.

FROM ROSWELL TO Ell
PASO BY AUTO MOBILE.

From Ell PaSO Herald.
c. NJ. Barber, Robert Rhinehart and
DR.. and Mrs. C. T. Starke- have just
returned from Roswell, having made
the trip from Roswell to Ell Paso all
the way by automobile. They had
some exciting experiences, but got
through safely and did not have to
use a monkey wrench a single time
on the engine or fix punctured tire.
The machine that brought them in
last night was sold on arrival here
and was taken today to Las Cruces
by G. H. Totten.
The party left FL Paso by train and
went to Torrance where connection
was made with the auto line to Ros-
well. At Roswell Mr.. Barber had two
cars unsold and into these they piled
and started back. AT Carrizozo one
Of the cars was sold and the four con
tinued the trip to Ell Paso in the 9th
er car.
They ran into a heavy rainstorm
south of Carrizozo and in trying to
miles south Of that place near the
ranch of w. P. Mcdonald the machine
slipped partly over an enbankment.
The rain was falling in torrents, but
they had to remain all night in it, and
next morning they went to the ranch
and got help to pull the machine out.
Then they continued toward Ell Pa
so without having to make any re-
pairs to the machine, but at Judge
Falls ranch they had to stop three
hours to await for the river to fall
so they could ford it.
The rest of the trip was made to
Ell Paso without incident

THE MYSTERIOUS MISSION
OF THE SILENT ONE.

From Tucumcari Sun.
Not drum was heard, not a trum-
pet fared and not a shout rent the
welllin when Delegate w. H. And
rews alighted from the train (not a
special this time) at this place on
Tuesday evening last. His reception
was frost. Perhaps twenty-five peo-
pie saw the delegate during his stay
over night. We are unable tot.say
the people Or just THE PEOPLE,
who are supposed to have the instruc
tons from Quay county neatly done
up and tucked away in their vest
pockets.
1t is said that the Delegate alighted
from the train, was introduced to one
Or two persons, then escorted to the
Hotel Glenrock, where he introduced
himself to one other and then engag-
ed in secret caucus with the chair
man of the Republican county cen
trail committee.
After the caucus he was surround
ed by a few of the old guard, escorted
to a closed carriage and driven to un-
known whereabouts. He may have
joined an excursion party to view
the rising of the moon from the sum-
nit of Mt. Tucumcari; he may have
joined a bathing party out at the
Blue Water, or he may have held
conclave in some nearby cave, safe
from the approach of those who advo-
cate the candidacy of Spiess or Judge
Mann. There were those of the faith
in the town that yearned to grasp the
hand of their representative, that
longed to hear him tell of what lit
used to be alleged he had done for
the people of the territory; but, alas,
the Delegate presented the sad spec
tacIe of statesman soon to be bereft
of his pie, soon to go down to a po-
litical death, unnotieed, unhonored
and unsung, save for a single duet in
the doleful voice of two champions
Of his forlorn hopes.
