That may be Olga's way of looking at it, but such a kiss doesn't belong to the simple life.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Candidates For Denver.

While few men in Alabama have announced as candidates for delegates to the democratic national convention. many party men are being mentioned, g remarked a citizen whose business 1 takes him to various sections of the state and who keeps in close touch with l democratic affairs. "In the First dis trict ". c. Fitts and Edgar M. Robin son will probably be candidates. Tn the Second district Samuel c. Jenkins of Baldwin and S. H. Dent, Jr.. of Montgomery are prominently men tioned. In the Third there are several prospective candidates, among them A A. Evans of Clayton, H. M. Wilson of Opelika, and H. L. Martin and Henry Stegall. both of Ozark. I have heard that L. E. Jeffries of Selma and J. B. Goodwin were being urged to run in the Fourth. In the Fifth Judge J. c. Wood of Lowndes and w. M. Lackay of Dadeville are mentioned.
 'M. T. Ormond of Tuscaloosa, James Pearce of Marion and John H. Bank head Jr., of Jasper are regarded as candidates in the Sixth. w. T. Browu of St. Clair is candidate in the Seventh district; and R. A. Mitchell of Etowah and J. R. Rosson of Cullman may enter the race. In the Eighth R. H. Walker, editor of the Limestone Democrat, has announced, and Samuel Blackwell, mayor of New Decatur, and A. D. Kerby of Huntsville are mem toned. In the Birmingham district, the Ninth, Escar Floyd probably will be a candidate. Of course other demo- crats are being discussed in connection with Denver but their 'booms are not yet launched.
 For delegates at large John w. Tomlinson, Rufus N. Rhodes and E. w. Booker are avowed candidates, and so, too, I am told, is Congressman J. Thomas Hefiin. Congressman Henry D. Clayton is being urged by many dem ocrats to announce, but he has not been heard from regarding the matter, so far as I am informed. The primary plan will cost the candidates something, but for the honor of representing Ala bama In the national convention an ar dent party man will not hesitate to give up a few hundred dollars, or 5000 if necessary.
 "A friend of mine in Richmond, Va., ran in a primary for district delegate to the democratic convention in Chica- go in 1892. He was a partisan of Grover Cleveland but was not an as- pirant for any office. It cost him ex- actly s1100 to be elected but he said the pleasure of attending the conven- tion as a Cleveland man was worth all he spent. He thought less of money than most men who had no political axes to grind. I am not a politician but if I were I would think long time before I would pay out large sum for the honor of being delegate. But tn en all of us are not made alike.

BISBEE MAN BITTEN
 BY A MAD C0Y0IE
A Friend Called Away From Mesa By News of the Incident.

c. B. Dallaha, a buyer for F.. A Torera and company. meat dealing firm of Bisbee, received a telegram yesterday morning from Graham mountains to the effect that one of the buyers for the same firm had been badly bitten by coyote afflicted with hydrophobia the night before. MT Dallaha had just completed purchase of carload of cattle for his firm, and left at once for that place.
 As near as can be learned at present it is understood that the man who was bitten, was sleeping out on the prairie in company with the parties from whom he was purchasing cattle, when the coyote attacked him. The mans condition was so serious from the first. that he immediately made arrangements to leave for Chicago, to be treated for hydrophobia at the Pasteur Institute located there. The name of the unfortunate man could not be ascertained.
 It is the supposition that the animal which attacked him was afflicted with heat rabies, n several instances have occurred where coyotes have had this disease.

OPEN SEASON ON DOGS | ONE GOOD DAYS SPORT
A Choice Collection of canines Gath cred Together Yesterday.

The open season for dogs without tags is on and the first days sport
 was productive of great results Mar
 shal Brown has instituted a new plan this year. He has made collection of the licenses as close as possible, but instead of appointing an official dog catcher to take up all untagged dogs,
 he merely caused it to be noised about
 town that premium of 50 cents per
 head on male dogs and $100 on fe-
 male dogs would be paid upon the de-
 livery of good specimens at the of
 ficial dog pond, near the marshars
 home. This plan works to perfection.
 In a short time yesterday all the boys
 in town who were not otherwise oc-
 cupied armed themselves with ropes
 and a general rodeo of the town was shortly and by noon the marshal had choice collection of canines Still more were gathered in before the roundup was concluded for the day
 The scheme worked well and the town was combed as with a fine toothed comb. Less time was occupied in the procedure than would have been had a single man or boy been given the contract. They boys engaged in the business have a complaint to make, though. They claim that the dog crop has not been given proper care and as a result fewer dogs are to be found loose this season than at any time past Nevertheless, the boys en- gagged in the business yesterday made a good thing of it while 1t lasted, and

NEW DEPUTY SHERIFF
 FAXES SHOT Al MAN
The Man Kept On Going and at Last
 Report Was Still Missing.

Sam Reed. the newly appointed deputy sheriff, is getting a taste of of-
 ficial responsibility and yesterday for
 time had his hands little more than full.
 To begin at the start of the story, | it should be stated that MT. Reed was fortunate Sunday afternoon in appre-
 hending a Yaqui as he deftly extract
 ed watch from the pocket of white friend MT. Reed took the watch
 away from the Yaqui and placed him in jail. He was given a hearing yes terday on a charge of petty larceny, though it might easily have been made felony charge. The Yaqui claimed
 that the watch had been placed in his
 care for a short time. but the story
 did not sound good when other evil dence to the contrary was brought out. Consequently the Yaqui was fined $40 or as many days. The condition of his finances made the choice of days
 necessary and he was taken to jail again
 | Together with two other Yaquis, who were each sent up on charges of
 disorder for ten days. the deputy sher- | if took the watch stealer to the res
 taurant for dinner yesterday noon. Upop returning them to jail and while opening the next door, one man made
 a break for liberty. The deputy had
 more than he could handle. He dared
 not drop the two he had. left to give chase to the third, so he locked them securely in jail and then went after the missing man. By this time the fleeing Yaqui had made a good start toward the river, but Sam took a
 couple of shots at his disappearing
 form without effect A prolonged search failed to reveal his whereabouts and he is still at liberty.

 the early advent of the Mormans in crossing the plains. and their settling in Utah, were narrated by different ones. The talk on Pioneer Life by T. F.

probably for a day or two there will
 be an occasional stray dog picked up.
 Marshal Brown cleaned the town up pretty well this year before the open season on dogs was announced. As a consequence he turned into the coffers of the town something over $500, and it is quite likely that little more will be realized as all dogs in the pond will be held reasonable length of time before being executed, and there is a possibility that some absentminded man who has neglected to pay li- cense on his dog will awake to his re- cponsibility in the matter after the dog has been caught and will then pay him out.
