IMPORTANT MEETING is CALLED
Association Wishes Citi-
zens TO Discuss Normal Question

The Viroqua Advancement association
which met Friday night adjourned the
meeting until tomorrow Thursday
night, when they will again meet at
the city hall At this time will come
up the important question of providing
a suitable site for the Vernon county
training school. 1t is well known that
the county must build a home for this
excellent educational Institution, as the
city school board cannot accommodate
the normal students much longer.
Viroqua is the logical and geographi-
cal location for the training school, but
owing to the fact that Westby and
Viola are making inducements to the
county training school board, Viroqua
people must be up and doing if we are
to retain the normal here. Let every
interested cititizen meet with the Ad-
vancement association tomorrow night
and discuss the subject. Meeting az
O'Clock.

ding bright and pleasant light
on the candidacy Of Delegate
w. II. Andrews for the Repub-
lican nominee to congress.
There are other candidates
talked of in the Republican party
but they certainly cannot be
Justly mentioned in the same
breath. Delegate Andrews has
proved himself to be a very
strong and influential member OF
congress and has certainly shown
his capacity, his energy, his in
fluence and his general useful
ness during the 59th and Goth
congresses. Even his worst
enemies, like the Albuquerque
Morning Journal, like eX-Govern-
or Hagerman and his ex-ohice
holders cannot justly assail him
as a man, as a citizen and as a
member of congress, We do not
care to discuss the merits or
dement's of the other aspirants
for the position. AS we have
said above, they cannot be COM
pared with the delegates achieve
ments, his knowledge Of af-
fairs, his influence, his high
standing with the national ad-
ministration and with many in
huential senators and represen-
tatives. There is no New Next
can who could be elected to the
61st congress who could possibly
exercise one-twentieth Of the in
huence which Delegate An
drews has heretofore shown and
which will increase if he is sent
back. His record we need not
dilate upon at this time. 1t is
as well known to New Mexico
citizens as are the bright sunshine
and the magnificent blue skies of
our territory. To the Republi-
cans who oppose him, we believe
we are right in saying that they
are making grave and serious
mistake. On the other side we
are glad to notice that there are
many Democrats, who, if he is
nominated, will help him by vote
and work. The loyal and pa
triotic citizens of New Mexico
want statehood, want Andrews,
desire his nomination and viii
cast their ballots for him or
election day. Statehood is a para
mount issue of this campaign

their gratitude for the splendid
service rendered the territory.

The Democratic press Of the
territory are fighting Andrews
for all they are worth and then
some. They realize that if he
is the Republican nominee he
wont leave a greasy spot of Lar
razolo. They also realize that
either Spiess or Mann can clean
up the Mexican but not to the
extent that Andrews can.

BOYS IN FATAL FIGHT

 Tailadega. Nov. --(Spsciai.)-rh A. B. and A. depot at Ashland late Wednesday night. . l7-year old boy shot and killed VIII MacKay. . youth less than 21. Knight received a stat in the abdomen, which may prove Ia tai.
 It Is not known whether Mackay stabbed Knight before or afte0 he wac shot.
 The details of the killing are a mys- tery. A crowd of young fellows were at the station, drinking, joking and having a good time, while waiting for late train.
 Knight and Mackay. who were previ- ously reputed good friends. became in- volved in difticulty with fatal re- suits.
 Those who were in company with the youths express ignortanee of what was the real cause of the tragedy. and show unwillingness to talk.
 Both the participants in the tragedy belong to weil.known families in Clay County.
 There is peculiar coincidence in connection with the affair. as young Knight had brother who was killed in similar tragedy in Talladega two years ago.
 Henry Knight and Dudley Brown met in crowded skating rink h Tal- ladega one night, and, without any warning, and the cause of which was unknown, fought q duel with pistols. in which both participants lost their lives.

THIRTY THOUSAND
 HONOR DEAD PRIEST

Shenandoah. Pa., Nov: 27-A re, markahle tribute to priest was paId today at the funeral of the Rev. A. F. OReiily, rector of the Roman Catho- lc Church of the Annunciation here lnr forty years.
 Twenty-fi five eollieries employing I6,o 900 men and boys in the Shenan- loah and Mahoney valley were shut down to enable the workers to pay their respects to the dead priest.
 The public schools at Mahony City and other surrounding communities were closed and all business In shen- andoah was suspended. Over S0'OOO people paid tribute to his memory
 More than two hundred priests att tended the funeral service. Bishop Prendergast, of Philadelphia. eele- brated the solemn requiem mass.
 Following the services the body was taken to Philadelphia, accompanied by 1900 mourners on a special train and will be inferred in Holy Cross Ceme- tery on the outskirts of that city.
 During the Molly McGuire crusade and in numerous coal strikes Father o'Reilly wielded a great Influence in behalf of peace and law and order.
