SELLING GOODS TO THE CITY.

In speaking of bill for lumber
and cement ordered by the city coun-
Gil from the Lancaster Lumber Co.,
Cor city work and paid for by the city.
the Teller last week took the position
that such action was illegal because
Alderman Eastman is member Of
the lumber company.
This is subject which comes up in
nearly all cities and villages from
time to time, and the law is capable
of various interpretations. There are
chose who contend that member of
the council is legally prohibited from
making any sales of any character to
the city, while others pooh pooh such
an idea.
The Wisconsin statutes provide that
NO city officer shall be interested
directly or Indirectly IN any import
ant contract to which the city is
party. Nor be accepted as surety
on any bond, contract or other obliga-
dion made to the city. and it is right
that such should be the law, because
there are instances where such an
officer might unawfully profit from a
contract obtained through favoritism
or influence because of being
a member Of such municipal
oody, but it seems a little far fetched
% think the intent of the law was to
prohibit the city from making any
ordinary purchase from dealer which
it might make were he not member
of such body. There are many in
stances in which such an Interpretation
of the law would lead to much incon-
Eenience and delay.
For instance, if there were only one
dealer in lumber and cement in city,
such an Interpretation would compel
the city to buy its goods in another
city and ship them in with consequent
delay and increased cost, by reason of
TRANSPORTATION charges. The same
idea would apply to dealers in any
line Of business. Ia most cities and
villages the official proceedings of
the municipal bodies are published in
one or more papers, for the informa-
tiou OF the public, and paid for. In
Lancaster they are printed free, be-
cause the publishers are rich and bene
70 emit men and do not need the money.
Tt. is also required by law that ordi-
nances, notices of elections, etc be
published in newspapers and paid for
at a rate fixed by law There are
many villages which have only one
newspaper, and the editors of such
papers are frequently members of the
common council The Teller's inter
pertation of the law would prohibit
such papers from publishing such pro-
ceedings and legal notices. What
~Uruid be the legal action in such
cases5 49,. --.~s -
We apprehend that reason and com
mon sense are expected to be employed
in the application of the law ana its
Interpretation.

The Hannlest Children.

The happiest children are those who
have happy mothers. The young life
which ows up in the shadow Of a dis

and stunted Even when things are
rocked and temptations to be harsh
come, let the mother, for her sons

SIDELIGHTS ON POLITICS

1t is understood that Col. Brumder,
of Milwaukee, will decline to be-
come a candidate for the republican
nomination for lieutenant governor, a
position he might have for the asking,
but Milwaukee has others who would
not refuse. James F. Trottman a
Milwaukee lawyer and Member of the
University board of regents, is willin'.
He is a German American. Ayl-
ward seems to have as clear field for
democratic nomination for governor of
Wisconsin as Davidson does on the re-
publican ticket and they are likely
to be the opposing candidates in this
years campaign. Byron Barwig,
who will represent Wisconsin on the
committee to convey the news to Mr..
Bryan that he has been nominated for
president, had an incipient boomlet
started for himself as a candidate
for governor, while at Denver, but it
seems to have got lost in the shuttle.
On the first Monday in October the
Wisconsin Association of sheriffs is
to be organized in Madison and one
of the important features of the first
meeting will be the inauguration of a
movement to secure an amendment to
the constitution which will limit a
sheriff's term of Office to four years in
stead of two as it is present. Most
of the states provide that a sheriff
may be elected for two terms of two
years each and Wisconsin officials
claim that two years is too short a
time in which to make a good record

AlamogordO, N. NJ, March 49,
Frank Brown, alias Frank Berlin, who
killed J. S. Van Sickle at Orogrande in
January, pleaded guilty to murder in
the second degree in the district
court here yesterday afternoon. He
has not been sentenced yet, the judge

room which had been assigned to
Brown by mistake and which had been
regularly occupied by Van Sickle for
some time. Brown had gone to bed
on the evening of the 26th, when Van
Sickle came in. A quarrel followed
that evening and the next evening Van
Sickle got the room first. Brown
came to the door, it is alleged, as Van
Sickle was untying his shoes, and, see
ing the latter in the room, drew his
revolver and fired two shots, both hit
ting Van Sickle. Brown then fed and
was captured near Alamogordo two
days later Van Sickle died instantly.

RIO ARRIBA CASE
NOW BEFORE COURT
Benito S. Martinez Being Tried for
Assault With Intent to kill-At-
kinson Defaults Bond.

Territorial district court for Santa
Fe county reconvened today, Judge
John r. McFie presiding.
A formal verdict of guilty was en-
tered this afternoon in the case of
the Territory VS.. Joseph Digneo and
the defendant was fined $40. Attorney
A. B. Renehan as counsel for the de-
fendant interposed demurrer to the
information charging the defendant
with selling liquors to minors which
was overruled by the court. Motions
in arrest of judgment and for a new
trial being formally oyerruled an ap.
peal was taken to the supreme court
Of the territory.
A record was accordingly made up
presenting simply question Of law.
The law under which the defendant
was indicted Is Section 1885 of the
Compiled Laws of 1897 which pre-
scribes a penalty for selling liquor to
minors. In 1901 another law was en-.
acted prescribing a penalty for sell
ing liquor to minors under iS years,
and II is a question whether the lat
est statute repeals all former laws or
If the statute in the Compiled Laws
IS still in force as to minors between
the ages Of Is and o. The defendant
is charged with selling liquor to a
boy 10 years old. The court holds
that Section 1886 of the Compiled
Laws is still operative.
The case of the Territory VS.. Benito
S. Martinez was taken up this after
noon on a change of venue from Rio
Arriba county. Martinez is under in.
dictment for an alleged assault with
intent to kill. He Is charged with hav-
ing committed an assault with club
on one TeOdosio Aranda.
The cases of the Territory VS.. W.
w. Atkinson, who is under indictment
for murder, were called yesterday for
trial The defendant failed to make his
appearance in court and his bond
was ordered forfeited. He Is out on
$4,000 bail.
