New Military Instructor.
"The military maneuvers and drills
were one Of the most pleasing features
Of the big exposition which was filed

secured by the New Mexico Military
Institute in the competitive military
maneuvers and evolutions reflects
great credit on Colonel Wilson, Cap,

there, and the officers and faculty. The

TOWN CLERKS OFFICE
Attorneys Want IL Open Between
 Hours of 12 and 1.

The question with the lawyers of the city is whether they shall spend the. $50,O00 appropriation for an ad- dition to the court house in building alone and let the county commission CTS furnish it, or shall spend the money in building and furnishing. This matter was discussed at meet ing of the bar this forenoon in the dis trict room. The last legislature pro- vided an appropriation of S5o,oN for additional accommodations in the court house while the law provides that the county commissioners may furnish. the building The lawyers did not wish to be porkers in the matter, nor did they wish to do anything but the proper thing. To build and furnish with the $50,0O0 would mean of course d smaller addition than to spend the money in building alone. It is a sure thing, said President O'Neill, that in Il few years it will be necessary to build again unless a proper and sui ficient addition is put on now. The appropriation would do little more than pay for opening an elevator shaft, put in the car and add more more room to the library and furnish the same, where as if the money was expended alone in building quite an addition could be put on and there would be ample accommodations for years o come. Now which or what was the bar to do.
 Any provisions for the clerk of the district court" asked Judge f. NJ. Peasley. By the lord Harry we never thought of him." said MT ONeill, and there's another thing :, he went on, "the probate court. l guess we'd better throw the probate court out of the building altogether, stow it away somewhere in ire proof structure with the town clerk S office for they ought to be together without any question, and the records of both are too valuable to be placed under any risk,so l think we'd better throw the probate court out bag and baggage. The town Or the city ought to take care of the probate court and the town clerks records. The com mittee on the matter had reported ln favor of spending the appropriation in building alone and that report was accepted. E.
