We demand, and if entrusted with
the power, we pledge ourselves to a
strict enforcement of the election
laws by the Courts and prosecuting
officers.
We are heartily in favor of the
nomination of all party candidates by
a direct vote of the people at primary
elections held for that purpose under
the sanction of the :aw and hereby
pledge our representatives in the next
legislature to work and vote for such
a law.
We believe that all county officers
should be paid fixed salaries, instead
of fees Or commissions, for all ser
vices required Of them by the Govern
ment.
We condemn n poncy OF the Fed
era1 Government in prohibiting the
free grazing OF livestock in the forest
reserves of the Territory, as unwar-
ranted and arbitrary; such policy
tends to injure and destroy the inter
ests of many small livestock r~aisers
and may create a monopoly of that
industry by the very few wealthy own
ers of sheep and cattle. The conser-
walton of our timber in such reserves
and the wise regulation of its use in
order t. prevent it's waste and des-
truction, is a c~ommendable economic
measure, but the free use of the
lands in such reserves for the grazing
tons does not in an manner interfere

CENTER OF INTEREST IN
EASTERN WOOL MARKETS.

Regarding the present wool Sltua-
ton Bradstreet's Review says:
With the practical cleaning up OF
h new clip in the West, the center
of interest in the wool market has
again been transferred to the East,
though there has not yet een enough
business doing to greatly encourage
dealers. Buyers as a rule are still
waiting for the outcome of the spring
openings, m though h outlook is
satisfactory, they are not yet ready
to operate heavily. At the same time
dealers are not disposed to press
sales, as they have sold as far ahead
in many cases as they consider advis-
able, and prefer to wait until the
new woods arrive and are opened be-
fore selling more of the staple grades.
The new clip has been bought fairly
well and stands the trade at a figure
that bids fair to allow a reasonable
margin for profit. 1t only needs a
good start in the goods trade to make
an active market fo- wool at prices
that will be satisfactory to holders.
Worsted woods continue to be in de-
mand, b sales for the week being
largely of that nature. A lot of Ohio
half blood has sold at 26 1-2 cents,
and there have been good-sfzed lots
OF fine washed delaine at "a and "a
IL cents. Some holders are asking
35 cents, but buyers are unwilling to
pay the higher price as yet. Quarter
bloods are quotable at rs cents, but
some holders are taking 26 cents and
eve 81 cents, though the market has
yet actually got above 25 cents,
except perhaps In the asking. Fine
fleece woods are quiet but steady.
Territory woods are quiet, as they are
yet opened and ready for sale. A
lot of Montana wool Is reported sold
in the original bags at 20 cents, cost |
about rs cents clean. There have |
also been some moderate sales OF
territories, especially OF
woods suitable for the French combs.
Recent sales in Montana have been
at II IL and 10 cents. much higher
prices having been paid, in fact, thar
was considered possible at the begin
ming OF the eason Foreign woods

name OF New Mexico. It is a proven
a1d established fact and 1t is not even
required that the voters should go to
the polls in that county, but the
officers of the Election Board cast
the ballots for all the absentees, while
in some instances the registration
lists are copied into the po1l-books in

We recognize that under an act of

gross injustice is done through dis

rates and determinations and where
injustice is being done any citizen or
community, present such grievances
to the Interstate Commerce Commits

so to be created should be composed
of persons identified with the princi-

raced with Coke Hills dog team from

and return, a distance of ten miles.
The trail was in good shape and time
was made by both horse and dogs. The
mare slipped while running on a little
hillside and lost some ground.
Within three weeks another race will
be run as a consequence of dissatisfac-
ton at the result. and enough money
was in sight today to make the side

mounted police yesterday morning,
while he was en- route to Salt Lake.
Although stripped of his Identification
papers his fugitive warrant and $175,
Sergeant Jones himself laughed at the
ludicrous side of the otherwise serious
matter.
That portion of the mounted police
with headquarters at Regina, Canada,
has been engaged for some years in
breaking up a desperate band of horse
and cattle thieves. Sergeant Jones
came on direct to Salt Lake City, ar
irving here yesterday morning. Upon
reaching his hotel he discovered that
his valise had been tampered with and
a wallet containing his Identification
papers, warrants and about $175 in cur
rency, had been stolen. From various
suspicious incidents during the trip,
which are now recalled, Sergeant Jones
is convinced that the theft of his pa
pers and money was the work of mem
bers or friends of the gang which he IS

"I believe that the agricultural,
horticultural, stock growing and
mining interests of the state want il, -

union has a state fair. and but few of
them can so well afford it. or have a
better one than can Kansas. Of

CITY RAILROAD WINS.
Gets Verdict in Damage Suit-AnOther
Is Filed.

By order of the court a jury in dis
trict court today lost no time in de-
livering a verdict for the defendant.
In this case, the Topeka Railway COM
pany was defendant, and Charlotte M
Ramquist was plaintiff. Mrs. Ram
quist sued the railway company for
$1,000 damages for an injury received
| last December. Mrs. Ramquist was
riding on a Vinewood car, and intend
ed to get off at Fifteenth street. She
had risen from her seat, but the car
| failed to stop. She alleges that a sud-
| den jerk of the car injured her spine,
causing permanent injury.
The Topeka Railway company, rep
resented by T. F. Doran. attorney, ap-
peared in court prepared to fight the
introduced in the case, was a platform,
built exactly like street car front
end" equipped with the controller box
of the car upon which Mrs. Ramquist
rode at the time of the alleged injury.
With this mechanism they proved to
the court and jury that it was impos-
sible to thrown on the full current, as
alleged in the complaint and cause
! the jolt. The defense showed, by the
mechanism, that it took eight seconds
five jerks at one lever-to produce the
full current of electricity.
The case was opened last Friday,
and the evidence heard. On Saturday
the attorneys for both sides consumed
three hours in arguing a motion to in
struct the jury for the defendant.
When court opened this morning,
Judge Dana announced that he had
found the argument of the defense in
the motion to instruct to be logical and
according to law, and so instructed.
The jury hastily found as instructed.
Just at the moment when the jury
found in favor of the street railway
company, Stella B. Marple, widow of
NJ S. Marble, the carpenter who was
# a - 1xT LII hrr c-fr IN
North Topeka on the morning of Sep
tember IL, appeared in the cIerks's
Office, by her attorney, E. D. Nc
keever, and filed suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the street railway COM
pany. In her petition, the widow sets
forth that her late husband was for
long time motorman employed by
the defendant company. and was
time schedules of the defendants cars;
that he knew the defendants cars
were scheduled to meet several blocks
north of Gordon street, where he was
killed, and therefore made no effort
to avoid the returninp car, which was
running off time. 1t is also alleged
that the motorman failed to ring his
gong, because the mechanism of the
the car in question was violating city
ordinance by running at speed in
excess of IL miles per hour
NJ. s., better known as Stanley Mar
pie, was killed while crossing Kansas
avenue on the morning of September
10. MARBLE was a carpenter, in good
health. and the only support of his
family. He made good wages and was
a steady worker. At the inquest, the
motorman in. charge of the car which
killed Marple, swore that he had
sounded his gong. Two bystanders,
who saw the accident, swore that the
motorman had not sounded his gong.
The defense in the inquest account
ed for this by a statement by Mr. Pat
ten, superintendent of the company,
who said that a motorman, in attempt
ing to stop car under emergency cir
