ton. The former were given sur
prise when petition from local wills
key dealers containing - signature
was presented with the intention OF
reducing the original petition filed
by the anu-saloon people several
weeks ago, disappointment was evr
deut when County Judge Il. T Light
fcat said that he would be forced to
continue the question until Wednes
day morning ar o'clock in order to
investigate the legality Of voters who
had signed the antisaloon petition
and who were attempting to with,
draw their names.
The Whiskey element was represent
ed by Attorneys Wheeler Hughes &
berry and there was filed petition
asking that some names be withdrawn
from the anti saloon petition. The po-
tent question before the court was
whether the signatures Of the autj-sa
loon petition could be Withdrawn and
a conflict resulted between the two
factions
When the original local option pc.
titiou was filed 1t contained I252
names. but later on developments
were brought TO light that 80 OF this
number were not qualified to vote. as
they had failed to register in the No

found 10 be 20 duplicate names For
a local option election ta be held tho
law requires that one-fourth OF thu
voters casting ballots in the regular
election should have their signatures

Social Rivalry.

| Washington society, says a Wash
ington dispatch. is enjoying an anus
ing little rivalry between two daugh-
ters Of prominent western statesmen
who are at the head of their respec-
tive fathers households The rivals in
this pretty duel Of feminine wits and
charms are Miss Helen Cannon.
daughter of the speaker of the house,
and Miss Lena Hemenway. daughter
OF the senator from Indiana.
Miss Cannon is an experienced
Washington hostess. She has held
the reins over Uncle Joe's social af-
fairs for several years and is admitted
enc Of the most tactful and charming
hostesses in al Washington
It IS her boast that she has never
mixed the wrong clements in her So
cial affairs and his Is saying great
deal in Washington. where ciiques
are as numerous as there are inter.
ests and where the social secretaries
Of the big men are kept in constant
hot water
Miss Hemenway who IS 4 mere
slip of girl i'st out of school and
lacking in the experience of her elder
rival, makes up for what she lacks in
experience by her delightful youth, !
eXuberance. beauty and personal /
charm. She nresiGes at her fathers
table with q charming seriousness
and dignity, receives her guests with /
a.. gentle modesty that endears her TO |
all. If she makes mistakes. and her
friends deny the she atones fer
them by the sweetness of her regret /
and the spontaneity a her bushes.
Behind this social rivalry there is
. still deeper purpose than the mere
achievement of society success. |
Miss Cannon aepes to preside in tn
White House when her father wins
the race for the presidency, which |
she is confident he viii achieve.

Mr.. r. w. Tansill, Carlsbad. y. NJ.
Dear Sfr:-Since writing M the
and a later story in the Roswell Daily
Record about the hog following you
like g dog on the streets of Carlsbad,
7 am looked upon as a nature faker
and muck-rake journalist, and it
leaves you in the unhappy position
of being suspected of being imposed
upon or made a butt for the ridicule
Of a pipe-dream newspaper writer.
To sustain my reputation for truth
and ~veracity and to remove this IN
due suspicion in regard to yourself,
you must bring the hog % Roswell
and give an exhibition of wild hog
tanning on Main street and let the
hog follow o. as he did in Carls-
bad.
If it is impossible for you to come
to Roswell it might serve TO set
things right if o will make afHda-
Wit to your success as a wild animal
tanner. and permit the publication of
the same.
Of course. such a drastic measure
IS not necessary in Carlsbad where
the facts are known. Yours truly.

REMARKABLE BAT
CAVE NEAR CARLSBAD


H. Arundel Bell, OF Liverpool. who
recently secured an option on the bat
guano cave lei Carlsbad, paving
$4,000 therefor, returned this wee
from Monterey. Mexico, where ne
went on a business trip. In the deal
he represented New York and London
capitalists, N during his "trip : q
Mexico d. H. Benson, an analytical
chemist of Jacksonville, Fla, came
to Carlsbad and explored the cave
and analysed the guano, pronou7cing
1t OF the highest quality. He went to
New York from Carlsbad In answer
10 a wire to make his report person
ally. 1t was quietly rumored at Carls-
bad that after Mr.. Benson made his
report the former owner of the eave
would be glad to have the prospective
purchasers back down.
This wonderful cave has been ex-
plored for a distance of seven miles,
and many claim that it is likely a
hundred miles long. The roof in many
places is n hundred feet high, and
after the bat guano deposit is passed
in the front end the air is pure and
bracing, and there are springs of
pure crystal water.
The cave is about % miles south
vest Of Carlsbad, and has been visit
ID by comparatively few people. There
are tens of thousands of IONS of qua
no, deposited by an incomprehensible
number of bats for thousands of
a n the cave is still inhabited
by bats. r. T.McC.
