suspected Of attempting to escape
and since he was first locked up
he has been quiet and abided by
the rules Of the jail. Smith took
advantage Of the darkness and
when taller Crawford went to lock
up Tor the night he crawled on top
OF the cage where he laid flat.
Crawford, thinking that all the
prisoners were in the cage locked
the door and the boy remained on

Tuesdays Sandstone The Hardes,
This Year

The hardest sand storm expert.
enced this year occupied the
greater part OF last Tuesday after
noon. The storm came in three
clouds which begin in the south
and each one lated for the space
Of thirty minutes.
The storm was followed by a
hard steady wind which lasted far
into the night. 1t was feared dur.
INK the storm that the wind was
in some way connected with a
"twister' in the vicinity but this
was not the case and no damage
has been reported.
One Oklahoma family deemed
II a good time to try their new
storm pit and after the wind had
abated they were seen TO emerge
cautiously from the ground look
ing astonished to find that Tucum-
carl was still in New Mexico.
Most OF the house wives COM
planned bitterly while the sand
lasted and said that they would
have their spring cleaning to do
all over again. They don't mind
the sand near as much as they
pretend to, however, said one
Second Street observer, tor no

There will be no election OF city

Under the present law, chapter
nine OF the Session laws OF 1905,
no election OF city officers will
occur until April 1910. Mr..
Mechem introduced a bill, bv re-
quest, continuing the term OF the
present officers until 1911, but
ascertaining that no election would
be held until 1910, the bill was not
pushed 70 passage, This is the
law and must control, no matter

cALLrNGER TO BE RETURNED
Old and Well Known Senator From
New Hampshire,

| 80 ' "SN AAO"H oOh@eOF rum
New Hampshire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. '7.-Galling-
er, Of New hampshire. is one Of the
occupants Of seat in the senate who
has no occasion to worry over the ac-
tion of the legislature OF his state.
Although he does not occupy prom
inent place in the senatorial limelight.
few senators have as much influence
on the deliberations of the upper
house of Gallinger, and his election
which is certain. is hailed with de-
light by his fellow members.
One reason why New England is
possessed of SO much Importance in
the senate is because of the wisdom
of the New England states in select
ing good men to represent them In
the first place and then keeping them
in Washington as long as they meas
ure up to the requirements of the sit
uation. In the senate prominence
comes largely through seniority and
length of service, and no matter how
able a new senator may be he must
go to the foot of the class. and the
state suffers in consequence.
Owing to his length of service and
his knowledge from long experience
of government affairs and his ability,
Senator Gallinger is a member of the
senate and one of its most influential
members. He is chairman of the
committee on district of Columbia,
which makes him practically mayor
of Washington. Mr.. Gallinger is also
member of the appropriation COM
mittee. the most coveted committee
in the senate; the committee on COM
merce. which has to deal with some
extremely important questions COM
ing before congress-; and the commit
tee on naval affairs. which frames the
naval appropriation bill.
Perhaps more important than all
he is a member OF a committee which
does not appear in the official list In
the congressional directory. II has
no name, and it is made up of some
six or eight senators. whose length
of service. knowledge Of affairs and
wisdom entitle their opinions to be
held with respect This committee is
known yariously as the steering COM
mittee. or Inner circle or the
priyy council. Before any great ques-
ton of policy or line of business Is
determined upon these half dozen
senators get together and decide what
course shall be pursued. and then the
republicans in the senate fall into
line and act accordingly. The great
hodv of senators are content TO trust
10 the wisdom of the privy council.
and in this council. Gallinger. Of New
Hampshire, is perhaps the most i'm
portant figure.
