Health Officer Contest Is

WILSON AND LOEHR
ALSO IN A SCRAP
In the Other Offices Little
Competition Is Made
By Candidates.

Much interest is being taken in the
primary elections today, although
there was little activity apparent on
the surface prior to the closing OF
registration books Saturday evening
With more than 100 voters regis
tered, and real strife stirred up in
several instances, the election Of
fcials have every indication of be-
| ing busy men, and the total vote cast
will undoubtedly be a surprise.
Friends Of a number of the candi-
! dates are working actively in the in
| terests of their friends, and where a
week ago there seemed to be nothing
but harmony and good feeling. now
partisan lines are rigidly drawn ana
| campaigners are busily at work, al
! though politics are taken into con-
lsideration less, and individuality more,
than in previous primaries.
| One Of the leading contests today
| is that of City Health officer ]. Ellery
Fales, against whom the members of
the medical association are allied, the
d.ssension having grown out of al
legged "upprofessional' conduct on
the part of Dr. Fales. Every avail
able voter will be taken to the polls
by enemies of DR.. Fales, who have
during the past two days broken into
print with charges, to which Dr.
Fales preferred counter charges. The
fight is being watched with interest,
though it is this afternoon thought
DR.. Fales will win the nomiDation
over DR.. E. E. Shaw.
Another fight that broke out with
violence today is that of J. B. Wilson
against L. w. Loehr for the nomina-
ton CT city engineer on the republi-
can ticket Friends of both gentle
men are working industriously, and
friends of Mr. Wilson went so far as
to place large banners on their We
hicIes, bearing the words, Vote for
III. B. Wilson for city engineer. 1t
is impossible to make any predic-
tions as to the result of this fight,
as the vote up to noon was compar-
atively light. 1t is readily admitted
iby Loehrs friends, however, that he
will have a hard race for the nom
ination.
But little mas been said regarding
the contest for councilmen, and the
city clerk, chief of police, city treas
urer. city sexton and city attorney
have no opposition in the primaries
Following is the ticket in the field
for today's primaries:
Mayor-Eugene Tausick, democrat.
CITY clerk-T. D. S. Hart, republi-
can.
CITY treasurer-R. G. Parks, repub-
lican.

EIectrifyine an Elephant.

A very curious accident occurred
in Mysore, India, recently. \ palace
elephant mahout, seated on huge
tusker, happened to pass under the
main line wires conveying current
from the power station. Thinking
he would test the truth of any one
being killed if the wire touched, he
was foolish enough to place his
hand on the wire. The effect was
disastrous. Both mahout and ele-
phant were knocked down instantly
and lay insensible. The elephant
after a short while got up and rush
ed about in a dazed manner, wreck
ing carriages, posts, etc, in its mad
career. After a most exciting chase
the semi-electrocuted elephant was
captured by means of two other ele-
phants.-,Iadras Mail.

MEXICO CITY.
The Romantic Story Of Its Founding
by the Axtecs.

The story of the founding of the
City of Mexico is one of the most ex-
traordinary tales in history. 1t hap
pened in 1895; at least it began a
long time before that, but was an
accomplished fact about 600 year,
ago.
In the first place, imagine an al
most inaccessible mountain crowned
with a valley at the height of 5000
feet above the level of the sea. In
the center Of this valley was an i'm
mense lake. When the Aztecs ar
rived, led by the priests of the god
Of war. they found it in the posses
sion Of hostile tribes.
For that reason and because the
priests declared that in a certain
part of the lake where there stood
an elevation of stones an eagle had
been devouring a serpent they began
the construction of the city on this
spot, Immediately over the deepest
waters Of the lake. There had long
existed a prophecy among the AZ
tees that their wanderings would
end when they should have reached
place where the priests would be-
hold an eagle resting on cactus
plant devouring a serpent.
Confident that they had found
the spot ordained to be their abiding
home, they began to construct RATS
of the trunks of trees, covering
them with thick layers of earth, up
on which they built rude huts Of
more or less solidity. Groups of
dwellings soon began to form them
selves in regular order, thus deter
mining the primitive streets of the
new city.
They also constructed boats and
oars of different sizes useful in
peace and war, and while certain of
their number occupied themselves
in defending their homes and breth-
rem from the onslaughts of hostile
tribes others continued to improve
and enlarge the city. Gradually the
lake was filed up, and terraces arose
one after another in the place once
occupied by the deep waters.
This was in itself a herculean
labor, unsurpassed in ingenuity and
durability by any similar work Of
ancient or modern times. { pom the
first of these terraces was construct
ed the Teocali, or sacrifcial tenn
pie. 1t was begun in 1916 and not
completed until 1925, a little over
100 years, from which time may be
dated the official foundation of Te-
nochtitlan, today the modern City Of
Mexico.-Exchange.
