sought it from their constitutional advis-

in the localities concerned. Otherwise
we should have had a sort OF chaos
Presidents in their successes in these
matters have been guided by good ad-

sources
And the Senate for its part has peeh

to local scrutiny, and as a rule dlsposeo

of every such man to keep the pupiic III
terests first in view in every appointment
he makes, and equally the duty OF the
Senate to pass upon his nominations IN
the same spirit.
We shall not, however. reach ideal con-

Improved Municipal Government.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal
One by one the cities are adopting the
centralized form of government known
as the commission plan. There is one
thing to be noticed about this new style
of municipal government. and that is
it seems to be succeeding. for there is
no return to the old complicated. power.
distributed plan where the commission
idea has been intelligently tried The
principle of the federal or commission
plan is right. 1t is least expensive and
this is important In more senses than
one. since it is not only relief from un-
necessary burdens. but release from sc
much corruption. for the more expensive
government is the more corrupt it is
likely To be-

Same Old Story.

Grandma in her easy chair
AS the village news she read.
Used to muse with looks of care
On the life that fashion led
I'm my younger days" said she,
"Such strange fancies could not thrive
What's the end a-going to be?
Goodness gracious sakes alive
How we laughed at grandma then.
Yet as years go rolling by
We behold our fellow men
Often with startled eye.
Naughty play and CRATER gay
In mad folly seem to thrive,
And we're tempted, too, to say,
Goodness gracious, sakes alive"

A Mystery of Crime.

Probably the full truth of the tragedy
which closed with the suicide of a clergy
man who had killed friend and fled in
terror from the consequences of his deed
will never be disclosed. The confession
left by Carmichael gives only the out
lines of the strange relationship with
Browning. terminating in the 1atter's
murder. He alleged that Browning had
hypnotized him into doing strange
things and even into agreeing TO perform
bigamous wedding ceremony. Then

 A YAQUI OUTBREAK-If it had happened in Fl Paso it would have been in the Associated Press long be- fore this and half the Mexican army would have been mobilization paper Reference is made to a little affair on East Madison street early yesterday morning. Four Yaquis happened along that way and they stopped in front of the residence of Mrs. Washington. col ored. and fired a salute of something less than twenty-one guns. A "Mistuh Jonsing." an inmate of the house awoke with the impression that he was the object of the vengeance of a southern mob. and tore out of the door and sauntered eastward pursued by the three of the Indians. It is re- gretted by all true sportsmen that no watch was held on the pursued. The Indians were some runners themselves but they were not keyed up to it like Mistuh Jonsing and they had not the same vital interest in the contest. They had no more show than if their quarry had been a jack rabbit By the time they got to the east end school house Mistuh Jonsing had disappeared beyond the eastern horizon on his way to tell his troubles to the approaching sun. In the meantime Mrs. Washing ton. who had been awakened by the fusilade. with better judgment than Mistuh Jonsing peeped out to see from what side the attack was coming. She discreetly slipped out the rear door
 and took refuge in the house of a neighbor The remaining Yaaui broke in the front door. but before that the outbreak had been made known to Constable Murphy who got on the scene while the Indian was still in the house. He called to him to come out. He did so. first throwing his gun into the Yoodbox. for he is an Indian of some sense. But he had in his pos session a pair of scissors. a locket and other articles which he had stolen. The floor was strewn with stumps of long parlor matches which he had lighted while looking for valuables. The Indian said his name was Frank Stink. He got in just in time for the grand jury.

They will place sign boards wherever it is necessa- - ry to properly direct the drivers in the race and they will also fix the road in a few of the bad places of which they have been apprised by the scouts who have recently covered the course The principal work in this line will be cutting out the high centers in the road at places where there is no opportunity for the drivers to take a course along side the regular road. These high cen ters would be apt to catch the machin- cry of the low built machines and wreck them; and in order to avoid such disaster the road is to be put in order.

In some way, probably by contact with limb, the weapon was discharged and an ugly wound was made in his hip.
