STATE CAPITOL NEWS.

The contest for the United States
Senatorial position is now on in
earnest Speer, Shafroth, Adams,
Martin, Gerald Hughes, O'Donnell.
Ward and Thomas are the candi-
didates. So far not one has an
nounced his principles.
A movement is on foot among
some who really thought Democracy
wanted to work under a primary law
to submit the senatorial question
to a primary vote. There is ample
time before the legislature will ad-
journ. The members could pledge
themselves to abide the will of the
people. Such a move would prob
ably land some Republican in the
place-hence the present assembly
is backward about submitting it.
Former Governor Thomas, attor-
ney for Secretary of State Pearce.
has filed a motion to quash the last
indictment against Pearce. He main
tains that the crime, If committed,
can only be tried before a county
and not a district court. Pearce is
charged with contracting with a
bank to repay personally for depos-
iting state funds with that bank.
Thomas also claims this is not a
crime if done by a state official.
That the statute omits the word
'state" in listing the various Off
cials who can be punished for such
an offense.
The present legislature Is con-
trolled by the machine wing Of De-
mocracy 1t has one majority in
each branch; thirty-three in the
The members frankly state that no
platform pledges will be redeemed.
The Republicans are discussing
the following as men to whom the
complimentary Senatorial vote will
be given: Frank c. Goudy, Joel F.
Vaile, James McCreary. C. w. Water
man and Isaac N. Stevens.
The Anti-Saloon League people
are maintaining that the saloon
and corporation interests Joined
and organized the house. The names
of four representatives, friends OF
the local option movement, were
submitted as possible members OF
the temperance committee and all
were refused.
The Colorado Editorial Associa-
ton held its semi-annual meeting
last Monday. A large number of
editors were present. Much inter-
est was taken and legislative COM
mittee was appointed with instruc-
tions to look after the interests OF
the papers.

PICKED PARAGRAPHS.

Those who raise false cry of
election frauds are apt to forget
that crawling out is not as easy as
breaking in.
The Alaskan coal fields should be
saved for the benefit of the people
some cold day they will be very
much appreciated.
In making an estimate as to the
strength of our national defenses
the general power of the American
flag should not be overlooked.
AS the continental population of
the United States is 91,972,266 the
attempted war scare cannot be put

fective material for volunteers.
DR.. Cook writes in his first in
stallmept that phantom faces leered
at him as he neared the pole. Faces
which are not phantoms have been
leering at him since the public con-
viction that he never neared it.
Cash Cade is to succeed Jack
Abernathy as United States Marshal
for the western district of Oklahom;
II is a sounding name, smacking
both of the present prosperous in
Oklahoma and of English history
made by men who could "catch 'em
alive or dead.
1t is not the Republican idea tn at
supreme court should be made up
from one party exclusively. The
proportion in Missouri has been
six Democrats to one Republican and
sometimes the court has been solid
ly Democratic. BY the last election
1t stands Democrats four, Republi-
cans three.

On last Saturday the State Board
of Education closed deal for two
tracts of land for farm to be run in
connection with the Negro Normal
College. The land consists of the
Miss Clara Hanley farm that runs
along the north and northwest side Of
the school ground. This farm is
coursed by the Cumberland river on
the west side, the farm on the north
and the county road on the east. 1t
contains three dwelling houses, one of
which is the residence of Miss Han
ley, who has equipped one of the
most modern poultry yards to be
found everywhere The dwelling is q
three-story frame with every modern
improvement to be thought of, and
will be a valuable asset to the school.
The other dwellings, are small cot
tages, but can be used to good advan-
tage while things are being put in
shape.
The other plot of land Of sixty-sev-
en- acres was purchased from the
First Savings Bank and Realty Com
pany. This plot fronts on Jefferson
street and Centennial avenue, and
has slope toward the east The
soil is deep and will be an ideal spot
for a truck garden, flower houses and
poultry farm. The natural lay of the
land makes it adaptable to every need
of such an institution. Mr.. Ike Smith
who conducts a small fertilizer plant
between the school grounds and the
other tract facing Jefferson says that
he is ready to sell his small plot and
get out at once. Everything is NOV

Rev. E. c. Norris, President of the

that the case was won for his clients,

remembered that quite a comment was
made upon this particular case at the
time judgment was secured. Attorney
Mayfield states that he has entered a
motion for an appeal, and it will be
argued Saturday. He says that if he
is forced to do so he will carry the
case to the Supreme Court; that since
he has won it twice he will fight it
to the bitter end, as he believes his

That the destruction o. the battle
ship Maine, in Havana harbor, on Eel :
ruary IS, 1898, killing nearly 500 m, I
and resulting in the Spanish-American
war, was due to the explosion OF the
ships three powder magazines, ii,a
cause of which will never be deter
mined, is the opinion OF General
Bixby, chief OF the United States army
engineers, who has just returned from
n personal inspection of the work OF
reclaiming the wreck. After carefully
examining every portion OF the wreck
which can now be seen. General
Bixby arrived at the conclusion
that the wreck was due to
an interior explosion. Whether
this explosion was the result OF
spontaneous cmbu on or othe
cause on the ship itself. or from tor
pedo from without, it is impossible TO
tell, he says. The wreck is in such q
condition that the primary cause will
ever remain :. mystery, he declared.
