A Full Bunch.

A jolly bunch of the friends and
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Hide
gathered at their residence last Monday
evening, unlimited, of course, as there
had been surprise planned by Mes
DANES Straub and Savold, and the plan
worked OK. Mrs. Hide had been
called over to Mrs. Straub's a short
time before the hour for the guests to
assemble, and when every thing was in
readiness message was sent to Mrs.
Straub and she at once brought Mrs.
Hide home. Surprised? Yes, COM
pletely dumfounded was she when the
lights were turned on and she made the
discovery that her house was full of
people. All had nice sociable time for
"a couple of hours, and then Mr.. and
Mrs. Hide were made the recipients of
set of silver knives and forks, and
after the presentation, Of course, those
new tools had to be tried to see if they
would work satisfactorily. Well, did
they? l should say they did. You just
ought to have seen them. That was a
splendid lunch that was served and
every one seemed to enjoy that part Of
the program, and it seemed as though
everybody had saved up their capacity
for the occasion. Mrs. Coulter got full
Oh, pshaw! We did not intend to be
personal at all We think Fred Bah
cock got full too! Well, by gosh, there
it goes again! Well, to tell the truth
we all got pretty full, and if anybody
was any fuller than any other body il
was Frank Fuller. However, there
was no one so full but what they coule
carry it fairly well. Mr.. Hide though
twas very kind of his nelghbors tt
come in and feed him in the middle o
the night and he hoped that they woult
keep it up for some time to come.

night and burn until midnight when
seventy would be turned off leaving one
on each post and one in the Fire Hall
and one over the watering trough burn
ing all night. The residence districts
would be lit with thirty-three 60 watt
lamps, one on corner suspended be-
tween 25;foot posts and these lamps
would be lighted every. night in the
year from six o'clock p. m. until mid
night.
Bear in mind that this proposed
schedule is figured for three hundred
and sixty-five nights in a year burning
twenty lights all night and one hundred
and three lights from six O'Clock p. m.
until midnight.
If the Moonlight Schedule is
adopted by the city for electric lighting
it would increase the amount of resi-
dence lighting materially.

Instead of being trashy play like
most musical comedy plays without any
plot, it is a clean, refined play with a
very interesting plot. There are
eighteen up-to-date musical numbers,
sung with the assistance of twelve
pretty chorus girls who appear in diff

a nice display of wardrobe. The elec-

NAVARRO FAILS
 ID REACH JUAREZ
RECEPTION PLANNED FOR THE FEDERAL GENERAL BY THE JEFF POLITICO IS POSTPONED TO SOME OTHER DAY

Fl Paso Texas February 12.-Jefe Pol itico Matrinez's public reception to Gen. eral Navarro, set for today, has been postponed indefinitely, as General Navarro did not arrive. An insurrecto courier defi- nitely located the federal leader at lake. few miles southwest of Ahumada, a station on the Mexican Central about 50 miles south.
 The insurrecto forces are scattered be- tween Ahumada and JuareZ, wherever they can find pasture and water The country for 100 miles south of here is practically deserted
 Manuel Casillas. probably the best ed- ucated of the rebel leaders, and who has been in Fl Paso at council of war for three days, was captured by American soldiers at Ysleta today. Casillas was trying to get across the river to join his command He carried rifle in vio- lation of the neutrality laws and was taken into custody.
 Navarro. fearing mines under the tracks or bridges Is said to be proceeding at a snails pace. The track is inspected ahead of the train which, together with the re pairs he Is compelled to make, renders his advance a tedious one.
 A letter received by the local junta to- day from a sympathizer at Shafter. Tex. purported to show that the federals had not forsaken the practice of executing the defenseless.
 The letter states that one Tom Perrien, a river guard, saw the recent fight lt Mulato and that four very old men were taken out and shot, although unarmed and almost helpless
 '.One of them.% says the letter, was partly blind and paralyzed and was 10 years old; another was 80 years old.' " The insurrecto board of strategy held & meeting at Saragosa on the Mexican side 12 miles east of here today. Their plans were not divulged. Newspaper men penetrated the desert 30 miles south of Juarez today without catching sight of troops of either side.

Arch Hoxsey. who recently was killed by a fall from his machine, held the previous record of 250 feet.

DEMOCRATS WILL
 HOLD MEETING
MEMBERS OF NEW WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE WILL DIS- CUSS WORK THAT IS BEFORE THEM IN CONGRESS

Washington, February 12.-(Special)- The democratic members of the new ways and means committee will hold a meeting tomorrow morning. It is called for no particular purpose and the mem bers will simply informally discuss the work before them and the personnel of the rules committee which will be an- nounced by March f. Another matter which may come up is the question of patronage in the next House. A good many members believe the present re- publican House is loaded down with a lot of useless offices created solely for the purpose of taking care of political henchmen, and it., Is contended that a good place to commence economy Is in the House itself A subcommittee may be designated to look into the matter and report how many men in the House roll are actually working.
 The subject naturally has it's difficulties as several thousand democrats have al- ready made application ana are expecting their member to put them in. On an average there is not one desirable place to two members. The chairmen of com mittees only have three places-a private secretary, which pays $500; stenog- rapher at $1200, and a messenger at $500.
 No matter how masterly the argument of Senator Root on the constitutionality Of the election of senators by direct vote, no matter with what force and convic- ton he pleaded for the "inviolability of the constitution" the fact remains that the New York senator and the opponents of the proposition giving the people the right to elect their senators are not meet ing the issue fairly but through their ad- vocacy of the amendment giving the ad- ministration the right to supervise cleo tion are resorting to parliamentary subterfuge which forces the most sincere supporters of the constitutional amend ment--the southern sepators--to vote against it. ts F

It is understood to- morrow they will withdraw their oppo- sition. and it was whispered about the capital yesterday that they had been led to do so upon intimations that even if the Sulioway bill is passed 1t will be vetoed bv President Taft. So far as could be learned no senator had authority to make such statement as to the intentions oi the President but nevertheless that he would do so was generally accepted as fact.
 Committees in charge of appropriation bills have been plodding along, and though the congestion has not been re- lieved to any extent there is little talk now that any of these measures are In danger.

Wanted a Raise When Baby Came.

Boston, July 28.-The Rev. Paul
Harris Drake, who sprang into fame
when he declared that preachers
should have a raise of salary from
their congregations every time a new
baby arrived in the minister's fam
lily, is leaving his fashionable con-
gregation in the rich town OF Bever-
ly all because he did not get n a
raise when a second baby appeared at
the home a week ago.
The high cost of living has proved
too much for the fellow townsman OF
Mr.. Taft. and he admits it. The Rev
Mr.. Drake has been drawing $1,000 a
year, or about SO a week, from his
congregation.
