Associated Press Report
santa Fe, n. NJ, March 49,
The first skirmish In the contest
in the first New Mexico legisla-
ture for the United States sena-
torship resulted tonight In a vic
tory for w. N. Andrews and the
. field as against the adherents of
A. b. Fan and T. -. Catron.
The house, at an evening ses-
sion, refused to concur in the
rules adopted by the senate to
govern the joint balloting on SEN
atorships and appointed confer
ence committee.
The point OF difference was the
provision that the senatorships
. should be voted upon at the same
time, a proposition that is being
fought by Andrews supporters.

WRONGLY Labeled.


The author of 1.-TWO Years In the
Forbidden City," the Princess Der
Ling, was a lady in waiting at the
court of the famous empress dowager
of China. Her majesty. the princess
tells us, had an excellent estimate Of
herself II have often thought" she
once confessed. that l am the most
clever woman that ever lived and
that others cannot compare with me"
Notwithstanding this favorable opin
ion. there were interesting lapses in
universal knowledge. as when Miss
Carl painted her portrait. and her ma
jesty noticed the artists signature in
the corner of the canvas.
"Well. l know foreigners do some
funny things" she remarked, ''but
think this is about the funniest I ever
heard of. Fancy putting her name on
my picture. This will naturally con-
vey the impression that it is a portrait
of Miss Carl and not portrait Of my
self at ALL
Even after the princess-who was of
western education-had explained, and
the empress had consented to allow
the signature to remain, she was any
thing but satisfied.

should maintain organizations, to the
end that in future campaigns good and
competent men may be elected to the
various county Offices. The Republican
party is the dominant party in this
county, though there is split on ques-
tons of national issue, and will continue
to be such in the future. The election
of the Republican county ticket is essen
tial to the continued maintenance of an
organization for future usefulness in
the county, and no party can be sue
cessfully maintained when individuals
on it's ticket are slaughtered at the
elections. The beginning of internal
strife in the party in the first election
to be held in the new county means it's
disruption in future elections, and those
who have the welfare of the party in
the future at heart will consider care
fully before deciding to scratch their
ticket.
Progressive Republicans, who desire
to vote for the Roosevelt electors, will
find their ticket in sixth place on the
ballot. They should not forget to turn
back to the first ticket on the ballot,
and vote for the Republican candidates
whom they helped to nominate at the
September primaries.

Rest Room for Lady Voters

The Newport County Seat Committee
has arranged to have the sample room
in the Hotel Martin, across the street
from the Town Hall, as rest room for
lady voters on election day. Instruc-
ton as to the correct manner of cast
ing ballot will also be given there and
any lady in doubt as to the correct way
of voting can secure information there.
Earl K. Parks, candidate for county
clerk, is one of the appointed officers,
who, at the organization Of the county,
was called upon to grapple with the
question of conducting his Office, and
has familiarized himself with all its
details. The experience he has gained
in this manner is Of value to the coun-
ty, and he should be granted reelection

Newport Boy Wounded in Battle

George Talmadge, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. F. Talmadge, of Newport, who
is in the United States naval service as
wireless operator aboard the cruiser
California, got mixed up in the diff
Guilty with Nicaragua. He was in the
engagement at Chichilgalpa, where 50
of Uncle Sans boys had mix-up with
about $50 rebels. The engagement
lasted only about twelve minutes.
Three of the navy boys were wounded,
among them Mr.. Talmadge, who was
shot in the left foot, the bullet enter
ing between the big toe and the one
next to it, and came out on the bottom
his foot, shattering the big toe. George
had been in the hospital eight days
when the letter informing his people
was written, and expected to be around
the next day on crutches. He expects
to sail for the u. S. on November 5,
and will be in Newport to spend the
holidays with his parents.
The navy boys killed sixteen of the
rebels with their first volley and wounded
many others.

any problem in banking that could be

the old clerk knew better.
"Can you make an erasure SO neatly

''Yes. SIR said the young man. with

"Well. for heavens sake don't tell
your prospective employer so or you

Institute Session Closed

The second annual Normal Institute
of Pend Oreille county closed it's sessions
Friday evening, and the teachers de-
parted for their homes with the feeling
that they had spent most profitable
week. Not only were they provided
with program that contained much
of interest and benefit to them in their
work, but they had most enjoyable
stay in our town. Before the close of
the sessions the following resolution
was introduced and unanimously
adopted:
cit is the sense of the visiting teach
ers of Pend Oreille county in attend
ance upon the annual teachers institute
at Newport, that we express our warm
est word of appreciation to the citizens
of Newport. and to Supt. King and the
teaching corps Of the city, for their
cordially and splendid entertainment
so generously given, to Mrs. Dodge for
the use of her Victrola, to Mrs. Tai
madge for the loan of her piano, to our
able body of instructors for inspiration
and helpfulness received, to Miss Ellis
for arranging our musical program and
to those who gave of their musical tai
ent, and to our superintendent, Miss
Soules, for arranging and managing so
fine program of entertainment and
instruction.
