TRANSACTS
BUSINESS

The city council met last night to
consider the tax levy for the ensu-
ing years, but on account of the eff
feet that possible dry" Colorado
may have on Durango's financial con-
dition, action was deferred until after
election.
Alderman Hanno, chairman Of the
finance committee, states that next
year the city affairs can be conduct
ed on less money than last year and
submitted figures to prove his state
ment. Last year the levy was ~
mills or something over $4,000. With
this amount the usual expenses were
met, the water shed site paid for and
Sl,500 appropriated for bridges. AS
these last named expenses will not
have to be met this year he thinks
that 10 mill levy will be sufficient.
However, this does not provide for
the pipe line repairs that Superin-
tendent Redman insist will have to
be made.
Th, representative business men
manifested special interest in the
meeting. Noted among those present
were the Messrs. B. N. Freeman, j.
d. Adams, T. C. Graden, R. E. Sloan,
b. Glaser, C. Herr, Harry Jackson,
w G. White, Rod Day and J. r. c.

BILLS.

Those Democratic and half-breed
tariff bills which have since been
passed have disapproved because
they constituted menace to the well
fare of the American workmen, hav-
ing been conceived in insincerity,
drafted in ignorance, and passed with
reckless disregard for the millions de-
pendent for a livelihood on the pros
perity of the industries they would
have undermined. The passage Of ade-
quate and intelligent tariff bills |
have not failed to urge, but the ap-
proval Of inadequate, unintelligent and
menacing tariff measures | have not
failed to disapprove; even though it
would have been easier to disapprove
the Payne bill and approve the make
shift measures of a later date. Had /
been recreant to my trust and solici-
tous only for my own political for
tunes different court might have ap-
pealed to me, but pursued the course

LAST RITES HELD FOR
MMRS. PERRY SPENCER

A large number of people assembled
at the Baptist church this afternoon
to pay their tribute of respect to the
late Mrs. Perry Spencer whose tragic
death last Saturday so startled the
residents Of this community.
In the congregation were those
who had known her in her happy care
free days Of girlhood as well as those
who had shared her friendship in her
years of maturity. Annie Bassett
Spencer was one of those who fully
met and discharged her obligations in
life whether it be as a sister, daugh-
ter, wife or friend so the feeling of
a personal loss was especially felt
by her untimely death. She was a
bright, cheerful woman whose optimis-
tic views of life made her ever
welcome companion.
Since 1898 she has been a part of
the life of the section, coming here
with her family when she was only
ID years Of age. Four years later
she married Perry Spencer, the eld-
est son Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Spen-
GER of Florida mesa.
A portion of Mr.. and Mrs. Spen-
GERS married life has been spent in
Durango but the major part Of the
time they have resided on Florida
mesa, where in the general social life
she was ever active. But her first
thought was always for the old home
circle. There, besides her husband,
she is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Amy Bassett, one brother and three
sisters, Mrs. Colmer, Mrs. Welch and
Mrs: Jackomelly. All were present
at the funeral this afternoon.
The services were in charge Of Rev.
Mr.. Barlow Of the Baptist church of
this city and Rev. Mr. Campbell of
the Florida mesa. The pail bearers
were chosen from among the young
men on the mesa, old friends of the
family.
A long line Of carriages followed in
the procession to Greenmount ceme-
terry where interment took place.

The death of the mother superior,
Mary of the Cross, is sequel to a
demonstration of remarkable courage.

she heard the cry of child who had
been overlooked in the hurry and ex-
citement. A few moments later she
appeared at window in front of the
building with the babe in her arms
Fire Chief Wright attempted to save
her but failed. A ladder was placed
against the wall and the chief scaled
it, but before he reached her. the

ing structure. They were marching

NEW YORK, Oct. Witchcraft
has been successfully practiced to
boom an undertaking establishment in
West New York according to suit
filed today before Recorder Brewer by
Mrs. Ida Schutmann. Mrs. Schutmann
and her husband are undertakers.
Fours years ago business dropped
off to an alarming extent. Mrs. Mar
Schutmann's told her friend she could
remedy the matter by witchery in
which art she practiced. The bargain
was made. Mrs. Seibel was to cast a
magic spell that would stunt the busi-
ness of all other undertakers in West
New York, and as compensation was
to receive So for every such magic
spell @ -ass
At intervals thereafter there arose
flames heavenward from the back
yard of the Seibel residence and un-
der the influence of the wondrous
flames, the Schutmann business reviv-
ed.
Mrs. Seibel, so Mrs. Schutmann
said, received for her work n total
of about 81 1000.
Now, four years late, Mrs. Schut-
mann sues to recover the money. Her
lawyer told her to sue on a ground
of obtaining money on false pertense
would be futile, and he suggested the
charge of witchcraft provided by an
old blue law.
Mrs. Seibel denies she knows any
thing Of witchcraft or of bargain
Of that kind.

The funeral Of the late jefferson
M. Rose, a veteran of the Civil war,
was held from the family home in
North Durango this afternoon, at 3
o'clock. The Rev. Mr.. McElvay of
the M. E. church delivered comfort
ing address. The services at the GEM
etery were in charge of the G.. A. r.
jefferson NJ. Rose was an interest
ing octogenarian whose four score
years were filled with rich expert
ences. He was born in Pennsylvania
when the Keystone state was com
paratively new section. His ances-
tors were sturdy pioneer people and
he inherited from them the eager de-
sire to explore new fields. While
still a young man he moved to Mis-
souri,. When the war broke out he
enlisted with the Northern army and
fought heroically for his country. The
terrible experiences Of army life prov
ed too severe for him and he con-
tracted physical affliction that caus-
ed him suffering for years and which
was directly due to the invalidism that
was his portion the last twenty years
of his life.
He was an intelligent, well educated
man who took deep interest in cur
rent events and also was very active
in the community life as long as his
health would permit.
The family moved to Colorado twen-
ty-nine years ago. Three years since
they came to Durango, hoping that
Mr.. Rose would be benefited by the
change and our invigorating atmos-
phere did benefit him to a certain ex-
tent and undoubtedly prolonged his
life.
Early in July he was taken Sc
riously sick and from that time his
death was hourly expected. When the
end came his wife, his son, Ralph
Rose, and daughter, Mrs. Wyon,
were at his bedside. In addition to
them he Is survived by four daughters
and one son who resile in other
parts Of the state.

For all recognize that the most inn
portant qualification is capability, that
rs, the ability to handle efficiently the
work Of the office desired. The next
most important claim that one may
have for any local position is worthi-
ness. Everything else being equal
every fair-minded man and woman
will ask himself or herself this ques-
ton, Which of the two candidates now
under my consideration is the most
deserving under all the circumstances
for the office sought?
Mrs. Orme, the candidate for coun-
ty clerk, would not ask that you
consider first her worthiness for that
office, but that you consider first her
ability to handle the office. Then
she would have you consider the con-
ditions that determine her worthi-

Women Successful Officers


Statements are being circulated
throughout the county that woman
is not qualified to fill the office of
county clerk. We do not think this
argument is fair to the women voters
of the county or to those who are
now, or who may hereafter become,
candidates for office. The actual facts
do not justify the claim. Mrs. Lock-
hart, the present Mrs. Annear Of Dem
yer, served two terms as county clerk
Of San Juan county, Colorado, and
Mrs. Gaylord is now serving her sec
ond term as county clerk of Archu-
leta county. Both of these women
served with marked ability, gave en-
tire satisfaction to the public, and
were not excelled by any other coun-
ty clerks in the state, either men
or women. Miss Tully, the present
Mrs. Cunningham, filled the Office Of
county treasurer of San Juan county,
Colorado, for two terms, and she was
the most painstaking and capable
county treasurer that Colorado has
ever had. We do not need to " out
side Of our own county to prove wom-
an ability to fill such offices, as our
present county treasurer has a very
efficient lady deputy, who does, for a
great portion of the time perform,
in very satisfactory manner, the
entire duties Of that office in this
county.
