Cleaned Them Up

A gank of Mexican thieves threat
ened to take the town of Ordway re-
Gently. Almost every store In the
town was robbed at various times, and
especially did the country stores just
outside OF the town suffer. Judge
Essex was called upon to put the fln-
ishing touches on the gang In the dis
trict court at Ord way last week. He
sentenced six of the twelve to the
penitentiary, and the remaining six
were given jail sentences. The clean.
Ing up was made by Sheriff HumistOn.
Reaching the conclusion that II was a
gang OF Mexicans who comprised a
"Mexico town" near Ord way, the men
working on the railroad section and In
the beet fields. were the perpetrators
OF the numerous robberies, the sheriff
ransacked Mexico town and found a
large quantity of plunder In the
shacks. 1t included every kind Of
wearing apparel and the women were
elaborately fitted out in silks and
satins. Fowler Advertiser.

They Might be Cleaner

The Ordway New Era last week
took pains to give the towns Of Rocky
Ford. La Junta and Swink a rap be-
cause state health officer meandered
down the line In the wake OF the
smallpox scare and ordered these
towns cleaned up. 1t boasts because
Ordway received no such order and
assumes, therefore, that that town is
so sanitary that there Is no need for
cleanup" Just let some smallpox
patient drop of at the pink meat town
and expose half a dozen people to the
disease aud see how quick they get
the same kind of a swat from the
state board Of health So far as La
Juuta Is concerned. there ia no clean.
er town 10 the valley month in and
month out, but at the same time no
town Is as sanitary as IL should be, or
could be II properly "policed II
every citizen could spend two weeks
In military camp, at the end OF that
time they would know more about
practical sanitation than most Of
Jnen uOu OuU III u IlIeJtiut. IL Cuul-
pany OF soldiers were preparing to
pitch camp In one of the cleanest res
ident streets OF this or any other
country town, the first order given
would be to 'police" the street, which
means to gather every vestige Of filth
and litter and burn It,. And when
camp Ia broken the very last order is
to police camp" and when it is done
not 80 much as straw, cigarette stub
or a piece OF paper Is left-that place

One OF the very best uses the
National guard could be put to for
about one month each year would be
to send them over the state to every
town to show the people how to make
a town sanitary and To See that IL is
done at least that once. The farms
might also be visited with good re-
suit.-Otero County Press.

PROGREssIvEs HOLD BALANCE.
Control Maine Legislature by Voting
With the Republicans.

AUGUSTA. Me-, January 14.-Uncer-
tainty as to the prOgressives in the
legislature heightened interest in the
United States senatorial election today.
The republicans have five majority in
the senate and but two votes to spare
over the necessary seventy-six in the
house. No early announcement had
been made as to whether the progress
ives would name a candidate.
Former Representative Edwin G.
Burleigh and Senator Obadiah Gardner.
the republican and democratic candi-
dates. respectively, were selected at a
preferential primary last June.
The two branches of the legislature
met separately and will assemble in
Joint convention for final action tomor-
row. The republicans have seven more
than the necessary of ninety-two on
Joint ballot if members with progress
i've tendencies vote with them.
The first ballot in the house today re-
suited in no choice, Burleigh and Gard
ner each receiving - votes.
The senate vote was on strict party
lines 81 for Burleigh and 10 for Gardner.
Adjournment by both houses until noon

President-elect Wilson's declaration al
Trenton yesterday that he would "pick
only progressives" for the work of the
new administration brought from demo
cratic leaders of the Senate today state
ments that the new President would have
the support of a united democratic ma
jority i'm the Senate when he began his
presidential term.
Efforts to unite the democrats. with the
control virtually given to the "progres-
sives," have been SO far SO successful
that leaders predict there will be no open
break in the organiza ton of the new
Senate.
The reorganization element will. it is
understood, yield the Craftsmanship OF
to them by rank: but will insist upon a
full voice in the control of each committee
and in the selection of its members.
Senators Martin and Hoke Smith, rec.
ognized as the leaders of the democratic
forces in the Senate. both refused to see
in the remarks of the President-elect any
especial reference to the situation in the
Senate and both predicted a harmonious
settlement of all differences in that body.
Il don't understand why any democrat
srould be surprised at the declaration of
Gov. Wilson that he is in accord with
the progressive policies OF the day, SAID
Senator Martin. Il am sure he will find
the democratic party in the Senate solid
Iy with him i'm the views he expresses. |
certainly know of no dissent from them. )"
Senator Smith said
II do not apprehend any discord among
the democrats of the Senate. l believe
that a harmonious plan of reorganization
will be adopted. practically doing away
with the old hard and fast rule OF senior
ity, and yet recognizing the valve Of the
services of those who have been for a
long time in the Senate.

DOUBT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Political Leaders Look for a Dead
lock on the Senatorship.

CONCORD. \. H.. January 14.-With
progressives claiming. to hold the balance
of power, political leaders looked for a
deadlock when the two branches of the
legislature voted today for United States
senator. The progressives claimed twen-
ty-three votes for their candidate. former
Gov. Robert p Bass. The democratic
candidate was Henry +. Hollis of Con-
cord, and the republicans voted to sup
port former Gov. Henry b. Quinby of
LacOnia. A majority vote in each house
was necessary for an election. Fourteen
of the twenty-four members of the SEN
ate and 1876 of the 4O3 members of the
house were elected as democrats. but
sixty failed to attend the caucus, at
which Hollis was nominated and their
position was uncertain. OF the ten sena-
tors and 2O7 representatives elected as re-
pub,icans a number have taken a stand
openly as prOgressives.

Padilla and that refugees are pouring into
Acapulco from all directions. Two thou
