The above is the State law. Il Is
not the law IN Msxioe because the
Council by . vote Of 4 10 5 defeated
the ordinance covering this point We
understand the ordinance viii be e
submitted as sone Of the Council
may have changed their minds about
the matter. We see no reason why
any Councilman should vote against
this ordinance. The law is going 20
be enforced even II deputy sheriHs
and deputy constsblcs have to be
sworn in to serve as night wstehmen
in Mexico. We should think the City
Council would want the fines to go
to the city. We should think the City.
Council would want to cover matters
Of this kind without the officers Of
the County and township having 10
police the city. We will be glad If
there is a councilman who has a rez-
son for opposing this ordinance to
publish the same in the Ledger.
II We are wrong we would ike
most ~assuredly to be corrected.
Surely there is no member of the
City Council who does not want this
law enforced IN the City Of Mexico.

IL was a strenuous ordeal to sit

converted to woman suffrage after

Pastor Z. z. Johnson and his con-

 Pastor Johnson is not only a dele gate but also chairman of the gen. eral board of the church.
 The scheme that the church mem bers have decided upon to raise the funds for this very necessary trip, is that of giving an old fashioned chicken dinner, and no stint of it with all the needful and essential fixings so dear to the heart of a sure enough southern colored cook This dinner is being served from
 noon until as late in the evening as the vitels" hold out. The proceeds of it go to the very worthy purpose of paying the pastor delegates ex-

TRINIDAD, May 7.-Major Hol- brook, with his staff. spent the day among the strikers at Sopris and Segundo, impressing upon them the aJvisability of peacefully surrender ing their arms. but no delivery of guns was made today. Tomorrow Colonel Lockett will issue a proc lamation calling upon all citizens to surrender all arms in their posses sion forthwith. At military head quarters it was said no forcible search would be made for arms un- til after the issuance of the proc lamation.
 Colonel Lockett informed District Attorney Hendricks that while mar
 tial law has not been formally de- clared. he considered the district un- der the absolute authority of the troops. and that the authority would
 be exercised only when it was found the county officers were unable to cope with any given situation. He told the district attorney he had knowledge of certain saloons selling liquor in spite of the strict prohibition imposed by the federal officers, and that such sale must be stopped completely and immediately. If the district attorneys office could not enforce prohibition, the federal l troops could and would.

 SAVED HIM

I would have been dead long since, and detestable in every detail before the passing but for the blessedness of work. I have emerged from hideOus dissipation shaking, puerile, as ripe seemingly for the merciful bullet as the insect tortured beast loose in the field to die. Again and again have I been so. yet, by Gods good plan, I have found myself once more here, at the machine, as now. I have felt my own body resume life, it's wastes and poisons relaxing their death hold. answering the movements which mean life I have sensed the devils leaving my brain and prevented their re- turn-through this godly guardian, work. Every utterance worth the making from this instrument has done more for me than it could pos sibly do for another. I love my work. As servant of it I am here, on my way, and all is well.-Will Lexington Comfort in the Craftsman.
