pointment to Fill Office

The first official act of Circuit Judge

fill the unexpired term of Judge ].
d. Barnett, deceased, was to issue a
restraining order against the city of
Mexico, Wednesday. Judge W. w.
Bolts, one Of the officials of the cleo
trio railroad asked that an injunction
be issued to keep Street Commission
er Sanford from taking up the only
siding the railroad had within the city
limits. 1t was served just as the Com
missioner started pulling spikes.
At meeting of the Council Tues
day evening, and on the motion of
Councilman Ballew, it was decided to
remove the spur track of the electric
railroad on Western Avenue. Judge
Bolts says he saw members Of the

their action but with no avail. He
then took recourse to an injunction to
keep the track from being molested.
The council ordered 60-candle pow
er electric lamp to be placed at the
extreme eastern end of Liberty street.
IT is to bear white globe with an ar
row and the word Mexico. The
Council also granted the Hoxsey G.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND

They say woman's work is never
done but one Mexico woman cannot
lay the cause of her endless labors
at the door of her husband. There
is one Mexico business man who ris-
es at $3.50 every Monday morning and
aids his wife in washing the family
linen.
They have had hard time securing
a satisfactory washer woman SO they
decided to do the work themselves.
The husband does his share of the
washing with a smile and is happy
in aiding his wife to bear her share
of the family burden.
