A remarkable story, duly authenti cated, of the discovery of hidden Aztec treasures, has just been report ed to the Government authorities at Tepic by Rev. Pablo Martino, the parish priest of Yesca. The priest makes a statement, which is concurred in by several reliable witnesses, that a party of Americans, headed by an archa eological expert who gave the name of Heverick, arrived at Yesca sev eral weeks ago and went from that place into the mountains, accom panied by three Mexican guides. The archaeologist obtained his bearings by means of a chart which he claimed to have copied from an Aztec stone tablet in the National Museum in the City of Mexico. He located a vast cavern in the moun tain near Yesca. , Immensestone images stood about this chamber. In one end was a lhandsome altar, above which burn ed a bright flame, sunnlied bv natural gas from a crevice in the wall. In a chamber adjoining this main temple was found a great -store of ornaments ani utensils belonging to the Aztec or some other prehis toric race. Twelve burros were a-euuired to transport the articles -taken from the'cave to San Bias, -where they were shipped to the mountains, ac companied 'by three Americans. As such articles can uot be removed from Mexico without the consent of the Government, investigation is in progress. an NEWSPAPERS ARS MIRRORS. San Angelo Standard. - The .newspapers cf a town are like looking glasses, and you see ysiirsel.ves as others see you. If ;yaur town is doing business the iloeal paper will show it in its ad vectising.columns, bat if the mer dfeants are scared, -spiritless men, with stocks of goods.all jumbled to gether iand no business doing, the newspapers will show it by the lack m space ifchey take. Qif you want to make your town a ilive town, the best way to do it is ito keep your adrertisenients constantly before the publie in your local paper. Who wants to settle m a dead town whose merchants are too scared to let outside people knovr' there is any business in -the town? A carload of money recently was received at the castings department of the steel plant. The money was in three cent capper pieces, recently called in by the government and cancelled. The coins were Jiot suf ficientlv different from the ooe cent pieces to warrant their circulation. Their cancellation reduced their value to that of cooper, and it was as a carload of copper that the coniwere purchased .by the plant. Monterey News.

Mr. Malcolm Canmore is not a thick and thin admirer of Andrew Carnegie. He writes of the laird of Skibo in the Boston Transcript : Accomplishing what he has in life on the most meager of educa tion he boldly attempted to place a university training within reach of the entire Scottish people of future generations. A man of indifferent; religious convH ions, ne lavishes fortunes on ristian charities, id church organs. Suaday schools Awwedly democratic, he exhibited asingularondness for men of birth ami rank. A character sketch of Carnegie made up from what has fcften written ab, out him would prob ably portray a character as unique it not so fantastic as Mr. Hyde and ihis other self. !'. tsome he is a tenderhearted philanthropist, op pressed by the misery and suffer ing with which the world is rife, intent upon using hisreat wealth for the amelioration of the condi- tion of his fellow creatures. Again, he is a mighty financial octopus, a --selfish monopolist and tyrannical master a very monster of greed and inhumanity. In truth -he is an elusive charac ter, neither so black as some paint shim, nor so good as others think him; certainly not the suave, kind ly, head-and-shoulders-above-his-fel low-creatures individual that he himself would have the world be- Jieve. He has been so moulded by American industrialism that his personality, always strong, has lost the flexibility while retaining the inherent nature of the man and gained the rugged, steel and iron covering which is the callous of in tense commercialism. FEELINGS DAMAGED CENTS. SIX Damage in the amount of six cents to his feelings and $i00. to his repu tation was allowed in the verdict, of the jury in the Harvey J.

POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS ND SUBSTITUTE TEXAS MAY BE INCLUDED- In the Scheme of tlie Republicans to Cut Down Representation Washington, November 13. 3$ was announced today that as socaa as possible after congress conves3S; next month a conference will held between Representatives Crura packer, Dick and Dayton aoail Postmaster General Payne and ofcbsr members of the cabinet for the pur pose of agreeing on some course of action with reference to the- muc3a talked of proposition to reduce the representation in congress f t'hos? Soilthe States which have "&s franchised the negroes." At conference it will be decided wiletheir or not to call a republican ssrtt&us: to act in the-premises. It; wilL le remembered that two suokssacuse were held last winter but that ne definite steps were taken. Ia order to escape the charge thuG ihe' arx? trying to revive sectionalism ija&sjs? responsible for the movement' (t hold a conference say that theiatrs1- terof reducing the representation or Massachusetts, Connecticut ntta other Northern States in whjfeh numerous voters are disfranchifeeii by educational clauses in the Slate constitutions, or in some simrlfax manner will also be considered an? that cognizance will, be taken of tiiDV election frauds in Philadelphia anal X other cities. It will be hard to convince thosj who have been keeping up with tfi:U matter that any such general agf plication will be made of the reduc tion in representation idea, for it is generally understood that the who&u purpose of the movement is merely to cripple the South in as raaosy different ways as possible. Nojw that the president has decided te identify himself with the movement, it is realized that there will in aiS probability be some interestingdV- j velopments during the forthcoming short session. On account of the adoption of fcfi-p poll tax amendment in Texas, it Us hinted that conditions in that Sikh? may be inquired into by those who are expected to participate in this proposed conference.
