Aai 'i g th pnisper jui email farmers of San Juan county none are more worthy of notice thun our old frieDd, Jobo H. Austio, who lives on fourth of a mile from Aztec on the Duraupo road, lie came here thirteen years ayo with a Tery sickly wife and five children to support. Hs had a wagon and team and fifty dollars in cash. lie was badly crippled and bin general health poor. He L ubl live acres of land, partly on time, which was the best he cimid do then. Two year later, 110 liuutjht 6J acre more and afterward Uiught out) acre making in all that he now o wot 12-g acres. He cow Lasa üi.e orchard a ui:e dwelling house, u good Lam, u good number ul bee hives, some splendid cows and hornee, a wugou oud bugLOi plenty of Cas-h lo bu whatever he needs and an excellcut reputation fur honesty. His family are all healthy, now, ana thé education of his children hae not be6ii neglected. Puolo "ho pass hi plata eay: "There is a home' that id u beauty ." This is "a model small home whnro a conteuted family enjoys life better thaj the Vaudeibilts do. Living ou a biuall irrigated farm liko.lbis caunoi be beat. Delegate ttody has "tntioducjd a bilí "Weudiutí the act authorizing tbu ap pointment of sn additional associate justice of the supreme court of Mtv Mexico, to provide luut the chief juniice and his associates, or a majority of the supreme court, may ru-diatrict the terri iory of Now Aexico into tivo judicial districts and make such asBlgomejta of judges as shall be deemed proper. "Race-Suicide." President Ivosevuil's letter on the lub ject of race-Buicido w ill be read by u great many thousands ot people .vho will hetitily uuinuioiid its spirit mul purpoie, and lei it go at that. It is a deup sort of sgoliaui that modern some- , ty suffers under, We admit beautiful Bc.u wholesome principles with great readiuese, and live accordiug to quite other principles. The American people have never espoused either the cynical Kpicureau philosophy of the Freuch or the stoic Tolstuian notion that a strange De revelation from on high has coin niauded men coldly to lay down the mándate given in the Garden of KUmi and let the race die and go back to Uod, Yet, as we have before pointed out, the American people would dwindle away if they were not recruited from abroad. The whole matter ie one for the in dividual conscience. It is a thing that laws canuot touch. It also seetuB im possible for religion to touch it, though surily that cannot be, It is probable . Vi- th'í v.i' tarr iif religion havo not made as earnest an appeal to the individ ual conscience as they ought to have made. The President's eicellant letter points out their duty to them. New York Mail and Express. The present territorial legislature like most all of its predecessors is called on to decide on questions of county di visions and the organizing tot new couo ties. A bill creating the county of Roosevelt out of South-eastern Guada' tupe and üorth-eastern Chaws seems to have very good prospects of passing The council haB passed the measure and it is thought the House will do likewise. The county ot Quay is to be created the eastern part of the territory, There are bills alvo before the house to divide Bernalillo county, leaving Albuquerque and a small territory surrounding, as one bounty, with the roiuuiuuerot the county biviued into one or two countieB. it is favored by the commercial oi-ganizatioub and prominent citizens of Albuquerque, Important Discovery.

When used in the feeoding mast, it can be "tuned" to any pitch, and its power is limitless, Dr Michael I. Pupin, professor ot electro tnechanics at Columbia university says 'I do not think I am saying too much toben I stats that the contribution vhich this dsvelopment will make to wirelusj telegraphy is by far the most important which has been made since Marconi's earliest experiment'" The Kansas house of representatives has recommended for passage a etrin eDt law against lynching. It provides that a BheritT permitting a pris oner to be taken from him immediate ty forfeits uia oince, Any person participating in lynching may be punish ed by death or imprisonment for life and iir. y member of a mob at u lynchiug Vhetber he participates in the deed or hot. may be imprisoned in ihn peniteu tiary for twsnty-tiva years. the Senats committee on puDlic lands Friday, after an animated controversy ' tiecided to favorably report Sonatoi Ruarles' bill repealing the desert land liw, timber and stone entry law and commution provision homestead law leaving only the straight rive-year resi tiene homestead law under which public lands may be taken up for homes A stroni? effort íb belrjir tnade by beaver lady, whoee name is not given . lo secure tho release of Antone Woode .he be y murderer who is serving a "23 jrear wuteuce in the Canon City pen W;ntinry for murdering a hunter, for whom he was actina as guide, Woode Vnaonlv eleven years old when the de-d Has committed, and has already served MhS years of bis sentirme; A Letter From Imperial.

F.di r Indss: As s) many people around Aztec wer interested ip the Imperial couutry, I thought you might want t i print a few iines io Thk Index concern ing the greit Colorado canal. The body of land to be irrigated in about 50 mileB wide by sumo SO or 100 miles in length. Tbesoi: is the richest l-hive ever seen anywhere, aud if I were to lell about the growth ot vegeta tion that 1 have seen here, some of the peoplo would think the desert had atfected my oiind. I bw one ot the canals today that waters one pirtino of inis vast tiHct. It was 70 feet wide and curried as much water as tho Animas did on Feb. Is', and was not full, There u:e i;reat possibilities here in t'le agri cultural line Hnd a great man fruits will do veil here when they are tried. It is too lato to take any govei niuet.t laud in disirablu locations, but claims, with wa'er stock paid up, can bo bought ir from $12. to 822. per acre on easy erms according to location and distance rom town. The railroad was completed herelHHt night and trains will be run- i)i,i a a few days.

The temperature fur the past year has iiig6d from 20 to 130 aboye Zero, tho highest being the same hero as at Yuin.i, Very respectfully, S. E. Koontz. Council Bill No. 75 as introduced b Mr. Hughes. It recites that tlio unikh and dilapidated condition of S.inta Fa is a great regret to all citizens of Nlw Mexico; that no capital is so rich in historic associations, that it is a matter of prido to all citizens ot Now Mexico that tho capital should be bi entitled and made as attractive as poesibio. The preamble rocites that the financial con dition ot Santa Fe is auch that t!i:; cih :an do nothing. Tho bill provides that on tbn request ot the city council and mayor of Santa ve, and the approval ot the governor, convicts may bo used to ruprove streets, parks and public places in Santa Fe. Bricks, stone aud other products of the penitentiary shall bo furnished free. The same privilego is authorized for the construction of an executive mansion and a building for the Historical Society, It was referred to the committee on terri tonal affairs. Mr. Hughes introduced Council Bill No. 71, An act to repeal the law provid ing for a geological survey of New Mexico and to make an exhibit at the St, Lquis Exposition. The hill recites tüüt a large amount of money has been eol ec'nd for theio two tinrnoseo.bnV that tho government hag taken no ac tion regarding the survey. Many mem bers ot congreBB are opposed to the ad mission of New Mexico as a state, and for these reasons the bill provides that the LouisiaLa purchase exposition com mission shall pay all bills aud cease to exist. The money in the two funds shall be equally divided among the seven territorial educational institu tions. Referred to the committee on finance. Mrs. Maybrick Again Disapi pointed. To the recent odorts made to secure the roleaso of Mrs. Maybrick, the Amor, icao woman confined in an, English prisou for murdering her husband, nows comes from London that there is no probability that she will be released in time to give evidauce in the big land suit involving her mother's fortuno. Personal inquirías have been made at tho home oflice, to which a new appeal has been addressed for her liberation, but Home Secretary Ritchie does not intend to depart from the decision of his predecessors that Mrs. Maybrick shall serve her full term. Iler sentence was penal servitude for lite, but there is a rule under which life prisoners may be released at the end ot twenty years. Counting time remission for good behavior, her case may come up undor that rule for review next fall when it is possible she may get the benefit of the custom of liberation. There is no expectation at the Ameri can embassy that sha haB any chance of being released beforo thoo . Tendency 'A the Times.

Pneumonia always results from a cold or from at. attack of influen za (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts uny tendency of th.se diseases toward pneumonia. This has beou fully proven in many thousands of caBes in which this remedy has been used during the groat preialanci ot colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence, Pneumonia often results from a slight C'jld when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the cheBt-, then it i announced that the patient has pneumonia, Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Ilemndy as soou as the cold is contracted.

A tire occured in Williams, Arizona last wve'.i which destroyed six buildings', Sve of which were saloons, but as the town is still well supplied io that liue. no suffering ia anticipated. Real estate ou our new island posses sion, Guiim, is evidently on the rise, t s late dispatches say earthquakes have shoved it up six inches, However it 13 doubtful if it woull be considered any more valuable on that account.

' San Juau county in the irrigation lino," The Putblo Chieftain says; "Tho lurthwuBt coruor of New Mexico, the finest appls country in the world, is now to have wealth below as well us above ground, An oijht foot vein ot coal has been discovered." Wa would explain to the Chieftain that there are thous ands ot acres of coal land in Sau Juan county, the exiftonce ot which haB beeu known since the settlement of the county, Although generously aided from many sources, it is well known that Booker Washington has been hampered in his work ut Tuskagee by a luck of funds, and it showed his eye for business when he iuvited Mr. Carnegie to visit his school. It is to bo hopod that Mr. Car negie will not refuse to aid so worthy a cause, as mou and women truincd iu that school have, with few exceptions, proved strong factors iu the uplifting of their raco. For yoirs our grammarians have wag od war as to whether we should say 'the United States is," or the United are, out now luey may lay asule their arms and enjoy a truce, for the Commit ter on Revision cf tho Laws has, in re viewing the Federal statutes, decided that ''the United Slates iu." The sin gular present of the verb"tu bu"will there fore, be used iu tho fortu-.-omiug edition of the Revised Statutes, and frjui a legal stand point "the United Status are" will cease to exist. An official statement ot iuo ii iHtoes of Cornell university iu regard to the typhoid fever situation, stales that there ar fifty-four patients, mostly ty phoid, in the university infirmary and its annexes, who are attended by fifty trained nurses. Aside from these, there are seven cases of recognized typhoid among students in the city of Ithaca who are being caroü for by their friends, Ihia differs somewhat troin -'four hundred cases" as stated by some of the papers, but is quite sufficient as it it, Any American gill ia possibly, and probably, going to need t j fall back upon her own resources some time. The ups and downs of fortune are too certain, too conspicious, to need pointing out. To bring up a girl without' any training in a useful occupation is not simply im provident and foolish, but it is wicked. Feminine character needs independence to make and keep it sweet aud period. The darkest tragedies of life grow out of the ignorance, halplonsness and depend enes or women, Courage, training in work, independence of character and self-reliance theso, with high idéala of womanhood for inspiration, are what eve ry girl deeds. Only through iuUlligent work can the highest character L at tained, and the growth of character is the wble purpose of this school which we call "the world. -(Woman's Home Companion-, ft A Nariv Escape. As oor lady Miieabees were returning from one of their meetings, last Monday night, the darkr-s, relieved ouly by the dim light ot a lantern, natura. I; caused the conversation to drift to the Supernatural. V i h highly strung nerv es and beating Marts, thry were hur rying through th 'ilesei ted streets, when to their horror, t ie loomed just ahead of them, what &;.'ued to bo a w hite ob ject, with eyes Ilk- balls of tire. Natur ally, their only nu ans ot escape Beemed to be in flight, ace "tnpanied by 'he usual amount of femin.n. shrieks. The fright of the ladies W8t-ualled only by the astonishment of ha innocent cause, for the apparition p.-ived to be one ot our Ministers, on hit ray home from eve ning services, be-: ing in his arms his baby boy, wai m:. snuggled in a whitu wrap. The "bali . of tire" turned out to be nothing more linn the rellectiou ot the lantern upoutho Minister's spec tacles. v Each Udy confdod tho dreadful ex perience to her hV- baud aud "the horrid thing went right jut and told itvj which furnished our Pi. ft Laueate a'ií excuse to grind out the ijilluuing: The rond waj ft, the iiIr'j! wit ilark, The "Lily Beer ' v iahed for a boat, For th(y had 1. iu a jolly lark.

Washington i'npatch says: "All day there has bee talk ot a compro mise ou the etatehi id bill. It is genera ly umierstoou ten' i' fiat is Known bb tho Spooner coinp . in so, being whst is consin eonator, will bo satisfactory to the Republicans. The terms of this compromiso have been given heretifore, and have a proposition for the state ot Montezuma and provides that before Arizona can be set oil aB a separate stats tho population of Montezuma must be 700,000 of which 300,000 should be in Arizona, Tho Democrats while talking in a conciliatory spirit, said, they bad little hope ot tha Republican proposition being acceptable, It is quite likely that when this proposition is submitted the Democrats will have a conference. Probably a counter proposition will then be made providing that whe.i Arizona has a population which ie an average for a representative in congress she shall be admitted us a state, and also that a consuB shall be taken every year. Democrats say they want a provision fixing tho date which will bring Ari zona into the Union. This will not he satisfactory to tho Ropublicaus. While efforts toward a compromise continuo, there is only a few senators who expect an adjustment will bo reached, and tho prospects for statehood legislation are still remote." GEO. K.
