A Masonic lodge has been organ ized at Eddy and the Knights ol Pythias expect to organize a lodge during next month. Mr. Blaine's forthcoming speeches will be five minute ones, it is said The Maine statesman can say a good deal in that lime when he is in the mood. Since the inauguration of Presi dent Harrison the national debt has been reduced 1275,000,000. This shows what the Republicans have been doing with the "public money." The poll tax collectors should bear in mind that no promise to pay or note can be accepted in payment of poll taxes. It is cash in hand, and when the checking is done, as it will be by both parties it the cash is not forthcoming, there will be trouble, It also will not do to give out any blank receipts, as they are not legal and will make them liable to prose cution. The attention of laboring men is called to the report of Charles F. Peck, Tabor commissioner of the state of New York under the Demo cratic administration. In one year tho McKinley bill increased the wages of the workmen in sixty-seven industries an average of i23.11 for 285,000 employes, w hile tho average increase of wages for tho employes in fifty-one trades was $43.00. In addition to this increase in wages, there was an increase in production of 31,315,230.09, while strikes were reduced one-third. Tee Selves & El Paso Boas. Recent exciting events appear to have driven all public attention from an enterprise that is of vital im portance to Denver and to the great rich country that lies to tho south of it. The promoters of the Denver & El Paso Independent road, how ever, have not been idle, but have been quietly at work perfecting plans, and they now expect within a short time to offer tho bonds of tho road on tho market. Their sale will mean the iminediato beginning of tho work, and when active opera tions have once been begun, there is every assurance that the lino will be steadily and speedily pushed to com pletion. The construction of a railroad on the proposed route is ono of largo importance to Denver, Pueblo, Trinidad, Las Vegas, White Oaks and El Paso these being the princi pal points on the route. Tho Leno fits to bo derived from the road have been so repeatedly set forth that they need not again be gone into at length. To Denver, Pueblo and Trinidad the new line will open up a moro direct connection with New Mexico, and one that will not fail to conduce to their commercial ad vantage. The same results will bo assured to Las Vegas, while to Whito Oaks and the rich mineral country surrounding it the road will create an era of development such as has never before been witnessed in the western country. To El Paso the road will be of special advantago as putting it in connection with a new territory naturally tributary to its trade. There is not a point on the proposed route that will not be measurably benefited by the con struction of this 500 miles of new railroad. As an investment there is no road in the Rocky mountain country that will command a larger or more re munerative traffic. It penetrates a mining, coal, timber and agricultural country that is unsurpassed in ma terial wealth and whoso traffic, as de veloped by tho new road, will assure very largo ana steady returns. Viewed lrom any standpoint, there is no enterprise now beforo tho public which is more entitled to its favor,or which demands tho more considerate attention of capitalists and investors. It will bo a fortunate day for Den vci when it is begun, and a still more fortunate one for all the cities named when its trains shall be running from this city to El Paso. Denver News. Safes Fassemeb Cass. One of the most interesting new enterprises of the year is the organization of a strong company which proposes to build cylindrical or "whaleback" steel cars for use. The works will bo established at West Superior, Wis., where the "whaleback" vessels, now familiar on the lakes, are built, and tho suc cess of tho "McDougal" pigs in the water has doubtless had much to do with a trial of a similar pattern on land. In so far s tho new style may be used for freight purposes the pub lic will have comparatively little at slake, and the success or failure of the venture will mainly concern tho men who havo tho money invested. It will be a matter of the liveliest interest, however, to all persons who travel by Tail road if the steel cars which aro to bo built for experiment al work use in passenger traffic shall prove all that tho backers of tho en terprise hope and expect. It has been apparent for many years to all who havo studied the conditions un der which great loss of life have taken place in railroad wrecks that stronger and less inflammable cars would go far toward preventing such wholesale slaughter as now and then shocks the country. In collisions tho passengers in the Pullmans have often escaped serious injury when ordinary day cars, being much more lightly constructed, have been ground to pieces and their in males horribly mangled. Tho dead ly work of firo in wrecks is too fa miliar to need comment, and it must be considered certain that if all pas senger cars could bo framed and walled with steel, or mado entirely with aluminum, the danger of those frightful accidents in which men and women are imprisoned under the tim ber of burning cars and slowly con sinned by the flames would bo greatly lessened. It has been ursred many times within tho last years that railroad passenger cars should bo much moro strongly constructed as a precaution against needless loss of life, and it is well to know that an experiment is to be made on a large scale in the building of comparatively fireproof and inde structible cars for tho use of passen gers as well as freight. Locomotive Engineering. A Tsir. After trying some timo to ascertain whether the alarm clock could with safety bo trusted, a man by tho name of Newt Shirley retired, in all proba bility to dream about the trip he in tended to make next day, starting at tho early hour of 5 o'clock. How ever, his sleep proved anything but peaceful, as each time tho clock shifted her busy hands, showing an hour had passed, Newt arose, rubbed his eyes, and with much surprise noted that some timo yet remained beforo tho starting hour. However, it came at last, as all things do to those who wait. A very jolly party, consiHting of men, women and chil dren, started that morning for a two weeks outing among the Rockies. Wo found some very good and re liable drivers, and Jim Christal was chosen to do the piloting. He was considered tho most capablo to see to the ladies, as his crutch lay just in reach.

M. eoqwell isr :m:- many dangerous places. Although some very loud screaming occurred, ho remained nelf-posscssed, only complaining of his right arm, per sisting it was talked oil. But he is a fortunate man, so still has the use of that member, lie, however, was not so lucky as Ray Salisbury, who found a diamond an inch lour; and half an inch wide. Ho feared to sleep in an open tent with such a for tune in his possession, but after ex amining all the guns ho was at last persuaded to retire. The bright light of the moon revealed him start ing up in his sleep and holding tho very precious gem up to the light to see that it was not a dream, but a, reality. He at length fell into & peaceful slumber, and when he j awoke his first thought was of his diamond. And it was indeed very amusing when, after searching for some time and failing to find it, ho looked from one to the other in mute appeal. Suddenly he turned to his better half and exclaimed: "You have it!" Of course tho joke could be carried no further, for wo feared it would prove fatal, so he was made happy by again seeing the wonderful diamond. One morning before we had par taken of breakfast, Thomas Smith and Ed Keen set out to visit a snow covered mountain which seemed about half a mile away. They walked on on on, yet still they seemed no nearer, and after four or five miles' walk they eat down and concluded to take separate routes. After climbing over rocks and logs for some timo Keen sat down to rest and then return to camp. He sat for some timo watching a mysterious object between the trees. So slowly and with gun in hand ready to slay the sly intruder, he crept on, and imagine his surprise to see hie friend Smith ready for a plunge in what was not one yard of water. "Hello, Thomas!" cried Ed, pushing forward "You ain't going to go in there, I hope?" "Yes I am," replied Smith; "I don't intend to bo fooled by any moro appearances." They returned to camp, and they did not need any coaxing to eat the warm supper awaiting them. They tried very hard to get their friend, Dan Scully, to climb the mountain, but "No, not in 32 years," was his reply. Ho re mained near camp, contenting him self by catching mountain trout. Dr. Milligan caught tho largest trout ever heard of. llo was in his buggy, and Engineer Dag'i" was driving very fast. As they passed the stream tho doctor threw in his line and well, he was surprised to find the buggy brought to a stand still, lie and I);igue were both exhausted when at last the trout lay in the buggy. It was ample food for two meals for them. The doctor would have it that this was o. k., but ivme'uber, reader, it is a fish nlor) ! But wo must not forget the ladies. Some proved brave, while others were not, uud one lady who showed Saking P Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard. A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. Superior to every other known.

L No other baking powder docs such work. taste for climbing and getting cactus and other wild vines was very badly poisoned by a plant resembling the wax plant. Dr. Milligan, however, having thoughtfully brought bis medicine case, soon relieved her suffering, and she had no further trouble until the last evening of camping bliss, the object of annoy ance this time being a small bug in her car. Although this seemed laughable to the others it was not so to her. One eve while all were enjoying the camp fire, they were startled by hearing noises as if made by some wild beast. Some remained still and speechless while others rushed for the tents. Mrs. Salisbury was very much frightened and had her little ones smothered away in a pile of blankets. Imagine our amuse ment to find that the cause of our alarm was Smith with a fish pole and cord tied to a piece of pine, which, when whirled fast over his head, made a noise that would cause the most courageous to tremble. We, however, were not frightened out of attending the corn dance. We were the only Americans present but made friends with the Pueblos and can speak very highly of all whom wo met. Ono family upon whom we called insisted that we remain for dinner and as we had never eaten in a Mex ican house we accepted the invitation and wero surprised at the taste our friends showed in cooking and serv ing and we found our appetites re turning at tho sight of the dinner. Wo left pleased with our reception and carrying with us a very favora ble impression of the Mexican and his home. One young lady of our party was a complete stranger to New Mexico ways Miss Essie Salisbury, of Em poria, Kansas. She was not, however, a stranger to driving, for one day while preparing a luncheon we were surprised to see Miss Essie driving up tho canyon where few men would care to go, handling the lines with perfect ease, not giving them up even at the most rocky and dangerous points. Such young ladies aro he roines in real life and deserve com mendation for their noble conduct Mrs. Newt. Shirley proved very brave until tfie stubborn mule caused the Ullg?y almost to upset. Then her real character came tb light and we found she was afraid to give up this world and pass on to that other so much happier. Yet wo all cling to life with fond hopes that tho nior row may bring joys and brightness to us, never known before. R X Salesmen Wanted.
