Razors ought to be of the finest steel
and so capable of taking and keeping a
keen edge. One friend finds bis razor all
right, of course, because it is one he
bought here. No one has any use for a
poor razor. To attempt to shave with
one is inflicting self punif.hment. We
guarantee our razors to be Al iu every
case. They never fail to give absolute
satisfaction to every purohaser. Shaving
outfits like ours are cheap at $3. It is the

DEMOCRATIC SILYER WINGS.
Dick Bland Presides Over Convention
of White Metal Advocates in
. Missouri.
Texas Democrats Demand Fair Treat
ment of Silver Both Conventions
Very Largely Attended and Sil
ver Sentiment Strong.
Pertle Springs, Mo Aug. 6. Richard
P. Bland was agreed on as temporary
chairman and Lew Love, of Springfield,
for secretary. These nominations were
ratified and the committee immediately
adjourned.
This move of adjournment without
taking action on rumored committee
changes is taken to be a plan of the
"sound money" men to throw the onus of
whatever trouble may later rise in the
Democratic ranks on to the silver men.
U. S. Senator Cockrell had an all night
session with leading members of the state
central cotnmittoe in an endeavor to close
the breaolt whioh Boom a be r. Hninir
each hour. Senator CocUerell Ihi ij
conservative side and is working for har
mony. He suggested that a resolution be
introduced iu the convention, giving the
state central committee iron-clad, iustrtro
tions as to its duties dnriug the state
campaign in 1896. The members of the
committee, however, were opposed to
suoh action and when the meeting ad
journed no progress had been made
toward cementing the contending factions.
SILVKB DICK BLAND FBESIDES.
The convention was called to order at
noon by John H. Carroll. After prayer
by Rev. Dr. Berry, Mr. Carroll made a few
remarks whioh had a tendency to har
monize the contending factions. He then
introduced R. P. Bland as temporary
chairman.
Mr. Bland congratulated the Demo
cratic party upon this auspicious gather
ing of the Democratic hosts for action
upon the free silver quest'on. He said
that the Demoorats of Missouri had met
to renew their pledges for bi-metallism.
"The Demoorats of Missouri," he said,
"send greeting to the Demoorats of Illi
nois with regard to the declaration al
ready made on this subject. We have
met," he continued, "to deolare for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1, and we will do what our constituents
have sent us to do."
MISSOURI EDIIOBS HEARD FEOM.
Col. W. F. Switzler, of Boon, repre
senting the free silver Democratic editors
of Missouri, who met at Sedalia recently,
addressed the convention, pledging the
support of the editors in the fight for the
white metal.
After Col. Switzler concluded, the con
vention adjonrned until 2 o'clock.
The committee on permanent organi
zation deoided to make the temporary
organization permanent.
A resolution providing for an increase
in the number of state committeemen,
adding a member from eaoh congressional
district and four at large, was introduced.
" 'thing was done by the committee on
re. jlutions during the recess.
STLVEB DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS.
Fort Worth, A state convention of
Silver Democrats is being held here to
day to boom unlimited coinage. Ex
Oov. Hogg and Hon. Frank Lubbock will
speak. The general attitude of the sil
ver . Democrats of the state is pretty
clariy expressed by the resolutions
adopted by the Austin, Travis oounty
convention, whioh read: "We believe
that when the national Democratic con
vention of 1892 declared: 'We hold to the
use of both gold and silver as the stand
ard money of the country and to the
coinage of gold and silver without dis
crimination against either metal or
oharge for mintage,' the platform com
mitted the party and its chosen leaders
to at least a fair and impartial trial of
the two metals, and that these two money
metals have not been fairly and impar
tially treated by the president and Sec
retary Carlisle can not be controverted."

: Boston, Aug. 6. Mrs. Annie M. Gard
ner, of Arcadia, Neb., the delegate to the
Christian Endeavor convention, who so
mysteriously disappeared, Is not dead.
She went under the name of Dorothea
Mansfield. Everything now points to a
deliberate plan on her part to abandon
her hnsband and three children and be
gin life anew under a new name. This is
more peculiar because her domestic life
was supposed to be especially happy.
She applied at a well known teacher's
agency for a position and secured a

THE OUTBAOE WAS DIABOLICAL.
Hong Kong. Iu an interview to-day
with some of the survivors of the Ku
Cheng massaore, they declared that the
outrage was most diabolioal in manner
and was evidently a premeditated and
carefully arranged attack, entirely unpro
voked, made upon the occupants of the
missionary station while asleep. The
bodies of the victims were buried at Fu
Cheng. There are threats of further mas
sacres at places nearer Foo Chow than Fu
Cheng.
AMERICAN MISSION 1HJBSED,
Shanghai. The Mercury to-day pub
lished a dispatch from Foo Chow, saying
that the position of Europeans is critical,
owing to the open hostility of the natives
and native officials. It is added that if
an outbreak occurs the native officials
will be unable to cope with the mob.
Fukhein province is said to be in a state
of rebellion and the American mission at
Fung Fnk has been burned. Europeans
and Americans have telegraphed for gun
boats to protect the foreign settlements.

from Consul General Jernigon: "Shang
hai. Haxon, U. S. oonsul Bt Foo Chow,

at Fung Fnk has been bnrned. Details
of the Fa Cheng massacre are horrible.

A FOOL'S ERRAND.
A Pacific Const Crank Proposes to
Tackle a Toagii Tank.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 6. A special
telegram from Santa Barbara says:
Alex Molver Tyndall, the oelebrated
mind reader, proposes to undertake a
feat nevor before attempted in this coun
try. This is to be buried alive for ten
days', at the expiration of whioh period
he promised to rise living and breathing
from the grave. Tyndall's proposal is. to
be plaoed in a hormetioally sealed casket,
being first covered with clarified butter,
called by east Indians Gee, sealing all the
pores of the body, eyes, mouth, ears and
nostrils. This work is to be performed
under the eyes of prominent physicians.
Tyndall is especially anxious to seoure
the supervision of Dr. Hall.
The oasket is then to be plaoed six feet
under ground on the Arlington hotel
lawn, covered with earth, grass seed
planted Bnd permitted to spring above.
Trusty men are to keep guard over it
day and night, when at the expiration of
the tenth day it Bhall be disinterred and
opened in the presence of physicians who
had witnessed the interment.
The experiment is modeled after the
feats performed by a famous east Indian
sect. The Arlington hotel proprietors
have accepted the proposition and in
tend making Santa Barbara the center of
scientific attention of the world during
the period of Tyndall's burial.

BOARD OP EQUALIZATION
Valuation of Surface Grounds of Mines
Placed at 85 Per Acre.
The New Mexico board of equalization
held a protracted sossion last night and
haB been industriously at work all day.'
Col. A. W. Harris, manager of the fa
mous Illinois mine at Kingston, made
his appeal to the board of equalization
good. The county commissioners of
Sierra oounty, in addition to the taxes
prescribed by law, attempted to tax the
properties of the Illinois Mining com
pany also as real estate, based upon the
value of the ore the mines of that com
pany are supposed to contain and upon
the Btatemebt of receipts, etc., in the tax
returns. This, Col. Harris maintained,
would be double taxation and the terri
torial board sustained his view, and di
rected the county commissioners to tax
the aoreage of tho company's claims at
$5 per acre, the government price tor
mineral land.
The same rule was applied to the sur
face grounds of the Virginius mine and
the mines of the Standard Gold Mining
company, of Sierra county.
Iu response to urgent requests from
prominent temperince people in the town

FLOODS DOING DAMAGE.
A Disastrous Cloiul-lmrst iu Tijeras
Canon Near Albuquerque Another
Flood at Silver City.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
cloud-burst deluge struck Tijeras canon,
some ten miles above Albuquerque, and
resulted in considerable damage to farm
lands and crops down tho valloy. A
flood thirty feet deep is said to have re
sulted, and a number 6f settlements along
the creek below the village of Tijeras
suffered. The flood spread out over the
low lands and inundated something like
a mile of the A., T. & S. F. road bed. As
far as can be learned no lives were lost.
OVEB-DBAWN FLOOD STOBIE8. 1
Mr. D. C. Hobart, secretary ot the terri
torial board of equalization and pro
prietor of the Tremont hotel at Silver
City, tolls the New Mexican that the ac
counts of the damnge by the recent flood
at Silver City have been greatly over
drawn. Ho thinks that the damage will
not exceed $G0,000 and that most of the
snfferers will soon recover their feot. The
sum of $1,400 was quickly raised to clean
up the streets, and this has been so ex
pended that evidences of the flood have
nearly all been removed. He adds that
too much praise can not be bestowed
upon Mayor Fleming and Marshal Cant-
ley for their untiring efforts to restore
order.
BIIIFTINO THE UOAD-BED.
Engineer Mead, of the A., T. & S. F.,
arrived from Silver City this morning
and was out bright and early hunting up
a transit with which to survey the spurs
dnto the penitentiary and capitol grnnnds.
Floods account Tor the loss of Mr. Mead s
transits just as they do for a great deal
of vexatious trouble tho Santa Fo road
has been subjected to during the past
four weeks. Last Saturday Mr. Mead
was engaged iu relocating the lino for
the Silver City branch, lie took a dou
ble team and drove eight miles down the
valley and after completing the task he
sent two of his men back to town with
the team, and in the vehicle were his
transit, plats and books containing sur
vey memoranda. Then another flood
swooped down the valley. The team was
caught up and carried 1,500 feet down
stream where it lodged; tne men barely
escaped with their lives; one of the horses
was drowned and everything in the bug
gy, transit and nil, was carried down
stream. Remains of the caBe containing
some of his instruments were found
seven miles down the valley, but the tran
sit is supposed to be buried in the sand.
Mr. Moad says tho Santa Fe company
has locnted a new route for the Silver
City branch and it is being rebuilt on
higher ground, following the edge of tho
foot hills near Whitewater. At some
points the line is shifted three miles
away from the former road-bed.
BIOBM AT LAS VEOAS.
For three days past heavy storms have
broken about Las Vegas and vicinity. It
is recorded that two inohes of rain fell at
Gallinas Springs; a dam was washed away
and an orchard badly damaged. John
Whitmore in attempting to cross the
river on horseback unexpectedly went in
over bis head. Fortunately a sand bar a
littlj way below arrested the force of the
current and permitted his getting out
safely. Lightning struck within 100 feef.

The dam at the ranch was washed away.
