Culvert had
urned Out
On Saturday evening disaster
to the north bound train on the
N. M. C, was averted only by
the watchfulness of the engi
neer. JNear milepost iMo. bó a
bridge or culvert was discovered
ablaze, and investigation proved
that the structure was almost
totally destroyed.
flDrll Showers
Now on Tan
About eiget o'clock last night
a nice shower of rain fell in town,
which settled the dust and fresh
ened things up. Showers had
hung around different portions of
the valley all afternoon, which
will prove a help to growing
crops, especially the wheat and
oats. Farmers have been busy
getting the seed into the ground
and only come to town when ne
cessity demands. The outlook
for a splendid crop was never
better.

GET $3,000 IN
POSTAGE STAMPS
The postoffice at vHealdsburg,
California was dynamited Sun
day night, the safe being blown
open by robbe'rs, who succeeded
in making their get-away with
something like three thousand
dollars worth of postage stamps
of various denominations. .An
effort has been made : to connect
the jail birds, who recently escap
ed from the Albuquerque jail
with this crime, but in vain, as
these parties have hardly had
lime to cover the distance and
make good at such a job. Officers
are on the trail of the criminals,
but nothing definite has transpir
ed in the way of real clues.

Do Babies Pay?"
Each night when I go borne from work,
Tired with the toil of the day,
A little tot is waiting for me
To drive the care away,
And then she toddles down the walk
And meets me at the gate,
And I forget I'm tired out
Then she begins to prate:
"0 papa, I'm so (fiad you tome
I fink you're awful nice
Say, papa, how rauch did I tost,
And am I worf de price?"
She tells me what a "splendid time"
She's had "wif dolls and toys"
A perfect little chatterbox,
Chock full of life and joys.
And every evening she and I
When suppertime is o'er,
Can hardly wait until we've hid
A ronjp upon the floor
Then as we tuck har into bed,
She says, ''tome ties we twice
And, papa, how much did I tost,
And am I worf the price?"

Pleads for Indian Girls
Miss Estelle Reel, who twelve
years ago was apppihted by Pre
sident McKinley superintendent
of Indian schools, probably knows
more than any other white
woman about her copper-colored
sisters.
"The Indian woman will stick
to a drink-sodden husband till he
drops dead, or she does. The
government is fighting the whis
ky evil on the reservation with
every weapon it posseses.but the
Indian brave will drink when he
wants it and can get it just as
the white man does A squaw
knows nothing of divorce; she
would not listen if you told her
of it."
According to Miss Reel there
is but one method to help the
Indian woman; that is to educate
her from childhood along indus
trial lines. Until a few years
ago there was absolutely no fu
ture for the Indian girl except to
marry. That was the first thing,
provided she could find a decent,
energetic, ambitious husband;
only there are so many of the
other sort
Hospitals which have trained In
dian girls are making a constant
effort to enlist others of the
race. She has infinite patence,
forbearance, generally a magnifi
cent physique and no trace of the
"nerves" which so often cause
breakdown among over civilized
races.
An Indian girl can go through
that the child might have been
in hiding here. Local photo
graphers have been engaged by
the officers to make views of the
building and its surroundings,
as well as the locality and vicini
ty, where the meeting took place
and the ransom , money paid
over, in hopes that some clue
might develop whereby the of
ficers might yet be successful.
While not saying much, the
officers of the Mounted Police
and Santa Fe Railway, are
working along every clue which
presents itself . Apparently Cap
tain Fornoff has some idea that
there will be something doing
shortly. He was a passenger on
the 2:10 train, but refused to
give his destination, merely
saying that he would return to
morrow night, when he might
have something to disclose. All
posses have returned to the city.
A careful search of the Rogers j
home has failed to offer any clues
not heretofore taken up. '
STATEHOOD
AT SPECIAL
SESSION
In conversation with General
C F. Easley yesterday, the
General said that he had infor
mation that Statehood would be
taken up by Congress at the
special session, and that in all
probabilities the constitutions of
both Arizona and New Mexico
would be approved before ad
journment. The General added
that he was positive that New
Mexico would only come in, at
the same time as does Arizona,
the prevalent idea among the
statesmen being that as the peo
ple of both territories had adopt
ed their constitutions by large
majorities, Congress had no
choice in the matter, except to
approve them unless they were
found to conflict with the terms
of the enabling act or the feder
al constitution.
Pugii Has
Fine SDeitz
E. H. Pugh, five miles west of
town, reports a fine stand of
speltz and wheat on his farm.
He says that while he has only
two acres of the speltz', it stands
about six inches or more in
height, and is as thick on the
ground as can stand. He sowed
his last fall, using only thirty
pounds of seed to the acre, but
the open winter and plenty of
moisture has caused it to stool in
fine shape, Speltz is supposed to
be sown in the spring, but this
has proven that our winters, at
least the past, are hone too se
vere for this grain. Fed both
as grain or hay, speltz is rated
very high as feed for horses,
cattle and swine.

cases of severe illness she seems

foce and is a tender as well as a
painstaking nurse.

Drove Fine Team
tóJMe Gity
George Spence and son of Car
rizozo, drove overland to Albu
querque, passing through Estan
cia yesterday. They were driving
as fine a team as has been seen
on our streets in some time,
which they valued at six hund
red dollars. They expected to
dispose of the team in the Duke

Lecture Next
Wednesday Niolit
The lecture o n Wednesday
evening at Adams Hall by the
Reverend Father Hartmann of
Santa Fe on "Catholicity" prom
ises to be a treat. Everyone is
invited to be present, as the
lecture will be instructive as
well as entertaining, not only to
those of the Catholic church,
but to members of other denomi

the time and place.
School Directors Chosen
At the election for - school di
rectors for Antelope district, J.
W. Wagner, L. A. McCall and
H. E. Ludwick were selected as
the board for the coming year.
This is a re-electio.i of the old
board.
Evidently there is still some of
the coin of the realm circulating
in this vicinity, despite the dry
