Governor of New Mexico.

It is with the greatest of pride we allude to the fact that the President has appointed Hon. E. G. Ross, of Albuquerque, to be Governor O! New Mexico. A practical printer by trade, he and the writer have delved side by side at the printers case. A public man from nature he will be an execu tive that our sister Territory will love for his fairness, ability and good judg- ment. He will know no north, south, cast or west in the discharge of his duties in his domain, and cliques and rings, which have inflicted New Mexi- co for many years, will sink into ob- liyion. We congratulate New Mexico upon her good fortune.

Mothers Should Note Thls.

Under this caption an old physician writes to Cincinnatimedical journal that in view of the fact that people living at a distance from cities are frequently obliged to report to cough mixtures already put up tor use, they should provide themselves with such remedies as are known to be free from oplates, poisons and narcotics; thus avoiding not only danger, but even fatal results. He recommends the recently discovered Red Star Cough Cure which analysis and tests by var ious boards of health proved to be purely vegetable as well as prompt, effective and entirely harmless.
