During the late blizzard immense
snow storms prevailed in the cattle
herding regions of New Mexico, fol-
lowed by intensely cold weather. Cat
tie mon are of the opinion that large
numbers of cattle will perish in the
cold and snow. The fall OF snow is
unprecedented for that country. In
the Western part Of Kansas the fall Of
snow was very heavy and cattle men
will be heavy losers. The railroads
have suffered severely in all parts of
Colorado, and large numbers OF men
and snow plows are employed in NOV
ing the drifts. The thermometer in
Northern Colorado ranged from 20
to 80 degrees below zero,and at Ten
nessee Pass, on the western slope of
the Rocky Mountains, not far from
Leadville, it marked 81 below.

The Fort Worth Gazette comes out in this

The Fort Worth Gazette comes out in this
wise againt the lottery swindle:
at ia a well-known fact that the people of
this state send away every month tens it
may be hundreds--of thousands of dollars
TO swell the Golfers of lottery company in
a neighboring state. The extent of the evil
no man can estimate. No state can prevent
Its people from buying lottery tickets, but
il newspapers are prohibited from pnblish-
ing the advertisements of lotteries tho evil
will be lessened Texas Is losing immense
sums of money every month from this cause,
and some of it can be saved by restricting
the publicity of lottery schemes through
newspaper advertisements
We have an idea that the newspapers Of
the state could do more to abate this nuisance
than oil the legislatures in the land. Lot
them resolve en- n,asSe not to publish its ad-
vertisements at any price and see how long
II would live II don't cost much to talk
against this swindle neither does tho talk
do it much harm, but let every paper in the
state agree to refuse its advertisements, and
then we will think they mean business.

the president of the National Press Associ-

In many instances the opium eating hab-
it has been contracted through tho use of
narcotics, prescribed by physicians during
sickness, Many remedies which claim to
cure coughs contain morphia or opium, and
it can be easily understood what bad effect
they must have on children. The new rem
edy-Red Star Cough Cure, is entirely free
from these dangerous ingredients, and the
mass of testimony which has already been
collected in its favor from all parts Of the
country is proof of its wonderful purity and

HAZARDS BEREAVEMENT.
The Wife of the Secretary of State, Heart
Broken at Her Daughters Death. Joins
Her in That Better Land.

The Wife of the Secretary of State, Heart
Broken at Her Daughters Death. Joins
Her in That Better Land.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-Again is the
secretary of state stricken with terrible
bereavement. Two weeks ago yesterday his
eldest and favorite daughter, Katherine,
died without the slightest premonition, and
this morning her mothers death occurred as
a result of the shock. Mrs. Bayard has been
a partial invalid for some years, and has
leaned upon Katherine in social and dones-
tic matters.
Katherine had charge of the household,
superintendent the education of the children
and relieved her mother of thousand and
one cares, attending a large family and OH
cial and social prominence.
Last summer Mrs. Bayard lay for several
weeks at the point of death. She was given
up by the rhysicians, but gradually grew
better, until she was able to receive her
friends almost up to the hour of her daugh-
ter's death.
The circumstances attending that calamity
were so shocking that Mrs. Bayard scarcely
realized them, and for nearly a week after
she seemed to be in a condition of mental
bewilderment.
On Saturday week ago she seemed first
to fully realize what happened, and broke
completely down. The commissions of grief
which followed, resulted in brain fever.
Since Wednesday she has been delirious-
most of the time and for twenty-four hours
previous to her death was unconscious.
Mrs. Bayard was Miss Lee, of Baltimore
and her family was of social and CONNER
cial prominence.
She was married thirty-one years ago this
winter and has had twelve children, being 81
years old at the time of her death. Her re-
mains will be taken to Wilmington and
buried beside her daughters.
Mr.. Bayard is entirely broken down, and
there are fears his health may be impaired
by the terrible shock.

Important Ruling by Land Commissioner
Sparks.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 29.-In reply
to the various questions in respect to the
rulings that General Land Office Commits
sioner Sparks has made public, letter has
been received in which he says: 'My de-
cision holding that person who has made
ard perfected pre-emption entry, cannot
afterwards commute a homestead entry,
since that would be equivalent to two pre-
emptions.
1t is not expected it should be affirmed.
1t is now on appeal to affect cases finally
settled under the previous ruling and con-
veyance, after final entry, and before patents
are held to be legal and allowable as be-
tween the parties; but their effect as to claim
against the United States depends upon the
validity of the entry.
The only questions before this Office in any
case, are whether the entry was made in
good faith by qualified party, and If the
law has been complied with, and the score
tary of the interior has requested the attor-
ney general to institute suit to cancel the pat
ents of the land grants in Mattel county, Cal,
he holding that the surveys of said grants
were SO manipulated as to embrace a large
body of public lands over which public sur
veys had extended in pursuance Of decision
of the United States supreme csurt. In the
matter Of the Deharo grant, the title to sev-
eral thousand acres i affected.

from the operations of the bill. This excep-
ton was demurred to by Mr.. Anderson, Of
Kansas, who could see no reason why tie
Gulf d Ship Island road should be singled
out and thus favored. The amendment was
rejected. Adjourned.
In the house, on January 2Sth, the speaker
presented letter from the secretary of
state giving list of the employees of his
department, and stating that it would be
impossible to dispense with the services Of
any of them. Weaver, of Iowa, introduced
a bill organizing the territory of Oklahoma
and open unoccupied land thereon to settle
ment. The committee on military affairs
reported favorably bill to restore officers
to the army in certain cases. This would
include the famous Fitz John Porter case.
Appropriate resolutions were then consid-
cred concerning the death of Reuben Ell
wood, of Illinois. Out of respect to his
memory the house adjourned.
In the house on Friday, January 10Th, nu--
merous measures were considered in COM
mittee of the whole. Among the measures
considered was the bill providing for tho
payment of the "Fourth of July" claims. It
was explained that the bill compr sed 933
claims divided among eleven states and one
territory and it would call for an expendi-
ture of $292, 900 The committee on labor re-
ported favorably the bill attaching penalty
for any government officer letting contract
u any party WHO Will cL1plOy COu5lCt idDOr.
In the house, on February LIST, Hanback,,
of Kansas, rose to a question of privilege,
but was ruled out of order. Mr.. Mattson
having secured the floor, moved to suspend
the rules and put upon its passage the bill
increasing the pensions of soldiers widows
from IS to $12, with an amendment provid-
ing the act shall apply only to widows
who were married to the deceased Sold
iers prior to its passage, and to those
who may hereafter marry prior to orl
during the service of the soldier. Carried, (
ayes 1913, nays G5. Under the call of
states Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, offered, for
eference to the coinage, weights and meas
ures committee, a resolution calling on the
secretary of the treasury for information as
to whether any arrangement had been effec-
ted by the treasury department with the
clearing house committee Of New YoEN-
to prevent the circulation of sill
yer, and, if so, by what authority
of law the department assumes to virtually
suspend the coinage of silver by boarding
the money in the treasury. The resolution
also calls for information as to the amount
of silver dollars in the treasury unrepre--
scented by outstanding certificates on the 4th
of March last, and what is the amount to-
day; also what amount of interest bearing
debt is now subject to call, and what policy
IS to be pursued in the payment of silver
thereon and other dues. Adjourned.
