Terrible Punishment in Africa.

A recent telegram from Bechuanaland re-
lative to the supposed massacre by Lo Ben
lulo, the king Of Aatabeleland, of 500 men
proves to DO exaggerated The truth is as
follows: Mr.. Fred Seton, the celebrated
hunter, with some English friends, Mr.
Jameson, Of Dublin, Capt Fountain and
another, who were on hunting expedition
70 10 Benqulo's territory, were away in
Aashoualand after big game, accompanied
OF body guard OF $50 Matabele warriors
under an Induna Their duty was, while
ostensibiy acting as guides, to watch the
white hunters and prevent their leaving the
actual hunting grounds, and, above all, t.
thwart any attempted gold prospecting. The
latter attraction, nevertheless, induced the
whole party to deviate from the hunting
grounds toward the northern gold fields,
prospecting by the way. The Induna neglect
ing to prevent this, one of his followers, fear
ing the consequences, returned and informed
10 Benqulo, who dispatched regiment to
administer the inevitable punishment. The
Eng's messenger overlook the party and
communicated the death sentence, which
was Immediately carried out. AL the $50
natives died without nurmur, the mode OF
execution being two spear thrusts and blow
from knobkerrie. The English hunters
were simply cautioned and conducted back.

Weather for the Eskimo.

To speak briefly OF the temperature the

it is not that which he likes the best, and in
which choice he hns decided preference,
Taking it all around, l would say that at
about 20 dess. 10 50 degs. below zero leaning
toward the latter if any, with little or No
wind blowing at the time, and the sky clear

given rise TO more expressions Of satisfaction
from the Eskimo, as far as l observed while
among them, than any other. / mean this,
OF course, as relating wholly to the weather
itself, unaccompanied by any other condition
than that Of temperature, for the Eskimo

TuriIna's Bazanr AIbubuerque.

The immense arrival of carpets al John D. Torlinas Bazaar exceeds anything heretofore seen in Albuquer- que, being truly wonderful. Of every grade, quality and kind from cheap ingram, to the finest Wilton Velvet, ranging in price from 35, SC, $, cents to SI ,oo, SI.1o, Brussells from 7sc per yard to SI.35 with Velvcts and ax minister in proportion. Torli mas Bazaar will fill any mail order by giving size of room, and dimen, sions when correctly taken; sews the the carpet to fit and ready to be put down. When ordring state choice o colors and figure whether large or small in patterns, and you may res, assured you will be perfectly satisfied. The one price system of the Bazaar established for the past six years, en ables persons miles away to buy goods at the same figures as if they were present, and a six year old boy car buy as cheap as a man. Everything is plainly marked and you can see at a glance what each article costs. Send hlm an order and be convinced of the low price al which goods are sold.

Stringent Circulating Medium.

At Holbrook, Williams, Kingman and other points along the line of the X. & P. R. R. there is general com plaint of scarcity of money in circula- tion. Go to the merchant who makes this complaint, with a bill for collec- tion and he will pay you in check on the Albuquerque National or the First National bank of Albuquerque. As circulating medium the check is of no value to you or to the community until it has been sent to Albuquerque for collection, or, some. note shaver has cashed it at discount of one per cent.
 The fact is that every man who has enough money, to start a bank account seems to possess penchant for send ing his money to Albuquerque and the result is that the Albuquerque bank lends 1t to an Albuquerque merchant who buys goods with it, which he sells to the depositor at an enormous profit, while the railroad town is left without enough money in circulation for the purposes of legitimate traffic.
 It is high time for business men to realize this fact. Our local banks are entirely secure, and managed by liberal men who aim to aid the busi- ness interests of the section in every manner consistent with safe business methods. Let our local merchants deposit with local banking institu- tions and there will be less complaint of stringency in the circulating medium. Bank balaHces would be loaned to local men and our own communities would receive the benefit of the money used in the channels of trade.

MASON,S MESS.

On the subject of Mir, Masons report
 and results of similar reports from spe'
 cial agents of the Mason calibre, the
 Los Angeles Erbress says;
 The dispatches announce that suits for trespass on government lands have
 been brought against the Aver Lumber
 Company, and it's successor, the Arizo,
 ma Lumber Company, whose mills are
 located at Flagstaff, Arizona. It is one i of the peculiarites of the system of es-
 pionage which the government main
 tains in the Interior Department that
 the Special Agents" usually decayed
 politicians sent out from the East, find
 it necessary to report something to the heads of their offices, or they are not thought to be earning their money. The Special Agents, as we have stated, are for the most part political exiles, bankrupt at home in means and repu- tation, and their condition is not un. frequently alleviated on these Western shores by resort to blackmail on a grand scale. We know of honorable exceptions, but too frequently such is the rule of conduct of the Special Agent" of the General Land Office. We are not acquainted with the particulars surrounding the Flagstaff case, but we predict that the charges will be proven unfounded. The Aver brothers, who founded the Aver Lumber Company, are among the most respected and wealthiest citizens of Chicago, who nev- CT before have been charged with dis act. They sold out a year or two ago to the Arizona Lumber Com pauy, of which Colonel D. M. Riordan is the President and principal stock holder. Colonel Riordan Is known all over the coast as an enterprising, hon orable gentleman, who was a gallant soldier in the war and who has won his way from the ranks of those who work with their hands by his own intelligent and well-directed effort and through in- tegrity, to a position of influence and aftiuence. We observe that Colonel Rior- dan has demanded Q thorough investi- gation, from which we do not for a mo ment doubt he will emerge without a stain.
