New Mexico's Growth.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-E. G. Ross,
governor of New Mexico, in his annual
report. says that compared with the ag-
gregate acreage of the territory these
grants are not large, but comprise several
thousand holdings. The greater portion
of these claimed grants are but lily de-
fined as to exterior boundaries, and in the
increasing pressure of settlement the I'M
occupied portions are liable to be settled
upon and endless and serious f%rictions
ensue which will become more serious
from year to year so long as legislation for
settlement Is delayed.
The governor devotes considerable space
to discussing the subject of irrigation. He
says that of the 10. 900, 900 acres area of
the territory, 60, 900, 600 may be classed
as tillable with irrigation. The bill now
pending before congress for the admission
of New Mexico provides that $50, 900
acres of state lands shall be devoted to
the establishment of reservoirs for irrigat-
ing purposes. This the governor thinks
would be ample for the purpose and en-
tirely satisfactory.
The population of the territory has in
creased during the year about 10000, and
the aggregate value of taxable property
is $40, ISL, 900 The progress made in
agriculture during the year is very marked,
and substantial progress has been made in
educational interests.

Patients Attracted by ouackery.

A Paris magistrate had recently sum-
moned before him a man charged with
practicing medicine illegally. The ac-
cused, to the great surprise of the mag
~istrate, Immediately produced a diploma,
and went on to explain that patients were
attracted to him ''by the semblance of
illegal practice" and expressed his ap-
p~rehension hat his business would be
ruined if his legal qualifications were
known. There are some things that can
be explained only on the principle of
total d~epravity, and this seems to be one
of them.-Once a Week.

adjourned

WASHINGTON. Oct. l6.-After the ap-
pointment OF the house members Joint
committee to investigate the alleged mis-
management in the Washington acque-
duct tunnel matter, Oates of Alabama
called up his resolution for final adjourn
ment on the 18th Instant, and offered an
amendment fixing the date the 18th.
Sowden of Pennsylvania moved to make
the date the oath, and Richardson of
Tennessee moved to refer it to the COM
mittee on ways and means.
Oates said he lad previously offered an
adjournment resolution and it was referred
to the ways and means committee and
never reported back.
Mcmillan of that committee said that
every Democrat in the country admitted
it a wise thing hat the committee did
not report it back. Had the resolution
been passed congress would adjourn be-
fore the senate committee reported the
tariff bill, and the house bill would have
been fired at the campaign. Now the
senate admitted there should be a reduc-
ton of S73. 000, 900.
Breckenridge of Kentucky moved to
postpone further consideration of the res
olution until to morrow, which was agreed
to-23 to Gland the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Governor
Church of Dakota, in his annual report,
says there has been a gain in the %popula-
ton of the territory during the year of
2,346, with total populations of GAO, 1913.
The quantity of land newly filed on and
purchased for settlement during the year
is $500, 900 acres. There is an awakened
interest in all that pertains to education,
an increased number of pupils in the
higher and special schools and with a
marked tendency towards one general sys-
TEN of schools Tor the territory.
The governor ~incloses the report of F.
R. Carpenter of the school of mines,
which states that the mining industry in
the Black Hills is taking on a new life.
As to the discovery of tin In the Black
Hills, the governor remarks that there is
not to-day a producing tin mine nor a
pound of Dakota tin in the market. The
governor renews his recommendation that
the law preventing aliens from acquiring
extensive tracts of land be amended so
that capitalists or money corporations can
loan money In the territory on land and in
case they become owners to be allowed a
certain time in which to dispose of it. In
conclusion he again urged that Dakota be
as a state into the Union.

Two Days More in Indiana.

LAFAYETTE, Oct. 16.-The Blaine party
arrived in this city at $40 this afternoon.
About 5000 people greeted the distin-
guished visitor at the station although the
weather was disagreeable and the streets
we're muddy. 1t was Blaine's desire that
there be nc demonstration on his arrival
and in charge of 4 committee he was
driven direct to the residence of MI.
Brown Brockenbrough. Sixteen stops
were made on the trip from New Albany
to Lafayette, a distance of 200 miles. A
conservative estimate of the number of
people gathered at the stations en- route
and the terminal place places the figures
at 10000.
Extensive preparations have been made
for to-morrow's demonstration and if the
weather is pleasant it is calculated that
from 10000 to 30, 900 people will be pres
ent. The historic battlefield OF Tippe-
canoe, where the demonstration occurs, is
seven miles north of the city. Gen. Alger,
ex-Secretary of the Navy r. w. Thomp-

Cartwrtght,s Idea of IL.

INGERsoLL, Ont. Oct. I6.-Sir Richard
Cartwright addressed his constituents here
tonight. In reference to the difficulties
now existing between Canada and the
United States he said conservatives
pointed out federation of the colonies as a
solution of the difficulty. So far as Can
ada is concerned if federation was to be
considered at all we must be insured in
some way or other of the firm and lasting
friendship with the United States, who
ought to be and who, he hoped, would be
at no distant date true. and staunch allies
of the mother country. The reform party
proposed to recognize the position frankly.
If the people of the United States were
convinced thatCanada entertained friendly
feelings toward them there would not be
the least difficulty. The reformers pro-
posed to break down the barrier between
the two countries and thus give the people
what some of the most rabid of his oppo-
nents were forced to admit was their nat
ural market.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In the course
OF a long speech read very rapidly Cock
rell contrasted the positions of the W
political parties as between the question
of ultra protection and that of moderate
rates of duties. He argued against the
Republican policy as incorporated in the
senate bill and quoted from speeches of
such men as Senators Allison and Wilson
of Iowa in past years in opposition to high
protective duties, while on the part of the
Democracy he denied hat it was a free
trade party and read an extract from
Blaine's Twenty Years in Congress- to
show that no proposition for the estab-
lishment of free trade had ever been seri-
ously made in the United States. In
connection with his speech Cockrell filed a
communication from the commissioner of
internal revenue to the effect that the
removal OF the tax on alcohol used in the
arts and sciences would lead to extensive
frauds on the revenue, as it would not be
difficult to demethylate wood alcohol and
make it fit for consumption.
Allison questioned the correctness of
the commissioners statement and said
that the system of using methylated
spirits in the arts was allowed in England
and Germany and that concurrent testi-
mony in these countries was that spirits
could not be demethylated except by dis
tillation.
Vest asserted that wood alcohol could
be converted into pure whisky, aud said
that within the last three days he had
seen a process carried on with a machine
that cost only 500.
Allison said that if the senator from
Missouri had such a machine he could in
his bureau drawer manufacture whisky.
Vest asked Allison to use another form
of expression and not to speak of the
machine as his Vest's). He had seen it
in the Office of the internal revenue COM
missioner.
Spooner of Wisconsin, next addressed
the senate. lie excused himself for read
ing from a prepared speech, but said his
speech consisted largely of extracts from
testimony given by boards of trade and
other bodies before the English parlia-
mentary commissioner showing that the
results..of free trade IN its home were not
satisfactory and that there was a clamor
for Its overthrow and a demand for its
abandonment. He intended to prove, he
said, that under the influence of free
trade in Great Britain there had been for
twelve years past, with slight intermis-
sions, serious depressions in industry and
trade and depression of agriculture which
defed a parallel. As against this he
pointed to the marvellous growth and
prosperity of the United States under the
protective system. The object lesson thus
afforded, he said, was unanswerably in
favor OF a protective system and against
trying an experiment that would hamper
the well being of labor and the growth and
development of the country.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

A Berlin physician, DR.. Ernest
Flothow, was consulted by a patient
who was troubled by severe headaches.
The PHYSICIANS inquiries revealed the
fact that the patient had been given to
an immoderate use of snuff. The snuff
box was produced, and a microscopic in
vestigation showed hat it was swarming
with bacteria, which appeared in the
form of a fine whitish powder. These
parasites, it is stated, bore into the walls
of the nasal cavity, where they multiply
rapidly and finally find their way to the

Enthusiastic Everywhere.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 16.-In ac-
%cordance with the announced programme
Judge Thurman and party took the regu-
lar train for this city. At the Indianapo.
lis depot a hearty cheer was given by the
crowd there assembled as a Good
Speed" to the Judge and party.
Arcadia is a small station whose Demo-
Gratis had telegraphed ahead asking for a
brief speech, and when the train came to
a stop a couple of hundred cheering peo-
pie were in waiting with banners. With
out waiting for an introduction to the
people, whose cheers showed that none
was needed, Judge Thurman and Gov
ernor Gray spoke briefly.
Among the banners in the crowd was
one with the pictures of Cleveland and
Thurman with notices under them.
This caught Judge Thurman's eyes and
when Governor Gray concluded he point
ed to 1t, saying: There is the best thing
L have seen yet" Give us four years more
of honest government. THAT is the
thing; that's the banner. Under that
you will march to victory"
AT Atlanta the crowd cheered for Thnr-
man and Gray. AS the train pulled out
one enthusiastic shouted now holler
again" and they did so.
-Four or five hundred people stood in
the rain at Upton and cheered enthusi
astlcally. Judge Thurman responded.
AT kokomo a crowd of fifteen hundred
on the tops OF freight cars, on platform
and on the track cheered again and again.
Judge Thurman simply had time to
thank them before the train started.
Another crowd equally as large and every
bit as enthusiastic greeted the Judge at
Peru, where the private car was coupled
to a Wabash train. Judge Thurman and
Governor Gray both spoke briefly.
When Wabash was reached a crowd of
one thousand cheered at the sight of the
Judge who introduced Governor Gray and
they shouted more than ever. Five hun
dred Andrews people and as many more
at Huntington showed their Democracy
by, hearty applause at tue sight of the
judge.
Several thousand people at the Fort
Wayne depot, headed by the Hendricks
club and band gave a most enthusias.
tic greeting. The party we're at once
taken in carriages to the Wayne hotel,
where another large crowd gave them a
welcome.
The Judge is in good health and Is ex-
pectlng a big time tomorrow.
