A Change Desired.

There is general desire on the
part of the people all along the line
from Knoxville to Maryville that u
depot for getting of and on the
railroad coaches be made at or near
the Clinch street crossing. As 1t
would accommodate the passenger
travel of the X. &. r. r. If Gener-
al Hood, the President Of the road,
desires an expression of the people
they will be glad to give it by petit

as do not meet the wants of our peO.
pie who wish to 60 to Knoxville on
business and return on time.

recognized in Birmingham, Deca'

were afraid to attempt his arrest
as it is we'll known that he has
already killed more than q dozer
officers and baffled the skill of pro

terror to the railroad men and t.
the country generally. There is
reward of $500 offered for his cap

Keep the Streets Clean.

In years gone by, when my home
was in another county, and l occa-
sionally visited Maryville, which
then did not contain one-half the
Inhabitants that 1t now does, and
many Of the buildings were old
fashioned and some Of them dilapi-
dated; still 1t was a Joy to me to
see Main street, which was really
beautiful then as 1t is now. On
leaving the town the beauty Of that
street fingered with me, and when
I was away and thought of Mary
Vile my mind pictured in an at
tractive manner that pretty street,
clean, straight and lovely. But
now, how that beauty is marred
especially in the business centre
by old papers carelessly swept from
houses, and permitted to roll on
the streets, soaring horses and en-
dangering lives; together with the
piles of dirt and filth thrown out in
front of houses, and sometimes per
mitted to remain on the sidewalk;
and cutters. / fear that strangers
visiting US will carry away very
unpleasant impressions of our peo
pie who have such good houses 10
Gated on a street where nature has
given US such advantages ant
beauty, an yet in the midst of i
all find piles Of dirt and the street
filled with such quantities Of waste
and refuse papers. l wonder If oul
business houses would object tC
keeping the street in front of thei
places free from the debris tha
collects there?

A Dog That Prints a Paper.

Printing presses are usually run
in this country by steam power, by
water power, electric motors, and
by main strength and awkward
ness; but the the machine that
grinds out The Plain City Dealer is
run by dog power. A large wheel
about ten feet in diameter and about
two feet in width Is connected with
the drive wheel OF the press by
means of a belt. Cleats are placed
about a foot apart on the inside
Of the wheel, where "Joe" the jour-
nalistic dog, walks his weary round
and thus causes the wheel to re-
volve. Joe has run the press fol
about Ave years, and has faithfully
earned his hash every week. 1t Is
now about time for him to die and
60 where good dogs always &c, and
the proprietor Of the Dealer is cast
ing around for another canine

SIMPLY THE BEST!

1t is no longer experimentwe have tested it and
know that very large proportion Of East Tennessee
prefer to patronze that keep first class goods
and sell alike to all at reasonable prices We have,
beyond question: the prettest and best lighted store in
which to display the finest stock Of Mems and Boys
Clothing in the South.
We are candid in statements believing every word
to be strictly true-though we have no quarrel either
for our neighbor any honest reader who may think
we exaggerate. f
We cannot expect the consumer of cheap cotton suits
to appreciate the value Of our highgrade Wooen Gar
ments any more than we could persuade trade that
wants the finest products to buy and clumsy COT
ton suits. We buy and sell TRASH as cheap as any
body, if we would but prefer to handle it at ALL
The manufacturer Of trash argues "there large pro-
fit in it." Certainly agree; but LARGE PROFITS and
poor value never built up large business. Several
years ago tried to sell very fine and very cheap goods
at the same time, but it didn't work right We havet
since pushed out the tras and sales just about
doubled. While we won't sell "shoddy" stuff at any
price, purchasers will find our medium priced suits 1T

WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, y. G, Oct 25, 1889.
The President having disposed Of
the perplexing question OF who
should be Commissioner of Pensions
to the satisfaction Of himself, and
of the party leaders, as far as heard
from, has devoted his entire time
this week to preparing his message
to Congress. say his entire time,
by that I mean his official time, he
has considered no other official
matter.
Gen Raum, the new Commission.
er Of Pensions. is moving very care
fully. 1t is not his purpose to make
any changes until certain of his
grounds. Just now he is en-
gagged, and is likely to be for
some time to come, In &C.
quainting himself with the work OF
the Office. 1t is generally believed
that as soon as he gets things In
shade many offial changes will be
4, made, several of them involving
the most important positions In the
Bureau. Gen. Raum's record as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
leaves no doubt that his admins
tration of the Pension Office will be
entirely successful.
Secretary Blaine has devoted
considerable time this week to a
rigid investigation of charges
made against w. R. Lewis, U. 8.
Consul at Morocco, Of extorting
money from certain parties for Un-
tied States protection In Algiers.
Mr.. Lewis, and his accusers-na-
tives of Algiers have been present
at the investigation, the result OF
which has rot yet been made pub
lie.
The President has been compell-
ed by q press Of important business
here to decline an invitation to at
tend the laying Of the cornerstone
of the Soldiers and Sailors monu-
meht at Brooklyn, N. Y. which Is
to take place on the 80, inst.
Representative-elect Taylor of
Illinois, is here with his bride. He
says the Illinois delegation Is solid
for Mr.. Cannon for Speaker and
that they believe his chances Of
election are as good as anyone
else's.
Mr.. Halford, the Presidents pri.
vate sec retary, has gone to Fort
ress Monroe for few days before
actively resuming his arduous du-
ties. His health is very much i'm
proved and his physician thinks
the sea air will complete the cure.
May the doctor prove a true pro-
phet.
Chief Justice Fuller evidently
knows a good thing when he has
possession of it, hence his positive
refusal to allow the use of his name
in the scramble for the empty
honor of the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination in 1892. $10,5OO q
wear for life is not a snap picked up
every day, and the shrewdncss ac'
quired by a long residence in Chica'
20 has made the Chief Justice
fully approve Of the ancient adage
"a bird in the hand, ETC."
Washington's real boom for the
Worlds Exposition of 1892 began
on Wednesday, when representa-
tives from nearly every state In
the Union met here for the purpose
of arranging memorial to be pre-
sented to Congress in favor of this
city as the proper location for the
great celebration. The memoria

THE NEW BRIDGE.
A Citizen Who Can See Beyond the End
Of His Nose Makes Point.

To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, June 12.-As a citizen Of
Santa Fe, interested generally in all that
pertains to the improvement and growth
Of our town, | ask space in your paper to
suggest the propriety of hurrying along
that proposed new bridge across the Santa
Fe and connecting Ortiz street-leading
south from the First National bank-with
the capitol ground. There seems little
hope at present of opening the new street,
even to an intersection with Manhattan
avenue, but nevertheless that bridge
should be Immediately attended to.
Every resident OF the capital of the terri
tory should be concerned in this, for every
citizen OF New Mexico who comes here
and has business at the capitol now curses
the lack of enterprise which the failure to
erect this bridge indicates. The constitu-
tional convention will meet at the capitol
in few months, and then the bridge will
be an absolute necessity. Let US take
time by the forelock and have it ready for
use at an early date.
By the way, could not the capitol com
mission take some interest and help in
this matter? And, while about it, allow
me to suggest that the penitentiary COM
missioners could serve also by directing
the inmates to get at work Immediately
on this new street. PLAZA.

THE HEERDEGEN TEST.


Capt. 7, ". Collier, OF the Ration
Range, is here to attend the Republican
committee meeting and meet old friends.
He speaks most cheerfully of the probable
outcome OF the wells located on the Max
we'll grant by Prof. Heerdegen, the Rus
sian scientist. At the Ration well, located
by this gentleman's wonderful instru-
ment, the bore has been put down 100
feet, and there are now ninety feet of
water in the cavity. Water was found
where the Russian said it would be, and
the next step is to test its permanency.
Supt. Dyer has been authorized by the
A., L. 5. +. company to sink a big well
at the Ration shops, but before he under
takes this he desires first to satisfy him
self that this ninety feet OF water Just de-
veloped is not surface water. Mr.. Dyer
contends that it is surface water, while
Prof. Heerdegen combats this idea, and
urges that test be made. He con-
tends that the water is permanent and that
the company's pump can not lower it be-
yond sixty feet, at which point it was
first struck, according to the professors
prediction. To make thorough test,
not only of this particular well but also
with view of demonstrating whether or
not Prof. Heerdegen's invention can ac-
complish all that is claimed for it, Supt.
Dyer has ordered huge force pump to
be sent to Ration and set up on this well.
The pumping machinery is now on its
way to Ration and ere many days will be
in operation. The result of this test will
be looked for with the greatest general in
terest.

Ii. G. Rasmussen is up from Cerrillos

E. Weed, of Aspen, Colo, left this

Gov. Prince and q party OF Santa Ft

Thos. P. Gable left Cerrillos yesterday

business affairs and come back to become
q citizen of Santa Fe county.
Col r. M. johnson left this morning
for Cerrillos, thence going to San Pedro,
where the new smelter enterprise will be
discussed with the owners OF the Lucky
mine.
Somebody is going to utilize the great
deposits of fire clay found near Cerrillos.
An earthenware plant, in view OF an ear
ly demand for irrigation pipe lines, ought
| to do we'll down there.
Building operations are seriously inter.
rupted at San PEDRO by the scarcity o.
building material. Both saw mills are in
full blast, vet can not fill the orders. All
sorts of houses are being built.
It is barely limited as yet, but seems to
be we'll founded, that a party of New
Workers. is figuring on some plan to de.
velop a vast water supply for Golden:
The rich placers in that locality would
well repay the promoters of such scheme.
Messrs. John II. Knaebel. ?. l.. Van
derveer, H. s. Clancy and Capt. Gregory
Barrett left in q government ambulance
this morning on trip to Cerrillos, Dolo-
res and San Pedro. They hope to be in
Dolores when the new gold mill makes
it's start.
The latest from the Lucky is to the
effect that the mineral is increasing in
richness as depth is attained in the tun-
mel. A part Of the force was laid off on
Monday until the new shaft is opened.
In about week a larger force of miners
than ever will find room to work in this
mine.
