There are many kinds Of headaches, but in
these lays the nervous headache is very dis
tinct variety. 1t is generally located III front
Of the hea'l, across the forehead over tho
eyes. 1t may be in other parts, tlloush-at
the top of the head, at ono or both sides, at
the back, or all over. 1t is painful delress-
ing, disabling. Physic by itself is of no use
There is not single drug known to medical
science which will of itself ut once and per-
manently cure n nervous headache. On tho
other hand, drugs arc not always needed. a
complete change Of air and circumstances
will usually take away the pain in ten or
twelve hours. Perfect rest, of II duration
proportional to tho severity and long contn-
uanco of tho symptoms, will make the euro
permanent. There are of course methods Of
relieving and diminishing the pain until such
time as it may be possible to obtain the com
plete rest. But the rest is the thing to be Sc
cured at all costs. a nervous headache is n
danger signal; if it be fre4uent the danger is
increased, and if continuous, a catastrophe is
imminent. Rest, immediate and sufficient,
is the sovereign remedy. Two weeks at once

OFFICIAL BITS.

The state constitution is now in the
hands OF the printer and will be issued in
about one week. 1t fills from sixteen to
twenty columns.
Under the new law the constable of q
precinct is made the collector of the poll
tax, he being clothed with the power to
levy on personal property.
The appointment for solicitor general
for the territory still holds fire. The
curbstone has it that no appointment is
likely to be made for at least eight days.
The territorial daily press generally
commends the appointment of Col. D. B.
Abrahams to be superintendent of the
penitentiary, and has also kindly word
for Mr.. Burnett.
Judge Morrison yesterday received Of
fetal notice OF his appointment as regis
ter OF the local land office, and is also in
receipt Of blank bond. He will pro-
coed to fill it out at once for $4,000, and
in two weeks will be ready to take charge.
Judge Walker is now in Coltax county
preparing to remove his family to his
ranch some forty miles east Of Ration as
soon as Mr.. Morrison qualities and as
sumes charge Of the local land office.
Judge Walker made very faithful Off
cial and all Santa Feans regret to lose
him and his excellent family rs residents
Of the capital city.
Gov. Prince is still at the east, never
losing chance to say good word for
New Mexico. In the course of half
column interview in the Rochester, N.
Y, Democrat-Chronicle, he says of the
recent state constitutional convention:
1.-THE convention was great success. 1t
was composed Of the best citizens Of the
territory, and was as fine a public body
as / ever saw. The constitution adopted
is an admirable one, having all the best
features OF the newest constitutions, and
especially strong provisions in regard to
the public school system"

COST OF CORN.
big Drop in Prices and what 1t Teaches
Our Farmers.

Mr.. W. 3. Dobbs, leading commission
merchant at Marion, Kas., is in the city
en- route to San Pedro. He furnishes
much OF the hay and grain consumed
there and at Cerrillos, and has been do
ing steady business with Santa Fe mer-
chants ior years, He doesn't care to
transact business this trip, however, for
he finds that Santa Feans, whom he con-
siders pretty sharp class Of merchants,
are to day buying corn in Nebraska at
IA cents a bushel and laying it down in
their stores here, shipping over the mar
row gauge, at the remarkably low rate of
OF cents per hundred weight. Mr.. Dobbs
doesn't understand how this can be done
but it is so, just the same. That, too,
when the grain has to pass through the
hands of two parties before it reaches the
Santa Fe dealer and must be transferred
at Colorado Springs from the broad to the
narrow gauge cars.
This fact ought to set the farmers OF
