No CheMfen1a.

1N THESE DAYS when food adulteration is eo common. it is a comfort to find an article for the table that is thoroughly reliable. Walter Baker & Co.'s breakfast cocoa is eminent in this limited class. No chemicals arc used in It's manufacture and it is absolutely pure. It forms moreover a delicious and healthful drink, as refreshing and more nutritious than tea or coffee, and free from the injurious effects that those beverages sometimes produce. And 1t is very cheap withal. The house of Walter Baker 6 Co. has maintained for more than 100 years great and honored repute by the OK. cellence and puri of it's manufactures.

Killed His Child and Himself.

Edward Dietz, a laborer, killed one of his children at Pittsburg, Pa., a little girl, three years of age, and then cut his own throat. The deed was the outcome of Mrs. Dietz's re, fusal to allow her eldest daughter. who was living out as a domestic, to come home. Dietz wanted the wife to live out and the daughter to take her place. After driving Mrs. Detz and the children from the house, Dietz sent message to Lena that if she did not come home in an hour he would kill every one ill the family. She did not obey him, and the refusal of tho others to return probably alone prevented the nonstsr from putting hia tAipAt into uxvsvNon,

The Critical Situation of an Iron
 Roof Workman at Bridgeport.
 John Bourke is an employee of the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Bridgeport, Conn.,, He was at work in that city on the roof of Warmer Brothers -four story brick corset fac tory at an hour near lighting up time. The roof has steep pitch, and was covered with sprinkling of snow. Bourke lost his balance and slipped down the steep roof. He clutched at the slippery slating, but his rapid slide toward the edge was not stopped until half his body had passed the caves He then caught hold of an electric wire which runs along the edge of tho roof. The electricity is supplied by n dynamo in the factory, and is used to light the shops. The wire is but partly insulated, and before Bourk could crawl back onto the edge of the roof, the cleo tric current was turned on. Bourk uttered the most piercing screeches. Hewas unable to let go, and could he have done so he would have dropped about forty feet to the ground. It was several minutes before ladder could Dc raised and rescuers could drag him of the wire. His hands were burned and lacerated, and Bourke was so badly hurt that he had to bc carried into the Seaside Institute to be re- suscitrted

Before the hur- rcane burst every precaution had been taken by the commander of the Calliope to render the vessel secure. Five anchors had been dropped, but when the storm was at it's height four of the anchor chains snapped and the vessel began to drift. The captain then determined to leave the reefs, and, if poss- bic, reach the open sea This he eventually succeeded in doing, working his way out at the rate of half knot an hour.

ENORMOUS FORTUNES.

 The wording of an advertisement is an all important matter.
 Clearness, attractiveness, brevity and sin cerity must characterize any announcement intended to catch the public eye and appeal to public confidence. An advertisement in- serted in London journal a few days ago brought instant and multitudinous replies accompanied by an almost unlimited supply of bank notes, simply because it touched the chord of nature which makes all mankind akin. Its simple pathos and self-evident truthfulness appealed to every heart.
 The advertiser sought for a lost relative. and, giving his name, said: II am ill and frlendless. My last half crown is expended in paying for this advertisement Write me at -(givng the address). As already stated, nearly every one who read the announcement hastened to relieve the necessities of the suf ferer-a real sutferern this case, though many swlndles are perpetrated in the divine name ol
 Thus it is with a really meritorious com nodity or preparation; if it's virtues be prop erly and truthfully set forth in the public press, its success is prompt and certain.
 On the other hand, the public is quick and unerring to detect deception and charatanry and, accordingly. no amount of 'pufery" will force vile nostrum into public esteem and patronage. Untold sums have been sunk in vain efforts to advertise into popularity so- called medical preparations which did not ea1n f~u them.
 Valuable medicines, however like Warmers Safe Cure and Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapa- rlla, carry their own best commendation in their power to cure the particular diseases for which they are a specific.
 They require no labored panegyrc to con- vince the people of their power and efficacy, for they have been tried and found perfect.

IT is highly interesting reading, that
effort OF the Santa Fc MugWumps to con
clliate the Democrats. The Republicans
! of this county fail to see the good sense OF
such move on the part OF the Santa Ee
Mugs.-Albuquerque Citizen.
In the first place there are no Mug
wumps connected with the Republican
organization in Santa Fe. The men who
act for the Republicans Of Santa Fe are
btried and true in the faith There are a
great many good Republicans in Berna-
lilo county, but there are not many in
Albuquerque. The majority of the So
called Republicans there can always be
trutifully designated as Mugwumps. The
crowd supported Ross in his acts as gov
ernor, no matter how illegal or detriment
al to the territory; they supported BrinI-
er rs judge, no matter how partisan and
unfair his decisions, forsooth, because one
OF their number perhaps was appointed a
jury com missioner. Out upon such Re-
publcans. Our esteemed contemporary,
the Citizen, can have all in this line from
now on. Ready. Talk about Republi-
cans OF Albuquerque Bosh Wera it not

lilo and in the county precincts where
would they be? How we apples swim.

THE Denver Republican commends
Gov. Princes action in addressinga letter
to the people OF New Mexico urging them
to prepare all possible data and facts foI
the use of the senate committee on irriga
ton and lands. The Republican remarks:
Gov. Prince, OF New Mexico, has issued
a proclamation, or letter, to the people of
that territory. In it he requests them to
collect facts and prepare opinions and
suggestions upon the general subjects OF
irrigation, water storage, etc, and forward
them to the senate committee on rri2a-
ton at Washington prior to July 20
This committee was appointed for the
purpose OF investigating the question OF
irrigation and water storage. In con
nection with this investigate it will
visit the arid region during THIS summer.
1t will probably hold sessions in several
western towns and cities. OF course all
the information obtainahle would he OF
advantage to the committee and enable ii
to make its vestigatiOns all the more
thorough. For this reason Gov Princes
suggestion is a most excellent one. Ii
would be well if 1t were acted upon
throughout the arid region. With respect
to documentary information, much OF it
sent from one place would, doubtless, be
duplicated By other places, but this would
make but little difference, for it would
only add a little to the labor OF the com
mittee's clerks i'll arranging and asserting
the documents sent in.
