Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1891-02-20

A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called
away from home for a few days; dur
ing his absence one of his children
contracted a severe cold and his wife
bought a bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for it. They were so
much pleased with the remedy that
they afterwards used several bottles
at various times. He said, from his
experience with it, he regarded it as
the most reliable preparation in use
for colds and that it came the nearest
being a specific of any medicine he
had ever seen. For sale at the Eagle
drug store.

There is a well founded rumof anoat
that the division Of Grant county isto
be revived, and that those who were
front and also foremost two years ago
in the Logan county scheme arc en-
gineering the job. And il further APP
pears from the most reliable authority,
that Silver City. stands in with the
deal. All this is radically wrong, and
the more so from tho fact that the re-
sidents of the northwestern portion of
the county, were not even consulted
in tho matter, but we're kept entirely
in the durk i'm reference thereto. No
occasion exists for a division Of Grant
county just now, except by a few gen
tlemen who are directly interested in
the scheme. When this county secures
a sufficient population and property of
assessed valuation to Justify the divi-
sion, there will be no objections offer
ed to making two, thr9e, or even four
counties out Of the present boundaries
of Grant county. We have all the ter
ritory requisite, but we lack the essen
tial ingredients. Grant county is as
large as some Of the New England
states. It's true, but it is not so dense
ly populated The people here, who
propose to have some voice in the mat
ter, are vigorously opposed TO any such
carving process as proposed. The vote
Of the western portion Of Grant county
on the division project, is emphatlcslly
NO. IL a division must be made how
ever, the northwest insists upon get
ting a large sized slice Of the pudding.

Blasts by the Bugler.

Last year some were chastised for
politics; now all is politics. Last year
sugar was Sl0.50 a sack now it is S.. So.
Last year was the first year for The
Bugler; this is its successful second
year. Last year it was good for ice
cream; this year the dry farmers are
favored. -
Last Monday gentleman was stroll
ing along near the Second ward meeting
house. Among the cobbles that line
the ditch he picked up a piece of ore
weighing nearly a quarter of pound
which was found to be almost pure sill
yer The rich nugget must have been
washed down from Box Elder canyon,
as it was discovered near the large
Stream which flows direct from the
mountains.
A huge land slide occurred last week
on the canal about two miles west OF
Bear River gorge. At this particular
point the canal is several hundred feet
above the riveI. 1t soaked and loosened
immense quantities OF dirt, sagebrush
and sand, weighing hundreds of tons,
cracked open, broke away from the
high embankment above and went tear
ing down into the deep river with a
tremendous splash. The impetus was
SO great and the amount of sand so
ponderous that tie great earthly ava
lanche leaped across the wide river
stopping the flow, forming quite lake.
People were enabled for hours to walk
over this sudden dam dry shod. A
large force of men has been engaged on
the canal break this week.

THE Blended WILLOW.
A Kansas Man Finds Hidden Wealth
by the Means of a Forked Stick.

4 NJ. Judson, of Kansas, was in
Provo yesterday, and amused num-
Der of men on the tabernacle block by
his experiments in finding precious
metal by the aid of a forked willow
The gentleman would walk off dis
tance, while a coin or piece of ore
would be hidden. He would then be
placed on the line of the ore, and as
soon as the willow would come directly
over either the ore or metal it would
Immediately bend, Notwithstanding the
fact that the gentleman kept tight
grip on it. He would allow any one
present to take hold of the willow with
him, in order TO show there was no de-
ception, but the willow would bend
just the same. Four different metals
were tried, and in each instance he
found ii without the slightest trouble.
His experiments were watched with
interest by large number of citizens.
Yesterday morning, in company with
F. w. c. Hathenbruck, he went up to
Slate canyon, and experimental With
the enchanted willow on Mr.. Hathen-
bruck's claim. He traced the ledge
for half mile up the mountain side,
and then pronounced it a heavy gold
bearing one, with small percentage
OF silver. He urged the working of the
claim by all means. Mr. Hathenbruck
has had several assays made from this
same ledge, and in each assay it showed
gold just as Mr.. Judsom stated

ably take to task the common Inethods
of entertaining the public "Milo Zip"
was around among the brethren taking

how he could stand the moral strain
requisite to the occasion. Owing to
Milo's press of business, he squeezed

The French naval Display.

PARIS, July 13.-French naval ma
neuvers in the Gulf of Lyons ended to-
day, in the whole fleet attacking Tou-
Ion. Minister Rib0t and Barley, mill
tary attaches of the American, British
and German legations, and many sena-
tors and deputies witnessed the attack.
Torpedo vessels and shore batteries de-
Tended the roajstead against sixty WAL
ships, headed by steel barbette which
was extremely formidable. After a
furious cannOnade the ships advanced
in one long line and broke through the
defences. Among the features of the
maneuvres was the use of balloons to
tow the steamers The official report
on the French maneuvres in the Med
itterranean concludes: The ironclad
during the three days maintained
without an accident high rate of
speed. 1t is incontestible that the
ironclad squadron Of inferior speed, if
attended by sufficient number of
light craft, can be kept informed of the
movements of a faster squadron, and
can thus be enabled to counterfeit the
eneuly's designs, hence it is advisable
to provide large swift cruisers.

Hartian Intelligence.

New YORK, July 13.-The Atlas line
mail steamer "Athos," from Port
Limon, arrived this afternoon. Late
in June the "Athos" touched at Hayti,
and according to her officers it was
learned that Fred Douglas, United
States minister to Haytl, had left his
post at POrt-Iu-Prince because the Hay
tian government did not care TO recog-
niZe the representative of the United
States, and it was rather the desire of
the BLACK Republic" to break off all
Intercourse with this country. The
Haytian government, it was said, fears
the United States, and in order to
avoid interference of any kind from
this guvernmemtwill sacrifice her social
intercourse with it.
Legitime was still at Kingston and
growing in favor. The Haytiaps prefer
HIM to Hyppolite, and only await his
word to institute another revolt.
The Athos" also brought news of
the extensive fruit importing cor
poration, known as the Baltimore
Fruit Co. This company maintained
fleet of ocean steamers between Phila-
delphia and Bluefields.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Acting Sec
Rotary of State Wharton regards the
reports brought by the steamer from
Hayti, that Minister Douglas left Port
Au Prince because the Haytian gov
eminent desired to break off inter
course with this country, as a pnre
invention. and says there is no reason
to believe any such condition of affairs
exist in Hayti.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Minister
Douglas, when shown the telegram to-
night, said to his personal knowledge
the Haytian government did not wish
to break off The intercourse with the
United States, nor did he believe that
the government was dissatisfied with
him as minister.

Ohio Democrats Preparing for work

Ohio Democrats Preparing for Work
CLEVELAND, July 13.-Delegat@s to
the Ohio Democratic convention are
rapidly gathering here. 1t is conceded
by all unprejudiced ones that Gov.
Campbell will be renominated on the
first ballot. His opponents are Law
renee 7. Neal of Chillicoth, and Virgil
Neal was the principal competitor, but
in a few hours the Kleine BOOM
let assumed proportions which makes
Neal APP, .arently the only formidable
opponent of Campbell. The logic of the
situation has caused all anti-Gdmp II
men to combine under the BATH r-'Y 0
anything to beat Campbell" and the
question was who was the most avail
able candidate? to this question now
there is little division of sentiment. 1t
is understood the anti-Cam pneiite
will struggle hard to create a nreak II
the ranks of the enemy, but the chair
man of the State Central committee to-
night believes that Campbell will be
nominated on the first ballot
The platform is the subject of much
discussion. 1t has been decided that
the party will stand by its position Of
a year ago on all leading issues. Il
commends the Campbell administra
ton, denounces the Republican Ma
tional administration, denounces the
Fifty-frst Congress for its first eXtrava-
gance, denounces the Mckinley tariff
bill, and demands reduction of tariff
taxes.
While the free coinage sentiment is
strong, there is lively opposition to
it, and many conservative Democrats
are urging that the financial question
be not made an issue at all.
