OF the novel and the artistic in decorative
design. The building of this concern is
fairly illustrated apropos of the occasion.
Long streamers of bunting hang from
the festooned caves to the DRAINED
windows. Immense crayons, draped
with bunting. and gigantic mottos. var

An elderly gentleman was dining at a ia

a newspaper, which he had comfortably
arranged before him, as he was eating his
dinner SOthern walked up to him, and

The old gentleman growled reply, and

said:

THE name OF Senator Aucheta is
being f%avorably mentioned as a can
didatc Of member Of congress. The
territory could DC hunted high and
low and a better deligate could not be
found. Last winter Senator Ancheta
made a reputation as being a man who
was in favor of and would work for
coed government, good schools and an
honest administration Of the
public finances, and from the
position he took on these subjects
he could not be driven by the fear Of
the shot gun In the hands OF an assas-
ia nor by the Establishments and
promises OF the head OF the church.

II is claimed that oneof the curses
Of New Mexico is the land grants and
the uncertainty Of the title to lands.
Recently a man named Wooten went
20 tue land Office and found that a
certain piece of land near Albuqucr-
que was not taken up. He filed on 10.
The surveyor generals office showed
the land was on a grant which is
claimed by would be Congressman
Otero and Assessor Armijo OF Bern
allilo county. Wooten lived on the
land short time and last week was
found dead with a good portion Of bis
head blown away. No clue has been
found to the murderers, but the inn
preston obtains in Dernallilo county
that it is not safe for an American to
attempt to take up under the laws
OF the United States n piece of land
which is claimed as a grant by one OF
the g%randees. There are no grants ia
Grant county. The comfy was not
named in honor Of the land grant bat
