The Great Battle On.

WASHINGTON Oct. 19.-The Mobile
Register lottery case is on the docket of
the United States supreme court for argu-
ment to-day, in the event of the justices
deciding to hear arguments without full
bench being present. The briefs have
been filed both for the lottery company
and the government. The contentious in
opposition to the constitutlonality OF the
law, in brief, are that the power vested in
congress to establish postoffices and post
roads is limited by the first amendment
forbidding abridgement Of speech or OF
the press; that the anti-lottery act
abridges this freedom of the press, and is
unconstitutional because it makes con-
gress and not jury the judge Of the
criminality of the subject matter of the
publication, and does not first require
that jury shall. as in a case of obscene
matter, find the publication immoral as a
necessary preliminary conviction and
that the act is moreover an attempt on
the part of congress to prevent one of its
legitimate powers as to accomplish pur-
pose entirely outside of federal jurisdic-
ton, viz: The suppression of lotteries
within state. Assistant Attorney Gem
eral Maury, who prepared the brief for
the United States, in his argument takes

Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. II am farmer, one Of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched In a shower of rain. !
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since.

The Raia Wizard.

KANSAS Cry, Oct. 1S.-It is believed
the Rsinmakers Melbourne has played a
trick on the signal service observers, who
are much mystiied over a rain which fell
here yesterday morning. The indication
for the past three days have been clear
and warmer. At 6 O'Clock there was not
cloud to he seen anywhere, but at $50
1t was pouring down rain, with a heavy
wind and thunder. At 7 o'clock it was
again clear and there was no depressions
of the barometer. The observers say
that the rain was purely from local causes.
1t is now asserted the rain was due en-
tirely to the efforts of Melbourne, the
rain maker who, it is alleged, has been
working secretly here for the past three
days and whose work was crowned with
success

NEW MEXICO LIVE STOCK
Oficial Data From the Census Office Re
specting Great Industry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 18.-The cen
sus Office report on tie 9th range dis
t'ict says:
The territory OF New Mexico constitutes
the 9th district. The white grama grass
abounds on the levels, and buffalo and
black grama grasses on the hills and low
mountains but large tracts of fine grazing
lands are unavailable for lack of water, in
which one-fourth of the grazing area of
New Mexico is deficient, though to con-
siderable extent this difficulty has been
met by wells, artificial pools and reser-
voirs. In 1880 the ranges of New Mexico
were but sparsely covered with stock, and
fully 13, 900, 900 acres, or one-sixth of the
whole area of available pasture lands
were unoccupied. The territory is now,
as a whole, more densely occupied with
stock than any other grazing region, ex-
cepting the range portion of Texas, and
stockmen have complained of overstock-
ing more than in any other range district
The territory seems during late years to
have been the recipient of surplus cattle
from Colorado, Kansas and Texas, and it
is estimated that 100000 head of cattle
were sent back to southwest Kansas and
the public land strip during the fall
season Of 1890 for the purpose of securing
food and temporary ranges.
The western portion OF the territory is
less densely stocked than the eastern
half, and has suffered but little from that
cause. Almost every county contains
mountains, elevated table lands and
mesas, foothills and rolling and level
areas of land. A scrubby growth of cedar
and pinon abounds in the canons and
upon elevated regions.
Aside from the wants of the cattle
ranges but little attention is given to the
raising of horses. They consist chiefly of
small ponies of Spanish origin and no
exclusive horse ranch was reported.
The sheep industry in New Mexico is
extensive and profitable, as the dry eli
mate, soil and short buffalo grasses are
apparently we'll adapted to this husband
ry. The territory contained large focks
Of sheep when acquired from Mexico, and
the industry has been an important one
since. Large f1ock-owners usually place
about 5000 head in charge of two shep-
erds, who move from one locality to
another, living in tents or temporary huts
and subsisting mainly on meats from the
flock. A supply of cornmeal and salt
the remaining fare, and few
sheep pelts their chief bed. They live in
primitive simplicity, satisfied with meager
wages. Their constant companions are |
the shepherd dogs, while the docile burro
is their dependence for transportation of
camp supplies,
The district has 54,J95 horses, 1, ,191
mules, 1904 asses, 1,054,022 cattle,
| ,225, 1924 sheep, 7S5 swine.

VIII Give it Up.

SAN DIEGO, Texas, Oct. 1.-THE gov
ernment rain-making expedition, under
charge of John 7. Ellis, is still hard at
work trying to make clouds come and
drop rain over this country, From z
O'Clock yesterday morning until late last
night they kept up heavy firing. The
result was an unprecedently heavy dew,
but not drop of rain. Ten soldiers from
Fort Bliss under command of Lieutenant
S. Allen Dyer are working as hard as they
could if real enemy was in sight and
the mortars are hurling twenty-one pound
bombs high into the air and the earth is
trembling from the conclusion. If rain
comes tomorrow the rain-makers will
probably have other engagements to fill
here and in Mexico. If to morrow be
dry the members of the expedition will
60 back to Washington. The present in
dications are for dry weather.

MT. PLEASANT, Pa, April 2-The
deputies who took part in the riot were
all full grown, experienced men, and
they were armed to the teeth. A more
deliberate arrangement for contem-
plated trouble was never made. Last
night Superintendent Pickard sum-

formed them into line and examined
the firearms OF each one. He then pre-
sented each with a Winchester rife,
drilled them in the use Of the weapon
and ordered them on duty. When they

Blaine's letter to Marquis Imperial,
made public yesterday, is very strongly
commended by men OF all shades OF pol

pressed that it will bring the Italian
Government to q calmer consideration
Of the matter. There Is considerable
public indignation expressed at the atti-

Americans who have long been citi-
Esns OF the United States, and who are
now taking sides with the Italian Gov
eminent and demanding satisfaction.
There is feeling that II these men are
American citizens and have taken the
oath Of allegiance to the United States,
they are no longer subjects OF Italy,
whose duty tits to take arms in her de-
fense.
Representative Farquhar, Of New
York, speaking OF the correspondence,
said he believed Mr.. Blaine's letter
would appeal to the good sense Of every
foreign nation.

only comment he wanted to make on
the episode was that the letter was high.

WARRINGTON, D. O., April 2.-The
treaty with Italy to which Baron Faya

following interesting paragraph:
Article XXI. II any fatality which
cannot be expected, and which may

And it Is declared that neither the pre-.

article, but on the contrary that the state

provided and during which It's provi-

most acknowledged obligations in the
