Mr.. Morehouse was a prominent
and widely known politician o.
Missouri and a man of more than
ordinary ability. He was elected
Lieutenant Governor on the ticket
with Gov. Marmaduke and upon
the death of the latter became
Governor of Missouri. After the
expiration of his official term, Mr..
Morehouse was a candidate fol-
Governor, and carried Audrain
county. He was defeated, however
by David r. Francis, the present

Griff Prather, a Missouri member
CT the National Democratic Com

defeat in Ohio because he and his
friends do not want Campbell to be
nominated for President, is with

a friend of Grover Cleveland, but
he is a Democrat. Any man who
is in any way acquainted with
Prather and his record, would not
intimate for a moment that he
would do anything at any time to
defeat any Democrat for Office from

The Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture tells the farmers how
to pick and pack apples. Here is
part of it: In gathering the fruit
see that every apple is picked by
hand from the trees and placed
carefully in a basket; if, while
picking, an apple drops to the
ground, do not under any consider
alton put it with the picked fruit;
for, although it may not then show
a bruise, if examined one or two
days later it is almost certain to
show a bruised surface. If an ap-
pie cannot be reached by the
picker it had better be left to hang
on the tree than to be shaken off
and put with the picked fruit. All
fruit that drops while picking Or is
shaken from the trees should be
placed by itself. After a few days
the bruised fruit can readily be de-
tected, and that which is perfect
can be placed with the picked fruit.
They Are Equal to the Emergency.
A patent has been asked for a de-
vice to take passengers on the Ca
BILE cars while the train is IN full
motion. So far as the device can
be understood from description it
is a sort of a platform on wheels.
The passenger stands IN 1t, the Ca
bic car comes along and automatic
hooks catch hold of the platform
and whirl it along to the next cor
ner. By that time the passenger
has taken his seat, and the plat
form is released and dropped for
the use of the next man. 1t may
be a great scheme, but most men
would about as soon be fired out of
a cannon as to be jerked up bodily
by a Car going at twelve. mile gait.
But it shows that inventors are
equal to any emergency that may
arise.

ter of fact these Araucanlans, as
they are called, are rarely under
six feet high and sometimes reach
eight feet,seven foot men being not
infrequent. Though mildly dis
posed, they admit no strangers to
their territory and by stubborn re-
sistance they have compelled Chilli
to let them alone. Fabulous treas

to be slowed away in their noun
tains, but prospectors who have
ventured thither have always been
driven away. They commonly
adorn themselves in rich and
heavy ornaments of these precious
metals. The greater part of Pa.a-
gonia belongs now to the Argen-
tine Republic, Chilli by treaty

bnt working in harmony with them, the

which may be here treated under the

people of all classes, not only in Albu-
querQue, but throughout both New Mex
leo and Arizona, and this, coupled with
its policy OF paying interest on all de-
posts from the lst Of the month which
are made prior to the 9TH of that month
has made it immensely popular all over
the southwest. This institution under
the pains-taking management of Mr.. A.
w. Jones and his assistants would re-
fleet credit upon any financial center in
the union.
The growth of Albuquerque in financial
strength as well as i'll population and
com mmercial importance has been steady.
Every new bank statement published has
shown a highly satisfactory gain. The
banking business affords good index to
every other line of business, and the ex.
hibits show that Albuquerque no longer
has any rival as the commercial and finan-
cial center of the territory.
AS A MANUFATu RING MART
the Duke city quite holds its own with
any competitor of similar population IN
the west. There are three iron and brass
foundries, the largest being connected
with the A. q p. Railroad company's
machine shops, which, by the way, employ
the year around over 300 men. The chief
private enterprise of this kind is owned
and managed by that sterling good citizen
and accomplished artisan, Mr.. R. P. Hall.
His foundry and also Mr.. Jacoby's were
destroyed by fire this spring, but-and it
demonstrates again the go.ahead-itive-
ness of the Albuquerque business man
in less than six weeks they had both re-
built and are to-day operating on larger
scale than ever. Mr.. Halls plant, which
is known as the Albuquerque Foundry &
Machine company, was established in
1856, and to-day, Notwithstanding his en-
la-ged works, he is unable to meet the
demand Of Albuquerque's trade in this
line of manufactures. The mining camps
are specially good patrons OF this institu-
ton. The main building covers ground |
space of 50xl50 feet, with all sorts of
smaller buildings clustering about it, In
q separate building are stored $40 GOO
v orth OF patterns and models. These

works employ from thirty-fve to forty
men, most OF whom are men of families
and are property owners. The pay roll
foots up about $50, 900 yearly, and last year
l47 car loads of raw material were con-
sumed at the works.
There are also in Albuquerque three
first-class flour mills in constant opera
lion and enjoying their full share of pros
perity. The mill of Mr.. Musard, cut of
which is elsewhere shown, is perfect
institution, equipped with the latest roller
process machinery, and the energetic
owner draws his grain supply from the
better class of producers in Bernaillo,
Valencia, Taos and Santa Fe counties.
His special brand is pride OF the Rio
Grande," popular manufacture which
enjoys an extensive demand.
In other lines of manufacturing, such
as planning mills, harness and shoe con-
Germs, two steam sausage plants, the
mammoth Crystal Ice plant, ably man
aged by w. II. Hulvey, and numerous
other smaller manufactures just budding
into life, Albuquerque can boast full
supply.
But the city begins to feel now tie need
Of other institutions Of this kind and its
people, led by the progressive men of the
Albuquerque Commercial club, are pre-
pared to present facts and figures and
grant the most liberal bonuses for the es-
adjustment there of such institutions as
a wooden mill, a tannery and a smelter.
The location is peculiarly advantageous
for these.
Take, for instance, the woolen mill. OF
the II 100000 pounds of wool produced
annually in New Mexico Albuquerque
merchants handle at least four-ffths of it.
The figures from the A., 7. & S. f. freight
office verify this statement, for they
show that during the year ending
July l, 1891, Albuquerque wool
shipments amounted to 9,247,3S6

"Another sporting feature, and one in
which all property holders are especially
is the fireman's races. We offer $3.50 in
