Is HE DEAD?
VIM. Waither's Friends Believe Him
to Be So-Still Searching for
the Missing Sergeant.

Nothing has as yet been heard of Quar-
termaster Sergeant William Walther, of
Fort Marcy, who went to Lamy junction
on Saturday nights train to meet friend
en- route to Montana post.
VIM. Strowver, the representative of
Germania lodge, K. of p, who was sent
down the road to search for the missing
man, has returned, being unable to get
trace of him. He went by rail as far as
Albuquerque. Being alone and unfamiliar
with the country, he did not go on horse
back and search along the railroad track
between Lamy and Cerrillos. A joint
committee from the Odd Fellows and X,
of P lodges is to be named to perform
this duty, but first it was deemed neces-
sary to wire to Fort Assineboin Mont,
to Hospital Steward STRENGTHENING,
Walther's friend, whom he went to meet,
asking if he had seen or knew anything
concerning Walther. This telegram was
sent last night.
Many adhere to their original opinion
that Walther must have fallen from the
Train platform between Lamy and Ger
rillos and met his death. The night was
stormy one, four inches of snow fell
and it may be that he missed his footing
on the slippery platform, fell into a
ravine and his dead body concealed from
casual view by the snow. This being
possible, it is, however, singular that the
section hands, ever alert, should not have
discovered it. AT all events, his friends
expect only to find his body. They say
that death alone can account for his
absence. Others contend that he has de-
serted or wandered away in the noun
tains, victim of temporary insanity.
From no rational point of view is the de-
sertion theory tenable, for with little or
no difficulty Sergeant Walther could have
secured an honorable discharge from the
army. .... -.-,--,<-

POLL TAX AGAIN.
Every Voter Must Flash up His Dollar
Before He Can Participate in the
Next Months Election.

A Jerious question must be settled at
or before the election for justices of the
peace in the various county precincts of
the territory.
The so-called Paulin school law, passed
by the last Legislature, provides that be-
fore citizen may exercise the elective
franchise at a special election he must
have paid a poll tax of 81 for the n eur
rent year." and at general election the
payment ihHst be made sixty days pre-
vious to the date of balloting. The com
ing election for justices of the peace and
constables takes place on January 2,
1898, and is in the next current year."
The general impression is that the poll
tax paid for the recent November cleo
ton entities man to vote; but this fact
should not be left to guess work but
authoritatively determined at once.
Some well informed attorneys hold
that the tax can not be collected until the
assessor makes up the poll tax lists,
which would be some time in April. Hon.
E. i. Bartlett, solicitor general of the ter
ritory, has at the New MExICAN's solicita-
ton, carefully reviewed the law and the
opinions already rendered on the sub ject,
and says that words current year" in the
act have the ordinary meaning, and refer
to the calendar year, otherwise the law
would be ambiguous. 1t could not refer
10 the Fiscal year" because there are at
east four fiscal years for different pur-
poses in this territory; and the words
current year" can not be referred to any
1ne of them more than another. The .
aw evidently contemplates the pay
nent of the annual tax to be due and
ollectible between January l, and Dec.
Il of each current year, as a prerequisite
o the exercise of the ballot, and further
states that such tax shall be
'aid sixty days before general election.
Under this construction of the
aw any person who wishes to vote on
anuary 2 next for justice of the peace
must first pay his poll tax for the current
ear of 1898.
This is somewhat of hardship, pos
IDLY, but the payment of this tax now is
God for the whole year of 1898 and be- {
ides it increases the available county
chool fund just SO much.

10000 copies will be printed showing
the resources of the country. 1t will
be principally made up of letters from

These letters should show what you had
