NEW MEXICO IRON.

CHICAGO, May ia party OF
eastern capitalists met here Monday,
and deal was made whereby a new
and very extensive iron field will be
opened up in the Hanover valley of
New Mexico, about 20 miles from
Silver City. The property has been
quietly secured and the men who
now own the 81 mining claims that
cover the deposit will put value
upon it anywhere from $l5,OOo,OO0
to $25,O00,OOO. Fifteen million tons
Of almost pure iron ore of the Besse-
mer steel quality are said to be in
sight and work has already been be-
gun on the highest development of
the property which include railways
and possibly smelling works to be
owned by the company.

We learn with sincere regret OF
the death of Col. Tom Oliver of Las
Vegas. He was an old-fashioned
Southern gentleman-a type almost
extinct land the world is none the
better for iD, and, bounded by pow
erty and the petty reconsideration
that accompanies it, he was through
the last years of his life, as he was
always, an honorable, self-respecting,
dignified gentleman, considerate of
the rights and feelings of others. He
was ashamed of no honest form of la
Dor, however humble, and took hold
of it as cheerfully to earn his living
as though he had never been the
friend of Henry Clay, and had slaves
to do his bidding. Aged, poor and
lonely, and with the burden of life
resting heavily upon his old shoul-
ders, he was quaint and pathetic
figure in the social life of Las Vegas,
and bore himself so well under many
discouragements that he had the re-
spect of all who knew him. Col o.
iver's intellect was of a very high or
der, and his information on a great
variety of topics almost phenomenal.
His companionship was pleasant and
instructive, despite the infrmities of
age and poverty, and the memory of
the brusque, kindly, querulous old
man will linger long and pleasantly
in the social circle he moved in

A BIG RISE LooKEp FOR.

KANSAS CRY, May 90 From
present appearances it would appear
that the floods of last week are about
to be repeated. Heavy rains in this
immediate vicinity and in Missouri
and Kansas have caused considera-
Bile rise in the Missouri and Kaw
rivers, and it is probable that the riv-
ers at this point and just across the
state line will continue to rise for a
day or two, for the present high stage
is due to the local rains only.

The celebration on Columbus Day,

The celebration on Columbus Day
| Oct. 18th, 1892, is commendable no
only because it will diffuse among
centers of American life throughou
the country the significance ant
spirit of a memorable anniversary
but also because it will practically
emphasize the value of the free
school, the most characteristic of ma
tional institutions.
Columbus was the greatest edu
Gator who ever lived, for he taught
mankind that human destiny extends
over the whole world. Because the
school house, like Columbus voyage
has been protest against popular
ignorance, and has done more than
anything else to make our free Amer.
lea what it is, surely this plan OF a
national celebration should be ap-
proved by all.
The great power that the Ameri-
can republic is in modern civiliza-
tion is due to the free school system.
Therefore the school house is the
proper place for celebrating the great
event on that historic anniversary,
Oct. 18th, 1892.
The plan is, to bring together all
the school children in the country, at
the same hour, to commemorate the
greatest event in the modern world.
The executive committee will furnish
a program, the aim of which will be
that certain leading exercises may be
the same in every school in the re-
public, and that the program at Chi
cago and the school program may be
identical at least in one feature.
The public school of Las Vegas
must not stand back in this matter.
There is no doubt but that the pu
pills of this school can carry out their
part of the program in a manner
which will reflect credit upon them
selves and their teachers.

LATE NEWS.
BAD MEN IN TEXAS.

DENIsoN, Texas, May 19.-Last
night was one of horrors in Denison.
Between l and $3.50 a. m. an unknown
assassin brutally and premeditatedly
shot and killed four women, two of
them leaders of local society and two
inmates of disreputable houses.
The first victim was Mrs. Haynes,
the wife of DR.. Henry f. Haynes,
one of DenIson's most respected citi-
zens, prominent in business and So
cial life. Mrs. Haynes, young and
very attractive woman, was assassi-
mated while alone in her home, or
else taken forcibly from it and put
to death by her captor just outside
and near her house. The residence
of DIR. Haynes is just outside the
city limits, on Woodlawn boulevard
two and onehalf miles southwest of
the city hall.
Five hours later in the very heart
of the city beautiful young lady,
Miss Teen Hawley, was shot and
killed by some unknown persons.
Miss Hawley was killed almost with
out a word of warning in the privacy
of her room in her mothers cottage
home.
Between the hours when these foul
assassinations occurred, in still an
other and far distant section of the
city, two women were killed by an
assassin's bullets. The last two were
inmates of bagnios.
The assassin shot and killed Mrs.
Haynes during the absence of her
husband at an Elk lodge. When his
victim was dead the murderer took
her gold watch and chain, diamond
ring and ear drops, and proceeded to
the Hawley residence, where he shot
and killed Miss Teen Hawley, who
was seated on bed with her mother
when the assassin's bullet came
through screen. The murderer
had previously entered the girls
sleeping room, from where she had
fled to her mother for protection.
The assassin then directed his steps
to the bagnio of Madam Rivers,
where he fred from the front porch
through a window, killing Maude
Kramer.
After this he crossed to the next
street, where he mortally wounded
Rose Stewart, who was about to re-
tire to her room at Madame Will
hams. This fatal shot was fred
from the sidewalk, the ball entering
beneath the right arm.
These four foul murders have cre-
ated intense excitement, which is in
creased by the fact that there is no
clue to the criminal.
Hundreds of armed men are search.
ing for the criminal, aiding the sheriff /
and county officers. Blood hounds
have been brought into service, but
so far without success. Several ar
rests on suspicion have been made,
but the guilty man is believed to be
still at large.

A world with no death in it would
seem, at first sight, glorious. But
perhaps it would be cold, unsenti-
mental world, with no love in it. II
those we press against our hearts could
never die perhaps all tenderness would
wither from the earth. The thought
OF death makes us charitable. The
knowledge that every erring mortal
must die, makes us forgiving. Life is
too short to be wasted in fruitless
chickering's and strife with your
neighbor. He has trouble enough,
goodness knows, without your trying to
add to it. One of the sacred duties of
every individual is to try to shed few
rays OF sunshine into the lives of others.

They may be rare, yet there are brave,
sympathetic souls who go through life
scattering sunshine and fragrance, to
whom the present is always the time
for action. Such people have found the
real secret of happiness. Out of a
heart overnowing with kindly impulse,
throbbing with the consciousness of the
brotherhood of man, these souls obey
the impulse of the Divine in themselves,
and the wedding feast is gayer, happier,
because they are there; their presence
cools life's fever of ambition, haste and
greed. In their presence the tongue of
slander, Misrepresentation, pique, is
silent, because they speak an unknown
language. The grave is but the body's
receptacle, so clearly do they see above
it, while the strangers who meet them
in life's journeyings feel their hearts
burn within them with new love, new
sympathies, new experiences. Never
to them is the neglected opportunity.
What man thinks of them is never
their standard of action, but ever
present before them is the measure of
Gods trust by the blessings and oppor-
tunities life gives them.

Mr.. Spurgeon says, "To keep debt,

alliterative trinity OF evils needs to be
carefully guarded against. "a man
who is in debt is a slave-toiling to meet
the demands of another. He cannot
call what he possesses his own. He
had better great deal have less, and
'owe no man anything, according to the
apostolic injunction, than to have
large possessions for which he il
responsible, but which in whole or in
part belong to another. A man in
debt is like person overheard, with q
great weight about his neck, with
which, by great exertion, he may reach
the Shore but which, nevertheless,
may sink him at any moment. But
whatever excuse may be made for men
going into debt, surely none can be
made for their living in dirt. Soap and
water are cheap, and brushes and
brooms are not very expensive"
