HaIpeT's Weekly.
ILLUSTRATED.

Harper's Weekly is acknowledged as stand
ing first among illustrated weekly periodicals
in America. 1t occupies place between that
of the hurried daily paper and that of the less
timely monthly magazine. 1t includes both
literature and news, and presents with equal
force and felicity the real events of current
history and the Imaginative themes of fiction.
On account of its very complete series of illus
trations of the Worlds Fair, it will be not
only the best guide to the great exposition, but
also its best souvenir. Every public event of
general interest will be fully illustrated in its
pages. It's contributions being from the best
writers and artists in this country, it will con-
tinue to excel in literature, news, and illustra-
tons, all other publications of its class.

wATRous ITEMS.

The town of Watrous was visited
by one of the severest hail storms
ever experienced in that locality. 1t
commenced about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon of Friday, and in less than
90 minutes there was not a whole
pane of glass left. The hail in places
was over l2 inches deep and the
streets deluged with water, rendering
them impossible for several hours.
The trees were almost completely
demolished of their foliage and
smaller branches. The storm was
rendered worse by the terrific thun-
der and lightning which accompanied
it. Both the rivers have been very
much swollen, especially the Mora,
whose waters spread far over its
banks, causing great deal of dam
age to both crops and fences and i'm
peding traffic altogether. Saturday
morning the waters were abating
fast and crossings could be made in
buggies and on horseback.
Senator.J oseph L. Mott arrived in
Watrous this morning, and reports a
general heavy rain in his district, but
no storm or hail;
Colonel Woodburn has returned
from fishing expedition, and ex-
presses himself highly pleased with
the trip.
Governor Hadly has been making
important alterations on the Clyde |
ranch; the work is done under the
direction of Mr.. Ellis.
Mr.. Weber has returned from st.
Louis, where he went a few weeks
lgo with two carloads of blooded
lorses. He says they brought the
op market price.
Mr.. Reikin is making preparations
or the Fourth, which he says he in
ends to celebrate on as grand a scale
IS possible.

ILLEGAL voTNa.

Editor of FREE PRKss.-I see you
mention the fact that J. j. Herrera
voted at the election in precinct 26
the other day, and ask If he is not a
resident of BernalIllo county? Is
the open violation of the law by
Messrs. Rudolph, Segura, Pablo Her
rera, any the less reprehensible? Is
there any portion of our country
where prisoners are taken from the
county Jail and allowed to vote ex-
cept in this county? And at this
same election, to say nothing of their
voting, there were maniacs who have
been confined in our county Jail for a
long time past to prevent their doing
acts of violence. Is it not terrible
parody upon justice and our free in
sttutions that this appalling abuse of
power has been permitted to pass
without even so much as a gentle
protest against 1t andits enactors9

ONE PusTuTTIcz ONLY.

One thing that the FREE PRRss
has been working for will probably
be an accomplished fact before very
long, and that is the consolida ton
of the two postoffices here into one
good sized Office. Mr.. A. 7. Law
renee, a postoffice inspector, is here
today looking into the matter under
orders from the department. He will
report in favor of the consolidation,
and that a central site be selected for
the office. If this is done it will be
a saving to all persons in the town,
as now there is no safe way of get
ting important mail except by visit
ing both offices. Every business man
is compelled to keep box at each
Office. The department can make
saving in the running of business,
and in addition the business of the
two offices combined will warrant
free delivery. This alone will be
enough reason for our getting rid of
the troublesome double office arrange
ment.
A petition is being prepared for
circulation as an endorsement of Mr..
Lawrence's report, and it is hoped
every one to whom it is presented |
will put his name to it at once. The
result of a consolidation will be such
a gain that no one should refuse to
sign.
Greedy, Colo.,a town of only $500,
has recently received free delivery,
Mr.. Lawrence's efforts, and
we hope Las Vegas will be the next
place.

A petition was presented to the
county board Friday, signed by near
ly all the West Side business men,
asking that body to declare the Can
tina Imperial public nuisance and
have it abated as such. The board
referred the matter to Attorney Fort,
who sent a letter to Sheriff Lopez,
calling his attention to the matter
and directing that special officer be
detailed to keep the place quiet, or
vigorous measures would have to be
taken. Complaint is made that it is
unsafe to pass the place in daytime
almost without being insulted.

SIZE FORGOT HERSELF.

A few days ago one of our depot
policemen saw a lady drop some
thing which appeared to be a pocket
book. Simultaneous with the drop
ping couple of tramps sneaked out
from under a passenger car and
grabbed it.
"Here, captain" said our friend,
"I'll take charge of that" and with
out much ado it was handed to him
and the tramps slouched off. Our
friend went to the lady whom he had
seen drop the purse, and asked her if
she had lost anything.
81 guess not" she replied, but
putting her hand into her pocket she
exclaimed, 81 have lost my pocket
book"
"What color is it?" asked our
friend.
"Black." she quickly answered.
"Is this it?" our friend asked, as
he showed her the purse.

the purse and went off.
Presently our friend saw her eat

"Sir," she said, while devouring
piece of depot pie, 81 owe you an
apology, and l want to reward you.
My purse contained about $4OO. I
would like to pay you for your kind
ness"
"Never mind," said Billy Long,

but the apology was accepted.

Capt. Kroner said that Mr.. Little was
one OF the many men who had made
friends with Co. b. at the first encamp-
ment at Battle Greek and was pleas
antly remembered by the men who had
attended that encampment and was by
his extreme modesty kept from pre-

desired that as the members filled the
album with their photographs they
would send him one tor ms home.
The present was accepted with cheers
