A NEW IDEA.

No single invention has lessened the
labor of Womankind SO much as that
OF the Sewing Machine. Until recently
the high retail prices, the direct result
or the expensive agency system, has
prevented their introduction into thou
sands of homes. z has remained for
the Cash Buyers gn3on, of Chicago,
Ill, to be the first to abolish this *
travagant and injurious system Of
selling Sewing Machines. They will
ship frst-class Machines anywhere, TO
anyone and in any quantity at the
lowest wholesale prices, and give you
the privilege of ten days free trial in
your own home. The Union" gives
prompt attention to all orders. We
would advise any of readers who
may be interested in Sewing Machines,
to write to them at once for their special
Sewing Machine Catalogue No. 1O1. It
will be sent free to any address.

One of the prettiest sites for a
home in New Mexico has been pur-
chased by Capt. Sturges, of the
Springer Stockman. 1t is located
within a mile of Springer on the
south side, and takes in a part of
Dryer lake, a beautiful sheet of
water, one half mile east of the rail
road. From his house can be seen
the mountain ranges 100 miles away,
the Spanish peaks in Colorado, and
snow all the year round on the San
gre de Cristo mountains. He has in
cultivation 40 acres in fruit trees,
small fruits and grain. He is pre-
pairing to break another 40 acre lot.

levue. Success to you, Capt, in
your new vocation.-Raton Range.

The THuNDERER MoRALIzEs.

The London Times hopes that the
summoning of the National Guard to
Homestead will put an end to one of
the ugliest incidents of modern in
dustrial history. Few elements of
civil war were wanting. Many
memorable historical outbreaks he
gan in humber fashion. Recalling
other troubles of the kind in Ameri-
ca, it says that the next time con-
gress is asked to give attention to
tho affairs of Ireland, it is to be hoped
that it will occur to some member of
that body that such savagery and
lawlessness have a prior and higher
claim to consideration, and that ev-
cry country, however fortunate, will
always have its hands full if it at
tends to its own affairs. After
drawing various morals, the writer
concludes by deprecating the en-
ploYment of a private police force,
which is standing provocation to
the laboring class.

1t has been explained by Director
General Davis and other Worlds
fair officials, who are inclined to fav-
or Sunday opening, that it is not the
intention or desire that the fair shall
be opened on Sunday in the "wide"
way in which it will be on week
days. On the contrary they would
have the machinery stopped, all man
ufacturing processes at a standstill,
and every description of work by
employees reduced to a minimum.
Religious services and choral and
other musical entertainments could
be held in the numerous halls and
auditoriums which the buildings will
contain. The people could stroll
through the park, viewing its re-
splendent beauties of nature and
wonderful achievements of mans
handiwork; could enter the buildings
to enjoy the work of painter and
sculptor, and to learn and profit from
exhibits of innumerable description.
Very few employees, comparatively,
would be required to remain on Sun.
day, and those chiefly for watchmen
and guards. These would not be re-
CURED to work seven days in the
week. To care for the thousands of
visitors at the fair on Sunday would
not require more persons to work on
that day than would be necessary
were those same thousands to go
elsewhere. Had it been understood
from the beginning that the Sunday
opening of the fair would be of the
kind Internationally and educa-
tional instead of noisy and democrat
izing-it is believed that the petitions
and protests against a Sunday fair
would have been far less.

some WONDERFUL GOLD MINES.

Ten miners have been, since the
LIST, working on the 80 miles between
the town of Sheridan, in northern
Wyoming, and the Bad Mountain
placer district. For three days they
shoveled snow, and in one instance
were compelled to build bridge
over what in summer is a small
stream. In the gulches snow is often
several feet in depth. An amalga-
mator is TO be hauled in as So on as
the road will allow. K. G. Bartlett,
who is in the field for an Omaha and
Cheyenne syndicate, is here from the
new Lewiston district, near Lander,
in Fremont county. He has 80 gold
specimens, that return frum So to
$4,000 ton, and says that in 20
square miles the ore does not run less
than $50. To pay a bill last week
Frank Burr picked some rock and
pounded out $40 between breakfast
and dinner. Several prospecting
parties will soon leave here for the
Lewiston district. Bartlett is down
over a hundred feet with diamond
drill, and the assays are high where
ore has been penetrated.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

James Clark, of New York, who
spends considerable of each year IN
the Occur d. Alene region, speaking
of the troubles in that region, said:
GAS property owner there [ am
sorry to hear that matters have
reached a climax. Some 1000 men
were employed in the mines about
Wallace, Wardner, Burke, Gem,
Mullan and other camps until about
eight months ago, when the mine
owners claimed that they could not
pay the high freight rates, and ac-
cordingly shut down until some
compromise could be arranged. The
Mine Owners Association went to
st. Paul and to Omaha to consult
with the general freight agents of
both the Northern and Union Paci fic
roads to secure reduction of rates.
The workmen i'll the mines had been
receiving $3.50 per day, while those
who worked in wet places got 81 per
day. Along in March the company
reached a compromise with the rail
roads and were ready to start the
mines. Many of the union miners
had left the camp during the shut
down, and the mine owners conclud-
ed that when the miners returned to
work 1T should be on a new schedule.
The company insisted that they
should pay their skilled underground
workers $3.50 per day, but make the
unskilled SO. The union men re.
fused to go back unless the old
wages were paid. This was in
April, and since then the mines have
been partly worked by what non
union men could be secured, al
though but little development has
been done. A constant warfare has
been going on since then between
the mine owners and the unions.
The owners endeavored to bring in
non.union men from Duluth some

MULES TO THE RESCUE.

1t is reported that a line of mule
teams has been put on between
Fresno and Sacramento, Cal, to haul
freight for the people in that valley;
also, between those towns, distance
of 100 miles, in opposition to the
Southern Pacific Railway company.
This movement is caused by the high
freight rate for local traffic. The
price for hauling a harvester, for in
stance, from Sacramento to Fresno, is
500. This trip can be made in five
days by the mule team, and $50 per
day for six mules and man is good
pay. 1t is stated that a contract has
been made by the people along the
line by the mule managers to pay
less than the existing freights to the
mule outfit for one year, SO the rail
road can not squeeze them out in that
time,-Globe Democrat.

TIE RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS.

The decision of Judge Valiant IN
the case of Eastman against the st.
Louis q San Francisco railway COM
pany, which was the latest phase of
the attack upon the Atchison-F Frisco
consolidation, has an important bear
ing upon all actions of a similar
character, instituted by minority
stockholders. In the suit before the
circuit court the Eastman faction
sought to GUST the Atchison directors
at the Frisco board OH much the same
grounds that were presented in the
federal court proceeding before
Judge 1'hayer. The circuit Judge
held yesterday, first, that no stock
holder can object to the Atchison's
ownership of stock in the st. Louis
d San Francisco railroad, until he
has shown himself to be especially
aggrleved; second, that the right of
the Atchison company to own its
stock in the Frisco cannot be ques-
toned in proceeding brought by a
for the Office of director;
third, that no court in any sort of a
proceeding would turn over the con-
troll of the corporation TO the minori-
ty stockholders. This is the essence
Of the opinion, and will be read with
interest by all stockholders.

Commissioner Veazey, in an inter-
view today, said: "The public seems
to have a wrong impression concern
ing the work of the interstate COM
mission. We investigate every
charge made, but our investigations
generally result in showing that four
fifths of the allegations are ground
less. The railroads are observing
the law now more closely than they
are given credit for. Recently we
ran down the charges made by one
of the Chicago papers, that the roads
all over the country are engaged in
a general violation OF the law. We
spent an entire week in New York
probing the charges made, and found
most of them to be without founda-
ton. Such will probably prove to
be the case in some of the allegations
that have brought on the present in
quiry. All the roads cited to make
defense tomorrow have filed an
swers, which on their face appear to
be good defenses, and may turn out
to be sound, but we shall probe every
charge to the bottom, and no guilty
man will be allowed to escape"

When in Santa Fe few days ago
George Cross, the we'll known editor

we had often heard of his success in

apple, pear, peach, cherry, apricot,

the above, Mr.. Cross raises enough
alfalfa on the place to feed horse

cessful. He has fruit trees loaded
down, some carrying more than they
could stand and that would have TO
be trimmed out. Twelve trees full
of fine cherries, getting ripe, were
pretty sight, made more interesting
