Heavy Live Stock Traffic Over the
Santa Fe-Other News.


Major w. c. Lewis, assistant live
stock agent of the Santa Fe route,
has returned to the city from a
business trip along the road. He
reports live stock traffic very live
ly over that road, and says the
most of the cattle goes to Chicago
for the markets. "The country
west ON the Southern Pacific and
south on the International 4 Great
Northern, which has suffered so
much for the want of rain, is now
in splendid condition." says Major
Lewis. "Cattle is looking well and
is fed exclusively on nice green
grass, while last year at this time
cotton seed and prickly pear had
to answer for food"
Mr.. j. A. Andrews, a wealthy
and prominent live stock man of
BeltOn, is in the city, to ship cattle
to Multen, Texas, over the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass and Santa
ne roads. Mr.. Andrews also re-
ports cattle and crops in fine con-
ditiOn, since the recent rains, and
plenty of water and grass.
IMPROVING THE ROAD.
From reports the FL PasO di-
vision of the Southern Pacific is
being extensively improved. The
wooden bridges are all being re-
placed with iron and rock struc-
lures, substantially built and the

on the FL Paso division, from which
splendid hard rock for bridge pur-
poses is obtained.

IT is a mistaken idea that some
business men have of not advertising
during the early part of the year.
Excepting ~everIastingly at tits what
pays in advertising and the business
man who pushes his business during
January and February will feel the
good effects of it during the entire
year. The merchants of Mexico, as
a rule, are liberal advertisers. At the
same time they are not harrassed by
fakirs to a large extent. By literally
patronizing the two local papers
they can reach the trade throughout
this and adjoining counties at a light
cost. Every business man should, ON
the first OF the year, set apart a GER
tain portion of money for iudicious
newspaper advertising just the same
as he arranges for rent, clerk hire,
light, etc. Advertising is one of the
essentials of any thriving business.
Any business man will tell you that.
Those Mexico merchants who dur
ing the last three or four years have
advertised throughout the entire
year will tell you that it pays.
Make your appropriation for adver-
Using and begin promptly on Jan.
1. 1t will pay YOU.

Jus. as the stranger entered the

quick"
Cashier Durand backed out oil

back door of the bank and gave the
alarm.
The hundreds of people in the
street quickly ran to the front door

january Forecasts BY Hicks.

At the opening of the new year a
reactionary storm wave will have
just expended itself in western reg
ions, and a cold wave with rising
barometer will be pressing eastward
behind the storms. By about the
Sd, the cold weather with clearing
conditions will have reached the
regions of the Atlantic. At the same
time the temperature will begin to
rise and the barometer will be fall
ing in the west. The 4th is the cen
ter Of a regular storm period, with
the new moon on the 9th, calling
for the crisis of the period about the
9Th, 9th and 7th. A partial relaxa-
ton from cold will center on the
10th and 18th and reactionary
squalls of rain and snow will appear
at many points along the progressive
line of change from west to east.
Renewed cold will follow promptly
and severely, filling the time with
sharp wintry weather up to the ad-
vent of the next storm period.
The 10th is the central day of the
next period, with the moons first
quarter on the evening of the 18th.
1t will turn warmer in westerly
regions by the 14th and during the
18th to 18th, the warm wave will
grow in extent and degree, causing
storms of rain and snow in its regu-
lar advance eastward. Much sur
face thawing, especially southwark,
is probable during this period, but
as the area of rain works eastward,
its western TANKS will turn to snow
and the inevitable cold wave will
wind up the disturbances Of the
period and bring freezing weather
generally lasting until the reaction
airy changes on and touching the
21st and 22d.
The last storm period of the month
begins about the 26th and ends
about the Both. January is apt to
end fair and frosty. February
ushers in the equinox of Mars, and
leads forward to planetary combina-
tons, which will reach a crisis in
March. We have repeatedly given
warning of this impending crisis
beginning the same in Word and
Works as early as the summer of
1898, and taking it up in our 1894
almanac.

New York, Dec. 26.-The Her

"a large and growing fund to be
used in the hope of defeating the
Wilson tariff bill ia being raised by
manufacturers and others whose
peeuniary interests are directly in
volved in tariff legislation. That
money is being subscribed for such
a purpose is already an open secret.
How vast the sum is and who are

ing are not, however, clear. OPP
ponents of the Wilson tariff measure
talk freely on g%eneralities, but will
not tell what they will do with their
money"
FIGHTING FREE RAW MATERIALS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The
prospects are that those persons who
are opposing free raw materials
| clauses of the Wilson bill will con-
centrate their efforts on the senate
to secure changes. Delegations
representing these various interests
will be here during the coming week
to begin their work. Democrats,
as far as possible, are being dele
gated to make these protests. John
NJ. Burke, of Idaho, the advance
guard of the lead men, is here and
will be joined in a few days by
others representing the states OF
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and
the territory of Utah. Mr.. Burke
says that free lead ore will absolute
ly paralyze the mining industry OF
the states and territories named.
Mr.. Burke was the Democratic can
didate for governor of Idaho in the
last campaign. If the duty on lead
ore cannot be retained in part, al
! least, by the Wilson bill these lead
miners will ask for the ectention 0.
the duty of two cents on pig leae
reduced by the Wilson bill to ONE
cent. An effort will be made on thu
part of the representatives of the sew
eral interests to combine SO as to Sc
cure concerted action, but whether
combination can be effected is very
uncertain.

Robbery Witnessed by at
Least $50 Persons.

MARSHALL, Tex, Dec. 25,-At
; O'Clock this morning Pacific Ex-
press Messenger Mccullough was
knocked down by a burly negro on
the station platform here and rob-
bed of his pouch containing an
amount estimated at between So
600 and $1,000.
Immediately after knocking the
messenger down the negro grabbed
the pouch and quickly made his
escape in the darkness.
The scufile and robbery vas wit
messed by at least $50 persons about
the depot, but it was all done so
quickly no one had time to recover
from his establishment and interfere
till the negro had disappeared.
The unprecedentedly bold robber
was not recognized by any one, and
was, apparently, an utter stranger
in this vicinity.
No one seems to be able to give
anything like a coherent description
of the robber, and no clew to his
identity or present whereabouts ha:
yet been cleaned.
sUPT. FULLER's STATEMENT.
Supt. Fuller of the Pacific Elk
press Co. said that the point where
the robbery Of the express messen
ger occurred was not on their lines
but an entirely separate division
and hence he would receive no in
formation on the subject.

Champ and the Children.

Representative Champ Clark Of
Missouri came to the incidental de-
tense of Oklahoma the other day
when that interesting country was
thrown bodily into the discussion of
the Arizona bill by Late Pence, says
the Washington Post. He told about
going down there some time ago on
a hunting and fishing trip, "etc."
"The people in Oklahoma" said
he, ''are as fine as any in this coun-
try. They are all Americans, too,
of the most enterprlsing type. One
night I came to a tent and a dugout,
where 1 stopped owe night. The
lady was as refined, as gentleman
nered, as intelligent as any lady in
Washington. Why, she had napkins
on the table, and the food was,
though of not abundant variety well
cooked and we'll served"
He went on in eulogy of the Okla
| homaites and concluded amid a
storm of applause. But there was a
sequel to the dugout episode which
he did not then relate. There was
a man and wife and six children in
the family, two rooms in the dugout,
and only one bed visible. He Won
dered where he a going to sleep,
but said nothing and awaited the
outcome of events. About s O'Clock
the children were all put to bed and
were soon fast asleep. At 8 the hos
tess went over to the bed, picked
the children up n by one and
stacked them against the wall in a
row near the fire, where they slept
soundlv on.
"Then," as Champ Clark tells it,
"my host turned to me and said, as
he and his wife went into the next
room: Stranger, you make your
self at home, and turn into the bed
there
81 wondered where the man and
his wife were going to sleep, but
thought it not best to raise the point.
So 1 threw off my outer clothes and
lay down on the bed and was soon
fast asleep"
"But where did the man and his
wife sleep?" asked one of the listen
ers.
II reckon they made out all right.

was stacked up against the wall
