nave been received and can be seen at
the business Office OF The TIMES, where
they will be given in exchange for the
full Set Of eighteen mum bers and rs cents
or Sl.50 additional, according to the
style OF binding desired.
The bound volume makes a beautiful
work, appropriate for the parlor table
in any family and collection Of a series
OF views inestimable in value as q SOU
venir OF the great exposition, and as an
educator OF the people in presenting
concise Photographic views OF buildings,
exhibits and people Of oil nations, which
views are explained in an entertaining
way by the famous descriptive writer,
j. w. Buel.
the bookbinder's art. There are two
styles to select from, one of a rich
colored brown cloth, with the title ON
belished in gold upon the front; the
other an elegant affair in full Ameri-
can Russian leather, with embossed
scrollwork on front and back covers,
with the title in gold on the front and
back of the volume and the edges in
gilt.
The series Of views is one worthy of
saving. 1t forms a collection of pic
lures which will prove as interesting in
the years to come as at the present
time. No one who went to the Worlds
Fair at Chicago last season should feel
that he could be without work Of this
nature, and THE Magic City" is the
very best production that has bee pre-
sented by any newspaper or publishing
house for the same money. It gives to
those who did not attend the very best
conce ption Of the exposition that can
be obtained.
The price for the bound volumes barely
covers the cost OF the work Of binding
only rs cents for tho cloth and $3.50 for
the leather bound volume. This Is what
you have to pay in addition to the full
set OF the series to secure the completed
work and no time is lost waiting for it
to come from the BINDERS.
Remember that each of the eigh teen
parts must be in good condition to be
received in exchange. Soiled numbers
and missing parts will be supplied ct
the usual rate OF ten cents and one
coupon for each part.
Come in and make the exchange early,
before the large supply of bound vol
umes now on hand is exhausted.

could be of practical benefit. He
thought it would be unwise to confer so
much power upon the city engineer as
this bill conferred.
Mr.. Groves said If the bill passed he
would offer an ordinance combining its
application tc the business portions Of
the city.
Mr.. Loughery warmly cham pioned the
bill. II was time we were erecting sub.
stantisl buildings, and the city should
take pride in compelling this within
the fire limits. The bill would protect
the poor man from imposition by the
contractor.
Mr.. Groves recognized the necessity
for good buildings, but, to carry out the
provisions of the bill in d busy building
season, the city engineer would need at
least two assistants.
Mr.. McClelland thought 1t would be
wise to delay action.
Mr.. Fackenthall moved to amend by
making the bill apply to within the
fire limits, and to large buildings be-
yond, erected for manufacturing pur-
poses. City Engineer Dunlap said the
amendment would spoil the bill.
Considerable time WAS consumed in
cross fire Of questions st the city engin-
eer and his answers. The amendment
was adopted and the bill rejected by
vote OF noes, 10; ayes, 3. This vote
was reconsidered and the bill referred
back to the ordinance committee for
amendments and report at an adjourned
meeting to be held Friday night.
Bill l01, for the construction OF brick
sidewalk on Jefferson street, was passed
by, the plans and specifications having
been referred to the incoming Council.
Bill 104, offered by Mr.. Moomaw, re-
pealing tax on insurance agents, came
up and Mr.. Moomaw advocated its
passage To tax the companies and
the agents was double taxation. When
ever this had been imposed insurance
companies had increased their rates.
Messrs. Andrews, Loughery and Nc
Clelland participated in the discussion.
The vote stood: Noes, 0; aye, 6.
Mr.. Fackenthal moved to amend the
ordinance fixing salaries so IS to make
tho mayors SALARY s5o1. The amend
ment was adopted The ordinance was
put on It's passage and defeated A
motion u reconsider was name and Mr..
Andrews moved to II AXE the salary $3.50.
Mr.. Terry amended this by making it
$500 The latter was adopted and then
the ordinsn nee was adopted
vote OF thanks was rendered the
lad es of the Union Benevolent Society
for their effective ana gratuitous labor
in caring for the poor.
On motion OF MIR. Andrews the PRINT
tive Baptists were allowed the use Of
the Old Opera House for $3.50 per day.
The finance committee was instructed

with funds to harvest the wheat crop.

THE tariff bill prophets, it is stated,
have moved the date OF the passage OF
the measure by the Senate ahead a
notch or two, and now declare that it
will be between the lst and the 5th OF
July before the bill is out of that body
Although yesterday was good one fol-
progress upon this important measure,
it is evident from the history of the
past few weeks that the conservative
Senate cannot be depended upon to rush
through the bill with the dispatch that
the country demands. There are still
pending, too, some provisions which are
sure to elicit long and animated dis
,ssion, the income tax rider, for iu-
.~oance, being one upon which hotly
contested fight will be wagci. Taking
everything into consideration, it is
very probable that the prophets have
not decided upon too far away a date
for it's final passage.

THE action of the authorities in RENE

too soon, as this matter has received
considerable unfavorable comment for

A DIME NOVEL HERO DEAD.
The Famous Dead Shot Scott" No
NzOre-A Romantic Career

New York, April 3.-The body of Henry
NJ. Bennett, better known as "Dead Shot
Scott" was inferred last evening at Freak
ness. Bennett spent most of his life on
the frontier and was government scout
The title "Dead Shot Scott" was given
him on account of his excellent marks
manship. He could sink under his horse
while going at full speed and hit an OBJ
ject on the opposite side with apparent
ease. Among the Indians he was known
as "White Lightning" Once he was sur
rounded in a mountain gorge by twenty
Indians. "White Lightning" was alone,
but killed nineteen Indians and took the
twentieth prisoner. Another time he res
cued the daughter of general who had
been captured by Indians. He carried
the girl on his horse in front of him forty
miles with the Indians hot in pursuit.
In commentator of this rescue Fred
erick Davis, of Chicago, had a statue
constructed. "Dead Shot" had many
narrow escapes from death and he often
said he could show more bullet holes
than any other man in the United States.
He furnished the material for nearly all
the Indian stories written by Ned Bunt-
line and wrote drama himself. After
leaving the service of the government,
"Dead Shot spent few years taking
out hunting parties to Texas and New
Mexico. He frequently gave cowboy
entertainments in this city.

'RAH FOR ROSWELL!
The Contracts Let tor Extending thu
PecOs Valley Road Up the
River to Roswell.

Contracts have been let for the imme-
diate construction of the Pecos Valley
railroad from Eddy to Roswell.
In closing an article on the great reser-
voir and irrigation systems which have
made the lower Pecos valley famous the
New MEXICAN six weeks ago said this:
"On to Roswell with their railroad, will
be the next move made by Mr.. j. j. Ha-
german and his associates in this man
moth enterprise"
The NEW MEXICAN now takes pleasure
in saying that this prophesy is to be full
filled even sooner than was expected.
Mr.. J. J. Hagerman, of Colorado
Springs, president of the Pecos railroad,
announces that the contract for the build
ing of this extension has been let to J. H.
Hampson, the veteran railroad builder
of the southwest. Work is to commence
at once, and under the terms of the agree
ment the line is to be completed to Ros-
we'll by September l, next. The distance
is seventy-five miles.
What boon this is for the Pecos val
ley settlers and of what benefit it must
prove to the interests of southern New
Mexico, can scarcely be computed, and
while great credit is to be accorded to
such men as Hagerman, Eddy, Hawkins,
Richardson and their associates, one must
also accord very much praise to the
