Samuel had looked at it approvingly
the day after she was laid to rest, and
declared it "a mighty pretty stone-so
sort of peaceful" Yet now, not three
weeks later, as he eyed it furtively,
there was no approval in his glance.
The sunlight was shining warm upon
it, and Pickering shadow leaves were
caressing the grave. From the top of
the shaft fell folds of weeping. Oddly

IRRIGATED CROPS.
Some of the Big Things Produced in
the Famous PecOs Valley.

Seven barrels of snowy apples went to
Chicago from Roswell few days ago for
exhibition.
Frank Anderson shipped last week
from the Rogers farm, at Roswell to the
immigration Office in the new Stock Ex-
change building, Chicago, box of eighty
onions, the net weight of which was 202
pounds, or little over two and half
pounds each; all were single onions.
f. L. Roesler, of Dallas, has removed
to Eddy and cast his lot with the Pecos
valley, having been appointed land com
missioner of the Pecos Irrigation d I'm
provement company. He will have
charge of the exhibit of fruits and pro-
ducts of the valley, and show the country
to homeseekers.
General Manager Blodgett has bought
the outfit used by Bernard Thorner to dry
and prepare wild canaigre for shipment
AS soon as Chemist Skeats thinks the
cultivated crops have developed their full
amount of tannic acid the tubers will be
dug and dried in the September sun.
There will be twenty five or thirty carloads
to send out of the valley.
Grass has not been so fine in the Pecos
valley in many years. The rains last sea-
son revived the trampled roots on the
prairies and this rainy season produced
remarkable growth There are many
places where wild timothy and gramma
may be cut for hay. Phelps White states
that on the plains east of Roswell the
grass is knee high and excels any ever
before seen there.
This week party of homeseekers who
evidently "mean business" are looking
over the land. Nine of the ten visitors
have bought farms, and when theselections
have been made, the facts, locations and
price paid will be published. The party
is composed of A. McCauley, d. Carbon,
of Chicago; J. E. Hoagland, Eden, Iowa;
R. II. Dunn, Holbroak, Iowa; G. M. Ream,
M. j. Getzelman, E. j. Lock, Hampshire,
H.; L. G. St. Glare, Ishpeming, Mich; c.
W. Cole and j. E. Meyers, of Elgin III.
Col. Poe has a 500 acre farm near
Roswell 400 of which is in alfalfa, and he
has sold therefrom 200 worth of fat
cattle in six years.
G. j. Demorest, who lives near Otis, has
twenty five acres of yellow milo maize
which he thinks will thresh out 20 bushels
per acre. Matured heads brought to this
Office are from stalks the seed of which
was sown July 10th nine weeks before cut
ting. Last year Mr.. Demorest got over
20 bushels per acre. He states that six
stalks come from one seed, and have
many heads. The grain may be left
standing in the field for a month or two
yet and will not shatter. The farmer
declares il bettar feed than Epvntiap
corn, which is of the same family, and all
Pecos valley farmers know the corn is
superior to oats and Indian corn. There
will not be a ton of feed shipped in this
fall or winter.-Eddy Argus.

POLITICAL TIPS.
That big ratification meeting at the
court house on Saturday night has made
the Republicans "dead sore" One of
them writes the Las Vegas Optic that there
were "only 300 people present at the
court house to greet Mr.. Joseph" This
barefaced falsehood of itself shows how
hard hit the Republicans are over the
success of that first meeting of the
campaign in Santa Fe county. AS mat
ter of fact there never has been, at least
in decade, such a political meeting in
the capital city.
They do say that the Hon. R. Mansfield
White, one of Sierra county's delegates
to the Republican convention at Socorro,
is doing his level best to swallow lis dose
of Catronism gracefully. The Sierra Ad-
vocate credits him with this:

A FEARFUL STORM.
The South Atlantic Coast is Threat.
ened With Another Calamity
Grave Fears Entertained.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The tropica]
hurricane announced in special weather
bulletins of September "a and 25 reache d
eastern Florida this morning. At II a.
m. the wind had shifted to the northwest
At Jacksonville the pressure showed that
the storm center was few miles south
east OF that station. The observer there
reports many trees blown down and
houses unroofed. The indications are
that the hurricane will move in q north
easterly direction along the Atlantic
coast, probably reaching New York
Thursday night.
WORSE THAN IN 1898.
Savannah, Ga.-Everything points to a
storm, equalling, if not exceeding, in
violence the fearful and destructive cy-
clone of August 1893. At Tybee the wind
ranges rs miles an hour. At low tide to-
DAY, the water at Tybee was higher than
at high tide. The ocean is steadily en-
croaching on the island and it is thought
that by night it will be completely sub
merged. Those on the island will have to
take refuge in the lighthouse and tho Mar
tello tower. The hotels and cottages ap-
pear doomed.

Why fake the Wabash

For 81. LOUSY
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROITi
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further cast, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and St. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTSs
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking

TAMMANY WANTED WHITNEY.
Saratoga, N. Y.-Tammany people
were thrown into condition bordering
on panic to-day when the Associated
Press bulletin announcing that Whitney
had declined to accept the nomination
was read. Senator Hill SAID, ~ supposed
he would decline to accept"
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan said:
"Whitney would have been very strong
man and the situation is now rather
mixed"
John D. Crimmins, personal friend of
Mr.. Whitney, has receiveda a message from
him, declining for personal reasons.
THEY MEET FOR BUSINESS.
Saratoga.-The Democratic leaders are
alleged to have decided upon the nomi-
nation of John Boyd Thatcher for Gov
ernor. 1t is also reported that when the
time comes for nominations, Thos. F.
Grady will declare that thetigers call for
TREMENDOUSLY BIG MAN
and will thereupon name Senator Hill.
The committee on platform for two
hours discussed an endorsement of the
tariff and the proposition advanced by
Mr.. Sheehan to condemn the income tax.
Bourke Cochran declared that, under no
circumstances, should the party
ENDORSE THE TARIFF BILL
as whole. Instead, it should declare for
only some features. This caused long
wrangle, which continued until the time
for the convention to assemble. As it
will be presented to-day, the platform
will be unchanged from what it was last
night, as exclusively reported by the AS
sociated Press.
just as the convention was about to
convene, new name was added to the
gubernatorial candidates, Judge Barnard,
of Poughkeepsie. Senator Hill called

at $50 p. m. The committee on credeE-
tials reported in favor of seating dele
gates in all contests except that from
Monroe county, whose representation is
divided equally between two delegates,
each having half vote. The Shepard
people from Kings county left the hall.
With this exception, the greatest good
humor characterized the adoption of the
committees report. Galen B. Hit took
the floor and proposed Boyd Thatcher
for governor in a highly eulogistic
speech. At the conclusion of Hits
speech, an Allegheny man rose and
moved the
NOMINATION OF D. B. HILL.
Hill declined to be a candidate. At 2:55
p. m. Senator Guy arose and attempted
to stampede the convention for Hill,
Enthusiasm then ran to very high
pitch and everybody began shouting for
Hill. Bourke Cochran thereupon took
the platform and seconded Hills nomi-
nation. The convention thereupon STAN
peded to Hill and he was nominated by

AGAINST .PEkING.
The Japanese start for the Chinese
Capital-An English Vessel
Intercepted.

London, Sept. 26--A dispatch from
Toxic says that the second japanese
army for field service, modified at He.
roschima and consisting of 10000 men
under the command of Field Marshal
Count Oyama embarked yesterday amid
intense enthusiasm. The emperor re-
viewed the troops. 1t is reported that
the squadron is bound for the Yellow sea.
During the absence of Field Marshal
Oyama, who is also minister of war, the
minister of marine affairs will assume
the duties of minister of war in addition
to his own responsibilities. 1t is Off
cially announced at Toxic, says another
dispatch, that the report that an armis-
tice has been proposed by England and
Russia is untrue.
ADVANCING AGAINST PEKING.
Washington.-To To-day's advices from
Toxic, stating that the second Japanese
army of 10000 men had sailed from Hlro-
schima yesterday, is regarded in official
circles here as the first move in an ad-
vance on the Chinese capital, Peking.
Ie Gulf of Pechili, which the dispatches
give as the probable destination of the
army, is the entrance to the river leading
to Peking. 1t is said, however, that the
forts at the entrance to the river are
practically impregnable, owing to the
stretch of mud flats around them. 1t is
not believed, therefore, that any advance
on Peking woud be made up the river,
but that 10000 men would be landed at
some other port, whence short overland
march would take them to the walls of
Peking.
CAUGHT AT IT.
Shanghai-A Chinese warship inter-
cepted the English ship, Pathan, in For
mosa channel, Friday, upon suspicion.
She was carrying munitions of war. The
Pathan was taken to Kee Sung, treaty
port, where her cargo was overhauled by
the Chinese authorities. The result of
the investigation is not known.
