MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 3.--The
state of Alabama for the first time in
its history has two governors and tive
separate sets OF state officers Colonel
i Oates and those elected ON his ticket
preside at the state house. Captain
kolb and his cabinet have not /. an
nounced their official headquarters.
AT high noon Saturday, surrounded by
members of the legislature and with
the usual pomp of military display.
/ Col. Oates took the oath of office upon
the steps of the state capitol, standing
! on the very spot on which jefferson
Davis stood when he was sworn in as
| president of the Southern Confederacy.
kolb. the populist candidate, who
claims to have been elected, but
counted out by fraud, was sworn in bv
justice of the peace. The rest of the
populist ticket was also sworn in.
kolb was about to make an address at
the capitol steps but was warned and
changed his program, and spoke from
wagon. He declared he had been
legally elected and would use every
means to secure the position which
belonged to him.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 5.--R. F.
kolb, who claims to be the governor
Of Alabama, completed his message to
the legislature, which he signs as gov
ernor, and which has been transmitted
to that body. The message is also
addressed to the people of Alabama, /
and is long, and In many respects,
revolutionary document, as it recon-
mends his followers to not pay their
taxes for awhile. Hefurther adds: II /
advise those tax collectors who value I
the cause represent, and which will !
assuredly prevail in the end, to DELAY
all payments of state taxes into the
state treasury until an impartial hear
ing IS had of our complaint under a
fair and honest contest law
When it is remembered that the tax
collectors in thirty-eight of the sixty
six counties in the state are Kolbites.
It will be seen that if they take his ad-
vice the kolb government will find
strong support and Alabama will be
threatened with anarchy. He urges
The legislature to enact contest laws,

Appropriation Cut on For tho Next

Two Years.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 6.--The refusal
of the Georgia legislature to continue
the military appropriation for the next
two years is variously interpreted, but
the theory most generally accepted is
that the legislature is tired of the
work to which the troops have been
put during the four years of Governor
Northern's administration, aud the
evidence that they will be similarly
used by Governor Atkinson. Governor
Northern's great zeal for the suppress
sion of lynch law led him on several
occasions to call out military companies
to protect ravishers whose lives were
being sought The feeling among the
Legislators is that every county in the
state is capable of taking care of it's
own affairs, and the sheriffs do not
want the unwelcome aid of the military
from other sources.

WHEAT FEEDING.
Interesting Agricultural DEPARTING,
Figures.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Returns from
correspondents of the statistical divi-
sion OF the department of agriculture,
relative to the amounts of wheat fed
to stock, estimate the quantity fed up
to October 30 at 46, $50, 900 bushels. and
estimated the amount to be fed at 90
212a 600 bushels, making the. total 75,-
100000 bushels. These figures on
wheat feeding are merely meager esti-
mates from those states wherein cor
respondents complied with the request
OF the department, and must not be
taken as anything more than an at
tempt at an approximation of the total
feeding of wheat from the present
supply The severity and length of
the winter will necessarily influence
the final findings upon this question.

cGnn LUCK 10 The RAIN.MAKtRs.

It is common to make mirth at the eY-
pense of tho rain-makers, but those who
have given the subj ect of artiiicia,lv pro-
ducing rain the most careful considera-
ton do not treat it with levity. Their
actions testify that they believe there Is
something in it. For example, the CHI
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway COM
many now has rain-makers at work at
Phillipsburg and Charming, and has just
completed fitting out at great expense a
number of cars with the necessary ap-
paratus to enable the Goodland rain
makers to operate in Sherman county,
Kas., which is suffering sadly from the
lack of water. When the sagacious and
conservative managers of such corpora
ton as tho Rock Island seriously take
hold of any enterprise there must bt
something more substantial than wine
back of it. The New MEXICAN doesn'
profess to know anything about thu
feasibility of rain making, but it wants
water and plenty of it for irrigating ant
rendering fruitful the arid lands of thi
territory and is ready to welcome an,
method that will accomplish the bene
ficent result. Good luck to the rain
makers.

Newspaper Subscription List


Few readers or publishers of papers
fully and clearly understand the laws gov
erning subscriptions. The decision of
the United States court is:
l. Subscribers who do not give express
orders to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dlscon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the publish
er may continue sending them until all
arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
tako their periodicals from the postof1ice
to which they are directed, they are res
ponsible until they have settled bills and
ordered them discontinued,
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and the
papers are sent to the former address
they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the Office or
removing and leaving them uncalled for,
is prima facie evidence of Intentional
| fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end of
| the time if they do not wish to continue
taking it; otherwise the publisher is
| authorized to send it and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with payment of all arrearages is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws nre such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any one
, for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it. Under this law the man
who allows his subscription to run along
for sometime unpaid, and then orders il
discontinued, or orders the postmaster tc
mark it "refused" and has postal care
sent notifying the publisher, lays himsel
liable to arrest and fine, the same as 70,
| theft.
