TEE DREAD PNEUMONIA
It Strikes It's Victims Without Any
Warning.
SIGNS OF ITS COMING
ITS Ravages Are Increasing what
can BE Done to stay Hts Prosresse

During the month Of January just
past the ravages from pneumonia have
been appalling. In the city of New York
alone the deaths from the dread disease
number more than 600, and judging
from recent telegraphic reports we doubt
not that the mortality has been cores
pondingIy large ia other parts IF the
country.
For reasons unknown to us says the
New York Sun in a recent editorial, the
mortality from pneumonia has risen very
greatly Id recent times Up to two years
ago the average animal number of fatal
cases of it was under 1000; but in 1892
the number was 5,S41 and last year 6.4I6-
The medical faculty ought to be able to
give some explanation of this serious
fact. and we should think might be able
to ind some more effective means Of
dealing with the most deadly of All the
maladies with which the city is afflicted
While they are engaged IN trying to dis
cover am improved method Of treatment
people must strive to secure their own
safety against the disease 10y avoiding
the causes of it. so far as may be possi-

men than women, more among the app

We are told the disease is invited by

by occasional chilIs and feVers, a ten

rheumatic and neuralgia pains. extreme
tired feelings, short breath. pieuritic

In short. pneumonia is but an early In
dication Of a Bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient specting IT, because
no pain viii be felt in the kidneys or
their vicinity, and often It can be detect
ed only by cheminal and microscopical
examination.
The disease is very obstinate, and If the
accompanying kidney disorder is very
far advanced, recovery is Impossible for
the kidneys give ont entirely and the
patient Is literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
IS to maintain vigorous condition of the

attack Of pneumonia, but il can and does

disease if taken IN time
it is the part of wisdom to foresee the
result of neglect and to be governed ac-
cordingly.

TOO MUCH ZEAL
In Prosecuting "a Man for Burning UP a
EiIthy Letter.


w W. Critchfeld went before Judge
Riner in the federal court today with his
attorney, j. q. Ward, and pleaded guilty
to the charge of "tampering with the
United States mails" He was fined 81
ana costs
CritchfeId lived at 1926 Kline street
with his young wife whom he had just
married, last spring about the time Post
master Thomas made the change in th =
force of letter carriers. One day bic
and his wife returned from a walk and
found a letter under the door He
opened it without looking at the address,
and his wife read the letter over his
shoulder. 1T became evident as lie read
that the letter was not meant for him as
it contained some obscene references very
much "off color"
CrltchIeId was So angered at the vul-
garity of the letter that he threw it into
the ire.
The next day the letter-carrier called
for the letter. stating that he had made
mistake in leaving It at the wrong house.
When he learned that CritChfleld had de-
strOyed the letter he reported him and
he was arrested. He was technically
guilty of the offense charged against
hing but when Judge Riner learned the
details of the case he gave him the min-
imum sentence. Whoever began the
prosecution had more zeal than sense, as
the mailing of ala obscene letter is itself
Q violation Of the law.

HIS EYES TURN GREEN.
A Violent Maniac Brought From JefTar-

James Crowley, the maniac from JEFF
ferson county who has been ia the Shaw
nee county Jail for more than a. week,
because there was no room for him la the
state insane asylum, was transferred to
asylum last night by Sheriff 8 layton
Crowley was employed in a brick yard
at H0ltOn and is said to have gone insane
because of domestic trouble which cul-
minated in his wife leaving him. His
Insanity takes q peculiar trend, in that
he thinks the doctors have cut out his
stomach. heart, kidneys and other vital
organs, and he is consequently most
abusive toward the entire medical pro
Iession.
Crowley is wild at times, and 1t was
necessary to remove him from his first
cell to a stronger one. 1T is said al the
Jail that Crowley's eyes turn green when
~ gets in rage. No one dared to enter
his cell and it was therefore becoming
filthy

peared, a ghost of her former self, and

forced her to accompany him to a wild

Gov. Hughes, of Arizona, Speaks of

gate JOseph's Legislative
Record.

Gov. l.. c. Hngnes, of Arizona, passed
down the road yesterday en- route home
from Washington. He said to the Las
Vegas Optic:
"Yes, both the bills for the admission
reported favorably by the senate COM
mlttee, and are now on the calendar, and
| think there is little doubt the bills will
pass the senate in December or early in
January. The present indications are
that the two territories will march arm
in arm into the union of states.
"And for this the people of New Mexico
can truly thank Delegate Antonio Joseph,
for he has made most gallant, persist
ent struggle in their behalf. The fact ia
there is not more untiring and conscien-
tious worker in the house than just your
delegate. He is always in his seat when
the roll is called. Said an old member of
congress to me: Joseph's success is due
largely to the fact that he has SO many
friends i'll both the house and the senate,
who place implicit confidence in his
word; and then ne is most indefatigable
worker before the committees.'
"Your territory has good cause for
congratulation on the score of being SO
well represented in congress. In addition
to his fight in the house for statehood,
Mf. Joseph has, among others, passed the
following bills for your territory during
the present session: bill to provide
for the valuation of af1idavits made be-
fore United States commissioners in all
land contests in the territories; bill re-
serving from sale the warm spring on the
Fort Cummings military reservation in
New Mexico; a bill providing for the
sum of 100000 for the survey of private
land claims confirmed by the U. S. land
court; bill appropriating $4,000 for
purchase of goats and sheep for the JIG
arila Apaches of New Mexico; bill ap-
propriating $1,7O0 for the rent of quar-
ters suitable for the use of the legislative
assembly of New Mexico; bill authoriz
ing the secretary of the interior to place
exsoldiers of New Mexico on the pension
roll, as well as some important resolu-
tions, which we're introduced by Delegate
Joseph. Yes, New Mexico has delegate
in congress of whom your people have
just cause to be proud"

Republican Scheme.

Indianapolis, Aug. 1S.--In the last
presidential campaign Congressman
Bynum in the course of his speech stated
that if the Democratic ticket was success
full wheat would be worth S1.25 per
bushel. On the strength of this state
ment William Stanley, farmer, planted
large acreage of wheat. He now claims
that he has been compelled to sell the
product at loss and to-day instituted a
suit for $1,000 damages against Con-
gressman Bynum. This he asserts is the
difference between what he realized and
what he would have received had the
congressman assertion proven true.
