EMBARGO ON A JEwELRY FIRM.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 21.-Sears.
Robuck &c Co., a local jewelry INSTALL
ment firm, is in an embarrassing posi-
ton by reason of a special order from
the postal department at Washington.
This order requires postmasters at
Minneapolis and Chicago to hold back
all registered letters and money orders
addressed to the firm until the DEPART
ment has time to Investigate the case.
The local firm claims that this en-
barge is due to the methods of a firm
in Chicago of a similar name, but hav-
ing no connection with the Minneapo-
lis house, though formerly some bust
ness relations did exist. Coming at the
time the holiday trade is at its height,
this order is a serious blow to the Min
neapolis firms business.

A Cute Justice.

TWAS the law of the village that all show
men, itinerants and organ grinders must
get license before doing business there.
One day fat policeman, who had been on
the force about six months without doing
anything, concluded it was time he arrested
somebody. Soon afterward along came an
Italian with performing bear.
"Hev yez got yer licenseW asked the po-
liceman.
'No," said the exhibitor of the bear.
"Then yer my priz ners," said the police
man, and he triumphantly marched off
with them to the village station house, he
leading the Italian and the Italian leading
the bear.
Arraigned before the police justice, the
italian pleaded guilty, and the judge Off
ciously gave him a most severe and scorch-
ing lecture on the enormity of his offense,
ending by ining him S1O the full extent of
the law
The culprit had lot of small change in
his pocket, but being mostly pennies and
nickels it only counted up to $3.50. For a
few moments the judge was in aquandary.
He didn't want to send the fellow to Jail
nor yet lose the $40. Presently bright idea
struck him-a happy solution of the prob
lem-and he said:
Here, officer, take this fellow out to the
market place and let him perform with his
bear until he makes up the balance, and
when he gets it drive him out of town.

Army Of the Republic is to be

familiar, AK 1904.


Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
ton that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month 30 that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encampment.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. R. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. Is for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 80 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members of the G. A.
R., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. It tries to please its patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and st. Louis, which
makes rate of $51.05 via Chicago and
1885 via St. Louis to Pittsburg and re-
turn. Call on agent of A., L. d s. f. rail

Grand canon of Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorpes-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up"about it by

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
or need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and infammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is 25 out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is II, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and so strong is
the influence Of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves andsystela that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is a
great boon. Cases are on record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pecos National park, where fish anl game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places Of pic
turesque and OF historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly aftor 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about 17l6; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
the memory CT thrilling events. In this
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1880 and still stands. By its side is the
oldest house IN the United States. Tho
walls Of the old cathedral date from 1929,
but tho rest of the structure IL of more
modern date. Within Convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuqus
and Nambe; in side canon of the Santa
Fe are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main winter
cours: is Monument rock. The road
thither is ons of surprising loneliness.
To the south of town Is Aqua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest In the world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
lings.

Santa Fc, the city of the Holy Faith of

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the Oldest civilized com
inunity in the United States and the IN ost
ancient Of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first foun jed. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport Mo-, gave il a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANlTAR1UM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the q.
s. weather bureau, says: "Sants Fe is in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of m ountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,015 feet, and latitude, about the Seth
degree north, that gives it a peculiar ad.
vantage as sanitarium. The elevation
tempers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Memphis
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and it's south.
BEN situation reduces the rigors of winter
As an illustration, during the winter OF
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions die
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused O.
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as grea
physician expressed il. The rare, ozon
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years
report that they have only found two
vases among the native people of con
sumption.
