The inhabitants of North Wichita street
were very much agitated last evening, that
is the colored portion living in the third
block.
A colored girl, Lillian Gray by name.
went down town about $50 O'Clock and
bought 10 cents worth of morphine, which
she took on a side street before reaching
her boarding house. After reaching home
she asked Kittie Sidney, the lazy with
whom she lives, for some paper aud A
pencil as she wanted to write note, but
Miss Sidney told her she was too
sick, and asked her what was the
matter. when she told her she had
taken 10 cents worth Of morphine, which
Is about five grains. She became very
sleepy and laid down on the bed which
scared Miss Sidney nearly to death and
she immediately sent for medical assist
aDce.
Doctors Hoffman and McClees respond
ed promptly aud it is well for Miss Gray
rs few minutes more Of delay she would
have been ushered into the great un-
known.
The doctors applied the new treatment.
permanganate of potash. which worked
like Charm. In about two hours after
she had taken the deadly dose she had re-
gained semi consciousness and showed
light when cold water was whipped into
her face
This makes the fifth case within ten
days of attempted suicides, and some have
been successful in the UNDER akiug. IL is
becoming quite the fad To tempt life and
the morphine route seems to be preferred
1t was thought that the young woman
had had quarrel with her lover, VINO is
waiter at the Carey. and becoming de-
spondeut had concluded that there was no
more JOY or earthly bliss left for her with
out bis love, and took this mode of re-
genge.
w ben she regained consciousness she
was very peuitent, and upon seeing her
lover began to cry and make all manner Of
heart-rendlng apologies, which were &C
cepted, and the little quarrel was forgotten
and everything was amicably settled.
Al 1890 tie doctor pronounced her out
OF danger and left instructions to keep her
awake for an hour or two, and that she
would be alive and kicking around in the
morning. The would-be suicide is better
known by the name of Nudge.

A VAST INDUSTRIAL ARMY.

Statistics just issued by the inter-s state
commerce commission show that the
total number of employees in the service
of railways on June 80, 1898, was 1902,
being an increase of 52,187. OF this total
of employees, 35,3S4 are assigned to the
work of general administration; 256,212
to maintenance of way and structures
175,464 to maintenance of equipment, and
397,915 to conducting transportation, the
remainder, s,627, being uncassifed by
the carriers making report. If the EN-
ployes be assigned to mileage, it appears
that SIS men found employment in the
railway industry in the United States per
100 miles of line, twenty-one being as
signed to general administration, Isl to
maintenance of way and structures, 1913 to
maintenance of equipment and 234 to
conducting trans portation.

THE NEW STATES AND POLITICS,

The statehood prospects begin to look
positively roseate. True to their prom
Use, the Democrats in congress have now
conferred statehood honors upon Utah,
and by every reasonable rule Arizona and
New Mexico ought to be soon taken up
and treated by that body in similar
manner.
However much we may all deprecate
it, it is plain that politics cuts more or
less of figure in such cases, and it is
quite apparent now that some of our
Democratic friends in congress have all
along been engaged in a diplomatic play
that will make the admission of these
two territories doubly sure in the long
run. There is close margin for or
against these two territories in congress,
growing largely out of the pretty gen.
orally accepted fact that both are sure to
send to Washington Democratic con-
gressional delegations, and the fact also
that their admission will serve to increase
the list of so-called "silver states" The
Republicans at the east and some in the
west are opposed to their admission. On
the other hand Oklahoma is looked upon
as Republican aud the politicians of that
party insist on her admission. Now the
Democrats are in position to have both
Arizona and New Mexico admitted as an
Offset to Republican Oklahoma, party
advantage not to be despised by the
politicians in view of the effect the COM
ing in of the new states is likely to have
in determining the political character of
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-07-14

The New York Commercial Advertiser
calls New Mexico "a weak sister," 1t
thinks the $4,000 badly mixed popula-
ton" of Arizona should be combined
with ours before admission, and says that
neither New Mexico nor Arizona is fit for
statehood. But the ignorance of the Adj
vertiser, on the whole question, is evil
denced by the fact that it speaks of the
territorial delegate as 'Josephs," calls
him representative IN congress-" and
says that "since 1886, the Democrats have
had majority in the legislature, and
have controlled the territory.'--Las We
gas Optic.

ClatlOn.

A GOOD many people were surprised to
learn from the New MEXICAN that the
total amount of territorial and county
taxes paid by the Pullman Palace Car
company in New Mexico last Year was
only $Sl.45. Many working people in
this territory pay more taxes than that
on their humble homes and necessary
personal property.

Hurrah for Delegate Joseph.

The bill for the admission of New Mex
leo into the Union of states passed the
lower house of congress on the 28th of
last month. Whether Mr.. Joseph really
wanted the bill to go through or whether
he knew it would not do for him to enter
the race for reelection with this measure
still hanging is difficult to tell; at any
rate he should have the support of the
people for this piece of good work. 1t is
the only thing that has ever been done
in congress by any delegate that is of
material benefit to this sunshine land.
We for one say, with big H, Hurrah for
Joseph!.-San Juan Index.
