Little Thanks and No Pay.

Court House, carrying a white envelope.

Governor Elect Lowndes, in casual
conversation Saturday in regard To Gov
ernur Browns joke about the appoint

question had passed; either Governor
Brown was jesting from the outset, or
he had found such general condemnation
of his plan to deprive the victorious par

been forced to abandon il.

NAVAL ACADEMY.
Extensive improvements Recommend
ed by Secretary Herbert.


Secretary Herbert will forward to
Congress this week or early in January
a report submitted by Commodore
Matthews, president of the board des-
ignated to investigate and determine
upon plan for complete rehabilita-
tion of the Naval Academy. This
board was authorized last Congress and
during the summer months was at work
in accordance with the Secretary's in-
structions. Mr.. Herbert, i'll transmit
ting the report, will make some sugges.
tions pertinent to the academy's cOndi-
ton, which, he will show, has reached a
stage where, for the reputation of the
service, a change is Immediately neces-
sary.
The report will state that the acade-
my has outgrOwn itself and that the ar
rangements and construction of the
present buildings are on patchwork
order, regardless of convenience or eflici-
ency of work, unhealthy and obsolete.
The plans are accompanied by drawings
of a leading architect, which provide
magnificent buildings, quarters for Oiii-
GERS, new drives and walks, monuments
and adornments which would make the
academy a decidedly attractive place.
The plan is extensive and the project,
if carried out. will cost the government
mt least S6,000,0O0. Mr.. Herbert will
urge that the entire project be approved
by Congress, and that they appropriate
at least $4,000 with which to begin the
work. He believes that, with "A moder-
ate sum provided each year, the acade-
my can be transformed into modern
institution within few years.

George w. Jenkins, editor Of the Santa
Maria Times, Cal, in speaking OF the
various ailments of children said: When
my children have Group there is only
one patent medicine that ever use, and
that is Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
1t possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi-
ately. 1t is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market" If
this remedy is freely given as soon as
the croupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is an ideal remedy
fo5 whooping cough. There is no dan
ger in giving it to children, as it con-
tains nothing injurious. For sale by

A Good suggestion.

A gentleman. who narrowly escaped
injury few nights since from coming
in cotact with an open gate on one of
our popular streets, suggests that there
he an ordinance requiring all property
holders having gardens and front gates
to have them swing on the inside instead
of out. If in this case they should be
left open, as they frequently are, pedes-
trians would experience no incOnven-
ience whilst passing on dark nights, and
perhaps avoid serious injury.

Las Vegas Stock grower
It's understood that the post.
Office department, after about iif-
teen years, has concluded TO rein
bprse Serapio Romero nf Wagon
Mound for 81, $50. which he Lost a.
postmaster of Las Vegas, in at.
tending to duty assigned him by
the government
The story, which was never
4nown by many, and has been for
gotten by others, is that when Mr..
Romero was postmaster, IN the old
days when there was but one office
for the two towns, couple of in,
spectors came here on their way To
examine some star ronte frauds
and irregularity in the northern
part of the territory. They CON
.cluded that they needed Mr..
Isomero's services as guide and in
prefer, TO facilitate the accomplish.
ment of their purpose, and so in
formed the postal department AT
Washington. Reply came by wire
for Mr.. Romero to put the post.
office in charge Of his. assistant. a
man named Mi,ler, snd 60 with
the inspectors He did so, being
absent for two months or more.
While he was absent Miller made
way with 81, l80 of money order
funds, which the government re-
quired MIR. Romero to make good.
Miller fed to South America.
After all these years the govern
ment has concluded that Mr..
Romero should not be held re.
sponsible, he having been absent
from his office by government
direction, and the theft having
been committed by the party whom
he was instructed by the govern
ment to place in charge. la order
for Mr.. Romero to be reimbursed
there will need be special act Of
congress making the appropriation.
However the conclusion of tho ad.
ministration to ask for the appro-
prition, is long step in the right
and desired direction.

THE UNLUCKY NUMBER
THIRTEEN.
San Marcial Bee.

San Marcial Bee.
As far back as the memory Of
man goes it has been conceded by
many that thirteen is an unluckv
number, and many instances have
occurred TO firmly establish this
conclusion in the minds of people
not generally given to things super
natural. An exemplitication of the
truth of the ancient yet often true
affirmation of the mysterious work
OF Providence was brought to our
notice few days ago.
Fred Weckerie has in his posses
sion a panel photograph containing
a group of thirteen railroad boys,
taken at the Harvey house here,
August 27, 1891. Those compos-
irg the party are: Fred Wickerle,

y. R. Humble, j. s. Norris, Il.
Dawson, John OFT, Frank Cottle,
-. Holloway, James Connors,
Junius Overman, +. Palmer, and
Dennis Calvin. OF these, three
have since met violent deaths.

Grande at San Marcial, Junius
