Frances hay crop being a failure, M.

fessors of agriculture throughout the
country to suspend their lectures and
to proceed to the rural districts, where

A bass VOL player In distress and I'M

A man in Milwaukee has inaugurated
what may become a general custom
all over the country. He has converted
the basement of large office building
into a storage-room for bicycles, with
attendants to clean the wheels and care

The managers of the Cunard line of
transatlantic steamers make the claim
that, during the entire history of their
company, extending back, as 1t does.
to the day when steam was unknown
as a motive power, they have never lost
a passenger, and the worst accident to
any Of their vessels was going aground.
This casualty has occurred to two or
their ships, and in each case the vessel
was saved. Such a record is without
parallel in the history of navigation
An incendary with mania for burn
ing saw-mills has broken loose in the
neighborhood Of Farmersburg, south of
Terre Haute. Within the past month
four mills have been burned, entailing
q total loss. The fires have left the en-
tire country to the south, for radius
of twenty miles, without mill, and as
the country Is heavily wooded the de-
ficiency is keenly felt. No insurance
was carried upon the majority of the
mills, and their owners find themselves
unable to rebuild.
A queer custom was observed for the
two hundred and f1ftieth time at Leigh
ton Buzzard, England, this year In ac-
cordance with the will Of London
merchant, who founded ten almshouses
in the town. The trustees, accompanied
by the town crier and a band of boys
carrying green boughs, beat the boun-
diaries of the parish, stopping at the
properties from whose incomes the
charities are supported. AT all these
places one boy stood on his head while
the will was read. After the procession
plum rolls were given to the boys. I'm
til recently half pint Of beer was
given, but this has been suppressed,
rolls being distributed to all the school
children instead. In the evening the
trustees, the town crier and the In
mates of the almshouses dined together.

WE PURLTSH THE NEWS

The hostility of the Las Vegas OPTIC,
usually fair to other parts of the Territory,
to the Ration water works is unaccountable
Our town is growing and prosperous, the
mean fiings Of that paper to our detriment,
notwithstanding.-Raton Range.
The editor of the Range has reached
an entirely false conclusion In this
matter. There is no town in the Ter
ritory in which THE Optic has more
faith in the present and future pros
perity than it has of Ration. But we
are running a newspaper down this
way and when the report reached this
Office thai dead animals had been
found in the water works reservoir at
Ration, we asked for a special telegram
from Ration on the matter. The special
telegram stated that such a report was
current on the streets of Ration, and
THE Optic published the news. The
report was denied the next day, and
we published that also. That's all.
