1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur IN
this country and in the old world
within the next nine months. The re-
suits will fleet all, personally directly
or indirectly. This nation IS on the
eve OF the most exciting presidential,
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or
county paper. o live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice a Week
Republic, Of st. Louis. 1t Is the most
progressive journal in the Uuited
States, and in each issue It gives the
latest political news of all parties ia
the field, the latest general news OF the
world and many valuable special feat
ures BESIDES. This model newspaper
is delivered twice-a-week by mall for
only 81 a year, or less than one cen a

A WORD mo RNPunLIcANs.

Only intelligent and capable men
should be sent to the legislature from
San Miguel county-men who will
stand against venality in Territorial
affairs. This community should have
men in the legislature who are actually
representative of the interests Of her
people. Special efforts, therefore,
lnust be made to induce good men to
leave their desks, shops and counting
rooms, this time, even at some per-
sonal inconvenience, in order that
they may vote for and elect a legisla-
tive delegation that shall be able to
compr. bend the wants OF tie people
and be sufficiently earnest ard accom-
plished to gain the reforms the people
crave. These men should know from
their actual daily life and their per-
sonal experience just what the needs
are. They ought not to be taught
after the election. Questions OF such
grave Importance will be preached In
the next general assembly that men OF
common sense, in close touch with
their fellow citizens, able to tell a
hawk from a handsaw, ready to debate
and eager TO work, with personalities
that command respect, should alone be
called to this trust. 1t is one Of the
misfortunes under which New Mexico
has labored, that the seats in her
legislature have so often been filled by
men more DESTROYS of the personal
distinction thereby acquired for a
brief hour, than animated by a sim
cere and intelligent purpose to serve
the people.

AN opinion of interest to secret so
cieties was handed down by Judge
Willard in the superior court, at Pitts
burg. 1t was in the case OF Elizabeth
Crumpton against Pittsburg council,
No. III, Jr., 0. U. A. M, to recover a
benefit on the death of her husband.
The principal point Involved was
whether or not assessment could be
charged against a member as dues,
without specific notice having been
given to the member of the proposed
assessment. Judge Willard decides
this annot be done. Another point
involved was the right of the council
TO collect from lis members an assess
ment for the American defense asso-
citation. Judge Willard says this is
entirely foreign to the purpose of the
association, and such assessments are
void. The lower court is affirmed and
Pittsburg council must pay the claim.

| From the New York Sun.
DR.. John q. Barron, whose ranches
are In New Mexico, tells this story OF a
tall from u precipice OF a Mexican pony
ridden by one OF a hunting party In the
mountains last September.
They were making the ascent OF a
high peak, and the path was very pre-
cipitous and dangerous 10 places. At
the point where the accident happened
the hunters had dismounted and we're
leading the animals. They came to a
narrow ledge. and at the point where
they struck II, it was some feet above
the path. The horses had to jump up
on 1t. On the opposite side Of the
ledge was a precipice, broken by sew
eral lodges. 1t was 500 feet to the
bottom.
The pony referred to jumped, but,
, falling to measure the distance cor
rectly, gave himself such impetus that
he went sheer over and down the
precipice. The men looked over the
edge and watched his descent. He
turned over and over. About seventy
five feet down he struck and broke. off
two ssplings, and a little lower be
struck the first ledge. A second or
two later he struck another. He had
on a good saddle, and, thinking that
the pony had been killed, the party
sent a man down to get its saddle.
sImagine our SURPRISE" said DR..
Barron, "when the man sent down
shouted up to US, He isn't dead /!
He's standing up, drinking water!'
Then we went down. Sure enough,
there he was on his feet, alive and
without a bone broken. There was a
great cut in his neck, and q hundred
or more wounds in various parts Of
his body. The saddle was split in
two. He got we'll, and Is still alive"
