A PUBLIC NEED.
A Pointer for Our Representa-
 tives to Keep in Mind.

The attention of our Legislators thatare to bs slsetedis called 10 the isot that our territory % far has made no provision for its poor; almest every s..te and territory in the union have established institutions for employ m.nI ard care of the poor. Almoss every county in the territory, except those formed in rscsnt years, has been awarded some >ublis insti,utisn but Coehi-e. The es- tablishmens Of . peor farm is slublic necessity, . place where the indigent and dissbl poor can receive care and attention, and as the same time find employment that will make them feel tha, they arc net altogether burdss ss the people. Cochiss is entitled to some recognition. and as everything else has been taken, establish the ter. ri,orial poor farm and locate it iu G. chiss county.
 The county hospitals in the diflss snt counties of the t.rritery are mest of the time full of patients, and while many of them are pay patients, snd others gre too serely afflicted to bs subject fora residencs on spoor farm
 there are . great many of these in- ma.es of county hospitals who are able te work, but who need the care and attention of physician, hence they are forced into the hospitals at heavy expense to the taxpayer, while if there vas . territorial poor farm where they could receive proper care the sxpenss would not be nearly % great and st the same time the unfor- tunatss world feel that they were giving their sevicss for the care bestowed and this would make them more eontsnted and preserve to them in . degree their Independence.

THE ROBBERS AGAIN.
They are Thought to be Head
 ing for Their Old Haunts.

The Albuquerque Democrat ssys Deputy AAIshan H. W. Loomis re- csivsd frcn the rsilrcsd company ysstsrdsy the three dynamite bombs lsis by the train robb,rs near the sUs.s of shs attempted holdup at Rio Pueres ,hs night ei O'tober ?. He took them to she old bridge over the Rio Grsnds back to the fair grounds and dissscssd then. One was com possd of four stiets of giant powder. each containing fuse about one foot in lssgih. with giant cap on and, and embodied ia the powder. all firmly bound together with csnvas stripe and rope strings. The seeond con ssiped seven sticks of giant with one fuse in the middle which had dipped out sf the cap and would probably have failed to explode. The third con- sainsd niae ssicks of giant with fuse and esp we'll placed in . stick in the ssntsr and firmly bound with an old Asur sack snd cloth and rope string, shs fuse being about four feet in lsngth.
 Thsss bombs. e every miner will know, were heavy enough to wreck . ear, and ths lass named would be . terrible instrument of destruction. They all contain cd Hercules No. 2," and Giant No. 2" A bsx Of giant caps were also found near the bonbs. The original purchase of material must have bssa twenty sticks of dy- nanits, tsa feet of fuse and . box of saps."
 Jsis believed that the robbers .f:s: leaving Rio Puerto headed back toward shis county apd are new hiding .s the meunsain f..:a.ssss. sns:if Fly and his dsp1t;es are on the alert snI con- stant lookout.
 It would not be surprising to hear of this band attempting to hold up the g. r. train as N srst feared. Their attempt to rob the EogaIes bank ald later the A. A r. holdup proved unsuscsssful will fire them with de- tsYmination and make them mere dsspsrats than ever in thsir next attempt.
 The uttsI disrsgArd fer human life, as shown by the robbers in the prepar. atisn of these bombs described by the Democrat, ought ts appeal to the public to assiss the officers in evsry way possible in arrss,ing shose whe are still ct large.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipatedc condi- ton of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt ly removes. That is why it IS the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilit ating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- Ecial effects, to note when you pur- chase. that you have the genuine arti- ole. which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actral disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need .f laxative, one should have the best, and with the wsll-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely 1ssd and gives most general sa- isfactioa.
