THE Dupont Powder Works at Gibbs
town, N. j., has just finished the manu-.
facture of one million pounds of dynamite.
just whom this large amount of explosive
will be consigned to is mystery, but it is
rumored that it is for the Cuban insurgents.
Work on the order was pushed with all
possible haste, the plant being in operation
night and day for weeks.
THE buildings of the Missouri Military
Academy at Mexico, Mo-, were burned to
the ground last Thursday morning. About
10O cadets were asleep in the dormitory
when the alarm was given, and so quickly
did the flames spread that many of them
were compelled to jump from the third
story windows to the ground. Several were
severely injured, Loss, 100000; Insurance.

4 PORTION of the city of San Marcos, near
San Antonio, Texas, is under from five to
twenty feet of water. All business is sus-
pended, but the work of relief progresses
slowly because the town is divided by a
raging torrent and traffic except by boat is
impossible in the flooded district. Many
people, including whole families, were res.
cued from the tree-tops last Monday by
men in boats. Four people are missing and
all hope of their being found alive has about
been abandoned, as the house in which they
were living was washed away.
THE main building of Mount Holyoke
College, at South Hadley, Mass, together
with the two wings and gymnasium, were
destroyed by fire early last Sunday even
ing. There were no adequate fire COM
panies about the place and assistance was
called from Holyoke and Northampton.
Three steamers were sent from Holyoke
and one from Northampton, but. as the
water had to be pumped nearly half mile,
it offered no check to the flames. Much OF
the furniture and contents of the building,
including large part of the students prop.
erty, was saved, and no one was injured so
far as learned Mrs. Mead, the president of
the college, was overcome by the excite
meDt. Several Of the students were rem
dered homeless, and they were given quar-.
tiers in South Hadley.

In a recent letter to the manufacturers,
Mr.. W. T. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator,
Rushford, n. T., says: " 1t may be pleas
ure to you to know the high esteem in which
Chamberlain's medicines are held by the
people of your own state, where they must
be best known. An aunt of mine, who re-
sides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me
few years since, and before leaving home
wrote me, asking if they were sold here,
stating il they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like to be
without them" The medicines referred to
are Chamberlains Cough Remedy, famous
for its cures OF colds and Group; Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest and
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhpa Remedy for bowel complaints. These
medicines have been in constant use in
Iowa for almost quarter of century. The
people have learned that they are articles of
great worth and merit, and unequaled by
any, other: They are for sale here by g.

Although Mrs. Matte Walker, elder
daughter OF Enos r. Walker, and wife OF
Melvin u. Burnham, had long been in very
poor health, her death, which occurred early
last Friday morning, came with surprise to
our citizens. The disease was consumption.
and all feel that death must have been a
sweet release to her, such has been her suf-
fering Though comparatively young at
her decease cher age was thiIty-six years.,
she had borne five children, four of
whom survive her. For years she had been
a devoted member OF the Congregational
church here, and active as a Christian En-
deavorer and temperance worker. Having
been called, providentially, to bear many
heavy burdens in life, through sickness in
her family, etc, the rest into which it il be-
leved she has entered must be an exceed
ingly sweet one, however great the trial to
leave behind husband and young children
needing mothers love and care and
training. She was buried from her home,
Sunday afternoon, in the village cemetery.

JUGGLING WITH STATEHOOD.

So much scullduggery has been going
on at Washington over the new statehood
bills that it is difficult to keep track of it
all. The other day the Associated Press
informed US that, in the midst of meet
ing of the house committee on territories
and without any definite action whatever,
q motion to adjourn was carried by a
vote of five to six. Yesterday came the
news that the committee had "reconsid-
cred the former vote against the Arizona
and New Mexico statehood bills, thus
leaving them atill before the committee"
In this indirect manner comes the first
intimation that the bills had been actual
ly voted down in committee. Where was
Delegate Catron when all this happened?

the BEEF TRUST ON TOP.

1t was all right for Senator Vest to turn
his calcium light of truth on Secretary
Morton, and as the representative of an
admiriug western constituency to force
the secretary to comply with the law re-
lative to the distribution of seeds, but
Speaker Reeds house wasn't satisfied
with that. Under the guise of carrying
the Vest idea little further the house on
Tuesday struck out of the agricultural
appropriation bill the several amend.
ments to the meat inspection act of 1891,
recommended by Secretary Morton,
which would have given him additional
power to enforce the regulations and
strengthen the Law by the imposition of
penalties for violations. The real obi ect
of this is quite apparent. The beef trust
has Speaker Reed and his Republican
house grabbed!

THROUGH some of his organs in New
Mexico Delegate Catron should report
progress on his statehood bill. The an
nouncement from Washington that it is
still before the committee is not at all re-
assuring to the real friends of statehood.
That's the fix the bill he's been in already
far too long, and when We consider that
eleven of them are Republican goldbugs
the gloom doesn't vanish particle.

Gold at Cripple Creek.

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Greek,
Colo, is attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be enor-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond doubt.
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the Santa
Fe Route, the only standard guage line
direct to the camp. Through Pullman
sleepers and chair cars. The Santa Fe
lands you right in the heart of the Cripple
Greek.

Mischief Makers Mt Las Cruces.

s. Instead of trying to ascertain
the facts, these human centipedes crawled
about the town, leaving venom in every
footprint and putting murder into the
minds of excitable men. This is no ex-
aggeration. Everybody in Las Cruces
knows by this time-for the women tell
what the men whisper, and little children
repeat like parrots what they hear at
home-that responsibility for the foul
deed has been charged malevolently upon
citizens of the highest standing and that
the half-crazed sons of the missing man
have been urged to seek revenge with the
rifle and the shotgun.
1t is not probable that the maleyolent
lunatics will succeed in fomenting serious
trouble, but they may keep this political
tarantula nest stirred up to the very
verge of active hostilities for an indefinite
period, to the advantage of nobody but
dealers in emmunition.--Las Cruces In

PRESS COMMENT.
Eddy COunty'S Plan.

The county board at it's recent meeting,
acting under the advice of the district at
torney, decided to apply the amounts re-
ceived from taxes during 1896 to payment
of claims against the county accruing in
1896. This will leave about $4,000 of un-
paid claims of 1896 to be held over until
the legislature can make some legal pro-
vision for the payment of indebtedness.

WILL Be HEARD FROM.

1t is moro than possible that Mr.. Gable,
national Democratic committeeman from
Illinois, failed to properly represent the
Hon. VIM. R. Morrison the other day
when he is reported to have said in Chi
cago that Mr.. Morrison would consent to
become the presidential nominee only on
condition that gold standard platform
were adopted in convention. Mr.. Morri-
son certainly did not authorize anybody
to speak thus for him. His idea, as the
New MEXICAN gathers from those who
have discussed the matter with him, is
that the occupant of the White house
shall not set his opinion on finance and
many other subjects up against those ex-
pressed by the voters of the nation
through their representatives in congress.
He believes with Senator Vest, and, we
might say, majority of the Democrats
in the west and south, in the proposition
of coupling liberal and general declara-
tion in favor of silver with an assertion
of party policy that the constitutional
veto power of the president is limited
and does not warrant a veto of tinan-
cial measure approved by the deliberate
Judgment of both house and senate.
With this idea uppermost in his mind
Mr.. Morrison is coming west to have a
conference at an early day with his Hill
nois associates, and we believe that he will
ere long be heard from in person and in
a manner that will prove gratifying to all
Democrats.
