and satisfactory Democratic meetings
ever held in the territory closed and the

The Prize Fight Law.

A bill introduced by the representative
of Grant county at the last session of
the New Mexico legislature making prize
fighting felony, and killing a mar in
such fight murder in the first degree, fail
ed to pass the house by vote of 10 to a.,
and there is no law against prize fighting
in New Mexico, except the common law,
under which it is disturbance of the
Eeace and not felony.
Had public sentiment been aroused last
winter as it has been since the fate of the
bill in the legislature of this territory
would have been different one. At the
next session adequate punishment for
the human brutes who make public ex
hibition of their brutality for gain will
be provided by statute and New Mexico
will not thereafter be dlsgraced by
alleged sport, which even in Texas is
elony.-Silver City Eagle.

Mr.. Quay to-day ~ odified his resolution
to recommit the tariff bill so as not to
include instructions to the committee,
and at his own request it went over until
Mo-'- rnn
! ), Populist senators have de. led in
caucus to vote solidly against, recommit-
ting the silver substitute for the tariff
bill.
If the Democrats stand together against
the Quay motion, the decision of the
Populists insures its defeat.
SECRETARY SMITH ON PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Secretary Hoke Smith, in a conference
with the house Pacific railroads commit
tee to-day, advocated the foreclosure of
the government mortgage on the Pacific
railroads aud the re sale of the roads.
He declared that there would be no diff.
Guilty in dong this without government
ownership Of the roads, to which he was
opposed absolutely. He recommended
that congress pass an act forfeiting the
lands granted the two companies, ex.
emption being made in favor of bona
fide purchasers from the railroads. If
congress did not legislate, he would re-
woke his suspension orders and patent
tie lands to the roads.

The work of scheduling and classifying
the bond bids opened yesterday was re-
sumed to-day and until the task is COM
pleted no exact information can be OBJ
tained as to the amounts bid for at each
of the several rates, or how low rate
will be accepted.
The bid of j. p. Morgan and his asso
ciates will undoubtedly be accepted for
largo amount, variously estimated at
from $45,OoO,00O to 55,OO0,OO0.
In any event it can be stated that all
legitimate bids at rate above that sub
mitted by Morgan, 1106677, will be ac-
cepted and all bids below that rate will
be rejected.

HEADLESS WOMAN AFFAIR
Murderers of Pearl iryan, Found
Dead Opposite Cincinnati,
Have Confessed.
INDIANA PREACHERS SON IMPLICATED
A Shocking Story of Ruin, Abortion
and dMurder-Bloody Satchel Found
in Which Unfortunate's Head
Was Carried Away.

CINCINNATI Feb. 6.--Scott Jackson, &C.
cused of the murder of Pearl Bryan, OF
Greencastle, Ind. has confessed and i'm
plicates Alonzo NJ. Waling.
Walling has also confessed to per-
sonal knowledge of the murder. Wall
ing tries to lay the whole blame on jack
son.
jackson, while he admits mis- own guilt,
takes pains to implicate Waliing.
The satchel,w which the murdered woman
brought here on January 2S, was shown
to jackson to examine the blood stains
in it.
He would not quite admit that the head
had been in the satchel, but said it looked
as if it had been there.
Previously Jackson SAID: 81 am af-
ilicted with fainting spells, aud after they
pass away I get delirious and don't know
what am doing. When | was a boy,
living in Indianapolis, have arisen in a
de!rium after spell, dressed myself and
wandered around for hours without know
ing what had DONE"
Scott jackson made his confession by
small statements because he saw the
clouds evidently gathering around him.
He WAS told of the details of the crime.
When he admits that the girl was mur-
dered, he does it as if third person had
committed the crime.
His roommate, Alonzo Walling, has
confessed to a knowledge of the crime,
but only as a go-between for Jackson.
There is no doubt that Jackson was the
principal.
William Wood, arrested at South Bend,
Ind, is deeply implicated. A bundle of
letters from Wood to jackson bear this
part of Jackson's confession out.
Nearly all of Woods letters are about
the girls and some are too grossly in
decent to be read aloud.
Pearl Bryan would have become a
mother in four months. Jackson says
that Wood was responsible for her condi-
tion.
She arrived at the Cincinnati, Hamilton
g. Dayton depot here, on Tuesday night,
January 2S, at O'Clock.
Joha Belli took her to the Indiana
house and by her orders notified Jack
son. She told Belli that if Jackson did
not come to see her Walling would.
UuChSOu bdy o budu sHo CdtAO uOlO w iidNu
an abortion performed. He implies that
Walling procured it. He admits that she
was killed in an attempt to perform the
operation.
Neither Walling nor Jackson are
specific in their statements as to where
and how the crime was performed. Both
agree that it was committed on Friday
night.
Walling is more frank. jackson speaks
stolidly, but looks as if he would burst
with remorse.
YOUNG WOOD ARRESTED.
South Bend, Ind.--Will Wood, son of
Rev. D. A. Wood, of Greencastle, Ind,
was arrested here on account of a tele-
gram alleging that he might be an ac-
complice in the murder of the young
woman at Fort Thomas, KY, whose head
less body was found there last Saturday
morning.
1t is alleged that Wood put the un-
fortunate girl on the train at Greencastle
and was the last person at that place
seen with her.
Wood and the officers left for Cincin-
natl to-day.

She Nerer San, the Woods.

Thirty-five boys and girls in Chicago
who recently applied for admission to
the Medill Summer School, were asked
to answer the following six questions:
l. Were you ever in the woods? 2. Did
you ever see the lake? 3. Did you ever
pick flower? 4.Were you ever in the
park? ). Did you ever ride in wagon
behind horses? 8. Did you ever ride in
a car on the railroad!
On examining the answers It was
found that thirty out Of the thirty-five
had never been in the woods. nineteen
had never seen Lake Michigan, eight
had never picked a flower. During
the writing OF the answers one little
girl was found to be crying bitterly.
On inquiry it was discovered that she
had been obliged to answer no to nearly
all the questions, and twas afraid she
wouldn't pass" The boys and girls
who have had the privilege Of roaming
through the wood, riding on the lake
or river, and picking wild flowers car
scarcely understand what it is to be de-
priyed Of these pleasures.

Encouraging Signs.

The notable feature OF the business
situation is the steady advance Of prices.
indicting increased demand and a re-
newal of normal business activities in
the face of the uncertainty of the cleo
ton.
This is the answer of the American
people to the vociferous politicians who
are proclaiming calamity from the
stump.
1t shows the calm confidence OF the
people in the future and in their ability
to work out their salvation under the
blessings of law and popular sovereign
ty.
The Republic believes that the coun-
try will be the better nEder the suprem-
acy of the Democratic party. We feel
sure that the majority OF the American
people are of the same opinion, and will
record this opinion at the polls. But il
the majority OF the people do not think
this way now, we do not believe that
their votes will bring the ruin of the
country anc the utter destruction o
business.
The Frightening outlook proves tha
the people agree with US and; while de
batting and considering the political is
sues, are attending to business. The.
are blowing and planting, trading anC
manufacturing in the confident expecta
tion that they will fad market TO
their products. They are making con
tracts and preparing for activity an,
prosperity in the future.
1t is particularly gratifying TO Demo
Gratis to find in the encouraging situa
tion the refutation of the campaign how
of their opponents that the expects
election of Bryan is menace to busi
ness enterprises.

Circular No. A.
To THE worms OF IDAHO:


For the purpose of information and
TO correct any misunderstanding rela-
tive to the attitude of the Democratic
State Central C0Emittee in this cam
paign, the committee deems its advis-
able to make the following statement:
There has never been any departure
on the part of the committee from
the agreement entered into by
the Democratic and Peoples party
State Conventions; nor has there
ever been any intention to depart from
or set aside such agreement. The pow
ers of the committee are executive only
and they deem it their duty to make
every effort to carry out the wishes of
the State Convention and 10 elect the
entire ticket there nominated.
The Democratic party was the first
in the campaign to declare for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, at the
present ratio, without waiting for the
consent of any other nation. The Ma
tional Peoples Party Convention re-
affirmed this doctrine. Great aid and
assistance were given the silver move
ment by the action of those delegates
who withdrew from the Republican
National Convention, and that aid we
fully appreciate and recognize, and in.
asmueh as the Silver Republicans take
q stand on the silver question identical
with ours, and as we understand are in
favor of reform in State and county af
fairs, we therefore invite and request
them to put aside mere personal and
individual ambitions and to join with
us fully in electing the entire People:
Democratic ticket, to the end that oul
State as well as National affairs may
be well managed.
This committee is the only Demo
cratic committee in this State, and tn,
only one recognized by the Democrat,
National Committee of which james X
Jones is chairman. Many reports :,
the contrary have been circulated. bu
they are wholly without foundation
The Peoples Democratic ticket Is tn,
only Democratic ticket in the Stat.
recognized by the Democratic com
mittee.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee have hitherto acted, and the,
hereby declare their intention to con
tinue to act, in harmony with the let
ter and spirit Of the resolutions OF tn
Democratic State Convention, AM
we urge every Democrat to do like
wise.
