The OPTIC, Thursday evening:
Individuals Immediately connected with
the hot springs management should be the
last ones on earth, 1t would seem, TO dis
parage the purchase OF needed articles
from Las Vegas merchants, though 1t has
been done 10 a case or two recently-par-
ticularly should they not do so when it is
an admitted fact that our home merchants
carry In stock as fine lines of goods as can
be found in the establishments of Denver,
Kansas City and st. Louis, or any other
live western city.
/ cannot give credit to this article,
as we always do all we a for
merchants and business houses Of Las
Vegas, and II any n has such griev-
ance l would like to get 1t direct; as
for myself, l encourage u guests to go
down and do their trading and hold
the train, often one hour, for the
shoppers. JOHN 0. PLANK.

The most beautiful spot in Muske-
gon is ~inseparably associated with
n name of Hackley, and in all West
ern Michigan there is not a name bet
ter known, and among the studious
and those interested in deeds of phil
anthropy, this name is known and adj
mired. Chas. H. Hackley has been in
the lumber business continuously since
1856, and in that time has amassed q
fortune, which gives him a rating
among the wealthy men of the na-
ton. But with wealth there did not
come that tightening Of the purse
strings which is generally a marked
characteristic of wealthy men.
There Is no prettier spot in the State
than HackIey Park in a square sur
rounded and pierced by stone walls,
emphasizing with their wilderness the
green of faultlessly kept lawns, it's
browning pride a towering soldiers
monument on the top of which stands
a bronze figure pointing ever i'll re-
membrance of the heroes who died
that the nation might live. Surround
Ing this park are the magnificent
Hackley Public Library-a poem in
granite-with its 10000 volumes, and
the equally stately Hackley school,
like a beehive with its 900 children.
Other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the liberality and ~muniicence
of this man who has pulled wealth out
OF the forests of Michigan.
It Is no wonder then that the name
Of Charles II. Hackley is known at
home and abroad. His munilcence to
Muskegon alone represents an outlay
of nearly half a million. For the past
twenty years he has been q constant
sufferer from neuralgia and rheume-
tism, also numbneSs of the lower
limbs, so much so that it has seriously
interfered with his pleasure in life.
For some time past his friends have
noticed that he has seemed to. grow
young again, and to have recovered
the health which he had in youth.
To a correspondent of the Press, MI.
Hackley explained the secret of his
transformation, and to his friends
who have known how he suffered, 1t
Is indeed O transformation. IT have
suffered for ove twenty years." he
said, seated in his private office, with
pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief / could get at
night was by putting cold water COM
presses on my limbs. I was bothered
more at night han in the day time.

In intensity for years, finally became

Railroad

From the New Mexican.
1t is again current in financial cir.
Giles that the A., T. & S. F. will build
an independent Pacific coast line west
from Magdalena rather than pay
$4,000 a mile for the Atlantic & Pa
cifc road to be sold under foreclosure
early in July. 1t is said the A., T. g.
S. F. a build itspwn line and pre-
sent its stockholders with a far better
property than the A. & p, for $4,000
per mile. On the other hand, should
the A., T. & 5. F. relinquish the A. &
p, the Rock Island will come 10 and
utilize it as a competing line to the
Pacific-so there you are, and you may
just figure it out to suit yourself.
Three months will tell the story, how
ever, if you can wait, dear reader.

Robinson's Residence Ruined.

TOPEKA, Kas., April ia. A.
Robinson, president Of the Mexican
Central railroad, hos his family with
him in Mexico, and during their alb.
sence their Topeka home was left In
charge Of Mrs. Ida Wellman. About
three weeks ago, she commenced en-
gaging mechanics to make alterations
in the interior of the Robinson resi-
dence by having holes cut through the
walls, new double doors put in, and
the floors OF some of the rooms were
ordered taken up and replaced by
tiles. Costly wall paper and other
decorations we're ordered from New
York, and the improvements began to
assume such magnitude that some OF
Mr.. Robinson's railroad friends began
to investigate, with the result that the
repairs were found to be unauthorized
and that Mrs. Wellman is insane. She
was examined on the charge this after
noon, and will probably be sent to the
asylum to morrow. Mrs. Wellman Is
thlrty-nine years old, has resided here
fifteen years, and was divorced from
her husband last July.

The Optic hears that there is 10 be
a change in the Office of register Of the
U. S. land Office at Las Cruces and
that E. E. Sluder, of Santa Fe, is to be
appointed to the position. There is a
faction of the democracy in the sunny
town in the famed Mesilla valley that
is opposed to Mr.. Bryant. the present
register there, because the faction can-
not use him, and because he will not
bow the pregnant hinges of his knee to
the faction; hence be is to 60, if they

From the Albuquerque Citizen.
Las VEGAs, April 16-Chief Justice
Smith, 10 chambers. has recently made
a decision or ruling, which, II given sew
eral years ago, would have been Of
great benefit to the different counties,
aud is very good now. 1t Is to the
effect that the commissioners here
shall receive certificates OF allowance
or approved in payment OF
tho general fund tax Of the county.
Heretofore, the county might
owe a person a large amount Of money,
but the taxes had to be paid In cash.
This will ease up the counties greatly
and do q great deal toward putting
them on a good financial basis.
II Is reported on the street that the
Las Vegas mining and prospecting
company, watch was recently organ-
lied here, and has gone to work At
Lake Valley, rear the old silver COM
pany's property, has struck a rich
pocket and will withdraw all stock

no overrun with miners and prospec.

our people desire capitalists and capt.

The Huronlte in an interview with
Attorney General Crawford thus gives
his view OF the Huron convention. We
commend it to our anti. Pettigrew fire,
eaters rs a calm. dispassionate, patriotic
view: The convention" said he, "was
composed Of as fine a lot of men as can
be found 10 any state, and the wisdom
and fairness shown ought, and will, re-
dound to the good of republicanism in
South Dakota. The two opposing fac.
tons seem satisfied with the result, and
there is every reason to believe that the
convention at Aberdeen will be q OF
the finest and most harmonious in the
history of the party. The national COL
vention will have named our standard
bearer and promulgated a platform that
will meet the people generally, and there
will be nothing left for the party in
South Dakota to do but to name it's con
gressional and state ticket and to 60 in
to the campaign and win n of the
greatest victories ever won by any party.
South Dakota republicans are firmly
united and will continue to remain so,
each doing his level best to achieve Il
great party victory in November"

members from every legislative district.
The convention adopted resolutions
advising that taxes should be raised for
the direct purpose Of building roads;
that, if, possible, the taxes should be of
such a nature al not to add to the pre-
vious burdens Of the farmers, and that
roads should be built by contract, under
supervision of state and csunty officials
and not by labor of the farmers as has
hitherto been the case. In other words
the resolutions advocate q change of
the entire system Of road building as
prevailing in this state.
Several papers Of interest were read
at the convention.
