A short time ago we noticed in
the papers the statement that sew

falling behind with the running
expenses Of their offices, on account
Of the law making them pay their
own mileage. It is certainly strange
that these sheriffs would want to
be reelected.

Chief W. e. Bradley of the tribe, ac-
companied by two Of his braves arrived
at the executive mansion early the other
morning. The braves bore between them
on pole newly slain deer and q string
Of plump ducks. The chief, being ad-
mitted to the presence Of the governor,
gracefully begged his acceptance Of their
gifts, which the governor did with q
few words of acknowledgment. Turning
to his desk, the governor drew check
and presented it to the chief.
"No, no." said the red man, starting
back. "These things that we bring are q
gracious gift to you from u.s."
Every well, "rejoined the governor,
"this check is a gracious gift from me
to you.
This was new view of the matter to
the chief, and he finally consented to 40

great ruler" and strobe of in silence.

Marocco Jews Said to Carry on the Trade
Under the Stars and Stripes.
He'll Chatelain, traveller in the dark
continent, lectured before the American
Geographical society at Chickering hall,
New York. the other evening on "The
Internal Slave Trade In Africa" He
illustrated his remarks part Of the time
by stereopticon views.
"If any one thinks that slave trading
is thing Of the past. he said, she is
mistaken. Among the 200, 900, 900 Of
people in Africa at least 90, 600, 900 are
Slaves
If British estimate to which he re-
ferred was correct, Mr.. Chatelain said,
500, 600 lives were sacrificed every year
In the traffic For every slave that
reached the coast eight or nine were
sent to the interior The idea still pre-
vailing that all of the slave traders in
error. In large part of the interior
slaves were the regular currency. Par
ents sold their children. This internal
slave trade of Africa was the real open
sore of the world, as it was in Living.
stones time.
SIN Marocco," the lecturer added,
"slave trading is carried on under the
protection of our stars and stripes. Ma.
roccan Jews, who are prohibited by law
from holding slaves, place themselves
under the protection of our flag in order
to carry on the traffic.
There were in some parts Of the coun'
try, he continued, houses for breeding
slave children, who found ready mar.
ket He told as an instance of the NOR
tality among the slaves, by whom most
of the porterage is done, Of one explorer
who started in with 400 men. of whom
all that came out were 1870. "The first
slave caravan that saw" he said, chad
20 naked women. The leader told me
that 80 of his lot had died on the way
to the coast"
The lecturer showed picture Of q
slave 80 fastened that he could not move
q limb or turn his face from the broiling
sun that beat on it. He also showed
pictures of slaves who had been aban-
doned to die along the caravan roads.
According to the report of German
consul, strangers who knew not the road
to one city had only to keep in the mid
die between the two lines Of bleaching
bones of slaves who had been left to die
there and they could not miss their way.

west as California, and south into Old
Mexico. This business was established
in 1885. The firm consists of Ferdinand
Lowenthal and Ernest Meyers. Mr.
Lowenthal is a native of Wurtenburg,
and came to New Mexico in 1881, locat-
ing in Albuquerque. He is a progress
sive gentleman and takes an interest in
building up the town, and it is evident
the people appreciate his efforts in this
direction, for they showed their conf
dence by electing him city trustee in
1888. Among the fraternal orders Mr..
Lowenthal atfiliates with are the Masons,
Knights of Pythias and I. o. B. B. En-
ergetic and enterprising, he is very pop.
ular in the community.
Mr.. Meyers is native of Mississippi,
and came to New Mexico in 1880. He
has had life's experience in the liquor
business, and is keen buyer, displaying
sound judgment. In 1892 he was elected
to the territorial legislature and is
member of the immigration bureau, and
it's treasurer. Here his services give
universal satisfaction, and we predict
that it will not be long until further po-
litical honors are offered him. He is
member of the L. O. B. B., and belongs
to the Knights Of Pythias.

This is the pioneer hardware estab

the largest stocks Of any house in New
Mexico, and with trade, at both whole
sale and retail, extending all over the
southwest, it's heaviest patronage be-
ing, of course, throughout New Mexico
and Arizona. In these territories its
operations have always been extensive,
adding materially to it's trade from year
to year, and keeping pace with the in
dustrial and commercial development of
this splendid section of the southwest.
This company was established in 1881.
under very favorable auspices, and the
expansion of it's interests has been, to a
great extent. reflection of commercial
growth in New Mexico. With excellent
financial backing and growing coun-
try, it was the judgment of the promot-
ers Of this great mercantile enterprise
that the field offered exceptional oppor.

Q. f. Waugh, the efficient manager Of

his present position for period of six
years. He has been thoroughly trained

the management of one of the largest

young republic. His father, Captain
Sampson W. Ferguson, was an officer
in the confederate army, and did good
service under General Lee until the
close of the struggle.
For two years after leaving college he
had charge of boys academy in the
Shenandoah valley, and in 1876 he be-
gan the practice of his profession, the
law, at Wheeling, West Virginia where
he remained until 1882. During that
year he came to White Oaks, New Mex
leo, on mining suit, that was in the
courts for several years. In the course
of this long and tiresome litigation Mr..
Ferguson had an opportunity for be-
coming Thoroughly acquainted with the
territory, and long before the time came
for him to return home he had fully de-
termined to become identified with New
Mexico.
In 1884 he located at Albuquerque
and became associated in the practice of
law with w. B, Childers, the present
United States attorney for New Mexico,
which partnership lasted until 1887,
when another was formed with Judge
II. L. Warren, under the firm title of
Warren Il FERGUSON, which still ex-
lists.
In politics Mr.. Ferguson has always
been Democrat, and his recent nomi-
nation was in recognition of distin-
guished service to his party.
Such scenes Of enthusiasm as were
witnessed in the convention at Santa
Fe, where he was unanimously chosen
as the party leader in the congressional
fight just closed, has never been wit
messed in New Mexico, and furnished
ample attestation of Mr.. Fergusson's
great popularity in all parts Of the terri
tory.
The resultof the election on November
Bird, more than fulfilled the predictions
of his friends, and fully confirmed the
judgment Of many, high in the councils
of both of the great political parties, to
the effect that Mr. Ferguson would win
the race by handsome majority.
His election means great deal for
New Mexico, and the better class of peo-
pie throughout,the territorg, irrespective
of past party affiliations, heartily concur
in the verdict expressed at the polls on
November 3rd, with the assurance, that
the territory in Mr. Ferguson will be
represented at the nations capitol by
gentleman of answering integrity and
high ability who will strive at all times
to advance the interests of that great
civil division whose servant he is proud
to be.

The stock carried is valued at $3.50 900,
and goods are sold at both wholesale and

in its different departments, which are
always kept up to date, and filled with q
display of goods that would do credit to any

The Crystal Ice Company.


Albuquerque is far ahead of many
eastern cities in having the fine modern
plant Of the above company located in
her midst.
The factory was erected in 1891 and is
fitted with all the latest and most modern
appliances for the successful manufac-
turing of ice, having capacity of thirty
five tons per pay. Everything connected
with the premises is clean, and large
force of men is constantly employed.
The works adjoin the railroad, and their
product is shipped all over Arizona and
New Mexico, while they supply the At
lantic & Pacific and the Atchison,
Topeka a. Santa Fe railroads, and also
all Of their refrigerator cars en- route
east. That the ice manufactured by this
company is absolutely pure is proved
from the fact that only condensed steam
is used in it's composition.
The company was incorporated in
1891, and its present officers are: 1T.
Barraclough, president; A. A. Grant,
vice president; r. w. Hopkins, secretary,
and G. f. Myers, treasurer. All of these
gentlemen are largely interested in the
growth of Albuquerque and have done
much to aid it's advancement.
