CARRYING AN EIECTION.

The recent city election in Santa Fe
was, perhaps, the most d~isgraceful
that ever took place in that hot bed OF
rampant and %unprincipled democrats.
On the eve of election, over there,
the eyewitness, Juan Gallegos, and a
gang of roughs, were KEEP. quite busily
engaged in running down and arrest
ing republican voters, with the full
consent and authority ffom the powers
that be.
Forty republican voters were In the
city Jail and most of them were forced
to vote the democratic ticket, under
threats Of fine and imprisonment.
In ward No. /, the democratic can
didate for mayor got &C majority, by
promising the destruction of the water
works, by raising the grace" issue,
and by distributing a liberal supply of
orders for wood from the Manzanares
grant.
In ward 2, the polls closed at 6 :15
O'Clock, to enable two democratic vot-
ers to arrive in time by the narrow
guage. A majority of the judges re-
fused to close at 6 O'Clock, and it was a
queer coincidence that at the New
Mexican office the hands of the clock
were turned back fifteen minutes!
1t is estimated that at least so illegal
voters, all democrats, had their names
placed on the registration lists, and
most of them voted; likewise, many
republican voters were refused regis
tration.
The city marshal refused to obey the
order of Judge N. B. Laughlin, for the
release of the republicans in Jail, and
this dlsobedience was winked at and
condoned.
In the early morning Of election day,
some Of the democratic candidates
went to the city Jail ard promised re-
ward and immunity to all those who
voted their ticket. All this was done
openly and without concealment.
The Catholic priests preached SER
nom against candidates, not of their
faith, running on the republican
ticket for the board of education, and
this had due effect in some of the
The democrats made their most
desperate effort in the second ward,
trying to defeat Messrs. Dddrow and
candidates for the council and
school board, but were signally de-
leated by IA and 10 majority in a total
vote of 308.

TIMBER CLAIMS.
If There Ever Was a Man Who
Raised Ten Acres, This Will
Interest Him. !

From the Topeka Journal.
A ruling by Commissioners Lamor-
eaux has been received at Mr.. Hits
United States land Office, which will
interest what few Kansas timber claim
ants there are. About 100000 timber
culture claims were taken ia Kansas
from 1878 to 1886, and probably two
dozen were successes. The trees
wouldn't grow. In rare use they
have, however.
Heretofore, it has been obligatory
upon claimants of timber lands that
proof Of possession and presumption
should be recorded in the local land Of
fee. This necessitated a great deal of
travelling for persons who lived out OF
the land Office district in which their
land vas located.
If a man in New York had a claim
in Kansas he had to come to Kansas
every six months and .'prove up" until
his claim was paid for and became
his.
The new law and rule obviates all
this and gives the New York man with
a Kansas claim the right to stay at
home and send his sworn statement Of
proof.
The new section reads:
"That timber culture claimants shall
not be required in making final proof
70 appear at the land Office in which
proof is to be presented or before an
officer designated by the act of May
10th, 1890, within the county in which
he land is situated; but such claimant
nay have his or her personal evidence
aiken by a United States court CON-
missioner or a clerk of any court Of
'ecord under such rules and regula-
ions as the secretary Of the interior
nay PRESCRIBE"

Our little baby of two months was badly
afflicted with Eczema. 1t began when she
was three weeks old, and in spite of all our
kill and that OF two good physicians, she
continued to grow worse. Her head, arms,
neck, and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every
joint in her body, were raw and bleeding when
we concluded to try CUTIoURA REMEDIES.
The child being so mall and delicate, we
began with CUTIcuRA (ointmcnt), md CUTI-
oURA SOAR, according to directions, and after
the fret application zoe could see a change.
When we had used the remedies one week
she was very much better, some OF the sores
had healed entirely and had ceased to spread.
After using them for less than a month, tho
: child was free from scales and blenssshes, and
to-day has as lovely skin and hair as any

when four and q half months old, and took

CUTIcURA REMEDIES to all our friends, and
cannot praise them too highly.
