The Method of a Great Treat

Which Cured Him After Every

Painful diseases are bad enough. brt
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodinps
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There is no let up to the mental si.s-

scarcely responsible for what they do, For
years the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea Of sexual weakness until IL
was a question whether he had not better

troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid In the shape Of a combina-
tion OF medicines that not only completely
restored the general health. but enlarged

and viRnr, and he now declares that any

SpeUful Correspondence Of Tho Onto,
SANTA FE, N. NJ, April 10Th, 1897.
The ancient capital was agog, to-
day, for a time, over the report that
Don Pedro Perca. the Bernalillo poll
tician, had distanced all aspirants and
was reasonably sure Of tho governor
ship. The news came in a private
dispatch from Sheriff IL. O.. Bursum. of
socorro, who is in Washington aiding
Mr.. Hugh N. Price town the prizs.
and while the uninitiated appeared to.
give the report some c~redence, tho
knowing ones winked the other eye
and turned away with q laugh, observ-
Ing that Bursum Is u 'smoodth" poll
tician and merely adopts this as a ruse
whereby to square himself with a GER
tain element Of his party.
Still little else than the governor
ship Is talked of here, and many there
are who hold TO the belief that the mat
ter will simmer down next week to a
contest in which Wallace, Prince and
some outsider, probably Gobin,of Phil
adelphia, will be the central figures.
They argue thus: Collier has sup
porting him the solid Ohio delegation
and Ohio is already much in Official
evidence; Wisconsin stands pat for
Price; likewise, Iowa for Pray, so we
have three big republican states in the
fight, which will practically force Nc
Kinley to a choice between Wallace
and Prince or run in an entire stranger.
At any rate, this is the talk.
ZWagers are offered mere that ex-Del-
egate Catron will be the republican
candidate for delegate, two years
hence, or will suffer the defeat of his
life. He has had just taste enough of
Washington plum-puddiug to make his
appetite banker for more. An ex-dele-
gate p~ostoflice frank is good on all 8
first-class matter for a period of eight
months, after he quits Office. and they
do say that the amount OF stuff Ca,ron
is now ranking out through the Santa
Fe and Washington postoiiices to voters
in New Mexico would fill n two-horse
wagon, six times a week. Garden
seeds, pamphlets, tariff speeches, ETC.,
make up this grist and they are plainly
intended to keep the voters alive TO the
fact that be is very much alive.
A new town IS budding down
the Pecos, 100 miles south of
Las Vegas. Lonny Horn, Dan
Taylor, the Doss estate and ott er own
ers, who control the 1000 acres com
prising old Fort Sumner, are to have
their individual tracts snrve ged and
set aside TO them. The Rosw sll-Ama-
rillo railroad will cross the Pc cos at or
neal Fort Sumner and 1t ooks like
these landholders were getti az ready
for a new TOWNSHIP project.
Col. J. B. Brady, ex-Sh .riff Gun
ningham and Beecher Twi nhell are
working thirty men in their mines on
the Rio de Jerez, southwest of Zaca-
tecas, state of Jalisco, Mexico. They
claim to have properties thar yield so
per cent. copper and Sl2o in gold.
Good thing that, apparently.

has been misunderstood and mis-.

it IS not intended that they shall dc

AoUEER story is related Of Judge
Stephen F. Wilson, a former federal
judge in New Mexico, who recently de-
parted this life at his eastern home.
A few years ago, the judge erected an
unique vault in the village cemetery.
1t is in the form of a log cabin, and is
constructed OF q Grecian gray stone,
obtained in Ohio. At the head of the
sarcophagus, stands a marble bust OF
the judge. The inscription on the
marble slab covering the receptacle
gives the name and date of birth, with
q blank for the insertion of the date Of
his death. Underneath all this, is this

SUNDAY.

FASTER SUNDAY.
Tomorrow j. the Christian festival
observed in conmemoration of the
Saviour's resurrection. The festival
is accounted one OF the three great
events of the Christian yesr-the other
two being Christmas and Whitsuntide.
From the earliest period of Christian
ity down to the present day, it has al
ways been celebrated by believers with
the greatest joy. The advent of the
great festival day will gladden. the
hearts Of all good church people. The
darkness and sadness Of the Lenten
season will give place to brightness
and Joy of Easter. The churches of
the city will be fully prepared for the
services of the day. The air in each
will be- sweet and heavy with the
perfume Of flowers. Amid these frag-
RAM tokens, these first fruits OF them
that slept, will rise the keynote of all,
the joyous message, "Christ IS risen
from the dead" "He is RISEN" will
sing all ehoirs in strains of harmony.
''Hs is risen, indeed I" will respond
the throngs of worshippers as glad It'd
ings fill the air, lingering in every
swelling organ tone and ascending with
the perfume of every flower. The
beautiful anthems, masses and hymns
that the choirs have chosen so fittingly,
commemorate the most significant day
of the Christian year will fall on the
willing ears Of all in resounding and
beautiful notes as tributes to the risen
Lord. In every church there will be
some observance of the day. What
ever form it may take, the celebration
will be everywhere heartfelt. From
each pulpit the story Of the resurrec-
ton will be told in glowing words.
Every nearer will be deeply impressed
with the significance of the day, and
its joyous observances.
That the observation of Easter is as
ancient as the time of the Apostles
seems undoubted. The sacrifice OF
Christ, and his glorious resurrection
the mightiest event in the worlds
history since the early ages OF Chris
tianity, bias been celebrated with
various solemn ceremonies. As a re-
ligious feast, Easter has blessed mem
cries. 1t commentaries the great fact
of Christ's resurrection, without which
his death would have been sin vain"
1t is not merely a day to be observed,
but a great event to be commemorated.
Hence, the Christian heart rejoices that
Christ is 'srisen from the dead, and
become the first fruits of them that
slept"
Good Friday, the day Of our Saviour's
cr~uciixion, has also been observed as
q rigid fast for ages, and is kept as
such by many denominations in this
country. Even among those who do
not mark the day with sad or deyo-
tional ceremonies, it is remembered
with humble and grateful hearts. 10
the spring time, when all nature begins
to revive from the long sleep of winter,
Is the time when Easter comes. The
grass begins to get green on the graves,
and God seems to call all life from its
cold sleep of winter. This teaches a
beautiful lesson; we may we'll believe
that If God sends new life to the grass
on the tops Of the graves, He will not
to bring life again to the bodies
of those who sleep beneath. Easter is
. joyful holiday, and all nature seems
Din in the glorious Easter hymn.

STATE OF GOOD ROADS.
sarked improvement of New Jerssy's
Public Iiighways


In his annual report Just ISIS ued, Henry
1. Bndd. state commissioner OF public
roads in New Jersey. says: THE state
ala law has stimulated the property
holders OF many counties TO spend hun
dreds o. thousands OF dollars upon
their roads, 10 meet the state appro-
priation."
Under this law the state has paid
since 1892 SiG6,5o5 for the improve
ment OF the highways, which, added to
the amounts spent by counties and in
dNiduals, makes an aggregate expendi-
ture within six years of 1900, 900 for
permanent roads in New Jersey. There
are 10000 miles of roads in the state,
aid about 800 miles of the most FREE
quented highways have been improved
permanently, on modern lines. Tempo
rary improvements are being made in
every county. Many good roads
leagues and associations have been
formed. Through the agitation which
they induce they have brought forth
money and labor from their respective
communities.
Smooth, hard roads, beautifed by
trees and shrubbery, have developed
under the stimulus of these local
roads leagues. Foot paths and cycle
paths have been created, and the APP
pearance of various communities have
been so changed that they have be-
come attractive centers of settlement.
TOO much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance of these associations"
Gays Commissioner Budd "There is no
power so useful as that which per.
suades each and every person or com.
munity to do their best to help the
selves by their cSn labor and contribu-
tons"
A novel feature OF the good roads
movement in New Jersey is the PROPOSE
ton to introduce instruction on road
building into the common schools. The
need of elementary instruction in that
direction is seen every day. The state
report says: THE ignorance that pre-
walls among the average rural residents
regarding the proper manner of repair
ing even the common roads shows a
striking necessity for some kind of
uiAtb ~ Nhi>h
our ordinary township authorities will
he able to make the best use of the
cver-present materials for keeping the
roads in proper repair. In travelling
over the country we often see men re-
pairing miry roadway by throwing
mud from the bitches into the middle
OF the roadbed. In all our communities
it is a common practice to scrape the
wornout material, that has been re-
pentedly washed from the center of the
road back into the middle of the road,
only TO be again washed out by the rain
or TO be waded through as deep sand.
Upon our macadam highways there is Il
prevailing spirit Of neglect; instead Of
immediately repairing the little breaks,
our county officials leave them until
