THE CITY HORSES DEAD.
Roth of the Noble Animals Collapsed
Day Before Xesterday-MaDy Pe0-
pie Believe They Were
Poisoned.

Both of the fine horses, owned by the
city and heretofore used for street sprink
ling purposes and hauling away garbage
died last night at the old government
corral. The New MEXICAN announced
yesterday that both of these noble ami.
mails we're sick with what was called lung
fever.
Itappears that day before yesterday
morning they were driven down TO an
arroyo below Fairview cemetery with a
load of garbage and soon after start
ing back both collapsed, their hips and
hind legs giving out 80 that they could
travel no further. There they remained
during the day and night without blankets
aud yesterday they we're hauled to the
government corral on one. of Mr.. Dud-
rows transfer wagons.
The consensus of opinion now seems to
be that the poor animals we're poisoned.

Docket.

to the Denver Republican, on yesterday
says:
The solicitor general, with the concur
renee of opposing counsel, has filed mo.
tion in the United States Supreme court
for advancement on the current docket
of the case of the United States against
the Rio Grande Dam & Irrigation com.
pany of New Mexico.
This company was incorporated for the
purpose of constructing reservoir and
bitches for lrrigating Purposes at or near
Elephant Butte, about 1876 miles north Of
Ell Paso, Tex. The company, it is al
legged, has already expended about $780,
600 on construction, etc. The govern
ment contends that the Rio Grande was
navigable and had been navigated by
steam b oats for $50 miles from its mouth,
and was susceptible of navigation up to
La Joys, about $50 miles above Elephant
Butte. 1t further contends that the
building Of the proposed dam would be
in oontravention of the treaty of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo. Those who are conversant
with the facts believe that the govern
mems will lose it's case before the Su-
preme court.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English
Scientist, Considered the Rest
start In Life.

The great English scientist, Huxley
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Qaotic
and hydrochloric) and peptogenic prod
ucts; the most sensible remedy in all cases
of indigestion, is to take after each peal
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
because they supply in pleasant, harm
less form all the elements that weak
stomachs lack,
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food we'll digested.
Nearly all druggists sell stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at so cents full sized
package.

bles to Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich.

PASTOR scRuGc's TROUBLE.
MisIead by the BIackshear Hoax
Fiend.

Waycross, Ga, Nov. 29.-The wedding
which was to have been conducted at 3
O clock yesterday afternoon in the Bap-
list church at Patterson, Ga, by Rev. w.
H. Scruggs, pastor of the Waycross Bap-
list church, did not occur, and thereby
hangs a tale. On Thanksgiving evening
of last week, Rev. Mr. Scruggs answered
a telephone call which purported to be
from NJ. Chauncey, at Patterson. The
speaker who claimed to be at Patterson,
said his name was NJ. Chauncey He
wanted Mr.. Scruggs to officiate at his
marriage, which, he said was to occur at
the time and place mentioned above. MIR.
Scruggs told the speaker that he would
perform the ceremony provided he could
get his pulpit here filled during his alb
sence. The speaker said an arrangement
could be made with Rev. Mr.. Horton of
Patterson, or Rev. Mr.. Cain of Blackshear
for an exchange of pulpits for the occasion.
The message seemed to the Rev. Mr..
Scruggs to be perfectly genuine, in fact,
he never suspected any evil. He went
about making arrangements with Mr.. Cain
at Blackshear for an exchange of pulpits
on Sunday, and succeeded in doing so after
writing letters, sending telephone mes
sages and making a visit to Blackshear on
SATURDAY. lie wanted some dOQlllQndI par
ticulars regarding the marriage event and
telephoned Patterson for them. No such
person could be found at Patterson and
nothing could be learned of any wedding
to take place on Sunday. There was a Mr..
Chauncey at Patterson, but his initials
We're NJ. G., and he was not preparing to
marry and had not telephoned Mr.. Scruggs.
AS nothing more could be learned con-
corning the affair Mr.. Scruggs decided that
he had been hoaxed. He Cancelled his en-
gagement with Rev. Mr.. Cain, and remain
ed a home yesterday.
In referring to the matter yes
terday from the pulpit Mr. Scruggs
said he received a message on Thursday
evening purporting to have been from a
prospective groom. He mentioned the
above particulars and remarked that he
thought the hoax came along with a batch
of other fakes Thursday night from Black
shear which have already been exposed
in the papers. THE people," he said,
Ought to be protected when they patron
lie telephone company, and if not, he
was in favor of having no telephone lines
in operation. The same party who tele-
phoned the fake lynchings to Waycross
on Thursday night from Blackshear evil
IDENTIFY hoaxed Mr.. Scruggs.
