DENVER, Col, May 22.-According to
dispatches from New Mexico, heavy
rains have so swollen the Rio Grandet
and other streams that considerable
damage has already been done and
more is threatened. The valley
north and south of Albuquerque is in
undated. The small Mexican villages
of Rachers de Attisco, Los Padillos,
Barelas and Atrisco near Albuquerque
are partly submerged, and a number of
houses are surrounded by two
feet of water. If the rise con-
over its bank to a greater extent
than at present. a number of adobe
houses will be washed down, valley
farms will be Obliterated, and there
will be great distress among the small
farmers. \ number of men are watch
ing the dyke north of Albuquerque. 1t
is believed there is no immediate dan
ger of its giving way.
\ heavy hail-storm killed thousands
of lambs, besides a great number of
sheep. s
Near Las Vegas and Springer, and up
through the Red river country, streams
are reported out of their banks and
bridges washed away, impeding
travel for several days. Consider
able damage is reported in the
Las Vegas hot springs canyon. One of

The Lowest Rates Ever Made to an
Exposition In This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of the admission OF
Tennessee into the Union is not a local af
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses in ex.
tent of buildings, beauty of grounds, inter,
and home attractions any exhibition ever
held in this country, with the possible ex,
ception of the Columbian of 1893. Located
as it is on the main line of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line
of travel between the North and the South,
and can be visited en- route with loss of but
little time. The extremely low rates that
have been established make it cheaper to 60

American ingenuity has always been a
wonder to foreigners. We know of no bet
ter illustration Of it than is displayed in the
manufacture of guns For instance, the re-
peating shot gun made by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, CT,
which %retails for about $40, will outshoot
foreign hand made guns costing 20 times as
much. This has been demonstrated time
and time again. The leading shots of the
country appreciate this and have put aside
their expensive guns for the less costly but
better shooting Winchester. The large
illustrated Winchester catalogue is sent
free upon request.
