COsas que Puede Traer COnsig0 ell
TrascursO de los Amos.

Nosotros disfrutamos en- la actuali-
dad, en- este Territorio, de un magnih-
co dominic, tanto por su extension,
como por sus recursos naturales. Este
dominic es digno y merecedor del NOM
bre de imperio, y no es iluslon pensar
que algdn dia llegue a ser efectiva-
mente un verdadero imperio en- rique-
zas y population. Para fundar tales
esperanzas nos abonan razones y pro-
babilidades que bastan por 81 solas
para convencer al mas incredible, pues
un pals tan extenso y de tan variadas
producciones no puede menos de al
canzar algdn dia la plenitud de su de-
sarrollo. Por una larga serie de amos,
Nuevo Mexico ha sido ell unlco pals
sehaIado por el abandono { indiferen-
cia con que ha sido rtado por los que
emigran de otros puntos en- busca de
nuevos hogares. Sc ha propagado la
idea de que este Territorio es un de-
sierto inhabtable, propio dnicamente
para servir de guarida a los animales
silvestres, y en- el cual los escasos ha-
bitantes resentados ALI arrastran una
existencia miserable indegente. Es-
ia ha sido la razon principal por la
cual Sc han desviado de nnestro suelo
tan.os millones de emigrantes como
han poblado otras comarcas favoreci-
das. En- rededor nuestro vemos evan.

han hecho productivos al empuje y es

bien dispuestos.
Fernando parte de una gran nacion

ANTI-DocKAGE LAW VOID.

Judge Alden Holds That the Kansas Legis-
lative Act Interferes with Private Con-
tracts
KANSAS CITY, Kan, May 11.-Judge
Alden, of the district court of this
county. rendered decision yesterday
in which he held that the new Kansas
anti-dockage law was invalid and un-
constitutional The question of the
constitutionality of the law was raised
in the case of Abram E. Beggs, chief
hog buyer for the Armour Packing Co..
who was arrested on the charge of vio-
1ating the new anti-dockage law by
purchasing hogs of G. w. Marley, of
Oswego, Kan, subject to the dockage
rule in force in Chicago and St. Louis.
Judge Alden's decision holding the
law unconstitutional was based on
the declaration that it interfered with
the right of private contracts. He said
In substance that the act called the
Kansas anti-dockage law was not in
any sense a police regulation. 1t was
not designed to prohibit the sale of
barred sows or stays, but its intent
was to prevent the owners of hogs
from making contracts for the DISPOSE
ton of their own property, in which
the public had no interest.

THE COURTlNG.
iIVLER & CEOOKs, Publishers,

Once there was maiden fair.
A many years ago,
With laughing eyes and misty hair,
many years ago;
And when the golden sun had fed
Beyond the hills and day was dead,
Unto her door brave youth sped,
A many years ago.
Adown the winding lanes they strayed,
A many years ago,
While Cupid on their heart strings played
many years ago;
And moonlit were the summer skies,
And lovelight glistened in their eyes,
And earth to them was paradise.
A many years ago
He told the story new. yet old,
A many years ago;
The sweetest story ever told, --=-.+
A many years ago.
He kissed her on her downy cheek,
Her bushes warm played hide and seek,
For love of him she could not speak,
many years ago.
The maiden fair and gallant swain,
many years ago,
Husband and wife at last became,
A many years ago.
But not each other did they wed.
She welded man whose wife was dead
He welded another maid instead,
many years ago.

GEORGIA RACE WAR.

Negroes Mob the Store of a Man Who Had
Killed One of Their Number.
WAYCROss, GA, May IA race war
at Demar, little town near here, re-
suited in bloodshed yesterday. c. A.
Demory, a storekeeper, refused to wait
on William Simmons, a negro politi-
clan of some repute. Simmons at
tempted to brain him with a scale
weight, whereupon Demory shot and
killed him. About four o'clock the
store was attacked by mob of ne
gpoes, who kept volleys of bullets
pouring through the thin sides of the
building until eight o'clock at night.
They seriously wounded Demory, Will
liam Hensell, James Boyd and two
brothers named Williamson. The
sheriff and a posse from Valdesta
drove the mob away and placed
guard about the wounded men for the
night. A number of the negroes were
shot, but none were killed, so far as
can be learned.

Schroeder has cost Sedgwick county in
court costs over $4,000. He was one

Record of the Clubs.

Only on inning and one-half of the game
at the Polo grounds in New York yester-
day afternoon were unusually stirring. The
remainder of the contest was as dull as a
country village ON a summers day. The
Giants batted like blind men brushing bum

plate that had barely enough strength 10

hit it. They curved their back bones and
sprained their biceps trying to do some
thing mere effective than mix I'D the at
EloSphere.
Most CT the runs pulled down by the
Washingtons had an error attachment In
the second Tucker got base on balls and
was forced out by Brown. Reilly and
Wrtgley followed with singles, Mercer and
Setback got bases on balls, and Gettmans
out at center gave Wrigley a chance to
score. which. with the runs of Brown and
Reilly. made three for the inning.
Three more were added by the Senators
in the sixth. With one out Meekin muffed
Browns fly, Reilly was hit by a pitched
ball, and Gleason fumbled Wrigley's hit
and threw wild, Brown scoring MERGERS
single sent Reilly and Wrigley home
The Giants made all they got in the last
half of the inning. Herman began with a
single, and Davis struck out. Singles by
Gleason, Gettig and McCreery, with Clark's
out at first, scored Herman, Gleason and
Gettig.

unfairness by the rowdy element.

discipline has gone "kitins' in the Baiti-

1t seemed as IL the Boston players were
on their tiptoes all the time and could have
hit anything that stepped into the box.
Look at Billy Hamilton's playing as an il
lCstration. Billy is for himself all the
time, yet he injured himself twice while
trying for a run and still remained in the
game.
The Senators were overlooked for the
time being, but when it was seen that they
were getting away with the New Yorks a
hearty cheer went up for Mercer and Tom
Brown.
That Toronto team must be hot members.

nicely. At the gait the Washington boys
