such condition of affairs, for honest
men who may have business with the
owners to visit the machines only in
daylight.-Adrian Guardian.
A deal was made last week where
by J. D. Matteson comes into full
control of the Worthington -four mill.
He purchased the interest of Mr..
Hawkins and his deceased brother in
the lease, which gives him possession
for two years. Under the old man.
agement the mill has enjoyed llber-
al patronage and has done good
business, supplying nearly all the
-four and feed used in this vicinity,
besides shipping great deal. Their
-four is equal to any manufactured,
and so conceded by all using it. Mr..
Matteson being the miller is suth-
cient guarantee of the quality of
flour for the future, and merits the
whole patronage in this line.

appointment as postmaster, and
the other candidates were inform

The successful candidates friends

Mr.. McCleary came. here and
took the trouble of going around
town to the office of business mell
and asking others whom he might
meet on the street who their frs,
and second choice for postmaster
was. This gave our citizens tc
understand that the Office :would

may seem proper but after reflect

made no promises and are entitled
to some consideration for their

every one that the leaders of either

think the people here would moi
have felt the disappointment sc
keenly if they had not have beer

From all Indications Mr.. Nc
Cleary's method in making these
Recommendations is very unpopu
lar, and causes strained relations
between the people and the loca
workers for the party, which dis
turbs the harmony that usually
prevails To sum it up, if Mr.

would have been very little crit

Mr.. Coughran, having had OK
perience in the postal department
and with his ability, will, withou
doubt, make a good officer ane

He has not appointed an assis

Of our school are taking advantage
OF the unusually excellent enter

an intellectual treat to all, and are
especially helpful to those who
are studying ancient and English

It seems too bad that our gym

would amount to without athletic

casting his eyes below, he discov-

melted and the rims bursting out
in bright sheets of fame. He was
so surprised and joyful at having
accomplished such wonderful
feat that he lost his balance and
fell to the ground with consider.

woke him up, and he sat up in bed
for half an hour, rubbing his eyes

THE NOGAL DISTRICT.
A Change In Mining Matters Due to
Recent Transfers OF Mining Prop
erty to Energetic Men.

Special to the New Mexican.
Lincoln, N. NJ, July 29.-Transfers of
mining property in the Nogal district to
energetic mining men who have the
means to erect machinery and actively
operate properties have brought about q
great change in mining matters in the
mountainous portion of Lincolnl county.
The caving in of the Old Abe, and obsta-
oles to working other good mining prop.
critics in the White Oaks district made
in 1896 and the early days of 1897 very
dull time in that famous camp, but the
resumption of operations in the past few
weeks has changed all this and everything
now indicates great prosperity in and
around White Oaks for the rest of the
year.
Eastern capitalists have made heavy
investments In the Salado coal fields since
the first Of the year, and the prospects
for railroad that will give an outlet,
not only for the coal, but for the prod.
ucts of the farms and ranches, are very
good; in fact this road now seems almost
certainty. The high prices for cattle
has brought about change for the bet
ter In this industry, and cattlemen are in
position to make money out OF their
stock. The wool and sheep industries
are also taking on new life.
The building of the proposed railroad
will open great country foil of valua-
BILE resources, and this section of New
Mexico will become the most prosperous
Of the entire southwest.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.
Every County in New Mexico will BE
Represented by An Exhibit, and the
Prizes Offered Are Larger Than
Ever Before.

The prospects for an enormous fair at
Albuquerque were never so good as this
year. Space has been engaged for sew
eral large exhibits already and there is
hardly county in the territory but what
has taken up the question Of making an
exhibit. The fair management has assur-
ances from San Juan, Dona Ana, Sierra,
Grant, and Socorro counties that they
will make exhibits as county while sew
eral other counties are considering the
proposition favorablY and will no doubt
come to the front.
The management of the fair. feel conf
dent that there will be at least II counties
that will make exhibits there of fruit,
farm, and garden products, and mineral.
This is as it should be. There is no bet
ter way to advertise the resources of New
Mexico than by combining the products
of a county and making showing in
quantity as well as quality. The prizes
offered for county exhibits this year are
80 large that any county can with ener-
getic effort stand reasonable show Of
winning prize which will cover all the
ex penses of the exhibit.
Santa Fe county should be we'll repre-
sented with her choicest and best prod
ucts.

Tim Connolly, Who is at Boston City

An Interesting Letter ON That
Much Discussed Section.

A letter has been received in Ration by
Mrs. Geo. Davey, from her brother, Tim
Connolly, who is in Boston City, on the
Yukon river, Alaska, which was written
April 4, and carried by man 1000 miles,
to juneau.
Mr.. Connolly writes that he left Juneau
for the Yukon last winter, and in CON-
pany with three others, was 100 days in
travelling 1000 miles. Five dogs dragged
a sled upon which was loaded 1000
pounds of provisions. One of the party
died on the way, and the body was placed
on the sled and taken 200 miles to Boston
City, where the burial occurred.
Wages are $15 per day, but bacon sells
for 50 per pound and flour at $50 per
sack. As these two articles constitute all
the food the miners have, fully one third
of the men are afflicted with the scurvey.

and mines, Mr.. Connolly says:
"This is wonderful country. The
winters are cold, 60 to so degrees below
zero. We have three short summer
months to work in, from June to the last
part of September. There is no night

Edwin Flanagan to be Hanged In At
lanta, ga, for Killing Three People
ON the 3Ist OF Last December.

Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-Edwin Flanna-
gan was today convicted Of murder and
sentenced to be hanged August s.
Flanagan, carpenter, had mania
for seeking to marry very young girls.
His method was to advertise for norse
for mythical niece, and when young
girls answered the advertisement, he
would select the prettiest one and pro-
pose marriage. Through these means,
he made the acquaintance Of, and went to
board with the family of g. W. Allen. He
conceived an infatuation for Leila, the
IL year old daughter, and asked several
times her hand in marriage. Being re-
fused, he conceived the idea that Allen
was having improper relations with his
own daughter. On the night of Decem-
Der 81, at the supper table, he shot Allen,
his mother, and Miss Slack, visitor
Flanagan explained the crime by saying
a plot was being formed against him, by
the Allen family, because of the discovery
of criminal relations between father and
daughter. The testimony revealed a re-
markable case of sexual perversion.
