The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that Is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
potent strength by building up the con-
stituti0n and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it falls
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

TO the Editor OF the Optic.
sASTA FE, N. M, May l4th, 1897
II 10 getting to bo a saying In Santa
Fe that to get the news OF the town
one must read the Las Vegas or st.
Louis papers.
We have an excuse for a paper here.
but It does not pretend to give the
news Of tho day. The New Mexican
has degenerated sadly since it changed
hands. Mr.. Cross at least dared to
give tho news. lie could not be scared
or bought with a So a month adver-
tisement.
A few days since, contracts were
awarded for supplies at the penitenti-
airy. The thing was a rank swindle
and a matter Of great interest to the
public. The New Merican, however,
had not a word to say on it. You can
guess the reason.
Now comes apother sensation, that
has kicked up more excitement than
anything that has happened for ten
years in this town. Not q word from
the NeW Mexican. The story briefly
is this: On the morning of May 4th
Ed. Fenstermacher died very suddenly
at the Exchange hotel. A few hours
before his death, he had a prescription
filled at Fischer's drug store. 1t called,
among other drugs, for one grain OF
morphine, and was filed by Fischer's
clerk, a boy of eighteen, named Geo.
Kirby. Three hours after the death of
Fenstermacher, Kirby skipped the town
and has not been heard from since.
The s%upposition is that he got too much
morphine IN the medicine and thereby
killed the patient.
Kirby has been before the board oil
pharmacy three times for examination,
but failed each time. On the occasion
of his last appearance, he begged so
hard that he was given a certificate
which provided that he might put up
prescriptions only under the eye Of his
employer. OF course the provision has
not been complied with and he has al
ways had charge of the store in the alb
sence of the proprietor. The board OF
pharmacy is to blame in the matter,
but the New Mexican does not publish
anything that would reflect IN that
body because a member of the board
has a 50 a month advertisement in the
paper and threatens to take it out
should anything appear. Mr.. Fischer
has C ed very ~bonorably in the matter:
He acknowledges that the boy possibly
made the mistake. 1t has been decided
to take up the body and hold a post
norton examination to officially decide
as to the cause of the death. This will
probably be done tomorrow.
The question arises as to what pro-
lection the public has If the board OF
pharmacy is going to allow eighteen
year-old boys to put up prescriptiorsP
This is the kind of news that ought to
be published so that the public may
see the necessity of self-protection,
But the New Mexican is afraid.
Yours truly,
A TAXPAYER.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1897
To.DAY,s

The dedication to-day Of the statue
to the memory of the father of his
country, under the auspices OF the So
ciety OF the Cincinnati affords, apart
from its patriotic motives, a striking
and probably unparalleled exempliica-
ton OF American perseverance and de-
termination. Lacking six weeks, eighty
six years have elapsed since tho Penn
sy]vania branch Of that society, by
formal resolution, pledged itself to the
erection of this tribute to the first pres.
ident of the United States. For awhile
the project was received with enthus-
iasm and a considerable sum for those
DAYS was subscribed. Then came
apathy and encouragement. One after
another of the original committee died,
until not q familiar face remained, but
as each one passed away his place was
filled. At spasmodic intervals renewed
appeals for funds were issued. A
number OF patriotic citizens organized
an auxiliary committee, and at the end
of fifty-six years this auxiliary had &C.
cumulated $50, 900. The fund OF the
Cincinnati, IN the meantime, had reach
ed S137, 900. The two sums were
combined and the contract for the
monument was awarded to Professor
Rudolph Siemering, the celebrated
sculptor of Berlin.
To-day, therefore, marks the culmi-
nation of the patriotic intentions of the
two-score of Quakers that gathered in
Independence hall more than three
quarters of a century since.

It has been observed on the plaza that
ex Delegate Catron and the Hon. A.
Staab do not speak these days as they
pass by. The story is efloat that the
ex-delegate neglected to have the filing
stamp of the treasury office affixed to
Mr.. Staab's Endorsements for appoint
ment as internal revenue collector and
that when Mr.. Catron was asked TO
"withdraw'' them and send them back,
Mr.. Staab discovered that they HAD
never been filed.
The insurance men are still chewing
the rag over that $4,000 deposit law.
Every adjuster and general agent that

tender who deid suddenly, the other
night, after a proiracied spree Of over
indulgence in liquor, may have been
poisoned by a young drug clerk who
had been licensed by the Territorial
board Of pharmacy. The deceased's
relatives have been located in Pennsyl-
vania and there is talk Of an investiga-
'tion. The drug clerk has left town.
A miner named Alexander has struck
a fine vein Of free-gold quartz, 1000

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland, of this village, states
that for twenty-five years his wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few
nights ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent MIR. Rowland
for the doctor, but he had read CT Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and instead Of gong
for the physician, be went to the store and
secured a bottle Of it. His wife did not APP
prove Of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first,
but nevertheless applied the Balm thor
0ughly and in an hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it whenever
she feels an ache or a pain and finds that
1t always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did her
as much good. The 25 and so cent sizes for
