Clue to the Culprit.

The large barn containing 200 tons oil

harness, wagons, and five valuable horses
the property Of Hon. j. W. Haines oi
Genoa, were destroyed by fire last Fri
day night, and the fine residence but a
few hundred feet away was with Difficult
ty saved by the willing workers, who
came to late to save the barn. There is
but little doubt that the fire was of in
cendiary Origin, but who could have been
fiendish enough TO have committed such
an act. is a matter for wide speculation.
The fire was discovered a few minutes
after eight o'clock, when the north east
end OF the barn was already mass of
flames. The fire was first discovered by
a near neighbor, and it was some time
before help arrived to control the fire
aud save the family residence, as the
wind was blowing at the time.
The insurance on the property de
stroyed was but Sl200 in the Phenix CO.,
while the total loss is estimated at Sc, 300

was almost prostrated by the shock, and
does not concur in the general belief that
the fire was purposely started. Arrange
ments are being made To rebuild at once.

ment aid down by jefferson and Lincoln:
That the highest duty of government is to so
regulate its laws that the spirit of equality
shall follow men through life, giving each amp

measure his possibilities, unrestricted b. .aw,
and unaffected by the conquest of his ,n-in-

as expressing the demands OF the American
people in consonance with the foregoing, the
platform of the National Silver party fosnu

adopted at Chicago. July !, 1903.
The history OF the movement for the resto' n

administration. The tax payers are up
in arms over the canal improvement
fraud, and when they come to vote they
are going to take sure way of manifest

regime"
Mr.. Mckinley is said to be very much
disgristed at the position taken by Teddy
Roosevelt, that his election to be gov

dorsement OF the administration and the

he should take some way of letting it be

of former years, by sending poor fruit

sion:
The work is practically complete.
We reached a satisfactory agreement
upon all points except one. The com
mission was carefully instructed by
the government to obtain a complete
inventory of every piece of crown prop
erty upon which just claims could be
laid. When we asked the Spanish rep
resentatives for an inventory we were
told that it had been sent to the peace
congress at Paris. We demanded
copy, but never received it."
In what way did they attempt to
hide the crown property" was asked.
Many buildings have been secretly
transferred to private individuals and
corporations, especially religious cor
porations. This underhs ad work be-
gan some time ago, but most of it has
been done since the surrender of San
tiago. Such sales are not valid in law

Wools are being held there for higher

In the line of agriculture, the county

City Marshal Gallegos Assaulted.

Marcus Costello last night assaulted
City Marshal Epitacio Gallegos with
pick handle while the latter was stand
ing in front of the Bon Ton restaurant
The blow was delivered across the
bridge of the marshal's nose, breaking
that member and rendering Gallegos
unconscious. John Conway and Dr.
Knapp carried the wounded man to
Kerrs barber shop, where the doctor
washed away the blood and attended
to the injury. The blow was vicious
one, but the marshal will recover from
the effects of it in a few weeks. Cos
tillo gave himself up and was placed
under $10O bonds to appear for prelimi-
nary hearing next Tuesday. The de-
fendant will doubtless be bound over to
the grand jury.
City Marshal Gallegos can assign nc
cause for the attack and states that he
has never before had any trouble with
his assailant.

Hobson sailed for the Philippines today
on the steamer Gaelic. He will report
to Admiral Dewey upon his arrival and
will undertake the work of raising the
vessels which suffered SO severely from
the attack of Admiral Dewey's squad

the dock to witness his departure. Hob
sons carriage had great difficulty IN
getting through the throngs of people,
who simply would not let him pass in
quiet. Cheers upon cheers were given
him and he was compelled at several
points to say few words. A public re-
ception was held at Golden Gate park
in the morning and Lieutenant Hobson
addressed the people from the pedestal

town for the purpose of noting its
growth and deciding on further plan
of action.
The system of water works which the
company has in process of construction
will be finished as soon as possible and
on q much larger Scala than originally
contemplated. The real estate holdings
of the concern aggregate 5000 acres of
plated grounds adjoining the town of
Deming, and this will be irrigated, and
the municipality given more thorough
water supply.
The reservoir which supplies the
water for the town at present has a ca
pacity of $4,000, 900 gallons. The inten-
ton now is to build additional reservoirs
and increase the supply fully five times.
The capacity Of the artesian well will
be increased proportionately Thirteen
acres of ground are occupied by each
reservoir They have 95 feet depth and
four feet of foot tubing are placed 50
feet below the surface. The pump now
in use has a capacity of 100000 gal
Ions and a new one will be added,
which will throw 3,500,00 gallons The
entire water supply will be pumped in
to the old reservoir because of its ele-
vation, and piped to the two new ones.

ness men that they will consume the
