Some word iron them should come almost any day.
 Information from the Chihuahu; line conveys the intelligence that ; small land grabbing scheme is going on over there which the state govern ment of Sonora will no doubt take 1T hand and prevent. The Diamond A outfit, which owns a great ranch il the Las Animas valley in New Mex ico, have bought large tract of lanc in Chihuahua from the Mexican gov. ernment, its western limit being de fined as the boundary line between Chihuahua and Sonora. Engineers have been in the field for the com pany making survey of the tract Their survey has hoated the line be tween the two states, from the wate shed of the Sierra Madres, as defined by law, to line along the thalweg O the San Bernardino valley, thirty-sis miles west, on which they have erect ed monuments on one side of whicl reads Chihuahua, and on the other side Sonora with the Diamond A" brand on the Chihua hua side. The dividing monument between the two states, on the inter national line, is in the San Lnis pass, thirty six miles east. The region oveI there is described as a 'hunters paradise" abounding in deer, wilC turkeys, wild boars, hares, quails, anC all kinds of game.

THE Spanlards came 10 time Mon
day, and agreed to the proposition
made by the American members OF
the peace commission. Last week the
Americans made the Span!ards a prop
ositlon to the effect that Spain should
rellnquish Cuba, cede to the United
States Porto Rico, Guam, and the
Philippine islands, and that the
United States should pay Spain
twenty millions Of dollars. This was
practically an ultimatLm. The Span
iards were given 10 understand that II
they did not accept this offer that the
United States would retain the Islands
asked for and keep Spain out OF Cuba,
and likewise keep the twenty millions
offered. Spain came down of the
high horse with as much grace as pos
sible, and said that owing to the fact
that the country was Ia such q shape
that IL could not fight, the terms
would have TO be accepted, that Spain
would yield to a superior force. The
Paris papers do not seem TO like the
demands made by the United States
on Spain. The leading article In the
Temps, a column long, is devoted 10
a severe arraignment OF the American
attitude toward Spain, 10 which
America Is made To appear as a
merciless conqueror, imposing DRAGON
ian conditions on a helpless foe and
'~exacting the signature OF a treaty at
the point OF the bayonet. The span
ish commissioners should, 10 submit
ting, protest 70 the civilized world
against the spolitation OF the weak by
the strong" The Tempo seems L
have forgotten that Spain acquired
her possession OF these Islands In thi'
very same manner, "the spoilation o
the weak by the strong.p II justic'
has come TO Spain 1t is ouly ate

THERE are three papers published
in Las Cruces, two OF which are named
the Republican" the third the Dem
ocrat." The editors of these papers
do not dwell together in brotherly
love. Recently the editor OF n of
the Republicans printed an article
telling how he had mopped up the
street with the editor of the other
Republican. Then the editor OF the
other Republican printed an article
telling how be had mauled the editor
OF the first mentioned Republican.
Then the editor Of the Democrat

The WllIcOx News reports that u
Mexican named Juan Oguas was shot
at Bowie. IL seems that the railroad
company had a warning that the train
would be held up at Railroad Pass
that night, and preparations were
made to receive the robbers. At
Bowie one Of the guards mounted the
engine. When the train started to
pull out two men attempted 70 get on
the front end OF the mail car on one
side, and one on the other side Ut the
train. They were warned to keep
away, but paid no attention TO the
warning and the guard cut loose az
them with buckshot. One was seen
to fall, but the train did not stop TO
make any investigation. The train
passed two fires built near the track
at a place where there are no roads nor
ranches, which looked as though
preparations might have been made
for a hold up. The next passing
freight train picked up the wounded
man and brought him to Wilcox. The
doctor found his wounds were not
necessarily dangerous, but that he had
trouble with his heart. The man
died OF heart failure which failure was
probably increased by the buckshot in
his legs. He made no statement ex
cept that he lived at Cotton, Cdllfor
MIA. II these mon wore tramps anC

Reflectins of a Bachelor.

A man is never beaten until he admits it; a woman isn't beaten even then.
 Beware of a man who crirges be- fore men, and bullies women and children.
 Some persons are more ashamed of doing stupid thing than a ma- hcious one.
 A married man likes to have a dog around, because it always looks as if it were sorry for him.
 When some women get to heaven they will pick out extra big wings so they can fly away from the men angels.
 The unsuccessful man planes circumstances; the successful one makes 8 stepping-stone of each obstacle.
 When 8 man takes his sister out he always acts as though he wanted every body to know she wasn't his best girl.
 Some women dress as elaberately as if they wished to prove that their clothes are the most important part Of themselves. 1 A young lady's politeness may be tested by the manner Tn which she treats elderly women who have no desirable masculine relatives.
 Many unhappy marriages are produced by the fact that the women marry in order to prove that they have the opportunity to do so.
 It is beautiful and poetical to refer to caterpillar as an "un- finished butterfly" but it is mean and cynical to call g butterfly an oyerdone caterpillar.
 The reason why good accom- panists are rare IS because those who have the necessary ability are usually more anxious to call at tention to themselves than to  simply furnish background for the soloiat.

FROM the remotest times women have loved to adorn their fingers with rings, and some of the mum mics found in the Egyptian pyra- mids had their fingers literally cov- cred with them. Sometimes these rigns were of gold, but at others they were of glass, pottery or brass, according no doubt, to the wealth of the wearers. A ring is bestowed in marriage because it was anciently a seal by which orders were signed, and the delivery of the ring of it's power to act as his deputy. Thus 8 woman, having her husbands signet ring, had power to issue or ders as he himself would do.

rl5 said that dancing is not so much iu favor it used to be; that the people do not care to enjoy themselves afar this particular fashion. If tus is so it means a pastime that has endured since the beginning of things is doomed to extinction. Dancing can be traced as far back as 2545 B.

FEW men occupying the position
 of President Mckinley at this
 critical time would be able to with
 stand the temptation to do 6 little
 spread eagle posing by catering, in
 talk, at least, to the unmistakable fighting sentiment of the country.
 Whether he has been tempted to do so, cannot be said, but that he has not done so is known to all the world, and it reflects great credit upon him as man and as an of fcial, and has, beyond B doubt, increased the respect felt for the U. s. by all civilized nations. Not a line officially indicating what the verdict of the naval court ofinquiry will be has been received by either the President or Secretary Long, but that very fact has tended to convince the public that the in- vestigatlon has already shown the court that the explosion, which wrecked the Maine was not ac- cidental and it did not occur inside the vessel; whether it has convinced the President and Cabinet, their active preparations for war show better than anything said for publi- cation by any of them. These preparations are fer the purpose of putting the country in condition to hold Spain to a strict account ability, if the verdict of the court shall be that the Maine was blown up from the outside, as nearly every body now expects that 1t will be. Holding Spain responsible is likely to cause war, and although not one warlike word has been ut tered, either by the President or by any member of his cabinet, this country is quite well prepared for war.

IN New Jersey there are 17,52S more native born girls than boys,
 and about one-thirteenth of the voting population are bachelors "ot
 the confirmed kind" In view of
 this it is found necessary to state
 that the bill pending in the New Jersey Legislature to tax bachelors $2 g year is no joke, but a serious attempt to better the social condi- ton. It is a joke, however, to ima- zine that confirmed bachelor will not pay $2 to escaps matrimony, and since Prof. Schneck's theory is not in working order, it is difficult to see how the proposed measure is to increase the number of male children,
