Cnhs- w. Beach,
l. NJ Markham,
So many tickets were sold to La
mart for Holly on Saturday after
noon that Santa Fe train No. had
TO carry a special coach for their ac-
commodation. Other points swelled
the crowd SO that sixty five people
aligbted from the train at Holly.
Greeted by the hosts and the Holly
brass band, the crowd was escorted
10 the hospitable white house"
where extensive porches and shaded
lawns make it an ideal place for such
an occasion
The first part Of the program was
a drive to Coolidge and lunch at the
Fred Harvey eating house at that
place. The ease with which the crowd
was provided with vehicles for drive
revealed how thorough the prepara-
tions had been for the entertainment
OF the guests The pleasant after
noon seemed specially provided for
the occasion. After a delightful
drive, sight seeing and an elegant
lunch at Coolidge the party re-
turned to Holly about sundown.
At this time the Holly people began
to join the visitors at the "white
house" grounds to participate in the
evenings enjoyment
The grounds were splendidly
lighted up and well provided with
seats and hammocks. The white
house" itself was wide OPEN to all.
Elegant music from La Junta was
provided for the dancing and a more
enjoyable evening could not be imag-
ined. Age as well as beauty enjoyed
itself to the utmost Nothing that
could add to the enjoyment of such
an occasion was lacking, and no one
seemed neglected. The hospitality
and courtesy of the hosts will be long
remembered by their appreciative
visitors. The pleasures of the even
ing were prolonged until the ap-
proach Of train No. 5 compelled a
regretful leave taking.
The following is list of those
who were in attendance from Lamar:

McNall's Gall,

NUR insurance Commissioner
1 Mr.. McNall seems to be
~ making many grand stage
plays and striving with all his might
to gain nootriety by any and all
means within his power. He is
simply working under a republican
law introduced by a republican
Legislature and signed by a republi
can governor. If he would drive out
the insolvent companies as republi-
can commissioners did, and let the
responsible companies DO business
in peace, so long as they comply
with the law without continually
bushwhacking them with his blood
sucking road agents there would be
no kick coming. But it would
not be Webb McNall unless he were
gaining a little cheap notoriety by
doing some ridiculous thing.
Webb is bleeding these compan-
les in great shape by his forcical
Investigations. 1t does not show on
the surface what per cent he gets
out of them, but if all the fees go
to the special. it beats Klondike all
to pieces.

Legislative Investigation.

We give below the first part of
the evidence of Horace Keifer, a
member of the House from Leven-
worth-co given before the Populist
Legislative Investigating committee.
From it you will see a little of what
our good populists think of one an
other, We would not like to &C
cuse this great party of purity and
reform, or any of its members in
high position of accepting brides
or allowing any undue influence to
affect their votes in any manner but
as we have full report of the testi-
mony or the various pop members
examined under oath by this com
mittee, we will from time to time
give little of their testimony, and
if they talk naughty about one an
other don't know that we are in
any way to blame for it.

Ter to have amended this act thar
to have passed an original bill at q
special session, as Leedy suggested,
During the legislature we urged Gov
ernor Leedy to tell us wheather
there was anything Objectionable to
him in this original bill, but he de-
clined to do so, or to give the legis-
lature any hint of the kind of bill
he desired passed, although he was
frequently importuned so to do. He
simply, without giving any warning
or reason at that time vetoed bill
which has been before two former
legislatures and which had been
solidly voted for by the Populist
minority in each o those two legis.-
latures and which he himself had
voted for on former accession,
while acting as Senator from this
district. He, pretending to be a
Popuhst governor, ignored the com
mands of the convention, which
nominated him, and vetoed the only
Populist railroad bill ever passed
by the Kansas legislature, Now,
l am not going to say that Leedy
sold out to the railroad corporal
ions, but I'd like to have some
smart Alec explained to me how
man can better serve the railroad
corporations than has Leedy during
his term of Office"
Continuing Mr.. Sheldon said
"The Populist platform of 1896
d enandcd law reducing the rate
of interest. In accordance with
that demand l introduced a BILL
providing for reduction of inter
est from 10 to 8 per cent and pro-
viding heavy penalties for any VOL
alton of the law. Now l know of |
no time or no place wherein Mr.. |
Leedy ever expressed any sympathy |
or desire to have such a law passed.
He made no such recommendation
in his message, nor do l believe he
had any wish or desire to see such
a law enacted. We talk of the saw
ings to the people of the textbook
law, the stockyard law, the fee and
salary law-and they are good laws
but had my bill become law it
would have resulted in a saving to
the people of this state of more than
$500. 900 annually. More than dou
BILE the benefit claimed for either
of the other laws. Any scho oil boy
can figure it out. Loans and dis
counts in this state at this date are
$40 900. 900. Two per cent differ
ence between 10 and per cent
amounts to $500. 900 annually. Not
even railroad legislation could have
been more far reaching in its eff
ects upon the masses that the pass
age of this law.
"Mr Leedy's whole course has
been that of a cheap man. He
made himself ridiculous by his
denunciation of courts.
'1n all ages of the world and
among all peoples the courts of
country have as a rule merited the
highest praise. In general they
have been composed of men of
great scholastic attainment men
learned in the law--men whose hon
or integrity have seldom been call
ed in question. What intelligent
Populist does not blush for shame
as he reads the startling announce
ments that John w. Leedy, Popul-
ist governor of Kansas, declares to
all the world that the courts of this
country are rotten. Surely the peo-
pie of Kansas will not again elect as
It's chief magistrate man who judi
yed by his own words has lost all

-ule of such a creature may God in
mercy deliver US.

How the Oliver Lee Case is Being
Looked At.
(El Paso Times.)


New Mexico should be a perfect para
disc for the yellow journalists of New
York. In New Mexico outlaws and
murderers, upon whose heads a price
has been set, are fond of being inter-
viewed.
As the Phoenix Gazette says, 1.-The
many readers of New Mexico papers are
treated with the peculiar spectacle of a
murderer pleading his W case in
print. Oliver Lee and one Gililand We're
wanted for the murder of Colonel Foun-
tain and son. Sheriff Pat Garrett and
posse attempted to arrest them and in
the fight the desperadoes killed II Ill.
X. Kcarney and escaped. Later they
sent to the press a graphic letter descrip-
tive of the fight"
In the states an outlaw, lodging the
officers of the law, would not think of
writing letters to the press to excuse
his crime. In Texas, if the where
abouts of an escaped murderer was
known. he would be arrested even if it
was necessary to send every militiaman
in the state on his trail. But in New
Mexico, Oliver Lee, after killing al Of
ticcr of the law, armed with a warrant
for his arrest, retires to his ranch and
sends the papers a graphic description
of the fight he made and tells why he
will not be arrested by this or that Of
ticer.
And still some people wonder why
New Mexico is not admitted to state
hood. 1t would be better for Uncle
Sam to place that territory under mar
tial law until its criminal element can
learn that crime can not override the
law. Let Governor Otero lend Sheriff
Garrett some aid and send enough men
after Lee to capture him in short order.

HILLSB0R0 GOLD MINES.
Significant Notes Regarding Productive
Development Work in One Of New Mex
ico's Great Gold CAMPS,

The Hillsboro Advocate is entitled to
credit and praise for the s%ubjoined
readable and instructive budgetof mining
notes:
The big strike of $40 per ton ore at the
Trip has widened out to four feet, and,
by reference to our table of productions,
the output has increased to 40 tons per
week.
Fifty tons of ore from the new strike
on the Mastodon mine is being hauled
to ColIard's mill this week. According
to assays it should yield $45 per ton.
Wheeler, Larson and Wayland, leasers
on the X. X, are working in an extern
sive body of $3.50 ore this week, and
will soon make a shipment of 60 tons to
the Ell Paso smelter.
The Snake and Opportunity mines
now employ IS leasers, all of whom are
making over "a. SO per day.
Barney Martin made a shipment of
40 tons of ore to the smelter, OF Monday.
R. C. Troeger has been offered 80 per
cent royalty for leases IN the Bonanza
and is earnestly considering the matter.
The Freiburg mine folk will shortly
make a shipment of 80 tons of ore to
Silver City.
The Mesa del Orc company will put in
a Welfey table at the Charter Oak mill
at the Hillsboro placers, and do the
custom ore milling of that immediate
section.
Systematic development work at
Prof. Preisser's Iron Blossom mine, in
the Tanks district, is %uncovering some
magnificent ore bodies.
