At the coming city election, mono but
lirst-class men should be voted for as
members of the city board of education
The present board of education has
proved a failure and the city schools are
not in the condition they should be in.
Make a change for the better at the
coming elections, is the New MExICAN's
advice to the citizens and voters of this
city.
In another column Mr.. Chas. S. On

of 5000 cedar posts for fencing the Ca.

grants in this county, These posts may
be cut on the grants named. The atten'

a right to take a rest from the exacting
cares of business. He says that he will
certainly rest for a while. Dan Hanley

The New MExIcAN's exclusive an.
nouncement, last night, that Thomas A.
Edison, the famous wizard of invention,
had definitely decided to make Santa Fe
his headquarters in the early autumn,
created much comment in the city last
night. A number of very good people
have taken the needless trouble to call
around at the office for the purpose OF
confidentially inquiring if the report
was really so. OF course. Didn't you
read it in the New MEXICAN? Besides
the New MEXICAN told only about half
of the story. The details will make
mighty interesting reading and they
will first be disclosed as usual In these
veracious columns.

FAMOUS BENTON GOLD MINE.
Manager Force Feels More Than Ever
Elated Over His Venture in South
Santa Fe County.

Mr.. L. Nj. Force, who is actively en-
gagged in the development of the Benton
gold mine in south Santa Fe ounty by
virtue of the bond and lease he holds on
the valuable property, came up from
Dolores yesterday on a business errand
and was found at the Palace hotel by
one of the New MExIcAN's ubiquitous
scribes.
He cheerfully remarked that his out
look continued to be distinctly yellow
and that the pleasantly golden tints
thereof seemed to deepen as greater
depth was attained in the main shaft
of the Benton and more exploration
work was done in the various drifts of
the mine named. He is now working
night and day shifts in sinking the shaft
and has as many men employed drifting,
stopping and sorting ore for the smelters
as can be worked to advantage.
The shaft Is now down nearly 300 feet
and the rich streak of from $75 to 500
ore at the bottom seems to be widening
"AoA SNCAy oAAOo, IN AC Is dlSU ulluluS
so much good ore in the drifts that he
expects soon to be able to ship at least
three carloads of ore either to the smell
ter at Cerrilos or Pueblo.
He anticipates encountering water in
the shaft before much more depth is
gained and has accordingly made ar
engagements to have an adequate steam
pump on the ground in a few days that
the work may proceed without Interrupt
ton.
In this connection he added that he
had recently secured a satisfactory
working bond on the Live Oak mine,
the western extension of the Benton,
and entertained no doubt that the
development of the two properties would
soon amply Justify the putting on Of the
necessary machinery to treat the output
on the ground.
''Indeed," he said, IL now have offers
from responsible people, who have care
fully examined the mine and made ex-
haustive tests of the ore, to put on
whatever concentrating machinery is
needed to handle the entire output. As
only part of the ore is free milling and
all OF it is especially adapted to profit

Editor wynkoop Captured by Cupid

Mr.. Frank M. Wynkoop, the industri'
Gus and enterprising editor of the Bland
Herald, recently went to Albuquerque,
ostensibly to solicit business for his ex'
cellent paper. 1t appears, however,
that. something much more important
and romantic than hustling advertise.
ments and subscriptions called the
young man to the Ducal City. He quiet
iy slipped over to the home of Mrs. L.
L. Mehan, on South First street, in
company with Rev. f. J. Bennett, on
the afternoon of Washington's birthday,
and soon after the mystic words were
uttered s'with neatness and dispatch
that transformed the v%ivacious Miss
Leona Mehan into the matronly Mrs.
Francis M. Wynkoop. 1t was all SO
quietly and deity arranged that only
the most intimate friends of the happy
couple dreamed that such an interest
ing event was about to be placed to Gu
pid's credit. Mr.. Wynkoop is well
known to a large circle of friends in
Santa Fe, who cordially congratulate
| him upon his charming conquest and
| wish him and his all manner OF health,
happiness and prosperity. Immediately
| after the silken matrimonial mot was
securely tied, Mr.. and Mrs. Wynkoop
departed for their home in the busting
metropolis of the Golden Cochiti mining
district, and it is confidently anticipated
that h%enceforth the Bland Herald will
be brighter than ever before. The NEW
MEXICAN tenders fr%aternal good wishes.

SANTA FL CONCERNED.
Movement to Repair the Road Between This
City and Bland Should Receive Every
Possible Encouragement,

Andy Horn, of Pena Blanca, the vet
eran freighter and stage man, who is
now engaged in freighting between San
ia Fe and the Cochlti mining district,
was in the city today after flour, grain
and other supplies for the Bland mer-
chants.
He reports that the wagon road be-
tween Cienega and Cienega hill, about
IL or Is miles out from Santa Fe is in
bad condition and should be repaired
| without delay in order that this city
may secure its natural share of the i'm
mense traffic of the Cochiti district. He
| adds that every available team in and
about the district is constantly employed
freighting in and out of Bland, that w.
L. Trimble expects five carloads of
draught mules at Thornton from Kan
sas City this week, that the supply of
feed is already running short, that tons
of hay, grain and other supplies will
henceforward be needed every month in
the district, and that the people over
there look to Santa Fe for these supplies,
as it is well known that they can be
readily shipped in here from the prolific
San Luis valley. But he says that much
of this valuable trade will be lost to
Santa Fe unless the road is promptly re-
paired as above indicated.
In view of these representations, some
of the enterprising people of the Cap
| ital city have already undertaken the
task of raising the necessary funds to
make the needed repairs in the road
without delay. A subscription paper
was drawn up this morning and the i'm
portant document is now being circulat-
ed among the business men of the city.
Mr.. H. s. Kaune, who has been Sc
lected as treasurer of the road fund, in
forms the New MEXICAN that liberal re-
sponses have already been made to the
appeals for subscriptions to promote
| this meritorious cause and he has no
doubt that the required amount OF
money will be raised before night. The
New MEXICAN certainly hopes so.

From the Physicians Standpoint.

Where the stomach is weak it is al
ways advisable to prescribe Malt-Nu-
trine. There is often danger in using
pepsin or other preparations, of which
even the smallest dose may have a
harmful effect upon a comparatively
strong stomach. Medical authorities
agree regarding the intense nourishing
power Of Malt-Nutrine and its great
assistance to digestion. 1t is particu-
larry adapted to strengthening conyal.
escents, weak children and those suffer
ing from lack of blood, stomach diseases,
etc. Malt-Nutrine is prepared by the
famous Anheuser-Busch Brewing Assn,
which fact guarantees the purity, ex-
cellence and merit claimed for it.

A Serious Reaction.

An Ell Paso dispatch of yesterday says:
John Reckhart, a son-in-law of Captain
Jack Crawford, while cleaning a glass
jar with a mixture of sulphuric, hydro
chloric and nitric acids, dropped some
of the mixture into a water basin, which
caused a chemical reaction and filled the
room with a poisonous gas. Reckhart
inhaled considerable of the fumes, which
caused pulmonary Inflammation. His con-
dition was critical for some time, but II
Is now believed that he will recover.

COY. W0Lc0TT,S ADDRESS.

Gov. Wolcott is a studious and OBJ
servant official, and his second inaugu-
raj address, as might have been expect
ed, is no perfunctory speech, reciting
the statistics Of state government, nor
yet does it deal with political abstrac-
tions but with live topics of immediate
concern to the people Of the common
wealth. His plea for less of the super
fluous legislation that Is turned out ev-
cry year as readily as copper cents from
the mint, is scarcely less to be COM
mended than his emphatic warning
against needless expenditures. His rec
ommendation for the separation of the
insane wards from charitable institu-
tons and the establishment Of a special
department to care for juveniles is
something that was expected of him.
This is one of his pet schemes.
Notable is his approval of the action
Of the railroad commissioners in the
matter of the West End Street Railway
lease. Turning to the insurance com
missioner's Office, the governor asks in
effect, what is the use of supervision
that does not supervise? His remark,
that the state has suffered in reputation
by the failure of two assessment com
panies in a year, is but statement of
fact, and the governor makes the legis-
lature share the responsibility.
His quasi-committal to the employ
ment Of prison labor upon public works
is, perhaps, rather unexpected. He be-
lieves it has been demonstrated that a
Cape Cod canal cannot be profitably
built by private means, and recognizing
the commercial advantages Of the wa
terway, he suggests that the employ
ment Of prison labor on the work be at
least considered. That would relieve en-
barrassment at Charlestown. We are
unable to see why labor agitators should
methods of employing prison labor, but
that, Of course, does not invalidate any
argument in favor of the experiment.
His advocacy of state control of all pris-
ons is a step in the right direction.
The governor gives his assent to the
improvement of Boston harbor at the
expense of the state, and tells of the
good progress already made. AS to tax
alton, the governor pleads for spirit
of fairness and unselfshness in discus
sion that the legislators would do well
to adopt. Returning once more to the
matter of economy, it deserves to be
mentioned that the state debt has been
nearly tripled in three years Jan. /,
1895. the debt was only s4,377 ,e63 Jan. /,
1898, the amount was s12, 462,S7S. No
comment is necessary.

About 40 ladies connected with the
Woman's Guild of st. Johns Episcopal
Church gathered Thursday afternoon
at the rectory, on Windsor street, to lis
ten to an address before the work Of the
Women's Auxiliary by Mrs. n. N. Bige,
low of Clinton, who is vice president of
the Women's Auxiliary for Worcester
county. Rev, Eliot White opened the
meeting with several collects.
1t was voted to cooperate with the
auxiliary as a branch, but not to orr
ganize separately as a branch, for the
present, Miss Amelia White, secretary
Of the guild, will act as secretary and,
perhaps, treasurer The purpose Of the
auxiliary is to carry on home and for
eign missionary work.
After the business, afternoon tea was
served by Mrs. Herbert Smith, Mrs.
Hannah Taft, Miss Jennie Mcclellan
and Miss Mabel Moore.
The Womans Club class in parlta-
mentary procedure opened Thursday af-
ternoon with Mrs. Clara S. Lowell as

be made in the time of meeting, but this
and other allied matters will be post
poned for arrangement until the club
meeting Wednesday.

ton with the Woman's Club will meet

Except for some further intervention
Massachusetts will today witness the ex-
ecution of two notorious niurderers. 1t
is just a year lacking a day since Mrs.
McCloud was slain at Shelburne Falls,
Jan. 8, 1897 and retnbution may be said
to have speedily overtaken her assail-
ant O'Neil was arrested January y,
four days after the murder, he was held
for the grand jury February 6, indicted
March A. and his trial begun July 49,
Nine days later, July 2S, he was found
guilty. The exceptions filed September
10 were overruled November II, and on
November 20 the convict was sentenced
to death. December 80, the governor re-
fused the petition for pardon. and this
week Wednesday he refused to interfere
upon the presentation Of medico-legal
testimony in behalf of the prisoner. One
year lacking a day covers the history
of the case. The murder for which Dur
rant suffers at San Francisco was com
mitted in April, 1895. He was arrested
on the 18th of the month, his trial be-
gun July 6, and continued till November
4. Since then, the case has passed
through the state courts to the United
States supreme court, and day for ex-
ecution has been four times named.
There have been few cases in which the
courts have been more successfully used
for obstructive tha couress NJ i,,s+;oo r.
is now three years, lacking little more
than three months, since the murder
was committed.
