ny's room, softly turned the knob, and
noiselessly entered. There lay her guest
still plunged in deep slumber, but An
nette had disappeared, gone, probably,
to the kitchen for coffee. Far over at
the east, where the railway crossed the
barren mesa, a locomotive whistle broke
the silence of the desert with long, eX-
ultant blast. The blockade then was
broken. The first train was coming in
from Cimarron. Dressing with greater
haste than usual, she ordered breakfast
served, and then went out on the piazza
and looked up the row toward the Mer-
Rams. The doctor was just coming
out of the gate, and Whitaker, who had
spent the night there on watch-all
thought of rivalry forgotten-was
standing on the top step, apparently
OBTAINING the physician with some ques-
ton. Eager for news of Randy, Mrs.
Grafton threw her husbands cavalry
cape over her shoulders and tripped
brisllly up the gravel walk. 'Still sleep
ing" said the doctor, "and how is your
patient?"
"Also sleeping" said Mrs. Grafton.

soundly at such times" whereat the
doctor looked conscious but said moth

All that morning people strained their
eyes and rubbed their binoculars and
searched the distant foothills to the
northwest, hoping for the coming of
couriers with news; but not until after
noon were they rewarded. Then, COW
cred with sweat and dust, a corporal of
Grafton's troop rode in. DR.. Gould and
Mrs. Hayne were still at Jose's, though
they feared they could be of no use
there, fornot a sign of Florence had been
found. Grafton had sent couriers on to
the Catamount with the tidings of her
peril, and his men, in wide dispersed
order, were securing the foothills long
days marches away. Full half an hour
the ladies grouped at BuXton's, listen
ing to the soldiers description of their
search, and then were strolling home
ward when, over toward the west end of
the cavalry line, arose the sound of COM
motion and distress.
An instant later, as the doctor,
gIancing, turned to hasten thither, a
woman dressed in deepest black came
reeling forth from the Merriams' door
way and plunging wildly down the
steps. Everyone knew her at a glance
it was Fanny McLane, who stood there
now swaying at the gate as though
gasping for breath, while calling mar
ticulately for aid. It was but few sec
onds before the doctor reached her.

AguinaldO'S Message.

The Associated Press has received a
peace message from Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent chief, couched in the following terms
Manila, Philippine September 1S The
Filipino government desires to inform the
American government and people that the
many rumors regarding the strained rela-
tions between Filipino and American forces
are bas ed upon the malicious SANDERS of the
enemy TO both parties. They are without
any truth and circulated for the purposes OF
prejudicing the appeal OF the Fiipinos for
their release from the oppression and cru
city of Spain. The relations OF our people
and yours have been and will continue to
be of most friendly nature, and we have
withdrawn our forces from the suburbs of
Manila as additional evidence OF our conf
dence in the great American republic.
(Signed AGUINALDo
No one will V nture to deny the power
Of the press as long as foreign chiefs con.
tinue to send their messages Of peace to
the Associated Press instead of to the duly
elected administrators of the government

DEATH OF MRS PECK.
Martha Eleanor Peck died at her home in
Walpole SUNDAY afternoon, st the advan ced
age of 81 years, months, and II days. Mrs.
Peck was the daughter of Hon. Thomas Bel
lows, for many years sheriff of Cheshire
! C unity and affectionately remembered by the
older people of Walpole as esquire Tom,
and granddaughter of Col. Benjamin Bel
lows, the founder of the town.
With the exception of about II years Mrs
Peck passed her long life in Walpole. She
was educated at the famous school of Miss
Fisk in Keene In 1889 she married Philip
Peck, merchant of Walpole, and resided
with her husband in her pleasant Main street
home until his death in 1875, when she went
to live with her son, Thomas B. Peck, in
M"lrose, Mass, and remained there until
1857, when she and son returned to their
Walr ole house.
Mrs p, OK retained to wonderful degree
in her old age the attractiveness of her earlier
years, and her home became center " here
old friends gathered and strangers were ever
welcome. Her reteptive memory was stored
with traditions of the past and her recollec,
tions of the people she had known and OF
the events happening in her youth were
remark ably vivid and interesting. She pos
sessed serenity of disposition that enabled
her to bear with cheerful iortitude the MANY
sorrows and affections that must come in
SO long life, and she leaves to those who
were privileged to know her the strong and
helpful memory Of the typical New England
mother and housewife. A son, Thomas B.
Peck, survives her.

The Effect of Wind on Lakes.

Attention has been called to the very
remarkable effect of the wind on var
ious inland bodies of water. 1t is not
unusual for the residents In towns On
the shores of lakes to be greatly IN
convenienced, provided a heavy wind
blowing on shore continues for any
length of time. In the Baltic sea the
level has been altered for upward of
eight feet. Sometimes the water is
blown out of channel leaving ii al
most dry. In one instance depres-
sion of six feet occurred on one side of
a body Of waaer with corresponding
rise of six feet On the other Lake
Erie has been Known to alter its lev
ell distance OF fifteen feet on account
of heavy windA and Lake Michigan
was al one tame the subject of consid-
cradle interest from the same cause.
The wind was heavy and continuous
and piled the water up on one side,
while the other was so low that peo-
pie walked oot upon rocks where in

Joy an allowance of one hundred dol
lars a month, in addition to the other
perquisites allowed by the government.
The same will be given for the loss
of both eyes. The loss of both feet
will be worth seventy-two dollars a
month. One hand and one foot to-
gether will be worth thirty-six dollars,
the same as given for amputation at
or above one selbow knee One hand
or foot will be worth thirty dollars,
the same as given for total deafness.
Should a stray Spanish bullet happen
by chance to gouge out one eye seven

will be five dollars less. Total deaf

New Hampshire Republicans.

AT one of the largest state convention
ever held in New Hampshire, the repub-
licans of that state in session at Concord
last week nominated Hon Frank w. Rol-
Inns of Concord for governor on the follow
ing ballot:
Frank w. Rollins $50
Franklin Worcester 1873
Chester B Jordan 16

In the resolutions adopted the conven-
ton reaffirmed the St. Louis Platform, es-
pecially endorsing the gold standard there
in provided, and iavoring such a disposi-
tion OF the Philippines as would promote
the growing interests of the United States.
On state issues, the platform pledged the
party TO promote all movements that have
for their legitimate object the development
Of the state, the unfolding of its natural re-
sources, including the building of steam
and electric roads wherever the public
good will be subserved, the equalizing of
the school privileges OF the state for the
Der eft of the rural sections, economy in
state administration, an equitable readjust-
ment of the tax laws, and whatever tends
to advance the material interests of the
people ard the improvement of the social
condition of the home.
Ex-Gov. Busiel, who is opposed to the
controlling influence of the Boston &
M aine road in state affairs, made speech
in which he said "There is no question
but that the republican party in this state
has been dominated by great railroad
corporation. The free pass is powerful
agency. I speak by the book for it was
once my duty to give out these passes.
There are men who will become party tools
and run about from Coos to the sea on
questionable political errards for the bribe
of free pass. A pass will reach men whom
money cannot buy. This cursed agency
has corrupted our whole state"
He also offered set ofresolutions, which,
however, were defeated, favoring the en-
actment of law forbidding any railroad,
sleeping car, steamboat, steamship, express,
telegraph or telephone company to issue or
deliver to any public official or to any per-
son or persons, except employees in direct
service, any pass, frank or privilege OF free
transportation of himself or property, or for
free transmission of messages over tele
phone or telegraph lines and making the
giving or receiving of any such pass, frank
or privilege penal offense, both as to the
giver and receiver.
