There is peculiar state of affairs
existing in New Mexico. The republi-
can politicians pursued the same tao
tics in the late election by raising the
race issue and appealing to the preju-
dice of the ignorant Mexicans, the car
pet-baggers did in the south during the
days of reconstruction. The result is,
that the conservative, law-abiding and
intelligent classes, irrespective of par
ty, will oppose the admission of that
territory to statehood. It is proba BILE
that these politicians have ruined the
broth by showing their hands too early
in the game.

Day of Wrath.

Die, thou Ishmael of nations, false and foul
from foot to crownl
On the crimson tide of slaughter floats thy ship
OF conquest down!
In thy red AID yellow standard IS the truth III
color told,
For never spaniard faltered where the prize
was blood or gold
See the pale and spectral leglons, marshaled
ghostly to the view.
Haunt the Aztecs silvered valleys, guard the
gateways OF Peru.
Shades they come, in phantoms muster, on
Cholula's silent square;
Throng the halls of Caxamalca with fixed and
stony stare.
Wonder stalks the Montezum, fadeless spots
upon his robe
And the proud and martyred Inca, through his
golden-domed abode.
Ripened grain before thy sickle fell the HARM
less Caribs down,
And they file before thee nightly Ill all army
worn and brown.
Swept from earth as with besom--wails OF
anguish freight the air,
As thy dogs of carnage rend them III their Isles
so green and fair.
Carnivais of blood and plumber, mad, debauch
of sword and fame,
Lust and goddess desecratiou-in the gentle
Savior'S namel
Mercy's holy cross uplifted, as thy demon le-
gions smote, 49,
Mercy's mild evanGel thunder from the cannon
deadly throat.
All thy skies. o SPAIN are Redeemed with the
Autos hell-born glare,
While the torture chorus rises from thy dUh-
geons of despair.
Dripping shambles were the affairs where Goa
of Love was preached:
Fens of death the fields of Europe where the
bones of martyrs bleaChed.
Courtly Egmont rising headless from the crime
stained Brussels block,
Gallant Horn, erect and guiltless, facing murder
like rock.
Toin the hosts by Alva slaughtered with tins
verdict in their groan-
Right forever on thy scalfold Wrong forever
on thy throne.'4l
Die, thou Ishmael of nations; granite heart and
soul of STEEL
When didst thou, for human sorrow, once the
dint of pity feela
When did e'er the cup of kindness i'll thy
mailed hand appear?
When did Justice find refuge i'll thy Forum
grim and drear?
Death the one untalliug sentence which thy
savage councils gave;
Bones and ruin line thy pathway from the era
die to the grave.
God of Vengeance Thou art coming i'll the
whirlwind and the storm;
Thou art marching with the armies on the Cut
ban hills that form;
And the hand that sunk Armdaa comes to
ransom the oppressed,
Where, i'll lilied robes OF Mercy, Christ has risen
in the west.
Peace on earth by sword and battle let the
trodden isles rejoice!
For the thunder boom of squadrons, Lord Of
Judgment is thy voice.

BALL BEARING RIBS
Had This Monster of an Age
Long Dead.
Enormous Skeleton UnearthPd IL
wisconsin BY the Recent Heavy
Rains.

Kenmore, July 25.-The heavy
rains of the last few days have
brought to light the remains of a
curious animal at Anderson Mills,
twelve miles northeast of this city.
On Thursday a son of John w.
Anderson accidentally discovered
the point of a huge tusk protruding
from the ground. and at once set to
work to take it out. He discovered
that he had found complete skel-
eton of some strange animal, now
extinct. 1t is difficult to form a
clear idea of it from the parts now
exhumed, but the skeleton is evil
IDENTITY that of a mastodon. The
tusks are 9 feet q inches in length
and measure 27 inches in circum-
ference at the base. The ribs meas
ure 81 feet in length and are con-
nected to the vertebrae by a ball
and socket joint. The teeth are
bright as agate and are partly pet
ri6ed. The largest of the teeth ex-
humed weighs four pounds. One
of the vertebrae, very fine speci-
men, has also been secured. 1t is
irregular in shape and measures 10
inches in diameter, the opening for
the spinal cord measuring 4 inches
across.
From the teeth and bones now
secured it appears to be the skele-
ton of some form of the carnivora.
The entire skeleton IS being ex-
humed, and it will make a very
fine specimen for the State mu
Standardization Gazette.

Big Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since a Danville, Ill.
jury ordered the male defendant in
a breach of promise case TO pay
the competent sum of S54,333.33 to
the afflicted fair one. Though it
is pretty high estimate of blighted
affection, there is another estimate
which, if not in dollars and cents
exactly as high, yet in general con-
sideration of excellence reaches as
lofty an altitude. This IS the es-
innate of the people as to the eff
cacy of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
as remedy for constipation. The
action of this gentle but effective
laxative is never accompanied by
the gripping so marked in the oper-
alton OF most cathartics. 1t IS an
incompatible remedy for and pre-
ventive of malarial, rheumatic and
kidney complaints, and promoter
of appetite and sleep.

Transplanting Muscles.

The wonders of surgery will, it seems,
never cease. Among the most important
achievements is the transplanting Of
muscles. This has been successfully
lone in the case of a patient who had
FOR half a lifetime been unable to use
one leg on account of paralysis occur
ring in early childhood. The operation
Is thus described: GA six inch longi-
sudinal incision is made on the inner
,ide of the thigh, with the middle OPP
posite the top of the patella. The sarto-
RUS is dissected out, cut off at its in
sertion, brought forward and attached
to the muscular fascia just above and
little to the inner side Of the patella.
"The attachment must be made firmly
by splitting the fascia and drawing the
muscle through, so that it becomes adj
herent to both inner and outer surfaces
Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures,
being the best material The wound is
then closed, and the whole thigh Is
bandaged, and finally a plaster of paris
bandage, or a long splint, is applied.
The patient is kept recumbent for two
weeks at least, gentle motion is COM
menced at the end of three weeks, and
the plaster is entirely omitted at the
end of from five to six weeks This op-
Grafton has been performed several times
with great success, the only failures &C.

fectly attached. This state Of things
was entirely remedied, however, in the

Henry Lewis Dead.

The death of Henry Lewis yes
terday, at New York, removes one
OF the most prominent men among
those who have been continuously
connected with the oil industry
almost from its inception. Mr..
Lewis was among the first to make
a business of buying oil from the
producers and selling it to the re-
fners, He was quick to see the
advantages offered by the pipe line
over other methods of transporting
oil, and very early established agen-
cies for buying oil in various parts
of the region. He was a brother
of George Lewis, of this city, and
fo- many years devoted himself to
the purchasing branch of the pipe
line system. He came to the oil
country to purchase oil for Cleve
land refinery, in which he was
largely interested, and has doubt
less bought and handled more oil
than any other individual or firm in
the business. He was we'll known
among the pioneers of the petro-
leum industry, and has been head
of the purchasing department of the
Standard Oil company since its or
ganization. oil City Derrick.

The Flesher we'll drilled on the

Thursday evening a peculiar
mishap befell Sam Cusick. 1t
strikes us as being one Of the most
singular occurrences that has ever
come under our observation. Mr..
Cusick is drilling a test we'll just

turned to work, the sun having
come out brightly. Almost with
out warning a miniature cyclone
came down upon the derrick, liter.
ally tearing it to pieces, the men
narrowly escaping the flying debris.
Mr.. Cusick says when the gust
struck the derrick he rushed out
and before he was more than 20
feet away the rig was torn to kind

WHAT TO Do.

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulhlls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi.
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sam.
pie bottle and pamphlet sent free
by mail, upon RECEIPT of three two.
cent stamps to cover cost of postage
on the bottle. Mention Sisrersville
Weekly Oil Review and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing,
hampton, N. Y. The proprietor O.
this paper guarantees the genine
ness of this offer.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
