TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and it's
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
chine on the market.

BOOKS OF ORIGINAL ENTRY.
Territorial Supreme Court Holds They Can
Not Be Used in Evidence Unless Statu-
tory Provisions Are First Com
piled With,

In case No. 793, William H. Byerts,
plaintiff in error, VS.. Nancy j. Robin
son, administrators, etc, defendant in
error, error to the district court of So
corro county, Chief Justice Mills hand
ed down an opinion which was con-
court, reversing the judgment of the
lower tribunal and remandlng the
cause for a new trial.
This case grew out of an action
brought in the district court of Socorro
county by the defendant in error to re-
cover a certain sum of money alleged
to be due on d promissary note given
by the plaintiff in error to the husband
of the defendant, and which the plain
tiff claimed had been paid in full In
the lower court certain papers and
books were offered in proof of payment
which, because Of the difference Of
dates, were excluded, and judgment rem
derd for the defendant in error. The
cause was taken to the Supreme Court
on a writ of error, and in rendering the
opinion the higher court held as fol-
lows:
Books of original entry cannot be
used as evidence unless the statutory
requirements regarding their admissi-
bility are first complied with.
The statutory provisions in this re-
gard amend the common law rule.
The memorandum of sale was ad-
missble in evidence to show that it in
clude the entire stock of the vender.
and the receipt given at the time of the
execution and delivery of the note is
proper evidence to prove on what ac-
count said note was given.
Defendant having offered in evidence
subsequent to and claimed to be on ac-
count Of the note given, no other debts
being proved, the burden of proof
therefore shifted to plaintiff to show
that said payments were on some other
account than the note aforesaid.

new MEXICO ROUGH RIDERS.
Colonel Roosevelt Warmly Praises Their
Daring in War Scenes
(WaShingtou Times


Miguel A: Otero, governor Of the
territory of New Mexico, in his report
for the year ending June 80, 1898, re-
ferred with pride to the fact that over
500 of RooScyelts Rough Riders who
participated in the Cuban campaign
We're from New Mexico. He includes in
his report a letter from Colonel
Roosevelt, sent from Santiago under
date of July %, which in part follows:
II write you a line just to tell you
how admirably the New Mexico troopers
in the battalion of the Rough Riders,
which | have commanded before San
tagO, have behaved. Three of the
eight troops with me We're from New
Mexico, being commanded by Captains
Muller, Luna and Llewellyn. All three
captains and all three troops distin-
guished themselves. AS for the troopers
themselves, | cannot say too much for
their daring and resolution in battle.
their patient endurance of every kind
of hardship and labor and their dis
cipline. ready obedience and order in
camp. these last qualities being as indis
pensable to soldiers as courage itself. !
am more than proud to be in the same
regiment with them. | can imagine no
greater honor than to have commanded
such men,"
Colonel Roosevelt speaks particularly
OF the bravery of Captains Muller.
Llewellyn and Luna.
The governor most earnestly rencws
his recommendation, made in his last
report, with reference to the early
admission of New Mexico as a state of
the union
