A STRAIGHT DENIAL.
Judge Morrison Says That the Columbus
State Journal Interview Was Manufac-
tured by That Paper.

Hon. A, l.. Morrison, internal revenue
collector for this district, returned last
night over the Santa Fe road from his
eastern trip. A New Mexican reporter
called on the judge this morning rela-
tive to the 'interview' in the State
come from him, and which has created
such a sensation in local circles, as it
reflected on the native population of
this territory.
Judge Morrison declared that the lin
terview'' was sheer fabrication from be-
ginning to end. He never was visited
by a reporter from the Journal, never
/ was asked for any interview, oral or
| written, and did not know that such an
| article had been written until the next
| day, when his attention was called to
| the matter by Mr.. Bond, of the Column
! bus dispatch. The Columbus State
Journal has always been bitter against
New Mexico, and the article was no
doubt written to back up the policy OF

testations.
The election in Ohio passed off much
more quietly than one would have ex-
pected. The politicians had no money
| and an unusually small amount was
spent on the election. The judge was
| informed that New Mexico had gone
| Democratic, and did not know the
| truth until he had reached Ration on the
road home. Judge Morrison called on
| the president while in Washington to
pay his respects to the nations execu-

KIT CARSON'S COMMISSION.
Document That Made Him Second Lieu
tenant in 1847 Discovered in Las Vegas
and Now in This CITY.

A valuable historical document was
discovered a few days ago at Las Vegas
in the commission of Christopher Car
son as I'd lieutenant, by President Polk,
dated June 8, 1S47. 1t was found by
Travelling Engineer John A. Ross, of
the Santa Fe road, in an old desk
among some papers that had belonged
to the G. A. R., but how it got there and
how long it has been hid from public
view no one seems to know. Mr.. Ross
has sent the document to Governor
| Otero, who will present it to the local
| historical library, where it will be here
| after treasured up as a precious relic.
The commission is printed on sheep
skin parchment, 15hx171s inches, and
reads as follows: "The president of the
| United States of America" Gin semi
circular form, with the American eagle
and "E pluribus unum' Immediately
| beneath). "To all who shall see these
| presents, greeting: Know We that re-
| posing special trust and confidence in
| the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abili-
| ties of Christopher Carson, l do ap-
point him second lieutenant in the reg
iment of mounted riflemen in the serv-

from the ninth day of June, eighteen

fore carefully and diligently to dis
| charge the duty of second lieutenant
by doing and performing all manner of
things thereunto belonging, and I do

NARROW GAUGE TO GO.
Indications from Denver That Ere Long
Only the More Mountainous Sections
Will Retain It.

As outlined a short time ago in the
| New Mexican, the Denver & Rio Grande
railway people are perfecting, their
plans for doing away with their narrow
gauge system to a marked extent, the
narrow gauge being restricted to the
third division of the road. This means
the removal of the third rail between
| Denver and Salida, 800 miles, along with
the narrow gauge below Pueblo.
The broadening of the track includes
the line to Creole and through the San
Luis valley, which means, as has already
been intimated in the New Mexican, the
broadening of the line to Durango, and
as railroad men believe to Santa Fe as
we'll. The third rail on a road costs con
siderable money, although it may not
appear so to the lay observer. Accord
ing to the scheme set forth in Denver,
standard gauge cars will be run over
the narrow gauge tracks west OF Salida
by placing cranes at the junction for
shifting car bodies from standard to
narrow gauge tracks and vice versa.
Such cranes are in use at several other
points in the United States. but they are
very costly.
The Denver & Rio Grande road has
been under an enterprising and prog
ressive management ever since President
Jeffrey took control. Mr.. Jeffery was
vice president of the Illinois Central
with headquarters in Chicago before 60
ing to Denver, and was thoroughly on
versant with the manifold ramiications
Of that great, complex system of railway.
So he came to Denver with a most
valuable railroad experience, greatly
aided by a special knowledge gained a.
a commissioner to Europe for the Worlds
fair. In fact Mr. Jeffery was one of the
pioneers and pillars of the greatest fair
the world has ever seen, and to his care
full counsel and advice the success of the
fair wa largely due.

Democratic Mares Nest.

Sheriff Garrett, of Dona Ana, heard
just before election that oliver Lee and
Gililland, intended to return home to
vote. So he posted armed deputies in
the top of a warehouse near the voting
place in Alamogordo to watch for the
appearance of the two men and then
arrest them. But the precious twain
evidently got wind of the matter, for
they failed to appear. The deputies
took particularly pains not to show
themselves, but were seen by parties
from the top of the new hotel late in the
day, and then there was a great
h~ullabaloo among the local Democrats
about the polls being under the
surveillance of armed men, and the cry
was raised that the Republicans were
thus trying to influence the election.

HEART DISEASE
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the result
of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case in a hundred
of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food; there is a feeling of
| oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs. interior
ing with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which
irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation Of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless
digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.

by druggists at so cents.
