A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kindeys, Malaria or Nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric }itters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures Constipation, Head
ache, Painting Spells, Sleeplessness
and Melancholy. 1t is purely vegeta-
bic, a mild laxative. and restores the
system TO it's natural vigor. Try Flee
trio Bitters and be convinced that they
are miracle worker. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only 50c "A bottle at John

Valentine Party.

The Valentine party at the residence
OF Gen. and Mrs. Geo. p Taylor,
Monday night, was Il success in every
particular; and everybody enjoyed
themselves tho their hearts content.
The wheel of fortune was presided
over by Misses Mamie Webb and Lucy
Williams, who delved into the future
to please all.
The post office was great feature.
The efficient postmistress, Miss Fitz-
hugl. of Helena, handled the mails
(and The females, too) in such pleas
ant manner as to recommend her for
appointment. There was letter for
everyonc-the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, married and single.
BE still sad heart. cease repining,
For thee somewhere bright eyes are shining"
Read ihe valentine received by an
"Old Owl" which set him searching
among the bright eyes that sparkled as
they read equally sentimental mssives.
The event of the evening was the
archery contest. Each gentleman was
armed with numbered bow, and
sought his partner from among the
ladies who held similarly numbered
arrows. The target was an immense
part-colored paper heart. on which was
pasted smaller hearts. The distance
to shoot was anywhere from five steps
to five miles. 1t was with difficulty
that the space around the target could
be- cleared, but after the first shot
there WAS plenty of room. In accuracy
of aim, William Tell aud Robin Hood,
perhans were not outrivaled, but they
could not have kept the crowd in bet
ter motion, for it was no certain thing
where the arrows would find mark
-Four succeeded in hitting the target.
which was pronounced IA tie. When
the tie was about to be decided, it WAS
discovered that some one had eaten
the prize, IA big candy heart.
While the craftsmanship OF the
human archers WAS poor, it is surmised
that the little .wingless archer WAS
more successful and skewered nun
Der of hearts.
Much credit is due Mesdames Prude
and Manning, and assistants, for the
evenings enjoyment. Thanks are due
10 Mrs. Geo. L. Taylor for the hospi-
talities of her home, and especially to
Misses Alya Taylor and Mamie Fitz,
hugh in their successful endeavor to
make everybody happy.
The Baptist church, for the benefit Of
which the entertainment was given. is
richer today by quite snug sum of
money.

sgnees report. The taking of testi-
mony will probably consume the entire
day, after which argument will be had,
requiring perhaps two days more.
Messrs. Catron & Gortner appear for
A. Staab and A. B. Renehan for the
assignee.
In the District court for Taos county,
two suits were filed this morning. They

Judge McFie was engaged today hear
ing motion made by Hon. Z. B. Catron
for and on behalf of Manuel E. Gonzales
and Fidcl Z. Gonzales, charged with the
murder of Frank Z. Gutierrez at Ran
chos de Albuquerque, in Bernalillo coun-
ty, on Feb. 13, 1898, to be admitted to
bail Hon. Z. A. Finica, district attor-'
ney of Bernalillo county, and c. A.

were two witnesses for the territory eX-
amined, Salvador NJ. Garcia and NJ. A.
Garcia, and for the defense, Jose Jara
milo, Jose Garcia y Griego and Jose D.
Carabalial, are here for examination
The defendants We're on the stand this
morning. The testimony for the defense
is to the effect that the dead man had
made threats to take the defendants life,
and was at the time Of the killing en-
dcavoring to break into defendants
house. The killing is admitted by Man
uel Gonzales. but the connection of FL
del Gonzales is denied. The prosecution

Death Of Mrs. M. A. Marsh.

Melissa Allen Marsh, widow of the
late Jerome l.. Marsh of this city,
passed peacefully over the narrow ribbon
of border land that separates this world
from the world on the other side, where
perfect peace prevails and sorrow and
/ anxiety are unknown, about o'clock
yesterday forenoon. The noble woman
was born in Indiana on the 18th of
| April. 1880. and the sad end came as Il
result of a stroke Of apopleXy at her
sons tea-table on Thursday evening,
due doubtless to the cruel prostration
| incident to the death Of her favorite
beloved daughter Laura on the 18th OF
last January, blow from which she
never seemed to recover.
Soon after her BIRTH Mrs. Marsh went
with her family to the lead mines in
southwestern Wisconsin, and at the age
of Is was married to Jerome l.. Marsh,
who was the pioneer newspaper publisher
of that region, having established
newspaper at Platteville, Wisconsin, as
| early as 1899.
She is the last of family of ten, seven
brothers and three sisters, and to the
very last manifested the energy, ability
and integrity that gave her brothers
front rank in Wisconsin. One of her
brothers. Captain William Moore, of the
10th Wisconsin infantry, with a majors
commission in his pocket, was killed in
the service of his country near Bowling
Green. Kentucky, on July A, 1862;
another brother Captain Jeremiah G.
Moore, of A company, 33rd Wisconsin
infantry, died from the effects of the
hardships of the Vicksburg campaign:
another never recovered from the effects
of wounds received at the battle Of
Nashville, while serving in another
Wisconsin regiment: another, General
j. B. Moore, who went to the front in
command Of the 33rd Wisconsin infantry
and returned home with a star on each
shoulder, never regained his health
after the war and died about nine years
ago. So Mrs. Marsh knew something of
the horrors of war and an hour before
the fatal stroke she. Expressed the earnest
hope that the threatened war between
the United States and Spain might be
honorably averted.
The subject of this sketch has been
resident of Santa Fe for nearly Il years
and has endeared herself to many
people here by her activity in all good
works and devotion to what she deemed
the right.
She leaves behind one son, George
Marsh, of this city, and two daughters,
Mrs. George Il. Sumner and Mrs. Elmer
A. Wilson, of Denver, besides six un-
speakably bereaved grandchildren and
many warmly attached friends. Peace
to her dreamless sleep. Her memory
will ever be sacredly cherished by all
who had the good fortune to know her.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence on Manhattan street
tomorrow afternoon at . o'clock
