As the coinage system of the country
seems destined to be a generally discussed
topic for years to come Mr.. David K. Wat
sons book should be studied by all those
who desire accurate information. Because
of the absence Of such books four or FIVE
years ago many intelligent people were
mised by mass of misinformation. The
value of the work lies I'm its absolute ac-
curacy. 1t is history, and such may be
relied upon. 1t is book OF 2l5 pages, but
1t Is so concisely written that all the au-
thorities are quoted. In no book is the his
tory OF the alleged crime of 1873 so clear
ly stated. The facts which Mr.. Watson has
secured and condensed make it certain that
there could not have been anything like
secrecy in connection with the passage Of
the act of 1873. Mr.. Watson shows from the
language of men in Congress that the
changing of the ratio to is TO i in 1884 put
the United States on a gold basis. Those
who carefully read the book will come to
the conclusion that a double standard is
an impossibility. Published by q. p. Put

Studio. In the Psychology Of Woman.

This book claims to be the first attempt
at psychological study of woman which
has been laid before the public by woman,
it being translated from the German Of
Laura Marholm. In il the author has
sought to grasp those points of view and
facts which are affected by the social posi-
ton OF woman in the present and recent
past. She has depicted woman as her ma
ture and ideas were unavoidably formed
during the later centuries, and shown why
she has arrived at her present high place.
AS much light possible is thrown upon
womans activity in the most varied social
positions. her personal efforts and her gen.
eral character and the points where, in the
opinion of the author. her best wumanhood
and her deepest insufficiency lie are en-
phasized. The subject is treated in very
psychological. one might say metaphysical
way, and from the point of view OF adj
vanced German thought. The author makes
strong plea for the emancipation of
phrase. Chicago: Herbert S. Stone & Co.

CHINESE SMUGGLING
An Effort Made This Morning To
Get Bottom Facts About the Syn
Airafo

This morning a Mexican who is sus-
pected of being one of the sub-agents
of the mammoth Chinese syndicate,
which is believed to have been operat-
ing in JuareZ for q long time, was plac-
ed on trial before United States Com
missioner Sexton.
The was8 Mexican arrested August Is,
while coming towards town on this
side the river with two strange China
men, who had only ntly arrived in
Juarez from the interior of Mexico.
The Cinnamon had no papers and
they and their escort were arrested by
Inspectors Holmes and Dryer.
This morning strong effort was
m ade to connect the Mexican with the
syndicate but the commissioner with
held his decision.
On one of the,Chinamen a note book
was found, on the fly leaf of which was
written Quong Song.
There was also q conductors receipt
showing a cash fare paid from Mexico
city to Juarez. These things were in
troduced in evidence.
The inspectors testified that Quong
Song operated q laundry and lodging
house at Juarez and that most of the
Cinnamon from the interior stopped at
his house for time before making
tn cir way to other destinations.
The evidence of guilt was not very
strong against the Mexican and the
commissioner ordered him back to Jail
until the Cinnamon had been tried.

ORDERED OFF
REPRESENTATION
An Alleged Scientist Invaded
the Mescalero Country
to Prospect
VERY RICH STRIKE

Made by an Indian Excited His Cupidity.
-Ex-Governor Mcconnell, the Indian
Indian Inspector. After an Investiga-
ton Notified the Scientist to Clear Out
United States Indian Inspector Nc
Cornell was in the city Saturday night
from the Mescalero Indian reservation
in New Mexico, where he went q short
time ago on official business of q pecu-
liar pature.
Mcconnell is ex-governor of Idaho
and WAS formerly United Stated sem
ator. He is q big man in his neck of
the woods and Ia we'll known all over
the west.
Ex-Governor Mcconnell did not want
to talk to HERALD reporter concern
ing the nature of the business that took
him to the Mesealero agency but from
other sources it was learned that its
that white men had been prospecting
op the reservation.
The report was found to be true.
Some time ago an Indian came off
the reservation to J. w. Prude's store
at Ruidosa, on the outskirts, and ex-
hibited one of the richest pieces of
gold bearing rock seen in that section
for many day. 1t was as large as a
cigar box and pieces of free gold, some
were visibl all over it.
The curiosity Of the storekeeper was
naturally at once greatly excited and
he asked the Indian If be could guide
him to the spot where he found the
rock. The Indian readily agreed to do
this, and took him to the spot, but the
storekeeper, knowing that he could
not stake out the claim in the reserva-
tion, reluctantly gave up the scheme
of ACQUIRING the property.
The Information about the discovery
got out, however, and q short time ago
there appeared at the reservation q
man calling himself DR.. w. N. Warren,
who presented letter from the Indian
commissioner to the agent, which stat
had been given permission to prospect
on the reservation for scientific pur-
poses.
Warren, it subsequently developed,
had come to look for gold and failing
to find the spot where the Indian had
made his strike, Warren tried to force
the Indian to tell him its location, and
failing in this went to Prude and pro-
posed to him that they go into partner
ship on the mining proposition. He
told Prude that he would guarantee to
have the agency thrown open within
six months if Prude would show him
the claim and accept his terms.
Prude declined to do this.
Warren said that Indian Commis-
sioner Jones and Senator Jones of New
ada, were both back of him and claimed
that by their influence the reservation
would be opened up.
He next wrote q letter to an official
of Otero county and invited him to
come to the agency. Then he made a
proposition to him, which was also re-
jected.
Indian Inspector Mcconnell got wind
of the alleged scientists movements
and other acts and went to the reser-
walton. After a thorough investiga-
tion he ordered Warren off the pre-
mises.
When Mr.. Mcconnell went through
the city he said that he had put stop
to all prospecting on the reservation.

WAS 1T THE MISSING LINK.
A Man Who Must Be Tried For Muir
der, or For Cruelty To Animals
According to the Nature of His
Victim.


One of the most remarkable cases
that have ever been presented to any
court is agitating the people of Bone
steel, in South Dakota, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. 1t is q question as
to whether q man has committed q
murder or whether he Is simply guilty
of cruelty to animals. Upon the Ques-
ton whether his victim was brute or
human depends whether q Snowman,
Archie H.Brower, is guilty or innocent
of murder. That he destroyed life
is not denied by Brewer, but he and
his lawyers say that it was that of q
mea a Of n the O si@ian tribe tribe
On the other hand, the states attor-
neys say that the life destroyed was
that of a man.
Brewer and his partner, Henry
Thorndyke, are the owners of a small
tent show. which was at Bonesteel
three weeks ago, and which had for it's
chief attraction q creature which ap-
pesred to be q higher form OF animal
man.
The skull of the creature was about
half wsy between that of chimpanzee
and the lowest race of savage. Its
teeth projected, its gait was shutting,
its toes were prehensile, and most OF
it's body WAS covered with hair. II
had no tail and it's hands, feet and up
per part of the face were almost free
from hair. 1t was also able to utter
sounds approaching closely to actual
articulation.
Bower and Thorndyke styled the
creature the "missing link" and laid
great stress upon the alleged fact that
no one was able to say whether 1t be-
longed to the human or brute creation.
Mr.. Brewers views have undergone
q considerable change since his arrest
on charge of murder. The Snowman
is lost in the defendant. He now
asserts that there is no possible doubt
that the creature was genuine monk
ey, and tn at it had not even q shadow
of title to classification among the
human family.
How did Brewer come to STAY the
animal? He did it in a sudden fit of
passion. The creature, whatever it
was, was subject to occasional fits of i'll
temper, during which it gave its man
ayers much annoyance. 1t had one Of
it's spells while at Bonesteel, and at
tempted to leave the stage at a per-
Torrance. Brewer attempted to re-
strain it, and in a scuffle which follow
ed the Snowman became SO enraged
that he seized a heavy club and dealt
his freak q terrible blow on the head
from the effects OF which 1t died few
hours later.
Brewer was placed under arrest by
the local authorities upon the charge
of murder. At the preliminary hear
ing his lawyers set up the defense that
their client did not take the life of a
human being, and that, while he may
be guilty of cruelty to animals, he can
not legally be held on charge of MUIR
der.
Despite this plea, the magistrate
bound Brewer over to the
grand jury. Now his lawyers
will attempt to prevent the
return of an Indictment on the came
ground as that alleged in the lower
court.
Meantime local physicians are max
ing q careful examination Of the body
of the victim, to discover, If possible.
what charge should be brought against
Brewer on the Fl nal trial of the case.

horse started, he made an effort to
grasp the dashboard, but he missed it
and was hurled to the ground.
He sustained q number of bruises on
his body, in addition to being SCARED
up badly about the face.
It was reported shortly after the
accident that Mr.. Murray died without
ever regsining consciousness, but
there was no truth in it.
Today he is resting quietly.
