ANTI TRUST CONVENTION.

Austin-Governor Sayers says he will
take no steps toward calling a conven-
tion to consider the question of uniform
legislation in opposition to trusts until
after the Texas legislature adjourns.
During the past week he addressed
letters to governors and attorney gener-
ais of all the southern states asking
them what time would suit them best to

SAWED orr A FEW LINES.


The Woodmen sawed wood, and did
other things last night, at their camp
meeting in X. Of P. hall.
Outside OF the regular order OF bus
mess there were two limitations, the
semi annual election Of officers and last
but not least a banquet, as only the
Woodmen know how to serve.
The officers elect are, G. P. Noland,
consul commander; E. N. Slocomb, ad-
wiser lieutenant; Thomas Hadcock, man.

Pierce. watchman; Richard Meserve,
sentry.
1t was eleven o'clock before the lodge
could consistently close business to en-
y pleasure, but At that hour the COM
mittee on entertainment got great
move on itself and brought forth from
sundry ante rooms an abundance Of the
good things of life to refresh and regale
the tired choppers"
There were visitors from all over the
the country, from tho various lodges Of
Woodcraft and all had a few words,
commendatory of Book Cliff Camp No.
81, the parent organization in Mesa
county.
The retiring consul commander OF the
order was James Nj. Kennedy and it can
be said that no official term has been
more productive Of good, than has his
administration. During his incumban-
cy of the Office the lodge has gained in
membership over 30 per cent and is still
growing at lively rate. 1t now stands
oae Of the strongest orders in the city;
is entirely out Of debt and has good
treasury fund.

scHLEY's GREAT WELCOME.

Omaha-The tribute of respect and
admiration that the Omaha people have
been paying Rear Admiral w. S, Schley
during the past few days reached its
elimination tonight at Boyd's opera
house, when the admiral, as the guest of
General Manderson, occupied box to
witness Richard Mansfield's Or ,duction
of "Cyrano de Bergerac."
The admiral entered the theater about
ten minutes before the curtain rose and
the immense ldience rose and cheered
to the echo.
He responded to the greeting by bow
ing, but that was not sufficient, as the
audience kept up the applause until he
rose and made brief speech. The ova-
tion eliminated when Mayor Moores
leaped upon the stage and proposed
three cheers for the hero of Santiago.
The response nearly raised the roof
and Schley had to make another speech.

A FOrerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though it's offensive features
arc sometimes almost unbearable,
Few people are aware Of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse oach winter, those who roly
upon tho usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check tho disease with these local
applications which only reach tho
surface. Tho offensive discharge
increases all tho while, causing q
feeling of personal dchlcment, and
gets doopcr and docpor until it is
only a question Of short time
until tho lungs are affected.
Tho Importance Of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciatod.' But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

dorivo their wealth from the country
Senator Henderson stated that ht
WAS jealous as anyone else in tho
mattor of improving Tho common
schools. but tho Constitution pre-
vented the Senate, ut tho outset, from
organizing bills to raiso revenues
But, besides that, the people were
now taxed enough and conld not af-
ford to pay NOR" taxes. Besides the
law provided that in addition to the
three mill tax for schools any school
district could levy special tax for
school purposes and thereby keep
open the schools for an extra time.
He hoped the bill would he defeated.
Senator Brown, Of Marion, thought
a hulf mill would bc all the addi.
tionnl lcvy needed.
Senator Henderson suggested that
should the dispcrsary law hr done
away with or the State so for prohi,
btion the Comptroller General
would have tho power, under the
provisions of this bill, t. order tho
levy. He opposed this.
Senator Brown, Of Marion, thought
that in the circumstances there would
be no objection
Senator Rnssdalc thought there
would to Objection. Tho people
were already taxed until they com
planned.
At this stage Of the debate, on mo-
ton Of Senator Aldrich, tho Scuato
took recess until ) p. m.
NIGHT SESSION OF SENATE.
Spuutur Barnwcll said hc could
not vote for Senator Hays bill be-
cause he was Of opinion that it was
unconstitutional, aud for the same
reason he was opposed to Senator
ScarhorougE's substitute bill. The
substitute was TO Distribute tho
funds and fix the tenn for schools.
1t WAS wise provision Of the Con-
stitution that distributed the fund SO
that the torn would be- the same all
over the state, and tho poorer coun.
ties would receive benefit from tho
rich. It looked like multiplying the
Constitution to pass this bill.
Scuuthr Scarborough said he would
not go into the cunatitntionnll:v of
th" question. He did not think tho

provisions of tho Constitution wer,
mandatory on tho Legislature to ii,
u term for tho schools to run. HI
did not think it was expedient tt
raise tax at this time to sup
port tho schools for definite period
1t was not because thero was oppo
sition to frce schools, but there was
suffering on account of financial
stringency.
Senator Ragsdale opposed tho bill.
He also thought it unconstitutional
and read from tho Constitution the
paragraphs affecting the question.
The Constitution did not authorize
n apportionment by enrolment, as
proposed by tho substitute. Tho
law said it must be apportioned IN
aid Of tho supplementary tax.
Senator Henderson suid that the
deficiency had been paid in, and was
now proposed to distribute the fund
Senator Walker said he yielded to
no one in his desire to sec this State
upliftcd by education. llo thought
that unconstitutionulity had nothing
to do with tho case. He thought that
one important point has boon lost
sight of. He thought that this Leg.
isIaturo was prohibited from levying
the tax until tho per capita tax was
distlibutrd Tao tax could not DO
icvied unless there was deficiency.
He thought the substitute constitu-
tionul. The financial status of the
State is such that tho Senators dare
not do anything that would increase
taxes. The burden WAS now heavy
enough. lie did not think there
was any mandate that tho torn be
fixed. llo thought the substitute
covered tho whole matter.
Senator Henderson thought it
would be we'll if tho Senate would
bear in mind tho constitutional argu.

history, a few years ago Comp.
troll"r Gcnrrnl Norton refused to
make Il levy and said, swat un-

legality OF th" Comptroller's action
was still in the Courts, aud asked
what wouNh be the effect if tho

Courts decided against the Comp
troliori
Senator Henderson roplied that
the Legislature can now prescribe
how this money should be paid out
Senator Mauldln said that as there
was such difference of opinion
between the members of the legal
fraternity he moved to adjourn the
debate.
Senator May field thought that all
could agree that if it was undertaken
to make scheme to fix terms it
would bo moro difficult than the pro.
position to distribute this fund.
Senator Scarborough moved to
table Senator Mauldin's motion to
adjourn tho debate. His motion
prevailed aud the debate was con.
tinued.
Senator Hay opposed tho amend-
n4ent to make tho term six months
instead Of two. He favored amend.
ing the bill SO that tho Superinten.
dent Of Education would have to ro.
port to the Legislature what def
cheney existed, and then tho Logisla-
ture could provide for tho deficiency.
Then the connection that bills car
rying revenues could not originate
in tho Senate could be gotten
around.
Senator Archer thought that if it
had been Il question Of dividing one
hundred thousand dollars among the
common schools it would not have
taken half an hour, He thought the
Scarborough substitute all right and
would vote for it.
Senator Sheppard agreed with
Senator Barnwell. Ho thought the
bill and tho substitute unconstitu.
tional, and he did not wish the Gen
eral Assembly to come in conflict with
tho Supreme Court, for the Supreme
Court geueralIy won. The last Leg
islature had already decided what
should bo donc with this fund, and
until he found out whether this
question was now before tho Supreme
Court or not he could not vote for
the substitute.
Senator Ragsdale removed his
motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill.

A NEW MEXICO EPISODE OF 80.


The Gun Play, in Barroom, of Bad
Man From Nowhere, and Its Sequel.
From the New York Sun.
Where he came from or who he was
nobody knew. He was not communica-
tive and nobody was tempted to ask
him. That he was bad all hands who
saw him agreed when he rode in
through the new town and began drink
ing in the saloons about old Las Vegas
Plaza. You could read it in his burnt
red skin and wide, low cheekhones, and
thin, straight lips and square jaw. 1t
was just as plain that he was mean of
disposition and bound to get meaner
with every drink he took. He was tall
and wiry of build and carried himself
like a man who knew what it was to
take care of himself in rough places,
and it was an ominouS sign that while
drink brought an ugly CLEAN into his
eyes it did not feaZe him a bit or make
him laxative. 1t was the winter of so,
the year after the Atchison road came
TO Las Vegas, and toughs and des
peradoes and gamblers from every
where had flocked to the town, which
was the biggest and hottest on the line
of the New Mexico division. A bad
man more or less did not count where
there were so many, but there are kinds
and kinds of bad men, and this one,
by his appearance, was not of a sort
for peaceful man, and, above all, a
,tenderfoot, to tip elbows with
"He had been drinking pretty stead
lily since 10 o'clock in the morning. and
it was about o'clock in the afternoon
when I stepped into the Escudero sa-
loon, where. he was standing at the
bar" said Ellis Lyford, sometime of
New Mexico, continuing his account of
an episode which he prefaced with the
foregoing personal description II was
Z new in the country or I might have re-
marked the circumstance that the sa-
loon was pretty, empty for that hour
in the day. The bartender. in a white
Jacket and apron, two cattlemen talk
ing business at a table in one corner,
and the stranger, with his elbow on the
counter. were the only people there
when entered. I asker the bartender
if a friend of mine had been in, and
then, before going out, called for a
drink l swallowed the whiskey and
had turned toward the door when the
stranger spoke to me.

try.
All stamped paper has been made a
thing of the past. Formerly every trans
action in which the government had a
hand had to be carried on upon paper
stamped with certain seals and which
was sold by the government itself for
it's own profit. This was a fruitful
source of income, producing nearly TO-
600 pesos yearly.
1t has been SPANS custom to prevent
fishing in all rivers and lakes of Porto
Rico unless the fisherman paid a good
round price for a license OF course,
much fishing was done without a license.
because the government could not
watch waterways sufficiently close TO
punish all offenders. still the measure
was hardship for the poor man, and
he is better off now that it has been re-
moved. Also a tax called the terri
torial tax" which amounted to per
cent. on all agricultural productions,
has been removed and in these two last
mentioned acts one can see the COVER
nors purpose of Tightening the burden
for rich and poor alike.
Il is the purpose of Dr. Coll to prepare
some statistics upon food consumption
in Porto Rico and he will recommend
W SIeueldi T1SIiS tlidl hour anu uIlIG
meats be admitted from the United
States without payment of duty. DR..
Coll will also recommend that material
for the clothing of the poorer classes
and shoes for the country workers be
admitted free of duty. He considers
that the people would be greatly bene-
fitted If certain kind of pamp which
permits them easily to obtain good
water anywhere in the lowlands could
be supplied at reasonable cost, and he
will recommend that these also be put
upon the free list. His idea in these
recommendations is TO benefit the poor
man and in this he will surely find a
willing chief in General Henry The
commanding general is fully aware of
the aenemic. half-nourished condition
of the poorer Porto Rcans and he also
realizes that men and women in this
condition cannot make good citizens He
is disposed to do all in his power to aid
them, and if he cannot get food to them
at reasonable prices. prices at which
they can buy it, he will seriously con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of issuing them
rations until such time as proper and
necessary nourishment can be placed
within their reach.

MAY Go Hard With Him.

Great Falls, Jan. Sat an early
hour this morning Officer Hogan, on
complaint of Mamie Allison, arrested
j. Ancrum on the charge of petit lar
ceny. The complaining witness is an
inmate of a house of ill-fame and is
an octoroon, She says that Ancrum
visited her place during yesterday ev-
ening and while there stole a gold and
gilt bracelet from. her arm. She laid
in wait for him ana when he was pass
ing, at about l. o'clock, she lured him
into the house a second time and sent
for an officer. Ancrum is a railway
man and claims that he took the brace
let only in joke and intended to re-
turn it later. He had the bracelet On
his person when arrested, and unless
his friends succeed in getting the COM
planning witness to withdraw The
charge, it is likely to go hard with the
young man.
