Donald /. McAllister,a salesman EN-

Justice of the peace, Friday, upon
the complaint of Charles w. Edwards,
for giving out coupon emitting the
purchaser of one dollars worth of
goods at the establishment Of the

for certain articles advertised by the

missed the complaint against Mr..

There is absolutely no lottery in

advertising scheme. Every one who
Purchases goods gets full value for

sell these tickets at any price. In my

Two remarkably attractive excur-
sions are announced by Messrs. Ray
mond & Whitcomb. They include the
Great Lakes, the finest attractions of
the Rocky Mountain regions, the scenic
wonders of the Puget Sound country
and Alaska, and a trip over the North
ern Pacific line, with visit to the
Yellowstone National Park. The dates
of departure of the parties from Phila-
delphia are July 7th and 18th, A flight
in midsummer to the luxuriant forests,
mountain crags, and stupendous glaciers
of the far north, is pleasant thing to
contemplate, and those who join these
admirably conducted parties are en-
sured many special comforts and adj
gantages. AS the entire tour takes "a
little less than six weeks, it cannot fail
to be most desirable outing for bust
ness people and others who cannot find
time for longer absence. Circulars

Summer demands literature of its
own, and the illustrated chapter upon
summer fiction which appears in Book
News for June will be widely appre-
ciated as one Of the best features of the
number, as it is one of the most timely.
The frontispiece is a portrait of Stanley
Waterloo, author of "A Man and a
Woman sketch of whose career is
given. Other features that will wake
as hearty appreciation in their several
ways are the confessions of Julian
Ralph, George w. Cable, franklin
Bullen, Arthur w. Pinero and other
successful writer's telling of the motives
which inspired their respective works !;
the portrait and sketch of Richard
Whiteing the new literary light
brought into prominence by his story
entitled "No. 5 John Street;'' and
the analyses of the new books that are
challenging thought along the various
Observation-Disclosures activity economic,
historic, psychologist, hiologic, &c. AS
usual there are many illustrations of
the finest type, including portrait of
James Russell Lowell; while all the
departmental features, including illus
trated reviews of the most striking
books of the day in the realms of fact
and fiction, a birds eye view of the
whole June magazine field, poetical
selections, &C., combine to make a
number that fairly teens with CO.
tempary interest from cover to cover.

New York.
In Mrs. Burton Harrison's new serial,
"The Circle of Century which is
to begin in the Saturday Evening Post
Of June 10th, the author deals with
two periods Of society life in New
York City, separated by the lapse of
century, but linked together by the
kinship of the characters. Part |
pictures New York at the close of the
Revolution, and shows the humble
beginnings of a family which has since
become immensely wealthy, and the
departing splendors of their aristo-
cratic neighbors. In Part III the scene
is shifted to the New York of today,
and the story follows the fortunes of
the new generation of Hopes and War
riners. Each part is complete novel;
cite. Always in her element when
writing on society themes, Mrs. Har-
rison has outdone herself in 1.-THE
Circle of a Century," and has pro-
duced romance of absorbing interest.

SALADO COAL FIELDS.
(Alamogordo NeWs.)


Major j. w. Oakford, one of the Penn
%sylvanians furnishing the money for
coal development in Otero county, says:
"On my former trip I was satisfied to
take the representations of the experts
as to the quantity and quality of the
coal at Salado, and I was very glad Of
the opportunity to make a personal in
vestigation this time. 1 found that the
openings had been sunk to such a depth
as to clearly demonstrate the character
of the coal and prove beyond doubt that
the field is almost unlimited and the
quantity of the coal and thickness Of
the veins sufficient to insure economical
operations. In fact, the facility with
which operations can be conducted
quite equals anything in our home coal
fields of Pennsylvania. I was a%greeably
surprised with the skillful work, which
has been done there under the super
vision of Mr.. Wells.
THE country around Salado is very
beautiful, and after a visit to Fort
Stanton / can easily understand the
choice Of this locality for a national
sanitarium."

Loyalty to the government is our ma

WAR ON OIL COMPANY.

(Dona Ana County Republican,
The Standard Oil Company now has
battles on in Nebraska, Colorado, New
Mexico, and are not yet through with
Ohio. Colorado and Nebraska are wag-
ing val On the trusts, and the test case
is with the monster whose head rears
the highest.
AS to the litigation in New Mexico, it
was caused by the Standards defiance
of the law enacted by the last legisla-
ture, and which provides that foreign
corporations of this nature selling their
products in the territory should pay an
annual license of $500. A test case has
been begun by Solicitor General Bart
lett, and no matter what the decision in
the territorial courts, the case undoubt-
eddy will be carried to the supreme
court of the United States. The CONT
mental, which is a branch of the Stand
ard Oil Company, has uniformly dis
eliminated against this territory in the
price of oil, and it is hoped that some
means of throttling this octopus may
be found.

The siege of Paris, where a citizen
bars his doors and threatens from up
per windows to throw boiling oil upon
the police if they try to enter his domi-
cile still continues, probably. The po-
lice camp in the street in front of the
house, while a crowd stands around to
jolly the spunky prisoner, whose friends
are able to toss him cigars and daily pa
pers. The municipal officers gravely
announce that while the defiant citizen,
having been told of the warrant, is now
considered an outlaw,f for fear Of some of
the gendarmes being hurt, they will not
be ordered to force an entrance into the
house. Policemen of Paris are evidently
regarded as too ornamental to take
risks of injury. Bandits who hold up
trains would only have fun with officers
If the French example were followed ! n

The TERRITORIAL PRESS.
E MEXICO COAL.
Taos Cresset.)

Perhaps no state or territory of the
Union is better supplied with fuel than
New Mexico. Immense deposits OF coal
are found in every section of the terri
tory. In the north are the fields of Col
fax county, located at Blossburg. Those
in San Juan county supply the north
western section. In southern Santa Fe,
at Madrid, are to be found unlimited
quantities of both anthracite and btu
minous coal. At Gallup in western Ber-
%nalillo, the output of the Crescent and
Caledonia companies is many thousands
Of tons annually. The fields at Salado
will Don be reached by the Ell Paso &
Northeastern railroad. Development is
now being pushed on these mines. In
other parts of the territory coal is known
to exist, but the mines have not been
developed.

The wool trade of the Argentine re-
public in South America Is rapidly in
creasing. The product goes to France
and Germany, principally. The Dingley
tariff is intended to keep it going there
instead of coming tosthe United States.
The people of New Mexico and the west
can grow wool for the United States,
and are able to do it at a profit when
the product of foreign lands is excluded.
The Republican party has sought al
ways to help the wool grower make a
decent living by shutting out the wool
grown in lands where shepherds are
treated only as slaves of vast plantation
owners, entitled to live only as we'll as
the dogs which share their meals.
