The Alamosa journal gives tho follow
ing account Of tho runaway that re-
suited in the death OF Mr.. Necley at that
place las. week:
| Wednesday afternoon about o'clock
r. S. Necley, who had been trading in
town, started home. His team being
young and high spirited, and having
stood hitched for some time in the cold,
started to run and soon got the upper
hand Of Mr.. Necley. Tho team, when in
crossing a G-foot ditch running full Of
water, Neelcy was thrown out Of the
wagon. Mrs. +. W. Swanson seeing the
cam pass her house, and recognizing at
once that the driver was helpless. started
rom her home To where Mr.. Nccley fell,
which was two blocks away and by
heroic efforts succeeded in raising Mr..
Ncelcy and holding his head out Of the
water until help arrived. Mr.. Neeley
being able to stand on his feet and walk,
his condition was no. considered serious
other than cold bath and general
shaking up.
He was taken to his daughters home,
Mrs. Al c. Cole, and given dry clothing
and put to bed. He talked freely with
different members Of the family and all
thought by morning he would he all
right; but in shor. time he began sink
ing and bye o'clock he quietly passed
away. Mr.. Neeley being 50 years old, it
is thought that the shock was too severe
for one Of his age. His wife an! son
James were te!egraphed for at Monte
Vista, who came down on the evening

ABANDONED FARMS.
Ignorance or Carelessness of
Their Owners.

Every once in awhile we notice re-
ports of what certain men have done
on so-called abandoned farms. Often
the returns from the land are quite
phenomenal. The explanation is that
some man with both brains and money
has taken hold and put into practice
business methods. Had these been
put into operation from the first there
would have been no abandoned farms.
Men that have investigated the condi-
tions in localities where such lands
have been thrown out of cultivation
have found that the lands had become
run down through constant cropping
without putting back the manure
necessary to keep up the fertility.
What is true of the east is equally
true of the west, and unless the meth
DDS on some of Dur farms change the
time is coming when the farms will
cease to give a living. There are two
unfortunate classes of men that try to
run farms: those that have money and
no brains for agricultural enterprises,
and those hat have brains and nc
money. The latter class is, however,
of the two the more likely to succeed.
In these days of agricultural colleges,
experiment stations and abundant op.
portunities there is no reason why the
man that has money cannot obtain
the necessary brain development to
help make a success of farming

Mr.. Isaac Brock. of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill years,
having been born in I7ss. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the
following terms:
During my long life 1 have known q
great many remedies for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh and diarrhoea. Ihad always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
I have learned from DR.. Hartnan's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.
GAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna,
I have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.

PERTAINING TO THE SCHOOLS.

There are four Filipino students in

There are ga students in the Har-

Of 1OO, 900 tons of crushed trap rock an
nually. Much of this material has been
given to the counties as the states con-
tribution toward the improvement OF
the leading thoroughfares.
North Carolina, Delaware, Iowa, New
York, Tennessee and other states also
have laws providing for the use of On
Wet labor in improving highways.
North Carolina has made great prog
ress and has built more miles of roads
under this system than any other state.
Thus n might, if space permitted, go
through the whole list of states and
find evidences of great progress in
road improvement. Gov. Mount, of In
diana, for instance, says that his com
monwealth is provided with $4,000
miles Of graded, graveled and piked
highways, over 5000 miles of which are
comparable with the best roads of
France. The pubic is now more thor
oughly aroused to the importance OF
the movement for better roads than
ever before, and more roads and better
roads have been built in the United
States in 1899 than in any previous year
IN its history.
The agitation which has become SO
universal will surely result in a well de-
fined pubic sentiment that will soon
overcome all obstacles. With the new
century the good roads movement is
likely to receive valuable aid from the
owners of horseless vehicles already
not uncommon on our thoroughfares.
The aid of these new allies added to
that of the farmer with his pecuniary
interest in the question, to say nothing
of the army of wheelmen already enlist
ed in the cause, promises well for a rap
id spread of the movement throughout
the country.-Cincinnati Commercial

Mrs. OIberg was Judge of Linen and

Olberg is Secretary of the National

Her official duties are naturally very
onerous. and involve a great deal OF
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties so taxed my strength,
that 1 thought I would have to give
them up. Through the continual
change of food and irregular meal
hours, and a poor quality of water, I
lost my appetite, and became wakeful
and ervou in the extreme. My Kid
neys refused to perform their usual

me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent

of the state in this respect. Up to a few
years ago some Of the corvicts had
been supported in comparative idleness
at the expense of the state, while 9TH

stature decided at the suggestion OF
Gen. Roy Stone to utilize convict labor
in preparing road materials. A bill
was passed providing for a highway

of a rock-crushing plant OF n of the

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE.
HUMIDITY AND THUNDERSTORM
MAKE DAY UNCOMFORTABLE.

New-York was treated TO premontion OF
summer yesterday in the shape of day that
was u-comfortably hot from morning till even
ing AS is usual with hot days in this city, 1t
the humidity that made the weather dis
agreeable and not the temperature AT a. M
the humidity was at the high notch OF 50. and 1T
remained high during the day, falling to 81 at
s D. m. The temperature, however, never went
higher than So although this mark is not to
be sneezed at when 1t comes in May. This rec
ord of SO was made at 40 p. m. and 1t was
the highest of the day. The lowest figure was
GA. at 315 a. m.
The feature Of yesterdays weather was the
brief but violent thunderstorm which came up
from the southwest early In the afternoon. 1t
the lower end of Manhattan Island In its path
and then passed Brooklyn toward the
Sound. A peculiar circumstance of the storm
that while the lower end Of Manhattan
was being drenched with rainfall which meas
ured 80. according to the local Weather Bureau,
that part of the island which lies above Thir-
tieth-St., left dry bone. While the
shower lasted it made known Its presence with
heavens into a semblance OF the battery of a
battleship in action. The foremost of the
steamer Morven, lying at Pier No 10. Brooklyn,
struck by lightning and shattered. The
fagpole of the Manhattan Trust Building, at
No. ! Nassau-st-, was also struck, and a great
splinter torn off. No other damage was
done in the city, so far as is known.
The local Weather Bureaus forecast for to-
day is partly cloudy. showers and thunder
