neighboring town was invited TO preach
the sermon. He proved to be a cold,
nervous speaker, aud his discourse fell

preacher" asked one of the congregation,

candidly replied his friend, who was an

Admiral Dewey has declared himsel

he belonged to, but finally admitted
that he was democrat. 1t will b.
re remembered that his wife is tn
sister OF John r. Mclean, the Obi,

the Admiral. 1t affords a peculiar

In conversation with a farmer the
other day this remark is remember
ed "Great year, this, if we get a
good crop of wheat" Our friend,
like many others, doubtless, has for
gotten that Hand county's wheat
crop has got to be only one-ffth OF
her production. That is according
to the purchase OF all products OF
Hand county, wheat only mounts
to one fifth the total sum. We no
longer depend up on wheat, and while
it is one Of our mixed products, yet
it's failure would never again affect
us as it did ten or twelve years ago.

The work of Dr. Grltfiths will be watched with interest.
 The DemiDg Headlight says two thousand head of thirsty cattle of all kinds of brands and marks came down the Southern Pacific track in that town last Sunday, and being nearly famished for water, created quite a furry among the citizens of the west end. Mir. Ed Pennington was obliged to turn out, and with the assistance of others of his family drove the herd of thirty cattle away from his place. w. J. Wamel was in the same fix, as well as others. These cattle had been evidently rounded up and cut out from some waters north of the track, and started south to the detriment of all who were in their way. Two thou sand head of cattle, half-crazed for the want of water, are not what any one in their path wants to come up with.
 Lordsburg Liberal: Luther Nj. Nellis, of Topeka, Kansas, was in the city Sunday. Mir. Nellis took the live stock census for a large portion of the state of Kansas, and after he had fin. ished he was sent here. J H.

Nelis was sent to help him out and he will cover eastern Cochise and Graham counties and all of Grant. He is only expected to otake the census of herds of more than 300 head of stock. When he reached here he had just completed ride from Blue to Clifton and had e me to the conclu, sion that territorial counties GOV cred great deal of ground and that great deal of the ground was very rocky. It is dollars to doughnuts that he will find more cattle in the caunty this fall than c. W. M. Carvil did las L ,pring.

BRYAN'S PROSPECTS
BRIGHT.
Sure Of 176 Electoral Votes
With III Doubtful-Needs
48 to Elect Him.

Says the New York Journal;
1t is generally conceded by Re-
publicans that Bryan is as least
as strong now as he was four
years ago. They admit that he
will carry the twenty-five States
that he carried in 1896 and that
the fight to beat him must be
fiercely waged in those States in
which the Republican majorities
were so slight as to place them
in the doubtful class.
1t was publicly announced in
the caucus of the New York del
egation during the Philadelphia
Convention that the centre of the
conflict would be this State and
that the Republicans would have
to struggle hard to win its thirty
six electoral votes.
New York gave Mckinley a
plurality of $4,000. If the Re.
publicans feel this way about
New York they are in greater fear
concerning the States that gave
Mckinley a narrow margin. Here
is a table showing eleven States,
the electoral vote in each and the
Republican plurality of each in
1896.
