DOCTORS STATEMENT.

DIR. Clarke made statement tc
your correspondent that the cou.
pie, both of whom were unknown
to him, reached his office about Z:
30 o'clock; that the woman seem
ed ill and tainted just after enter
ing the door; that he tried to tele-
phone for another physician to as
sist him in reviving her, but after
having placed her in the chair in
the rear she expired.
Other witnesses claim to have
heard screams. The autopsy shows
probably recent attempt at an
operation. The position OF the
dead girl in the chair seems to
confirm it, and it is thought, while
there is still no direct evidence
the circumstantial evidence will
be strong against Clark at the ex.
aiming trial.

A CHASTITY SCENE.

In the dingy room just back of
the prescription case of DR.. w. E.
Clark's drug store and office there
lay the dead body of one of I'm
ion county's most prominent and
beautiful young women, Miss Cora
Waller, of Morganfield, who had
just expired in the operating chair
from a criminal operation. On
the floor, just beyond, bathed in
his life blood, with a bullet in his
brain and one through his heart,
still in death, lay the handsome
form of young Thomas Holt, who
had stood over the lifeless remains
of his ife-to-have- been and cool
ly and deliberately put bullet
throu14 Sis brain and heart.
A great crowd of people clamor-
ed at the doors of the little office
for admittance. and already the
streets were filed with buggies and
fashionable turn-outs waiting for
the barest scrap of intelligence
from the Coroner's jury and ply
sicians on the inside.
In the meantime DIR. Clark had
been taken in charge by Constable
Hammack and others and was on
his way to the Morganfield Jail.
LOVER ANNOUNCES HER DEATH.
Young Holt and Miss Waller
had arrived at Sturgis from Nor
garfield about s o'clock, and it is
supposed at once went to DR..
Clark's office, where, it is alleged,
criminal operation was attempt
ed on Miss Waller, in the course
of which she died. Mr.. Hi T.
Skinner, a merchant, having seen
a light in Clark's store, started in,
but as he. reached the door he was
warned by a voice (that of Holt's)
to keep out, but learning VINO he
was Holt called Mr.. Skinner back,
and falling on his shoulders cried
out that Miss Waller, his affianced
lay in the chair dead. He asked
Skinner to telephone to 317 Nor
garfield, and tell Mace Waller that
his sister Cora was dead at Sturgis
also telling him that his { Holts)
horse and buggy were at the rear
of the store.
WOMAN TO THE RESCUE.
Mr.. Skinner, thoroughly defn.
ing his purpose, started for his
own establishment to telephone to
Morganfeld. He met his wife
there and told her that Miss Cora
Waller was dead in the rear of DR..
Clark's store and to go down there
he following shortly afterward.
When Mrs. Skinner arrived she
saw Tom Holt, who told her that
Cora was dead.

A Daily Paper for Las VEGAS.

East Las Vegas and Las Vegas have
for several years stood in need of daily
paper which represents journalism in
its higher and nobler aspects and which
by being Republican in politics would
work with the other Republican papers
of the territory in upbuilding New Mex
leo and its manifold interests to which
Democratic success would mean d%estruc-
ton and death. That this need is to be
filled is a matter for rejoicing and con-
graduation to the people of the two Las
Vegas towns who have been misrepre.
sented by a daily paper whose chief
argument was SANDER and v%ituperation
and whose policy was to assist the party
which has been looting public treasures
and which in its national policy seeks
to destroy the sheep and other i'm
portant industries which have helped
to make Las Vegas n of the leading
cities of the territory.

A Reason for II.

A look at the advertising columns of
the st. Louis and the Chicago papers
explains readily why so much New Mex
leo money is SEM out of the territory for
the necessities and Injuries of life which
should be bought from home merchants
The St. Louis and Chicago merchants
advertise literally, while the majority
of the home merchants do not. A Chi
cago, st. Louis or Kansas City merchant
thinks nothing Of buying a double page
in a city paper which costs him several
thousand dollars for II issue, while
many a New Mexico merchant imagines
he is being robbed when a home news
paper asks him to spend S. a month for
advertising. There is a reason for every
thing and there is a good reason for the
fact that several thousand dollars leave
Santa Fe and every other New Mexico
city every week for mail orders to out
of-town merchants.

cratic orators, are trying to saddle the
odium of trusts on the Republican par
ty. No doubt people are tired of hear
ing of trusts in type or speech, but a
little history now and again is a good
thing to know.
A year or more ago Mr.. Bryan, before
a non-partisan audience, declared: Il
am in favor of an amendment to the
constitution that will give to congress
power to destroy every trust in the
country"
A little later the Republican majority
OF the judiciary committee in the lower
house of congress proposed to that
house the following amendment: "To
lodge in congress the power to define,
regulate, control, prohibit or dissolve
trusts, monopolies or combinations"
On the resolution to lay this proposed
amendment before the people of the
| several states the house voted as fol.
lows: For the resolution, 149 Republic
ans and 5 Democrats and Populistsi
against the resolution, 2 Republicans
and 1879 Democrats and Populists.
There was not the required majority
and the amendment was not laid before
the states. There would have been nc
Republican opposition in the senate
MIR. Bryan's friends killed just such ar
amendment as he proposed.

State Sanitaria in New Mexico.

The plan of every state in the Union
to build a hospital for consumptives at
Fort Stanton is an excellent one and
another testimonial to the climate of
New Mexico. Said u renowned physi-
clan of New York, a few weeks ago to a
patient who is now in Santa Fe: "New
Mexico has the only climate in this
country that will cure bronchial and
lung trouble" This view seems to be
generally accepted by the medical pro-
fession today and must result in the
stream of healthseekers formerly head
ed for Florida, California and Colorado
being guided to New Mexico. The
establishment of state sanitaria and of
lodge homes at Fort Stanton would
hasten the exodus to this territory. A
better plan, for various reasons, would
seem to be the scattering Of these SAM
taria. First, it would be rather gloomy
to most patients to be surrounded by
the inmates of 40 to so other sanitaria
built in the sa me locality. Then there
are so many attitudes and so many diff
ferent isotherms of temperature in New
Mexico that some cases would be more
benefited by residence at Santa Fe or at
Las Cruces, or at Las Vegas or at Albu-
querque than they would at Fort Stan
ton. Now that the physicians have
acknowledged that New Mexico is the
only place in this country where con
sumption can be cured they will un-
doubtedly study more closely the matter
of altitude and temperature adapted to
the cure of the various forms of bron-
chial and lung trouble. With that de.
termined and state institutions in differ
ent parts of the territory there could be
an exchange of patients very often,
who would recover more rapidly in a
given altitude. Of course, it is under
stood, that the state and lodge sanitaria
are to be erected only for INDECENT pa
tients, while wealthier patients would
%patronize the sanitaria erected and
maintained by private OF. institutional
capital in New Mexico or establish
homes here. The prospect of the
growth of New Mexico on that one score
alone, of being the healthseekers' only
refuge, is very great and an indication
that from henceforth the territory, and
principally its towns and cities, will
make greater strides forward than they
ever made before.

Republican Gains in the South.

The Republicans look for considerable
gains In the south in the November
election, although they do not expect to
carry any but the border states of Mary
land, Kentucky and West Virginia.
The south is for expansion, it believes
in sound money, it believes in the pro-
lection of lone industries, in fact the
majority of the people OF the south be-
lieve in every important Republican
doctrine and are against nearly every
fallacy enunciated by the Kansas City
platform, but tradition has such a firm
hold upon them that many southern
still imagine that it is patriotism

Not much reliance can be placed upon
the predictions made by the political
parties, because their candidates draw
large crowds wherever they 60. A cir
Gus draws large crowds, too, and the de-
sire to see and hear a political leader
will draw a multitude, irrespective of
p~artisanship. Then, too, the American
people as a rule haye become so tolerant
of opposing political opinions that they
eagerly grasp the opportunity to hear
politics discussed from more than one
standpoint. Therefore, when the Bryan
lite papers claim that Bryan will carry
this or that state because the people
turn out in large numbers to hear him.
they are simply talking buncombe, and
no n knows this better than the
Bryanite papers themselves.

While protection to home industries
is the policy that has built up the indus
tries of the United States, very few peo-
pie will find fault with the Michigan
supreme court for declaring illegal the
bounty of one cent a pound on all beet
sugar manufactured in the state. There
is a difference between protecting n
home industry by a tariff, a license or
exemption of taxes for a certain period
of time and a direct granting of money
out of the public treasury to the pro-
moters of a certain industry. The Michi-
gan constitution does not permit the
latter, and the beet manufacturers in
other states are thus relieved of q com
petition which had the advantage of
them to the extent of one cent on every
pound of sugar that was manufactured.

Even among royalty love does not al
ways run a smooth course The lnfanta
Maria Mercedes, of Spain, dazzled by
the romantic adventures of the Duke of
Abruzzi of Italy, has Tilted her old lover,
Count Casserta, in favor of the duke
whose exploits in the north polar regions
are at present the talk of the world.
Count CasSerta has written to the pope
complaining that the queen regent,
mother of the ~infanta, has made a fool
of him, and the pope wrote to the queen
regent and to the ~infanta, warning
them against taking a too worldly view
of marriage. And thus the of
three young people in royal circles has
become a subject for gossip at the Euro
pean courts.

The overcrowding Of the public
schools in Santa Fe is another indica-
ton that the capital city must, in the
near future, build a modern school
building in keeping with the importance
of the city. The present board of edu-
cation, by exercising economy, al
gather a nucleus for a fund TO pay for
the erection of such a building. Santa
Fe is the only large town in the terri
tory which does not possess Il large
modern school building of its own, and
the time has come when that reflection
upon the progreSsiveneSs of the people
of this city must be removed.

cause Colonel W. j. Bryan has made q
specific, although vague promise, that he

reclamation Of the arid lands 1t Is deemed

matter Of fact, the Republican party is

arid lands, and under the prosperity
which its continuance in power will con-
tinue to bring, the national government

still hold to the absurd superstition that
the Republican party and negro do
mination are one and the same thing.
But gradually, as the older generation
dies out aud the young men of today
take their place, the Democratic hold
upon the south is relaxing and large
Republican gains may be looked for
from now on until the southern states
become as independent of party tradi-
ton as are the states of the north.

every new play submitted to the censors

A mild censorship wouldn't hurt the
