The cattlemen of Dona Ana county,
prodting by the experience Of their
brothers in the southern part of Grant
county, are going to put a man In the
field to look after their interests, and
to round up the festive COW thieves in
their county. Since the cowmen Of
southern Grant county put George
Scarborough in the 6eld he has nearly
wiped out the rustlers in this section
OF the country. Having him 10 the
Geld is the cheapest and best insur-
ance against losing cattle by thieves
that the cattlemen ever invested in.
One consequence Of his riding the
ranges Is that thieves are more plenti-
full than ever on the adjoining ranges.
They have been driven away from this
section, and it looks as though many
Of them had moved over TO Dona Ana
county. Ultimately the cattle men 10
both territories will have TO adopt
some such method to rid themselves
of the rustlers.

The practice which has been fol
lowed from time immemorial of grand
juries attempting to make a detailed
report OF the condition of the different
county offices is one which ought to
be stopped. The theory that the
offices are subject to examination and
that the taxpayers are interested iu
their proper conduct is a correct one,
but the custom Of appointing commit
tees to walk into the respective offices,
look around and within Ave or ten
minutes render a report, witch would
require experts days and even weeks
to make, is simply ridiculous. Very
frequently the officers themselves are
kindly invited to prepare these re-
ports, and Of course, he is indeed a
modest cue; who does not take this
opportunity Of ~extoling his ability and
obtain a little free campaign advertis.
ing. The reports thus obtained can
never be absolutely vouched for by
the members of the jury presenting it.
The sooner such proceedings are
dropped, the Acknowledgements.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that the Southern Pacific has sold all
of its interests, which was a three-
quarters interest, in the Pullman cars
that are running on the road to the
Pullman company, and has made IA
contract with the Pullman company
to take charge Of the sleepers on this
road, the contract being similar to
the contract the Pullman company
has with many other roads. The
people who have to ride in the ~sleepers
on the Southern Pacific will be glad OF
this change. The Pullmans that have
been run on the Southern Pacific have
got past their days Of luxury, not to
say usefulness, and modern, up-to.
date cars will be appreciated by those
who ride On the Southern Pacific.

The bridge which was burned out
on the Arizona g. New Mexico road,
has been rebuilt, and Sunday the first
trains crossed over it. Last week
when the passengers, mail and express
had to be transferred at the bridge
nearly all the trains were on time.
while since the bridge has been re-
paired the trains have again failed to
make schedule time. This is account
ed for by the fact that no freight was
carried last week, and the trains be-
ing light could make good time, while
with the heavy loads of freight they
now carry it is hard to make the time.
The smelters St Clifton and Morenci
had to shut down last week because
they could not get in coke. They are
all busy again.

Ben Williams, the we'll known dep.
uty sheriff OF Dona Ana county has
captured what he claims are the men
who robbed the Las Cruces bank some
weeks ago. In following the trail he
discovered a discarded saddle. This
saddle was recognized as belonging to
a man, and taking this as a clue he
went after his man. The man who
owned the saddle IA VIM. Wilson,
formerly OF this county. Williams
found that Wilson and Oscar j. viii.
her had been working together. He
found that WILDER owned some prop
ertS near San Antonio, which was
mortgaged, and that the mortgage
had recently been raised. He went to
San Antonio and consulted with the
sheriff. While walking with a deputy
be met the two men, who were
covered and arrested. He is confident
he has the right men, and has prob.
ably arrived with them 10 Las Cruces
by this time. He has learned that
these two men We're making prepare
tions to enter extensively into the
hold-up and robbing business, that the
robbing OF the Las Cruces bank was
their 0rst work, and that was under
taken to ecure the necessary capital
with which to SUPPLY the gang with
the necessary tools OF their trade.
This arrest will probably put the gang
out Of existence.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. T. F. Gil1ispie in Trying to Open
 Window Slipped and Received Se-
 were Cut on the Right Aarm.
 Mrs. T. P. Gillespie of 35 Dixwell avenue had a narrow escape the other day from what might have proved an accident of a very severe nature. As it was she received very severe gash on the right arm, which necessitated the calling in of Dr. Converse, who had to put in several stitches. II seems that Mrs. Gillespie was endeavoring to open a window on the staircase when she slipped and her right hand went through the glass, causing such a deep cut that the brachial artery had a very narrow escape from being severed. Had this been the case and prompt aid not been forthcoming the accident might have proved fatal. The patient is rest ing comfortably and her medical ad- wiser says that with care she will be all right in few days.

Catarph is the COntin- ual Scourge of

Catarrh hovers ominously over every city, and nestles treacherously in every hamlet. It flies with vampire wings from country to country and casts a black shadow of despair over all lands. Its stealthy approach and its lingering stay makes it Q dread to the physician and pest to the patient.
 It changes the merry laugh of child hood to the wheezy breathing of croup, and the song of the blushing maiden to the hollow cough of consumption. In its whitening grasp the rounded form of the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt and spectral, and the healthy flush of manhood turns to the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid.
 Cough takes the place of conversation, speech gives way to splitting, the re- pulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thick

DON'T NEED REST.
Starved Nerves Need Food.

A food that will naturally stimulate and nourish man so weak that he cannot feed himself must have intrin- sic merit and be worthy the attention of any person with weak stomach. $. D. Horine of Grinnell, Iowa, writes: By pure food seems to me the true way to get we'll After a long time at one of the best equipped sanitariums, without benefit, was put under a fam ous doctor who said that did not need blood, made from pure food, and was put on Grape-Nuts.
 "At that time had to be lifted from my bed like a baby, This was only q few weeks ago. Now I can walk, read, write, and perform many little tasks have not fully recovered my strength, by any means, but I have made most wonderful progress on Grape-Nuts food. It leads me to the knowledge that nerv- ous prostration is simply nerve starva- ton. The nerves are prostrated be- cause they are starved. A starved man does not need rest, but he needs food.
 ''To be sure the famished nerves are forced to rest, put rest cannot restore them. They can build up on food alone With my first meal of Grape Nuts food I was too weak to feed my self, but, after partaking of the food, hopeful spirit, almost amounting to buoyancy possessed me.
 CT can account for the speedy effect of the food on no other ground than that it is so easily digested that only little time and force is required to prepare it for the blood, whereas ordi- nary food requires so much force to ci- gest it that it exhausts what strength a weak man has and leaves the food un- digested ready for decomposition, and changes what should be good food into ventable poison. Easy digestion and rapid assimilation make Grape Nuts the ideal food for anyone"
