There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few wears was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it incurable,
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

SPEAKING of the postal service in Cuba
and the incidents leading up to his sus-
pension, Mr.. L. G. Rathbone said: The
public should not forget the amount of
work done by the department and the
difficulties I've had TO contend with. 70
the credit of the department it can be
said that, with the vast amount of money
orders handled there was not cent of
shortage. We are doing business Of
100000 annually, handling all the col
lections outside of Havana for the mill
tary authorities, taking the nancy from
the central government to municipalities
and acting as the carrier for the North
American trust company, the govern
ment's fiscal agent. Mr.. Neely came TO
me highly recommended by Perry S.
Heath. 1 placed confidence in him, the
same as l placed confidence in Postmas-
ter Thompson and clerk Bristow. l had

itor reported to me monthly that Neely's
balances were correct, and the inspection
of Neely's accounts. based on the audi
tors statement, show them to be correct
in the latter part of April.

THE attempt to create political capital
out of The visit of the Boer ENJOYS to this
country should be frowned upon by
every intelligent voter. President Nc
Kinley frankly explained the position of
this government to the representatives of
"Oom' Paul. He was the only ruler
who responded TO the appeal of the
Transvaal for Intervention and his
friendly offer was firmly refused by
England. The Boer commissioners are
free to visit any part of this country, and
everywhere they will find an abundance
of sympathy, but this fact cannot alter
the settled policy of this country in such
cases. 1t matters not what party was in
control of the government at the present
time, we would have no csll to interfere
in South African affairs. Not only Eng
land, but all of Europe, would resent any
such presumption on our part Derrick.

situation for that other democrat verv
accurately. "The South was never in a

The frank and cordial treatment of tbe
Boer ENJOYS by the President and Sec
retary Of State showed those gentlemen
that the efforts to make it appear that the
administration is preiudiced against
them is unfounded. Indeed, it was
quickly made apparent to them that the
Government had done all that it could do.
for it had already rendered its good Offices
to bring about peace, thing which no
European nation had done.

FROM one small township in Kansas
five farmers have gone to the Paris Ex-

The Cotton Market,

New York, April 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and steady, with
prices 1 point lower to points higher.
For brief period apathy reigned su-
preme, but the late advance in Liver
pool stirred shorts into activity, which
buying gradually spread to Wall street
and other outside interests as morning
progressed, with new crop showing con-
siderable in point of strength. The gen.
eral trend of sentiment Is more friendly
to the staple, inasmuch as receipts from
nearly all points were light. The wealth
er is still unsettled, and the crop ac-
counts are emphatically bullish. The
initial Liverpool cables made an indif-
ferent response to our decline yester-
day, with private advices asserting that
speculation abroad Is stagnant. The
leading feature Of the local forenoon op-
erations was the liberation of the new
months holding for the reinvestment
In new crops. The foreign contingent
sold May and bought October, while the
pit took new holdings as far up as jan
uary. Manipulation still acts as re-
straint upon speculation.

4 SECRET SESSION.
The Bishops Of the Episcopal Church Will
Discuss Important Questions.

New York, April 19.-Nearly fifty
bishops Of the Protestant Episcopal
church began secret session to-day in
the church mission house. 1t was said
that the chief object of the conference
was to determine action on the resigna-
ton of Bishop jackson, former coad-
jutor bishop of the diocese Of Alabama.
Bishop jackson resigned early this year.
1t is said that his conduct both before
the resignation and afterward, caused
comment. Ordinarily the resignation Of
a bishop would come up before the
meeting house of bishops, but in view
of the circumstances surrounding the
present case the present session by the
bishops Is called to act on the case. An
other important discussion to be had in
the session is the establishment of a
bishopric in Honolulu, Hawaii. The
question of the future establishment Of
bishoprics in Porto Rico and in Cuba
will also be taken up.

MISSED HIS TRAIN.
The Unpleasant Experience Of Tularosa
Nan In Mexico.

W. M. Sanders, of Tularosa, Otero
county, who had been at Santa Rosallx
Springs, had a sorry experience this
month in missing his train to go home
from Santa Rosalia. He had been there
fortnight, and when he arrived ct the
depot Of the Mexican Central railroad
he put his baggage on the train and
went to the ticket Office to sign his tick
ct coupon. He was the last man to do
so, and as he turned around to 60 to
the train 1t pulled out Of the depot. Mr..
Sanders had no other way but to re-
turn to the town, where he had consfd-
erable trouble In finding accommoda-
tions. He was taken very Ill from ex-
posure the same day, and had to spend
another two weeks at the springs. In
the meanwhile his relatives at 81 Paso
and Tularosa had become greatly
alarmed, for they found his baggage on
the train, but no one to explain the
mystery. The supposition was that he
had met with a fatal accident by fall
ing from the train. This week the miss
ing man returned to Tularosa, much to
the joy and relief Of his relatives. He
thinks of suing the railroad company
for damages.

EASTERN TRAINS DELAYED.
The Approaches to the Raton Tunnel Have
Oaved In,

0aved In.
No trains have passed through the
Ration tunnel ON the main line of the
Santa Fe railway for 36 hours and it is
doubtful whether any will pass through
1t before tomorrow. The trouble is
caused by the caving In of the sides of
the long open cut forming the eastern
approach to the tunnel and this is at
tributable to the rapid melting of the
vast quantities of fresh fallen snow on
ground that is but little frozen. Five
hundred men are at work endeavoring
to open the tunnel for the passage of
trains, but the task is proving more
serious than was at first anticipated, as
no sooner is the earth removed from the
cut than more slides down the mountain
to take its place. Chief Engineer Dunn
has reached the scene and taken per-
onal charge of the work.
A rumor is current that Engineer
Dunn may decide to build temporary
track over an abandoned switch around
the slide, but this Is not traceable to
any trustworthy authority, and Is dis
credited by the very latest information
that the delayed mail trains from the
east will reach Las Vegas during the
night, and that west-bound mail and
express will reach Santa Fe In time for
delivery in the morning. 1t Is expected
that a passenger train will be dispatch
ed from Santa Fe for thessouth at 1850
tonight.
Owing to the blockade at the Ration
tunnel and the uncertainty when trains
would be able to get through, most of
the fresh meats, fish and other perish
able merchandise en- route to Santa Fe
by express were ordered back to Kan
sas Citv

AN ATROCI0US CRIME
A Double Murder That Occurred
Recently Near the Pueblo Vii
lage OF
PUEBLO OFFICERS AS JUDGES
Strange Ideas Of Justice Among the Pueblo
Indians They 0ountenanced the hur-
der Out Of Revenge Of Ono Of
Their Number.

From the ancient and picturesque In
dian pueblo at Acoma, in Valencia
county, comes the news of a double
murder that occurred near that pueblo
last week, the participants all being
Pueblo Indians and natives Of Acoma.
The story as reported to the New Mex
lean by its special correspondent reads
as follows:
A man named Hash-ka-ya was mur-
dered by his son-in-law, and when the
first crime was traced to its perpetrator
he was shot and killed by one Of Hash
ka-ya's relatives.
The son-in-law was out on the range
with a flock Of sheep belonging to the
family. Hash-ka-ya went to take him
a supply Of provisions and failed to re-
turn. On the sixth day of his absence,
last Friday. village meeting was
called at Acomita where he lived, and
six men detailed to go In search Of him.
They found his body buried near where
the young mans camp had been. The
sheep had been driven over the ground
the camp moved several miles. The body
showed that there had been blow on
the head, the left wrist had been nearly
severed. and the throat cut. The crime
was easily traced to the son-in-law.
When inquiry was made as to why he
was not apprehended and turned over
to the territorial authorities the reply
was that they were going to send him
to Los Lunas, but his relatives could
not pay his fare. Ut seems they thought
the expense would devolve upon them.)
$50 the (pueblo) officers settled 1t them
selves" That is, they permitted one of
Hash-ka-ya's relatives to kill him.
Both bodies were buried at Acoma last
Saturday, each by relatives.
The first murder is said to have been
the result of a quarrel over financial
matters.
1t Is high time these people should
learn that they are amenable to the
criminal laws of the territory 1t Is be-
lieved that it is the intention Of the
Indians to suppress this whole affair.
and that 1t was an accident that the
deeds were discovered.
The facts in the case have been re-
ported to the commissioner of Indian
affairs in Washington and to the United
States attorney for New Mexico, and
will be fully investigated by the United
States and territorial grand Jury for the
second judicial district.
