entirely. Seeing how much benefit received
from the medicine, my husband, who suffered
from nervous dyspepsia and Indigestion in q

able to sleep but little. After using three bot

what to Do Until the Doctor Arrives.

q tbs very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store
there for q doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain Rem
edy to their neighbors and friends until
he has constant demand for it from
that part of the country. For sale by

Help the Sisters Of Charity.

Albuquerque is raising funds to aid
in the erection of a hospital and SANTA
rum by the Sisters of Charity in that
city. The necessary land has been do
mated, and cash to the amount of 5000
is being rapidly gotten together. Here
it is pertinent to ask, what is being done
in the capital to help the good sisters
in rebuilding the sanitarium? The or
der here has a heavy load to carry in
maintaining st. Vincent's hospital and
the orphan asylum, where over forty
orphans are being cared for and edu-
Gated. The territorial appropriations
for these two highly beneficial institu-
tions are very small and entirely made
quate. The sisters fortunately receive
many donations from charitable people
east, and are thus enabled to keep these
two institutions open and doing excel
lent work. But locally something should
be done to help in rebuilding. A sub
scription should be started for the pur-
pose of aiding this project. The New
Mexican will aid in this by every means
in it's power.

The house committee on military af-
Fairs has directed a favorable report on
the bill to establish four permanent
camps in the four main sections of the
country for use both by federal troops
and the national guard. The bill will
probably become a law. One of these
camps should be situated in New Mex
leo. There are many reasons that might
be urged in favor of establishing such a
camp at Santa Fe, chief among which
are climatic advantages, the fact that
the country round about furnishes an
excellent field for maneuvers, and that
the abandoned Fort Marcy reservation
would form a splendid place for a per-
manent camp of that nature.

TRANSFORMATION.
The BUFFALO RESERVE,
There Is Plenty of Room In Yellowstone
Park For It.
Denver Republican,

Denver Republican,
A bill is pending in congress to estab-
fish a reservation upon which bison
would be cared for in the hope of per-
petuating the species. For sentimental
considerations this may be approved,
but there is little else to induce congress
to make such ar appropriation.
Bison, or as they are commonly called,
buffaloes, once covered the plains be-
tween Denver and the Missouri river.
But they have disappeared, and a few
years ago there were few of the species
in existence. Recently, however, they
have been increased by breeders who
have given special attention to the sub
ject, and there does not seem to be any
danger that the species will become ex-
tinct.
Private owners will find it profitable
to breed them for shows and geological
gardens, and it is possible that in the
course of time they will be bred for the
market, just as cattle are now Since
private owners will keep the species
alive, 1t does not seem to be worth
while for the government to go into the
business. Besides, the Yellowstone ma
tional park would suffice as a reserva-
ton, If it were thought advisable to
make a special effort to increase the
number of bison in the country.

No Wavering Along the Line.

The harmony and patriotism mani
tested at all the Republican state con-
ventions thus far held in the eastern
whose only hope for success is dis
may to the hearts of the Democrats,
whose only hope for success are dis
sension in Republican ranks or some ca
lamity that would befall the whole ma
ton and for which the Republican par
ty might be blamed. But there is not
a sign of wavering along the line, for
even in old Massachusetts, where Sena-
tor Hoar and his anti-eXpansion ideas
are strongest there was no attempt in
the Republican convention to censure
President Mckinley. The delegates de-
clared boldly for the retention of the
Philippines by this government. No
where is there my sign of detection
from the Republican party, while many
right-minded Democrats have an
nounced their intention of voting for
President Mckinley if the Democrats
declare for free silver and the abandon
ment of the Philippines by the United
States.
