Fashions in mourning millinery have
undergone no radical change in the
present season, especially in the hats
devised for widows wear. Small bon

Spreading bows of crepe are sometimes
added when the shape of the face de-
mands it. and long veil of net or
grenadine tucked at ends.
An elaborate Widows bonnet is mada
with crown of tucked crepe, the tucls
running from front to back and folded
upward towards center of crown. 1t is
trimmed with one high loop up the cen-
ter, and a higher, leaf-shaped crepe or
nament at back, below which is a full
draped veil of brussels net, the edges
finished by border Of applique dull
silk, leaf-shaped and embroidered with
dots A handsome new model has q
crown having a turned-back brim

net has stylish bows clustering closely
over the crown and right side, edges
with roseleaf quilting. Long falls of
crepe edged with dull silk applique,

Tourists mean millions of dollars to
Florida every year. They have brought
fame, wealth and development to that
peninsula, which until a few decade:
ago was regarded merely as an i'm
mense swamp. Florida owes its pros
perity to good hotels. Henry b. Plan!
and Henry M. Flagler, by building pala-
tan hotels along the e~dttern and The
western coasts of Florida, and by al
Vertising them well, induced thousands
of people to go to Florida. A num-
Der of those people stayed and invest
ed and added greatly to the prosperity
of the state. New Mexico Just now
stands in need of a Henry B. Plant CO
a Henry M. Flagler to build good hotels
and to advertise them we'll. There would
be money in it for the investor if f.n
went about it the right way, and there
would be prosperity and growth in it for
New Mexico.

Arapahoe county, Colo, will spend
$40 900 this year on good roads. This is
money well spent, and will add to the
prosperity of the county In a direct and
an Indirect way. Good roads induce de-
sirable settlers to make their home
where they exist, and are of a great
benefit to farmers, whose ~transporta-
ton facilities generally depend alto
gether Upon the state of the country
roads. Pleasure seekers and tourists,
too, will take advantage of good roads,
and will spend their money along them.
New Mexico should join in the good
roads movement. A little money for
that purpose spent annually in a judi
cious manner by the different counties
would soon result in a system of good
roads that would be the pride of the
territory and would prove a good in
vestment.

Prosperity is a good campaign issue,
but it is not the only issue thai the Re
publicans will have to rely upon in No
vember. The prosperity argument by
itself failed in the elections of 1890 and
1892. When the country is prosperous
people are often in a more critical mood
than at other times. While prosperity,
theoretically, ought to inspire gratitude
to the party in power, human nature is
such that in practice it often makes
voters independent rather than CRATE
full. They attribute their prosperity to
their own individual e%ndeavors, or are
apt to growl because some one else got
a bigger chunk of it. While it looks
now as if President Mckinley would
have a walk-over in November, yet a
hard campaign will have to be fought,
the masses will have to be taught thai
very important principles are at stake,
upon which not only present prosperity
but the future of the republic depend.

Stock Items.

James Cushner has signed a contract
with the Pecos Valley railroad for sixty
stock cars, to be loaded at Carlsbad.
The Kansas state cattle sanitary
board has been induced to rescind its
order made about April 1, compelling all
cattle entering or passing through Kan
sas to be unloaded at the state line for
inspection. Inspectors have been APP
pointed to inspect at original shipping
points all cattle intended for shipment
into and through the state, which will
be of great benefit to all cattle owners
north of the quarantine line, as well as
to buyers who want to ship north and
east. There are also three government
inspectors north of the quarantine line.
The usual afidavits are still required.
