Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1901-05-23

A man over in Junea avenue, Mil
waukee, near the German market,
has a dog which he is anxious to give
away, Notwithstanding it is a pet
among the small fry" of his house
hold. This canine is of the Scotch-ter-
.rier breed, and has a prediction for
fighting. He resorts to strategem to
get up a row. His latest plan is to OBJ
tain q juicy bone, from one of the
butcher stalls over in the market.
Then he takes his place upon the
pavement, and watches. When he sees
a country dog following a farmers
wagon, he sizes him up, and if the
symptoms are favorable he picks up
his bone, carries it into the street,
places 1t in the line of travel, goes
back to the sidewalk, places his head
between his front paws, and waits de-
velopments. If the strange dog tackles
the bone, as it certainly will, the city
dog springs out, grabs him by the
back of the neck and nearly shakes
the life out of him. Then when the
farmer and the stallkcepers have sue
ceeded in separating the %combatants,
the Scotch terrier awaits until the ex-
element has passed away, and then
sets his bone in position to catch the
next unsuspecting canine thai intrudes
upon his preserves. And yet they say
that dogs do not think!-ChicRgo Jour

He wasted very little time IN Nro-
liminaries. He grabbed Edith's hand
in his, and attempted to pull her to-
wards him. He did get his arm about
her, and she struggled away from him.
Don't get mad Edith" he said.
It's all right love you and it will
be all right"
What do you mean by all right,
Mr.. Worthington-do you mean you
want me to marry your"
"Sure-yes. Any old time. I'm
ready when you are"
Edith's mother rose from the dark
ness and silently came to where the
pair stood.
Il will be very glad to have you for
a son-in-law Mr.. Worthington," she
said. Il heard you ask Edith to marry
you.
I'VE will have the wedding next
month, or the 18TH" said Edith. And
in a dazed and wondering condition,
Mr.. Worthington took his departure
after a conventional farewell.
Edith sat before the fire and rumi-
mated. The nasty little vine covered
cottage was not to be her portion
she would have Conservatives and a
gardener to furnish her with flowers.
No cheap Autographs would adccn her
wallis, paintings costing thousands OF
dollars would be none too good. She
would ride in an automobile Of her
own. She shuddered as she thought
of the cottage, somehow she always
associated boiled cabbage with vine
clad cottages, and she despised cab
bage above all things. Well, her flu
ture was assured. Worthington would
stick, she would handle him carefully,
and ne would walk up to the altar all
right. Or else-she remembered that
her mother would make a very good
witness, and thought that a jury would
not fail to give her adequate compen-
sation in case of a breach.
She suddenly remembered that Lloyd
was coming to see her the next night.
She did not want any unpleasant in
terviews. Then again, an immediate
announcement would help to hold
Worthington in line. She drew up to
her writing desk.
Dear Lloyd" she wrote. Il have
decided that 1 will marry Mr.. Worth
ington. He has just left here, and the
poor fellow is so much in love With
me, and begged me so earnestly. that

in a woman there is such a thing as

I will except, of course, the love of
a mother. But you take the average

Il don't see why you say that,

that you are mistaken. Now take me

any one suffering with cafarrh,
as my case is complete"
Hon. B. B. DOviner, Congressman
from West Virginia, in a letter from
Washington, D. c., to The Peruna Med
icine Co., says the following Of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
II Join with my colleagues IN the
House of Representatives in recon-
mending your excellent remedy, Pc
runa, as a good tonic and also an ef-
feot've cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary G.. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: Il
think l can say that your good advice
and medicine has cured me of chronic
catarrh. l have had no pains in my
head since 1 have taken Peruna. I
have been in bad health ever since
$50, and have taken a good many med
icines which were only Of temporary
relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The
Peruna stopped my catarrh Of the head
so that it did not become chronic, and
1 am very thankful for DR.. Hartman's
advice and medicine"
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. 1t acts quickly and bene-
icially upon the infamed mucous
membrane, thus removing the cause OF
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every
where. The remedy that will cure ca
tarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations.

BISHOP
WHARF TO
Be BUILT
Contracts to Be
Signed at
Once.

Contracts for the construction Of the
Bishop wharves at the Waikiki end Of
the harbor will be signed this morning
and f.. ]. Cotton. Of the firm of Cotton
Brothers, the lJwor. bi Hers. VIA leave
for the coast On t. Alameda, for the
purpose Of contracting for the neces-
sary lumber AMI supplies. The bid OF
the successful firm WIS sl43,2So and
while there was no time limit in the
tender, II Is understood that the work
of construction will be rushed along.
The first shipment of supplies is eX-
pected to reach here about The first OF
March. but 1t Is probable that the work
of dredging for the slip will be inaugu :
rated before that time. The work is
much on the order of the naval wharf
work, and there will be a great advan-
tage to the bidders in that thcv have
had the experience gained from the
construction of the docks for the navy
department. The first work y be un-
dertaken will be the dredging out of
the slip, which is II ne liIed on elmer
side by the wharfS and sheds.
The coral cutting will be practically
of the same nature as That cncounte red
on the other side, where there had to
be used all the power Of the great
dredger which ti'e Cottons b tilt for the
purpose. II Is expected that there VIII
be about the same amount of work but
that it will be put through in much
less time than that in which The first
work was accomplished. The order
which will be placed on thu coast will
include the piling AMI the sQuar, tim
bers for the stills ana shed lonstruc-
ton 1t is the plan of the contractor
to put these orders in the hands Of the
san Francisco agents o. one of tie
large local firms.
Mr.. Cotton said last evening iha. he
would endeavor to secure the immedi-
ate shipment of the supplies which viii
be consumed in the building of the
docks, and that he would return within
a month to superrtend the work in
person. He said that he expected to get
down to business Immediately urCn his
return, and that he woull push the
work to a rapid completion. His gong,
he said, would not in any way impede
the progress being made upon the
Hackfeld dock at the Eva end of the
harbor, and that there would be no diff
iiculty with the dock there, as il would
be ready for service when it is needed.
The principal supplies which are 20
be secured are the rails and locJIno-
tives which are to be Used upon the
construction work. Tho plan will be
TO dredge slip and then take up thr
work of the building of the whnrves.
=. The ,lumber-.will be handled along the
frontage of some 500 feet upon a vail
road. and this must be built very early
in the stage of the cons ruc;io ion wolk.
1t is probable that at least one lCco-
motive will be purchased by Cotton for
this work.
The new docks will be ready for usa
within eight or nine M ,nihS, according
tn the present plans for pushing the

most disgusting epithets, in their com
ments about the Americans. So IA:
did this go that any American who
went to Havana TO go into business
was soon shown that the people did
not regard him as factor in the bus
mess life of the place, and would not
patronize him at all. In fact, they
would sooner buy from a merchant of
any other nationality than from an
American. This was soon seen in the
customs receipts. After the war there
was a fairly coed trade with Cuba, but
since the returns of 1899 there has been
a clearly defined decline in the amount
of goods which has been purrt ascl in
America. This decline has reached into
the millions and from the reports Of
the custom house at Havana it is seen
that the Cubars are placing 'heir or
ders with Europeans in preference to
American business concerns.

ECHOES FROM
SOUTH AFRICA

NEW YORK, Dee 1.-THE corre-
spondent of the London Times and New
York Times at Pretoria says the recent
British successes occur OppOrtunely, at
"a moment when the Beers are showing
signs of discomfort with the life on
commando. but the British, instead Of
Congratulating themselves, ought to put
forth further efforts, on bigger scale.
Another dispatch from the same cor
respondent says that of the 500 Beers
collected north of Bethel under General
Piet Niljoen, only two comman4os Of
n hundred men each remain in the
neghborhood. The rest, including VII
joen. have gone. to the northeast, to-
ward the DelagOa railway line.
There seems, says the correspondent.
no reason to doubt that Acting Presi-
dent Schalkburger and the "Boer gov
eminent officials" have crossed the line
north. After addressing a large meet
ing near Carolina, at which he told the
burshers that they must be steadfast,
as foreign intervention was certain be-
fore long. Granddaughter seems to have
decided that the country north of the
Delagoa railway line was more attract
i've than the high veldt, where the
British columns are hustiing the Beers
necessarily. He is probably now in the
neighborhood Of Pilgrims Rest, where
some 400 Beers have settled for the
summer.
Piet Viljoen is the leading spirit
among the Beers in the eastern Trans
vaal. After General Botha had been
busy encouraging the burghers with
tales of the withdrawal Of British
trooDs and OF Boer successes in Cape
Colony. his Viljoens) defeat by Gen.
eral Bruce Hamilton should materially

LOOK OUT FOR
SHOPLIFTERS

business men were warned yesterday
That two professional female shoplift-
ers were operating in the stores and a
close watch was kept all day. The first
warnings were given on Saturday to
certain of the store keepers and yester-
day number Of them decided to put
on guards. The only case reported to
the police where anything had been ia
ken, was from Dietz jewelry store on
Fort street. The other jewelry stores
are always closely guarded during a
busy season. and precautions are taken
to prevent the light-fngered class from
making away with any of the valua-
bles.
