Skillful chemists are sm. ployed. The purest of drugs and ingre- dients are used. No physicians prescription is anywhere more skillfully compounded.
 Dr. Harter, who established the business, while in active practice discovered his famous Iron Tonic. Its unbroken success of half-a-century and the magnitude of the present business is a monument to him both as physician and as business man. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is sold every where and is recognized as the best blood purifier and tonic in use.
 Houston. Texas, Dec. 4, 1901.
 "My father has used your medicine since the War, and when married in December, lSs2 I commenced housekeeping with one bottle Of pr. Harters Iron Tonic. one bottle of his Wild Cherry Bitters, and two boxes of nls Little Liver Pills. I am now near sixty two years of age. Looking backward feel attached to the old medicines and would not change them for any of the new ones made.

MT. PELEE's POWER.
Hydrochloric Acid Gas Was th< Death Agent, Says Prof. verrill.

Death Agent, Says Prof. Verrill. New York Journal.
 Professor A. E. Verril. instructor tn geology at Yale University. has publish ed in this city an entertaining expla na- ton of the tornado of fire" which stud denly swept over St. Pierre and killed most of the people and instantly set on fire the buildings and shipping; and also of the suffocating vapors that immediate ly killed most of those that escaped the outburst of flame. This fire. says Pro lessor verrill. can be fully explained by the Association of the oxygen and hydro gen of the water that came In sudden contact with intensely heated lava within the volcano.
 At 1t was probably sea water, the chlor- inc of the salt would also be separated as gas. These gases escaping with great violence and In vast volumes, mix ed with steam. would instantaneously ex- plode in the open air. causing the ip- tensely violent outburst of hot flames that swept down the mountain and over the town, for such mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is among the most explo- sive of all known gases. and # produces an intense heat.
 If chlorine were present. as was doubt less the case, adds the professor, 1t would also form an explosive mixture with the hydrogen, generating hydrochloric acid gas This Is an exceedingly suffice e.ing gas-deadly if inhaled fin any considerable amount. 1t Is always produced when sea water comes in contect with highly heat cd lava deep within the crater of volca- noes near the sea.

SUING THE MORRIS BANK.
Case of Mrs. Hannon Taken Up by
 Circuit Court

Mrs. Marie Hannon Is suing Josiah Morris and Company Tn the Circuit Court of Montgomery for A,20o. the amount of a deposit after deducting the F l-2 per cent payment which the bank made. She had this amount on deposit with the banking house of Josiah Morris and Con- pany when 1t suspended in aJnuary, 1901. The suit occupied all the afternoon ses- sion of Judge Richardson's court yester- day.
 When the court adjourned at p. m. the pieadings had not been completed and no testimony had been heard. The first session of the court on the case developed the fact that it would be a legal battle strongly fought on both sides. The whole of the session was taken up with the fl- ing of pleas. demurrers and answers and the arguments on them.
 The agreement which the creditors of the bank signed, allowing the bank of ficials to remain in charge of the affairs of the institution. they agreeing to settle with the creditors at stated intervals. figured largely in the demurrers and the arguments upon them.
 Tlse outcome of the case will be watch ed tith great d gal of interest as several suits of similar nature are on tine docket in the Circuit Court and in the City Court.

INDICTED A WIFE MURDERER,
True Bill Returned Against lndalaeio
Sena by Grand Jury.

VIVA ~
The territorial grand jury of San Mi
guel county returned a true bill this
morning against Indalacio Sena, of
T~rementina, for the murder OF his
wife. says the Las Vegas Optic.
The murder is reported to have oc-
Cured five months ago, and was n of
the most brutal in the criminal history
of the county. Sena killed his wife by
beating her to death. kicking and
pounding her. Her body was complete
" covered with bruises and was a
mass Of black and blue spots.
When the jury reported the prisoner
was brought in and a%rraigned, and the
date of trial was set for Tuesday, of
next week.
The case of the United tSates VS..
Doroteo Duran. for building forest
fires. was brought up this morning and
a jury chosen for the same. On ac-
count of the displacement of the pa
pers in the case the court was adj
journed until 2 O'CLOCK this afternoon,
so that the district clerk would have
time to look up the papers. Some
good natured i~nsinuations were eX-
changed between Attorneys Childers
and Spiess. the attorneys in the case,
as to where the papers had disappear
ed. The case against Doroteo Duran
was finally dismissed, the papers not
having been found.
On next Monday afternoon the doc
ket for the territorial criminal and
| civil cases will be arranged.

POWER IN THE o p

On the Sd of June, at their election
for congressman and state officers, the
voters of Oregon are to pass upon a
proposed constitutional amendment
applying the initiative and referendum
in legislative matters. This amend
ment recites that while the legislative
power of the state is vested in a legis-
iative assembly consisting of a senate
and house of representatives, still the
people reserve themselves power 10
propose laws and amendments to the
constitution and 10 mac or reject the
same at the polls, Independent of the
legislative assembly, and also reserve
power at their own option to approve
or reject at the polls any act of the leg
i|slatiye assembly In order that the
people may exercise this power, the
proposed amendment provides that
when S per cent of the legal voters pc
tition for specific legislation the same
shall be submitted to popular vote, and
shall become law if approved by a
majority voting thereon; and any en-
actment of the legislative assembly
may be submitted to popular vote by

STATEHOOD GLIB

The Las Vegas Optic says that three
citizens were sitting in the judges
room at the court house. incidentally
the subject of statehood was spoken
of. One said: Suppose we form o
statehood club at once. and do what
may he to aid the movement Quick
as a flash came the reply: "All right,
let us ORGANIZED" Suiting the action
to the word. a call for a meeting to be
held at the city hall next Monday night
was written and is now being signed,
without respect to party by those who
favor statehood. Everyone. signs it
and it is confidently believed that 300
signatures will be placed on the call.
The purpose is to make the movement
absolutely non-partisan. and to organ.
iZe an effective club of active, aggres-
sive, working members, who will
"whoon it up" for statehood and New
Mexico,
