Fund for Forest Reserves.

Delegate B. S. Rodey has received
the following letter from the Depart
ment Of the Interior, in reference to
the construction of roads on the Pecos
forest reserve and the preservation Of
game. which have been urged by the
New Mexican:
Hon. B. S. Rodey. Albuquerque.
Dear Sir-In answer to your favor
of October 1st, allow me to say that
the total funds for forest reserves are
divided among the reserves according
to definite plan in which the area.
the amount of business through timber
applications and grazing, as well as
topography, climate and Importance OF
the reserve are considered. AS we are
at present, the appropriation simply
does not permit us to do more than we
are doing. AS to roads. we never had
the funds to build any and have to con-
tent ourselves with the building of
trails essential to a satisfactory patrol.
The New Mexican is right but the rem
edy lies with Congress"
Delegate Rodey will introduce bill
at the coming short session for an ap-
preparation to build good roads on the
Pecos and the ella forest reserves.

NOTED WOMAN DIES.
Elizabeth cady Stanton, Aged Woman
Suffraqist and Writer, Passes Away.

New York, Oct. 26-Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the well-known woman sur
fragist, died to-day at her home in
West Ninety-fourth street in this city.
Old age was given as the cause OF her
death. She was conscious almost to
the last. About week ago Mrs. Stan
ton began to fail rapidly. This be-
came more noticeable last week and
then it was known to the family that
her death was only question of days
or hours.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton reused
the church membership of the country
year or two ago by demanding an
expurgated Bible, with all derogatory
references to women left out of the
text. She was called the grand old
woman" of the suffragists. She was
one of the signers of the call for the
first woman suffrage convention which
was held at Seneca Falls, New York,
on July 8, 1S4S. She was the only
signer of that call who stuck to her
colors throughout the years and never
tagged in the work then begun, al
though she faced storms and hurri-
canes of ridicule and vituperation.
Mrs. Stanton was born of Puritan
ancestry at Johnstown, New York,
November ~, 1916. Her father was a
distinguished lawyer OF the time AS
a girl she was educated at Mrs. VIII
lard's Seminary at Troy. She was mar
ried in 1910, went abroad, and on her
return took up abolition. No conven-
ton of women suffiragists was COM
plete without Mrs. Stanton, and it is
probable that she did not miss one
since the foundation of the association
The news of the death of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton fell with crushing
weight upon Susan B. Anthony. who
had planned to go to New York on No
vember 18th to assist the venerable
advocate of woman's suffrage in the
celebration of her eighty-seventh
birthday.

CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE
Scientist Has Powder That Brings
Dead Animals to Life.

DIR. G. w. Littlefield of Alexandria,
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his Investigations of the vital
principles of life, experimenting with
cats, dogs. monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs a solution of saline
origin, with salt as the basis, saturat-
ed with oleo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere of
free ammonia. Having secured this
saline solution, DR.. Littiefeld reduces
it to powder. 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course of experiments.
For instance, having put to death
dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
legations that all life is extinct, DR..
Littlefield takes the corpse and with
out preparation of any kind, places
1t Npon a heated stone or porcelain
plate, brought to temperature cor
responding to that of the normal body,
and covers it thoroughly with light
layer of the powder.
Within three or four minutes from
the time the powder has been coated
over the dead body signs Of life man.
ifest themselves, and within fifteen
minutes after the resuscitating meth
ods were begun in every instance, the
subject has returned to normal life.
A cat remained dead two hours, and
during this time was allowed to re-
main in the hot sun until rigor. .mortis
had set in. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned to consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing a drop of the liquid
with minute particles of solid sub
stance in it under microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life

NEGROES GROW RICH FAST.
Many of Those Living in the Creek
Nation Are Well-to-Do.

1t is not in the South that the richest
negroes are found although many In
that region have amassed a goOdly
store of property since the war. Doubt
less the wealthiest community of col
ored people in the world is found
among the Creek Indians in Indian ter
ritory. There are about 1000 of them,
and they are worth on an average of
SO, 900 each. The wealth of the more
Industrious foots up even higher, GER
tain individuals being the owners of
from $4,000 to 900 worth of land
each. A N sl r
These negroes are the descendants
of slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians
and are known as Creek negroes. They
are entitled to share in the division
of Creek Indian lands; also a part of
the trust funds. Together the 1000 ne
groes own 90 ,000, 900 acres of land. And
yet their education is far from COM
plete. Their social environments are
crude in the extreme and progress goes
slowly amid their huts and fields.
Unlike the other Indians of the rich
five civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted
upon freeing their slaves to give them
/ an equal share in their lands and mon
ey. At that time there were few slaves,
but the number grew through descend
ants, until now fully 1000 have laid
successful claim to a head right" on
the Creek rolls of citizenship. They
have their own representatives in the
Creek Indian Legislature. their own
schools and their own churches. Ev-
erything bids fair to make them a mod
ell community of negroes in the U1ited
States when Indian territory is racov-
cred from the tange wilderness cf re-
construction, its laws made urSform
and itself state OF the Union.

CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON
Letter From the Executive Officer of Oregon

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and Recommendation testifying to the
merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hum
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the reacher-all agree that Peru ma is
the catarrh remedy of the age The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is welI-nigh universal almost ON
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
Lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh on. of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great REM
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

Tho Pe-ru-na Medicine Co, Columbus, O..
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family

to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, w. NJ. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason for
this is, most other ailments begin with q
cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly euro
colds, he protects his family against 9TH

other family in the United States should
do. Keep Peru-na in the house. Use it
for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other

will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide themselves

MRS. HARRIET WEBER WORST
ED ON HER APPEAL FROM
THE PROBATE COURT
WIDOW OF w. w. WEBER
A LITIGANT AT EIGHTY
She Appeals to District Court From
Judge Bazille's Order Denying Her
Motion for Monthly Allowance of
$500 Pending Settlement of the Es-
tate-More Motions in Prospect.

Judge Otis in the district court yes
terday passed upon another of the
many controversies growing out of the
Weber family quarrel. 1t was the ap-
peal of Mrs. Harriet Weber from Pro-
bate Judge Bazille'S decision vacating
his own former order allowing Mrs.
Weber 500 per month out of the es-
tate of her late husband, William w.
Weber. The court sustained the pro-
bate court and dismissed the appeal.
When William w. Weber died leav-
ing a large estate and appointing his
son, William w. Weber, Jr., his sole
legatee and executor, he doubtless did
not anticipate that his second wife
would quarrel with her stepson over
the estate left in his hands. II he had
he would perhaps have selected anoth-
er executor or made definite provision
for the support of the widow, woman
now past her eightieth year, but still
full of fight.
Widow Busy in Court.
AS it was, the widow was left de-
pendent upon such provision as the
probate court would make out of her
dover interest till the estate could be
settled up, and this dependence has re-
suited in constant chickering's between
the widow, the court and the executor.
The probate judge year ago granted
Mrs. Weber an order directing the eX-
ecutor to pay her 500 each month for
her support. A few months later she
presented a petition setting forth that
her stepson was paying her only $50
a month and pocketing the remaining
SOS. This looked bad for the young
man, but on his showing that the di-
vision was a matter of contract be-
tween the widow and himself, she hav-
ing agreed that he should keep the $65
each month for his services and ex-
penses as executor, Judge BaZil1e de-
MED Mrs. Webber's demand that she
receive the whole of the monthly 500.
From this decision she appealed to the
district court, where the probate judge
was sustained some weeks ago.
Mrs. Weber Appeals Again.
Before this appeal had been decided
Judge Bazille had revoked the order
for the monthly allowance. This was
done on the executors showing that he
had paid the widow lump sum for her
sustenance. But no sooner was the
judges new order entered than Mrs.
Weber took a second appeal to the re-
viewing court, and this was the side
of the case that Judge Otis yesterday
looked into and on which he ruled in
support of the probate court.
1t was stated yesterday by counsel
that Mrs. Webber's armory of motions
and appeals is by no means empty,
but that she has good store of other
proceedings in reserve with which she
will, from time to time, lombard her
'unappreciat1ve stepson and the unsen-
timental probate judge.

Out in Wood Lake, Neb., Mrs. Paul
kennicott lives on ranch; she has to
send in to Omaha for most of the
necessities of life and got her first
supply Of Postum in that way.
She writes that for nearly year she
and many who stopped with her, as
they frequently do on the ranch, could
not tell it from the best brand Of cof-
fee. We quote portion of her letter
as her reason for using Postum ex-
cIusively in the household.
She says: "I know it has had ben
ef!cial effect on my family, I hear very
little complaint of dull headache as
used to when we drank coffee; as for
myself, l was so troubled with palpi-
tatien and aching of my heart that
consulted a physician and was told
that I had serious heart trouble which
would necessitate my giving up every
thing but the lightest housework. But
now, after a busy summers work, do
ing the cookin; for my family, which
with the hired help numbers eight and
ten persons, 1 can say that I have had
no trouble with my heart and my gen.
erai health is excellent.
II wish all coffee drinkers could re-
alize how they are undermining their
health by its use and would change to
that best of al. drinks, Postum Coffee.
l wish to add that we use package of
Grape Nuts a day, which will attest
the favor in which the food as well as
tic coffee is held by my family"

Ritual Forms for Marriage, Burial and
Other Ceremonies.
BOSTON, Mass, Oct 24.-Many mat
tiers of general interest were under con-
Sideration by the National SpiritualiStS'
convention today. A set of resolutions
engaged attention at first, embodying the
views of spiritualistS on current events
or movements One Of the parag graphs
which aroused discussion was that depre-
eating the use of tobacco and liquors. The
para graph was adopted, as was one rec
ommending the employment for yearly
gements of lecturers and teachers
who have proved themselves competent.
This is in line with what is a relatively
torateS.
The president was authorized to APP
point a committee to be charged with the
duty of compiling ritual forms to be used
under spiritualistic auspices. Debate en-
sued over a report of the committee on
history and education, the two points of
importance being provision for the COM
pilation of a history. Of spiritualism by
