NEW MEXICO KNOCKS.
Prominent Citizens from the Territory
Want 1t Admitted to the Union
Of States.


Washington, Jan. 1S.--At specia
meeting Of the house committee on
territories yesterday hearing was
given Il committee of prominent non
partisan citizens of New Mexico ap'
pointed by the governor of the ter
ritory to appear in behalf of state
hood. B. s. Ilodey, territorial dele
gate, made the opening argument
lie said that New Mexico had been
asking admission to the union OF
states for many years and several
times had secured favorable action
by one or the other house. The ter
ritory had a present population OF
100000, as shown by the annual re-
port Of the governor and the regis
tration OF 10000 voters and had great
mineral, agricultural, stock raising
and other resources. Asked IT Presi-
dent Roosevelt favored admission, he
said the delegation had three letters
from him stating he would do all he
could to secure statehood for New
Mexico.
Gil. Gldersleeve argued that state
hood would cause rapid develop
ment of the territory's irrigation,
railroad and other enterprises and
thus add to It's population and re-
sources. Several others also made
addresses.

ATTACKED BY WOLVES.
4 Farmer Near Il Crosse, Wis.,, Has Hi
Flesh Torn from His Body 10
Many Places.

St. Paul, MIMI, Jan. 1s.-A special
to the Pioneer Press from La Crosse,
Wis, says: After desperate strug-
gle with a pack Of wolves. Olaf Hales-
rud, a well known farmer residing
about ten miles north of here, lies in
critical condition with the flesh
literally torn from his body in many
places. Physicians say he cannot
live.
Thursday night Halesrud was awak-
ened by a disturbance among the
animals in his barnyard. On going
out he was surrounded by pack Of
wolves. He attempted to regain his
house before escape was entirely cut
of, but before he had gone 20 feet
the wolves were swapping and snarl-
ing at his heels. The farmer attempt
ed to defend himself with club,
which he had snatched up, but sew
eral times he was forced to the
ground with the wolves upon him.
Each time, however, he managed to
fight them off until he regained his
feet. Fighting his way inch by inch,
he finally succeeded in reaching the
door of his dwelling and half faint
ing, he staggered in and drew the
bolt. Wolves have been so numer-
Gus and their work so destructive In
this vicinity Of late that an organ
lied effort Is being made to hunt
them down.

London, Jan. 1s.-The Amsterdam

it is definitely known that the recent
visit to London of the Dutch premier,
DR.. Kuyper, resulted directly from
Mr. Kruger and the Boer delegates
having been persuaded officially to
waive their claim for independence,
pending approval by the Beers, who
are still fighting. A prominent gath
ering of Beers has been arranged for
to-day at The Hague at which it may
be decided to make tentative over
lures for peace.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
St. Louis Exposition Announced fol
1908 Will Not Be Postponed.
The STATEMENT OF Ey.COy. FRANCIS


Washington, Jan. 1s.-Ex-Gov.
Francis last night, in response to
request from the Associated press,
made the following statement regard
ing reports that the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition would be postponed
from 1908 to 1904:
II was much surprised to learn
that statement had been printed
to the effect that | had virtually ad-
mitted that the fair would be post
poned from 1908 to 1904. have never
advocated nor contemplated such ac-
ton. On behalf of the local COM
pany desire to say that 1t can be
ready for the exposition in 1908 and
will be ready. When some newspa-
per men asked me yesterday il the
fair would be postponed and ! made
a negative reply was asked II we
could not prepare a better fair IN
1904 than in 1903. replied yes, and
so can we prepare better fair for
2004 than for 1904 | cannot say why
this statement should be construed
as an admission that the Louisiana
Purchase exposition would be post
poned from the date fixed by congress
and announced by the president in
his proclamation inviting foreign
countries to- participate. Some OF
the European governments have sent
replies declining and one object OF
my visit to Washington is to ask the
state department and the adminlstra-
ton to bring additional pressure up
on such governments to reconsider
their conclusion. II, however, they
refuse to do so, it would not mean
that St. Louis would not have exhib-
It's from those countries, as our COM
missioners would make appeals to
manufacturers and other exhibitors
therein. One or more Of the foreign
countries have given as reasons for
their declination that they have not
time in which to prepare. Whether
the governments 50 declining would
participate in the event of post
poncment has not been asccrtained.
| am still in conference with the
state department and trust that with
in the next few days some plan will
be evolved whereby foreign govern
ments that have declined can be in
duced to reconsider. IT, continued
Gov. Francis, "the state department
or the administration or congress
should desire this fair postponed in
order to give foreign governments a
longer time in which to prepare |
have no doubt the local corporation
would readily accede to such wishes
$40 you expect that such a con
tingency will arse?" the governor
was asked
"No, ! do not expect it, but firmly
believe that everything will be in
readiness and the fair will open on
time"

been collecting and shipping cloth
ing, food and other things to the Boer

towels, handkerchiefs, underclothing,
suspenders and soap, needles, thread,
buttons and knives are badly needed.

UNoCCUplED WESTERN LANDS.
Farmers Opposed to Granting Leases to
Cattlrmen, AZ Homesteaders Wonld
he shut Out.

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 1S.-Thousands
of western Kansas farmers and real
estate agents have signed petitions
demanding that congress defeat Con-
gresham Bowersock's bill giving the
government the right to lease its un-
occupied lands in the west. Every
mail carries great numbers of these
protests to Washington. The bill
fixes the rental at three cents per
acre. The farmers are fighting this
bill because it will enable cattlemen
to flock in and take longtime leases
on the land, thus practically shut
ting out the homesteadcr, for he
would have to buy subject to the
lease.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
State Capitol and Other Buildings
Destroyed 10 Chilpaucinea
an IMMENSE LoSSOF LIFE REPORTED


Mexico City, Jan. 1S.-One of the
most terrible catastrophes in the
history Of the state of Guerrero Is
reported to have occurred late Thurs
day afternoon, when an extremely
violent earthquake shock was felt at
Chilpancingo, causing great loss OF
life and injuring many persons. De-
tails from the stricken district are
very meager, but scattering reports
received here Indicate that probably
300 persons were killed and as many
more injured. 1t is known that the
state capitol, the parish church and
many business houses and residences
are in ruins and that there is much
suffering as result of the awful
seismic disturbance. One OF the edi-
fees that suffered most was the fed
eral telegraph office, which explains
the paucity Of news that has so far
reached this city. The telegraph
lines and apparatus at Chilpancingo
were badly damaged, but the EN-
ployes, all of whom were uninjured,
quickly proceeded to erect an impro-
vised telegraph office on the outskirts
of the city.
The number of deaths was greater
in the parish church than in any sin
gle place, as a crowd Of worshipers
was gathered there for the afternoon
service. The solid masonry walls and
the roof came topping on the wor-
shippers and many of those within
were killed..
The war department has ordered
troops in the neighborhood to CO.
operate in the work of rescue. Until
this work is completed it will be i'm
possible to accurately learn the num-
Der of victims. The greater part OF
the population Of Chilpancingo are
now camping out under tents around
the town, which is five days journey
from the national capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt in
many other cities and towns In
Mexico City the earthquake occurred
at SIT o'clock Thursday afternoon
and was of such violence as to shake
the most substantial buildings. The
Pan-American congress was in SEES
sion at the time and many Of the
delegates were greatly alarmed.
Reports received here state that
The shock was very severe at Chilapa.
No casualties are so far reported
from there.
The duration of the Chilpancingo
shock was less than that in Mexico
City, having lasted 50 seconds against
IS seconds at the capital.
The earthquake was also intense at
Iguala, in the state Of Guerrero, de-
stroying the parish church and many
buildings. Among the latter was the
sugar mill of Gen. Frisbie, an Ameri.
can. The mill had just been COM
pleted and fitted up with American
machinery Mt a cost of 100000. The
property loss is immense throughout
the state of Guerrero.

"We wish that every farm in Maine

Journal. ''This is not a mere matter Of
sentiment, by any means, but it is
strictly business.
1.-THE man whose farm is known by
some name Is certain to take a greater
interest In its products and to conduct
all of his operations on a better plan. On
every place there Is certain to be some
popularity that will suggest a name.
A spring of pure water, a grove of oak
or maple trees or something else of a
similar nature will give it a local flavor.
Then paint its name on the end Of the
barn facing the road. Let 1t be where
every passerby can see it. Your farm
will then soon become known far and
wide and will aid you in a thousand
ways.
Besides, how much more dignified 1t
is to be spoken of as the proprietor Of
Oak Grove farm than to be alluded to
as Jim Jones. By all lean name your
farms, and it will make you all better

When parchment was used for writ
ing and when bookbinding was In its
infancy and a bound book was a costly
luxury, it was tine custom to place the
book on a piece of cloth or a strip OF
wool in order to prevent the binding
from possible damage on the rough
wood of the table. Those who had to
deal with money also had a strip OF
cloth ON the table or counter so that
the coins should not roll. This strip
was called bureau"
In course of time the custom chang
ed, and the same word was applied to
the writing table covered with green
or other colored cloth and at length de-
scended to the modern table with the
center protected by leather. As an Of
fee contains one or more of these ia
bles it is not difficult to understand
that the name should, in one country,
have been given to the room that con
