that he once had them fingers in his
brain in the present tense.
1t is thought that at the time of his
separation from his wife he must have
been affected deeply, and that before
the injury which deprived him of his
mind occurred, he had dwelt much in
thought with the family he once had
and that this one fact became more
strongly conferred in his brain than any
other, and that for this reason he re-
tains it when all other thoughts have
fed.
This one thing may make the rest Of
his life easier for, with no friends, no
home and no money, It IS probable that
unless he RECEIVERS his mind the renaain-
der of his term OF existence will be
spent behind the walls of an insane
asylum. The attending physician does
not wish TO send him to such an insti-
tuition, because he thinks that if a
enanee exists for recovery it will be
forever removed by association with
other insane persons.

DELEGATE RODEY PLEADS FOR FAIR
PLAY ON THE STATEHOOD QUESTION

Washington, Dec. 19.-Delegate Rodey
of New Mexico today published an ap-
peal directed to the editors and press
Of the country, asking for their aid
and for fair treatment of the territories
that are fighting for admission to the
Unions against the powerful sectional
and other interests that, he says, are
trying to keep them out. He says there
prevails everywhere a great lack of in
formation. He contends that the cen
sus is incorrect as to the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona; that Arizona
has not less than 175,000 people in the
nation, and there is not to exceed or
per cent of illiteracy in the popula-
ton of the territory; that it is the
richest mineral section of the United
States, and that it has absolute and
prospective irrigation projects and pos
sibilities that would make it rank as
one of the most prosperous of the
states. He declares that the Mormon
question is of so little account there
that it could not figure in the territory
affairs.
As to New Mexico, Mr. Rodey con-
tends that it has not less than 800, 600
inhabitants. of whom three-hfths are

INCREASED WAGES.
Northwestern Provides For Engineers
and Fireman

Chicago. Dec: 19.-Inereases in wages
amounting to 100000 Il year are to be
granted to the 5000 locomotive engineers
and firemen employed by the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad and its branch
lines through an agreement reached today
between officials OF the railroad and com
nittees representing the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen. The new
scale will go into effect Jan 1. It pro-
vIdes for increases OF approximately 8
per cent in the pay Of the members OF
the labor organizations. The engineers
will receive from So so to 81 10 for each run
of 100 miles. They are now paid from
$3.50 TO 1870.
The high rate is paid to the men who
run the larger and newer engines. The
advances made to the firemen are not as
large proportiOnately as those obtained by
the engineers. The company has agreed
however TO excuse the men from the
work of cleaning portions of freight
engines, and this concession is regarded
as important as the increases in wages.
Under the new scale the firemen are TO
receive 81 % to S2.75 for each run of 100
