4 PROSPEROUS NEWSPAPER.


 The Albuquerque Citizen has re- gently made an important change in its make up. It has formerly ap- peared as four page paper of nine columns to the page, while it now ap- pears with eight pages of six col umns to the page. Its advertising columns ars we'll filled with coin pro ducing advertising, while its news columns are equally we'll filled with subscriber begetting news. Thomas Hughes, the senior member of the firm which owns the Citizen, is a vet eran newspaper man, the editor of the Journsl-Miner having been honored with his acquaintance since the early seventies, when the former was editor and proprietor of the Marysville, Kan sas, News, and the latter was the owner of the Washington, Kansas, Republican. Mir. Hughes then was a successful newspaper editor and pub fisher, and success has attended him during all the succeeding years. His business associate at present, W. T. McCreight is also an up-to- date newspaper man and the two form the strongest team in the busi- ness in the southwest.

The advertisements which appear in the Citizen speak louder than any words of praise of the enter prise of the business men of Albu- querque. The Journal-Miner con- graduates the proprietors of the Citi- zen on their prosperity.

 An entire family at Bellevelle, N. Y, owes its life to the sagacity of two dogs. The dogs were outside the house and, noticing smoke issuing from the kitchen, they parked until they raised the master of the house and refused to be quiet at his com mand, barking until he had investi- gated and discovered the fire.
 During the recent illness of Sena- tor Quay the the Kickapoo Indians called meeting of the chiefs and medicine men were instructed to propitiste the Great Spirit in order that He might not take away Big Chief Quay" As the Senator has re- covered the medicine men will doubt less claim all the credit but, being un- civilized medicine men they will not send the senator bill:
 It is a somewhat remarkable fact that in the heart of Chicago there lives squatter, Captain Streeter by name, who defies the law and asserts that he is in a state outside of the jurisdiction of Illinois.
