FAMOUS H%ANDSHAKE.

YER PEOPLE WHY NEW MEX
lco WASN'T ADMITTED LONG
AGO.
Fatal Mistake Made BY Steve EIkins
At The Time Delegate From This
Territory.

1T is not generally known by the
younger element Of politicians and
other people who take IN interest in
such matters that New Mexico would
have been admitted to the galaxy OF
states twenty-seven years ago but FOR
a most unfortunate mistake of the
chief promoter" said DR.. G. w. Har-
rison Of Albuquerque at the Adams
last night, says the Denver Republi-
an. He is in the banking business
in that city, and regrets that efforts
ever since that fatal error was made
have proven futile and New Mexico
remains a territory.
1--WE are tired of carpet bag govern
ment." he frequently and emphatical-
" declared during the course OF an
ANALYTICAL discourse on the conditions
Of the commonwealth of his adoption
politically and industrially,
statehood would send us along the
road to progress more rapidly thar
any state in the west" he continued,
"but statehood depends on the &C
lions of people outside the territory.
"As 1 said before, It was a mos'
regretable incident in congressional
life that prevented statehood lone
ago. Possibly no more remarkable and
extraordinary occurrence has evel
been chronicled in the history OF leg
islation at Washington that, being 81
slight in itself, had SO far reaching Al
effect on any people of a given sec
ton.
"In 1876. when james G. Blaine wa
sneaker OF the lower house, Stepne'
p. Elkins. now United States senate
from West Virginia, was delegate =
congress from New Mexico. He wa

for statehood. His efforts .-ere abou

the fates decreed his defeat most IN

"Elkins at that time even was
good speaker, but he e attemp'

preparation. On the day that he blur

and the light primary receipts, there
is very little to make ~ persistent
selling pressure. 1t is quite mani
fest that the farmers over . large
part Of the winter wheat country are
not disposed to sell their wheat. A
better export demand is desirable but
with small European stocks and de-
creasing worlds shipments an i'm
proved export demand seems reasona-
BILE to expect. We think wheat
should still be bought on the weak
spots.

The Wastes Of the Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of man of average size lose
two pounds of wornout tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the
health and strength kept up without
perfect digestion. When the stomach
and digestive organs fail to perform their
functions, the strength lets down, health
gives way, and disease sets up. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and
digestive organs to digest and assimilate
all of the wholesome food that may be
eaten into the kind of blood that rebuilds
the tissues and protects the health and
strength of the mind and body. Kodol
cures Indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. 1t is an ideal spring
tonic. Sold by f.. b. Longwell. m

Deer Are Plenty.

Five deer were recently seen quietly
feeding in Richmond pasture. Last
winter was not hard one for them
and indications are that the coming
season will be fruitful one for the
hunters, especially in Windsor and Rut-
land counties.
Partridge hunters, who have been
shooting in the mountains in the vicinity
of the Pico, Killington and Shrews-
bury mountains, say they have come
across many herds near the winter "deer
yards" and that in every instance the
number of bucks was larger than a year
ago.
About ten days ago John Morse, of
Bridgewater. while picking blackberries
near the old Bates place on Pico noun
tain, observed lame fawn and its
mother The little animal had evidently
been injured by barbed wire fence and
seemed tame, Morse worked his way
near them, lust to see how near he
could get"
The old deer observed the man sus
piciously while the fawn nestled against
her hind legs. Morse had got within ten
feet of the animals when he heard a
stamping, followed by below, back OF
a brush pile a little to his right. The
next instant a large buck, with foul
prongs on his antlers, charged upon the
man.
Morse had just time to drop his berry
pail, and gain the low branches of a
spruce tree, when the buck came up and
began tearing the bark. There the berry
picker remained for upwards of an hour
while the irate deer vented his wrath
and evinced his disappointment by
smashing the pail
