BERGER q e SUIT.

Advices from Santa Fee are to the
effect that the suits for libel against
William M. Berger. editor Of the
Capitol" which grew out of attacks
made by him in his paper upon Gov
ernor were set for today by Judge
McFie.
This libel suit business against
newspapers is a great thing for the
politicians. A libel law was placed on
the statute books some years ago in
order to muzzle the newspapers, but
thus far it has not been very efica-
cious in suppressing some newspa-
per men, few though they be.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 81. 1903.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.

The recent slanderous attack made
upon the Albuquerque JUurnalDemo-
crat by the Citizen of that place. has
called forth the publication by the
Journal Democrat of some shady
transactions in the past by the Citi-
zen. The Citizen attacked the water
company down there as a "soulless
corporation" etc. The Journal-Dem-
ocrat comes back at il with the
charge in bold black type that the
water company was compelled To pay
the Citizen $3.50 to shut of an attack
on the water company a; ine time
that DIR. Bushnell was getting his data
ON the respective advantages OF las
Vegas and Albuquerque as q military
post. As the Journal-D Democrat is
owned by practically the same In
terests 1.-THE Grant estate) as tho
water company. it ought to be in a
position to know. The article con-
cludes as follows:
"At that time the water company,
for the welfare of the city and to shut
off any further false n unfavorable
impression upon the mind of the
visiting Inspector. hushed the foui
mouth of the evening organ.
1T took one hundred and fifty dol.
lars.
"The water company is perfectly
able and willing to take care of il
self. II throws down the gauntlet to
the Honorable r. Hughes . Let him
do his worst. He can expect no more
blackmail from that source.
"And 1t is reasonably certain that
citizens can no longer be coerced into
patronizing the evening organ Of cor
rurtion by anything the slanderous
sheet may say against them should
they decline
This would seem to be a case
wncrs the Journal-Democrat is fol
lowing the advice of Ex-Presiden'
Cleveland when he first ran for pres
ident and the tongue of scandal got
started. when he said tell the truth
While the water company suffered
itself to be bribed il m%anfully comes
out and tells the truth.

hilt rOtting away from the lock. Mr..
Tierney took possession at once and
after considerable rubbing and free
use of oil was able to restore a little
of the polish to the brasses and un-
cover the stock. The stock bears the
with the red hot point of a knife or
wire and there are certain letters on
the steel of the stock that can not be
made out for rust and hicks.
The pistol has caused considerable
speculation among the friends of
the street commissioner and that gen
tleman himself has been subject to
fits of dreaming since the weapon
came into his hands. 1t seems hard
to account for the presence of the
venerable f1rearm in the sewer, for it
was manufactured and used when sew.

there was any city of Albuquerque.
At first Mr.. Tierney was inclined to
urge that the weapon belong to Cas-

other Of the ancient gentlemen who
are regarded as III own particular
demi-gods, but some OF the boys in
sisted that there was not any pistols
as his when Alvarado was waking
the echoes along the Sandals. Then
he tried to convince the boys that II
was a relic of the Mexican war and
that some daring had dropped il
in his mad flight. This wouldn't work
for there was no along these
| parts when the Mexican war came
off and the stree commissioner got
tired and concluded that some youth
had been rummaging among the fam.
lily treasurers in some old petaca and
had swiped the pistol and shortly
thereafter dropped it in the sewer
Whether it was an accident o. not
the spectators do not attempt to
say, and If not an accident they do
not care to go into the reasons for
dropping it into the eve And, a.
ter all, the old pistol is an interesting
relic even though the history is miss
ing. In this land Of curio stories ii
will not take long to supply the gun
with enough tradition to make the
rust look romantic.
And there is one more theory.
There was also found a rusty bayo,
net, and it may be possible that the
sewer has Gu through the last resting
place Of some soldier of the union.

cENTRAL's CROPS ARE GOOD.
Small Grain and Corn Along the Iowa
Line Promises Heavy Yield.

From all indications crops along the
entire line of the Iowa Central are go,
ing to be most satisfactory in yield
and all that is now required is the
right kind of weather. A representa-.
tive of the general freight department
of the road, who has been over the
line taking observations, says the
prospects couldn't be better at most
points.
Be tween Marshalltown and Hamp,
ton oats are going at be a good aver,
age crop, and the corn will reach sew
enty-t1ve per cent of an average crop,
and perhaps better with favorable
weather conditions. North and west
of Hampton, along the Algona branch
the prospects are not so bright, and
the present indications do not point to
over fifty per cent yield This Is
along the low country that was over
flowed by the high water and was un,
der water for a longer period than
much of the other territory. There
are some very good stands of corr
near Belmond, but great many viii
produce nothing much better than fod
der unless there is a late fall. Oats
all long the line north are not so ranl
as usual, and heading out nicely, with
the chances for Judgment less THAI
last season. Taken all around the
crops are going TO be much better
than last year. Everything south o.
Marshalltown, in Iowa, promises 9
good average crop, and the conditions
are the same east, clear to the river
If the crops Of the state are as promis
ing as they are along the line Of the
Central, there will be no need of wor
rying over the lack Of good times
next fall.
