A BRIGHT YOUNG NAN.
Fine Showing Made BY District Supe-
rintsRdsht for This District Of
New hsxieO for Mutual Life In
suFance Company Of New York.

suRanee company OF new tOrh'
The July number of the statement,
published by the Mutual Life Insurance
company Of New York, gives a large
amount Of space to a descriptive write
up Of the territory Of New Mexico. In
connection with this is a fine picture
of j. /. Cox Of this place, superintend-
ent for southern and western New Mex
leo, and by far the youngest man in
such position any where in the west.
Mr. Cox is native Of the state of
Ohio where he receivsd his education
and early business training, but has
been in the west since 1893. His first
work in this territory was in the north
ern counties as a solicitor and his sue
cess in this line soon led to his promo
tion to the position he now holds, which
is one Of the best in the territory. His
district is a very large one covering all
the territory west and and south from
Albuquerque and giving control of
fourteen agencies and several field men
or solicitors. Mr.. Cox is an active
earnest business man who believes
that minute idle is a minute lost so
he is never idle. In addition to the
large amont Of labor and travel requir-
ed by his Office, he has visited every
part Of the county, and It it safe to say
there is not man in the county who
he has not made the acquaintance
of, since he came here last March, and,
having made their acquaintance he
has made them his friend, thus insuring
the permanent success of the COM
pany's work in this region. In conclu-
sion we viii say that Mr.. Cox is as 10y
al as a ltive born son, TO the in eiests
of this county and never misses an OPP
portunity to advertise her resources.

CITY HALL
Fine New Building Neatly COmpIet-
ed and Judge Pennington and
Librarian Minnie heGlsnChy In
their New Quarters.

The work on the City Hall has been
pushed by the contractors as fast as
first class work would allow and
now the upper part of tue building is
practically completed. Miss Minnie
McGlenchy, who has been appointed
librarian and Judge Pennington moved
into the comfortable rooms provided
for library and police court last week.
The material and workmanship used in
constructing this building are Of the
best and It Is credit, alike to the
contractors Barney Martin and Rosh
and Leopold and to the town. The
finishing of the lower part of the lower
part Of the building will take some
time yet and when completed will form
beautiful and convenient home for
our model volunteer fire department.
In connection with the fitting up of
the building credit must be given to

proved to be a regular bed of fossils of prehis-
toric turtles. There were turtles of all sizes,
these reptiles now is one Of the best extant.

the searchers were rewarded for their labors by
finding skeletons of a number of small rodents,

these animals and their present day descendants
chief points Of difference are that the back legs
OF the ancestral rabbit were somewhat shorter
than those Of the modern rabbit, and the beaver
was much smaller than the beaver Of to-day.
As near as can be ascertained the beavers an

Game to, be April 10th.

The frantic way in which the Stricken
nine is deporting itself in the way OF
practice for the coming game is de-
monstration in itself that they are scared,
and it is common talk that they can pet
no one to take their money at any odds,
those Who are in the habit Of putting up
money on games. There is one thing
certain and that is that the Ottemeyer
nine has q pitcher that is lncorruptable
and cannot be bought up. This lis not
an insinuation that the others would stoop
to such methods, but there is no telling
with the combination of material tina,
they have in that block what will be
produced. The game promises to be q
good one, and because the nine were out
and played with the boys at the public
school and beat the li:tle fellows by an
inning or two they are telling around

Had Bullet in His Leg.

DIR. j. Z. Schoch performed cur
ions operation upon an 911-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Lang
last week. The boy was taken to DR..
Schoch's Office to be treated for a
trivial ailment but once there his par
ents decided to have a strange growth
upon his right knee removed. The
physician acceded to their wishes but
as he drew his lancet across the growth
a 32-ealibre bullet dropped from it.
The boy disclaims any knowledge OF
when he was shot but it is believed
that the wound was inflicted over q
year ago. At that time his mother
noticed hurt upon his leg. It was
about four inches above the joint but
the supposition is that the ball worked
downward and finally became embed
ded in the flesh upon the knee.

HAUNTED BY BUCABOO.
Aldermen Side-step Everything Savor-
Ing of Interest Direct or Indirect, - /.
Wish to Avoid Trouble and Promise One
Another TO be Good.
Citizens Bank Turned Down Because
Mayor Is Among Stockholders.

There are to be no repetions Of the
Nagel affair. New Ulm's aldermen are
haunted with afear of the Vogel bug
aboo and at their meeting last night
exhibited a disposition to walk in the
straight and narrow path, shying at
everything with which a city official
could in any way be connected.
Several different times the delicate
matter came up, the first when it was
reported that Aid. N agel had refused
to send his teams to fires with hose
wagon No. g.. Clerk Schilling ex-
planned that Mayor Weschcke had is
sued a fiat to the effect that he would
sign no orders made payable to city
officers and Herman Nagel stated that
he did not purpose working his horses
for glory. The department was in a
dilemma but in the face Of a facetious
motion that Second Assistant Chief
Vogel be required to furnish team
the matter was referred to the fire COM
mittee.
Immediately afterward the bids for
city depository were opened Last
year per cent interest was paid upon
city funds but this time the compe-
tition was keen, the State and Brown
County banks offering 3 per cent and
the Citizens bank 81. When, however,
AID. Amann made motion to select
the last named, Clerk Schilling had an
objection. He called attention to the
fact that Mayor Weschcke was a
stakeholder in the institution and
therefore an interested party, making
it impossible to sign the warrants.
On the strength of this all bids were
rejected. Il
Later Aid. Nagel declined to pay any
more freight bills or do draying. This
phase of the municipal business sys-.
TEN was given in charge of the water
works committee and the aldermen did
not lose the opportunity of explaining
upon the deplorable practice. Clerk
Schilling averred that the aldermen
had been breaking the law for Is or
20 years but now that their attention
had been called to the fact they would
endeavor to be good.
Considerable other business was
transacted, the council resembling the
resolution providing for a park board
and tabling the project and also put
ting quietus upon an additional po-
liceman. The financial statement Of
the city was read and Chief Engel's
request for a hook and ladder truck
referred to the fire committee. It was
voted to change the ordinance relating
to charges for water rent and the
lighting committee was instructed to
put lamps in German park.
Bid of .Huevelmann to sprinkle
the streets for S65 per month was ac-
opted and Jos. Kunz named as park
policeman at $50 per month. No bids
were received for grading Washington
street. and it was voted to readvertise,
giving contractors two years time.
Bids for grading German street were
laid over until April 18th.

AGREEMENT FOR NAVAL STATION Roosevelt Signs Paper Under Terms of PIatt Amendment DOCUMENT NOT A TREATY Guantanamo Is Selected as the Naval Station, While Bahia Honda, In
 Cuba, Will Be New
 CoaIing Station.
DOCUMENT NOT A TREATY

Washington, February 24-President Roosevelt has signed the agreement drawn under the terms of the Platt amendment providing for the acquisition by the United States of a naval station at Guantanamo and a coaling station at Bahia Honda both in Cuba. The document had been previously signed by President Palma and was brought to Washington by Minister Squiers. It does not specify the price of the properties, this detail being left to the usual legal condemnatory proceedings after the navy department has decided exactly the amount of land it wishes ,-c each place. With these two plac6s properly fortified as naval bases, the Gulf of Me xico would not be possible of occupation by a hostile feet and the Carribean sea would be un- safe for an enemy
 As the names of the places indicate. Guantanamo, a naval station, will be the more important of the two bases ana within a short time there will be erected extensive coal docks and perhaps a short line of railroad connecting the port with the railroad finished by private enter prise. Bahia Honda will for some time be used simply as a place Tor the storage ot coal.
 MT. Squiers left Washington for New York tonight and expects to sail for Ha- Vana tomorrow. He has cleared up the charges coniided to him with the single exception of the settlement of the pos session of the Isle Of Pines, and this can not be arranged here. The indications are now that the United States government will not press strongly in this matter al- though there are important American in- terests clamorng for termination of the present unsatisfactory conditions in the islands. The reasons for the indifference are the unayailab!lity of the island as naval base owing to shallow water and the strong sentimental attachment of the Cubans for the place, which would cause feeling of resentment towards the United States in the event the isle was taken away.
 The document is not treaty. but is rather in the nature of an agreement un- der the terms of the Platt amendment. Therefore, it will not be necessary to sub init 1t to the United States senate. Pres ident Palma, however, following his us- ual methods in dealing w;tn ms new con gress, deems it eXpedient to submit the agreement to the Cuban senate for ith approval, but there seems to be little doubt that such approval Is already as- sured. In fact it is said that had the United States so desired 1t might have included the plendid Bay of Nipe on the northeast side, in it's list of accessions as a coal station.
