A Wonderful Bird.

2. NJ. Baker, who formerly lived
here told remarkable stories about
things in general. and nothing much
about things in particular. except
that once upon a time he saw a half
guinea and half chicken in Oklaho-
ma. His friends hurrahed him to a fin
ish and made life miserable for Ba-
his friends thought he was lying. Ba-
ker told them when he left here a
few weeks ago that he would show
them and intended To prove that he
was telling tfs simon pure truth. Ac-
cordingly he sent the famous bird
from Alva, Oklahoma. and il arrived
here this morning and is on exhibi.
tion at the Mechanics saloon at
Hardwickes old stand on the corner.
1t has feet like a guinea talks like
guinea and looks like a cross be
tween a guinea. rooster and hen.
In any event it is a most wonderful
bird and all should see 1t. 1t was sent
to NJ. ID. Carlton and will be kept In
the city for several days. f. F. Ep-
penheimer was one of the most siren
nous hurrahers when Baker was here.
and he concluded his letter by say
ing. BE sure that old Ed sees the
bird" Ep is now of the opinion that
Baker never told ANYTHING but the
truth in his life. even when Il was
cheaper to tell something else.

NEWSPAPERS FIRST.
Occupy the Most Prominent Place in
Modern Advertising.

tW00GiH N6NSI@i@tsi5s
Few people have any idea of the
power welded by advertising at the
present day, and fewer still are ac-
quainted with the modern tendencies
that guide the expenditure of this
power. A conservative and we'll quail
fed estimate places the total annual
outlay for advertising in the United
States alone at $500, 100000, and of
this enormous sum no less than 70
per cent is in payment for sneoe in
newspapers, magazines and trade
Journals In other words, we spend
as much on advertising as Russia,
Germany, France, Austria Hungary
and Spain spend on their armies ev-
cry year Huge as the expenditure is
it is not in undue proportion to the
value of business done. being lit

so spent.
The newspapers occupy the most
prominent position in the advertising
arena. Their phenomenal growth
from 1926 modest specimens in 1850
to round $4,000 at the present time
does not, however. give any idea OF
the growth of advertising they con-
tain. The number of copies annually

we need not consider the few hund.

! Five plates of very large Maiden
Blush and Mammoth Pippin are
shown ripe, and grown this year
These apples were grown from the
large orchard of J. ]. Hagerman near
Roswell. and shipped June 10th. 1904.
There are no other apples grown this
year nearly SO large in the other ex-
hibits. One hundred and forty-four
plates of cold storage apples are on
exhibition. embracing the well known
varieties of Mammoth, Black Twig,
Genatin, Wine Sap, Missouri Pippin,
Gano, Arkansas Black. Shockley,
Sheackelford, York Imperial. Ben Da-
Wis and others.
A unique attraction of the exhibit
has been a stand in the center of
the display containing apples grown
this year, on display every day of
the Exposition On the opening day,
April 30th, large jar filed with diff
ferent varle,.es of apples showing
their size at that date was on exhi,
bition, and shipments have been re-
ceived every ten days demonstrating
their fast growth, until today two of
the varieties are ripe. This display
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, not only of sight-seers, but also
of the judges.
Peaches, pears and plums from the
Pecos Valley are now coming III, and
are superior to any yet on exhibition.
In the agricultural display New
Mexien's exhibit is also different from
the others. as there are in it many
products that have been crown this
year quantity of alfalfa over 3e
inches high from the second cutting
of this year, having been cut on May
20, 1904; Indian corn that can com
pare favorably with any of the great
corn growing states; oats, 20 inches
high, harvested May "a. 1904; 48 va
rieties of wheat and oats: big pile
Of Irish potatoes, planted March 18th
and dug June 3rd, producing three
fourths OF a ton per acre; and fine
display of honey in the comb, also
strained and candied honey. Among
vegetables are exhibited beets, on
ions. tomatoes, etc.
Several large signs calling atten-
ton to the great irrigated country OF
New Mexico are conspicuously plac-
ed. The farmers of the east seem to
be very much interested in the sue
cess of irrigation.
A good display of Canaigre roots
is made, showing that large am
cunt, over 10000 acres of this pro-
duct is grown in New Mexico, which
is SO extensively used and Is worth
about $50 per ton.
A great many other products are
in the exhibit which add to the ap-

Popular jubiIation over the report
ed great defeat of the Japanese be
fore Port Arthur is being chilled by
the failure to clear up the source of
the reports or to obtain confirmation
of them. Under yesterdays date
correspondent of the Associated Press
with the Russian headquarters at
lao Yang announces the reception
there of the news of the brilliant re-
pulse OF the Japanese attack upon
Port Arthur with loss of thirty thou
sand men. The report adds that the
Russian losses were 1900.
st. Petersburg Q:55 p. M July a.
The General staff although it has
no further news up TO the present
hour of the reported Japanese disas-
ter at Port Arthur, maintains that
there is no reason to doubt that the
pulse, pointing out the absence of a
denial from Toxic as significant. The
experts say that the Japanese have
hoped to take the fortress by sur
prise without bombardment. Some of
the forts at Port Arthur are preceded
by bitches four and five fathoms deep
hewn out of the solid rock. Whole re-
yiments could easily be engulfed in
these. Rumors that Port Arthur has
fallen cause only smiles from the
Russian officers. 1t is probable that
lighting is in progress at Ia Tche
Kiao, advices showing that the Jap
anese are within a few miles of that
place coming up in two columns from
the south. The extent of the Russian
resistance will probably be determin
ed by the character of General Kuro

GOOD SHOWING
Made IN Financial Statement of
Worlds Fair.

The first official and authentic
figures of the receipts and expendi-
lures of the Worlds Fair for the
FIRST four months of the Fair peri.
od-May, June, July and August
have been received from Washing
ton. The figures are those embed.
led in reports from the officials of
the Exposition. The summaries
show that the total receipts of the
Exposition for the first four months
amounted to $20,665, 020; the dis
bursements for the same period $780,
AT ,065, leaving a balance on hand
September l of $185,955. During
that period the revenue from the
sale of admission tickets amounted
to 81, 674,0 COS, and the percentage
income from the concessions
amounted to 81, 3l6, $40.
Receipts from the Intramural
Railroad for the four months
amounted to $171,22l. When the
Fair opened on April 30, the bal
ance in the treasury amounted to
81, 451, 276.
AS September had the largest
month OF the attendance since the
opening, and October bids fair to
exceed that of September, it is es-
tlmated that the latter figures now
beng compiled will reveal a very
prosperous condition of the Exposi-
ton.
