Shows at the Fair.

Instead of touring through New
Mexico, stopping in various towns
as originally intended, the
celebrated Gentry Dog and Pony
Show has signed with the Fair
Association to give daily perfor-
mances i'll Albuquerque during
the six days of October lois.
This will be good news To the
many people who contemplate
visiting Albuquerque during Fair
time, as of course there will be
many people who would like to
take in the show and yet would
not have the opportunity in their
own town. The Dog and Pony
Circus this year comprises the
best aggregation of trained
animals in the United States and
they also have with them a
special monkey circus which is
said to be the finest thing ever
shown to the American public.

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Special to the chieftain.

Special 10 the Chieftain:
Kansas City, Monday, Sept. %.
1904. Cattle receipts last week
dropped off toward the end of the
week, account of lower market
for killing cattle, particularly
beef steers, and the total for the
week was $4,000 head, as compar-
ed with $1,000 head previous
week. Packers claimed they had
paid too much for beef steers the
week before as compared with
prices at other points, and theire
forts were toward a readjustment.
However, the Western and Colo
RADIO cattle sold mostly within 10
or Is cents of the previous weeks
prices. Receipts of Westerns
embraced nearly all grades and
qualities, and sales of steers
ranged from -. 90 for Old Mexicos
to S3.S5 for a large shipment of
Green River Cattle Company'S
steers. Some muley black light
steers also brought S3.S5 and
other sales of mountain steers
were at S3.35 to S3.75. A few
cows sold at $500 but most sales
of Colorados were at 50. 40 To
$500, $50 lbs. to 500 lbs.
Western slope steers sold at S3.l5
to S3.35, sales of Panhandles came
within these figures. Supply to-
day is 21,000 head, and general
market steady, beef steers and
good quality stock and feeding
cattle shade higher, cows weak
in some cases. Demand for
stockers and feeders is better just
now than at any time this season,
and movement to the country last
week was largest this season, at
30, 200 head, Kansas, which has
heretofore been laying back on
the feeder proposition, is now
coming to the front, and Illinois
and Missouri buyers show no
dimiuution in their desire for this
class of cattle.
Sheep runs have been liberal
and prices are a little lower than
a week ago. Killing and feeding
sheep do not show any great
change, but lambs are Is to 25
cents lower. Killing lambs sell
at S4.25 to S5.25 for natives, with
choice western at $500 or little
more, wethers at S3.25 to $500,
and yearling up to S3.S5, fat
ewes $500 to $3.50. Stock ewes
bring $3.50 to $500, feeding
wethers and yearlings S3.25 to
S3.65, breeding ewes around S3.-
so. Receipts today are 10000
head, largest of the season,
market steady. Utah lambs sold
at S5.15 today, and Westerns
ewes at $3.50.

The Great Industrial Parade.

An idea of the magnitude of
the list of attractions at the terri
torial fair which opens in Albu-
querque October 10th can be
gathered from the advance guard
formation of the great industrial
parade which takes place on
Thursday, Albuquerque day, at
the fair. In this advance guard
will be two troops of United States
cavalry, one hundred Navajo
Indians mounted on their ragged
ponies, a troop of rough riding
COW boys, the twenty wagons and
fifty trained horses of the Gentry
dog and pony show, the world
famous diving elks, all the wagons
and movable attractions of the
carnival company, and six big
brass bands. Following this
formidable array will be the
industrial parade in which busi-
ness interests in Albuquerque and
many from the outside will be
represented. 1t will be a show
worth seeing. The industrial
parade will be the great specta-
calar feature of the fair.

SLHDOqlL IS NOT FOR RODEY.
A Prominent Citizen Of That County
Says His Section is For
Andrews.

"Sandoval County will support
the regular Republican nominee
for delegate to Congress, whether
or not Mr.. Rodey runs on an
Independent ticket" said Ale
iandrO Sandoval, a member of
the Territorial Board of Equaliza-
tion, when shown a telegram
from Las Vegas. Mr.. Sandoval is
a member of the Sandoval Coun-
ty Central Committee and is in
position to known exactly what
his county will do in the forth
coming campaign.
In Albuquerque, at the Re
publican Convention" continued
Mr.. Sandoval, I'VE fought hard
to have Mr.. Rodey nominated.
The major portion of the Re
publicans did not desire Mr..
Rodey in preference to Senator
Andrews and as Sandoval COun-
ty is loyal Republican county
Mr.. ROdey cannot count on us to
support any foolish movement.
II is one thing to support
man in convention of your party
and another to assist him directly
against that party which have
twice sent him to congress.
While we would have worked
hard for Mr.. Rodey, if he had
been nominated, we will work
just as hard against him if he is
going to fight the party. We are
Republicans and believe that
Senator Andrews will do more for
the Territory under present condi-
tions than any other man now in
the field. We will vote and work
for him and if Mr.. Rodey counts
on assistance from Sandoval Coun-
ty he is very much mistaken.
You can count on Sandoval
County almost fiat for Senator
Andrews. The opposition may
secure 25 votes in Sadoval Coun-
ty, but no more. Senator An
drews will receive at least 1000
majority.
We are very we'll satisfied
with the candidate chosen by the
Albuquerque Convention. OF
course, we voted for Mr.. Rodey
and wanted to see him nominated,
but we do not believe a better
choice could have been made out
side of the man we supported in
the convention. Since Senator
Andrews was nominated we will
work just as hard for him as we
would have for Mr.. Rodey.
Senator Andrews is a good
man for the place in congress. He
is building railroads in New
Mexico and the people ought to
appreciate this. understand that
he has a great deal of influence
with congressman and senators
and now believe that the CON
vention really did the best thing
in nominating him.
"Sandoval County will give al
its votes to the regular Repub-
lican nominee and we are going
to work just as hard as if the
election was close"

NO. 7 JUMPS THE TRACK.
Spreading Rails Cause a Fast Train
to Plunge Down a Ten Foot
Embankment.
ONE TRAMP WILL TRAMP no MORE.
Many of the Passengers Are Badly
Shaken Up But Nobody Is
Seriously Hurt.

Wednesdays sOuthbOund train
reached Socorro fifteen hours late
because of its being wrecked
about three miles south of Albu-
querque.
The wreck was caused by
spreading rails. The engine left
the track. The baggage car,
express car, mail car, and sleep
ing car plunged down ten-foot
embankment, some of them roll
ing over onto their sides.
II was next to miraculous that
there were no more casualties.
A tramp who was stealing ride
was caught between two of the
cars and his body was crushed to
Jelly. A battalion of Philip
pine scouts who occupied the
sleeping car were unceremOniOuSly
bumped about, but not one of
them was seriously hurt. Mail
clerk, express agent, engineer,
and firemen had narrow escapes.
To a representative of the AL
buquerque Citizen Mail Clerk w.
l.. Wade said:
II had just begun work when
the crash came, / was starting in
to hang up the rack. When the
car began to jump / caught hold
of the rack and held on with all
my might. ] was in the letter
end of the car and to this | at
tribute my escape. After the car
had settled down / thought of
the gas, and began looking
around for a way to get out.
All the doors were locked. The
engineer knocked one open and
let me out
Express Agent M. S. Harris,
who had a bruised head and torn
ear, related his experience thus:
Il was smoking when the
crash came and my pipe was
broken short off. When the car
settled down | found myself con-
fined under a pile of baggage,
with the through 900 pound safe,
which / had just finished locking,
on top of the baggage. The
space in which was confined
was very small and / could find
no way out of it. After several
minutes some one knocked the
door open and helped me out.
My rescuer was Engineer Render.

with his engine to the last. To
a reporter he said:
THE train was carrying itself

hour, the engine running without

at a terrible rate. l showed the

GLORIOUS DAYS RAIN.
The DrOuth Of More Than Thirteen
Months Duration at SOoorro Is
at Last Broken.
1854 INCHES OF RAIN IN IS HOURS.
Streets Flooded, Adobe Houses Soak
ed, Railroads Washed Out, Trains
Delayed, Everybody Happy.

1t has rained at Socorro. Ii
has rained in earnest. This
time it was not one of those sud-
den, daShing showers that are
over in moment and leave
scarcely a trace of their coming
and going. 1t was steady
downpour. There were times, to
be sure, when the rain seemed to
come more in torrents, but at no
time for sixteen hours did the
rain cease altogether. During
those sixteen hours from one
o'clock in the morning until five
O'Clock in the afternoon of Thurs
day, September -, more rain
fell in Socorro than had fallen
here during the entire thirteen
months preceding. The rain
gauge at the School of Mines
indicated 3.Gl inches, and the
long drouth might reasonably
be said to be broken.
The effects of the storm were
marked. Even the earliest risers
found the streets flooded. Before
noon those who live in adobe
houses were experiencing the
discOmfortS resulting from leak
ing roofs and walls. One house
on Mt. Carmel avenue collapsed
entirely, but luckily nobody was
hurt. The Santa Fe railroad has
suffered severe damage. The
Rio Grande is out of its banks
and the result is several washouts
between Socorro and Engle.
Socorro has had no train and no
mail from either north or south
since Thursday morning and there
is now no prospect of either until
Monday, if then. The river
continued to rise all day yester-
day, but is reported falling
slightly today.
One gratifying feature of the
situation is found in the fact that
the dam recently constructed at
the point of the mountain to
divert the flood waters of the
arroyo from the city stood the
test perfectly, although the water
rose against it eight or ten feet.
Judging from past experiences, if
it had not been for this dam
Socorro would have suffered
severely from the effects of the
flood that would have swept
through the streets. Evidently
the money spent in building the
dam was we'll invested.
The ranges of Socorro county
will be vastly benefited by this
rainfall. Cattlemen are of the
opinion that the grass will grow
good deal yet, especially if the
frost holds off a few days This
puts a very different face on the
situation in the county. All
summer long the ranges have
been dry in many localities and
cattle and sheep have been dying
in large numbers. Stockmen were
not in comfortable frame OF
mind. Now, however, the situa-
tion is quite changed. Every
body is hopeful that stock will
pass the winter in good condition,

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pro-
nounced il local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney a. Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
10. teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case il
fails TO cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

Marine Disasters.

Captain Sumner | Kimball, an old
Maine resident, who for years has been
chief of the Life Saving Service of the
Treasury Department, has just given
out his report on disasters along the
coast of Maine and New Hampshire.
This constitutes the first life saving
district. The number of disasters in
that district during the fiscal year were
43, in only five of which was there a
total loss of vessels. The value of the
43 vessels was $13O, 1875 and the value of
their cargoes s32, 425. making the total
value of property involved $16S, $50. The
value OF the property saved from these
shipwrecks was $141,615, which made
the total property loss only $21, 535. No
lives were lost in these shipwrecks on
the Maine and New Hampshire coasts
during the fiscal year, although there
were 1856 persons on board the wrecked
vessels. OF these rs were cared for at
the life saving stations and were given
in all 35 days succOr.

ting her of. The officers wers aboard
the launch, and as the cascoes were NOT
aground they tied up to the bank and
the soldiers watched and offered sug-
gestions to the officers who were push.
ing with poles in their attempt to get
of OF the sand bar. Finally the launch
began to move and the soldiers an
plauded the officers for their gallant
efforts at work. Upon landing, the bag
gage was unlOaded from the cascoes
and loaded into teams which were wait
ing for us, and when all was loaded the
troops started out on the march for
their various stations. Troop A went
to the pumping station, or water works.
as the station is commonly called, as it
is pumping station on the Marquina
river which supplies Manila with water.
This station was about five miles from
the landing. Troop B was to be station
ed at Mariquina, about two miles far
Their from the pumping station, while
troops c and d had the longest march,
to San MateO, about five miles beyond
Mariquina. 1t was late in the evening
before we arrived at San MateO and all
the men were pretty tired after having
been cramped up on the transport for
two months with little or no exercise.
We were to relieve two troops of the
18th cavalry, their regiment being
under orders to proceed to the United
States, and upon arriving at the quar-
tiers occupied by the. Troop C we were
were we'll received. They had fine
supper already on the table, and as the
men were hungry as well as tired the
supper was well appreciated.
The next morning the Troops of the
nth cavalry left San Mateo, and we
were left in possession and began our
tour of duty N the Philippine Islands.
