From Ny Old kentucky Home.

Here is part of a Thanksgiving proc
lamation, that we know will interest
several of our Deming subscribers, be-
cause it is dated at or near the homes
they left years ago, for this Eden
bower:
Whereas, in accord with Christian
custom, Thursday, November y, 1904,
hath been set apart as day of thanks
giving and prayer, do beseech all
saints and sinners to go to church and
be good. Whether chanting hymns,
shooting quail, or sipplng delicious poi
son from the eyes of beauty, keep in
nocency, and take heed unto the thing
that is right, for that shall bring a man
peace at the last. Let us be thankful
that our colonels are not so full of corn
as our corn is full of kernels. Though
the surrounding soil. tickled witha hoe,
is laughing with the harvest poor folks
are still with us. From thin soup and
cold potatoes, good Lord deliver them.
Oh. Christian men and women, aston
ish the stomach of the starving sufferer
with oysters, turkey and mnce pie.
Adorn the ragged pauper with comfort
able clothing. An ounce of practice is
worth a pound of preaching. Dearly
beloved, let us play upon a new song of
praise, give thanks upon a harp of a
thousand strings for the most charm
ing crop of beautiful babes ever born
in the old town since creation dawned
and the morning stars sang together.
Sweet, dainty darlings, smile on, like
sunbeams in shady places. Kick up
your little heels and make earth a
Heaven. With charity unto all and
malice toward none, do hereunto sub
scribe my official signature to the words
that have been written.

Col. Chaves Assassinated.

Col. j. Francisco Chaves, former dele
gate in congress from New Mexico, pres
ident of the New Mexico senate and one
of the foremost politicians of the terri
tory, was assassinated Monday while
he sat at supper in Pinos Wells, a sheep
ranch supply station, 100 miles northeast
of Albuquerque, in thecenter of the vast
Estancia plains.
Colonel Chaves had gone to the range
with Louis Traue of this city to buy sheep
and being unable to finish his business
and return to the railroad went to the
home of Jaun F. Saas, in Pinos Wells,
for the night. At7o'clock, as the party
sat at supper, shot was fred through
the open window, the bullet striking
Colonel Chaves at the base Of the brain,
killing him Instantly. The shot was fired
from a point so close TO the window that
the powder was ground into the glass.
The assassin, who was alone, made his
escape on hOrSeOack
Aspecial train was sent over the Santa
Fe Central with bloodhounds from the
pententiary and extraordinary effort by
national, territorial and county officials
are being made to capture the assassin.
The people here believe the assassina.
tiOn was the work Of some political enc.
my.
Colonel Chaves was born in New Mexi-
co in 1888. He was educated at the st.
Louis university and also attended the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons in
New York. He served rs soldier under
Kit Carson inmany Indian wars in New
Mexico, ana during he civil war was
promoted from major to colonel of the lst
New Mexico infantry. In 1865 he was
elected delegate TO congress and served
three terms He has served continuous
ly in the territorial legislature since 1876
At the time of his death Mr. Chayes
was territorial superintendent Of in.
struction and historian for the territory.
Col. J. Francisco Chaves was prob
ably better known and more esteemed
by the people Of Deming, and all
southern New Mexico, than any individ.
ual not an actual resident of this section.
There has never been, in the past
twenty-five years measure proposed
calculated for the good Of this portion
of the Territory but found in him an
unselfsh, able and ardent champion.
ever ready at the call of his friends,
fearless in his advocacy of their in
terests, yet just to his opponents, he
earned the love o. one and the respect
of the other. The cruel and cuwardly
method OF his death was a shock to
every honest citizen, n disgrace to the
Territory, and calls for the use of
every means at the command of our Of.
fcers TO bring the guilty one to JUS
ticp.

New Mexico Frui. at Worlds Fair.

Travelling Auditor Charles V. Stafford
has received the following letter from
Charles j. Andrews, brother of Dele
gate Elect w. II. Andrews, and which
will be Of interest to New Mexicans in
general:
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. g. 1904
Mr.. Charles V. Stafford,
Santa Fe, N. NJ.
My Dear Sir While at the ST. Louis
Exposition met Mr.. j. A. Graham,
superintendent Of the Agriculture and
Horticulture, New Mexico Exhibit;
was very much impressed with the
magnificent display of apples and other
fruits. In conversation with him,
| learned that he believed that a COM
bination could be affected between the
fruit growers Of New Mexico and re-
'ponsible eastern parties experienced
in handling large quantities of fruit
products, provided that proper refrig-
Grated storage houses can be erected at
suitable points in the Territory for the
proper handling of the goods.
] took the matter up with the largest
wholesale fruit handler in Pttsburg.
He is now handling from 80 to 100 cars
a day; he told me he could entertain q
proposition and was thoroughly in
touch with every large market in the
east and m position to dispose Of, at
proper prices, any amount Of vegc-
tables and fruits.
Yesterday had conversation with
my brother, Hon. w. II. Andrews, and
Mr.. Hopewell, Of the Territory, who
advised me write to you also Mr. f.. A.
Clhoon, cashier of the First National
Bank James F. Iinkle and c. c. Tan
nehill, of Roswell; this letter is du
alicate Of the one sent to each of tn,
gentlemen named.
Please advise me at your earliest op.
portunty your opinion as TO the propei
way to start the matter provided, il
your Judgment, you deem it feasible.
and oblige, Yours very truly,
c. J. ANDREWS.

Grow Il Here.

During the coming winter season
1000 carloads of celery will be trans
ported over the Santa Fe from Cali
fornia to Chicago, and all of it will be
carried entirely across the Territory of
New Mexico.
Only a few years ago the celery con
sumed in this locality was raised near
Kalamazoo Mich. and was shipped
here from the east. Nothing in the
way of celery was good enough for the
Harvey houses along the whole Santa
Fe line unless it was grown in southern
Michigan.
And while this great industry has
been a success at both ends of the line,
We have been eating celery, grown
within a mile OF Deming, that, in
every respect is the equal of that
grown either east or west Of us. The
climate and soil of this section are far
better adapted to celery raising than
southern Michigan, and equally as well
as southern California.
We can ship 1000 carloads of celery
from this station within u very few
yeGrs, if we will all be agreed and de-
termined as to one thing-that the
water beneath us shall be brought to
he surface to turn our arid lands into
gardens and fruitful fields.

SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans. forccasting events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be ovcrconhdent OF re-
suits of the presidential election in
November.
There - no doubt as TO the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given great vote Of confidence, an
Outpouring of national affection and
trust, aside from Il mere majority Of
electoral votes.
A rebulc is deserved for the men
who 50 falsify facts and sentiments,
so distort prevaricate and invent, as
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt is anything but the strong,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he Is.
The silly bosh about imperialism"
and "militarism." the groundlcss flub-
dub as to fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such manner as can never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear on masse at
the polls in November. to show what
they think of Theodore Roosevelt.

David Il. Hill, the sponsor of the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, said at st. Louis that he did
not know how Parker stood on the
money question" For thirty years
Hill and Parker have been intimately
associated, socially and politically. II
the statement made by Hill is to be be-
lieved. then Parker is too secretive a
man to elect to the presidency; If false
then it was evidently made for the pur,
pose of misleading the people; and il
the people are to be deceived in one
thing, why not in all the acts of the
Democratic leaders?
