Had To HObble Texans.

A canvass-backed caravan pass
ed through Artesia last week bound
for Texas. The head of the house
hold has been farming near Hope,
IN. M. year or two, but he and
his family had become home. sick
for the old haunts and were "gwine
back" Their actions reminded J.
B. Gage of tale he heard at Hag-
erman the other day. A citizen of
that town went to sleep (nothing
unusual by the way) andhe dream
ed that he went to heaven. The
visitor saw among the assembled
hosts vast multitude that were en-.
joying everything that a great Je-
hovah could design for the eternal
happiness of the pure in heart.
Their wings were tipped with gold
and they had harpS within their
hands, but the visitor noticed they
were all securely hobbled. Why
this state of affairs should exist was
a mystery, so he asked his guide
about it. ooh, there is nothing
the matter with them, that is just
a lot of Texans and we have to
keep 'em hobbled or they will go
back"
Paradise has no charms for a
Texan if he has to 90 away from
home to get it.-EXchange.

If there is crop that can be
grown successfully on the Plains
that crop is surely sweet pota-
toes. Judge G. II. Word brought
to the News office this week 4
sack of sweet potatoes that
contained 10 healthy specimens,
all of them the fruit of one vine,
and this too without irrigation.
He has removed one potato from
a vine in his patch that tipped
the scales at 1 pounds. Where
is there a country that can beat
this showing in sweet "taters?"

The man who usually buSieS him
self with gathering local items for
the News has been quite as busy
as usual this week though his bust
ness has been directed in other
channels than that of hustling per-
sonal items of things happening
about town. His attention has been
peculiarly diverted into the mys-
teries of putting down carpets, put
ting up stoves and other things OF
which only the initiated in the art
of moving know anything about.
AS consequence of this eXpendl-
ture of energy in the task as above
mentioned the interest which we
have heretofore endeavored to
maintain in our local page will be
short of its usual pathos for this
week.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Mr.. Moody Says Dominion Will Be
Invited to Another Conference.

Boston, Oct 1O-The Republican
state convention nominated a state
ticket headed by Governor John l..
Bates for a third term and adopted a
platform endorsing the candidacy of
Roosevelt and advocating reciprocity
treaties, especially with Canada. The
convention also passed resolutions pay
ing an eloquent tribute to Senator Hoar
William H. Moody was permanent
chairman of the convention and a fea-
ture of the proceedings was his refer
ence to reciprocity with Canada, in
his speech.
Referring to this question the at
tOrney general said:
'It is of the highest Importance to
this country and to the world that the
two English speaking nations should
forever remain at peace, and for. that
reason it is important that our rela-
tions with England's great dependency
to the northward should be and con-
tlnue harmonious. | think l may safe
ly assure you that in the near future
this government will again invite Can
ada to consider in friendly spirit our
trade relations.

CAR AND KAISER.
Persistent RumOr That There Is Z
"Gentiemen'S Agreement"

Persistent RumOr That There Is q
"Gentiemen'S Agreement"
St. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE rumor
of the existence of secret understand
ing between Russia and Germany COW
ering the far East has been revived.
According to the latest version Ger
many gives certain guarantees to EN-,
peror Nicholas regarding the German
frontier, which will enable Russia to
withdraw troops from the big garrison
maintained in Russian Poland and dis
patch ITEM to the seat of war, besides
agreeing to support Russia in the peace
negotiations at the end of the war.
Germaany's compensation, in addition
to the concessions made in the COM
mercial treaties already negotiated, is
to be the support of Russia in the at
tempt to incorporate The Netherlands
in the German confederation in the
event of the death of Queen Wilhelmina
without a direct heir.
Diplomatic circles are discussing the
affair with interest. While it is classed
in the same category as other similar
stories by most diplomats, it finds more
credence In quarters not particularly
noted for friendliness either to Russia
or Germany, it being even asserted
that the recent visit of Grand Duke
Vladimir to Berlin, ostensibly to con-
suit specialist, in reality was to con
fer with Emperor William in person on
this question.
Nothing confirmato1y of the report
is obtainable in response BILE government
circles, where the story is dismissed
as being the invention of enemies of
both countries.

TORPEDO BOATS IN WRECK.
Believed to Have Been Work Of
Russian Spy.

St. Paul, Oct. IA special to the
Dispatch from Minot, N. D., says:
Two knocked down torpedo. boats,
en- route over the Great Northern to
! cattle, have been wrecked near Tow
ner, through the breaking of the for
ward journal on the truck containing
part of one Of the boats. The train
passed Rugby at an early hour on a
special schedule following the Great
Northern flyer.
1t is presumed that the journal was
tempered with at Rugby. During the
summer a num- Der of Russians have
been employed on the section crew at
Towner. Some of them, it is said,
have disappeared. 1t is known that
the Russian and Japanese governments
have had spies in this country, with a
view to watching suspicious shipments
to the Orient.
The wreck did not materially injure
the steel work on the boats, but prac-
tically destroyed the woodwork located
over the front trucks of the car, so
that it will have to be reconstructed.

Uncle Sam Wants to know About
Opening Nails.

Washington, Oct. l1.-Russia will
be held to strict accountability if it is
disclosed that her navy officers have
been guilty of Selling American mail
bound for Japan and China. The for
lnal complaint by Dodwell & Co., of
Tacoma, Wash, that such mail on the
British steamer Calchas, held by a
Vladivostok prize court, has been de-
tanned, was laid before the secretary
OF state during the day Immediately
upon It's being received by the post.

Steps were at once taken to have
Ambassador Met ormack at St. Peters
burg, lay the matter before the Rus.
sian government Mails are exempted
from molestation during war by the
International postal treaty.
International law holds that neutral
vessels passing to and from a belliger-
emit port may carry mails, and this i'm
plies its inviolability from seizure.

Seattle, Oct. Sat 2:O2 yesterday
afternoon another big sea fighter was
added to the fighting strength of the
American navy. Eager to meet the
waves, the battleship Nebraska refused
to await the minute set for her launch
ing but, taking matters into her own
hands, broke away from the last few
splinters of wood that held her and
started down the ways at Moran Bros.
Company's ship yards eleven minutes
ahead of time.
Congressman Humphrey was in the
midst of his address, when there was
a cracking of wood and the naval
leviathan began to move. So slowly
at first that she scarcely seemed to be
moving at all, then with rush that
seemed to bespeak her impotence to
reach the water, she made her own
way down the long incline into the
waters of the bay. The momentum of
her race down the ways carried the
new battleship out into the sound near
ly to the buoy at which she was an
chored.
Sponsor Prepared for Occasion.
Although the big ship started down
the ways ahead Of the hour set, Miss
Mickey, whose duty it was to christen
her, was not taken unawares, and, re-
tanning her presence of mind, crashed
the bottle of champagne against the
bow. Amid the booming of the salute
from the Wyoming and the shrieking
whistles of the excursion craft in the
harbor, her speed slackened and she
gradually came to rest in the waters
of the sound
From the moment when the first
tremor of motion was visible in the
immense hull of the Nebraska until
she struck the waves was exactly elev.
en- seconds. In three seconds more the
full length of the battleship was af1oat.
Interest in the approaching launch
ing was at fever heat in this city and
