IN FAVOR OF IMPORTERS.
Chinese Wool is Dutiable for Only
Four Instead of Seven Cents.

Chinese Wool is Dutiable for Only
Four Instead of Seven Cents.
New York, Oct. 10.-A decision Of
great Importance to importers invo1-
wing Chinese or Scechuen wool, was
rendered yesterday by the board of
general appraisers in the case OF
Robert Crooks & Co. The board de
cided in favor of the importers, who
had protested against the assessment
of duty of seven cents per pound.
and claimed it was dutiable for only
four cents.
According to law all such wool va
lued at over twelve cents per pound
is dutiable at seven cents, and all
valued at or under twelve cents is
dutiable at four cents. The importers
asserted that the wool in question
had been arbitrarily valued just over
twelve cents in order to take advan-
tage of the higher duty.

A WARM MEETING.
Stockholders Of Wabash Road Object
to Gould Presiding.

to Gould Presiding.
Toledo, O., Oct. 1O-The annual
meeting of the Wabash railroad op
ened this morning. The election is
to continue from nine o'clock until
noon. Of the seven directors present
including George J. Gould, all ex
cept Joseph Ramsey, Jr.. were out
spoken in their purpose to support
Gould in everything. Ramsey was
equally explicit in his declaration of
opposition.
Doyle, acting for Ramsey, offered OBJ
lection to Gould acting as presiding
officer on the ground, that he was a
director of the Missouri Pacific, a
parallel line to the Wabash. He also
offered objection to the election of in
spectors. Ramsey, rising, said: 81 al
so offer objections as stockholder."
The objections were spread on the
record.
The regular meeting was adjourned
to permit a caucus of the bondholders.
Under the law the bondholders have
stockholders six, and these twelve
to choose the thirteenth. Mr.. Greer,
of Gould's counsel, nominated as di-
rectora for the bondholderS E. T.
Wells, Winslow S. Pierce, w. B. Saun
ders, r. G. Clowry, Russell Sage and
r. M. Galloway.
Col. Doyle, for Ramsey, demanded
that the directors be chosen by bal
lot. This was voted down and the
selections were made by roll call. Mr..
Ramsey demanded that the proxy be
shown as each mans name was call
ed This operation consumed much
time.

For some time the people of Ros-
well and the Pecos Valley have
known that there was such a land
company as 1.-The Southwestern Land
Company, Incorporated" and have
noted that they brought good crowds
of prospectors to the Valley every
two weeks, but they have never been
able to learn just what this company
was doing. When one of their agents
or officers was consulted about the
amount of business, the inquirer al
ways received a polite reply, from
which little real information could
be cleaned. 1t was always sucn an
answer as, "Oh, we are doing very
well" or, 1--WE can't complain The
sum and substance Of the whole sit
uation is, that "still water runs
deep" This company has been doing
one of the incest runs of business of
all the land companies of the great
Southwest.
HS OOuIuW0SlSIu l<duu SOIlpduy
has been bringing to this Valley a
class of men above the average. They
are representative people from the
North, who are men of judgment
and wealth in many cases, who will
bring to the Valley fine horses and
cattle, men who will be valuable set
tiers and who will be citizens of real
pany there has been but one eighty
acre tract of land sold to an out and
out speculator.
The last excursion of the South
western Land Company was a char
acteristic exposition of the way This
company works In the party were
65 people, So of whom were actual
nrnspectors. Up to the present time
these prospectors have bought exact
ly 1000 acres of Valley land, and
eight of them are now in Roswell
looking for city property and a place
to locate and make their permanent
home. They are also investors in Vak
ley land The cars of the company
have gone North, but the remaining
eight excursionists will be here in
definitely.
The Southwestern Land Company
has a splendid personnel in its make
up. There are such men as Eisenhart
e. Overholt, of Burlington, Ia, the
men who first organized the work
in the North; there are W. G. Ham
ilton and Tannehill Brothers, of Ros-
well, and in all thirty agents, who
are scattered over wide territory,
working for the interests of the Val
ley and striving to get good men
who will come to the Valley to make
their homes. The company has lately
had an election, and the new officers
are: L. B. Tannehill, president; w
G.. Hamilton, vice president; G. c.
Tannehili, secretary and treasurer.
So it can be seen that the leading
officers are now Roswell men, men
who are interested in the Valley-perm-
anently and for it's best interests, as
they have property and varied bust
ness interests here and elsewhere in
the Valley
Working quietly and saying little,
this company is accomplishing just
what the Valley needs-it is bringing
many men, and good men. who will
make Roswell their home. A person
never hears OF the Southwestern

What Causes Lghtningp
from the Technical World Magazine.

From the Technical World Magazine.
The electrifcation of the atmosphere is
thought to take place through the particles
of water vapor. which are always present,
coming In contact with the earth and with
objects on Its surface, such as trees. cliffs
and buildings. A FRACTIONAL effect il sup
posed to charge the particles, just as a
glass rod or a rubber comb Is charged by
rubbing with cloth. The air being con-
stantly in motion. the particles are carried
about until the whole atmosphere becomes
electrified. Each particle carries certain
amount of Identification which Is under a
definite strain or pressure. although this
amount usually differs for each particle.
The quantity OF electricity which may be
stored up In the atmosphere at any time,
may be very great; but, as the entire space
occupied over any given region Is also very
large. there may be no evidence Of It's ex.
istence. When the water vapor accumu-
1ates in clouds, however, then we have an
increase In both quantity and pressure per
volume.

Ii properly fitted
The very stout woman should select
corset with a straight front and side bones
that run decidedly on the bias The lines
in the back should curve outward over the
hips and the bust line should not be too
high, just moderate
She should unlace her corset every time
she takes it off. and use two lacings, one
from the lowest holes to the waist line, and
another set from the top of the corset to
the waist line In adjusting her corset she
loosens II SO that she can run her hand
between corset and body at the waist line,
then she begins to hook from the bot
tom and fastens two or three hooks Now
taking a deep breath and running the hand
down between the corset and the body, she
lifts up the roll of flesh which has formed
there ((simply because she has not exer-
eised at the waist line and the muscles are
fiabby) and brings 1t up to the diaphragm.
Then holding her breath she fastens the re-
mainder of the hooks. Next she fastens the
garters to the stockings and finally comes
the lacing, the lower set OF laces tight
enough to keep the roll Of flesh In posi-
ton and the upper part of the corset left
rather loose. Tight lacing at the waist
line is not dangerous so long as the woman
can breathe comfortably, but only when
the corset presses on the liver and the kid

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Jury Finds Frank Lenich and
Frank Loujar Guilty.

The two Austrians, Frank Lenich
and Frank Loujer, who were on trial
in District court last week and part
of this for the murder of Peter Kra-
covitch at Eveleth on the night OF
April %, were found ;'guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree" by the
jury Monday evening at 1915 o'clock.
Only the judge and attaches of the
court house were present when it was
announced that the jury was ready to
report and the prisoners were brought
in to listen to the verdict that may
mean 20 years in Saltwater for the
two. Neither of the men moved a
muscle and neither showed by the ex-
pressions on their faces that the ver-
dict as read by the clerk was news to
them.
1t will be remembered that after
the murder Lenich and Loujer es-
capped and were captured by farmer
near Alborn station on the Duluth,
Missabe s. Northern road. The
friends of the two and in fact the
wholecontingent did allin.their power
to throw the officers off the track,

photograph of Lenich's cousin in the
old country as a picture of the man
wanted.

Postmaster's Pay Cut.

The salary of W. j. Cowling, post
master Of this city, has been decreased
from s17Oo to $1,000. This change is
made under the twenty-second annual
re-adjustment of postmaster's salar-
les. The fiscal year ends June 80. but
the salary adjustment is made on
the report of the quarter ending on
March 81. The receipts at the Ely
office fell short of the $4,000 mark last
year and were s53f.76 less than a year
ago. The decrease was due to the
falling off In the sale Of foreign post
age and the money order business
says Mr.. Cowling and is attributable
TO the strike OF last spring and tie
attendant shortage of work during
the season.
