OUTLAWS FAIL
TO SCARE 0TERO
New Mexico's Executive Has His
Life Menaced and Arms
Himself.

Santa Fe, N. M, Oct. IL. These are
merchandising days and nights for MI
guel Otero, governor Of this territory.
Recent mails here brought to the chief
executive warning that his assassina-
tion is only a question of time and that
he had better prepare to die.
While Governors Otero maintains out
ward calm and says little, it is evident
that he takes the threat seriously, for.
the executive mansion is now an arse
nal. A ferocious bulldog stands nightly
vigil in the gubernatorial .bedchamber.
The latest devices in burglar alarms are
on every door and window
The threats are a elimination of ter
ritorial affairs which have been smol-
dering several years. Two factions are
conspiring against the governor-the
remnant Of a powerful outlaw gang and
a faction in local politics.
The outlaws are seeking revenge be-
cause of Governor Otero,s aggressive
policy against g bad men, Their ;ha-.
tired was demonstrated in recent 8at-
tempts to kidnap the young son ofsthe
governor. This outrage has been traced
to a member of the Claude Doane band.

Miguel Otero is one of the most in
teresting characters Of the west: Only
a few years ago he was bank clerk in
Albuquerque. His salary was moderate,
but he managed to save a few hundred
dollars and decided to take hand in
the game of politics.
He felt that the office Of marshal of
the territory would be a good starting
place. Resigning his place in the bank
he went to Washington to press his
claims. Otero obtained a personal in
terview with President Mckinley. It
was BRIEF. He was informed that he
stood no<chance for the appointment, as
the place had been promised. ~

given him strict orders that no one
was to pick the nuts, the gardener

you'll have to clear out of this.
I've orders to keep all these nuts for
the colonel"

"That's what I'm getting 'em for"
The gardener, satisfied, then pass

Meeting the same man a week
after, he said:
''Look here! You were not get

Survival of the Filter.

A filter who squeezed into boiler
at the railroad station at Crewe,
England, apparently increased in
size while inside, for he could not
get out. The engine was obviously
not of the kind known as triple ex-
pansion, and a problem of the most
serious order faced the other en-
ployees. At first it was proposed to
get up steam and drive him through
the safety valve in the ordinary
way. His previous good character,
however, and the possession of a
large family secured him reprieve.
The boiler was taken to pieces, the
incident ending, according to Lon
don journal, in the Survival of the

The Whale.

An English schoolboy gives his
views regarding the whale: 'The
whale is not called fish because it
is so big, so it is called a creature.
They eat cockels and worms and
jellies. The whales swim in shols,
and they have a tarpoon at the end
of their tails, when he moves his
tail, with one blow he will smash
the side of the ship, 1t has very
big head and two fins, or fappers, on
one side of its body. Fishmongers
catches whales an sail them. Some
people eat whales with salt and
piper and bread, and some with po-
tatoes. If you keep a whales head
under water he will die for want of

known as producer gas, and is to all

vapor passed through incandescent
coke in special form of furnace. The
resultant gas is combination of car

Utilizing the fuel in this manner is
claimed to effect very appreciative

FULL OF RESOURCE.
A Story of Jean Bart, an old Time
French Naval Officer.

Jean Bart, a French naval com
mander Of the last part of the sew
enteenth century, was at one time
ordered to convey the Prince de
Cont, a candidate for the throne Of
Poland, to Dant lie, a voyage fraught
with danger, az his vessel must pass
through the water, where were
cruising the hostile fleets OF the
English and Dutch. During the
passage the little squadron was
chased by the enemy, and Bart, as
soon as they were reported, called
his little son to him and gave him
whispered Instructions. The pursuit
continued for sight hours, and at
the end of that time the enemy was
no longer in sight. Then Bart went
down into the cabin, where the
prince had been sitting in ignorance
of the days excitement.
you've had narrow escape,
monseigneur," said he.
"What do you mean?" asked the
prince.
"Why," answered Bart, ''that
we've been chased by three eight
gun ships and nine frigates. We've
run them out of sight, and there's
nothing to fear"
'fBut, NJ. Bart, if they had taken
us?"
ooh, monseigneur, that was quite
impossible"
"Eh! What? Why impossible ?"
Because" answered Bart, 81 had
stationed my brave son, my Cornil,
in the gunroom with a lighted
match and strict orders to put it
into the powder if we should be
overpowered."
"What" cried the prince. "You
would never have done such a
thing?"
Certainly l would have done it, "
said Bart. 'It shall never be said
that l allowed you to be taken when
the king ordered me to take care
that you were not"
Perhaps the prince himself might
have preferred prosaic surrender to
the doubtful glory OF being blown

LIMIT TO SUMS LIFE.
ASTRONOMER SAYS GREAT ORB
GROWS SMALLER.
Old Sol Still Has 100000 Years
to Exist, However-EngEsh scien-
tist Declares Tremendous
Force is at Work.

London-The prodigality with which
the sun dispenses heat and the posi-
blllties which arise from this prodigal
lty have formed the subject of an address
delivered by the great astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball, the other night.
He could not escape from the opera
ton OF the simple rule, he said, that as
IL gave out heat the suns body must get
smaller. What the sun would become in
the future he could not say, but If one
could go to the sun with measure
he would find that it had shrunk 1G
inches in "a hours.
Ten million years ago the sun was
nearly million times larger than at
present, and the simple principle that
red-hot poker is trife larger than
when cold must also apply to the sun.
The most important question regard.
ing the sun, he said, is the manner in
which its heat is kept up. Supposins
every particle of coal were taken from
the earth and poured into the sun, how
long would it keep that orb going?
1t is a scientific truth, the lecturer de.
clared, that the entire coal supply OF
the world would not give the suns
heat for more than the ten thousandth
part Of a single moment of time.
This prodigality of heat connot be
Kept up by combustion; there must be
some tremendous force of energy. That
Is, however, an idea which is assuming
clearer and more definite shape, which
gives proof how the suns heat is
kept up.
The sun, it was said, by the mere fact
OF attraction of its particles, gives us as
much heat as could be got from burning
5000 globes of coal. When this calcula-
tion is worked out, and it is remembered
that it is not only to the earth that the
sun gives heat, it shows that the sun
might be kept going for "a ,000, 900 years.
A suggestion was made that the ex
ecution of the suns energy has been due
to radium. If radium was in the sun. as
IL was in the bulk of earth, then instead
OF paltry 24,OOO,OOO years of life al
lowed to the sun it would be 1 900. 900 900
years.

German Student Kills Himself Just

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Carl Gutenberg, "a
years old, and believed to belong to
an excellent family in Bremen, Ger.
many, was found dead in his bed at
a boarding house. A towel was hang.
ing over the keyhole and the gas was
turned on full. Gutenberg came to
this country from Bremen about three
years ago. He had considerable
money at first, but when his funds be.
gan to grow low he secured a posi-.
tion. He lost this position about a
month ago, and since then has been
anXiously awaiting a remittance from
his parents in Bremen. He wrote to
them about two weeks ago, and for the
past two or three days has been eager.
ly expecting a reply.
Gutenberg caMe in late the night be
fore and went to his room. The next
morning about ten o'clock the long
expected letter from Bremen arrived
AS the landlady approached the dooi
with the cheerful news she detected
the odor of gas.
Oldenbergs door was opened and he
was found lying on the bed, dead.
Inere was a letter on the dresser ad-
dressed to his mother in Bremen, and
a photograph on stand, on the back
of which was written in German:
"The play mas come to an end; 1 have
played my last card. My address is
II Nicholas street, Bremen"
The photograph was that of a group
of seven young Germans, evluently
students. and cross was placed by
Gutenberg above his own picture.

He was badly wounded at the battle

bullet having penetrated his brain.
He was taken prisoner and sent to
Andersonville after having his
wound dressed by Il doctor, who did
not attempt to extract the bullet.
Cooke recovered, and the lead in his
"noggin" did not bother him at all.
One day he commenced to sneeze,
and he nearly sneezed himself to
death. He sneezed for ten days.
With the last snecae came the bull
