D. J. ABEL COMMITS SUICIDE.
Was One Of the Owners of Roswell
Business House and Was Known
to Many of Our Citizens.

Was One of the Owners of a Roswell
Business House and Was Known
to Many of Our Citizens.
The news of the suicide of D. ]
Abel, which occurred at the st. James
Hotel in Denver Sunday morning, has
been received in Roswell, and it
came as a surprise to his many ac-
quaintances. A chambermaid heard a
noise like the falling of a heavy body
in his room, and an investigation dis
closed the fact that he had cut his
throat with a razor. He expired soon
after being found. He left no note
telling of the cause of his suicide. but
Queerly and avoiding the company of
friends for a year. Business or some
other trouble had been preying on
his mind
Mr. Abel is known to have been a
cigar salesman at Denver as early
as 1879. Twenty-three years ago he
moved to Santa Fe, and in 1882 NOV
ed to Albuquerque, where he conduc-
ted a cigar store for Is years. His
estate is valued at $4,000 Besides
large property interests at Albuquer-
que, he was one of the principal
in the Peces Valley Ii
quor. anu Cigar Company, of Ros-
we'll, Of which he was vice president.
He also had realty in Arizona. He
had not been in Roswell since the
store here was opened, but had plan
ned a visit here only a short time
before his death.
He was a member of the B. P. o.
E., Masonic and Bnai Birth lodges.
He had a brother, Albert ]. Abel, liv-
ing at Denver. Colo. and the re-
mains will probably be inferred at
that place.
The will has been opened, and
nephew by the name of Abel, in Chi
cago and the Montezuma Loan &
Trust Co. of Albuquerque, are NAM
ed as administrators without bond.
The will also requests that the re-
mains be cremated and the ashes be
deposited in an urn and be placed
in the Elks' lodge room in AlbuQuer
que.

to vote for him on the understanding
that he would resign Immediately af-
ter the joint assembly had declared

| All the members of the joint as

was called. Senator Mccarthy, OF

give any reason He was excused by

Senator Alexander of the contest
committee asked leave to withdraw
his report in favor of declaring a va

decided could not be legally adopted.
Leave of withdrawal was granted by
a vote of 55 TO 80.
Representative Griffith moved the
adoption of the report submitted by
him and three other members of the
contest committee, finding much
fraud had been committed in Denver
but declaring Adams legally elected
The motion was defeated by vote
of IA to 80.
A motion was made to adopt the
Peabody report, and as an amend

some sparring among the members
under the ten-minute rule. Senator
Hughes filed a petition for a special
election to determine whether Adams
or Peabody is the choice OF the peo-
pie for governor. This was ruled out

TRIED TO FIRE A BUILDING.
Automobile House of J. w. Stockard
Found Burning, With Coal Oil
About the Building.


About the Building.
Some one evidently tried to set
fire to the automobile house of j. w
Stockard. on the lot back of the
Grand Central Hotel, at an early
hour this morning. Austin Truloclz,
who sleeps near the building, was
awakened by light in his room and
he discovered the fire in time to pre-
vent any damage being done. The
bottom of the boards and the ground
around the auto house had been sat
urated with coal oil and the oil set
atire. The flames were soon exiting
uished. In a barn adjoining the auto
house were three fine horses belong
ing to Mr.. SLockard, one of which is
very valuable animal. Mr.. Stockard
has no idea who the person could
have been to attempt such deed.

From the New Mexican.

From the New Mexican.
The New Mexican receives word
from Roswell that the New Mexico
Military Institute is again enjoying
a very prosperous and successful ses-
sion. The school stands unique among
the educational institutions through
out the southwest, in that it is in no
sense local. The cadet whose home
is in the Pecos Valley. or even in
Roswell. receives no favors or bene-
fits over the ones who come from the
remotest parts of The Territory. All
cadets are required to live in bar
racks and remain under the personal
snpervision of the officers at all times.
This institution made a bold stand
six years ago when it cut off local
students and set out to maintain
strictly Territorial school, regardless
of the clamor set up by the citizens
of Roswell. who wished to patronize
it as a local high school BY this sys-
tenn every town and county in the
Territory receives equal benefits from
the advantages offered by this excel
lent military training school. For the
past three seasons the institute has
been filed to it's utmost capacity and
cadets are at present enrolled from
every locality throughout New Mexi-
CO.
The regents OF the Military Insi-
tute are progressive business men,
their power to make and maintain a
school worthy of the patronage and
support of the people, no matter whe-
ther they live in the immediate vi
cinity Of the school or not. The school
has no politics and teaches no relig-
ious belief Eevery religious belief
which the cadet brings from his
home is held sacred. Its chief aim
is the formation of character and the
development OF mind and body. While
il is military in every respect and en-
forces military discipline at all times.
it's chief object is not to make sol
diers, but to make loyal and intellt
gent citizens.
The growth of the institute has
been greatly hindered by its lack of
more dormitory room. for as its pat
ronage is limited 10 boarding stud
ents. and as it is not deemed wise to
place more than two boys to a room.
accommodations are at present pro-
vided for only one hundred and TWEEN
: ty students During the past two
years many applicants have been re
fused admission on account of limit
ed room. This fact, however, has
been of benefit to the school, for II
has enabled the superintendent to
discriminate in the selection OF stud
ents and to reject such as were
deemed unprepared or Objectionable
The discipline of the school is main
tanned at a high standard and while
the military feature is made promi
nent. it is in no wise allowed to In
terfere with academic work
The graduates are well fitted for
business life, and those who desire
further academic or scientific worE
have no trouble in entering the Soph
omore classes of our best eastern uni
versities. Four of the graduates have
secured splendid positions with the
government soon after leaving the in
stftute, and all are reported as doing
well. George Read of the class OF

No details of the action have been re-
ceived, and the ultimate fate of the
remnant of kuropatkin's force is prob
IematicaI. Another successful flankt
ing movement on the part of the Jap
anese would probably seal it's fate,
but it may be that the Japanese are
not in condition to accomplish such
