The El paso Herald appears 10 DC
responsible for the sensational ana
nnfounded tales Of white caps in san
Miguel county. The special IN the
Denver News adverted to yesterday
bears a striking likeness to an articie
in the El Paso Herald which has peel
copied by several papers, used "
others as 4 special from Alamogordo
and thus pretty thoroughly distribute
ed.
The Herald quotes Ranger Dudley
as authority for the story. We are
not inclined to believe Ranger Dudley
guilty OF spreading any such eAas
gerated tales. There has been no re
yiyal OF the white cap days In this
county and there Is no such quarrel
on between the cattle and sheel
men MS has been represented.
A good deal OF feeling has beer
aroused BY the fencing Of the range
and weeks & quite a lot OF fence
on the Beck grant and Bell ranch
was cut.
Sheriff Romero. assisted by several
rangers, captured seven men VINO
were charged with this offense.
The first men captured were lodg,
cd in Jail nine weeks and the last
bunch three weexs ago. The facts IN
the case were given full prominence
in the Las Vegas papers at the time
and were also sent to the Denver pa
pcrs. There has been nothing OF
what San Miguel people knew years
ago as white capplsm. there nave
been no threats Of numbering those
who fenced the range. and the fence
cutting stopped six weeks ago.
n Ranger Dudley or any DINER
ranger IL giving out such damaging
reports as have been sent out from
FL raso, the sooner that particular
ranger ceases to be a member OF the
force the better. However. we esteem
MIR. Dudley as a good officer and q
conservative talker and believe the
fault Is with the disordered imagina-
ton Of ri Paso newspaper men.

"a FAKE AND A FRAUD"

The National Druggist In a recent
Issue shows up some of the cap

icines.
One Of the magazines which Is most
pronounced and least reasonable IN
it's opposition to patent medicines,
under which head IL classes all e
icines not prescribed on written
prescription by a physician, recently
gave publicity to the alleged result
Of an experiment which 1t claimed
was made to show the presence OF
what II claims 10 be 90 great an
amount OF alcohol In medicine.
This alleged experiment consisted
Of placing in separate receptacles a
tables poonful OF each of three widely
known proprietary medicines n a
like quantity OF "A light beer. a tube,
leading to a mantle burner, was At
tached and the receptacles heated.
The visible demonstration came, II
Is alleged, when a match applied al
the mantle caused a bright light,
which lasted until the alcohol was
consumed. The tablespoonful OF beer

cording 10 the magazine exploiting
the alleged experiment,

There was nothing original in Gov.
Folks address at ChautauQua, N. Y,
recently, but the well-known truth he
enunciated took on greater weight for
his Endorsement. He is no closet phil
osopher, giving to the public the re-
suits of reading and speculation, but
a man of affairs who has done things
and noted the consequences. He was
elected District Attorney in st. Louis
in the expectation that he would ignore
the laws and let those who were vio-
lating them continue to flourish on
their iniquities. Instead of that, he
enforced the laws and saw conditions
all around him rapidly improve. When
therefore, such n man tells us that a
cure for many of the ills we are endur-
ing a a people Is the simple execution
of the laws, he has the strongest pos
sible claim upon our attention, and his
advice is worth following. Laws are
OF little use unless their enforcement
is demanded and backed up by public
sentiment.

large offices where hunters for work

their clothing disinfected, and if the
unions which support these institutions
have no work for them in cities, they
are sent to the farm colonies in the
country, where they can work at farm
ing, land reclamation, and in other pro-
ductive capacities. The system of
these unions is said to be very COM

besides providing opportunities for

MS wife were slain in 1S47 and with
which the first blow of the tearsome

4rmous crime which nearly obliterated

The recent visit of the Shah of Persia
to England recalls former call of his
upon Queen Victoria, when London
was startled at the Oriental methods
employed by this picturesque Eastern
potentate. Thousands of dollars worth
of damage was done in the famous
Buckingham Palace by the nochalant
orders of the Shah. The sheep which
provided his mutton were brought into
the palace rooms, which had been
placed at his royal disposal, and
slaughtered upon the magnificent and
costly rugs and other such eXtravagant
practices were the order of the day.
While the meat which the Shah eats is
always supposed to be slaughtered be-
fore his eyes, it was believed at the time
that these performances were simply
the carrying out of an Eastern regal
fancy, to show Western barbarians
what the Orient was accustomed to.
The Queens maids of honor have
very little to do. They live at home,
and when the Queen is in London they
are conveyed to Buckingham Palace
after luncheon in royal carriages, and
remain in suite Of charming salons
until required to accompany the Queen
and her unmarried daughter out
driving. They must dress very well
and not appear in the same clothes too
often, and, above all, study the wishes
of Her Majesty in regard to colors and
modes. The millinery embargo that is,
not to wear a picture hat, must be fol-
lowed to the letter. With a salary Of
1,500 and the attachment of Honor

honor manage to worry along until

COUNTING UNCLE SANS CASH.
Occurs Every Time New Treasurer
Is Appointed.

Owing to the recent change in the
office of Treasurer of the United
States, a task of no small magnitude Is
going on in the Treasury Building
Every time one Treasurer gives way TO
another the cash must be counted and
verified before the new official becomes
responsible for the money under his
care.
AS soon as change Is made the
Secretary of the Treasury appoints
Committee of Three to select force TO
count the cash. This committee picks
out number of clerks in the various
offices of the Department, and they are
set at work to count the millions. Fer
haps there may be forty men selected
to perform this huge count; maybe
fifty or eighty. 1t is always considered
an honor to be one of these counters.
The total sum counted by these men
is somewhere in the neighbOrhood or
five hundred and thirty millions In
money, bonds, notes and everything
else. One vault alone contains over q
hundred millions in silver dollars. An
other has a heavy amount of silver
fractional currency, and many tons or
nickel five-cent pieces and pennies.
The WORKING cash is handled first,
and in order to give it chance to do
regular duty it is counted at night.
Most of the money is counted in bulk
and stored away in uags, each contain
ing a certain sum. 1nese are weighed,
and if there is even one dollar short,
there is instant detection of the wrong
count AS each bag is filled by clerk,
who attaches his name by a tag, any
discrepancy in the number of coins or
any coin missing from the sack is
charged to him. This is done, not only
to check any tendency toward dis
honesty, but also to cause each counter
to exercise the greatest care. The new

York, who takes the place Of Ellis Ii.

The British agents slowly poisoned
the minds of the savages against the
new comers but Ii was not till 1S47
that the savages in council determined
to massacre all the American settlers
I'm their country.
The site of DR.. Whitman's dwell
ling was on the north bank of
the Walla Walla river at what is
now the town of Wahula. The In
dians surrounded the houses of the
mission their weapons hidden under
their blankets. AT dawn of November
20, 1S47 an Indian entered the doctors
house and asked for medicine. AS
the missionary turned to his medicine
chest the savage buried his toma-
hawk In the good mans brain. Mrs.
Whitman was killed q minute later
by the same savage with the same
weapon. The murder of the mission
ary was the signal for the wholesale
slaughter to begin. The butchery COM
menced on all sides. The crash of
firearms, the groans of the dying,
screams of women, yells of the painted
demons filled the air. The Indians
women and children danced and sang
as the atrocious work went on. They
multilated the dead. Women and
children of the settlers sank under
bloody knife and club. The massacre
lasted all day and then numbering
parties started in every direction.
Everybody in the Whitman mission
was killed and many settlers all
through the woods were slain. The
Cayuse attacked a mission among
the Nez Perces but these Indians
