For the members of Val Verde
Camp No. 1419. United Confederate
Veterans who went out to their picnic
at the beautiful Grove on the Slaugh
ter farm two miles east of Roswell
Saturday. it was like being in camp
once more. The difference was that
they were en- a peaceful, pleasant eX-
c,Irsion instead of a mission of war.
Another difference was that nearly
all of the members present now have
gray or white hair.which in the olden
times they were celebrating was
black. There were thirty of the old
soldiers present, and with their fami-
lies and friends there was a crowd of
about 200 present.
After arriving at the grounds, the
ceremonies were opened with prayer
by the Camp Chaplain, Louis w. Nea-
therlin. Judge Jas. A. Poage then in
troduced the speaker of the day, Elder
c. c. Hill. pastor of the Christian
church, who gave a splendid address,
which is given in full below.
Judge ]. T. Evans was then called
upon for a speech, and he spoke inter
estingly of the U. c. V. cause. He
said that the eX-Confederates had uni
ted, not to stir up bitter feelings over
their lost cause or to keep up dissen-
sions with the North but for their
own pleasure and to provide a way
of securing a fund for the mainten-
ance of INDECENT members, widows,
and others who, in the North, are
provided for by pensions. His talk
was a good one, though impromptu,
and was greatly enjoyed. II. also did
much good among the membership.
Following Judge Evans speech.
dinner was served in picnic style on
a table fifty or seventy-five yards in
length. Such a spread has not been
seen often in this county. There was
everything the season affords. and in
abundance. Everyone ate heartily and
were put in good humor for singing
of old campfire songs. appropriate
to the occasion, which was done in a
joyous manner the young people lead
ing.
The old soldiers present formed in
line and hah their pictures taken by
Photographer Ray, as did also the
young ladies' who led the singing.
After dinner several beautiful and
appropriate recitations were given as
follows:

Miss ..ary Greenlee. which was a
story of the war. told in manner
most apepaling. Another story teld

The deep we'll meeting at the
rooms of the Roswell Commercial
Club last night was attended by a
large crowd of representative citi-
zens and was most satisfactory in
its results. The main and most inter
esting result is that the deep well pro-
ject is a go
Maurice Price presided at the meet
ing. and when order had been called
the report of the committee on ar
ransements was received and adopted
by unanimous vote. The committee
recommended that a company he tor
med with a capitalization of 800, 900
made up of 1OO,0 900 shares at one dol
lar each. IL further recommended that
sufficient number of shares be sold
at a price to raise $500, which will
be enough to sink well 1,S00 feet
if necessary. As to the location of
the well, it was recommended that
this be decided by a vote of the stock
holders after the stock is sold and
the company formed. further rec
ommendation was that the forming
of the company and other preliminary
work be done at once.
Upon motion, which was carried,
the chair appointed a committee of
five persons. whose work it will be
to organize the company, put it on
They are to pay the expense of incor-
porating and will be the directors for
the first three months. On this COM
mittee were named Nathan Jaffa, j.
A. Cottingham, c. c. Tannehill, L. K.
McGaffey and ]. A. Graham, the Sec
retary of the Club.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the meeting that the matter should
be taken up at once. The matter of
selecting a location for the we'll will
depend on the offers of land and 9TH
er considerations that will no doubt
be made.
The company will be organized in
a few days and the committee of five
will then solicit stock subscriptions.
They were given the power to name
ten assistants in this work and their
names will be announced later.
The deep well is a big thing, not
only for Roswell, but for the whole
Valley. If oil is discovered it will
mean cheap fuel for the Valley, and
this is one of the greatest boons i'm
aginable. The many indications of
oil in this vicinity have been dwelt
upon in these columns, and the people
understand that they are of sufficient
number and strength to warrant at
least a trial.
BY taking stock the people will not
only get their money back in the ac-
tual worth of the well, in many ways,
but also stand a chance with the 9th
ers of being owners of possible oil
or gas well. 1t is a proposition that
has a sure return of the money inyes-
ted, a chance on a big stake, and at
the same time carries the public en-
terprise phase. Can any of the citi-
zens refuse to accept?

JAPAN'S SCI ENTIFIC W4RF4RE

The japanese have carried on their
war most scientifically. When the war
first broke out and while the question
of supremacy on the water was unde-
cided, they made good use of wireless
biography. BY this means the main
fleet kept in touch with it's scouts. and.
indeed, In the final conclusive battle of
last August, i'm which the Russian YES
sells left the harbor to attack a few ap-
parently unsupported Japanese vessels,
the latter called up the main Japanese
fleet, then out Of sight, but in waiting.
by means of wireless telegraphy. On
the land the Japanese have erected tel
egraph lines as they advanced, and
kept the government in Toxic in con-
slant communication with all of the
armies, and each army in touch with
the other.
To keep the commander of single
army in constant touch with his divi-
sion commanders, the telephone has
been used. AS each advance was made
or trench was dug, connections were
made with headquarters by telephone.
Thus, not only was all important infor-
nation transmitted Immediately to the
commander, but fighting was directed
from the latter point by the same
means. The commander was able to
direct the fire of the guns and to Or
der advances when the proper time
arrived, The telephone in this service

Yesterday We yentured to hint that
the restless and wicked flea might in
time be extsrminated. To-day it is our
painful duty to cast a gloomy doubt on
that pleasing prospect. DR.. Hunter is
the entomologist expert of the Agricui-
tural department. 1t has been his bush
ness to attend to the importation Of the
little cotton boll-weevil-k killing ant
from South America, and to test its
efficiency in the South. In the Farm
ers' Bulletin, No. PIG, DR.. Hunter has
made his report concerning the cotton
boil weevil. in which he says: THE
work of the bureau Of entomology for
several years has indicated that there
is not even a remote probability that
the boil weevil will ever be exterminat-
ed. AS a matter OF fact. no injurious
insect has ever been exterminated.'
No injurious insect has ever been ex-
terminated! Ominous words. and words
which those who have sought to exter-
inmate injurious insects will sadly say
are true. But let us still hope. This
winter is finally ending, when it once
seemed likely to last forever. and there
may come time when some injurious
insect may finally end.

i DfsTREss. noy4L FANNY.

1t is no fun to be a member of Rus
sia's royal family. Letters from Russia
in some OF the Vienna newspapers draw
a vivid picture of the anxfeties of the
unlucky Czarina in the present crisis.
She is represented as exposed to a com
slant strain by day and night. Much
Of her time is occupied IN consoling
her husband, and in inspiring him with
courage. She prepares food for him, as
he is in constant fear of poison, and
assists at every detail of his toilet,
since he mistrusts every act of his ser
wants; she superintends the tailor and
the laundress, as well as the barber,
and attends to every want of her irl-
FAINT son, whom she rears herself. For
merly she left but little for the nurses
to do, now, it is said, she scarcely al
lows the female attendants to approach
the child's cradle. The Gear is reported
to have greater fear for his son than
for himself. He fears that the loss of
his heir, whom he so long vainly ex-
pected, would cause the outbreak of a
revolution in every corner of the en-
pire, even among Conservatives, and on
this account every one in any way con-
nected with the imperial family is sur
rounded by hosts of spies, who are
watched in their turn. Suspicion is fol-
lowed not by investigation of the sus-
pect, but by his prompt removal. A
similar condition, it is said, prevails in
the. palaces of the grand dukes

Shape Prays Upon Minds Of Occupants
and Many Of Them Go Crazy.
The Minot Ledge Light is famed for
the number of men who have gone era
zy in it, and for that reason 1t is an
object of interest to students Of mental
diseases. 1t is, as everybody knows, a
piece of engineering of the highest or
der, being in that respect only second
to the famous Eddystone Light. More
than year was consumed in getting a
foundation for 1t, and so high are the
tides and so terrific the storms that the
entrance to the light Is more than for
ty feet above the water.
Then, one above the other, come the
five rooms occupied by the keepers and
used for storage purposes, and then the
watch room, and finally, the lantern.
The tower being circular and space
greatly in demand, naturally every
thing is made to conform, so that no
room shall be lost. Even the beds on
which the men sleep are curved, the
tables against the walls are circular
and the benches are half-moons. Eve
rything is round.
In this lighthouse there have been at
least five well marked cases Of insanity
and others in which madness has been
suspected and the men relieved from
duty. Experts in mental diseases who
have made a study of conditions at the
Minot Ledge Light attribute the unu-
sual prevalence of insanity there to it's
peculiar form of structure. There is no
point, they say, on which the eye may
rest, so it travels round and round in a
maddening whirl
They, therefore, suggest that some
means be devised for filling the curves
and producing corners and angles. In
support of their theory they cite in
stances of men who have lost their
mental balance during long confine-
ment in circular prisons, but have
quickly regained it ON being trans
ferred to an ordinary room Of corners
and angles.
Baron Trenck spent much of his time
in prison making marks and corners to
