THE FATE OF MRS. ROGERS.

Mrs Mary Rogers, the Vermont
woman convicted of the murder of her
husband. having made unavailine ap-
peal to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States has been sentenced by Gov
ernor Bell to hang on December 10.
NO doubt another effort will be made
to save the woman from the extreme
penalty and it remains to be seen
whether the governor will yield to the
entreaties. Mrs. Rogers, so the evil

band to a lonely spot in the woods
and with the assistance of another
man chlorOformed and bound him, and
cast him into the river to drown. she
was convicted and sentenced to hang
Strong pressure was brought to bear
on Governor Bell to induce him to COM
mute her sentence. He was besieged
by delegations and overwhelmed by
petitions. His action in insisting that
the sentence of the court be carried
to the country Gov. Bell stood firm
until the case was taken, temporarily,
out of his hands and carried to the
supreme court. The supreme court
promptly affirmed the sentence and
the governor set the date of Mrs. ROg-
ers' execution for December IS. 1t

the east that the execution of a wom-
an, is looked upon as something re-
Voting and barbarous, it may go a
good ways in abolishing the extreme

OF DOUBTFUL BENEFIT.

The Yellowstone Journal, of Miles
City, while heartily endorsing the &C
ton of the Helena Business Mems
association in standing by President
Roosevelt in his efforts to secure rail
road rate legislation, and in urging CO.
operation it does not think that the
question of calling a special session
OF the legislature should be joined with
the endorsement of the president. The
Journal is little skeptical as to the
benefits that would acrcue to the peo-
rle of this state through a railroad
commission. If the personnel of such
a commission was of the right sort,
and if the office was not looked upon
as a political sinecure such COM
mission might prove of some benefit to
the people of this state. AS to this
feature of the Helena agitation our con-
temporary has the following comment
to make:
at is reported that at the Helena
meeting there was also considerable
enthusiasm evinced over plan to have
tbs same state convention take &C
ton in favor of special session of
the legislature to be called for the en-
actment of a railroad commission law
II does not appear to this paper that
such a purpose ought to be linked
with the endorsement of the presi-
dent. It is not probable that there is
anything like as unanimous a feel
ing on this subject as on the other
There are reasonable doubts as to the
efficacy of a railroad commission
In cases where good and competent
men have been secured, the results
have been promising, but not always
satisfactory and in other cases where
the positions have been politically dis
posed of the results have been unsat
isfactory and moreover it is a COM
mon belief that if commission does
not go after the railroads roughshod
and keep after them all the time, it
has been won over by the railroads,
bers are bOr1lers AS this paper has
before remarked in discussing this
subject our prominent men are main
~ allied to corporation or railroad in
terests in a business way, and as it
is among this class that the commits
siOners would be sought and found,
we believe it to be fact that such
commissioners would find it very hard
work to look some issues that might
come before them. squarely in the
face. A bad commission, or bias
ed commission would do worse than
none at all. Do we want to disturb
the harmony of a Roosevelt ratifica-
ton meeting with question like
this?"

il is out of the question for the gov

masmuch as the readers Of The
Record have had their attention so
frequently called to the merits of dis
titled water. 1 beg leave to quote be
low, in part, an article appearing In
the National Bottlers' Gazette.
The subject is discussed from a
scientific standpoint by a scientific
man. Mr.. Max Gessler, of Milwaukee.
Wis. is its author:
Distilled or Filtered Water.
ITO the Editor: / have read with
interest your articles on distilled wa
ter in your last two issues, and while
from a scientific point hey are well
written, 1 am inclined to believe that
they are misleading and impractical
BILE.
Misleading. because they imply
that the water best adapted for the
bother in the manufacture of his vol
tied goods. is distilled water, which
is untrue, as any practical bother will
tell you. will admit that water
just coming from a still is pure wa
Ter (H2O). Yet distilling water is
changing water into steam, then o.
densing it, thus depriving it OF its
natural salts and gases, which makes
it unpalatable and fiat. These salts
are necessary for vitalizing and en-
riching the blood. The blood holds
certain natural salts in solution
which are absolutely necessary to
good health and which are drawn
chiefly from the water we drink. Dis
titled water (having been disposses-
sed of these saIts) abSorbs the salts
of the system. thus robbing instead
of supplying. Distilled water is dead
water and when left exposed to the
air readily takes up new germs which
multiply very rapidly. We mention
this. not that we believe the bother
cares whether there are d million
germs. more or less in a bottle of
pop. but to correct a wrong impress
SIGN many have in regard to the
healthfulness Of distilled water"
We want our patrons n h gen
eral public TO know that Distilled Wa
ter is not used by the Roswell Bot
Ting Works. Respectfully,

COOP YEAR TO RAISE SEED.
W. w. Elliott, of Dexter. Gives Some
Advice to Those Who Have.
Alfalfa.

w. w. Elliott, Of Dexter was in
the city today and while in CONVEX
sation with a Record reporter gave
out some strong reasons why the far
mers should raise seed on their alfaI-
ia. He said.
The farmers of the Pecos Valley
could do unusually well by raising
a crop of seed on their alfalfa, and
this is especially true this year. The
merchants say hat the old crop
is practically exhausted now, and the
seed for fall sowing must all be rails
ed this year. Alfalfa seed is now
selling at 16 cents per pound, and
that is a good price even if the fall
demand puts it no higher. From the
amour of new and that is going into
mand for alfalfa seed this fall. There
fore | can see no reason why there
will not be good money in one crop
of seed this year.
The alfalfa now has two weeks
the start of average years and this
will permit the first cutting to come
two weeks earlier. That will make
the second crop just right for seed,
and if the econd crop is saved for
seed, there will still be time for three
more crops of hay this year.
Alfalfa will yield from 100 to 300
pounds of seed to the acre. per cut
ting. and eve at 100 pounds. at 10
cents. it will be a richly paying crop.
And alfalfa that is thrashed is not
wasted. 1t is relished more than or
binary alfalfa hay by stock, for some
unknown reason, and thus even one
cutting of the hay is not lost, entire
ly. 1t looks to me like the best thing
the farmers IA do this year is to-
let heir second crop of alfalfa go to
seed"
