New Mexico.
The postoficc at Nogal on the

No clue to the identity of the rob-
bers has been found.
An Otero County prospcctor
struck a flow of hot soda water in
the Eddy soda mines in the White
Sands west of Alamogordo a few
days ago. The strike is a peculiar
one and may be the means Of profit
to the soda company.
William Howard, an aged COL

near Tularosa, was found dead in
his cabin on March Sth, and it is
believed he was murdered for his

Howard was familiarity called,

Tidwell was acquitted of the muir

Governor to sift Stock Issue.

Gov. Davidson wants to know for
what purposes the Chicago & North
western Railroad company is going to
spend the money it raises on the $780,,
100000 of new stock it recently decid-
ed to issue and what rate is going to
be charged. He desires to use this
information in connection with rec
ommendation to the coming legislature
for the enactment of law prohibiting
the overcapitalization of public serv-
ice corporations. He has sent a letter
to the Wisconsin railroad commission
asking it to investigate the stock is
sue of the Northwestern and advise
him of the result as early as conven-
lent. The governor said: "The infer
ence is that the company permits ex-
listing stockholders to exercise pref
erential right to subscribe for new
stock at par, though tits worth much
larger sum in the market. The law of
the state clearly contemplates that all
stock should be issued for legitimate
purposes

Civil Service Work Told.

The Wisconsin state civil service
commission has finished an exhaustive
report to the governor of it's affairs
since its organization, on December
Is, 1905, or for period of almost a
year. 1t says that it has held four
general examinations and furnished
So lists of eligibles for appointments
to state positions. During the year
125 permanent and % temporary ap-
pointments were made from these
lists. OF the 3S3 old state employees
thrown under the protection of the law
366 passed the noncompetitiv2 exam
ination and Only II failed Those who
failed were two engineers, two factory
inspectors and Is deputy game ward
ems. The commission had 1866 appli-
cation from persons desiring state
jobs. OF these 1,274 took eXamina-
tons and 756 passed and SIS failed.
The commission recommends that the
positions in several departments of
state government be revised so that
each shall be plainly designated, that
a fund of about $4,000 be provided to
Gefray the expense of holding local
examinations where state expense is
incurred, and that some additional al
lowance be made for clerk hire in the
Office of the commission. The commits
sion has spent $S,5O1.9O of the $10,-
900 appropriated for its use. Prof.
Samuel E. Sparkling, president of the
commission, received in per diem and
expenses $553.S6; Commissioner T. ].
Cunningham, of Chippewa Falls, ST.
1887, and Commissioner Otto CAT
from, of Plymouth, $1,1S9.S2. The
commissioners are limited in their per
diem pay to $1,000 a year. The COM
mission announced that general
competitive examination for stem
ographic and typewritlng positions will
be held in each assembly district on
Saturday, December Is. 1t will be
open to both men and women. The
commission says that the number of
men who passed the examinations pre-
viously held was not sufficient to fill
all the legislative positions that will
be open when the Legislature con-
venes next January. Only males are

be better to send the whole match in
dustry to the bottom of the ocean and
go back to flints and firesticks than
to drive young girls into the gutter.
My award is that you pay what they

bled, but he obeyed the order. He
did not close his factory, and his bust
ness continued to prosper. The
judges little speech embodies both
the underlying principle of all New
Zealand's progressive legislation and
the spirit in which it is administered
the welfare of the worker is of
more Importance than the profits Of
the employer. And therein is a COM
plete overturn of all our worldwide
and time-old convictions, methods and
ideals Any civilization which holds
to that conviction and enforces it with
all the enginery of its government is
a new thing under the sun. For it is
a civilization that is based not on
commercial success and greatness but
on humanity.

Failure of Cooperative Stores.

In report issued by Labor Commits
sioner j. d. Beck, cooperative stores
in the United States are pronounced
almost a total failure. The report
says: There are at present 343 CO.
operative stores in the United States.
California having the largest number,
g. Wisconsin occupies third place
with 80 stores. These 343 stores have
a membership of 76,146 persons. In
this country cooperative distribution
has been marked by almost total fail
ure. The greatest cause for the fail
ure was collapse of the labor and farm
movements which gave the system
birth and the lack of business knowl-
edge. The stores never were thorough
ly organized and nearly always lacked
the support of the wholesale house
from which they could obtain their
supplies. Department stores, trading
stamp schemes, and the low prices
of mail order houses all aided in the
downfall of cooperative stores. Fur
thermOre, conditions in this country,
tie individuality of our people, their
changing employment and impetuous
nature which looks to speculation
rather than to conservative investment
are opposed to the spirit of coopera-
ton. Free libraries, public lectures,
university extension courses, savings
banks, building and loan associations
and insurance policies take the place
in this country which the cooperative
store occupies in Europe. Many of
the above causes are being removed
to-day by the. evolution in the indus
trial world. Recent organizations are
upon much firmer basis. Cooperative
wholesale houses are being established
in the Mississippi valley and on the
Pacific coast. But, above all, the
growth of social fellowship and union
ism upon a solid foundation, only pos
sible in recent years, together with a
thorough business knowledge, will
serve to give greater stability in the
future If such stores enjoy perma-
nent success it will be solely as a
business proposition, for it is now APP
parent that no lasting, effective re-
form of the industrial situation in this
country can ever be accomplished by
the application of cooperative doc
trines."

in which is told the old love of a
beautiful widow for her dead husband
and her newer love for another man in
the flesh. Jock Dering, the hero, was

Miss Rives was denounced by some
persons as rather imprudent writer,
but that didn't keep her book, which
appeared in 1886, from having a ire
mendous sale. Her marriage to young
Mr.. Chanler only added to its popular
ity. She was beautiful, cratic, i'm

realize that there was nothing in

An ex-judge of the arbitration court
in New Zealand told me this story,
says the Craftsman: The girls in
match factory came before the court
asking for an increase of wages. The
proprietor said he could not pay what
they wanted, that his enterprise was
in its infancy and to increase the
wages would ruin it. The court heard
the evidence on both sides, studied
the financial condition of the business
and cost of living in the city, and then
the judge said to the proprietor: ct
is impossible for these girls to live de-
Gently and BEAUTIFULLY on the wages
that you are now paying. 1t is of the
utmost Importance, not only to them
but to the state, that they should have

Chanler, who has a fortune of 81, 000,O
wants to get control of it. But the
courts of New York say he is insane
and not competent. His legal resi-

And there the courts have decided
that he is perfectly sane and able to
manage his estate.
There are forty-five states in the

four of them without the slightest
danger to his personal liberty. But
should he set foot in the sovereign

be clapped into lunatlc asylum, be-
