Miss Laura Lester Dead.
l.. S. Correspondent.

The sad intelligence has reached
Florence of the death of Miss Laura
Lester on December %, 1905, at Dem
ing, New Mexico.
Her father, Capt. John II. Lester, is
a native of Lauderd9le county, where
he has many relatives and devoted
friends who profoundly sympathize
with him in mis- second sorrow which
has visited this household; his wife
having proceeded her daughter to the
grave just three months,
During the Civil War Capt. Lester
saw distinguished service in the Con-
federate my, and was noted for his
bravery and daring.
After the war he returned to Dem
ing, New Mexico, where he married.
Miss Laura was born at Deming on
March %. 1888, and as the years of her
young life unfolded she became the idol
of her home circle and friends.
For four years past she has been a
sufferer from heart trouble which
eventually caused her death. She was
devout member Of the Presbyterian
church, and was willing and glad to
obey the summons which called her to
the higher life.
To her father Capt. Lester, and the
sorrowing brothers and sisters, we
tender our heartfelt sympathy in their
great afiliction. Florence (Ala, Times.

The Coming Of Oxygen.

Yet another scientific discovery which
promises an early revolution in general
industry is announced. NJ. George
Claude, famous French experimental
ist, has, it is stated, succeeded in sep
arating oxygen and nitrogen from liquid
air in such way that both these e!e.
ments are obtained pure and free from
each other. This is done by transform
ing liquid air (Profesfor Dewar's dis.
covery) back into the gaseous state, in
the process of which the oxygen and
nitrogen evaporate at different stages
and may be captured. 1t is declared
that by this means abundant oxygen
may be cheaply obtained, and by its
use temperatures of degree hitherto
impossible in manufacturing processes
may be made available, Al compara-
lively small cost metal may he made
to run like water" and complete
change in the lighting of houses may be
cheaply affected. Pure oxygen may be
used in fires, smoke abolished, and the
air Of towns wholesomely refrigerated.

Denver Stock Convention.

You will see the greatest gathering
Of stockmen here at the coming con-
ventions and stock show the last of the
month that ever gathered in Denver
or any other town." said General Man
ager George w. Ballantine Of the I'm
ion stockyards yesterday. "There will
be 1000 stockmen here from western
Colorado alone, he continued, "and
here Of crowds coming from every di-
rection. The fact that the public land
question is coming up for settlement
seems to be the principal factor that is
bringing them in, though there is great
interest in the stock show and the
other important matters coming up.
The eyes of the live stock world all
over the country are jnst now turned
on Denver. 1t is generally realized
that the discussion of he public land
problems will probably be final, as
President Roosevelt has taken an ad.
vanced position in the matter and has
passed his word that if the stockmen
do not get together and agree congress
will probably act without their advice.
This is vital question with the range
stockmen. and it is believed that they
will reach some conclusion at this meet
ing as to the kind Of plan for the fu-
ture control of grazing of the public
lands that will work the least hardship
and will promise the best results.
General Manager Petrie is arranging
for full house at the stockyards dur
ing the week of January 20. There
will be some strictly fancy feeder cat
tie shown in the competition and some
of the largest cattle feeders in the
country will be here to buy the prize
winners, most of which will go on feed
to be put in shape for the big Eastern
shows next fall.

BlissfulI January Forecasts.

The following came a little late for a
January forecast, but it came long
way, and was stalled in the snow for
week:
January 1906, will come in on wash
day, and stay in 81 days with the usual
atmospherical and meteorological phe-
nomena. This month being the first of
the year is quite important as it is the
month when the year starts in life. The
future career of 1906 may depend much
on the start given in the month of Jan
uary. The disposition and temper of
the year may be ruined by unwise and
inconsiderate treatment. 1t should be
taught during the month of January
to keep its little footsteps in the
straight and narrow path; to say
please" when it wants anything and
thank you" when it is the recipient
OF favor. We have seen many a
young and tender year spoiled in the
beginning of its career by too much in
diligence.
There will be no picnic weather in
January, no daisies red and violets blue,
or tulip buds of scarlet hue. no robins
nesting in the trees, or blackbirds
swinging in the breeze. Ethereal mild
ness will not come or blossom on the
hills, by guml The bursting buds will
not be seen, but busted pipes instead,
! ween. We will not see in meadows
fair the butter-cup or cowslips there,
but though twill not be be quite so
nice, Wen see the COW slip on the ice.
Il really think, twixt you and |, that
jokes enough to kill hyO
In January it will snow, it always
has, that's why | know, and blizzards
from the arctic zones will freeze the
marrow in your bones. The winter
winds will howl full sore and rattle at
the kitchen door God pity then the
luckless sire whose wife declines to
build the fire. To all young men just
newly wed, take my advice and stay in
bed until YOU know your loving spouse
mas built fire and warmed the house.
If you begin your married life by build
ing fires for your wife, just take my
word, you'll live to rue it, for she will
always make you do it!-A. NJ. l..

First in North America.

In 1911, Sir Thos. Gates brought from
Devonshire and Herefordshire, 100
head of cattle which he unloaded from
shipboard at the infant English settle
ment of jamestown, in what was soon
to be known as the Colony of Virginia.
Great was the significance of this
event, second only to the coming of
man himself for it was the beginning
of the live stock industry in the United
States. In 1924 Francis Winslow
brought three hefers and bull to
Massachusetts AMI il was the descend
ants of these that furnished food in
later years to the scantily fed settlers
of the New England colonies. 1t should
be remembered that at this early period
there were no thoroughbreds or i'm
proved breeds known in England or
elsewhere, all the cattle brought over
being of common stock, such as had
wandered over European countries from
the dawn of civilization. 1t was not
until long afterward that careful Sc
lecting and painstaking methods
brought forth the magnificent breeds
now so famiiar and constituting the
pride and glory Of the great western
renuhlic

A strange bit OF news comes from
Gallup. The Carbon City is suffering
from a coal famine and its people are
depending on the wood brought by the
Navajos for fuel to keep them warm.
Gallup has produced as high as half a
million tons Of coal a year and can pro.
duce a million and more tons annually
Out Of late a number of its mines nave
been closed down because OF the compe.
tltion of California oil, and on account
of difficulties of the independent oper.
ators with the Santa Fe Railway Sys-
TEN, To be shivering for want of coal
in New Mexico with its billion and a
half Of tons Of coal in sight in its coal
fields, is like dying of thirst in flood
1t is condition that could be easily
remedied if coal mine operators and
railroads would work hand in hand.
Circumstances like those of the present
coal famine bring many recruits to the
government ownership or control of
railroads" idea. S. F. New Mexican.

out of the Office window he noticed a
thousand crows cleaning w. the town.
He asked if these were the only scav.

him they were all we needed; that when
they left in the spring the town was
clean, and not cents expense to any
one. He informed the Graphic man
that in the East every town of any size
had a creamery for disposing of the
garbage. As soon as we recovered
consciousness, we sought to further in.
terrogate him about the matter, but
we were curtly informed, as he passed
out into the cold world. that we we're
fifty years behind the age in Deming,
that creamery was for cremating
garbage, and that our ignorance Of
that fact was inexcusable.
