INFANTS FED To sEtsrINI>
New Born Babes Sacrificed In In
dian Take Wor~hiu.

Ell Paso. Texas, May - In spite
OF the fact thar similar charge
was investigated aud dismissed by
grand jury some dime ago. another
complaint has been filed with Uni
ted States District Attorney Level
lyu of New Mexico against a tribe
of Indians in that country who are
said to worship an enormous ser.
pent which is fed new born babes
and Is carefully attended and guar
ded
The complaint was filed by a
dozen families were segregated from
several pueblas two years ago and
formed into a puebla by themselves.
Although 1t is known that many
children have been born to these
families, not a child is to be found
in the puebla.
This led the priest to press his In
vestigations, with the result that he
discovered that in an abode hut, iso-
lated and closely guarded is an enor-
nous serpent which is worshiped by
the Indians of all the pueblas around
and that every babe born in the
smaller puebla. and, it is suspected,
in many others, is fed to the serpent.
Major Lewellyn, having no juris-
diction. has filed the affidavit of the
priest and other evidence with the
territorial authorities.

Eces r1o@5r Than Pigeons.

1t is No; generally known that bees
are swifter in fight than pigeons-that
is, for short distances. Some years ago a
pigeon fancier of Hamme, Westphalia,
laid a wager that a dozen bees liberat-
ed three miles from their hive would
reach home in less time than dozen
pigeons. The competitors were given
wing at Rybern, village nearly a
league from Hamme, and the first bee
reached the hive a quarter Of minute
in advance of the first pigeon. Three
other bees reached the goal before the
second pigeon. The bees were also
slightly handicapped, having been roll
ed in -four before starting for purpose
Of identification.

RAILROADS WILL OBEY.
Those of Illinois to Install Two
Cent Passenger Rate July L.

I
Chicago, May 29.-The Illinois
railroads will obey, temporarily at
least, the new &c passenger law and
will put the rates in effect July 1,
but after that none can say what
will be done. A canvass Of the pas
senger men of the Illinois lines yes
terday showed that they all believed
that the rates would have to go IN
to effect and that it would be mat
ter of subsequent development
whether or not a concerted attack
was made upon the constitutionallty
of the measure.
1t is likely, however, that If none
of the big roads decide to contest
the law some of the smaller roads,
to which the new rates are SAID 10
mean bankruptcy, will begin ac-
ton in the courts. Officials or the
Alton, however, declare there Will
be an appeal to the courts. The law
is applicable to all lines alike WIN
out favor to any, and should one
road attack the law successfully 1t
would fail as to all roads.
During all of the conferences
which the railroad representatives
had with Governor Deneen and with
the legislative committees they de-
clared that if a straight cent la"
went into effect there would be
bitter fight in the courts and they
meant in all other western states
where a &c law had been passed the
railroads have decided TO put the
new rates into effect and then watch
their operation for a time and their
effect upon the revenues of the va
rious roads. Ii is expected that this
same plan will be followed IN llli-
nois.

Some funny things often happen to
public officials. Monday evening the
telephone bell rang in the residence
of Mayor Ward. His Honor happened

the phone.
Charles Houghton, secretary of the
Yeomen lodge at this place, received
a draft last week, in full payment of
the amount claimed by James
Kinsella under a policy for $1,000,
which Mrs. KinselIa carried in that
order. This will assist Mr.. Kinsella
a good deal in caring for his mother
less children. 1t was thought for
some time, that, legally, nothing
could be collected under the policy,
but that order does not bubble on
technicalities, but pays promptly and
fairly. This might have been paid a
month earlier if the proofs had not
been delayed by blockades in North
Dakota.
That rural free delivery carriers do
some business is witnessed by the
fact that during the quarter end
ing March 81 the outgoing mail
matter handled by the carriers on the
eight routes was as follows: registered

totaled: registered letters, 20; letters,

The local owners of automobiles
have been getting their machines out
within the past fortnight, and exer-
cising them. The weather has been
pretty cold and windy for really en-
joyable pleasure riding, but the roads
are in good condition for this time of
the year, so that with wrapping up
well people get the air. r. l.. Palmer
took his machine out Saturday night
for the first time since last Fall, and
gave The Herald man a spin around
town and out into the country for
mile or SO.
Fires in this immediate vicinity
have been quite frequent during the
past week. The country along the
Northern Pacific road in the direction
of Little Falls, was pretty thoroughly
burned over on Saturday and Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon fire got started
in the G. A. R. cemetery east of the
city and did some damage by discolor-
ing the monuments and headstones.
AS the grass was long and dry and
there were a great many dead leaves
on the ground the fire spread with
great rapidity and was extremely
difficult to control.
1t is rumOred that we'll known
gentleman who spends his Sundays
regularly here had the time of his life
attempting to locate his better half
recently. He spent some time tele-
phoning to an adjoining town trying
to locate her, and then, when the boys
had carried the joke far enough, his
dearly beloved, who was in the plot,
appeared smiling before her anxious
spouse, who was overjoyed to discover
her. 1t is reported that he has lost
few grains of faith in the telephone as
reliable means of communication.
If you should chance to run across
him just ask him to buy the cigars;
he'll not refuse.
The people OF Sank Centre were
treated to good performance of the
Gilbert and Sullivan opera "The
Mikado," last Friday evening by
travelling aggregation of an even dozen
singers known as the "Beggar Prince
Opera Company" The opera house
was comfortably filled with a repre-
sentative audience. all of whom enjoy
ed the presentation of the old-time ia
vorite. For SO small company the
opera was very we'll presented. OF
course, the choruses were light, but
the leading parts were we'll sung and
acted. The tenor lacked a good deal
of being what tenor should be, but
his deficiency was more than made up
by the basso who was really and truly
"profundo." In fact, so full and rich
bass is rarity. "Yum Yum" was
both petite and tuneful, and acted and
sung her part in an artistic manner.
The other two of the "Three Little
Maids from School" made the trio
we'll nigh irresistible. "Pooh Bah"
was admirably taken, as was the
Mikado. The honors among the male
singers undoubtedly went to the "Lord
High Executioner" who sang we'll and
acted even better, keeping the audience
convulsed with his funny antics.
Take it all in all the presentation was
excellent, and should the company
come this way again it would be
cordially greeted.

LEAF LARD THAT IS Pure LEAF

ARMOUR'S "SIMON
PURE" fits the new
meat and food laws to a
dot. The "U. S. inspect
ed and passed" stamp is
not put on "lesf lard"
unless the lard is pure
leaf. But the y. S.
stamp on lard pack
age does not guarantee
leaf unless the label
also say "leaf." And Teaf"
label is no guaranty unless the
U. S. stamp is there too; look
for both. The U. S. seal is on
Armour's "simon pure" leaf
lard.
For your protection, this lard
is put up in sealed tin pals
wthrees," five" and ten.'o
The government seal is on a
strip across the top with that
seal intact and with Armour's
"simon pure" label on the pail,
you know you get perfect leaf
lard, exactly as it was put up
and sealed under the U. S. in
spector's eye. The air tight
pail keeps out dust, air and
contamination of every kind.
Cost more then ordinary lard?
Yes and is worth more. Goes
farther and always satisfies.
