A MIRACULOUS CURE.

The following statement by H. M.
Adams and wife, Henerietta, Pa, will
interest parents and others. A
miraculous cure has taken place IN our
home. Our child had eczema 5 years

concluded to try it. Before the second
bottle was all taken we noticed a
change for the better, and after taking
7 bottle he was completely cured. =
It's the up-to-date blood medicine and
body building tonic. Guaranteed.

Retail liquo, dealers have been
notified to prepare to comply with
the restrictions placed upon them by
the new pure food law which goes into
effect on Jan. l. Among other things
it provides that j. shall be the duty of
liquor dealers to label every bottle
from which liquor is sold at retail.
The decanters on the back bar and
from which whisky is sold by the glass,
or wines, etc.. shall be labeled. These
labels must tell exactly the brand of
the beverages. If it is pure, blended,
adulterated, rye, corn, or whatever
it might be. The fine for the viola
ton of this provision of the pure food
law is heavy. In addition to the
labelling of the contents of the de-
canters and other vessels, where
whisky is sold by the quart or pint,
each bottle must carry labels certify
ing to the fact that it is full quart
or pint.

City Council Proceedings.

At a special meeting on Tues
day night the following was done:
An ordinance was adopted re-
quiring the owners of lots on the
north side of West Evelyn street,
beginning at the Smith building
on the square and extending west
to and including the block upon
which the Methodist church is
situated, to put in, within sixty
days, cement sidewalks. Said
sidewalks are to be four feet in
width and in material, place and
finish conform to the ruling of
the Council street committee.
When this is done the Council
proposes to put in the necessary
street crossings.
A like order was also made for
similar sidewalks beginning on
the Hutson corner of the square
and running west so as to include
the Methodist parsonage block
and with the understanding, as
in the first instance. that so soon
as completed the City will, at its
own expense, put in the connect
ing street crossings.
W. H. Hicks was allowed
1858. % for hauling rock and gray
ell on the square. The amount
hauled so far was figured at
1,9O7, 122 pounds, and cost the
city at from 81 ID to - cents per
yard of 1900 pounds weight,
Bills aggregating SS4 were al
lowed J. a. Edwards. W. +. Bates
and J. H. Dunbar for the rock
and gravel and some SIS was al
lowed for labor in getting out
rock, breaking same and placing
gravel on the square.
All Of this work has been ac-
complished by the City authori-
ties at a very reasonable price
and, as previously stated in these
columns, it is, in the opinion OF

Apple Orchard Enlarged.

J. r. lowell has bought 100
acres adjoining the piece of
ground he bought last week and
will also put this additional tract
in apple trees. The contract has
been let to l.. p. Landrum, pro-
prietor of the Hereford nursery,
to furnish the trees and to plant
them. This makes 200 acres of
land in his apple orchard and it
will be the largest of its kind in
the Panhandle. With a few more
hundred acre orchards, it will
only be short time until Here
ford will be the most prosperous
fruit growing and largest ship
ping points in the West. How
much this means to this commu-
nifty there is no way of telling

Why Don't They Advertise?

The News is in receipt of two

is the matter that your land men

ope and will kindly ask you to

vertise with the local paper"
The other letter is also from a
business man desiring informa-
ton of the same character. He
says he had searched diligently
only to find one land agent men
toned in The News"
Why don't they advertise:
This is the question that has oft
en- puzzled The News editor and
he must put it up to them-"the
land men," for reply.

sidewalks within thirty days. In
the business part of town these
sidewalks are to be 10 feet wide
and in the residence portion 1
feet. The News seriously doubts
the expediency of this ordinance.
1t is too radical in its character.
The better plan, it seems to US,
is to take it as we do in Canyon
City-consult the property own
ers affected and let a majority
decide whether or not they want
the sidewalks.

LONGING FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

"A strange thing is the univer-
sal longing Of professional men
and others who have come to the
city and have prospered as they
advance in life to get back to the
country" remarks the Baltimore
Sun. And continuing that paper
further says;
1T is seldom that they do re-
turn, and when they do there is
often disappointment and things
do not appear as they did long
ago. The change is in the man
himself, but he thinks it is in the
country. Nevertheless, the de-
sire to get back to the old coun-
try place to end ones days is
very general. Sir Walter Scott
refers to it and compares the
course of a man through the
world to that of a hare which
started from her lair and after a
long chase and making a large
circle ends by returning to the
nest from which she started"
Informed in holy writ that man
is of the earth and that by immu-
table decree unto the earth he
must per force return, why is it
strange that in his declining
years he should seek that close
communion with nature offered
by the So-called solitudeS of ru-
raj life: Well has the Scotch
bard said:
On life, how pleasant is thy morning,
Young fancy rays the hills adorning'
Cold-pausing cautions lesson scorn-
ing,
We frisk away.
Like school boys. at the expected
warning.
To JOY or play.
Such is youth until sobered by
experience with the inward rela-
tons of life: its mad rush for
wealth, power and position and
its all too little regard for the
less fortunate mortals who per-
ish in the unequal strife Well
has another poet said;
what is life?
A gulf Of troubled waters-where
the soul.
Like a veX'd bark. is toss'd upon the
waves
Ofpain and pleasure by the WAIVER
ing breath.
Ofpassions."
Why then strange, that nor
NAL man, when full of years and
ripe with a knowledge of the Vi
cissitudes of that commercialism
whose one rule is the survival OF
the strong, should turn his
thoughts to the country where,
in that simple life, surrounded
by natures choicest blessings,
he may seek that peace which
passeth human understanding:

BASE BALL.
Roswell and Canyon City Cross Bats
on the Local Diamond and Play
interesting Games.

Promptly at t p. IN. on We'd
nesday afternoon Umpire Little
field cried play ball" and the
second series of games between
New Mexico Military Institute
and Canyon teams was on.
Things soon looked "squally"
for our home team, for the first
three visitors up scored and
many face wore any but a pleas
ant look, excepting, of course,
the genial countenances of the
Roswell boys. Canyon failed to
score in the last half Of the first
inning and there was nothing
doing" for either team until the
last half of the third, when Can
yon scored twice. Things drag
ged along then to the last half of
the sixth, when Herman, the
man from Michigan" who had
| just arrived after a tiresome over
! land trip from Amarillo, swatted
the first ball "Hefty" Hester
handed him for a safe hit. Ken
ningharn scored on an error of
the visitors and the score was
tied. But alas, In the eighth
Roswell ran up the indicator two
more and despite the efforts of
the home team, the ninth inning
closed with the score, Roswell );
Canyon 3. Much credit is due
Wicker for his excellent work, he
having struck out II to Hester's ).
SECOND GAME.
The second game of the series
was the prettiest game of ball
ever seen on the home diamond,
not even excepting the great
game with Amarillo last year
when old Lady" gave them a
shut out. It looked like a dupli-
cate of that memorable game un-
/ til the seventh inning, when the
visitors chased around for four
scores, tieing Canyons score and
then doubling it. 1t looked
'squally," mighty "squally"
again as they went into the ninth
inning with the score t to > in
Roswell's favor, but old lady,
Mitchell's rule. never to give up
until the last ball has been pass
ed. seemed to be in vogue and
| Canyon tied the score by making
two runs. In the first half of the
tenth Mitchell retired the visi-
tors in one, two and three order
and then came their Waterloo
when Young scored.
The features of the game were
the fielding of the visitors and
the exceptionally fine work of
Mitchell, Wicker, Young, Bell
and Hunnicut. In fact every
member of the home team played
well. as did all the visitors.
Out of the first six of the visi-
tors up Mitchell only struck out
four, which was mighty bad-for
the visitors. Mitchell struck
out / I men during the game, al
lowing only two hits, while Crow
ell and Hester struck out { and
and allowed 9 hits.
Nothing but words of praise
can be said Of the gentlemanly
| Roswell boys. They are as clean
and honest a set of fellows as
ever graced a diamond and they
''play some ball. too

BIG SHAKEUP IN NEW YORK
Court of Appeals Declares that Last
Legislative Appointment f.
|. Invalid.

ALBANY, N. Y, April s-The entire
apportionment of legislative districts made
by the last New York Legislature is over
thrown as unconstitutional by the court
OF appeals in a decision handed down to-
day. The court reverses the judgments OF
the courts below, which had sustained the
act.
The decision does not AFFECT the person.
mel nor invalidate the acts of the present
legislature. but political relations and align
ments in every part OF the state made to
suit the new conditions have been thrown
into confusion. Formerly influential poll
ticians who we're supposed to be killed po-
litically by last years apportionment re-
turn to the field OF influence. Far seeing
politicians here say that Il is impossible
to calculate the consequence OF the decision
which they describe as political earth
quake"
1t is generally believed here tonight that
the decision may prolong throughout May
and perhaps into June the session OF the
legislature because Of the necessity OF
enaoting a new apportionment, the court
holding that unless this is done the next
election for members OF either house must
be held under the apportionment laid down
In the appoTtionment OF 1895. which the
reapportonment act of 1906 was intended
to supersede
