Running from Chills and
Fever.

Mr.. Oscar Gerst, Of Edna,
Tex, whom we mentioned last
week as being in the city, bought
a fine body of farming land, en-
bracing some 800 acres, while
here. The land lies near where
the artesian well is being drilled.
Mr.. Gerst intends moving his
family to this country in a few
months. He says chills and few
er prevail pretty bad down where
he lives and it will afford him no
little satisfaction to get out here
in this pure, dry air. We will be
glad have to Mr.. Gerst with us and
trust he will bring a lot of his
friends and neighbors along with
him when he moves here.

Plant Cantaloupes.

1t has been demonstrated that
cantaloupes thrive luxuriantly
in the famous Mimbres Valley
ard we would advise our farmers
to plant a good sized acreage TO
the luscious melons. A little la
ter on when the country is more
settled it would be a practical
step to form an association and
have melons grown extensively
enough to ship out of here in car
load lots. Melon growing in time
will be a fine industry here. The
climate and the soil we have and
with the putting of water on the
land this crop will be among
the many other kinds that will
be raised in the Mimbres Valley.

A FATAL
SHOOTING
Frank Watkins, a Promi-
nent Young Ranchman,
Killed.

The town was startled last
Tuesday evening by the terrible
report that Frank Watkins, a
popular young stockman of this
section of country, had been
shot and instantly killed by VIM.
Gibson, a neighbor stockman
who is also well known in this
country. The shooting occurred
at / O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
on a stream known as Walnut
creek, which is some 25 miles
from Hachita, a small point on
the Southwestern, Hachita being
35 miles southwest Of Deming.
There are many conflicting
reports Of the shooting and the
number engaged in the tragedy.
The real cause of the deplorable
affair, however, as near as we can
learn, was a dispute over the
ownership of certain range
which Watkins and Gibson both
claimed. The ranches of the
two parties are ten miles apart,
and on the afternoon of the
fatal shooting they met while
each was accompanied by several
friends. Some reports say that
the parties scattered behind big
boulders skirting the creek as
soon as they met up and began
shooting. In peering over the
top of the large rock he was be-
hind Watkins was struck by a
ball from Gibson's Winchester
almost in the center of his fore
head and instantly killed, the
shct producing a terrible wound.
The other participants in the
fight escaped injury.
The body of the unfortunate
man was brought to Deming and
taken to Mahoney's undertaking
parlors, where it was prepared
for burial, and is being held for
the arrival Of a sister of deceas.
ed, who resides in Texas, before
being inferred.
The deceased was the son Of
AL Watkins, one of the prominent
and wealthy stockmen of New
Mexico who has resided in this
country for many years;
was "a years old and unmarried.
The young man had a wide ac-
quaintance who held him in high
esteem and who most deeply de-
plore his tragic death.
VIM. Gibson is 40 years old,
is married and has been well
known as a leading stockman of
this country for some fifteen
years. AS the trouble occurred
in Grant county, Gibson has been
placed in the jail at Silver City
to await his hearing.

HOUSEKEEPING A FINE ART.

Domestic Schemes Recognized Course
In Several Of the Great Universities.
The gift Of nearly half million dol
lars to Columbia university for the es-
tablishment Of well equipped school
Of domestic science marks a long stride
in the perfecting Of an educational In
stitution intended to give women the
special training and broader culture
demanded by the complex conditions
of twentieth century life, says the
Kansas City Star. What with the de-
mands of social life and literary broad
ening the average American woman Of
today has fallen far short of the do
nestle accomplishments possessed by
her grandmother and makes but poor
showing as housekeeper when compar-
ed with the English, French and Ger
man women.
In Europe housekeeping Is a fine art
not beneath the dignity Of even crown
ed heads. The queen Of England IL an
accomplished buttTmaker In Den
mark every girl is expected to become
mistress Of all the details of practical
starting at the very bot
tom Of the ladder. The daughter Of
the democratic Danish minister Of
agriculture is today acting as cook gen.
eral in Berlin family, where at the
same time she is learning German.

Almost Too Honest.

Yes" said the railway claim1

some times. The queerest thing IN ms
experience was the case Of a Methodist
minister. How honest those Methodists|
are-the most honest Of all sects.
This man was hurt in q rear-en6|
collision. and we gave him $4,000 dam
ages. At the end Of a year we got q
letter from him that ran something
like this:
my salary is $4,000. and the ac-
cident caused me to lose it for al
twelvemonth. My medical expenses
We're $3.50. My board at a mountain|
sanitarium for six months was $500
Other expenses due to this accident1
were, in round numbers, $1,000. Total
$4,000. You gave me $4,000. Now 4
am back in the pulpit again as we'll

of your money on my hands. Not
being entitled to that sum, I do what
any other Methodist minister would
do in my place. return the money to-
you as per check enclosed
How was that for honesty?' said
the claims agent. "The Methodists
are a wonderful lot. We sent the $500
back to this honest minister and he
gave it to charity in our name.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the disease dportion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous linz
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infiamed you have a runl-3
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and.
when it Is entirely closed. Deafness IS
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever nine, cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

COURT : Bank annex
Chicago Judge Has a Plan to
Teach His Wards in the
Ways of Thrift
PAsssook GOES WITH PAROLE
Union Trust Company Of Chicago Will
Give Five Dollar "Nest Egg" With
Each Promise to Rsform--At Least
So Per Month to 30 Deposited.

So Per Month to Be Deposited.
A Savings bank apnex' to the
branch Of the municipal court in Chi
cago presided over by Judge Cleland
was announced recestly by the judge
as an additional means Of reform he'll
out to unfortunates who come before
him, says the Chicago Tribune. The
plan is the result Of conferences which
Judge Cleland has held with officers
Of the Union Trust company.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby any person paroled by thu.
court will have started for him saw
ings account with the bank Of the

the person to whom It applies will moi.
violate the parole and wall deposit to
his own account at least 81 each
month. The amount deposited may
not be withdrawn until the end Of the
year
The measure has been worked out by
Judge Cleland and F. L. WIKI, vice
president of the bapk The plan 10 IN
tended to encourage thrift and econ
omy and to check the neglect Of fami-
lies by the men usually brought before
the courts on the charge Of drunken
ness. It is a development out OF Judge
Cleland's present plan Of paroling the
men to responsible persons in the
neighborhood. Semimonthly reports
are made to the Judge.
The principal condition imposed on
the paroled person Ia that he will stay
away from drink for the period OF a
year and Is not sent to the bridewell
in that time.
Judge Cleland says majority Of
the persons to whom it IS Intended the
new feature shall apply are far, from
prudent in the use Of money.
"They spend every cent they make"
said he, whether It Is 81 a day or S..
II there Is any money left after family
necessities are paid for 1t Is spent In
drink. And in number of cases the
money is spent before the necessities
are paid for"
Judge Cleland said that large num-
Der of the men paroled by him are now
living respectable lives. He says that
Instead Of spending their money for
drink they are saving it for other pur-
poses md have certain amount for
use for luxuries He believes, how
ever, that they should devote share
Of their earnings to savings account.
