Roswell, N. M.-When the jury re-
turned verdict Of not guilty In the
case of B. H. Tallmadge of Denver,
charged with making fraudulent land
entries. the defendant was literally
showered with congratulations. Tall
madge was not surprised at the ver-
dict, as he has stoutly maintained
since his indictment two years ago
that he was innocent. and at the last
term Of court pleaded for trial in Or
der that the Tallmadge company
could resume operations. Among the
messages Of congratulation received
was one from Hon. A. M. Stevenson
of Denver.

ELECTIONS PLEASE ROOSEVELT.
Sends Letter Of Generalization to
Heney at San francisco.

Washington.-Presid Roosevelt
Thursday issued the following state
ment regarding tine elections held
Tuesday last:
THE Presiden. regards the result
OF the elections is extremely gratify-
ing. He has sent letter OF hearty
congratulation to Mr.. Heney at San
Francisco.
THE victory in New Jersey was
precisely what happened nine years
ago, in the middle of President Nc
Kinley's administration. He had car
ried New Jersey by $4,000 and two
years afterward the Republican can
didate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as happened
in the Judge Fort case.
"As compared with the elections
next preceding the last presidential
election, we have done decidedly bet
ter than We did in 1903. Then as
Tuesday, Rhode Island and Maryland
went against us, but this year we
have won a sweeping victory In Ken
lucky fol- the first time since Mckin-
ley's first election; and the victory in
Massachusetts was also remarkable.
THE showing in Pennsylvania and
Nebraska is equally good. The show
ing in New York state as a whole
was excellent, far better than was the
case prior to the last presidential
election. That the result in Manhat-
tan was due to purely local causes is
shown by comparing it with the deci-
sive triumphs of Brooklyn, Buffalo, AL
bany and in the state generally. The
Presidents home county of Nassau
made better showing than it ever
has in an off-year. AS whole the
showing has been an improvement
over what it was four and eight years
ago."

Record of Railway Accidents.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission bulletin on acct
dents on railroads of the United States
during the year ended last June shows
total casualties of S1,2s6, or 5000 per-
sons killed and 76,2S6 injured. This
shows an increase of 1882 casualties,
or IT'S in the killed and 9,777 in the
injured as compared with the previous
year.
The bulletin says:
There have been heavy increases in
all of the items. except accidents in car
coupling and from striking against
over head distractions. The number
of passengers killed and injured in col
lisions and derailments has increased
to an alarming degree. In this item
the very large total reported in 1905 is
now exceeded by seventeen per cent.
The comparative smallness of the in
crease in casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars and in accidents to
men on the tops of freight cars is I'M
doubtedly due in large measures TO i'm
provements in the maintenance and
care of automatic couplers and to the
increased use of airbrakes on freight
trains. The disastrous record of cas-
ualties to passengers in train accidents
(410 killed., is due in large measure to
ten accidents which caused the death

Another famous old American vessel
is to be sent to the junk-heap. The
newest battleship Is to be named New
York SIMPSONS flagship, the old New
York, II to be renamed Saratoga, and
the old Saratoga, now the schoolship
of Pennsylvania, is to be no more. 1t
was built in 1912, and its first service
was in the suppression of the West
Africa slave trade. In the Mexican
war Its commander was Farragut It
was part of the south Atlantic squad
ron In the second half OF the civil war,
and then went out Of active service.
When we consider how nearly OBJ.
solete is the old New York, which
seemed SO modern in the Spanish war.
1t is wonder that the old Saratoga
has survived all these years, and is
only now condemned to destruction.

Mrs. Ellen Nagle, Ala 4th street, Green

II have often heard Peruna praised
and it is more widely known here than
any other medicine, but never knew
what n splendid medicine it really was
until a few weeks ago when caught q
bad cold which settled all over me.
1.-THE doctor wanted to prescribe, but
I told him l was going to try Peruna
and sent for bottle and tried it.
II felt much better the next morning
and within five days l had not trace
of any lameness or any cough.

Selecting Poultry.

In selecting poultry we'll rounded
form. with neat, compact legs and no
sharp. bony angles on the breast, are
the important marks which should be
sought in selecting fowls for the table.
The skin should be clear yellow and
free from blotches and pinfeathers. If
it looks tight and drawn the bird has
probably been scalded before plucking.
The flesh should neither be fabby nor
stiff, but should give evenly when
pressed by the finger. If the feet are
left on they furnish test Of age. In
a young fowl they are soft and smooth,
becoming hard and rough as the bird
grows older. Turkeys, up to a year old,
are said to have black feet. which grow
pink up to three years old, and then
turn gradually gray and grow dull

A HISTORIC HIGHWAY.
How Colonel Zane Kept His Contract
to Mark the Road.

1t is said that the beginning Of one
part of historic road may be traced
to the following incident: In early
days, before the public conveyance by
stage between the east and west, travel
was generally by horseback. Judge
Brown, senator for Kentucky, reached
Wheeling on the way to the capital wet
and tired. He was guest of Colonel
Ebenezer Zane, an early settler at
Wheeling Standing before the fire in
Zane's comfortable cabin, he remark
ed, "Zane, if you will have road
way marked from here to Limeston
(Maysville), I will have congress grant
you a section of land at the crossing
Of the Muskingum, Hooking and Scioto
rivers" Zane fulfilled the contract,
and congress made the grant.
May II, 1906, congress granted to
Ebenezer Zane three tracts of land,
one square mile, one on the Muskin-
gum, one on the Hooking and one ON
the Scioto river, in the state of Ohio,
for the purpose Of building ferries on
the road from Wheeling, W. Va. to
Limeston, which road was to be opened
by the president of the United States.
These grants were confirmed to Zane
and patented Feb. IA, 1900. On April
3, 1902, congress made the same al
lowance to Isaac Zane, his heirs or as
signs, located in the Northwest Terri
tory, now the state of Ohio. Zane made
good use of his grants! He located the
town of GAINESVILLE on the Muskingum,
the town of Fairfield on the Hook
ing and Chillicothe on the Scioto. The
story runs that when Judge Brown
passed over the ''road" he found it

MARYLAND OYSTER BEDS.
Result OF The Surveys-33 ,668
Acres In Counties, 81
Natural Beds.

Capt. G. G. Yates, chief of the
party of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey working in
co. operation with the Maryland
ShelIfish Commission in making the
surveys of oyster grounds in Chesa-
pelke bay, has issued the official
publication of the Department of
Commerce and Labor of the United
States, giving a description of the
work, and also the official charts
showing the location, boundaries
and dimensions of the natural
oyster beds in the waters con
tiguous to Anne Arundel county,
as disclosed by the surveys. AS
required by the new oyster culture
act, these charts were filed in
the office of the Shellfsh Com
mission at the State House, Nand
also in the Office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
county.
The report Of Captain Yates,
which we have received, is a
most comprehensive one, giving
in detail the result of the surveys
and how they were conducted,
together with other valuable in.
formation. 1t shows that in Anne
Arundel county waters there are 81
natural oyster beds, varying in
acreage, and the total number of
acres is 1866. Of this number,
19,3SS acres are designated as the
longing area, while the other
14,27S acres are known as the dred
ging area. This should meet with
the favor of the oystermen when it
is considered that in the waters OF
the State of Connecticut, where an
oyster culture law is enforced, the
total acreage of all the waters there
is $40 acres. The variation in
acres of the bars of Anne Arundel
is from 4 acres in the river to 7,54S
acres on the bay shore, which is
the largest bar in extent. The
charts now on file in the Court
house may be consulted at any
time. With the filing of them
oystermen may examine them, and
if in their opinion the extent of the
different bars is not correct they
may avail themselves of the right
of appeal as provided under the law.
