At last the people in the central
and eastern states are awakening to
the fact that they will be "a long
time dead" and that while they live,
they had just as we'll enjoy the lux
uries that nature has provided in the
way of climate, pure water, grand
scenery and at the same time make
good money, rather than wear out
their lives in a country where it is
barely possible to realize very small
profit on their hard labor. Last year
more than 100000 people from the
East purchased homes in the West and
this year the number will be doubled.

A splendid rain amounting to forty

Showers have continued at intervals
each day since, and up till yesterday

Judge Mann Postpones Adjourned Session on

and wrote the Judge in regard to the
same, to which he replied:

Mr.. PA. Speckmann,
Estancia, N. M.
My dear Sir
Replying to your letter of May 9th,
desire to say that the adjourned ses-
sion of the District Court of Torrance
County which was to have convened
on June 10th, has been postponed until
the last Monday in July, which will be
July 29th. This change was made at
the suggestion of F. W. Clancy, Dis
trict Attorney, and number of people
of Torrance County, their idea being
that the former mentioned date would
come during the shearing time and
would consequently be very inconven-
lent for many of the people Of Torrance
County, and that the latter date would
be much more convenient: hence the
change. You will give notice of this
through your columns, and for doing
so YOU will oblige me, as 1have receiv-
ed several inquiries from parties as te
the time of the holding of this Court.
Very truly yours,
Edward A. Mann.

MRS. MCKINLEY
PASSES AWAY
Peacefully Falls Asleep to Awaken in the
Better Land

Mrs. William Mckinley, widow of
the late president died at her home in
Canton, Ohio, on last Sunday after
noon at 1:05 o'clock. She had been
suffering during the past week from a
paralytic stroke, and her demise was
only question of days at the most.
For many years Mrs. Mckinley has
been an invalid. She rallied from the
shock of her husbands tragic death,
but it left it's mark, and when it was
known that she suffered a stroke of
paralysis little hope was felt that she
could survive.
The end came peacefully, almost
imperceptit y. Mrs. Mckinley never
knew of the efforts made to prolong
her life, or the solicitous hope against
hope of her sister and other relatiues
and friends for her recovery.
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. M. C. Barber,
Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William R. Day,
Doctors Portmann and Rixey and the
nurse.
Mrs. Mckinley lived hours longer
than was expected said the secretary.
"Hervitality was wonderful" said DR..
Portmann. 1t was by Secretary Cor
telyou that the announcement was
given to the public AS this was flash
ed over the land, William Mckinley
Post and George D. Harter Post, G. A.
R., were forming in line and to the
strains of "the March Religioso" went
to the first Methodist Episcopal church
to listen to the annual memorial ad-
dress, which was given by DR.. Buxton,
Mrs. McKinley's pastor.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn csm-
etery which holds also the body of her
husband, until the completion of the
National Mausoleum on Mckinley Hill,
when both caskets will be transferred
to receptacle in that place.
Mrs. McKinley's life of almost 60
years had been made familiar to the
nation by the fact that more than hall
of it was a period of invalidism.
Through all this, however, she showed
a firm and unwavering belief in the ca.
reer of her husband and by her cheer.
ing words, in spite of personal affiic-
tions, encouraged him when there was
darkness at hand.
She believed that his star of destiny
would never set until he had become
president of this land, and for more
than quarter of a century cherished
that belief until her hopes were realiz
ed.
After President McKinley's deatl
she expressed desire to join him, ant
prayed day by day that she might die

feet in diameter and about eight feet
deep.
A number of the cabbages raised
last year by Mr.. Lentz weighed over
twenty pounds per head, some running
to almost twenty-five pounds. The
heads were firm and white, of splendid
flavor, crisp and tender, and excellent
keeping quality. With cabbage retail
ing in the local stores at from three
cents up, this is one of the best paying
crops which can be grown.

PROSPERITY.


In the general glad note over the
prosperity Of the country prosper
ity admitted to be unequaled in its
history-there comes now and again
discord In the pessimistic warnings
that the country is too prosperous, and
that something will happen unless this
unprecedented tide of prosperity is
checked; that we will all be swept
away in the flood. These warnings
however, are something like the dole
full shaking of heads by the English
dominant classes who fear that the
masses are getting too much self-gov-
eminent for their own good. It is
significant fact that the wailings over
prosperity are not coming from those
who are enjoying the fruits of legiti-
mate business enterprise. but rather
from those who think themselves en-
dowed with a paternal sort of control
of the prosperity and interests of the
public at large, or from those who do
not relish the public's sharing so large
