CURRENT EVENTS.
Clipped from the Exchanges Which
Come TO Our Table.

Mr.. Bryan may not boom any more
paramount issues, but he is certainly
the paramount candidate.
Perhaps after third battle the
democratic party viii feel that it has
had enough of noise without votes.
1t is lucky that the farmer takes
his vacation when the frost is on the
pumpkin and the fodder in the
shock.
Mr.. Bryan seems to be improving
in this respect. When he finds that
the poker is scorching his fingers he
drops it.
Those anticipated results with
denatured alcohol are as shy as If
they had been sidetracked by some
trust lying IN wait.
A New Jersey woman saved her
husband when attacked by bull by
throwing pepper in the bulls eyes.
1t was a center shot deserving a
medal.
Governor Vardaman says the
republicans voting in the democratic
primary elected Williams. Ii is
news that republicans are allowed to
vote in Mississippi.
The Standard Oil people say their
profits are due to ability. Uncle
Sam has fair share of that article
himself, and insists that it shall be
exercised within legal limits.
Pennsylvania's Department of
Agriculture reports finding ground
corn cobs in recent test Of food
stuffs. The purity Of the cobs is not
disputed, but the label, as might be
supposed, failed to give particulars.
Good results have followed the
enactment of pure food law, and
now the grocers are compelled to
give full weights and correct meas
ures. The public is fast learning
that it has some rights in business.
Drinking intoxicating liquors on
passenger trains is now prob lifted.
The man with small bottle will
have to wait until the train stops at
station, sneak off and take his
drink before the train again gets in
motion. This is in Texas.
"For what profiteth it the people
Of the country" paraphrased one
man here today, ito reveal that
Standard oil was built up on railroad
discrimination and rebates when
Standard Oil is at this very time
covering the country with railroad
systems of its own?"
The Adams Express company is
about to declare dividend OF S24,-
100000 This should greatly please
the American people, who have not
forgotten that when the Spanish
American war tax OF | cent a pack
age went into effect this company
made its patrons pay it.
Among the things said by Gov.
Vardaman during his unsuccessful
canvass for the senate was: Il had
rather be living under the stars and
bars today with Jefferson Davis as
president than in the United States
with President Roosevelt at the heaG
of the nation" Gov. Vardaman sup
posed this would be a clincher in
Mississippi, but he was mistaken.
The report of the operations of
the United States Treasury Depart
ment for the month of July, the first
OF the fiscal year, shows gratifying
reduction of the deficit which is
always anticipated for this particular
month by reason of the many appro-
priations which become available at
the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The deficit this year was $1,000 $50
as compared with $l3,511,147 for
the same month last year.

LON REYNOLDS MAKES HIS
ESCAPE FROM JAIL HEI

Lon Reynolds, who was arrested a
few months ago on the charge of cat
tie stealing and later was sentenced
to serve so days in jail for contempt
of court and was serving time for
the latter charge as well as waiting

escape from the county Jail at dusk
last night
Reynolds has been rooming in the
Women's cell at the jail with two
TRUSTEES. He went to the kitchen VITA
them to eat supper last night, and
while the jailor went down stairs TO
answer the phone, he climbed out an
upstair window and slid down a rope
that someone had provided for him.
His wife visited him at the Jail yes
terday and is thought to have provid-
ed the rope. Some one had a horse
tied near the jail for his convenience
and he made his getaway.
The officers are searching for Rev.
nolds and seek the help of surround
ing towns. Sheriff Ballard has offered
$50 for his capture.

The Report of a First Season.

The Report of a First Season.
Editor of the Earth:
This is my first season ut farming
in the Pecos Valley. When I came
here from South McAlester, l. T.,
bought $50 acres of land three miles
southwest of Lake Arthur That was
two years ago this fall. 1 spent some
time getting the land 1 wanted, and
then put down an artesian we'll Last
spring 1 was ready for farming accord
ing to my idea of the most approved
methods. In April I planted 10 acres
of alfalfa, set out 40-acre apple or,
chard, and planted 12O acres in indian
corn, Kaffir corn, and sorghum. The
apple trees are doing nicely. The al
falfa had clipping and cutting. OF
course, the first Clipping" brought
40 harvest. The second brought two
thirds of ton to the acre. 1 expect
to get two more cuttings, and they
will be better each time. The Indian
corn is as fine as l ever saw and will
bring a good harvest. The Kaffir corn
fodder. l also raised lots of vegeta-
bles, melons ETC., for my own use.
Furthermore, / planted four miles Of
shade trees, cottonwoods. at little
cost, along my irrigation bitches. All
these crops were watered from my
well.
This years crop will pay small
profit and interest on the investment
outside of the artesian well, over and
above running expenses, and I feel
greatly pleased over the result. Next
place-and when the orchard begins
to pay, I look for big things.

Byron B. Parish, constable at Por-
tales, came to Roswell on a freight
train at midnight, bringing with him
young man claiming to be John Will
liamS, of Stilwell, l. T., son of Lum
Williams, of Elida. Williams has been
arrested under suspicion of being one
of two men who murdered a German
at Frio, Texas, on Wednesday night.
Officer Perish left with his prisoner
this morning for Hereford, where vii
liams case will be investigated The
man under arrest denies any connect
ion with the murder.
The Germans murder was a cold
blooded one. He had lived about Frio
for some time, was a hard worker and
was known to carry a big bunch of
money with him. Wednesday night he
was shot n the back and his pockets
rified. His body was found by section
men on the railroad track yesterday.
morning, at Frio. Circumstantial evil
dence went to show that two men CO.
mmited the crime. Parish was put on
the trail of strange young man seen
at Frio the day before and last night
while on a freight train coming this
way, saw young man answering the
description of the man he wanted
board the same train while it was in
full motion. Parish started to arrest
the young man, but the latter left the
train and fled. Parish followed shoot
ing to cause him to stop. After a
chase of three quarters of a mile, the
stranger stopped and gave up without
a fight, although he had a big gun,
wei loaded. Parish brought his man
to Roswell on the same freight train
for safe keeping over night. COnsta-
bic Parish caught a man named Dick
Dilly, alias Lally, at Portales, Sunday
wanted in eight different places, for
which he received reward of $40.
