Wabash. Ind.-The reform wave
which has been sweeping Indiana for
many months has taken a peculiar
turn in threatening to invade the
county jails throughout the state. This
particular reform is not aimed at the
jail management. though some may
be badly in need of attention Il is
proposed to install it as a department

is established it means a new terror

ensign who has been assigned to the
Indianapolis field, is the daughter OF
a wealthy contractor of London Eng.
land. This fact. which was kept Sc
cret from the husband until recently,
became public a few days ago. The
husband first learned OF his wife's
prominence and wealth while on a tFip
abroad. Mrs CIifford's father was so
generous in paying the expenses of
the trip and providing them with en-.
tertainment that the truth dawnsd
upon the ensign.
Ensign and Mrs. Clifford have been
in Elkhart two years and have won
innumerable friends by their persist
ent, modest and incessant Iabors in
novels and slums, and upon the
streets. Mrs Clifford is a tireless and
able assistant in the work.
Ensign Clifford is a native Of Charl-
bury, a village near Oxford, England.
He has been in the United States
about five years. One of the frst sac
rifices that he made upon entering the
Salvation army in his native country
was that Of personal liberty. He was
imprisoned for a time during the bit
ter persecution which the army suf-
feTed in the early years of its warfare

His parents were MethOdists of the
old type. A boast of the ensign is

Teddy is With Us.

Memphis. Tenn, Oct. 4. The
steamer Mississippi with the
president aboard drew alongside
the steamer Alton carrying the
governors Of seventeen states at
$3.50 this morning while the
presidents feet was still many
miles above Memphis for the
purpose Of giving the president
an opportunity to invite Governor
Curry, Of New Mexico, and
Frantz, Of Oklahoma, on board
the Mississippi.
Il want the governor of the
territory that has become a state
and the governor of the terri
tory that is about to become a
state to ride with me-" said the
president.
We're very good friends, "
remarked the president, as Gov
ernor Curry boarded the Mis-
sissippi, and he repeated the re-
mark as Governor Frantz climb
ed aboard.
Governor Curry and the presi-
dent chatted very confidentially
and there seems to be the great
est of friendship between the
two men. Some time was spent
by them in the presidents cabi-
nent in close conversation, and
when they joined the party on
deck, the president reiterated his
remark of yesterday that he
would favor statehood for New
Mexico alone and would do all in
his power to secure that boon for
the territory. Governor Curry
seemed much pleased with his
interview with the president.

AT the recent synod of the
Presbyterian church Of this dis
trict at Las Cruces. a committee
was appointed to select a loca-
ton for Che proposed Presbyter-
ian sanitarium. If our people
will move out and make an ac-
tive effort Deming may land this
sanitarium. Several towns in
the territory have already made
offers of sites for the purpose to
the committee, which~is now
making an active canvass.
1t is an established fact that
a more ideal and favorable spot
for such an institution could not
be found in the entire terri
tory than Deming. While it may
be true that there are other points
that possess certain advantages
at certain times during the year,
yet viewed from a general stand
point Deming eclipses them all.
Her magnificent climate, altitude,
location, railroad systems, grand
mountain scenery, splendid pub
lie schools, social and religious
circles, and last, but not least,
the purest drinking water in New
Mexico, gives us the mark of dis
tinction over all others.
The Presbyterian church Of
this city is strong organization,
and the pastor and members
should bestir themselves and en-
deavor to secure a suitable site
to be offered for the purpose
named. The business men and
property owners of the city could
join hands with the Church and
aid toward the success of placing
this institution in Deming.
The buildings are to cost about
$50, 900. A number of sites near
Deming are available and we
hope to hear Of an effort being
made at once to land the propos-
ed Presbyterian sanitarium for
our town.

The LordsDurg Liberal Is already
getting sick at the stomach over
the thought of Deming getting
her railroad workings. While
it is peculiar of our makeup to
have a sympathy for anything in
distress, yet we have been CIV
ing the Liberal the judgment of
knowing that Lordsburg never
had any hope of holding her rail-
road fixtures permanently, and
now that they are to be moved
back to Deming, we can't for the
life of US see wherein that town
should take it so hard. Consid-
ering that Lordsburg is virtually
. whistling post compared to
Deming, we honestly think the
people Of that little place would
be doing the right thing to ex-
tend q vote Of thanks to the S.
P. for having favored them as
long as the railroad has with the
division headquarters. Always
show gratitude for little acts of
Kindness.
