Ths Leading Taper of ths County l

At present writing it looks as ii
 the poplar lekchure course, whict
 was got up for the purpose of edu.
 eating Bingville into higher and
 nobler ways this winter, would be a failure.
 This lekchure course was first
 started by Jed Peters, our intelli- gent skoolteacher, who thort fl would be a great way to diffuse knowledge and learning among the more ignorttnter class of this Vicin- ity. Jed, he interested several oth- CT prominent citizens and citize1es- ses, and together they arranged for a course of five lelechures, one each month, the first one of which was give in the Bingville townhall last Saturday night. Tickets for these lekchures was sold quite a number for 50 cts, whereas, single admish- ion for only one lekchure was 15 cts.
 The first lekchure was delivered last Saturday ev'g by Rev. Arthur Pinkleton, Co. Seat preacher, and his subjeckt was Temperance. !" There was a big turn out present who waited with bated breth to hear what Rev. Pinkleton had to say. but after the lekchure was over. those Ipresent disburst to their various homes in disgust.
 Rev. Pinkleton spoke for over a hour and a half on the curse of drink, and he give the Demon Rum sich a laying out that we calkilate the Demon Rum will be ashamed to show it's hydrahead in this nabor- hood for quite spell to come.
 Rev. Pinkleton talked collectively and individually to the men folks present, lekchuring them severely on the evils of drinking hard cider and alcohol split and sich other va rious cancellations as are absorbed in Bingville. Bill Hepburn, our ar tistic blacksmith set on the front | seat while the cold swet of anguish | stood out on his forehead as he listened to the skathing rebukes of the Rev. Pinkleton-being as Bill is great hand to go to the Co. Seat every Satterday and come home full we calkilate he thort the parson was talking to him personally.
 After the lekchure was over. several of our most respeckted citizens, who like a little nip of liquor occasionally for their stummick's sake. or for medi- cinal use, demanded their money back from Jed Peters, being as they said they wouldn't attend 10 more sich leckchures as them.

Tother night about bedtime, Anne Hillyer, our attorney and legal light, heard a commoshion in his henhouse and pulling on his boots Anne snuck out in the dark, and opening the henhouse door said suddenly in a stern voice, Who's there2" Nobody" exclaimed voice from the dark, and Anne jumped into the henhouse and grabbed the cul- pert, which he dragged into the house where he could see who he was. For obvious reasons the name of the guilty party is withheld, since Anne has de- cided not to prosecute him but rather to give him another chanet to live nobler and better life. The cuipert told Anne that when he asked suddenly Who's there2" he said, Nobody" before he thort how it sounded.

Mosquitoes and Moths Plagued the Citv

New York, July 30.-The moth in
vasion of the city, followed by the
mosquito visitation, is followed by a
plague of tleas, which coming myster.
iously into life and action are driving
residents OF the upper west side near

from his leaf-eating propensities, did
not work personal discomfort, and
the mosquito was busy chiefly at
night The flea, however, never

warrior evidently arrived with an
empty commissariat.
on Riverside Drive, because of the
mosquito visitation, couples have pa
raded at night along the paths, burn

CHINESE BOYCOTT
DOMINION OF CANADA
II Is Brought About by Government
Action In Prohibiting sale of
Opium.

Ottawa, Ont, July 30.-Private ad-
vices from the Pacific coast indica te
that very persistent boycott is at
hand on the part of the most powerful
oody in China against the Dominion
OF Canada and her trade. This con-
oItion of affairs has been brought
about by the recent action OF the Ca
madam government against the opium
trade In this country. During the
last days OF the Parliamentary ses-
slon' Just closed, the government Sc
cured the passage of an act prohibit
ing the importation, manufacture and
sale or opium in the Dominion. except
4Nr medical purposes. The act also
prohl0itst helm portation ana sale OF
patent medicines containing opium.
Ihere is not much hostile criticism
or the governments action, as far as
the principle of the measure is con-
Cerned, but the fact that the govern
ment has made no allowance in the
Way of compensation for the severe
injury 1t has inflicted upon Chinese
dealers on the Pacific coast comes In

SUBMARINES MAKE
UNUSUAL RECORD
British Boats Make Long Trip I'm
! Good Time, Proving Their Worth
to, the Navy.

Z London, July 30.-Eght British
submarines from Harwich reached
Granton, on the Firth of Forth, after
covering without stop distance of
420 miles in thlrty-nine hours or at
the rate of nearly eleven knots.
This performance Is regarded by
the officers as highly satisfactory,
since the voyage from start to finish
was accomplished without any in
cident whatever to cause the smallest
concern. A slight swell was expert
enced on occasions, but the submar-
ines ran easily on the surface. No at
tempt was made to achieve a record
in the way of fast running. Had this
been desired the voyage could have
been made in even better time.
Nine submarines from Dover,
which left at the same time as the
Harwich fiotilla, have also arrived at
Granton. They had to cover longer
distance-500 miles-and they did not
run at quite so fast a pace, being con-
tent with a steady ten Knots.

Topeka, July 30.-Santa Fe passen-

several passengers were injured.

A relief train was made up here and
brought the injured to the Santa Fe
hospital here.
Engineer Rossiter was one of the
Santa Fe's most trustworthy engineers
and had been in service a number of
years. 1t is said that the cause of the
wreck was fast running, and another
report says it was caused by an open
switch, but which report is true is
not known. The track is being cleared

RObBER SUSPECT IS
ARRESTED HERE
Belen and Suspected of French
Affair.

w. NJ. Mamble, alias Marlin,
alias Burk, wanted at Belen on the
charge of being an accompltce in the
robbery of the Cox saloon and sus-
pected of being one of the three BAN
dts who carried out the French sta
ton robbery, in which the Wells

lar bills three inches in diameter.

by Justice of the Peace William Ber-
ger of Belen. The telegram stated
that a man who had been seen with
Mamble was held there on the charge
of holding up and robbing the Cox
saloon. The man arrested at Belen
gave the name of Peabody, and II is
believed that he has confessed and
connected Mamble with the Cox sa-
loon robbery if not the French rob-
berry.
Mamble is about 35 years old and
has the appearance OF a stockman. He
created a sensation in the local rail-
road yards yesterday among railroad

shoes. He displayed a roll OF bills
that he had trouble getting ia his
trousers pocket When arrested this
afternoon he told the police that he
had $500 yesterday but did not know
what had become of it, When asked
how he came by the money Mamble
told story about herdlng sheep in
the vicinity of Las Cruces.
Mamble was taken to the city Jail
this afterr oon but will probably be
taken tC the county Jail for safe
keeping. His story about herding
sheep is being Investigated. An officer
from Belen arrived here this morning
TO get Mamble.
