Hon. l.. Bradford Prince returned
last evening from trip to Mountain,
air where he delivered a lecture be
fore the "Chautauqua" on Friday on

CO."
He was greatly impressed and de
lighted with the extensive farming re-
gion in the vicinity of Mountainair
and with the excellent character OF
the population which is settling there
The cultivation is entirely without ir.
rigation but the soil is so rich and
the moisture so plentiful that every
kind of vegetation is luxuriant. The
corn, wheat, barley, beans, millet, all
look extremely we'll and as If they
were grown for premiums at the Irri
cation Congress.
The 'C'hautauqua" is quite success
full for a first year and reflects much
credit on those who had the energy
to inaugurate it.
Governor Prince took advantage o.
the opportunity to accept invitations
to visit the important ruins at Quar-
ra and Gran Quivera and was not dis
appointed in the grandeur and exten
of the remains of those ancient towns
The party had to leave the Graz

Houston, Texas, Aug. 24.-Follow

sells of all Texas railroads held here
Saturday. answers were forwarded tc
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to the complaint filed against the ad
vance in rates recently filed by the
Texas state railroad commission. The
general tenor of the separate answers
is that the advance is justified because
OF the increase in operating expenses
caused by recent state and federal

whole would show that since 1903 the
increase in wages and the cost of ma

CHARGED WITH
GIGANTIC THEFT
Ex-Treasury Clerk
Arrested for Big
Robbery
S1OU7lY DENIES HIS GUILT
After Months Of Shadowing
Chicago Man is Taken
Into Custody.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The mystery OF
the theft OF $4,000 from the United
States sub-treasury here year and a
half ago, one of the largest losses the
government has ever suffered In this
manner, is believed to have been solved
by the arrest yesterday of George w,
Fitzgerald. Others are believed to have
been implicated in the crime which for
months completely baffled the govern
ment secret service men. Fitzgerald
was an asserting teller under Assistant
United States Treasurer William Bol
denweek. Suspicion at the time of the
theft, February 20, 1907, rested on him
but so plausible was his story and SC
intense his apparent interest In discov
ering the real culprit that interest
ceased to center on him.
Declares He is innocent.
Fitzgerald spent the night in Jail. To
day it was announced by Edward r
Litzinger, Fitzgerald's attorney, that
his client would plead not guilty and
demand an immediate hearing The ev
idence against the accused man, which
has not been disclosed, was obtained
by officers of the state attorneys Of
flee. It is believed that the case will be
tried in the state courts. Fitzgerald
stoutly maintains his innocense and
his friends are equally as confident ot
his being not guilty.
Undoing Due to Speculation.
Heavy speculation recently by Ftz
gerald, accompanied by alleged at
tempts on his part to place in circula
ton several bills of the denomination
of $4,000 each, led to his arrest. Eve
since the robbery, secret service of
ficers and a private detective agenc!
have been shadowing him.
Released on $4,000 Bond.
Fitzgerald was admitted to bail thi'
afternoon on $4,000 bond. He plead
ed for an immediate hearing but Judge
Chetlain postponed his examination I'm
til August 81 in order to allow thu
states attorney to collect further evi
dence.
Il have not got nickel that doe!
not belong to me- Fitzgerald passion
ately exclaimed to reporters
He explained to his attorneys al
his financial dealings, including hi
corner on the egg market, since hi
discharge from the sub-treasury. Tht
evidence against Fitzgerald was work
ed up by a private detective agency.

TEA ROSES

In the tea rose, form, color and
fragrance are blended in delectable
manner, but perfect hardness is I'M
fortunately lacking in roses of this
class, making it sometimes difficult to
winter them safely in northern lati-
tudes. Considerable protection is re-
quired. Besides killing the earth about
each plant shelter of boards should
be built about them in the winter with
slanting roof to shed the water. Dry
leaves should fill the space between
the sides of the shelter and the plants
The shelter should be erected in No
vember.
The gardener who is willing to take
such precautions to protect his treas
ures, may plant his bed of tea roses
without fear, and be sure they will
be a never ending delight. The tea
roses are especially excellent for

AND MITES
Don't Board Them.

Other foes of little chicks are ex-
ternal parasites, lice and mites. We
frequently find lice even among win
ter brooder chicks. Lice on the head
are most troublesome. They fasten
themselves to the back of the chicks
head, near the base of the brain and
gradually kill the chick. It is a pitt
full sight to see the little chick
scratching the back of it's head try
ing to dislodge the pest. Good re-
suits are usually obtained by greasing
the head of each chick with five per
cent. carbonated vaseline. Kerosene
and lard, equal parts, prove equally
effective. The chicks can be rapidly
treated and should be attended to as
soon as there is any suspicion of
head lice. The louise may be seen
readily by means of a small magnify
Ing glass. It can also be detected
with the naked eye If one is very care
fuI to examine the right place, al
though one must look carefully to
see it.
To kill mites, clean all coops and
brooders perfectly, then apply thor
oughly, either whitewash, kerosene
oil, or some of the prepared insecti-
cides. Be sure to fill all the cracks
and crevices as these are the places
where mites will be- found hiding dur
ing the day. Burn all the litter and
add new. A spray pump may be used
for applying the insecticide, as it
drives the liquid into the cracks and
crevices better than can be done with
a brush. Whitewash can be applied
with pump and then smoothed over
with brush, doing rapid and effec-
tive work. Mites differ from body
lice in that they suck the blood from
the fowls bodies, while lice have
biting mouthparts and live on the
skin and feathers, causing intense
itching and annoyance Mites live on
the fowls body at night only, hiding
in cracks and crevices during the day.
They appear red when gorged with
blood, or white when there is little
blood in their bodies.
To kill the lice we must treat the
hens or chicks body, as the lice live
there practically all the time. There
are several kinds of these lice, but
they all yield to the some treatment,
namely, a good busting. The dust
fills up the breathing pores in their
bodies, and thus suffocates them. A
good insect powder may be made from
equal parts of fine ground tobacco
and powdered sulphur. Snuff is also
used. There are number of insect

cutting the flowers. There are many
varieties of merit. Two recent intro.
auctions excel their predecessors in
many ways for outdoor planting. Pink
Maman Cochet and White Maman
Cochet produce blossoms admirable
for cut flower purposes. The flowers
are remarkably beautiful in form,
charming in color and remain perfect
long after being cut. The pink variety
is surpassed in beauty by the white,
which is tinged with rose color. The
buds of both varieties are unusually
we'll formed. They should not be
cut until three-quarters open, being
then at their best. The plants are
vigorous and bear many flowers. A
few plants will furnish good supply
of blossoms for use in the house dur.
ing the summer.
