| Bulgaria Insults Foreigners.
Sofia, Oct. 15.-A disagreeable i'm
pression has been produced in diplo'
matte circles here by circular note
Issued today from the Bulgarian min
listry, which orders that in the future
isubjects of foreign powers in Bulgaria
shall be treated on the same basis as
natives. In other words they are no
longer to enjoy the intermediary OF
their consuls. The circular sets forth
THAT the declaration of independence
annuled the socalled capitulations
which were exemplified from the juris-
ldiction of the local courts.
| The diplomatic representatives of
lone of the great powers today describ-
ed this circular as "high handed ac-
tion, which the powers will vigorously
oppose The tendency of Bulgaria to
lextricate herself from all treaty obli-
cations in ways that are not popular,
will lead the powers to insist upon a
, retention of capitulation for definite
| period as one of the conditions for the
recognition of Bulgarian independ-
ence."

The latter place is town where
the Eastern Railway of New Mexico
and the Ell Paso and Southwestern
railroad lines cross and is becoming
quite important.
Delegate Winning Votes.
The meetings were attended by very
large crowds not only from the towns
named but from 20 and 80 miles from
the surrounding country. The citizens
who heard the speakers were very en-
thusiastic and received them with the
greatest cordiality and gave their
speeches the closest attention. They
evidently had great effect and Colonel
Prichard, while he can not say that
Quay county will go Republican, be-
lieves there have been great gains
made and that many of the Demo
cratic citizens there will vote for Dele
gate w. H. Andrews because they
know and are convinced that with his
return to Congress, statehood will be
given to New Mexico, while should
Larrazolo win, statehood would be
very doubtful for many years.

In his volume Of Personal Adven-
lures" Col. ]. P. Robertson describes
the extraordinary method Of preparing
the horse to be shod.
The farrier takes a good long rope,
doubles 1t and knots loop at the end
to about the size of good large horse
collar. This is put over the horses
head after the manner Of a horse COL
lar, the knot resting on the horses
chest.
Then the two ends of rope are.
brought between his legs. Each rope,
then taken by man, Is hitched on to
the fetlocks Of his hind legs and
brought through the loop in front; then
by hard, steady pull the hind legs are
drawn up to the fore legs, and the
horse falls heavily on his side.
All four feet are then tied together
by the fetlocks, the horse is proppedi
up on his back, and the farrier sits
quietly down beside him, takes off all
the old shoes and puts on new. When,
the work is finished the horse Is united
and allowed to get up.
