JUDGE HOWARD LELAND
is TAKEN BY DEATH.

Judge Howard Leland, register of
the Government Land Office in Ros-
well, was taken by death at 4:30 this
morning, a nervous collapse being
the immediate cause of decease, fol
lowing an illness of six weeks dur
ing which he was bedfast at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. B. D. w.
He had been in poor health for twen-
ty years but remained in active work
most of the time, performing the du-
ties of his office. He was 63 years of
age.
The body will be shipped to the old
home in Leavenworth, Kansas, to-
morrow morning, following a private
service under the direction of Elder
C. C. Hill, at the Payton home. Mrs.
Payton will accompany the body to
Leavenworth, where burial will be
made beside the graves of Judge Le-
lands wife and a daughter.
The death of Judge Leland takes
away one of RoswelFs first citizens
and most noble characters. The prom
inence of his position kept him be-
fore the people and thus under the
scrutiny of the public eye continual
ly, he was never known to swerve
from his line of duty or to break his
official trust. A man of positive con-
victions, he carried out his policies
as he saw them with a conscientious
ness that made him admired of all.
His position gave him many opportun-
tiles to show special favors, but this
he never did. He treated all alike
and never went beyond the line of du-
ty as pointed out in hts official in
structions. He gave every man all
that was due him and no more. The
lowest man looked as good to him as
the highest In his official capacity
he recognized the great democratic
principle, equal rights to all; spec
ial privileges to none" He was rare
gem among men since he was a man
that hewed to the line and let the
chips fall where they would

q wholesale shoe house. After being
ON the road number of years, trav-
cling out of Troy, he secured the po-
sitfon of Deputy Warden at the Kan
sas penitentiary at Lansing and NOV
ed his Family thither. Later he was
appointed to the position of Collector
Of Internal Revenue at Leavenworth,
place, where he maintained his posi-
ton and residence for five years. In
the year 1891 he moved to New Mex
leo, seeking the benefit of the mild
climate. He went first to Las Vegas,
but remained there only short time,
moving to Albuquerque, where he had
position in the office of the auditor
of the Santa Fe railroad. In the fall
of 1896 he received. the appointment
of register of the Government land
Office in Roswell and moved here i'm
mediately. He has maintained his
home in this city since that date and
held the office of register continuous
ly.
Mr.. Leland was married thirty-six
years ago, but his wife died while he
was Collector of Revenue at Leaven-
worth, in the year 1898. Of this mar
riage there are five living children,
Mrs. B. D. w. Payton. of this city,
Mrs. F. o. Whiteman, of Eldorado,
Ark, Mrs. w. w. Phillips, Cyrus j.
Leland and Howard F. Leland, of Ros-

Quimby, of Sauk City, Wis.
The deceased was a great lover of
his home and although a strong char
acter among men, did not join the
fraternal orders as many of his prom
inence usually do. He belonged to
the insurance order, Ancient Order
of United Workmen, but to 40 9TH
ers. He was a man who did we'll what
eyer he took up, and when he had a
friend it was a strong one. Among
his close friends in Roswell are many
of the best citizens. From among
these have been selected his pail
bearers, who are Charles de Bremond,
E. A. Cahoon, Col. 1. H. Elliott, J. F.
Patterson, Will S. Prayer and J. NJ.
Peacock. The death of Judge Leland
will cause deep sorrow in many of
the leading families of Roswell and
the community as whole has lost
one of it's strongest, noblest men.

Beans for Green Mannr.

We know of one farmer that planted
beans too early, and the late frost
caught them, killing the whole crop.
He planted again, but this time SO
thick that the pods did not form till
an early fall frost caught them, and SO
the whole crop was lost. But the
growth of the beans had been a very
rank one, and the weeds had been kept
from growing. The mass of rank
heritage was plowed under and the
land left to be planted the next year.
The plowed-under beans proved to be
great enrichers of the soil, for thew

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each Job.
Before ttrv H;King the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what it will do. II it is pure
White Lead, little drops Of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce n Of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
cave a residue, 1t is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly In the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
SO that the White Lead may be test
ed. With 1t will be sem a handsomely
printed booklet having as it's frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.

WATERING COWS.
Care in the Quality Of Water Provided

The best arrangements for the

be individual basins between the cows

where water is supplied at all In
the barns, the force that drives the
water comes from tanks of windmills
OF from hydraulic rams. The troughs
OF cement seen in some barns. and
which run in front of all the cows. I
believe to be all right, but | prefer
the individual basins.
Most of the cows about here get
their water at the temperature it han
pens to be when it comes from the
