nalistic, military and political career
in New Mexico, for it is related that
on the following day he wrote the
| personal for the New Mexican an
nouncing his arrival and from that
day on until this year, there elapsed
hardly day that he did not write or
dictate some item or other, article or
editorial for the paper to which he
gave his best years and efforts.
A few years as clerk in the office
of the Z. S. surveyor general and as
a U. S. deputy surveyor gave him an
insight into public land matters that
made him later an able land attor-
ney.
1t was Acting Governor William
G. Ritch who gave him his first im-
portant territorial office, that of adiu-
tant general, and he filled this diff
cult position so well, that Governor
Lew Wallace reappointed him. 1t was
during the Wallace administration
that Colonel Frost cleared San Juan
county of cattle rustlers and renegade
Indians, demonstrating military and
executive ability of a high order. 1t
was quite natural therefore that Gov
ernor Lionel Sheldon retained him in
office.
/ In 1881, just before the assassina-
tion of President Garfield, the latter
appointed Colonel Frost register of
the land office at Santa Fe. President
Arthur confirming the appointment.
This necessitated Colonel Frost's res
ignation as adjutant general of the
Territory, but he retained the colonel
cy of the first regiment of infantry
OF the National Guard until 1885,
Change of administrations, resulted
in the retirement of Colonel Frost
from the L. S. land Office. Since
then he has held no federal office
but for more than twelve years was
secretary of the Territorial Bureau
OF Immigration, in which capacity he
did more for the upbuilding of New
Mexico and it's growth and develop
ment than any other one person. His
intimate knowledge of every portion
of the Territory and it's possibilities,
a forceful and picturesque literary
style, enabled him to write and pub,
lish pamphlet after pamphlet, book
after book, descriptive of the com,
monwealth and its resources, pamph.
lets and books which today still form
the basis for the immigration adver.
tising and even more pretentious his,
torical and magazine literature, that
is put forth by authorities and private
enterprise. His activity in this direc'
tion, forms chapter by itself in his
life.
As a Political Leader.
Colonel Frost was many-sded
man. Office-holding was only incident
al to him in his political work. He
had the genius of leader and at
| tanned great political power. He made
and unmade political fortunes fol
many men in this Territory. He was
member of the territorial central com
mittee of the Republican party fol
more than 25 years, he was its secre
tary fer IL years, and more than once
he turned apparent defeat into vic

POOR SCHEDULE

The Gulf & Ship Island railroad has
changed its schedule so that the morn
ing train from the north reaches Hat
tiesburg at 9:4S, instead of at S:1S
o'clock.
This change went into effect yes
terday, and has occasioned much re-
greet in Hattiesburg business circles,
as it gives people from the north less
time in which to do their trading, thus
seriously imparing the retail trade of
the city.
Another regretable feature of the
change is the fact that the new sched-
ule makes it impossible for Hatties-
burg business men to patronize Rawls
and Mammoth Springs during the sum-
the city before business hours.
1t Is said that the change is made
in order to permit the discontinuance
of trains on the Columbia branch into
Jackson, CONNECTIONS now being made
with the branch trains at junction
points.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

The Birmingham Age-Herald is con-
Quoting a campaign for the "City
Beautiful and the following editorial
Is just as applicable to Hattiesburg:
THE city government stands ready
to do all it can do to render the city
as whole beautiful, but the weight of
the task falls necessarily on the lot
ho1der-the individual owner of city
property. Not much can be accom-
plished by the city or by nature if the
lot owner is slovenly, lacking taste and
sense of the beautiful. The city lot
is the unit, and one slovenly lot in
a block will destroy it's harmony and
render it an offense to the eye.
Tear down the remaining stree
fences, and put each lot in an inviting
condition. Make grass grow where
IL never grew before and remove all
unsightly things Nature has done
great deal for this city. A lovely val
ley Is flanked y 2iotu. sque hi.
and only man is sloven1y. Not all men,
but some men. The problem is up to
the individual lot owner. This can
be made the City Beautiful if every
man and woman who occupies a city
lot will be true to the town he lives
IN and to society and to his or her
own sense of the beautiful"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

By local applications, as they canno

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by an infiamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it IS
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Dixey, and in which he starred for two very success ful seasons. The cast Of the company presenting the play is headed by Will mer Walter, and he and his company play the comedy with just the right proportion Of exaggeration and eIe- gance to make an evenings entertain ment of delicious fooleIy. Under ibeir touch 1t seems the most natural thing In the world for perfectly sane young gentleman to attempt a practical joke by playing coachman and to bring up In the police court because he had mounted to the wrong box; and quite the natural consequence for the young lady, to the box Of whose carriage he had mounted, to pay his fine and 10 hire him for the eoachman he pfetends to be, that she may find out al her Ieis. ute who he really Is. So they beguile usstep by step into believing in their eseapades. The play will be presented with special settings, with no detail of stage production sighted and the pres entaiion Is truly ore of the theatrical events Of the season. Seats on sale Monday noon.
