standpoint OF the stockman. has had
the bad end OF 1t this year
The eastern portion OF Socorro

thoroughly familiar with conditions IN
his county, 'and in this section some
of our people are feeling blue just

Practically all OF the stockmen agree
that the disheartening reports of a
short time ago were exaggerated n
that conditions while not UP to tn

worse.

In a dispatch from that place as say

In the meantime alfalfa growers
report conditions that are very ia

BRYAN HITS SALOONS.
Says Drunken Man Is Menace and the
Bar the Meeting Place of Grim
inal Element.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 19.-W. J.
Bryan's expected broadside against the
saloon and the doctrine of personal lber-
~ will appear in the forthcoming issue
IF his Commoner. Mr. Bryan declares
the drunken man is a menace to those
about him and the saloon akin to Il dis
orderly house and gambling hall, the
rendezvous of the criminal element and
the willing tool of the corrupt politician
Discussing the campaign of liquor deal
ers and the issue of personal liberty, he
says:
The liquor dealers, recognizing that
their obvious pecuniary interest would
essen the weight of any argument which
they might publicly advance, are making
their fight under cover of organizations
purpOrting to represent those who use
liquor. Well meaning men have been
misled into believing that every attempt
to lessen the evils Of intemperance is a
fanatical attack on personal liberty.
What is meant by personal libertyT
Does it mean a person has a right TO
drink in any quantity at any time and
in any place, no matter what injury he
may inhict upon others? If not, with
whom rests the right to fix limitations?
The right to drink does not necessarily
include the right to demand the estab-
lishment of a saloon"

PINCH 'WETLECTURER.
Belleville Ull.) Authorities Arrest Anti
Prohib. Who Falls Victim of
Own Tenets.

BELLEVILLE, H., Nov. 19.--James
f. Berry, an prohibition lecturer Of
Peoria, is breaking rocks in the Jail yard
here because he practiced too fully what
he breaches. He will have to work out
a 500 fine on the stone pile.
Ar. Berry was scheduled to hold a
brief for the flowing bowl at Pinckney-
vile, Ill. The evidence would indicate
that he "bowled up instead, and when
the train bearing him rolled into the sta
ton he clambered off and promptly went
to sleep i'll the station. The station agent
presently found him and Weakened him
up. Mr.. Berry was inclined to sleep,
and he told the station agent about it in
language so shocking that the women in
a funeral party near by were Mortified
The result was that the anti-prohibi-
ton lecturer was arrested and passed the
night in Jail here instead of keeping his
engagement. In the morning the judge
before whom he was arraigned thought
that he ought to have little experience
on the rock pile, and he was set to work

SMALL STRIKE GROWS.
Eighty Philadelphia Carpenters Walk
Out and 1000 Others Quit Out
of Sympathy.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 10
AS a result of strike of eighty carpen-
tiers employed in the construction of a
large department store, more than a
thousand workmen on various building
operations in this city are idle today. The
strike of the carpenters was called by
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners Of America which asserts
that a Cincinnati furniture company
having the contract for woodwork in
the department store employs non-union
labor in the company's factory. The
carpenters demand that this firm sublet
the contract to firm employing union
men. The other union workmen at work
on the structure quit out of sympathy
with the carpenters. Among those who
stopped work were fifty-four granite cut
tiers and settlers, and because of their
action the Master Granite Cutters asso-
citation has ordered fourteen firms of
this city to lock out all union cutters.
The union men as a counter move or
dered every man not affected by the
lockout to quit and as a result work on
nearly every building operation where
stone is used is at a standstill.

Reading Mans Hives Yield a Large
Amount of Honey

Reading, Pa. has a bee farm so sit-
uated that 90 per cent. of the people in
that part Of town even do not know of
its presence. 10 the busy bees all roads
seem to lead to this place, for they can
fly 30 feet up in the air and still be abla
to reach their home, without coming in
contact with humanity. At the foot OF
Noyersink mountain, in the northwestern
section of the city, lives Julius Wafner.
ON the roof Of his house are many bea
hives. Under the window stills are a NUM-

Mr.. Wagner made his start in Reading
in 1867 with one hive, according to the

today he has nearly two score hives in

CLEMINSON CASE ENDS.
Taking of Tesmtimony Closes with
Dramatic Suddenness and Argu-
ments Are Commenced.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 19-With dra-
matte suddenness, the taking of testi-
mony in the trial of DR.. Haldane Glenn
inson for the murder of his wife closed
today, and the final arguments to the
jury were begun.
The last words spoken from the wit
ness chair were from the lips of Miss
Cecilia Morgan, sister of Mrs. Clemin-
son, and were in hot response to ques-
tons by the attorney who is defending
DR.. Cleminsou.
Miss Morgan gave a version of con
versations which varied from the story
told by the mother of DR. Clemnson.
The young woman resented questions
asked concerning herself, and intimated
that she had been threatened by the at
torneys for the defense.
Another witness in rebuttal for the
state was Miss Sallie Kolb, sister of
Anna Kolb, who through the trial has
figured as one of the women friends of
DIR. Cleminson. Miss Salle Kolb told
of seeing DR.. Cleminson in the room of
her sister. Anna, when her sister was
suffering from an illness which Anna
said was peritonitis.
Mrs. Cleminson is believed to have
died from choroform poisoning, and the
state contends that the drug was ad-
ministered by her husband

EDITOR OF CENTURY MAGAZINE
SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILURE.

When Only IL Years Old-Wrote
Brilliant Verse. ~

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-Richard Wat
son Glider, veteran editor of the Cen
fury Magazine, and author, died here
Thursday night of heart disease.
He was born at Bordentown, n. j.,
February 8, 1914, and was the son of
Rev. w. H. Glider, Methodist divine of
marked literary bent, who added to his
meager income by contributing occasional
articles to the magazines of his day, and
who was at one time editor of the Phila-
delphia Repository. Richard Watson
was one of eight children, and his educa-
tional opportunities were slight. dis
taste for literature was unmistakable,
and it is recorded that at the age of II
years he was already editing journal
at Flushing, l.. l., little four-pagee
paper which bore the ambitious title OF
st. Thomas Register.
Four years later he collaborated with
others in the editing of campaign paper
which championed the cause of Bell and
Everett for presidential honors. His in
terest in national politics remained keen,
and when the Civil war broke out he be
came a member of Lands Philadelphia
battery, enlisting for and serving through
"the emergency campaign" of 1863 After
his release from military service, Mr..
Glider took up the study of the law, but
the death of his father interfered with
his studies and he served for a time as
a railway paymaster.
A year later he abandoned this work
for the position of a reporter on the New
ark Advertiser, becoming successfully
legislative reporter. local editor and man
aging editor. After brief but disas-
trous experience as proprietor of another
daily journal, Mr.. Glider entered upon
his real career by assuming the editor
ship of a New York monthly, Hours at
Home" published by the Scribners.
When Scribner's was started Mr.. Gil
der became managing editor of that pub
LEGATION. and upon the death of DR.. Hol-
land its editor in chief. he was elevated
to the latter's chair. During the eleven
years of his editorial connection with the
monthly prior to the death of its chief,
Mr.. Glider had contributed frequently to
its pages A series of papers published
under the title of the "Old Cabinet

rr DR.. Hollands death occurred in 1881.
and after fifteen months passed in Eu-
rope Mr.. Glider assumed charge. 1t was
about this time that the name of the
magazine was changed to the Century.
His frs tvolume of verses appeared in
1879. He called it THE New Day" and
many of the songs had a technical finish
and purity of feeling which won him no
tee. Five years later he published a sec
ond volume, THE Poet and His Master"
which was followed in 1885 by Poems
and Lyrics"
