Republican party politics In New Mex
leo.
Frost went to New Mexico In 1875
as chief OF the United States military
telegraph lines in the territory. He
snperintended the building OF the teIe.
graph line from Santa Fe to Ell Paso
and thence to Phoenix. AS "the man
who made the wires talk" both the
Indians and the native Mexicans
looked upon him as possessed OF su-
pernatural powers. This was really
the foundation of his practical dicta-
torship. The native Mexican element
of the population followed him with
blind devotion, giving him control OF
the balance of power. Under Acting
Governor Ritch, Gov. Lew Wallace,
and Gov. Lionel A. Sheldon, he held
commissions as adjutant general OF
the territory. In that capacity he rid
New Mexico of cattle rustiers, and
took part in several exciting Indian
campaigns.
From the administration of Acting
Governor Ritch down to the present
time Frost is credited with having
been the power behind the throne in
the New Mexico capital. Even during
President CleveIands two administra-
tlons, when Democratic governors
were appointed for the territory, his
dictatorship remained unshaken. Two
years ago Gov. Hagermann Incurred
the bitter enmity of the Blind Boss.
Hagermann's removal soon followed.
and then came the appointment OF
the present governor. George Curry.
Col. Frost made a trip to New York
in November for the purpose Of con.

he had not long to live. No doubt this

THEY INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary CatharticS and Pill
and Harsh PhySic Cause Dis
tressing Complaints.

You cannot be Over-careful in
the selection of medicine for
children. Only the very gentleSt
bowel medicine should ever be
given, except in emergency ca
ses. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do
more harm than good. They
cause gripping, nausea and other
distressing after effects that are
frequently Notwithstanding and
a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall 0rderlieS as the
safest and most dependable rem
edy for constipation and aSsOci
ate bowel disorders. We have
such absOlutel faith in the vir
tues of this remedy that we sell
it on our guarantee of money
back in every instance where it
fails to give entire satisfaction
and We urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Raxall 0rderlieS contain an
entirely new Bgitdient witch
is odorleS, tasteleSs and color
less. As an active agent, it EN-
braces the valuable qualities of
the best known intestinal regu-
latOr tonics.
Rexall 0rderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly
prompt and agreeable in action,
may be taken at any time, day
or night; do not cause diarrhoea,
nausea, gripping, excessive loose
ness or other undesirable effects.
They have a very natural action
upon the glands and organs
with which they come in contact
act as a positive and regulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat of the bowel and its dry
mucous lining; remove irritation,
overcome weakness, tone and
strengthen the nerves and mus
cles, and restore the bowels and
associate organs to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall 0rderlieS completely re.
lieve constipation, except when
of a surgical character. They
also tend to overcome the ne
ceSSity of constantly taking lax.
ativeS to keep the bOwelsl in
normal condition.
There is really no medicine
for this purpose 50 good as
Rexall 0rderlies, especially for
children, aged and delicate per-
sons. They are prepared in tab
let form, in two sizes of packag-
es; IL tablets 10 cents, and SO
tablets % cents. Remember you
