FIVE RICHEST WOMEN.

II Sonora CUISINE is not the richest
woman in the world, she is certainly
one OF them, for she Is credited with
the possession OF coin, valuables and
estate which amount In value to
100000. 900. She comes OF an old
Chilean family, and since the death
of her husband; she has man.
aged her enormous properties in
silver. copper and coal mines with
wonderful success. She ownes a
fleet OF steamers, a magnificent estate
near Santiago. and employs hundreds
Of workpeople in her vineyards
alone. In fact, she owns a town-the
mining port OF Lata. whence she
ships coal to all the South American
ports. This town is run" by this
remarkable woman, even to its dra-
perry and grocery stores.
There is no doubt as 10 who is
the richest lady In Germany. She
used to be known everywhere In the
fatherland as Bertha Krupp. but she
has now reached the dignity Of q
married woman, and is Frau Won
Bahlen. 1t Is quite impossible to
state what the daughter OF the great
gunmaker-the Armstrong OF Ger
many-is worth, but II is generally
believed that her income Is $4,000
IA week--a sum which would be re-
garded by the great majority OF this
lucky woman's fellow countrymen as
very tidy fortune in Itself. Frau
Won Bohlen Is one OF the most popu-
lar woman in Germany, and. like
many other wealthy women, inelud-
ing more than one member Of the
royal house, Is a model in all good
housewifery, as well as in the virtue

Regarding
School Pupils

At the last term of the grand
jury Of Quay County a number
of complaints were made by 10.
cal school authorities on account
of violations of the school laws
At the beginning of a term of
school it may be of interest to
call attention to the laws for the
protection of school children.
1t is unlawful in this territory to
permit minors and school child
rem to loiter about saloons and
places where liquor is sold, or to
engage in games at such places
Or at places where tobacco is Of
fered for sale. 1t is also unlaw-
full to sell to or give to minors un
der eighteen years or to school
children Intoxicating liquor or
tobacco in any form, without
parents consent. Children of
school age must attend school;
and must be vaccinated. These
are laws which the school au-
thorities in this territory are try
ing to enforce. District Attorney
McElroy has decided views upon
their enforcement, and says
that the laws for protection of
school children must be obeyed.

FINE CORN
FROM RILEY

c. l.. Riley brought the
News as fine a half dozen ears
of field corn as we have ever
seen. These were grown on
Mr.. Riley's farm, four miles
west of town, without irriga-
tion, the field consisting of
twenty acres. A splendin sam
pie of broom corn accompanied
the corn. Mr.. Riley says the
only trouble with the broom
corn is he didn't plant enough
of it. 1t proves however that
broom corn will do we'll here
and is a money making crop
for the valley. The load of
watermelons, Mr.. Riley
brought in with him, were sold
in short order, as there never

WATER
CARNIVAL
POSTPONED

Willard, N. NJ, Sept. 12-
The first Annual Water Car
nival, announced to be held
in Willard, September 18th
and 18th, has been postponed
for a couple of weeks. The
DunIavy pump could not be
put in operation by that date,
and the plant on the Peter
McKissor farm, adjoining town
on the west is out of commits
sion. 1t was thought advisa-
BILE by the committee IN charge
of the affair to postpone the
Water Carnival until these
two pumps could be put in
working order.
The purpose of the fair was
to demonstrate to visitors, that
Willard has the water for irri
cation, and to conduct this
demonstration close to town,
in order that all who visited
the town might go home with
a favorable impression.
Ernest BrickIy, secretary Of
the Commercial club, wishes
to be quoted as saying that
''the Water Carnival will pos
itiveIy be held at Il date to be
announced the latter part of
the month, or as soon as these
two pumps can be put in work
ing order "
There are several other
pumping plants in this viclni-
ty that are pumping daily,
among them the one on the
E. A. Vonderveld ranch and
the one put in this spring by
the DilIey boys, Charley and
Roy. They are both more
than five miles from town,
however and it was hardly
practicable to transport the
visitors that distrance for the
demonstrations.

the outer wall, and ripped out
some of the joists underneath
the floor. The wheels of the
car, after having left the track
did not seem particular as to
their choice Of "a path, tearing
up ties and cinders in great
shape. After some work on
the part of the wrecking crew,
the car was again placed on
the track, not mnch the worse
for the experience, but the
cavity still yawns, where the
platform used to was.
