School Record Made by San.
ia Fe County One
To Be Proud
Off

Santa Fe, March 20. Thirty
eight new school rooms through
state aid in Santa Fe county, each
room representing state aid to the
extent of $3.50, is the recoad set
by County School Superintendent
John V. Conway.
Of course, there is more to it
than the state aid alone, for each
district, no matter how poor, must
first pledge itself to raise a certain
amount of money and labor and
in each instance the list is head
ed by Superintendent Conway
with a five or ten-dollar contribu-
ton, and it is wonderful what an
incentive that is even to the poor
est citizen to do his full duty.
Pathetic stories of self-denial
might be told, of contributions of
labor and money by those who
are bitterly poor, just so that
their district might have a mo-
dern school house and their chill
dren a good education. = -Albu-
querque Morning Journal.

In Congress

The congressman and senators
Of the United States are very
busy these days with the import
ant matter of the repulsion of the
Canal Toll Law, which has been
made a national issue in which
the honor Of this country is at a
stake.
Many speeches have been made
by both parties, both in favor and
against the proposition, and the
question is so delicate by itself
that it cannot be ascertained what
the outcome will be.
Latest dispatches from Wash
ington say that President Wilson
has obtained a victory over his
opponents, when the lower house
of congress voted to support the
administration by a vote of 247
for the measure and 161 against
it.
An exciting debate took place
in the chamber, and the leading
Democrats of the house took sides
with the opposition.
The bill now will pass to the
senate, where it will be referred
to the committee on interoceanic
canals, of which Senator O'Gor-
man, of New York, is the chair
man, 1t is expected that a vigor-
Gus fight will take place in the
committee, but it will be reported
to the senate in short time.
The scene in the house when
the vote was taken, was un-
rivaled in the history of Amer

TOrreon Still in Hands OF the
Federals
T! !T:E%

Nothing new has happened in
the war in Mexico, and every tele-
gram that happens to appear on
this side Of the line is promptly
denied and declared q fake" by
both parties.
In the middle Of all this, one
thing is evident. The rebels have
not taken Torreon, but have found
themselves in dangerous posi-
ton, losing many soldiers and
gaining ground little by little.
1t is said that heavy reinforce
ments are in the way from Sal
tillo under Gen. De Boure, who
has about5, 900 men. To counter
act this move, Gen. Monclovio
Herrera has left for the east in
an effort to engage the federals
and prevent their reaching Tor
reon.
Villas forces are said to be IN
the neighborhood of the city fight
ing the federals in their barracks.
and it is reported they will have
to demolish the buildings near by
in order to bring their artillery
into action.
However, the fall Of Torreon is
expected any time, according to
reports given outby Gen. Carran-
"a, who is at Juarez.
The circulation of Villa'smoney
has been ordered suspended by
Carranza, in order to check out
the fake money that in great
quantities is circulating in rebel
territory. More than a million
dollars worth of bogus Villa mo-
ney is reported to be in circula-
ton, and this caused the rebel
chief to issue strict orders for its
circulation. A new issue Of cur
rency will take the place of this
money, and will be put in circula-
ton in two weeks
In recent engagements in Mon
clova, the rebels had about 1,OOO
casualties, as we'll as about 10Oin
Sierra de Arteaga. The advance
of the rebels in Tamaulipas has
been annihilated. The long ex.
pected battle in the neighborhood
of Tampico has not taken place
according to the latest dispatches
from the naval officers in that
vicinity.
One sensational news that
reached the frontier. but was
quickly suppressed, is that of the
wounding of Villa, who is report
ed to be slightly wounded. How.
ever, this report could not be
verified.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT SANTA FE
FOLLOWED BY LYNCHING

One of the most terrible crimes
in the annals of the City of Santa
Fe was committed, when Adolfc
Padilla killed his beautiful 18-yeal
old wife, Refugio Blea de Padilla,
Saturday night.
The murderer killed a dog first,
and then hiding behind the stove
in the kitchen, waited until his
wife came in, then a struggle
took place, in which he slashed
her throat several times and cut
her arms inficting several wounds
when she was trying to defend
herself.
Her screams attracted the at
ention of her relatives and Maria
Sena, a neighbor, entered the
room at the time when he was
upon the body, and to the ques-
ton of what are you doing?"
he replied: Il am finishing the
job of killing this "
Maria Sena then went to the
house of Jose D. Sena and tele-
phoned the police. Marshal Nj
colas Sena arrived at the scene of.
the killing and arrested Adolfo,
who had taken refuge in the house
of Francisco Gutierrez, a neigh
Dor.
The kitchen where the crime
was committed was literally cov-
cred with blood on the floor and
walls had hand prints of the de-
ceased that could be seen all over.
1t had been arranged to give
him a preliminary hearing on
Wednesday morning before Dis
trict Judge E. C. Abbott, but the
mob was quicker than the JUSTICE
and on Tuesday morning at about
l O'Clock, a party composed of
something like 25 to SO members,
went to the Jail, then guarded by
one lone jailer, which they over
powered, and taking the keys
from him, they went to the cell
and took Adolfo out to the near
est corner where he was cut to |
pieces with knives, in about the
same fashion he had killed his
wife. -Four shots were then fired, |
but it could not be learned if they
took effect in his body, and then
they fled leaving the dying man
to bleed out. From there he was
brought back to the Jail and DR..
j. M. Diaz and DR.. Knapp sum;
moned. The physicians at once
stated that Padilla had no chance
whatever of recovery and a priest
was sent for to administer the
last rites to the dying man.
All the members of the gang
were masked and their identity
could not be learned. though the
jailer stated that both EnglishI
and Spanish were spoken by them
in the few words they spoke.
Padilla died at II o'clock a. m.,
after ten hours Of suffering from
the cruel wounds inflicted upon
his body, and it is said he made a
statement saying he knew some

From the beginning of romantic his

ems hair as one of her chief charms.
Fair locks amply pay for the care and
time used in keeping them beautiful

In washing the hair it is not advisable
TO use a makeshift but always use
a preparation made for shampooing
only. You can enjoy the best that is

Your hair will be so fiuffy that it will
look much heavier than It is. It's
lustre and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
