TEAM WINS BUT LITTLE

The Tucumcari High School team Of
athletes went over to Albuquerque last
week filled with expectations and came
home with high praise for the ability
Of Albuquerque and Roswell to do the
stunts a little too fast for the other
competing teams.
Tucumcari qualified three men and
succeeded in entering the contests in
a hopeless condition.
The boys claim that the altitude Is
considerable higher than here and il
was impossible for them to do thing.
The times made during the various
events broke all previous records in
almost every event.
Tucumcari's crack 100-yard man
was put in the first heat of the try
out and was beaten only n few inches
by Roswell and Albuquerque with their
speed kings in the race. In the second
heat Goldenberg was too anxious to
win and fell down in the getaway,
and was never able to regain what he
lost so he failed to qualify. Gerhardt
won a place in the third heat but as
he don't claim 10 be fast in the 100
yard sprint, failed to win place in
the finals on Saturday.
Gentry, the crack miller, was forced
to quit in the third lap on account Of
the altitude putting him to the bad.
He was leading the field up TO the time
he gave down and had to be carried
to the club rooms.
DeOliviera qualified in the half mile
dash but was unable to do anything
in the finals because he said the alti-
tude was too high and he became
deathly sick after the finish on Fri
day.
And so the story goes all down the
line, but the boys had good time and
were loud in their praise of the treat
ment they received at the hands of
the citizens of Albuquerque. They
arrived home Sunday night and were
not long in getting away from their
admirers and thus avoiding the an
swering of lot of questions which
were being hurled at them from all
sides.

NEW MEXICO SCHOOL BARRED

Alamogordo, n. NJ, April 2S.-The
New Mexico Institute for the Blind,
winner Of more trophies and pennants
than all other state institutions com
bined, has been literally legislated out
Of the National Athletic Association of
schools for the blind. The elimina-
ton of New Mexico as an unwelcome
competitor and a disturbing factor,
has been brought about through grad
ual changes which each year made
success harder for the little school
to achieve.
Sixteen state institutions for the
blind comprise the national associa-
ton. New Mexico became affiliated
with the association in November 1909
just after X. X. Pratt came from the
Western Pennsylvania institute, at
Pittsburg, to take charge Us superin-
tendent. Beginning in February, 1910
when the boys indoor contest was held
New Mexico has participated in II
contests, winning first place eight
times, second place twice, third place
once and finishing Outside the money
once.
Events were changed from time to
time; poorest performances were
brought into consideration and the
school graded on the class average;
basis of classifying the student body
changed until the rules of 1915 pro-
vide there must be five classes of five
students each, and that no school is
eligible to enter the contest unless it
has five classes of five students each.
New Mexico entered the contests of
1913 and 1914 under the handicap of
one or more classes missing, and now
will have to stay out of the contests
altogether,

RESUMES WORK

The fiber factory, after being out
Of commission on account of broken
machinery for several days, is again
doing full time and turning out work
which was necessarily delayed. This
company has not yet received all its
machinery and one or two machines
broken delays the work, but later on
enough machines will be place here
and this will not handicap them so
much as IL does at present.
Big loads of bear grass come in ev-
cry day and many car loads are ex-
pected TO arrive soon.

MANS MOST USEFUL AGE

Investigations by keen men have
shown that mans best work has been
done between the ages of GO and 20
years of age.
Six hundred of the most important
scientists, statesmen and old world fa-
nous men were selected, and it was
found that only five per cent of them
accomplished their worlds work be-
fore the age Of forty; ten per cent be-
tween the age of forty and fifty; TWEEN
ty per cent fifty and sixty, thirty-five
per cent between sixty and seventy;
twenty-one per cent after they had
reached the age of seventy.
The foregoing was taken from an
address by Pres. +. r, Bryan of the
Colgate University.

vANS|CKEL IS GIVEN
HIS FREEDOM BY JURY
AFTER LEGAL BATTLE

The Vansickel murder case was the
most interesting on the docket this
term. The lawyers were kept busy
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
forenoon examining jurors TO sit on
the trial.
After that task was completed the
legal battle of three able lawyers on
each side began. New evidence was
sprung by the prosecution and seemed
to carry great weight with the jury
and audience. This was demonstra-
tion of how Anderson was shot and
how the clothing was pierced by the
bullet. During the arguments this
feature was dwelled on by both sides,
one showing II one way while the
other explained il to suit its particu-
lar side of the case. This one fact
was where the jury studied and after
examining the clothing, trying the
coat and shirt on each other, they de-
cided that the left arm must have
been in the position as the defendant
said IL was to have been pierced as il
was.
The court room was crowded from
morning till night and many sat for
hours listening to the arguments and
testimony. The best of order pre-
vailed at all times and the lawyers
were given the strictest attention by
all.
The jury after being out about four
hours returned "a verdict of mot
Guilty" and Caria Vansickel, who had
been confined in the county Jail for
more than year, was set free Mon
day night.

THE WAY TO GET 4 CROWD

One thing that will prove Tucum-
carl has few people down town at
all times is fire alarm or a concert
on the corner of Main street. Yester-
day afternoon when the negro min
strel show arrived and unloaded at
the depot there were but one or two
people on the street. The band was
ready for the concert and came up
town and commenced playing. Before
the third piece was played every avail
able spot on the corner seemed TO have
been taken and good-sized crowd of
people heard the music as only real
good musical organization can pro-
duce il.

TRIBUTE TO UNCLE KLINE"

l.. l.. Klinefelter, editor of The Obar
Progress, died in a hospital at Tucum-
carl last Friday Of heart disease. He
was 66 years of age.
Mr.. Klinefelter, Familiarity and af-
feetionately known TO all the news
paper workers of the southwest az
Uncle Kline Of Obar," founded the
Progress at Obar and soon made il
the best known and most widely
quoted weekly in New Mexico.
He had almost reached the end of
the allotted span OF life-the three
score years and ten--yet the spright-
liness of his writings gave evidence
that he still felt that joy in living
which so often fades with the passing
of youth. A big man in person, he
was likewise great of heart and Of
unusual mental power. He was blunt
in his honesty and most cordially de-
spised frauds and shams. frequently
making them the targets for his
flashing wit.
Almost literally il seemed that he
sowed the sunshine and scattered
deeds of kindness. Always his big,
strong hand was stretched out to make
steady those whose courage faltered
along the rough way of life.
II will be many day before we
quit whispering, with sense of pro-
found loss; Uncle Kline is gone"
The jovial person is gone, but Uncle
kline's influence will be expressed,
day by day, and week after week. in
the newspapers of this desert land
that he loved so well and for which he
worked so faithfully.--Otero County

A MERCILESS
 JUDGE
One Who Shows No Favor.

A merciIess judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the want ing go to the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement has withstOod this stern- est of all tests.
 John Carpenter, 5O1 N. stanton St, Fl Paso, Texas, says; T had pains in my back, especially when I arose from a sitting position or made a sudden move. The kidney se- cretions were profuse at times and tbCn again scanty and contained a brick-dust sediment. During cold weather, they were too frequent in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills entire ly relieved me of the trouble. " Statement given February 4, 19OT.

NeuraIaia.

Severe neuralgia can be cured by in jectiug alcohol into the nerves, but the cost is terrible, for the price is the death of the nerve, with paralysis as the result Such, in brief, Is the con- cIuslon which pr. Williams B. Cad walader reports to the Journal of the American Medical association after eX- Deriments made at the laboratory of neuropathology of the University of Penusylvanla. The alcohol kills not only the nerves of sensation, but the motor nerves as well. In a nerve like the sciatlc this would be serious. For the nerve may remain paralyzed for year after the injection of the alcohol In trifacial neuralgia, which is caused by a purely sensory nerve, thls action is of little importance. The cure is not permanent however, but affords free dom from pain for several months, per haps as much as a year. The nerves regenerate just as they do when sey- cred.

BENDER'S CAPTAIN USED
 BEACH AS DRY DOCK

Valdez ProspectOr: When the schooner Bender Bros, broke her tail shaft in Queen Charlotte sound while on her way to Koskokwim a few weeks ago, Captain Louis Kna- fIich, the master, hOisted the yes sels canvas, and sailed fifteen miles to a cove, where he ran the vessel on the beach at high tide When the tide went out the schoOn- CT was lief high and dry. Captain Knaflich and Engineer c. A. Lister removed the remnants of the brok- on tail shaft and installed a new one. Then they fitted on the pro peller and when the tide came in ran the vessel back into deep water without the least difficulty.
 In no time the Bender Bros. was churning her way northward for the Alaskan peninsula and the Kuskok- vim river district. Ordinarily, if a vessel breaks her tail shaft, the master gets her back to port for drydocking as quickly as possible, thereby piling up a lot of expense. Kuaflich, however, is one of the most resourceful naYigators of nor theru waters, and he Utilizes the tide and the beach for drydOcking purposes.
