HFKINLEY HAS
LEFT CHICAGO.
He was Cheered at His
Departure hy an Im-
mense Throng.
A DAY OF HARD WORK.
He Had Scarcely a Moment to Himself all
Day-Although Wearing the President
KiyrMned Himself as Having Kjoyed
Hli Stay A Magnificent Banquet by the
Commercial Club and Visit to the Brick-
layer* and Stone Masons Union.
Chicago. Oot. 10—At 11 30 tonight
President MoKiuley and members of
hie cabinet left Chicago for Evansville,
Ind , on a special train. Hi* departure,
with the cheers of an immense throng
ringing in bis ears, brought to a clone
a day of genuinely hard work, in which
the president had scarcely a moment of
leisure for himself.
Tht^crowls which greeted him at
every turn was so good nstared and so
disposed to cheer that the president,
although wearied, expressed himself as
having enjoyed himself. The final
numbers tonight on the president's ex-
traordinary list of engagements were a
magnilioeut banquet by the Commer-
meroial olnb and his visit to the meet-
ing of the Chicago Brioklayers and
Stone Masons union, of which he, a
forthnightago, was elected an honorary
member.

JORDAN KNOCKED ODT.
The End Cam* In the Sixteenth Bound
After m Brisk Fight.
New York, Oct. 10—At the Lenox
Athletio club tonight Eddy Santry of
Chicago knocked ont Ben Jordan,
featherweight champion of England,
after little less than two minutes in the
sixteenth round of a very brisk fight
Until the knock ont Jordan was far
ahead -on points bnt Gantry's blows
were trner to the mark and won him
the battle.
The little Englishman made a game
fight bnt only upheld his standing as a
boxer. Santry made the fight of his
life and proved one of the greatest sur-
prises of the season. He showed excel-
lent ring generalship. Santry had a
slight advantage in height. Jordan was
two to one the favorite, Santry having
few backers.
ksoe»l Merkel R Aftpondsd ’Only Partly to
Improved Condition*.
New York, Oct. 10—The stock mar-
ket today deni nitrated in a striking
manner its reliance on domestiojmoney
situation and its indifference to events
of foreign lands. The local market
responded only partly to improved quo-
tations from abroad and more than lost
the opening gains before the end of the
first hoar. Than came an announce-
ment from Washington of a decision in
the treasury department to 'anticipate
November interest ou government
bonds without discount and that of the
entire fisoal year at a disoouut of two
tenths of one par cant —about the reg-
ular rate on government bonds. The
response was prompt and emphatio,
prices rising with more apparent
etrength than for a long time past.
Gains ranged from one to over two per
cent in many active stocks Speculative
Industrials were mostly affected, in-
cluding those in I he metal industry.

IXPEBFECT DRAINS.
Care Should be Taken That the Impurltlee
Be Properl/ Carried Off.
Everyone knowe of the fatal results
which follow the stoppage of the drains
in a house.
Queen Victoria's hnsband, the Prince
Contort, died from poisouons germs,
which were generated in the palace by
the stoppage of the drains.
The kidney’s among their many other
fnuotions. act ae drains to the body.
Through them the blood passes to be
purified, leaving behind a mass of effete
matter, whiuh it is their doty to eject
from the system.
When, however, the kidneys beoome
congested and all clogged np, this re-
fuse matter aconmnlates and beoomes
an active poison, and, in oonrse of time,
infects the whole man, and eventually,
if the canse is not removed, it occasions
sadden death, the patient drowning, as
it were, in his own secretions.
The symptoms which Nature puts
forth like danger signals to tell us that
the kidneys no longer do their duty
are too nnmsrons to set forth.
Nearly always women's peculiar ail-
ments in their more aggravated and
protracted forms are traceable to this
source, and rheumatism, in all its va-
ried phases; while pneumonia and
Bright's disease are bnt the culmina-
tion of au organio trouble, which, had
it been treated organically and not
symptomatiottlly, could not possibly
have had any snch fatal termination.
Conghs and colds, strange as it may
seem, are oftentimes symptoms of trou-
ble in the kidneys.
What must be done, then, in these
oases?
It is surely unwise to treat symptoms
when we can at onoe heal the organ
from whence the symptoms rise.
Let ns then at once go to the root of
the trouble and heal the kidneys
There is a remedy known all the
world over, that will strengthen them,
so that they can perform their func-
tions; feeding them and cleansing them
in snch a marvellous manner that the
patient immediately feels the good work
that is going on, and in a few weeks is
able to join the ranks of the many
thousands who gratefully acknowledge
that they owe health and strength, and
sometimes life itself, to this unfailing
remedy, Warner's Sale Care.

About 10 o'clock last night something
ran over a torpedo on Ei Paso street in
front of the Gem Saloon. The noise
was like that of a pistol shot aud
brought policemen running pell mall
to the spot only to find nothing.
A party of strangers ooming over the
river yesterday in a hack were stop
ped at the Stanton street by customs
officers They bad a box of cigars
and several small articles with them
They plead ignorance of the law when
taken np to the custom bouse and were
released upon payment of the duty.
Yesterday morning a clerk in Tanner-
Peuuebaker’s hardware store let a lot of
pipe fall to the pavement in the rear of
the store with a noise that was terrible.
A horse attached to a Pacific Express
company's wagon took fright at this and
started on a run down the street, which
he continued until he ran into Berry’s
meat wagon causing it some slight darn-
age.

Correspondence of tlie Tim es.
Lincoln, N. M., Oct. 8—This town is
the oounty seat of Lincoln county and
is situated on the Rio Bonito, some
fifteen miles east of Capitan or Salado,
tue terminus of the El Paso & North
eastern railroad. It is probably one of
the most peculiarly built towns in New
Mexico, as it is strung out in ranches
along the Rio B mito for a distance of
about eight miles. The town proper
consists of three or four stores, two
saloons, the courthouse aud jail and a
number of residences, together with a
Catholic ohnroh and school house.
There is but one street. The popula-
lion, including the rancheros, probably
amonnts to about five hundred, the
Mexicans predominating.
The courthouse is not a handsome or
imposing structure. It is built of
adobe, two stories in height. The
lower floor is partly used as a store,
and on the second floor, reached by a
stairway ou the outside, is the sheriff’s
office aud courtroom.
But while the court house is not im-
posing in appearance it is of considera-
ble interest as the scene of one of the
many exploits of Billy the Kid. He was
at the time a prisoner and under sen-
tence to be hnng for rnnrder. Owing to
the fact that there was then no jail in
Lincoln oounty, he was kept at the
court house and as his desperate char-
acter was well known he was heavily
gnarded by several deputy sheriffs day
and night and was also shackled hand
and foot.
All precautions, however, proved
vain. The day of the execution was only
a week off when Billy succeeded in some
way in getting his hand loose while the
guards' backs were turned. It was bnt a
moment's work then for him to sieze a
rifle one of the guards had carelessly
left standing in the corner. Everybody
who was then wise got ont of his
way and those who did not he soon dis
posed of. One he shot and killed
through the window. Then he charged
down the stairway. Here he met Depn
ty Sheriff Wilson. Both fired at each
other. The outlaw’s bullet took effeot
and the officer fell.
Billy then captured a Mexican whom
he compelled to file the shackles off his
feet and saddle np a horse for him
After releasing all the other prisoners
he mounted and succeeded in making
good his escape only to meet his death
at the hands of Pat Garrett.
COURT TO CONVENE.
. Since a year ago last April there has
been no session of the district court in
Lincoln county, owing to lack of the
neceisary funds to pay the expenses.
This has been in the past a very 00m
mon evil heie as in other oonnties of
the territory many of whiob are con-
stantly short and overwhelmingly in
debt In the latter respect Linooln
oonnty is not half as badly fixed as
some. The total debt is some $42,000
and is not increasing while with the
bnitding of the railroad the amonnt of
taxable property is bonnd to be greatly
augmented and there is no doubt but
that with good management this oan be
paid off Some counties ou the other

A SENSATIONAL KILLING.
The most important case now await-
ing the action of the grand jury is the
territory of New Mexico vs. Frank
Coe and Ross Coe charged with the
murder of Ervin Lestner.
The killing was a most sensational
one and occurred last spring. It was
sensational on aoconnt of the surround-
ing circumstances and the prominence
of the parties envoived The defend-
ant Frank Coe is one of the best known
men in this section where he and his
two brothers have resided on the
Rnidoso for many years. The other
defendant is a nephew of Frank’s.
The deceased, Ervin Lestner, was a
yonng man of abont twenty-three and
was well known and generally popular
throughout this section where he lived.
Frank Coe had a daughter with
whom youug Lestner had fallen in love
and who returned his affections. Mr.
Coe objeoted to their marriage at least
until his daughter became older. This
did not satisfy the lovers and they re-
solved on an elopement and the tragedy
followed. The following is the gener-
ally cedited version of the killing nec-
essarily more or less one sided.
Ross Coe and young Lestner had
been always good friends and the lat-
ter gave the former a note to deliver
to the young lady to be r :ady on a eer
tain evening. Ross, it appears, deliv-
ered tbe note, bnt at the same time in-
formed her father, and they both lay in
wait for the couple on the evening
named.
Both the young people kept their
agreement and were on hand. They
were abont to mount their horses when
the father, who, with his nephew, was
in the barn by the gate, called to them,
‘Ervin, come here.” Instead of an-
swering the young man drew a pistol
and fired at Mr. Coe, who immediately
retnrned tbe fire with a shotgun, kill-
ing Lestner instantly. An examina-
tion showed that the yonng man was
shot iu the back It is claimed in ex-
planation of this that he whirled in-
stantly around after firing.
Both Mr Coe and his nephew imme-
diately surrendered to the sheriff and
were placed under heavy bonds to an-
swer to the grand jury.

SHE IS NOT PLEASED.
A. O. Halley Ha* a Permit to Go Into Mex-
ico and Bring Hack Strayed Cattle.
A. O. Biiley of Colnmbns, N. M. was
in the city a few days ago on his way
home from the City of Mexico where
he weut iu the interest of the projected
railroad liue from Deming to the Paoi
tic coast of Mexico and also on private
business with the treasury department
of Mexico. Mr. Bailey is a large cattle
owner and bis ranch is looated some
forty miles south of Deming right on
the international line part being in the
United States and part in Mexico.
As a result of this Mr. Baily has had
a great deal of trouble with his oattle
crossing tbe line into Mexico while on
the rauge. Under the law they oonld
not be brought back without passing
through the custom house, exoept by a
special permit from the secretary of the
treasury.
As long as the custom house at Loe
Palomas remained open this did not 00
casiou so mnoh inconvenience, bnt
when that was olosed the nearest was
at Cindad Juarez, and it was too far to
come every time a few animals strayed
over iuto Mexico. So Mr. Baily applied
to the treasury department at Mexico
City for permission to go over after his
stock and bring it at any time without
going through the custom house.
After several months of negotiations
Mr. Baily secured the desired permis-
sion dnring his last visit to Mexico and
will hereafter have no farther trouble
about them.
Mow Mrs. fttftob Is M**d Because the Times
Published the Judge's Statement.
Mrs. John D. Rich was in anything
but a pleasant hnmor yesterday to-
ward the world in general and the
newspaper men in particular. She had
read the statement of Judge Doming-
uez in the Times and was very mad
about it iudeed. She still imagines
that every one in Juarez "has it in for
her” and especially Judge Dominguez,
who for some reason she considers the
chief source of her tronbles.
She was seated in the window look
ing ont when a Times reporter came
along aud before he was within a half
a blook she called ont at the top of her
lnngs, "what are you putting all those
lies in the paper abont me for. It's ail
a lie. If that judge has been telling yon
all that he lies. You needn’t tell me
anything about it I know it all; I have
seen the paper this morning.”
Seeing that any attempt to talk to
her wonld be nseless, the reporter con-
cluded not to waste any time and
passed on, excusing himself on the
ground of being in a hurry. She con-
tinued. 1 owever, to call after him and
abuse the papers and the jndge.
No Newfangled Stove For Her.
A Memphis family which employs an
old time negress as a cook recently had
a gas range put In the kitchen. When
the range was put in place, the work-
man who put it there lighted the jets
Inside the oven -and then closed the
doors. He opened them, turned off the
gas and then, relighting the jets, ex-
plained to the old negress how the
range was used. The jets cannot be
seen when the doors of the oven are
closed, and In the excitement of the ex-
planation the workman closed them
and forgot the lighted jets.
The old negress, after hearing all he
had to say, said;
“’Taiu’t no use ter tell me erbout
hit. I’m gwinter use dis yere ole wood
atove whut lse cooked on so long.”
The workman laughed and w6nt
away, not thinking that the oM cook
meant what she said. She did mean
It, though, aud continued to use the
old wood stove to cook with.
When the ^iead of the family that
employs her received his gas bill 15
days after the gas stove was put in, he
almost dropped dead. The blU showed
that he owed the gas company $21.
Investigation proved that the Jets In
the oven had been burning from tbe
time the workman left. The old cook
had never opened the oven doors.—

Backing Up the Horae.
Not all of the driver’s skill Is devoted
to driving ahead; it takes a good driver
to be able to back up In good shape.
Not every driver, by any means, can
halt and then back up to a curbstone
and hit It square and true with both
wheels the first clip. That Is something
that requires more skill than might be
imagined by one who had never tried
It.
But In backing up on the level, if a
man falls to bit the curb exactly the
first time, he can maneuver until he
does. There are places where skill
must be exercised and where a level
bead Is called for too. For instance.
In backing up, or rather backing down.
Into an excavation on the inclined
causeway left for that purpose. The
excavation Is begun at the rear of the
lot, and the earth forming the cause-
way, running up to the level of tbe
street at the front. Is left until the last.
In the later stages of the excavating
the causeway is left just wide enough
at the top for the carts or wagons to
move on. and Its sides slope down pre-
cipitously. The driver who hacks
down on one of these narrow cellar
causeways simply must hit It right—

FIRST AMERICAN PATENT.
Granted at Boatom Ia 1648 and Call-
ed a Monopoly.
To the general court of Massachu-
setts belongs tbe honor of granting the
first American patent. This was In
1648 and was then designated as a
monopoly. It was confined to the re-
gion controlled by Massachusetts, and
the one Issue apparently included ail
tbe Invention of tbe Inventor connect-
ed with engines that depended upon
water for their motive power. The
limit of the monopoly was 14 years,
and tbe court not only retained power
to forbid exportation, but to prevent
exorbitant charges upon the public for
their use.
The patent was Issued In this form:

Burglary With Sponge and Water.
When a burglar wants to break Into
& Peruvian bouse, he takes a sponge
and a bucket of water and moistens
the walls, which are covered with only
a thin coating of mnd and easily dis-
solve upon the application of moisture.
Then when the mud is removed be
takes a sharp knife and cuts the strips
of split bamboo, which serve aB a sub-
stitute for laths. That easy little oper-
ation produces a hole In the wall large
enough for a man to crawl through
and can be performed so silently that
people sleeping In the house will not
be awakened. Not long ago the resi-
dence of the cable manager at Barran-
ca was ’entered in this way. The
thieves frightened the family, but
were discovered before they had seized
much booty.—Chicago Record.
