esting history. He comes Of a family
OF musicians. Their father being a
bandmaster in the Portuguese army for
many years. He emigrated with his
family, to this country in 1870. Prior
to coming here, Prof. Meyrelles was
leader of the band in the crystal palace.
Of OpOrto, Spain, for five years. He
was a member of the famous Gilmore
band Of Boston and when Gilmore
moved to New York to take charge of
the 22nd Regiment band, Prof.
Meyrelles went along aud remained
with him until 1888 when he was APP
pointed chief musician Of the 2nd u.
S. cavalry.
Besides being a musician of note he is
famous for his compositions and ar
rangement Of military music.
While the 2nd Regiment was in the
northwest he played for three years at
the Mechanics fair and each year re-
ceiyed a premium and q handsome
present in recognition of his services.
His band is composed of 20 members
and will play every afternoon of the
fair, and with the concerts at the
opera house, armory, music of the par
ade and the open air concerts in front
of The San Felipe hotel the visitors
will be royalty entertained.
The poll tax list is now i'm the hands
of D. II. Kedzie, the clerk of the
school board, for collection. All the
money collected on this list goes to
the school fund of this district and no
man should begrudge a dollar to this
object. The tax is onlya dollar and
any Of the railroad boys who have
been paying $3.50 in Tucson can get. a
receipt here that win clear them from
all poll tax collectors until next Sep
TENDER and if they continue paying
here they win save just $3.50 each year
and will besides help the Lordsburq
school by the amount they pay. The
poll tax list is posted in the postoficC
but no one need think he can get out
of paying because his name is not on
the list. No person can vote in New
Mexico hereafter who has not paid hi,
poll tax.
