Last Nights PLAY.

The play last night at the Myers
opera house was an agreeable surprise
to those who attended. Ell PasO
theatre goers have been afraid to at
teod shows that charge cheap prices,
but in the Buchanan Farce Comedy
company they will find a high class
show at cheap price. Everything
about the show was gOcd and the act
ing perfect. 1t is not alone the stars
that are good, but there is not weak
point on the whole company The
songs and dances are up-to-date and
there is plenty of that amusement.
Wedr esday night the company will
appear in "a Pretzel.' In this play
NJ. Keogh has starred the country play
ed in ali the large cities and proven
the PLAY a success. He is comedian
of the first water and with the strong
company behind him he is sure to
please the public. The ladies ot the
company are young and vivacious, and
above all first class actresses. On
Wednesday night the prices will be
the same as last night.
on Thursday night the company will
introduce Magnescope, which will eX-
hib:t betSs zen the acts showing the
greatest wonder of the age-pictures OF
people in actual movement. This OF
itself is novelty enough to draw large
house, but with the show in connection
there should be a packed house.

about which he had been reading in
the Dallas News, and watched the OBJ
Ject clio ;eIy. 1t came close to where
he was lying and did not seem to b.
more than 800 feet in the air. 1t made
no noise, bat he could hear voices as if
two or more people were talking. As
the air ship passed over him its course
was changed aad it rose to higher al
titude; its speed was considerably
slackened ana for over an hour it soar
ed over the city going in all directions
After awhile it started off south in the
direction of Chihuahua and it was lost
sight of. The man says the ship APP
peared to be cigar shaped and was from
10 to 90 feet long. The man says he was
not frightened, neither was he drink

do this as they are better equipped hn-
ancially than any other company in the
city. Just what kind of an entertain
ment will be given is not yet known, bat
it is supposed it will be of the banquet
order.
The second nights entertainment
will be given over in JuareZ. where
the visitors will come in contact with
Mexican customs and Mexican Hospital
lily. This will be great treat and
novelty to the visitors that will be nigh
ly appreciated by them, something
they will always remember. and it Will
do much to cement the already kindly
feeling of Americans for the MeXicans
1t is to be hoped that Gov. Ahumada
will be on hand to extend the courte-
sizes of his state to the visiting hre
fighters.
The third night will be devoted to
oneof those unique and gorgeous blow
outs at the McGinty club grounds.
The affair will be similar to the one
given the Texas editors when they were
here last year, and which did more to
make Ell PasO and the MEG nty club
famous than any other one thing did
during the meeting of the Press as5o-
citation here last year.
The day will be devoted to the bust
ness meeting of the convention and one
udy " III NC SCISCbSu iOI d BiI elAO GIL -
practice of the fire department.
Efforts are also being made to get up
running matches and athletic sports
among the firemen. 1t is believed that
FL Paso has some of the best runners
that can be procured among firemen,
and the fire departments of Albuquer-
que, Las Vegas, New Mexico: and Pres
colt, Arizona, have been challenged to
participate in these sports for which a
medal will be given as premium.
After the convention has adjourned
arrangements have been made for an
excursion to the City of Mexico for
those of the fremen who wish to make
the trip. A round trip rate of SO has
been made, aud arrangements are now
being made by which excursfonists can
get thirty day lay over ticket by 60
ing through the proper process.
Other arrangements may be made in
the future but much depends on the
success of the subscription committee
that is out today soliciting money for
good and worthy cause-to the enter
taiument of the volunteer fire depart
ment of Texas.

ing, but took q close look at the ship
ana studied all its movements. In
front and back there was a tremendous
strong search light, AMI at the port
holes IN the sides rays OF bright light
streamed out. Ga each side of the
shiO there were large winp-shaped
coutrivances and on each end two large
prOpellers which turned with furious
velocity. On top there appeared to be
several OF these propellers that moved
very fast. This is the description as
given by the man and the report and
cut herewith are given for what they
are worth. 1t is reported that other
parties saw it, Clerk Kitchen among
others, but he would no admit it when
questioned by HERALD reporter.

The Election Contest.

At , O'Clock this afternoon the city
council met with the mayor and all the
aldermen present and large number
of citizens in the hall.
The first business was motion by
Judge Coldwell that the council pro
ceed to open the election returns and
declare the officers elected. This mo-
ton was seconded by Alderman Whit
more. Then Judge Coldweu started
in 10 tell about paatisan fights, ect
and how the council had no business
hearing contested cases, electra, etce:-
IA, and so on.
Alderman Kachler offered a substi-
tute to Judge Coldwell's motion that
the council proceed to listen to the
contest. This was seconded by Alder
man Stewart who said he was not well
posted on the case and seconded the
motion to get all the facts he could so
as to tell better how to vote in the end.
After a short wiangle by Judge
Coldweil in which he deplOred q parti-
zau fight in the council, but at the
same time poured hot lead into his
opposition part the council then took
vote on allowing one attorney on
each side to read law to the council for
half an hour apiece, Alderman Rob
| erts said as the motion carried that
the aldermen would know less what tC
do after the attorneys were through
than they did before they started in to
tell the council their duty. No one
/ seemed to catch onto the idea that
good Judgment was better than law for
the council to act on.
| AS the HERALD goes to press Judge
Kemp is arguing at length from a long
list of authorities constitutional and
otherwise, with considerable ANNA
ton. with fair prospect of the hearing
continuing for some time.

A ChiId'S Health

depends almost wholly on the mothers,
not only before its birth but after
wards. y sick mother can't properly
care for her chi.d's health. y sick
mother sometimes bears a healthy
child. but it isn't to be expected. May
be the baby will possess the appear
ance of health, but will lack stamina.
Maybe innate weakness will develop in
after years. Every woman should be
particularly cal efu! of her health dur
ing the period of gestation-when the
child is really a part of herself. Dur
ing all this time, she should keep her
body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her
time of labor. For this purpose DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is pres
cribed. It has been used 10 thousa Dds
of cases, with the most gratifying re-
suits. 1t is tonic to the whole body,
but particularly to the organs distinct
ly feminine. 1t so prepares the system
for childbirth, as to render it almost
painless. 1t cures all female troubles
and promotes regularity.
