81 see that slur has been cast at
the county commissioners because
they saw bit to b4uuOu the county poor
farm and lease tine old hospital at Old
Fort Bliss, and 1t Is lntlm ct I'd that the
reasons for the removal was that the
hospital at Cd Fort Bliss would be
nearer u certain grocery store IN this
city, sad county official this morn
Ing. Now If that was the Case II
would not be more than right as IL Is a
well known fact that the only good The
poor farm was 10 Ell Paoo county was
mat 1T give ring democratic boss at
SocOrro a chaLce at tie county funds
at every meeting of the commissioners
court. The lengLh OF some OF the said
bUsses bills was partly the cause OF the
removal, but tine main cause was heaVy
expense the county Was put TO In m4lu-
I'd ming d farm down at SOcOrrO. La /
year bhe pauprrs cost the county near
" 5000, anu most Of this money went
l-Out for hospital aud medicine bills.
Inc facts OF the case are that the couu-
ty never sends people to the poor farm
unless they are euLlrely inexperienced
from work and for this reason the
farm has always been Improbable and
1t has really Deen hospital Instead of
farm, as the farm has never produced
y
cOmpels the county 10 take care OF its
md gent poor and 1t would be more
prof liable TO the county TO have hos
pital tnan a farm, as many of those
VINO are sent there would be enabled to
10 the work around the hospital while
they could not POSSIBLY GO prof I'd biz
WORK on farm. Tuen again a great
expense will be saved by sending the
InoIge sick 10 the county hosp tai
instead of sending the IN 10 Hotel DIeu
as The county las mouth had to pay
that Institution $40 for county patients:
there wuulu b. qulCe saving to equity
physician also aud his expenses would
not run up 50 nigh as they would II ne
were required to II IKE trips sixteen
miles down the valley TO see county
patient, all said expenses the county
mas to pay. The act of the county
com ID iouers Yesterday will save the
county rom $1,000 To $1,000 yearly, and
| besides tuls the supplies can be bought
cheaper aud where there Is more COM

Law breakers are always afraid of
good and efficient officer, said cltl-
| zen TO Round About today. George
HerOld Is no saint, but he Is an Ohcer
that violators OF the law fear, and for
that reason every kind OF Star has
| been thrown at him. George Is holy
terror to sneak thieves anu has eecul Ell
the return of enough SLolea goods to pay
his salary for Il wear, but he has ben
charged by EVIL, doors with ali sorts OF
crimes, still he keeps right along IN
the even tenor of hi, way a1d al ways
succeeds in catching up with his accuS-
ers somewhere before he Is through
with them. AT every incoming city
administration HerOli is fired from
the police force, but IL is not long be-
fore the city finds out that 1t Is hard TO
get man to take his pl ace aud do as
eific .ent work as he can do"
"The law requiring aliens to take out
naturalization PAL ; SIX morthS be-
fore election IS 5 rictly in force" said
Regjs'ra Hove this morning. Yes
terIay case of this Charac-
ter came up. y Mexican presented
him elf for regis ration and his D-p rs
showed that he was only natural Z d
little over four months ago Reglstra-
ton was refused him and he went away
to get another naturalization paper
that dated further back. | | require
of any man is that he be IA good Am r.
can voter, and then he can register,
otherwise he will get no papers. This
strict comE lance with the law will be
hard on some of the so-called voters
but they will have to stand it at the
coming election, The election will be
a fair one as far as it lies in my power
to make it 500
