Rumor has it that Jesse Payne has
been slated for chief of police, and
many believe that the appointment
has been made, but will not b anrounc-
ed until Mayor Magoffin is far away.
Payne is said to have been selected as
a compromise candidate between Con
Lockhart and Jim Dwyer. The rumor
is being talked of generally in political
circles and every one seems to be salts
fled with the appointment, if an ap-
pointment it is. Mr.. Payne was asked
by a HERALD reporter about the
appointment, but said that while he
was candidate and his prospects were
good, that he had not been notified
that he had been selected.

pecially the new city administration
will read with sorrow this lines: 1t
was only yesterday Rounn About came
very ne ar being hauled out to the Pot
ter's field a corpse. 1t came about this
way: While riding leisurely along on
bis bike he tried to pass a drunken
Jehu in an express wagon. We turned
to the right the driver to the left and
all the way that Round About could
keep from being run over was by slap
ping the horse in the face and stopping
him, which nearly threw the driver
off his seat In this way we saved our
precious life and are enabled to write
this account, instead of having somebody
else to write an obituary telling how
our poor body was ground to pieces
under the wheels of remerseless ex-
press wagon, and also telling of our
good qualities as citizen and voter,
but never mentioning our faults and
frailties.
John Saunders is now the city jailor,
Dick Blacker failing to qualify for the
office. Carl Smith has been put on the
force in place of G. E. Jones, removed.
The old police force is almost gone.
To Harry Chairman: Fire your dog
catcher after some of the bad dogs
about the city and we won't do thin @
but say nice things about you, set your
name in a box car letters and see that
you have a cartoon standing with big
keunel ard that the dog is seeing all
the stars in the milk-away.
The mayor is going to San Antonio
and the suppositIon is that he
will appoint new chief of police and
then put many mills between him and
Ell Paso before the people find it out.
The program for the fremen's
convention has been changed. The
bicycle parade that was fixed for
Thursday night has BEEN changed to
Wednesday night. This was done be-
cause there was so much on the pro
gram for Wednesday that it would
have tired the people out watching the
amusements. All bicycl who wish to
join in the parade can get further i'm
formation by calling on Floyd Payne.
Schools will be dismissed, court will
adjourn and everything of public ma
ture will take a holiday next Thursday
out of respect for the visiting fremen.
Merchants and business men are re-
quested to close at least half day and
give the clerks chance to see the
parade.
Ex-Clerk Kitchen has opened up
for the fremen this
in the Sheldon block. and
will have everything in readiness for
the visiting fremen next week. A
register will he kept and all visitors
will be requested to sign their name or
make their mark On its pages. This
last safeguard is done SO that if any of
the visitors should get lost in the city
they can trace themselves back to head
quarters.

had the HERALD ask you to clean

I cannot say enough for its merits" Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.. It has been trle4 for quarter of century, and to-day stands at the head.

Another Rich Strike.

Frsnk Prothero, the old time scout trailer and Rll round good fellow from Maricopa County. has made a big strike six miles from Adondo pump, this county, and if surface indications count for any, thing. Frank has rival for the s. H. mountains bonanza.
 Twenty feet of shaft shows well defined ledge five feet wide, ranging in value from $25 to $15O per ton free milling ore.
 Prothero will be remembered as the trailer who took the track of the mur!erers of the Gribble party in 1896, who were conveying the bullion from Vulture to Phoenix. From the beginning he out traiied the Indian trackers and never stopped going single handed and often days at a time without eating until he run the murderers to earth and killed the leader, 1nnocente Valensuella and re- covered the $S 900 bar of bullion.
 His desperate fight with Price, the Phoenix murderer and jail brea ker, two years ago, proves that Frank is not afraid to have a few button holes worked in his "carcass."
 Fighting aeainst two desperate men he staid single handed and with a broken arm until he had killed Price and bagged his companion.
 Phoenix parties are interested in the new strike and force of men will be put on immediately to begin developing the "Yellow LnS," the name of the new strike.

Haunted!

The human tenenment is often haunted-to the grIevous discomfort of it's possessor-by those malignant spirits, constipation and biliousness But the abominahle pair may be speed fly driven out with the potent help of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This genial alternative, while it relieves the bowels and regulates the liver, never, as drastic purgative does, produces violent effects and weakens the in testines. On the contrary, the action of the Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort et nature seeking to resume her proper functions. This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence that 1t is better to us persuasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature to return to duty. Violent remedies produce only temporary effect, followed by hurtful reaction. For indigestion, malarial and kidney complaints, rheumatism and nervous ness, the Bitters takes highest rank among remedies Of the philosopbic school
