JOHN O'KEEFFE.

The candidate on the republican
ticket for mayor, was born in New
ork City, in 1871. He has lived dur
ing the past II years in Ell Paso, during
which time he has been an empInye of
the Times Publishing Co. About 5
years ago his name was prominently
before the republican county conven-
ton for the office of district clerk. and
again in 1894 for the Office of county
clerk, and although he was OF success
fu', he took Off his coat in the interest
OF the ticket. In 1895 he was elected
aS republican adldermau from the 1st
ward, and during his term of office was
elected mayor pro ten. AS alderman
his course in favor of the city owner
ship of the wa'er works, and against
granting the railroad franchise north
of Sixth street, has given satisfaction
to the mass of voters. In 1896 thu FL
Paso de egation to the congressional
convention unanimously placed him in
nomination for congressman, but he de-
ciued. Last fall he made gallant
fight for the Office of tax co lector. but
was defeated with the balance of the
republican ticket. HIS nomination for
mayor has united all ranks in his own
party, and brought in the support of
many independent men.

COMMUNICATED. !

Who wrote Magof1in's interview is
the question now agitating the public
nina? 1t seems however, that any one
acquainted with the style of those who
occas onaliy contribute to the Ell Paso
newspapers will recognize in the inter-
view the fine Italian hand of Mr.. c.

1t is equivocal, evasive, and caIculat-

it bears ear marks which unm stakably
Indicate the origin. If the people of
Ell Paso have any doubt as to who will
absolutely control the policy of the ad-
mini tratiOn, should Judge Magoftin be
elected, such doubt should be dispeled
when they learn the authorship and
observe the contents of this eXtraordin-
airy interview.
The people of Ell Paso cannot afford
to select any official whose election
would make it possible for any party or
parties. not in office and consequently
not responsible for official acton, to
dictate the policy of those in Office.

BEDS OF EUROPEAN SOLDIERS.
National cSipraeteristic. Reflected in

national C@aracteristics Rejected in
the DiRe int Military Regulations.
The soldiers bed differs notably in
the different European armies, the
principal varieties being given below,
and in them may perhaps be seen the
reflection of national characteristics,
says the London Mail. In England the
bed is hard; the soldier lies on a thin
mattress that rests on canvas stretched
over frame. In Spain the soldier has
only straw bed, but he is allowed
besides this a pillow, two sheets, two
blankets and covered quilt, sometimes
even a cover for his feet. 1t is almost
sybaritic. In Germany and Austria he
las a simple straw bed, with one or
two covers, neither sheet nor mattress.
In Russia until recently the soldier
slept with his clothes on, on camp bed;
but now ordinary beds begin to be
used-the result of contact with more
civilized countries. After this it can
not be doubted that the French sol
dler's bed is the best of all, with it's
wooden or iron bedstead, a straw bed,
good mattress, sheets, a brown wooden
coVerlet and an extra quilt for cold
weather. Thus the bed of the French
soldier is the softest of all soldiers
beds, as that of the French peasant is
acknowledged also to be the best Of
all European countries.
