Warmth Of Drained Soil.-It used al
ways to be thought that sandy soil was
best for gardens, because it warmed Ut
so early in the spring. But this is main
ly due to the fact that the sandy land
is naturally underdrained, as water cas-
lily and quickly sinks through it. But
this very fact insures that the sandy
soil shall never be very retentive of
vegetable matter. So soon as it is ma
nured, either vita stable manure or
green vegetable matter, the air with
which sandy soil is filed from early
spring until fall burns out all the car
bon and leaves pure sand A naturally
retentiVe soil, which means some clay
in It's composition, retains vegetable
mt SKI much better and makes a really
better garden ground than does the
sand. But If it is wet in spring. it must
be underdrained. Then such soil freezes
deeply, which expands it, causing it to
hold more air and warm up more
quickly. Such drained soils will stand
drought much better than sandy soils,
and drought in late summer is the
gardeners most dreaded evil. AS I'M
derdraining becomes more general, the
heavy drained soil will increase in IA
Vor for gardens.-Am. Cultivator.

has been honored by beautiful monu-

erected by his friend, Max A. Philip.
1t represents the final triumph Of the
humane, enlightening idea Of peace
over the rough and bestial impulses Of

was so commonly applied to the cruel
purposes Of war and anarchy.

Smallpox.

Last night case of smallpox was
reported at the Nelson lodging house
on south Ell Paso street. The cas- e
was pronounced varioloid.
The man gave his name as Fatewell
and said he had only been in town a
short while. He will be taken to the
pest house tonight.
A case reported to the health officer
this morning by DR.. Turner was in the
family of T. II. Smith, passenger
brakeman of the G. Fl. The sick person
is EdWard. Mr.. Smith s oldest son, who
was recently in the employ of the
Troy LAUNDRY; The boy will stay at

antined.
A colored prisoner at the county Jail
was pronounced to be i'll with small pox
this afternoon and will be removed to

This Is MrOna.

Yesterday morning case of suspect
ed smallpox was reported to DR.. Race.
He sent word that he would see to it
after Office hours. He failed to come.
He was again notified in the afternoon
and said he would be right down,
but again failed to show up. He was
sought again but was not
found. After dark he called at the
house and pronounced the case to be
varioloid as the man had been vac
cinated ten years before
It was then after night, and the man
could nOt9be moved to the pesthouse. .As
the patients are moved only at night
he will not be taken to the pesthouse
untils tonight, thirty six hours af-
ter the case was reported to the health
officer.
1t Ia to be presumed that the health
officer has more on his hands than he
can attend to. If SO, he should at
once be provided with all necessary
assistance so that such q thing as the
above could not happen again.
1t is wrong to expose the patients to
the cold night air while they are being
taken to the pest house. 1t jeopardizes
their lives in many cases.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
In The postoffice Bui1dinu.

Last night at Z o'clock one of the
pOstOffice clerks discovered two bullet
holes in one of the windows. He knew
that they were not there when the
force left the Office.
The matter was at once reported to
Postmaster Campbell, who had one of
the two pOrters, Scott and Matthews,
arrested; the other could not be found.
When Scott was found he was at his
home eating supper and the night cap
tain placed him under arrest, together
with the woman whom he was board
ing.
The porter said he knew nothing
whatever about the matter; he said
there no holes in that window when
the Office was closed at five minutes
past six.
The bullets which entered the win
dow made no marks on any of the
woodwork in the Office and yet the bull
lets were evidently fired from the out
side. They must have been fired from
some place between the east side of the
building and the big sign board which
has been recently put up on the Mesa
avenue side of the block.
The strange part of the matter is
that no one in the vicinity heard any
shots fired. Marshal Hillebrand is
under the impression that the holes
were made by q boy with ''nigger
shooter" and buckshot, but others
who have looked at the holes don't
think that an instrument of that kind
would make hole in heavy plate glass
without shattering the whole pane.

THE ACTS OF VIOLENCE
Whether Deserved|y Or Not,
Will Prejudice Many
Against the Strik-
ing Employees.

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 3.-At 6
O'Clock last night one of the cars of the
Dallas Consolidated Electric system
was blown up by dynamite at Elm and
Austin streets.
Half an hour later another car was
blown up at Munger's factory, two
miles further east. A stick of dyna-
mite foot long was found on the sc cene
OF the second explosion.
No passengers were in the cars. The
motormen were injured. The cars were
badly wrecked.
These are the first serious acts of
violence since the strike of the motor
men on the consolidated system began
November 10.
The strikers and their friends declare
that the strikers had nothing to do
with the dynamite. The street car
company attributed it to the strikers.

MURDERANDROBBERY

Four men took part in the murder
and robbery. The man surprised them
while at work on the safe but the rob-
bers forced him against the wall,
deliberately shooting him. Miss Mo-

heard the noise and came down stairs.
The murderers bound and gagged her,
carried the dying man to the bed, and
then completed their job on the safe.

FILIPINO DISARMAMENT
Will Necessarily Follow the
Assumption Of Authority
BY the United
States,

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 Yesterday e
cabinet meeting was short and mainly
devoted to the discussion of the coming
occupation of Cuba by our troops. The
question of policing the island with
Cuban soldiers, the best landing place
for troops, and other details of official
exchange of control was canvassed.
After the meeting one of the memb bers
said that the president and his advis-
ers spprehended no friction with Spain
over the Carolines. President McKin-
ley believes the commission will agree
un all vital points of the treaty.
The most important development of
the cabinet meeting was the sending
of dispatch by The war department
to Gen. Otis in command of the United
States military forces in the Philip
pines, directing him to demand of
Aguinaldo the surrender of all Spanish
prisoners held by the insurgents.
An arrangement is being perfected
by the joint peace commission in Paris
by which all Spanish prisoners in the
custody of the United States and the
shall be released in exchange for the
liberation of all political prisoners ar
rested for completely in the Cuban and
Philippine Instructions.
The only draw back to the ability of
this government to carry out the COM
pact is the fact that Aguinsldo might
refuse to comply with the wishes of the
United States. To prove the good
faith of the administration to the Span
ish government the president and his
cabinet decided that it was necessary
to act at once so that all prisoners OF
the Philippines should be free when
the treaty is signed.
The word demand" may be little
too strong a term to use in connection
with the instructions to Otis, but it ex-
presses the determination of the gov
ernment on the subject. 1t is not i'm
probable, of course, that Aguinaldo
will show disposition to decline to
accede to the proposition of Gen. Otis,
but the administration does not an
ticipate any trouble with the Filipino
leader that will lead to open rupture.
The disarmament of the Filipinos
army will probably be one of the first
steps that will follow the formal as
sumption of authority over the Philip
pine group the United States.
This government cannot per-
NIT any military forces not
recognized by it to exist in its possess
siOns. This matter may prove serious
but no other course is possible after
the islands have passed completely un-
der the authority of the United States

AWFUL TALE OF NEGLECT
In Connection With the Death OF
Young Jewell.

Col. S. r. Crawford, of Graham
county, Texas, who nursed Tally
Jewell at the pest house during the last
three days of his illness with smallpox,
left this afternoon for his home. He
attributes the untimely death of young
Jewell to neglect at the pest house and
to the fact that he was twice hauled
from place to place while the disease
was at critical stage. He asserts that
the life of the young man WAS twice
jeOpardized by the reckless treatment
accorded him when the removal took
place.
Col. Crawford is a man of culture
and refinement and prominent in East
Texas business circles. He is now in
business at Graham, but was formerly
q cattle man. The colonel is not rela-
ted to the Jewell family, but was a
close friend of the young mans father
and having had the small pox at
services to the widow and came here to
attend the last hours of her dying son.
A bank in this city was first wired to
spare no expense in providing for the
sick boy.
There was nothing, however, to be
done then. It was too late. The dis
ease had attained q hold that could
not be shaken off. Nothing could be
done to counteract the effects of the

Col. Crawford was seen by HERALD
reporter at the Caldwell undertaking
parlors this morning. He had called
to settle the undertaker's bill. He was
bitter in This denunciation of the treat
lnent accorded pest house patients. He
says they are huddled together in one
room, adjoining the kitchen, and that
the attention accorded the patients by
the nurses is totally inadequate. de
says the patients are left entirely to
themselves for hours at q time and
that their deliriOus rawlings are ter
'ible to hear.
He declares that the chief reason for
,he existing state of affairs is the lack
IT head at the pest house.
The city physician calls once
,r twice day looks at the patient, and
caves. The nurses are then permit
ed to do as they please and. in Col.
Crawford's opinion, the patients are
uferers as q consequence. He thinks
! few dollars should be applied by the
,eOple of Ell Paso towards the
Welfare of the pest house patients.

ord, sis of the most vital Importance
