A few people keep dropping in upon
US from the effete east, with it's bloom
ing billiards. and raging snow storms,
bur this town has no such reputation
as health resort, though il deserves
it as much. like Las Vegas, Albuquer-
que, Santa Fe, or lower down Las Cru
ces. Silver Guy or Ell Paso. Never
theless there is no desirable house in

Some young ladies from New York,
who spent couple of hours IN the city
last night on their way to California,
have q variety of things TO learn yet.
They possess open minds and Observ-
ing eyes, and during q walk up Rail-
road avenue they made several valu-
able discoveries. But when street
car approached they were at q loss to
| find name for it. The final decision
arrived at was that the vehicle was a
| night lunch wagon. Officer Nc
| Laughiin undeceived them, but the
young ladies from the greatest city on
| the continent stoutly declared that
they had never in their lives beheld
street cars drawn by horses.-Albu-
querque Democrat.
Acting upon the advice of the city
physician. DR.. Crupp. the school board
has closed the schools until the first
| week in January. While there is no
| immediate danger of contsgion from
smallpox, it is thought best to close the
schools for time ana thus remove all
| danger, so far as the children are con-
cerned. While at the present time
| there is no smallpox in the city, there
are cases in the surrounding country,
| and the better part of wisdom dictates
that no chances should be taken by
opening the schools until the country
districts are well rid of the disease.
The school board has acted wisely in
the matter ever since the city has been
threatened with the disease, and the
determination to keep the schools clos
ed until after the holidays, at least,
will meet with the approval of every
one in the city.-Santa Fe New Mex
lean.
There are two cases of smallpox in
town, one of which will be discharged
coon. The other day a man came from
Trinidad suffering from the loath-
some disease and after walking round
the town for several days asked where
the pest house was and went over and
registered without asking leave. The
colored man who has been suffering
from the disease and has been quaran-
tined, took it into his head to take q
walk on Sunday last, and telling the
Mexican guard that e had the permits
sion of the marshal to leave, went west
down the railroad track, and was soon
lost in the storm. which was raging at
the time. Deputy Willmunder was ap.
prised of the matter and securing ar
Indians pony started after him and
grounded him up three miles from town
bringing him back at the point of 9
revolver. The guard has been given
a gun and instructed to use it in case
his patients insist upon taking q walk
in future without consent of the author.
