That Attempted Vote.

This mornings Times in it's account
OF the election yesterday, Says:
"a man giving his name as Alex
Smith was, at the instance of Mr..
Bovee, arrested by Chief LUckbart for
attempting to vote llleg ally. The man
was lmpersonatlng an Alex Smith who
did register and left town, and no
doubt left mis- registration papers with
the man who tried to vote and WAS ar
rested. Thai, at least, is what was
reported last night, hut an investig a
iiOn might prove the accused 70 be all
right"
The facts are as follows: Chief
LockharJ went with Alex Smith TO
Registrar Howe and vouched Tor lin
as being legal voter. He kept
Smiths certificate in his possession.
In looking up tne doubtful voters, tn,
republicans found that Alex Smi b
was not les ai voter. Chief LOckharl
WAS asked why he vouched for this
man being u legal voter aud he replied
that he had personally known the mat
for over six months in FL Paso, and
that the man GAINED To him that ht
WAS reslden OF the state Tor more
than six months before coming to the
city of FL Paso. Smith denied that he
ever made such a statement TO Chisl
Lockhart. But If he had done so why
should Chief Lockhart take anothei
man to the polls to vote him ON Alex
Smiths certificate, if as he said, he
knew MIR. Smith for over six month
in Ell Paso? The facts are that Chief
Lockhart registered not only Ale>
Smith, but +. 5. R.gsdale ana mum
Der of other men who were not voter 5,
ana held their certificates. There was.
no doubt, bad work done upon bot
sides in yesterdays election, but tn,
West, fou.est work was such as tn,
above case and the police force ere
responsible for it. Chef Lock nal
can not retain the gooo name that b.
has held with the people heretofor,
after his conduct during this cam
paign.

The Election.

The election yesterday was the most
hotly contested that Ell PasO has seen
in several years. The republicans
we're out in very good force but
hey had not given necessary attention
% registration to make proper show
log with the ticket. The methods of
the police force were the worst that
have ever been used in any campaign
in this city and will go down in the
history of Ell Paso as worse than any,
thing that was ever attempted in Ell
PasO politics before However, the
republicans were out-vOted and out
worked regardless of the di graceful
acts of the paid officials of the
city.
The democrats strengthened their
ticket greatly wh,n they nominated
r in politics himself, and he has
friends who get out and hustle for
Tim when he is a candidate from the
lime the campaign opens until the
closes While some of the indepen-
lent democrats voted with the re-
oublicaus, they did not get, out and
work as it was supposed they would.
The sweeping victory of the demo-
Gratis in yesterdays election will likely
'iscourage the republicans from put
ting the fed a ticket this fal leaving
he race open to the democrats. In
this case a nomination by the demo-
Gratis will be equal to an election, but
it had better be SO than for the repub-
icaus to put up ticket and put in
weeks of hard work only to have it
slaughtered in the end.
The democrats jollified last night
without stint. Policeman Taylor, not
ttisficd with his work during the day,
proceeded to perforate he air by dis
charging his six-sbooter at the moon.
rhe report of the gun starLled the peo-
feeling had been high between the
frie nos of the several candidates, it
was feared that some of the Jealous
ones had concluded to lead up some of
their opponents. When it WAS learned
that it was only police officer doing
his duty to his party, the mind of the
public was once more at ease.

He who earns thousand, mere

Thinks two thousand dollars

Would be ju-t the figures to make his

But his income when it doubles,
Only multiplies his troubles,
For his outgO then incr easing makes
his both ends worse to meet.

Speeding money ere he makes it,
And then wondering what takes

Till he, giving up the ddle. looks for
rest within the tomb.
"OH, this world is very funny
To the average man, whose

Doesn't quite pay for the dancing that
he does before he should.
And he kills himself by trying

Than is suited for his pocket and his

Poor Rich Girls.

1t has been truly said that the poor
est girls in the world are those not
taught to work. There are thousands
of them. Rich parents have petted
them, and they have been taught to
despise labor and to depend upon 9TH
ers for living, and are perfectly help
less. The most forlorn women belong
to this class.
Every daughter should learn to earn
her own living, the rich as we'll as the
poor. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly around; the rich are likely TO
become poor, and the poor rich. Skill
added to labor is no disadvantage to
the rich. and ia indispensable to the
poor. Well o-do girls should learn to
work. No reform is more imperative
than this

How Worry Kills.

Modern science has brought to light
nothing mere curIously inter es ing
than the fact that worry will xii (.
More remarka BILE still, it has been able
to determine, from recent discoverie-,
just how worry does kill. 1t is be-
followed most carefully the growth of
the science of brain diseases that
scores of the deaths set down to other
causes are due to worry, and that alore e..
The theory is II simple enc, says u
medical journal, SO simple that any OF e
can readily unders' and it.
Briefly put, 1t amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells Of
the brain; and the brain being the
nu'rictive center of the body, the
other organs become gradually in jured,
and when some disease of these organs,
or q combination of them, arises, death
fiually ensues. Thus does worry kill
Insidiously, like many other diseases
it creeps upon the brain in the form
of a single, constant, never-lost idea
and, as the dropping of water during q
period OF years Will wear a groove in q
stone, so does worry gradually, imper-
| cHptibly, but no less surely, destroy the
| brain cells that IL ad all the rest-that
are, SO to speak, the commanding of.
ficers of mental power, health, and
motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger. is an irritaut at certain
points. which produces little harm if il
comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worrying of the system the
brain can cope with, but the iteration
and reiteration of one idea of disquiet.
ing sort the cells of the brain are moi
proof against. 1t is as if the skull were
laid bare and the surface of the brair
struck lightly with hammer every
few seconds, with mechanical precision
with never sign Of let up or tn.
failure of a stroke. Just lin this way
does the annoying idea, the mad denine
thought that will not be done away
with, strike or fail upon certain nerve
diminishing the vitality of these de
licate or2anisms, so minute that
they can only be seen under the mi.
croscOpe.
