Base Ball at Fort Bliss.

The HERALD reporter was talking
to some of the Fort Bliss volunteer
troopers in regard to base ball and the
possibility of getting up some games
between the town boys and the vOlun-
teers. One OF them said: I'VE have
four pretty good teams among the
boys of the company and we will pick a
team from the four and see if we can.
beat the local team.
I'VE have some mighty good anna
tuer players among the boys and no
doubt will be able to give the town
boys an interesting time of it when
the game comes off. | don't know
when we will play the first game, as
nothing has been decided on as yet,
but it will be as soon as we
get Strengthened out at the post and
have little practice. Then we will
be in the field for all corners, aud you
can count on our boys putting up q
good stiff game. We have bought our
psraphernalia in the way of balls. bate
mask, and other necessary articles
pertaining to the sport, spending near
ly hundred dollars for this stuff, and
will have chance to use it soon no
doubt"
This will be interesting news to the
base ball enthusiasts of Ell Paso. for
there is no other game that is so well
loved, and If there is any chance to
have good games between these two
teams there is not a bit of doubt that
the sport loving element will heartily
come to the support of the local team.

DR.. william Pepper Dead.

DIR. William Pepper died suddenly
last Thursday, of heart failure, at the
home of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst at
Pleassnton, Calf. Three weeks ago he
went there as Mrs. Hearst's guest. to
try to recover his broken health. His
death was Eauite unexpected: :.
Philadelphia lila isppef August ~s' 81 porn Is4s
and was in his 55th year.
The life of DR.. Pepper wss.interwoven
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, with
the recent history of many of the in
situations of which Philadelphia can
boast. He was the creator of the mod
ern University of Pennsylvania. He
was the creator of the free library. He
was president of the Philadelphia COM
mercial museums and president of the
powerful movement which, for the
sake of water filtration, commercial
museums, free library and other i'm
provements, secured the passage of an
So, 600, 900 loan. and when
that was defeated by the su-
preme court he led in the organization
that submitted the S11 200, 900 loan to
popular vote and helped materially to
secure its passage by councils. To his
particularly his friends attribute his
death. His work for these things,
however, was only of the kind of labor
that characterized his whole life and
which has written his name large as
manager, director, adviser or benefac-
tor of so many institutions.
The greatest work in progress,
which must be, when finished, another
monument to his special genius as an
organizer, is the museum of science
and arts of the university. 1t covers
twelve acres of ground. 1t is designed
to place the commercial museums be-
side it. Over half q million dollars
has been subscribed by public-spirited
men who were touched by DIR. Peppers
nthusiasm in the cause of the muse
um of science and arts. Under his di-
rection, in the meantime. collections
for the institution have been made by
explorations of scientists in various
parts of the world.
The handsomest particular benefac-
ton of DR.. Pepper, unsided, is the Pep
per Pathological laboratory at the uni
versity, on which he placed his fathers
name. What might be called the mo-
ment in DR.. Peppers career when he
shOne the brightest as masterful or
ganizer of men was when he presided
at the wonderful bourse banquet last
year, Introducing the president of the
United States to the assembled repre-
sentatives of South American countries

A Hurry Up Wagon.

Last afternoon about five o'clock the
attention of the citizens along Ell 1PasC
street was attracted by Officer Ross
trying to make an arrest of q man who
was drunk and down.
These cases of drunk and down are
not so numerous, but whenever there
is one of them the officer who has to
make the arrest has q hard time and 1t
il nearly impossible to;dra9 the drunken
fellow along. When the city provides
forthe fire department room should be
left for a hurry up wagon, and any one
OF the drivers in the stable can drive
it to the assistance of the policeman
needing 1t.
There are many times when such a
wagon would be handy. At nearly
every council meeting there Is q bill
from some express wagon driver for
hauling some drunk to the station,
costing from fifty cents to q dollar, and
then these wagons are not such as the
city should have for they are open ,
and if the officer should have any trou-
BILE he would not have a. ghost of a
show to hold his prisoner in any open
carry-all.

Will Make Trouble for the Police

The HERALD yesterday chronicled
an account OF the killing of two bull
dogs belonging to a man named Mauri-
clio Tslamantes, living in the southeast
part of town. The dogs were said to
be vicious and the night before last bit
q man named McDaniels, in couse-
quence OF which Acting Chief Bendy
and Geo. Harold went to the home OF
Mr.. Talamantes Tuesday morning and
killed both of the dogs.
Now comes Mr.. Talamantes and says
that the dogs were perfectly harmless
and that McDapiels was trespassing on
his property at the time he was attack
ed by the dog, and that only one OF the
dogs took after him as the other one
was chained then and is never
loose.
my house,, he says, lis many
yards away from the road and one OF
the dogs generally stays on the front
step. This dog 1 admit bit McDaniels,
but not to amount to anything. The
other dog is always tied in my chicken
coop and has never been loose five
minutes since have owned him. The
officers, however, walked right in there
and shot him down. l had my taxes

This morning the reporter of the

Mr.. Baum showed him all the new
patent machinery which he had put in
and it was working as smooth as il
could be. Mr.. Baum said: 'Well, we
are in good shape to do the work now
we are getting good deal of patron
age, mostly from the China
men who have been doing
the 'washee washee' for SO
long q time. There is plenty of room
here for two laundries and all we ask
is to divide the business and give
American laborers q chance to earn q
living. You see that is what we have
here, all American citizens, and that is
all we intend to have work for us, too. -

Complaints From the Soldiers,

So much has been said about the
alleged maltreatment of volunteers in
camp, that the following from the Kan
sas City Journal is of interest:
A number of the Kansas papers have
become well nigh hysterical over the
alleged mistrestment placed upon the
Kansas regiment at San Francisco
They charge that with almost criminal
carelessness the commanding officer
has located the Kansas camp in an un-
healthy spot, and that in consequence
the men are dying off at an unusual
rate. Here is letter from a.member
of the Topeka company, that will
throw some light on the true situation
1.-THE badness of our camp location
has been greatly exaggerated. We
have had considerable sickness. it is
true, but doubt if the camp location
has anything to do with it. This
sandy place was selected because it was
supposed to have good drainage
and because we would be able
to keep dry. Even the surgeons
differ as to the cause of our
| i'll health, which by the way,
| has also been exaggerated. Some of
| them say it is on account of the camp
ground. Our own DR.. Rafter says it is
not SO much on account of the ground
as upon the closely crowded condition
of the men. He thinks if the men and
| tents were scattered out more the
camp would be as healthy as it could be
anywhere. AS matter of fact our
sickness is due to the great change OF
climate and nothing else. The weather
has been cold and raw, and the damp
| breezes from the ocean give
us colds. DR.. Jenkins, one
of the leading doctors in the
city, said to our colonel the other day
| Il am really surprised that you have
not had more sickness. | an sure that
if 1900 Ksnsans were quartered at the
Palace hotel there would be as much
sickness among them at you have had
| before they became acclimated.' II
we and the people of Kansas are going
to kick on the kind of camp we have
here in this beautiful city. what kind
of howl may be expected to go up
| when we are camped in the bOgs ano
ovens of the Philippines? For my
own part, didn't expect war to be a
picnic, and 1 am getting along better
than 1 hoped. Up to this time
there have been eight deaths
among the Kansas troops. Iheard one
of our doctors say the other day that
more deaths might have been expected
if the entire 1900 troops had remain.
ed in Kansas and worked in the har.
vest fields. and guess he is right"
The above no doubt will apply equal
ly as well to a large proportion of the
cases Of''msltrestment," in which com.
plant has come most often from those
at home, or from camp visitors, no,
| from the boys Themselves.

Nothing New In the Courtney Case

The police have as yet heard Moth

there was nothing new in that line of

The captains attorney will no doubt
ask to have the charges against his
client. which are now standing, quash-
ed, but it is understood by all parties
that the prosecution will file charges
in the county court against the cap
tain, SO the chances are good for him
