CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Work Planned by the Directors and
Committees Appointed by
the Year.

The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce held very interesting
meeting at their headquarters on
Monday night. One of the most i'm
portant matters to be taken up by
the Chamber at present is the restor-
alton of trains No. 9 and 10, or a
similar day train service between
Canon and Pueblo. The matter is in
the hands of committee headed by
N. F. Handy.
The question of having the road
leading to Twelve Mile Park improved
was discussed and the attention of the
commissioners will be called to the
matter. 1t was suggested that it
would be advisable to park the short
street known as Thirteenth which is
unused, and also the "city gardens"
The city council will be asked to do
this.
By resolution the board decided to
assist Pueblo to secure the State
Horticultural Fair for this year. A
committee was appointed to ask the
commissioners to appropriate at least
$3.50 to be offered in prizes to help
encourage the culture of sugar beets
in Fremont county. 1t was decided
to have smoker about April goth to
which all members would be invited.
The president announced the ap-
pointment of the committees. They
together with the officers for the
year are as follows:

The New Fire Department.

AT the meeting of tbs council tomor-
row night four architects will bid for
the new building of the fire depart
ment, which is to be erected at the
corner OF Overland and Stanton streets.
The four who will enter the contest
are Msydweil aud McClintOck, h.
Kraus, Ed Kneezeil. snd II. G. Ball.
10 speaking of the matter Of the Sc
paration OF the two buildings one OF
them said: "Well, if don't get the
building of the FIRE department and
jsil don't think that / will waste any
time with the city hall as the plans be-
fore and there plans have cost me too
much time already. and it will take
this to repay me for the time that L
have lost"
Another one of them in showing his
plans to q reporter said: You see /
am building a good thick wall between
the fire department and the jail so that
the tiremen won't necessarily have to
associate with the prisoners.
All of the architects feel little sore
over the matter Of having TO recon-
struct their plans of the city hall. and
all of them say that it would have been
TO their advantage to have had only
the one building to put up rather than
the three.

Our Minter Visitors.

Much has been said OF late in regard
to the sidewalks in our town. One o.
our leading citizens who has just re-
turned from a trip to the north said
last evening that this coming winter z
Paso will have more visitors from that
part of the country that she has ever
had before. and many of them will
come here with money to invest.
"Now | think that the city ought to
fix up these sidewSlks, said he.
was walking up Stanton street last
evening: on the west side OF the street
between Main and Franklin there is 6
hole in the sidewalk where plank has
been broken, and the hole caused by
this break is fully ten or twelve inches
deep. III some child should get his
foot in that hole while running it would
break his leg sure. | have been told
by a little boy who lives along on that
block that that hole has been there for
two weeks. Who is responsible for
this neglect"
The sidewalk on Mesa avenue be-
tweed st. Louis and Texas streets has
been fixed-thst is, the old one has
been torn up and the public are per-
mitted to walk along there in the soft
sand and dirt, but that is much better
than IL was before.

Poker Must Go.

A dispatch from Vienna to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat says the au
thorities there are about to Danish the
Americsu game of poker, which has
become the great craze and sin of the
people. 1t is declared that the game
has filled up the private life and lei,
sure moments of the family circle and
has corrupted young men, swallowed
up their scanty earnings and eve I alb
sOrbed the housewives.
The tricks, subterfuges: betrayals,
swiDdles and family crimes committed
In its name in Vienna would make q
story more fascinating than the re-
cords OF Roaring Camp. In every cafe
poker is the rage and the authorities
have determined to suppress it under
the law fOrbidding games of chance

mond Dick" the ranger who was
wounded In the fight Monday night,
near Socorro, Texas. was brought in
this morning over the T. P. and con-
veyed to the hospital. DR.. Turner met
the wounded man at the train. and
with the assistance of willing friends
of the ranger. placed the cot upon
which he was resting, in a wsgonette,
and he was carefully taken
to Hotel DIep where he will receive
the greatest care and affection. While
being removed from the csT, the ran
ger opened his eyes, aud recog niGin &
one of the number standing around
him, he reached ont bis hand and said
in very strong voice: Hello, Mack. y
DIR. Turner expressed an opinion to the
effect that the woEnded man would re-
cover. That the bullet pa uetrated the
rangers left lung Is evidenced by che
blood which he expectorates in smati
quantities.
E. St. Leon. during his service with
the rangers, has proved himself a
brave and efficient officer, and stands
very big b IN the estimation Of his SUI
periOr officers eua his fellow citizens.

MiIes's Charges Against AIger.

Following are the charges against
Secretary of War Alger and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, which it is slleeed were made
by Gen. Miles, and which were publish
ed in the Kansas City Star of recent
date:
That while Gen. Miles was conduct
ing the surrender negotiations at San
tiego, Adjt. Gen. Corbin sent secret
dispatch to Gen. Shafter assuring him
that Gen. Miles's coming made no diff
ference in his command; that he was
not superseded.
That the war department did, in
fact, recognize Gen. Miles's authority
inssmuch as the dispatches with re-
gard to the surrender all came from
Gen. Miles, and Gen. Sbafter was not
mentioned in them: that he ''supersed-
ed'' Gen. Shafter in the same manner
colonel would captain Cd coming
up with the latter's force sent on be-
| fore.
That the dispatches to and from San
tiago all show this, but they we're
| mutilated and garbled in Washir eton
when given to the public: that Gen.
Miles himself received the surrender
of Gen. Toral, and was much amused
when he surrendered his entire corps,
or about twice as many soldiers as
there were in Santiago: that he &C
cepted however, the surrender OF the
entire corps as though he had exacted
it.
That the plan followed by the war
department and for which others
claim credit, was suggested by Miles
in cablegram to Secretary Alger,
July 81: that the cablegram was sup
pressed by the secretary in Washing
ton, but that Gen. Miles has copy of
the same in his possession.
That if Secretary Alger had prompt
| ly followed out Gen. Miles's sugges-
ton and given to the public his state
ment of the condition of the army
much sickness and trouble would have
| been nverted.
That whereas, Col. Greenleaf, sur
eeon -in-chief, believes the yellow fever
| in our army comes from occupying
| houses, shacks and blockhouses that
had been occupied by yellow fever pa
tients, yet Gen. Miles had positively
prohibited this before the troops were
| landed.
That the wisdom of Gen. Miles's OPP
position to the bay OF Nipe. on the
northern coast Of Cuba, as a place of
rendezvous for his soldiers and ships
parent.
That the war department finally
planned for Gen. Miles to land at
| Fajardo, on the northeast corner of
the island, but that there is 40 harbor
| therei furthermore, that the steam
| lighters and tugs which were to have
met Gen. Miles on the north side of
Porto Rico have not even turned up to
this day.
That had the army landed at Fsjar-
do, the Spanish could have moved q
| large force from San Juan and the AM
erican forces would have been il the
same straits as the army at Santiago;
that the landing was, therefore, made
at Guanica and the town of Ponce was
| had s'for the asking"

Smallpox Scare GroundIess.

The two other daily papers OF Ell
Pas0 seem to delight in talking about
small pox and other contagious diseas-
es. They have caused such useless
worry to many people that the report
err called on the city physician this
morning and asked him for a statement
In regard to the matter. In reply DR..
Race said: Il have three patients
down at the pest house and there is no
danger of any one catching it from
them. There have been no new cases
developed, and we are watching every
thing mighty close to see that no more
do develop without our knowing it. II
any should do so, they will he sent to
some place Of detention until every
thing iS Certain"
These patients are not as sick as the
ones that were here before, and they
came here from over the river this
time, and not from New Mexico. 1t
seems that there is no danger at all,
and there was no ground for the
epidemic scare.
IL talking of the scare headlines of
the articles which appeared in the
other papers one we'll known physician
said: Il see that they take every pos
sible chance TO call the HERALD q
yellow journal but / see that the
HERALD always tries to print both
oloCo VI every uuCSO.Ou W ulCu COuleS ~
and that is more than they do. Two
or three times here latelf the papers OF
El Paso, with the exception of the HER
AID, have half frightened the moth
ers of children to death oy printing
such articles as this smallpox, scarlet
fever: aud diphtheris stuH.H
The reporter called on the state
health officer. DR.. Yandell, and the
doctor said: 81 am the state quaran-
tine officer, and I look out for other
parts of the state as much as | do for
FL Paso. # any such state of affairs as
the Tribune-Telegraph suggests as ex-
listing here, eyer does exist, there will
not be train run out OF Ell Paso into
Texas until it is remedied. .
Every body not protected by vaccination
ought to be protected, not now more
than at all times, and then they can
laugh at smallpox. The suggestion
that the park concepts and Mexican
e9lehra.iOA, oyer two weeks Oft, should
be given up, is out of all reason. There
is not the slightest cause for alarm
or extra precautiOp

Will Have A Tearing Tomorrow
Afternoon.

The soldier Barry arrested after an
exciting chase by Officers Cole and
Rogers Monday night for robbing Don
Little in the Linde IL Hotel, will be
tried in Justice McKie's court to.
morrow afternoon, Monabsn, an
other soldier, who assisted Barry in
robbing Little. and then made good
his escape, was rounded up yesterday,
locked in the guard house and placed
in the county Jail this afternoon by
Deputy Constable White.
After evading the officers here Mo-
nshan went to the post and hid out in
the shinnery until the noon hour ar
rived when he sneaked in to the bar
racks to get something to eat. The
officers were notified of his return and
ordered him arrested Immediately.
The news reached Monahap that he
had been reported and he again mad a
run for liberty. A detachment of
troops was ordered to pursue him and
he was captured yesterday even NO and
placed in the guard house.
Little, the man who was robbed now
claims that he told Barry and Mona
han that they might have the money
and that they simply went and got it,
The police, however, think they have
sufficient evidence TO convict these
men of burglary without Little's evil
dence. 81"
