The following story with n moral is
told by that eccentric paper The D sta
Lighthouse: South of Greenville,
Miss. on Mr. Wortherton's plantation,
last week, there were two men on a
wagon, one a sinner and the other q
preacher. 1t was laundering and light
ening. The sinner man was cursing God
and everything, and the preacher told
him to stop, but ne would not, end
presently the lightning struck the sim
ner man, sitting beside the preacher,
and killed him instantly, ana the
preacher was not touched. So, sinner
man, look shy!"

THE ROGERS TRAIL.
Commenced This Morning In the
District Court

The trial of Joe Rogers, harged with
tke murder of John Woods, was COM
menced in the district court at o.
clock this morning.
A special venire of $50 men had been
summoned and the session until eleven
o'clock was consumed in examining
these.
Only three persons competent to
serve were found among the entire
number examined. A large portion
had formed opinions IS to the guilt or
Innocence of the accused and were ex-
cused. Several failed to answer when
called and a fine of $25 was 'ordered by
the court assessed against each OF
these.
The sheriff was instructed to sum-
mon another venire and it is possible
that the examination of whine sses will
begin tomorrow.
The case attracts considerable local
interest on account of the notoriety at
tanned by the deceased during his life
time spent in this city and vicinity, and
the prominence of Rogers.
The prosecution is being conducted
by District Attorney Dean assisted by
Attorney Jay Good, while Judge Harp

A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
A RanChman at Anthony Received
DANGEROUS Mound

Yesterday afternoon about 2:3O
o'clock Leon AlvareZ,a we'll known
ranchman near Anthony, was shot in the
abdomen by an unknown person. The
wound received is not thought to be
necessarily fatal, but is q very painful
one.
AS soon as the shooting was done the
assistance of q doctor was wired for to
Ell Paso, and last night q physician
went out on q Santa Fe freight to the
place of the shooting.
The particulars of the shooting are
very strange as we'll as meager. From
what could be learned from the physi-
clan when he returned on the Santa Fee
passenger this morning it seems that
Alverez and two or three of his men
were out working on one of the irriga-
ton bitches which runs through his
place and q shot was heard, not far
away from the men, but thinking It
it was fred from. A couple of seconds
passed, then Alverez fell over on his
face and said, II am shot," The men
picked him up and carried him to his
house and he was suffering q great
deal when the doctor arrived there
last night.
The men made q thorough search to
see If they could find the parties who
did the shooting but could not. It is
not thought that 1t was done through
malice at all and the blame Ia laid on
no one.
The doctor made him as easy as pos
sible as soon as he arrived, and when
he left this morning Alverez was rest
ing as easy as could be expected under
the circumstances.

Quiet In Police Circles.

The town Is quieter now In a
criminal way than it has been for a
long time before. Some of the police
attribute this to the closing of the
dance halls and others to the bad
weather, but whichever it is arrests
are few.
tt chiefs beginning to worry lest
his fines will decrease so that the city
may have to contribute to help pay
monthly salaries of the force.
The "fires" of Ell Paso are far in ex-
cess of nearly every town in the state.
The average amount of '6nes" brought
in every month is $1250; this pays all
the police expenses and helps to carry
the city government. Most sOf the
amount5is made up of money collected
from gam blers and prostitutes-licen-
ses rather than "f1nes."

1t seems an easy matter to compute
''the floating population of the land,

Belongs To An FL paso Family

E. A. Rudisill, of Las Cruces, is the
possessor of one of the most intelligent
dogs in the country. The animal is
one of litter of the noted bitch
Lady This family of dogs are an
unusually bright lot of animals. One
of them was q great favorite of the
fire department at Ell Paso, where he
created a great deal of attention by
voluntarily going into burning houses
and bringing things out and
climbing the sixty-foot fire lad
der. The dog in question ia
q brother to that one, and one
day noticing that a little dog, about
the size of roll of butter, would not
come into the house when Mrs. Rudl-
sill called it. this larger dog trotted
out into the street and took the little
fellow by the back of the neck and
brought it into the house, putting it
down as much as to say: "There, now
you mind next time" The strangest
part of all is that these dogs have
not been trained to do these wonderful
feats. The little dog is of the Chihua-
hua breed, and the larger one q setter
and spauiel.-Las Vegas Optic.

The SMALLPOX Situation.

Today Doctor Turner reported to the
authorities case of varioloid from 400
South Campbell street. The
patient Is Mrs. S. @. Counts,
who claims that fifteen years
ago she had smallpox and has several
pits to show for it. She states that the
same time she had smallpox; her sisters,
Mrs. Wilson Counts and Mrs. Linda
Dilworth, and their mother
we're down with the disease. DR.. Yam
dell and DR.. Turner join in the opinion
that this is q remarkable case but both
say that it will be very light and that
the patient can be discharged in a
week.
This is the first case in over week
among Americans and shows that good
work is being done In stamping out
the disease.
The only other news concerning the
situation is that DR.. Yandell in re-
moving case to the pesthouse from
Stanton street near Ninth found a
second case in the house and removed
them both.

The announcement that Secret Ser
vice." is to kbe on view at Myar;s
opera house next Saturday night, has
awakened q deeper and more wide
spread interest among local theatre pa
irons than has preceded any play in
this city before or since the advent of
the lamented ''Trilby" O'Farrell. This
fact is accounted for, perhaps, not so
much by the numerous reports of its
prodigious success in New York,
San Francisco and London, as by as
surances from numerous American and
English critics, that it is not only the
best play from the hand that penned
Held by the Enemy" and TOO Much
Johnson" but also the best play yet
written by any American. A remark
able feature is the absence of partisan
ship between the characters represent
ing the south and the north. The sale

OF the "int Traffic Association. and it is
announced that they intend to petition

Some logical and torceful arguments in
favor of large railroad systems, OF which
the Boston & Maine is itself an excellent
example.
In the course of his statement. Mr..
Tuttlc says: Competition between

which may prove disastrous to those for
whose benefit it was ostensibly devised.
The competition here is no longer that OF

TEN OF railroads can give to every Gus
toner upon its line equal Territorial facili-
ties for marketing its goods, and through
its connections with similarly powerful
systems makes its customers competitors
everywhere under the most advantage
Gus conditions. The effort of the railway
manager today is directed to the cheap
enIng ct rates so that his customers can
get their goods into the markets of the
world SO as to compete with those stu
ated upon other systems, rather than TO
! get more money out of the shippers or
receivers upon his line. Thus the compe-
tition becomes territorial rather than To-

The railroad business is not in salts

of the Interstate Commission and the

much was expected. The solution Of the
problem is one that taxes the ingenut,
of practical railroad men and they arc
very much at loss what to do. Is ii
reasonable to suppose that Others who

as is proposed by the Baltimore plan
When each section OF the country has it:
