There ought not to be such an over

ness as woman feels at this time and there
would not be if she was in perfectly strong
and healthy condition. In thousands of
cases motherhood has been Invested of all
its dangers and large proportion of its
pain by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is the most marvellous
remedy ever discovered for restoring com.
plete organic health and strength to the
delicate special structure involved in moth
erhood. Taken early during the prospective
time 1t makes the mother strong, energetic
and cheerful and carries her through the
period of trial with comparative comfort
and ease. IT increases the babv's natural.
constitutional vigor and adds to the iovs of
motherhood the supreme satisfaction of q

HALLOWEEN.
In Former Times Its Recurrence
Was Observed In All Parts of

LhriStendom

| Tomorrow is All Saints day and to-
day is Halloween, or All HallOw Even
In olden times before the search
| light of science was turned upon all the
d ark corners to illuminate them and
disillusiOnize the Inhabitants of the
earth, Halloween was regarded with
superstitious awe and it was believed
to be the day specially favored by fair
les and the Inhabitants of the invisible
world for com nun eating with mortals
in various ways.
AT the present day Halloween is cele-
brated in the United States by young
folks with socials and parties They
congregate and observe many of the
old customs which were in vogue at the
time when their great grandparents
, were children and thoroughly be-
lieved in and enjoyed the festival.
In those DAYS a maiden believed that ii
she looked in a mirror at midnight
with q candle in her hand, the face of
her future husband would appear, and
no young girl thought of letting mid
night pass without testing his UNIQUE
and quaint charm.
Many other IDEAS just as unfounded
on fact, were practiced and the young
people derived as much innocent
pleasure therefrom as infants now de-
rive from the belief in Santa Claus.
1t is probable that q mum Der Of Hal
lOween partie : will be given in Ell Paso
to commemorate the occasion.

The old white haired woman who for
the last few days has been singing on
the street to the accompaniment of
q guitar, left the city yesterday on the
east bound T. p. Before she left the
city however she told part of her story
to q reporter of the HERALD. She
said that che lost the sight of her
eyes from the effects of a case of meas
les. which she contracted while nurs-
ing q sick friend. After she lost her
sight she lived with her only daughter,
who was married, but her daughter
died and then her son in law married
again and she could not expect him to
support her any longer. She heard Of
a place where she could find a home If
she had five hundred dollars to pay up
on entrance. This amount
she said was put out at interest
aud the proceeds of it would be
enough to- insure her a home there as
loog as she might live. AS soon as
she heard of this home for old ladies
who were not able to take care Of
Themselves she started out to try and
raise the money. She bought a gui-
tar. for she knew how to play, and
commenced To sing on the streets. At
first she said she would sing two
hours every day and then go to her

A Small Fight.

This morning about nine o'clock
Officer Ross arrested E. L. Adams on a
complaint from l. SchlinRer, a tailor
who has shop on San Antonio street
Schlinger complained of Adam, say
ing that while he was busy Adams
came in and de- handed some money
which be has borrowed Of him, and
be told him that be didn't have the
money, but that didn't seem to satisfy
Adams and he drew a knife on him.
Adams on arriving at the police
station said that he had loaned Schlin-
ger $3.50 aud while in the city this
time he wanted the money and so call
ed on Schlinger for a settlement and
was told that he couldn't pay him.
Then he was cursed by Schlipger, who
picked up a pair of shears, and he
knocked him down and the policeman
arrested him. The man Adams was
released on his own recognizauce. The
case will come up at five p. N. before
the recorder.

FROM AUSTIN.
A Little Letter From An Innocent
Abroad.

AUSTIN, Oct p.
EDITOR HERALD:-Austin still con-
tipues to do business at the old stand
on the Colorado river, 80 miles north
the west end. This remin ds me that
it's good thing to be elected to the
legislature from Ell Paso. Members 10
going to and returning from the CAPT.
tai receive go many cents q mile and
one days pay for each twenty miles
travelled. This amounts to large sum
by the time Ell Paso is reached.
No we'll regulated member of the
state parliament refuses to ride on a
pass, even though loaded to the muz-
zle with speecbes he intends to deliver
against grinding railroad monOpOlies.
Sometimes wonder why railroad Of
ficIals are so free with passes to legis
lators. and then sometimes don't won

THE DAM.
II you want to see how the dam
across the Rio Grande above Ell PasO
will look when completed, come here
and look at the one across the Colo
RADIO, two miles north of the business
center of Austin, 1t is 1900 feet long
and has made the river pavigable thir-
ty miles above. 1t is 60 feet high and
furnishes power to distribute water
throughout the city and run the dyna-
mos that furnish cheap electricity for
lighting the city, running street cars,
motors, etc. 1t costs as much for one
incandescent light in Ell Paso as it does
here for half dozen.
POLITICS.
State politics is warming up here
muchly. Last night Hon. Barnett
Gibbs, the pops candidate for governor,
spoke at the court room to q big crowd
of hearers, dems, pops and reps, black.
white and saffron colored. 1 felt sorry
for the democrats when be got through.
He wiped the floor with Culberson for
contracting to pay HOgg SIC. 900 for col
| citing from the U. S. government
300, 900 that congressman say could
have been collected for ten cents. He
charged robbery of the school fund by
the creation of paper children in ia
vored localities, and claimed that he
could prove his statements by the re-
ports of public officers. He was very
much sverse to getting children in this
way. Barney is one of the best stump
speakers 1 ever heard. He carries
conviction with every word. His voice
is pleasant, there is no trouble in hear
ing and understanding what he says,
he is never at loss for ideas or Ian
guage and keeps his audience in q good
humor from start to finish. If he could
be heard by every voter in Texas be-
fore the election, he would be the next
governor, and it would be good thing
for Texas if he was.
