Tomorrow Governor Atkinson will af-
fix his signature to the two House bills
which have passed the Legislature.
One creates the Independent school dis
trict OF Ceredo. The other provides
for the infection of the death penalty
within the walls of the penitentiary.
These two measures represent all that
has been accomplished in the way OF
legislation, and there remain but ten
working days of the session. Both
branches have been working industri-
ously since the election of a United
Estates Senator, the House in partlcu-
liar. The Senate calendar contains near
ly a score of House bills on their first
or second reading, while the number of
Senate bills which have reached the
House is comparatively small. There
is invariably a coterie of members who
favor an extension of the session. and
there is quiet talk along that line al
do all that is possible to facilitate the
transaction of business, and to that end
will cut off long-winded speeches. The
really important bills will be taken up
out of regular order, and rushed
through. One of these is the bill which
provides for an increased tax on cor
porations for a State University fund.
1t has not yet met any opposition. AS
a matter of course some needed legis-
lation will be neglected in the confu-
sion of the last few days of the ses-
sion. The danger lies in the fact that
sufficient time is not given for care
full examination of the provisions Of
bills which have been offered.

Out For Business.

It is amusing to note that q number
of people in Otero county, says that
bright weekly, the Alamogordo News,
desire to shape the policy of this.paper
| in regard to the Lee and Gilliland
cases. Friends of Lee and Gilliland
are afraid that the paper leans the
other way, and those who are opposed
to them think it has penchant for
fsvoring' them.
The fact of the matter is, that the
News Is not interested in the matter
one way or the other, and has no feel
ing either for or against Messrs. Lee
and Gillilsnd. But there Ia some horse
sense connected with the management
of the paper, and il does not propose to
take sides on questions that occurred
before the paper or Its manager came
into the region.
There is one thing about it though
that should be considered by all: The
gentlemen are not guilty in the eyes of
the world until they are convicted an d
it would be utter foolishness for the
paper to take sides with their enemies
and assert that they are guilty
whether they are or not.
The paper does not know whether
they are guilty or not. They certain
~ have not been proven guilty so
far.
If they are, guilty. the News will
publish the bare statement of the re-
suit of the trial-nothing more. And
If they are not guilty, the paper will
inform its subscribers that they were
found innocent. No feeling exists
with the paper one way or the other.
The News is here for business and is
not rubbing up any quarrels or express
ing any opinions in i'll feelings that
were endangered here during the old
palmy days of the cattle business.
The past is dead so far as sthe News
Is concerned. A new element has come
into Otero county and new era has
been inaugurated. Life IL short and
full of bargains" and the paper is too
busy looking after bargains to care
anything about how people feel over
their old scores. The news will be
given, fair and impsrtially, in all mat
tiers, and nothing more.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Life.

I am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. 1 saw by an advertisements
in our paper that Cham berlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life. 1 am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known it at first
it would have saved me great deal of
anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering.-Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F.

Ell Paso and its surrounding country
has gained world wide fame and what
would be more natural than that peo-
pie not enjoying good health would
come here where they can secure
health, wealth and enjoyment.
It is really remarkable the near
s:ghtedness of some people and the OBJ
stinacy with which they persist in see
ing things that are not real.
Its the old story of the 'stenderfoot"
going home and telling his folks of bis
wonderful exploits and trying to make
himselfa hero in the,eyes of his gullible

AN EASTERN TENDERFOOT.
Writes Sldnderous Article About
Ell pdSO.

The Pittsburg Dispatch of August IL
prints very remarkable article writ
ten by one Bryntav II. Brobst assistant
manager of the Hotel Lincoln, of
Pittsburg, Pa. The article goes on to
describe Bryntav b. Bubst's travels
he has tried to make as wildly bsba-
rous as he possibly could.
Bryntav 81. Brobst could not or
! would not see our little city in it's true
light. He describes Ell PasO as a land
of incidence, typical western, rough
frontier town, with narrow, dingy
streets lined with small adobe build
ings, where Mexicans, prospectors, In
dians and cowboys hobnob together
and shoot each other when ever they
feel like 1t.
It ia evident from the tone of the ar
ticle that tt writer has some griev-
ance against Ell Paso and he can
think of no other way to satisfy such
than misrepresent our beautiful and
prosperous little city, to our eastern
friends.
In the first place our streets are not
narrow and dingy but are wide, COM
modious and have some fine business
blocks in them. At the present time
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and apartment
houses that will cost overS300 900 and at
the same time new residences are going
up everywhere. 1t is true we still
have the mule car. but before the year
ia over a system of electric roads are to
be built and our eastern friend (?) will
not have occasion to take "a ''dinky
bob tail car, drawn by a half fed burro
and drinen by lazy greaser," but
will have as fine accommodations as he
would have at home
He also refers in his article to the
visiting cOnsum ptives we have here,
whom he describes as wandering around
the hills and plains in an aimless con-
dition.
Bryntav h. Brobst evidently fails to
appreciate the fact that the climate of

HOW is THIS?
A Lady Protests Vigorously Against
the Treatment Accorded the
Mules on Magoffin' Street Rail-

Editor HERALD:
I wish to protest against the cruelty
shown by the driver on the San An
tonic and Msgoffin street railway.
The man lashes the mule nearly the
whole time during many trips, and gets
off and kicks him in the stomach some
times on no fault that is visible to an
outsider.
The creature is so afraid of him that
in trying to replace the harness the
mule SHE'D off as far as he could. If he
did show some pity when the creature
is nearly ready to drop or Is badly lame
it might be something of defence,
but the blows go on every other second
when no further effort seems possible
and no increase of speed is gained.
I, for one, am uncomfortable every
1 ride, and have to ride often
in the cheated term" and think such
barbarity in public conveyance
should be stopped. If any one wishes
the speed of electric cars let him speak
for them and not suffer this torture to
go on,

our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Marine Hospital Service Doing Good
Work.

| The smallpox situation on the river
is about the same, although the dis
ease is being held in check somewha,

there under orders from Surgeon-Gen.
eral Wymsn, of the marine hospital
service, at Washington, says the Maria
New Era. DIR. Lea Hume, the marine
hospital officer who is in charge of the
guards, and is himself on the river, es-
Inmates that there has been at least
700 cases on this side, and 1900 on
the other side. The mortality is very
great.
There is one thing certain and that
Is that the right steps are being taken
to stamp out the disease and keep 1t
out. Large quantities of vaccine mat
ter has been sent to Preside direct
ment at Washington, and each of the
guards instructed in the art Of vacci-
mating, and they are simply vaccinat-
ing every man, woman and child who
has not been previously vaccinated. 1t
will be the saving of the river country.
because the wholesale vaccination will
prevent the disease getting the hold
again it now has.
The people of this section should feel
grateful to Collector Drake and other
government officials under him who
ON - - NA-Fe-.y 49, 1890
and especially to Surgeon General
Wyman, who lost no time in sending
us help. The marine hospital service
is directly under his super vision, and
he has never been found wanting when
it came to question of protecting the
public interests.
There are now six guards On at the
river, and while of course, this is not
sufficient to properly protect the large
frontier territory of Preside and
Brewster counties it does great deal
to keep any more from coming in. If
few more guards could be authorized it
would be just that much better.
NONE AT DEMING.
It was bad enough whhen there ac-
tually was smallpox in Deming. At
that time we had to acknowledge it,
much as we disliked it.
But how much worse is it now when
the town is entirely free of disease, to
have man stand around the depot
platform on the arrival of trains and
tell passengers coming here that they
had better not go up town as the city is
full of smallpox.
The only reason he has for these lies,
is to induce the travelling public to
stop at his house, which is near the
track.
If the stern hand of law, was applied
in this case, it might assist
this old reprobate in telling the truth
eresfter.-Deming Headlight.

FOB 4 GRADED SCHOOL.

The special meeting to decide wheth-
or our city schools shall be graded or
not, has been called for Tuesday, Au-
gust 18th. 1t is very important that
every voter in the district should cast
his ballot for the graded schools.
1t requires majority of all the vot-
ers IN the district to carry this PROPOSE
ton. If you stay at home it is a vote
against the graded school. therefore 1t
Is very necessary that you vote for a
graded school. If you have a convey
ance see that your neighbors come and
vote for it, You have thought all the
time that you had graded school In
Medicine Lodge, and so you have, but
it has not been legally graded school
according to law and hence you have
not been receiving all the advantages
to be obtained by such system. Then
let us make it legally graded school.
A vote for graded schools permits
you to hold your annual election almost
i've weeks earlier than at the present
time, thus enabling the board of edu-
cation to secure the best teachers to be
found. Under the present system the
board ID not permitted to secure their
teachers until about Aug. 1st, and at
this time many of the best teachers
have secured places elsewhere.
Almost every city in the state, of 800
inhabitants or more. has the graded
system. How essential 1t is then that
we adopt the same system. Then vote
for graded schools.
A graded school gives the principal
full charge, and the board OF education
hold him responsible. This is as it
should be, for then all difficulties that
may arise in the school can be settled
in a peaceable manner by the principal.
A vote for graded schools gives you a
perfect school system In all its unity
and simplicity. A vote for graded
schools gives the board of education
more authority and greater power to
advance the standard of the school and
make it more efficient and more useful
and of greater benefit to tie patrons,
and if they can haye the hearty co op-
Grafton of the patrons and friends of
the district, they will soon make the
Medicine Lodge schools the best and
highest graded public school west of
Wichita.
The course of study has been extend
ed until it meets with the requirements
for entrance into the State University
or any other prominent college in the
state, without examination. Pratt.
Kingman and Wellington are the only
cities in this part of the state that have
course OF study as extensive as this.
In view of these facts come out to
the polls next Tuesday and cast your
vote for graded schools.

Trustee Lukens of this township
feels that he has been unduly snubbed
by Commissioner Rankin in the matter
Of overseeing the building of the new
bridges. 1t is always the custom that
the township trustee have supervision
over bridge building in his township
but this time j. R. Mccoy was appoint
ed to look after the business. Mr.. Luz
kens says that Commissioner Rankin
admits that he gave perfect satisfaction
when the bridge was built on the south
edge of town and since two of the new
bridges are to be constructed on the
same plan he does not understand why
he should be denied what rightfully be-
longs to him. After the action had
been taken, Mr.. Lukens called on
Commissioner Rankin for an ex-
PLANTATION and the only satisfaction he
could get was that an experienced car
penter was desired. Ofcourse, Mr.. LII
kens is aware of the fact that Mr.. Ran.
kin did not state his real reasons for
his arbitrary action. The INDEX and
Mr.. Lukens are not of the same politl-
cal faith but we do like to see fair play.
He is q poor man, like most OF US, and
has large family TO support and he is
entitled to all the emoIuments OF the
Office. It is wrong to mistreat q man
simply because IT Is in ones power to
do so.

Commissioners Rankin and Walker
met at the county clerks Office on Mon
day, but on account OF Chairman Nays
continued sickness and absence. they
did not make the tax levy but adjourn
ed yesterday to'a time to be designated
by the chairman after his return. Judge
Herrick, of Wellington, was before the
board representing the Society for Saw
ings, of Cleveland, and talked at length.
He says his clients will not compromise
the debt, but made no threats Of any
kind. The case which was mentioned
in these columns last week has been
appealed and with it goes Hugh Rank
in's campaign thunder higher than
Gilroy's kite. He will not pose as a
martyr before the voters this fall and
another air castle has been exploded.
Why this concern stubbornly refuses to
entertain propositions of compromise
when the bonds it holds were fraudu-
lently manufactured in the first place,
surpassss our understanding.
