DO We WANT
ANNEXATION?
Talk OF Including Ell Paso In
A New State Increases.
1T WOULD BENEFIT ALL

The New State Would Gain At Once A
Powerful Prestige In the Great
Southwest, And Ell PasO, Already
the Metropolis, Would AS the Cap
ital City Occupy A Commanding
Position-We Would Then Stand
For Something In State And Ma
tional Politics.
The Llewellyn memorial now pend
ing in the legislative assembly, says q
New Mexico exchange, is addressed TO
the president and congress OF the I'm
tied States, requesting mat the por.
tons of the state of Texas lying west OF
a line commencing 1T the southeast
corner of the territory and
thence due south along the 10th de-
prees of longitude to q point where the
same intersects the Rio Grande, be an
nexed to the territory Of New Mexico.
1t is shown that the new order, as
proposed, will mea b formation OF
ga great state" The interests OF whose
people have been as one since a period
%antedating the landing of the Pllgr1m
fathers at Plymouth Rock.
1t is asked that the president OF the
United States. governor of New Mex
leo, and governor of Texas appoint q
commission of three congressman,
three senators, 100 citizens OF New
Mexico and 100 citizens OF Texas, whlch
commission shall meet in the city OF
Deming, July 4, 1899, and be empower
ed to hold adjourned meetings in the
CITY of Ell Paso, Tex. for b purpose
of considering n arranging q baslts
upon which the cession of territory
from the state of Texa can be accom-
plished.
REASONS FOR ANNEXATION.
Ell Paso is the tail end of Texas and
is as much isolated ss If situated In
California. In the politics of the state
she cuts no figure whatever and rarely
if ever is one of her citizens favored
with an ofics of any kind except such
as are elected by the people OF this
locality,
sidents, filled with military ardor,
sent kilograms aud letters to the gov
ernor of Texas asking permission to
organize companies of cavalry or In
fantry for the national defense. The
executive replied coldly and briefly
that none from Ell Paso were needed
and only by .organizing immune com
panies by authority of the president
himself, were citizens of this city en-
abled to get to the 'front.'.
Had it not been for the immune
regiments, residents OF Ell Paso might
as we'll have lived at chihuahua, so
far as the opportunity of serving their
country was concerned.
This end of the state is not q factor
in the politics of Texas and is com
mercially allied with New Mexico,
Arizona. and chihuahua It Is be
lieved hat but few persons will be
found in this vicinity to oppose the an
nexation OF this portion of Texas to at
least q portion of New Mexico.
Residents of both localities concede
that should the annexation take place

Kansas Missouri Football Game

BOTH TEAMS AGREE.
Final Arrangements Completed
at Kansas City.
General News From the World
of Sport.

Kansas City. No. Nov. 16.-Repre-
sentatives of the football teams of Mis-
souri, and Kansas universities called
on the Convention hall directors at IL
o'clock yesterday morning and inform
ed them that the football teams of the
two colleges would like to be released
from the contract that was made to
play the annual game in the big hall
The conference between the college
men and the directors of the hall was
short and to the point and, after some
discussion the directors stated that
they would release the teams from the
contract under certain conditions. The
hall management was disappointed
when it was announced that the teams
were opposed to playing indoors, as 1t
was estimated that at least $4,000 in
gate receipts would be received. AS
Thanksgiving game stipulated that the
hall management should receive 80 per
cent of the gate receipts, the directors
naturally expected to receive quite a
sum from the game.
1t was finally agreed that the teams
should meet at Exposition park and
that the Convention hall people should
receive 80 per cent of the receipts, al
though the contest will not be in the
hall
The college men were very gentle
manly and courteous about the mat
ter" said John A. Brown, one of the
directors. I'VE settled the affair salts
factOrily, but we We're disappointed
so strongly opposed to the indoor game,
as we were anxious to replenish our
treasury. When the contract was made
the football men asked US to refuse to
allow any games to be played in the
hall prior to Thanksgiving and we have
had several applications from other
teams, but, out of Difference to the re-
quest of the Missouri and Kansas
teams, all other applicants have been
turned down"

SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
Winter.

A change from warm to cold is al
ways attended with more danger than
from a cold to a warm temperature,
hence the greater mortality from lung
and throat diseases at this season Of
the year as compared with spring.
The best protection against colds is
not so much in extra clothing as in
good digestion.
If the digestion and circulation are
good, colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the
slightest prOvOcatiOn.
People who make a regular practice
of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals are free from colds, simply
because their digestion is perfect, the
heart strong and regular, and the whole
system fortified against disease.
1t requires little argument to con-
vince anyone that the best safeguards
against colds, pneumonia and changes
of temperature is a good stomach.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets taken at
ter meals are dissolved and mingling
with the food cause ii to be promptly
digested and assimilated; they do this
because they contain nothing but harm
less digestive elements. which digest
meat, eggs and other food even when
| the stomach itself is weak and faced.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Ia blets make peO-
pie well and keep them weIl and the
| best habit you can acquire is to make
| daily use OF them at meals to keep the
| digestive organs strong and vigorous.

HUGHEY JENNINGS TALKS.
Admits That He Has Had an Offer
From Milwaukee.

Baltimore, Nov. 16.-Hughey Jennings, the
famous baseball player has an abiding
faith in the future of the forming Amer

clubs. Jennings left this city yesterday
for Philadelphia He came here to vote
and to see his old friends.

of the new league, said Jennings, "and
YOU would be SURPRISED at the backing
pledged to the promoters. I not at

things progress as anticipated, these men
magnates will discover something that
will set them to guessing. Now, do you

money pushing along the league If there
were not sure that the money would be
forthcoming when needed? A proposition
has been made to me to manage the Mil
Waukee club and am considering It.
"Of course the players are not under
contract now and We have a right to
think and talk and to negotiate. If we
were to do thse things while under con-
tract the present magnates might make
trouble for US.
The players would be with the new
league in sentiment and would go with
the new organization if given satisfactory
guarantee of permanency. They would go,

of the people are ready to accept Amer

compelled to send a great army to the

waging the humane war in history. If
it was simply a matter of killing, we
should not need 50 large an army. Two

answer to this question. Our troops
