MALICIOUS BOYS
Are Suspected BY A. II. Holmes OF
Having Rdided His House.

Petty thieves visited A. n. Holmes
residence, 719 Myrtle avenue, again
last night. They brought back the
tum bier belonging to the door bell and
took away a stand pipe from the front
yard.
''They didn't get any thing out of the
house." said Mr.. Holmes, "because
they had already taken everything they
could lay their hands on.
81 am confident that the plunderers
were boys, and succeeded Indicating q
quantity of the stolen odds and ends at
junk shops which deal in second hand
goods and all kinds of riff raft. l be-
lieve the ease with which petty thieves
can dispose of such things tends to en-
courage them and the junk shop keep
ers show no desire nor disposition to
aid the owners in identifying the
thieves after the goods have been To-
Gated. 1 believe small boys made all
the recent raids on my house and the
junk shops are an inducement to them
that is irresistible. They can steal an
article worth probably So or SO and dis
pose of it to a junk dealer for 40 or SO
cents and no questions asked.'

BEGINNING EARLY
To FIGURE on Next Years Campaign

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Ang. 2.-Despite
the fact that the election of governor
in Alabama does not take place until
next year, the Johnston and anti
John ston factions of the democratic
party are already preparing for the
struggle for supremacy.
Governor Johnston, who is now serv-
ing his second term, has been credited
with aspiring to the United States SEN
atorship, but an effort is being made
to prevail on him to stand for renomi-
nation for governor. His prominent
supporters-in this city and elsewhere
throughout the state are circulating
petitions calling on him to make the
race for third term.
The petitions set forth that Cover
nor Johnston is the only man who can
maintain and carry out the reforms
which he has inaugursted in the man
agement of the states affairs and he is
urged very forcibly to seek anotE er
nomination.

THE MARVEL
OF THE WEST
The Progress Of Ell Paso Ex-
cites Comment Everywhere.
REASONS FOR GROWTH
Major B. F. Hammett Sums Up Few
Of the Causes Which Tend to Pro.
duce q City and Says That This
Town ia destined tn Re Graat

1OWu Is DcSClu6U lO De Uf6ab.
The demand for building lots in the
residence portion of the city, especially
north OF the S. Z. railway, continues
good.
The Campbell Real Estate company
has sold out all Of it's vast tract sur
rounding the Mesa school except 40
lots and Major Hammett said this
morning that if he had thousand
more lots he could readily dispose Of
hem, the demand for building sites
being SO greas.
1.-THE growth of Ell Paso is pheno-
menal," said Major Hammett this
town is talked about everywhere and
is attracting attention all over the
west, east and south west.
"Since 1 have been in Ell Paso
have never seen it in the same condi-
tion as at present 1 don't think
there is vacant storeroOm in town
that is completed and stores and re-
sidences are rented faster than they
can be built. Lots also are selling
rapidly. During June the Campbell
company sold 1856 building lots. We
have but few left and are not likely
to have the m long.
1--WE have undoubtedly got the best
town in the southwest. There is more
activity in it. You can see more pro-
gress exhibited in this city than in any
town of it's size in the United Stat g.
.'What is the reason for this remark
able growth? Well, attribute it to
the rapid development of the surround
ing country and to the railroads. The
Sierra Madre line open up msgnifi-
cent country which ts tributary to this
city and all of northern Mexico is de-
veloping rapidly and this city is being
benefited by it accordingly. 1t is the
same way with the White Oaks coun-
try opened up by the El Paso and
Northe eastern. This town reaps the be-
nefit.
Another great help to the town are
the magnificent school facilities. The
schools undoubtedly draw great uum.
bers Of people here from the surround
ing country. The miner, the ranch
man and the herder are drifting in
every day to give their children the
benefit of Ell Paso's school.
'There is nothing 1 can see can keep
this town from continuing to grow. II is
be coming quite mining center and
know of two mining brokers about to
locate here. One of them has already
rented an Office and the other can't find
one. 1t is also the headquarters for
cattle traders and many big deals have
been made here.
81 have never known of any town
which has exhibited such a remarkably
healthy growth in so short q time as
Ell Paso. She is the marvel of the
south west and people all over the coun-
try are talking about it. This summer
also has been most remarkable one.

SENATOR THURSTON
Says the People Are With McKin-
ley.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Senstor
Thurston, of Nebraska, candidly ad-
mits that it would have been policy if
this government after the defeat of th e
Spaniards at Manila, had obt ined q
naval coaling station, and then left the
Philippines to the natives.
The senator, however, insists that
we are at war with the Fflipipos, and
the contest cannot be abandoned no
matter how many men may be required
to put down the insurrection.
He is also of the opinion that tn g
sentiment of the people of the country
is with the president beyond doubt,
but for the future welfare of the ad-
ministration and the republican party
the war ought to be ended before the
political campaign next year.
