 E. B. Buckingham has 8 new horse. Children's day was observed, last Sum- day, according to custom. The children were made to feel that the entire day was theirs. Every hymn, scripture, prayer and sermon was for their bene fit. In the morning the pastor preached chemical sermon, illustrating five diffsren classes of people. to which earnest attention was given. The evening exercises were much tue same as in years gone by. A musical program called uHeaven" was we'll given by the choir, under the able direction o1 E. B. Buckingham. The church and congregation owe to MT Buckingham hearty thanks, for his kindly aid in this program. People not residents of North vile, and others who live here, yet mol
 members of the church, have been very
 kind in lending assistarce in this direc

cream, to which the children did ample
 justice. At 6 50 o'clock the children left,
 feeling that they had had good time.
 The Children's day service was held as
 usual at the time of the regular morning (
 service. The weather was all that could
 be desired, a perfect June day. The chil-
 dren were out in full force and occupied the front seats. A printed service enti- tied 'sThe days of thy youth" was used,
 consisting largely of responsive readings, in which the audience joined heartily. Six children were presented for baptism and 12 who were baptized seven years ego, received Bibles, which the pastor presented to them in the name of the church, with few appropriate remarks, expressing the interest of the church in
 their welfare. After an anthem by the choir the pastor made brief address es- pecially to the children. A collection
 was taken for the missionary work of the Congregational Sunday school and Pub fishing society. For several years the Children's day offering has been made up
 by the Sunday school to the sum of $75,
 which Is sufficient to sustain three schools
 in the destitute portions of our land. It
 Is good investment for any school tc
 make. The charming weather, the beau tiful fl overs, the bright and happy chil
 dren, the solemn baptisms, the interest ing presentation of Bibles, the fine sing. ing and appropriate speaking, all con- bined to make it an ideal Children's day.

The executive committee of the
Carnival association held a meteing
last night and transacted much bus
mess.
At the suggestion of the entertain
ment committee the association has
decidede to establish an information
bureau for the benefit of guests of the
city. John Julian was selected to
manage that department and will get
a list of every boarding and lodging
house in the city as well as a list of
private houses that wish to take in
people during the Carnival. He will
also prepare some notes on the points
direct visitors who want to see the
surrounding country.
Contracts for the music and other
attractions were signed.
Bob Finley, manager of the roping
contest, reported that many new con-
testants were applying for admission
and he expected the contest to be the
most interesting ever held in this part
of the west.
The committee decided 10 invite
Governor Sayers and all other state Of
f1cers to be present at the big show,
and Senator Turney. Representative
Bridgers. and Judge Van Sickle were
appointed a committee to invite them
and other noted people as the guests
of the association
The committee reviewed the work
already done and it was the unani-
nous opinion that things were in as
good condition as could be. All were
thoroughly satisfied with the present
conditions and are looking forward
with the belief that the Carnival will
be a greater success than the most
sanguinary advocate expected.

LEON BLUM, A LARGE PROP
ERTY OWNER, is HER
He Hardly Knows the City of Ell Paso,
Such Have Been the Changes Since
His Last Visit.

Leon Blum, one of Texas's wealthiest
citizens, is spending a few days in Ell
Paso.
For many years IIr. Blum and his
brother were the largest land owners
in Texas and are yet extensively inter-
ested in real estate in every part of the
state. He has considerable interests
here and expresses himself as we'll
pleased with his investments in the
border city.
Several years ago Mr.. Blum retired
from business and now only looks after
his interests that agents cannot man
age. He is one of the owners of Magof-
fms addition and has a number of bus
mess houses here. He visits this city
every year but stated this morning that
he hardly knew the place when he
came this time. He has a great deal
of faith in Ell Paso and is of the opin--
ion that this will be one of the best
cities in Texas in the near future.

JUAN CREEL HAS FINALLY
COMPLETED HIS BIG DEAL
By Which the Ownership of the Sup
ply House is Turned Over to the
Denver Firm

The final transfer of the Ell Paso
Mine, Mill and Smelter Supply House
was made yesterday afternoon and the
establishment was formally turned ov-
er to the new Denver company by Mr..
Creel.
1t has been stated that the Ell Paso
Foundry and Machine company had
bought the Pass City foundry and that
Mr.. Creel would no longer be interest
ed in Ell Paso directly. Mr.. Creel de-
MES this statement, however, and says
he is still directly interested and in
tends to be for some time He still
owns the foundry and will increase it's
capacity as fast as the demand for his
wares grows
Mr.. Creel has been valuable man
to Ell Paso and has probably done as
much towards securing the trade of the
surrounding country as any other man
here. He came here with his money
and engaged in what other men consid-
cred an adventure but has made a sue
cess of every undertaking. He is still
interested and is one of the few men
who have agreed to put money into an
electric car line and wait for his prof
its. He sees in Ell Paso something
more than a mere village and prob
ably has more faith in her future than
years.
