Inc Ell Paso Medical society has de-
cided that 1T is now in order to purge
the city OF quacks. During the past
year the diploma mills" of Chicago
and other cities have done a flourish
ing business. and Texas having no law
requiring an examination to test the
fitness of the applicants. the holders of
the bogus diplomas flock to the state
by hundreds.
Some time ago over fifty of these boz
gus diplomas were found on the regis
tration book of Tarrant county alone.
A few months ago theauthorities in
chicago proceeded against one diplo-
ma mill and upon the witness stand
young lady testified that she signed
the professors names to the docu-
ments. 1t is needless to say that the
college went out of business. A few
days ago two others were served the
same fate. All a person has to do is
to send them S. and he is then fixed
for business.
A recent death in this city of a wo-
man who was under treatment of one
of these graduates is the probable
cause of the decision of the medical
society to do a little house cleaning.
Strange to say, whenever one of these
imposters is prosecuted he cries perse-
cutIon at once and secures the SYM
pathy of numbers of people who say
the reputable physicians are jealous,
etc, when in fact it is for the good
of the public that the action is taken.

From Alam0gOrdO

ALAMOGORDO, n. M, Dec. 13-This
has been a busy week in speculation as
to whether the Rock Island had bought
the Ell Paso and Northeastern or not.
The various officials of the h. P. & N.
E. have naturally wondered if it were
true and whether the powers here
would still retain their services.
Alamogordo will be the natural head
center of work and material for the
proposed extension and local merch-
ants are looking forward to excellent
business after January 1, 1901.
Mining Business Increasing.
Mining business here is largely on
the increase and in Jarilla. Nal rails
and San Andreas there have been some
month and naturally the E. p. & n. E.
is getting the transportation.
Saw Mills Run Full Time.
The saw mills of the Alamogordo
Lumber company are running day and
night. In November this company
shipped fro mhere over two million
feet of lumber to Colorado points be-
sides 10000 lath. 40 cars of wood and
ten cars of mining timbers. They man
ufactured 10000 boxes of various kinds.
"A
euuinnent was opened December 1,
employing fifty hands and the first
days work was 20,vJ0 feet of lumber
made into box shocks.
Artesian Well Experiments.
About a month ago the citizens of
this place subscribed $500 to bore an
artesian we'll contract for 1000 feet
mas been made with Eliza White of RoS-
well who is now on his way here, and
will begin borning December 20. The
matter has been delayed owing to scar
city of casing in the country. The cas-
ing was at last discovered in Pennsyl-
vania and is now on its way. Artesian
water will be a great boon to all this
country and the citizens here are doing
their best to obtain it.
Mckinley and the Sheep Men.
One of the engineers who has been
out locating the extension reports that
on the night of November 6, they were
advised of McKinley's election in a
unique way. The sheep men all over
New Mexico were naturally extremely
interested to see that free wool was not
successful SO as soon as the returns
shwed republican success from every
high point in the Jicarilla, Gallinas.
shepherds watching their fiocks were
cheered by beacon fires which told
them that for four years more their
business would bring them aliving and
they would not be pauperiZed by free
wool. 1t shows the spirit of New Mex
leo and the deep interest that was TAX
en- in republican prosperity.
A Prospecting Concern.
George Carl the proprietor of the ice
factory here, has just closed contract
for a cotton ice machine. His bust
ness has increased so much this past
year and the demand for ice along the
present line and the proposed extern
sion will be so great another year that
he has been obliged to enlarge his
plant. He is one of the successful men
of this valley, having created and
erected a business here that is a cree
to the place.
The extension of the E. p. & N. E.
railroad by means of its new branch,
the Z. p. & r. s.. now having been as
sured, Alamogordo people are prepar-
ing for a large increase in business.
Both mills will be running night and
day and all sorts of business will flour
ish. The lumber company has a con-
tract for 10000, 900 feet of ties.

UNCLE SANS ICEOUSE
Enormous Refrigerator Plant
Recently Shipped'to Manila.
OF THE STRUCTURE.

II Will BE Two Hundred and Forty
Ave Feet Square and VIII Cost
About $500, 0OO-Huse Glass Globe
to Be Illuminated mt Night Will BE
Mounted Upon the Buildings Tow
erIike Chimney.
Uncle Sam is going to be tie ice man.
He has ordered sent to Manila the ma
terial with which to build Il huge ice
making plant and cold storage ware
house The last batch of the fittings
for the icehouse started few days ago
for the Philippines in two Swedish
tramp steamers, says the New York
Journal.
Ice machine sharps say thatmo other
government owns an icehouser of any
size. The one in Manila will be 245
feet square. and it will cost about
$500. 900. It will hold enough beef,
mutton. pork, butter, eggs and other
perisliable food to supply 10000 sol
diers for three months.
The commissary department began
the building about year ago. Major
Leon S. Rondiez is in charge of the
work, and he has as his engineer Frank
l.. Strong and as architect Edward
Barrath of Chicago, who builds ice
houses for the beef trust. John Cook
of New York city is general overseer.
They have designed structure which
they consider artistic, although ii is to
be used for such prosaic purposes as
the chilling of pork The chimney will
masquerade as an ornamental tower,
and on the top of it will be huge
glass globe. and stanling in heroic at
titude above it will be Goddess OF
Liberty. At night the globe will be il
Illuminated TO impress the Filipinos.
The plant will turn out 40 tons of ice
a day and will keep cool 1900 tons of
beef, 200 tons of mutton, 90 tons of
butter, 100 tons of potatoes and 100
sons of bacon. There will be four miles
of overhead track with hooks upon it
from which sides,of beef will hang and
$4,000 beef hooks.
When the plant is started. it will be
possible for Il ship to tie up alongside
Uncle Sans icehouse and take in n
supply of beef by means of a sort of
trolley railroad. The meatlwill run di-
rect from the cold storage rooms to the
hold of the vessel, almost without be-
ing touched by the workmcn.
The bricks for the walls are being
made in Manila with machinery sent
from the United States. The laborers
are FilipinOs. the bosses Americans,
who are learning such expressions as
"Get n move on you" and Don't be all
day with that mortar in the Filipino
language.
In order to impress the natives with
the benefits of n free and enlightened
government Major Rondiez has order
ed n handsome fountain which will
stand in front of the office of Uncle
Sans refrigerator and squirt water to
a great height.
This feature, combined with the glass
globe and the Goddess of Liberty, the
major thinks. will make the icehOuse
the most tasteful structure in Uncle
Sans far eastern possessions.
Tenants of the other government
buildings in Manila look with envious
eyes upon the pretentious architecture
of the new pork cooling establishment.
They want TO borrow Major RondieZ's
Goddess of Liberty and put her on the
army headquarters or the police court,
on the ground that she would look
more appropriate there.

NEW MOTOR ENGINE.
One That May BE Used In Railway
Coaches at Small Cost.


President Cassatt of the Pennsylva-
mia lines is. having his private car
equipped with a new Vimotum engine
in indianapolis, and when completed
the car will be taken over the lines of
the company for exhibition purposes.
The engine used is the invention of
Thomas m. Defrees of Indianapolis
Equipped with Defrees' thermotor, the
cars can travel at the rate of 40 to 90
miles an hour.
The mechanism is so constructed
that railroad companies may remodel
passenger coaches already in service,
no specially constructed car being re-
quired for the engine. says the Chicago
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. The coaches can be operated
at about half the cost of operating an
electric car. Only one man is required
to handle the engine, which, I'm addi-
ton to propelling the car, supplies the
coach with light and heat.
The entire apparatus is constructed
with a view to obtaining the greatest
power at the least cost, and it is esti-
mated that the car can make the trip
from Chicago or Pittsburg to New
York without a stop for fuel or water
and at n cost of only SIS. A COM
pany has been formed in Indianapolis
to install the new power for railroad
companies.
