THE CARNIVAL SHOULD
BE ADVERTISED IN ARIZONA

Travelling Freight Agent Curtis of
the Texas & Pacific has just returned
from a tour of Arizona. You would
be surprised at the interest the people
of Arizona are taking in the Ell Paso
Carnival" said Mr.. Curtis to Her
aid reporter this morning. Il met full
ly fifty people who said they were COM
ing here and 1 venture that hundreds
would come if the Carnival association
would advertise it properly in that
section.
There has been no advertising sent
to that country yet but the people have
heard of it through the papers and are
coming any way. The Phoenix car
nival was very near a failure this
year from the standpoint of attendance
and the managers attribute it to the
Ell Paso Carnival. The people of that
country now look upon El Paso as a
city and all want to come here.
The Southern Pacific has offered a
rate but it is too high and they are not
advertising it at that. The branch
roads in Arizona, where most of the
people live, have offered no rate at
all and are paying no attention to the
matter. If the Carnival association
would write the officials they might
make a good rate"

NOCATTLE TICKS
YET INFE5 THE LIVE
STOCK OF CHIHUAHUA.
But If II!act ed Cattle Are Not Rigidly
Excluded the Trade With Mexico
Will Be Ruined. t-

The recent shipment of cattle from
below the quarantine line in Texas
into chihuahua has created some dis
turbance among cat..emen in that
state.
w. J. Cox of Ell Paso. who is con-
siderably interested in Mexican trade,
said this morning that If the state al
lowed many more of these cattle to
enter there it would in all probability
injure the cattle business permanently.
There are no ticks in that section at
present but AZ these cattle are allowed
to go mere it is only a question of time
until Chihuahua will be Quarantined
and the international trade will be
practically destroyed.
The Chihuahua Enterprise prints
the following on the situation which
indicates that the state government
has taken lie proper move to prevent
bad cattle from going to the ranges in
that state:
1t was learned in this city for the
first time yesterday that an attempt is
DeluS uldUe " iulO
this country from the district in Tex
as infected with the Texas" fever.
The report gained circulation that the
same stockman of Beeville, Tex, VINO
sold to Don Miguel Salas the Texas
bulls which were condemned and Or
dered isolated, has enroute to this
state another carload of bulls, and
fearing detention at Ell Paso where the
federal officers have been notified to
be on the lookout for suspicious stock.
the owners have taken the trouble and
the precaution to ship them by way of
Eagle Pass and Torreon. Upon the
verification of this report, the hacien-
dados of this state Immediately pre-
sented a second petition to the state
authorities protesting against this
grave breach of faith, and it may prove
disastrous to owners of the stock
should they dispose of them to deal
ers or stockmen in this state who are
not cognizant of the transaction which
took place ten days ago.

THE SLAUGHTER
LLEWELLYN CONTEST.
In New. Mexico Has Been Exciting
Considerable Interest.-Mr. Slaugh-
ter Thinks He is Safe


Hon. w. H. Slaughter. whose cleo
tion to the New Mexico legislature is
being contested by Hon. w. H. H.
Llewellyn, was in Ell Paso last night
Mr.. Slaughter came down from Las
Cruces where he has been all the week
supporting his interests before Notary
fered in the contest.
The election was a close one, the
court showing only forty-seven major
ity for Slaughter. Slaughter is a dem
ocrat and was nominated on an al
legged joint republican and democratic
ticket. Llewellyn is a republican and
his first attack is on the illegality OF
this ticket. He also makes charges OF
bribery alleged to have been commit
ted in precincts No. 1 of Dona Ana
county and No. 2 of Otero county, Mr.
Slaughter says the bribery charges
were not strongly supported in evi-
dence-in fact one or two specifications
in the charge not being supported al
all, and thinks he may reasonably
count on keeping his forty-seven ma
jority when the report goes to the leg
islautre. Besides said Mr.. Slaught-
er to a Herald reporter, 'Mr. Llewel-
lyn's contest is not popular with local
republicans, and although the lower
house is almost entirely republican
do not think they will consider it good
policy to reverse the decision made
at the polls"

Miserable Chinese

PEKIN, Dec. 22-Killing Chinese is
still fashionable in Pekin.
Today the Germans beheaded thir-
teen for some trivial offenses which
in the United States would be punished
with short terms of Imprisonment. The
Germans appear to have no regard
whatever for the lives of Cinnamon

LONDON, Dec 22-The government

been signed as yet 1t will be signed
tomorrow after translation
LONDON, Dec. PA dispatch to
the Times from Pekin says the pre-
amble to the preliminary note which
has been agreed upon by the ministers
is lengthy.
1t condemns outrages as crimes un-
precedented in the history of mankind
and as crimes against the law of ma
tions and against humanity and civili-
Zation.
1t denounces the treachery of the
government in declaring that it was
protecting the legations when it was
actually beseiging them.
1t impeaches the murderers of Baron
Won Kettleler, German minister, and
.,ugiyama Akira, chancellor of the JAP
anese legation. and refers to the tor
lures and assassination of other for
eigners.
Outrages by Allies.
LONDON, Dec 22-The Times today

all agree that the Americans are by
far the best. They are always gentle
men.
Next in estimation come the Ger
mans, and after them the English, who
are described as petty" pilferers.
The French, says the writer's, are
rayishers, while the Russians are call
ed the worst of all and are described as
wanton murderers.

CHARLIE ROSSCASE|
Recalled BY Recent incidents
and the Brother of the
Unfortunate Boy States
His Views.

FORT DODGE, Iowa, Dec. 22-The
nine-year-old son of Louis Tonhoz, OF
Judd, a small town about ten miles
east of here, was kidnapped Tuesday
The father has hired detectives and
it is expected there will be startling
developments.
The father has offered a reward OF
$500 for the return of the boy, or $1,000
for the apprehension of the kidnapers
Tonhoz is one of the largest landhold
ers of this section. His wife is serious
ly ill for fear that her boy will be Sc
verely dealt with.
The kidnapers are supposed to be
two men who were at the house Tues
day afternoon and who represented
themselves as book agents.
Girl Kidnapped in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22-Esther Roder-
ick, aged Il, has disappeared from her
home, and although diligent search has
been made by the police no trace of
her has been found.
Her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Roderick,
believes her chlid has been kidnapped
and is being held for a reward.
Mrs. Roderick is a widow. A year
ago her husband died. He carried a
heavy life insurance. Upon this fact
Mrs Roderick bases her belief, that
the daughter is kidnapped and held for
ransom
Charlie Ross Recalled.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22-The kid
naping of Eddie Cudany, of Omaha, has
been followed with much interest
here. 1t renewed the discussion of the
case of Charlie Ross in 1874, in which
ransom was refused and the kidnapped
child never returned.
Mrs. Ross, the stolen boys mother
still resides at Germantown. Her hus-
band died three years ago.
The newspapers containing accounts
of the Omaha kidnapping case have
been kept from her, as she still grieves
over the loss of her son.
Walter, Charles brother. who was
abducted with his brother but was sub
sequently released, is now senior mem
ber of the firm of Ross, Henderson q,
Company, brokers. He was asked
what he though. of paying ransom to
child stealers. He said: MY father
was vigorously opposed to paying a
ransom for Charles return, as he re-
garded it as a premium on the life OF
the child. I am heartily in accord
with my deceased fathers views on the
subject. A ransom is a premium on
life and liberty, an destablishes an
iniquitous precedent which might re-
suit in sorrow to many families"
