George w. JalOnick. adjuSter for the
Texas and Arkansas insurance rating
bureau. is in the city from Dallas ac-
companied by his brother. l. Jalonick
state agent of the Continental insur-
ance company of New York They are
here on their annual inspection trip
and will remain here several days.
''El Paso has the cheapest rate of
any city in the state above the divis-
ion line" said the inspector this morn
ing. and will always have a cheap
rate If the conditions hold out the
same. The insurance companies have
lost very little money on this city and
attribute it to the superior material
used in the construction of the build
ings. Most of the buildings here are
built of brick and are so constructed
as to prevent fire from spreading. Ell
Paso is a substantially built city and
much ahead OF the average city in
Texas inthis respect
w. H. Bailey. managing editor of
the Houston Herald. is in the city on
pleasure trip. The Ell Paso carnival
is all the talk at San Antonio he
said this morning. and i predict that
you will have an enormous crowd here
from that section. The news has not
reached Houston much yet but when
get back I will tell the people what
you are going to do. This climate is
the greatest I ever saw and that if
nothing else will bring many people
here" Mr.. Bailey has many old friends
here who once lived in Houston and
will spend several days with them.
''The sound money democrats of
Missouri refused to endorse Bryan this
year" said Charles l.. Frisch. well
known drummer of st. Louis. Like
many other democrats and republicans
they are without a party and il is hard
to tell how they will vote. This is a
that never existed over the
country to such an extent and IL is
hard to tell what the result will be.
The free silver faction of the republic
can party is in the same condition and
the man who bets his money on the
election this year bases his opinion on
desire instead of real belief"
The new Sheldon hotel is receiving
many appreciative compliments from
the travelling public just now and is
receiving it's portion of the patronage.
II was surprised to find such a place
in FL Paso.' said w. b. Cross of Dali
las to a Herald reporter. Il have trav-
eled over the entire country and have
found no place in the south that gives
1t gives quite as good service in every
way as does the Oriental in Dallas and
that is saying as much as can be said
in the south. The place is well fur
nished. is comfortable throughout. and
gives as good fare as any man needs.
/ have spent two days here and find
il a pleasant place to loaf and / pre-
dict that it will become a popular Sun
day resort as soon as the public learns
what il really is.
THE result of an election was never
so uncertain as the present one is in
the east" said Colonel J. l.. Bean of
New York last night. Il have talked
with many prominent democrats and
republicans and | have found very few
who are satisfied with the outlook. Ii
is true I saw several manufacturers
who said they would not vote for Nc
but on the other hand the still
vote may change things no little. There
will be many democrats who will not
vote at all and this may change things.
talked with several democratic lead
ers who said that the democrats had
no chance to win anything in the east
and from this difference you can see
that everything is uncertain. There is
a great deal of betting going on but
think most Of them are hedging to
make themselves safe.
