Chairman Brupner, of the fire and
water com mittee, su bm tilted a report on
the petition OF E. V. Berrien to have
the shacks on Oregon street removed .
He found that they encroached on the
sidewalk and we're regular fire traps,
and be was in favor of having them re-
moved If it could be done. He moved
to have the matter taken up and
the chief of police instructed so notify
the owners to have the shacks removed
from the street.
Mr. Berrien, who was present, OBJ
jected to having them moved back
from the street as that would only in
crease the danger to adjoining prop
erty.
The matter was finally settled by al
lowing the committee further time to
Investigate and report.
The following petition was referred
to the street improvement com m1ttee:
Ell PASo, Tex, May 10, 1900
To the Honorable Mayor and City Ccun-
Gil OF Ell Paso:
Gentlemen: I desire permission TO
pipe hot water from the Consumers
Ice compsny's factory, across South
Florence street: then south abO lO4
feet to Second street; then east alb nut
40 feet and across Second street: the
water to be used for heating green
houses and for watering, the work to
be done under the supervision of the
city engineer.
Yours respectfully,
81. A. KEZER.
MRS. CLIFFORD DEAD.
Dave Robinson came before the coun-
Gil to stare that word had just been RS
ceived of the dealt of Alderman Cliff
ford's mother in Ireland before he was
able to see her, VIII CHI had been the
main object of his trip home.
SALARY DOUBLED
Alderman Badger moved to increase
the salary of City Engineer Win berry
IS sewer commissioner from
S25 TO $50 q month saying that the
work had greatly Increased since III
salary was fixed. The sewer system
had so increased as to render horse
and buggy essential TO the proper die
charge of the duties of the office and
this would entail an additional ex-
ponse. The motion was unanimously
passed and Msj or Win oerly extended
his thanks TT the council. He will now
receive 8 total OF $3.50 instead of 1925 q
month.
LONG RECESS.
After this,as there was no other bust
ness ready, the council took a recess
until the city attorney could finish
with the ordinance. Judge Kemp'-
three quarters of an hour proved to be
the longest yet on record and some of
the aldermen began to fsa- it would

while the judge continued in the
mayors Office to wrestle with the or

tougher proposition than he bargained
for. At last however .he finished and
came in and Mayor Magoffin called thu

Alderman Ste wars proved difficult

add they debste0 over 1t long and ear

The mayor was inclined to think the
amendmen of no use. Mr.. Ogden, the
chairman of the committee, said IL had
been inserted at the Instance of Mr..
Stewart and he could not see the use of
1t.
Mr.. Stewart said his idea was to
prevent the company at any future
date shutting out competitors from

wise be the case in the event of the
city growing to such proportions rs
to bring other lines here ard to prevent
she streets from becoming c!ogged

PRODUCER GETS BENEFITS.

If the cotton growers and business
men of Terrell county could 1ully rear
ize the benefits cotton mill would DE
in Dawson they would not rest untll
one or more was put in operation.
THE News has tried to point out these
benefits, and as further substantlaVloh
of our claim or this line we reproduce
the following from the Augusta enron
icle:
"It is.likely that the close OF the I9th
century and the dawn of the 2oth VIII
be known in history as the cotton lac-
tory building era. All over the caro-
linas and Georgia the building OF mills
is progressing rapidly. North Caro-
lima was in the lead last year with
Georgia in second place. An organiZ.
ed effort is being made in towns along
the Georgia railroad to interest the
people in factory building. The lesson
is beng learned that it is to the inter
est of the producer that the raw mate
rial. the product Of Mis- labor, be manu-
featured as near home as possible,
thereby saving freIghts that must come
out of his pocket if the staple Is
shipped to the east or Europe, as 1t is
a well-known fact IN every locality IN
Georgia where there is cotton mill IN
operation that cotton sold during the
mast season at one-fourth to half cent
a Mound more than it brought at points
where there is no factory. The spot
prlce for cotton IS what the producer
wants increased. The presence OF a
factory makes more people to feed, and
consequently greater demand for the
products of the farm and garden III
brings more people to help pay taxes
and more property to be taxed, max
ing the burdens Of government hght
all around. 1t means better roads, en-
HANGED value of real estate, constant
business, no long, dreary summer
months of idleness and longing for
cotton picking time, Pay day comes
every Saturday; cash trade all the
time. All the work will be done at
home, and all of the money Will be
paid out TO home labor"

Some time ago one of Marshall's most

THE most remarkable pension bill
that has been introduced at this session
of congress is that of Senator Platt Of
New York. The applicant in this bill
is a man 90 years Of age, who says that
he had a son who enlisted in the union
army in 1851 and died or heart disease
before he was mustered into service.
There is no law under which this OLD
man can geta pension, and hence Sen
ator Platt has undertaken to take care
OF him. No doubt he is charge on the
community in which he lives and the
people do not want to be burdened
with HIM, hence the effort TO unload
HIM on the government. The yankee
pension list has long ceased to be roll
of honor, truthtully remarks the
Blakely Observer.

of human suffering. 1t is only step
removed from insanity When sleep no
longer restores the exhausted nature, the
struggle with disease cannot last long.
