Considerable uneasinees is being
felt by the fellows who have beeu

many weeks since the word was passed

The fact Is that there are not enough

The populists and democrats of Fin
ney county have ind dorsed E. j. West
gate. of that coun4y, for state auditor.
This suggestion meets with general
approval in this part of the state as
he is emf nently qualified for the posi-
ton, both by natural ability and bus
ness experience. He is of exception
ally good address and appearance,
aud is recognized as one of the ablest
politicians in this part of the state
Prior to going to Garden City, where
he has offieiated as clerk of the appel
late court since the organization of
that tribunal, he was district clerk
of Stafford county for two terms, fill
ing the Office to the complete satisfac-
ton of all parties. The nomination
of Frank Grimes showed how the peo-

fall to Mr.. Westgate We can not doubt
that the wisdom of the choice would
be demonstrated at the polls.

Where Would Tesr,s Stand7

I wish that the following quotations
from Socialism frogs Genesis to Rev
eiation" could be read in connection
with the article in year last issue en-
titled, 'What Wouid4 Jesus Do?',':
1T is coming more and more into
the the thought of men that Christ is
the saviour of the world-of the world
in the fullest sense. His true mission
was not only to give men felicity in
heaven, but "peace on earth" While
anans future is of paramount import
ance, He made ''the life that now is"
of Immediate and immense concern.
His precepts touch and determine
all human relations. He is the Saw
iour of the world. socially, politically,
economically. His gospel would not
be good news if it justified social and
industrial conditions that wreck mul-
titudes in this world in the hope that
they might be picked NY on the shore
of the next.
'tLet us have done with that concep-
tion OF Christianity which eliminates
Christ from all connection with capi-
tai, labor, wages, and. all other social,
industrial and political affairs in
which men live. move and have their
being. Page 164.
''Ihe Christian scriptures have so
much to say respecting capital and
labor and all social fel atiOns, and the
existing struggle is so bitter. and it's
issues SO important. that religious
teachers can no longer be Indifferent
or silent. page 44S.
''lf men can not serve both God and

A Strong Editorial Against
The Proposed Senate
Currency Bill.
DOUBLE LEADBD TYPE

Cry" The National

NEW YORK, Jan, 9.-The Sun, re-
cognized as the personal administra-
tion organ of the country, sprang a
sensation this morning when it printed
in double loaded type an editorial op-
posing the currency bill which has
been prepared by the republicans in
the senate. The editorial is headed ::
"Let the national banks CO." and it
handles the republican currency
scheme without gloves.
The Sun says "the debt refunding
scheme which the senate finance COM
mittee has attached to the house cur
rency bill Is avowedly intended for the
benefit of national banks. It proposes
to create $3.50, 600, 900 Of , per cent 30

"By the provisions of the national

currency, but undertakes directly,

deem it's notes at once, selling the
bonds afterward to reimburse ITSELF"

THE FIGHT TONIGHT
MC6oVern Still the Favorite Among
the Betting Men OF the Metrop-

NEW YORK, Jao. g. George Dixon,
and Terry McGovern, the recognized
cham picn of his class, who are to meet
in twenty-five round contest at the
Broadway Athletic club tonight, are in
EXCELLENT condition.
The fact that these two clever aud
stirred up vast amount of interest
among sporting men in Greater New
York, and i is expected
that big crowd will be
on hand to see the bout. Nc
Govern, for more than year, has been
looked upon as the best man of his
class in the country, but Dixon appears
confident of his ability to hold his own
with him, and there is every indication
that the fight between them will be
one of the fastest ever seen between
boys of their weight in this country.
In McGovern Dixon will meet the
fastest little fighter be has ever tackled.
and as the South Brooklyn lad is
terrific fighter with both hands, the
colored boy will have to do come of his
most clever work in order to gain the
decision.
McGovern is the favorite in the
betting, fact which is due to the pre-
vsiling impression among the ring
critics that Dixon has been on the
down grade of late. According 10 the
statement of Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's
manager, tonight's fight will be the
colored boys last, win or lose.
THE SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2:30 p. n.-The
purse tonight will be one-half of the
gate receipts, the winner to take IS
per cent and the loser 25 per cent.
The men will box according to the
Queensberry rules and will weigh in at
11S pounds at O'Clock this afternoon.
The battle has occasioned more in
terest than any contest slnce!the Fitz-
simmons-J effries mill. The out of
town crowds are enormous and the no.
tells and cafes are congested with sports
discussing the outcome.
McGovern still rules at odds, and was
the favorite this morning a. 10 to 7,
though Dixon money is appearing in
large punches and many wagers are
being made.

THE FIRST PIG


paso Was Turned Out Today
What this Means In an lndustrl-
al Way To the City.
The HERALD hss an important an
nouncement to make today and one
which will undoubtedly affect in q ia
vorable way the industrial future of
Ell Paso.
There was turned out today at man
ufscturing institution in this city the
first pig of iron ever manufactured in
Ell Paso.
You may quote me as authority for
the statement said ]. A. Eddy this
afternoon, "that this is the forerunner
of an industry which will excel all
other industries now in existence in
Ell Paso both in extent and in impor-
tance."
The iron ore came from the Jarillas
where the prospects for the output
OF this ore are simply magnificent,
and undoubtedly in time, and in q
short time, vast quantities of ore will
be brought down from there to be con-
verted into bar and pig iron In this
city.

SEVERAL UNPAID BILLS
Altogether Some $500 Are
Owing His Creditors; Os-
tensibIy Left To Meet
His Wife.

Jack Grant. who has been run
ming the Creamery restaurant
on San Francisco street, Left
El Paso Saturday night ostensibly to
meet his wife at Sierra Blanca, and he
has not yet returned. He owes some
thing like 500 in Ell Psso, and the
people he owes do not expect him to
return.
The Creamery restaurant has closed
down temporarily, and is not serving
dinner today.
Grant is young fellow Of pleasant
address who came here from Birming-
ham, Ala, some thing over year ago,
and who has worked for the Pioneer
Grocery company, and for Benham.
He made good grocery clerk, and his
success inspired him to start in busi-
ness for himsif.
About the first of September Harry
Dietz, who was then running the
Creamery, found himself compelled to
turn it over to George Parker, who is
connected with Nations meat market,
and who held mortgage on the fix
lures, etc.
Grant saw in this place his opportuni-
ty, and took over the place, giving
Parker q mortgage for $500.
For while business seemed to pros
per, and a close attention to deta IL
would have seen him clear of DEBT {
now.
AS it is balance of but 1925 remains
unpaid on the mortgage.
"Grant promised to pay 5000 of tn is
on Jan. TO-" said Mr.. Parker this
morning, "and only Saturday he showed
me telegram from his home show ing
that the money was on the way. How
ever, he received the money on that
very day, and, borrowing $500 more
from his brother, he got .toget her 5000
in all, and left town.
Grants ostensible destination was
Sierra Blanca. He went out on the
G. H., with the avowed intention of
meeting his wife there.
People who were on the train say
that he met his wife, and that they laid
over, and took the T. & P. for St.
Louis, and that he is in that city now.
On the day that he left he gave to
his brother a bill of sale to the fixtures
in consideration of the $500 he owed
him, but this bill of sale is not good,
because the mortgage to Parker takes
precedence.
Grant owes the Pioneer Grocery
company about S27; Price Bros. $50;
Berry's mea.market q small sum, and
the Ell Psso Dairy company for milk
this month.
Altogether he owes about s7Oo.in the
city.
Although the Creamery restaurant
is closed down today, Mr.. Parker says
he will have it reopened tomorrow, and
that business will be conducted as
usual. He is arranging with q man
ager this afternoon.
"The trouble with Jack, +" said q man
who knew Grant we'll, this morning,

to business, and that he hal too good

knowledge Of Her Daughters
Unhappiness Killed Mrs.
HarCOurt
MRS. LONGS CONDITION
SO Preyed On Her Mother
That She Died In Gin
cinnati Last FRI
day

A sad echo of deplorable state of
domestic affairs brought to light by
the fling of q suit in this city, comes
from Cincinnati in the announcement of
the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Harcourt
on last Thursday.
Mrs. Harcourt was the mother of
Mrs. Walter Long, and it was the pain
full realization of her daughters un-
happy life which caused her death last
week.
Full mention was made in the HER
AID at the time of the fling of the
suit of Mrs. Long in the district court.
The story in brief is this: One and
one half years ago Miss Reba Harcourt
was the belle of Tusculum. Her moth
er was prominent club woman and an
official in most of the fashionable clubs
of that portion of Cincinnati. Her
daughter Reba was very beautiful and
her admirers we're legion. Her future
was bright, for her social victories
were sweeping. The one who won her
favor, however, was fated to be the one
who should disappoint and pain her.
Walter Long was chosen by the young
lady as her husband.
Mr.. Long was bookkeepar for the
Burton-Lingo Lumber, company. of
this city. The wedding was one of the
smartest that eyer occurred in Tuscu-
lum, and WAS the reiRning society
event of that day. The happy couple
came to El Paso to live.
On the 1st of last month Reba found
that che had been deserted by her hus-
band. For several days she brooded
over her troubles. saying nothing to
anybody about the matter. In the
meantime she discovered. according to
her petition filed later, that Mrs. r. G.
Perry, alias Mrs. Robert T. Stillman,'
who boarded at the same house, was
the cause of the abandonment, and
Mrs. Long, on December % last, fled
suit for SIS, 900 against the Perry wom-
an for the alienation.of her husband's g
affections.
Dr.. T. J. Harcourt, the father of Mrs.
Long, is man we'll known in G. A. r.
circles of Cincinnatsi, and "a soldier
who served with distinction during the
civil war.
AS soon as he heard of his dauehter's
troubles he came on to Ell Paso, and
early last week they lett together for
the east over the G. 81.
Mrs. Harcourt, in the meantime, had
heard of the troubles of her daughter,
and the knowledge had so shocked her
that a stroke of paralysis followed, and
when the father and his unhappy child
reached Cincinnati Wednesday night,
it was to find the wife and mother
dying.
THE FATAL STROKE.
Physicians were called, but could do
little. Then followed her death Thurs
day morning.
The meeting of the stricken mother,
the wronged daughter and the sorrow
ing father, according to the Cincinu ati
Enquirer: was one beyond the power of
pen to describe. The depth of the
family's woe was deepened further
when the son arrived yesterday, too
late to say good-by in life to his dy ing
mother. The gloom that oppressed
the unfortunate Harcourts has spread
over the pretty little suburb in wi b ich
they live, and all unite in sympsth etic
mourning with the afflicted ones. Mrs.
Harcourt was in the ffty-eighty year
of her age.
