GRAND BALL OF THE
BORDER RIFLES.
The Boys Have Made Extensive Prep
arations for a Glorious Entertain
ment.

The armory. the home of the Border
Rifles, on the second floor of the Ainsa
building on East Overland street is
gorgeously decorated for the occasion
of the grand ball which the soldier
boys will give on the night of the 14th
ST. Valentines day.
The boys have gone to great deal
of expense to make their quarters in
viting to the lovers of the terpsicho-
rean art. Six hundred yards of bunt-
ing of the national colors, much fes-
looming and many flags have been ar
tistically arranged in the room. which
is a large. well-hoored one and will
give ample room for the dancers.
In the quartermaster's room there
will be served lunch and coffee and this
is free. The boys have shown their
willingness to do the right thing by
putting the price of admission for
couples to.S1 and giving a lunch free.
They have been having a struggle to
meet the rent and other expenses and
the ball is for the purpose OF helping
to do this. The company has proved
itself the best in the state and is some
thing of which Ell Paso should be proud
Money spent with them will be well
spent, and besides there is more dance
and lunch offered for a dollar than has
ever before been offered in FL Paso.

The entertainment given by the la

Daughters of Rebekah at the Myar op-

best home talent affairs ever seen in
Ell PaSo.
1t was a ladies' minstrel and every
member of the company lived in Ell
Paso. Many good local hits were made
and the house was in an uproar of
laughter from the rise of the curtain to
the final fall. Many old negro songs
were sprung and those who have lived
in Dixie were taken back 10 when the
little pickaninnies played in the hot
sun bare-headed and bare-footed
around the old home in Mississippi.
The audience was good sized and en-
joyed the entertainment to the full.
The ladies did themselves great credit
and proved that there was genuine tai
ent in Ell Paso.

CLOCK Needs Attention
Considerable complaint is heard from
citizens that the clock in the dome of

The clock was evidently purchased
by the county for the benefit of the
public but it has not been running of
late
Whether this is because it is out of
fix or simply not wound up is not
known but if the clock is broken no
doubt the county commissioners would
order it repaired is the matter was
brought to their attention

in several companies will be listed to-
morrow. Among those mentioned are
the Deming Mining and Milling. Caba-
Hero Onyx, Pass City Copper, New

to drift into a well organized mining
exchange.
