SUCCESS ASSURED.
Albuquerque Will Have Ell Paso's Co.
operation in Making Fair Great.
BASE BALL GUARANTEES RAISED.
From Ell Paso Herald.

From Ell Paso Herald.
Thos. Hughes, c. c. Hall and Frank
Hubbell, the Albuquerque fair boomers
VIII return home tonight. The guar
antee fund for a base ball team to rep
resent Ell Paso at the fair and to play
a series of games in this city after
the fair has been assured. Nearly all
the money has been subscribed and the
local committee told the fair commit
tee that they would not have to re-
main any longer, as the few remain
ing dollars would be subscribed at
once.
The visitors were delighted with the
result of their trip, and the hospitality
which has been shown them while here.
Mr.. Hughes runs a daily newspaper in
Albuquerque and declares that he shall
endeavor to repay the people of Ell
Paso for the interest they have taken
in the fair by whooping up Ell Paso's
carnival continuously until the carni-
val is held.
Various suggestions as to how the
ball games shall be managed have
been made. The Ell Paso committee in
charge of the, matter will consider
these propositions. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that If the weather is clear dur
ing the days when the games are to
be played in Ell Paso the subscribers
TO the guarantee will not be called up-
on to put up a dollar. but will have
something coming to them after the
expenses are paid.
Have just heard of two new fea-
lures for the fair" said Mr.. Hughes
this morning. col. Wilson has prom
ised me that he will be at the fair with
a battalion of cadets from the New,
Mexico military institute. The institute
is to have a brass band next session
and they will be there too. President
O'Rielly, of the association, received
inquiries from the gun clubs at Las We
gas, Deming, Fort Wingate and other
places in New Mexico and the south
west about the shooting tournament.
AS every sportsman has some particu-
lar fad we are going to provide special
amusement for those whose fad is
shooting. We will hang up handsome
prizes and good purses and in addition
to having the greatest fair west of
Kansas City we will have the biggest
shoot eve held in the southwest. We
hope to have all of the Ell Paso shots
with us on the days the tournament
will be held, If they can't stay to take
in the whole show. And, too, we have
a promise from Harry Alexander, of
the Rock Island. of a fine exhibit from
Otero county. There will be at least a
load of minerals and agricultural
products in this exhibit. Chaves coun-
ty will also have a magnificent ex-
hibit."

NOTHING WAS LOST.
An ON ission In a Wedding Ceremony
zt> That Didn't Count.

That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of the United
States navy once told this story on him
self:
( AT the time Of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had had
many narrowing experiences aboard
ship, through all of which he kept cour-
age and remained as calm as brave
man should. AS the time for the cere-
mony came on, however, his calmness
gradually gave way. At the altar, amid
the blaze Of brass buttons and gold
lace marking the full naval wedding,
] the officer was all but srampeded and
what went on there seemed very much
mixed to him. Fearing the excitement
of the moment would temporarily take
him off his feet, the officer had learned
the marriage ceremony letter perfect
as he thought, and he remembered re.
peating the words after the minister in
a mechanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including the Off
GERS state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched MIN
on the shoulder.
"Look here, old man." he said, "you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
"What's that?" asked the bridegroom,
with something of establishment in his
voice.
"Why, repeated the sentence with
all my worldly goods thee endow' sew
eral times and despite my efforts yor
would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed fol
a moment, and then a beaming light
came into his face.
"Never mind, sir" he said. ''Sht
didn't lose a blessed thing by my fail
ure."-Washington Star.

Potatoes.

No crop raised by the farmers last
season paid better than potatoes. 1t
does not follow that there will be as
large returns from them this year,
and yet their may be-no one can
forecast with any degree of certainty.
One thing, however, is sure-straight
varieties we'll cultivated will bring
much better price than mixed yarie-
ties of inferior quality and appear
ance. Last week l.. B. Branch dis
bursed over $4,000 in this city for pota-
toes shipped by him, and he would
have been glad to have had an oppor-
tunity to purchase many more. He
shipped 34OO bushels-not great
many in potato producing section,
but a goodly number here. A dealer
in the city said that he would put up a
warehouse specially for potatoes if he
had any assurance that enough would
be raised to warrant the expenditure.
Between Brainerd and St. Paul tens
OF thousands of dollars are paid an
nual)y to the farmers for this crop,
and money is made in producing.
In this vicinity there are soils peculi-
arly adapted to the growth of potatoes
far more so than any other crop.
Farmers would do we'll to investi-
gate and experiment, and with liberal
production there will be better local
market. 1t will cost no
more TO take in and dispose of twenty
five Or thirty loads day than it does
to handle half dozen. Diversity
your crops.

MYSTERY IN $4,000 ROBBERY.
Express Agent and Alleged Accom-
p1ice Arrested in Kentucky.

Express agent anu AIIeEeu ACCOM-
p1ice Arrested in Kentucky.
The alleged theft of $2S, 600 from the
agent of the American Express Com
pany at Fordsville, Ky, has resulted in
queer complication about which there
Is much mystery. j. w. Boatner, who
shipped the money to Fordsville, is I'M
der arrest at Iryington, and J. G. Schlitz-
baum, the agent of the company, is held
at Falls of Rough.
Several days ago a man giving his name
as j. w. Boatner of Memphis, Tenn,
appeared at the office Of the eX-
press company at Deanefeld, five miles
from Fordsyille and said he wished to
send $4,000 to the latter point. Boat
ner took a receipt for this sum, and then
the agent remembered that he was al
Owed to ship only $4,000 at one time, and
made Boatner take the cash back. Boat
ner kept the money until the other night,
when it was sent to Fordsville by ex-
press, where it arrived late the same
night The express agent, it is said, in
formed a number Of people that the
money had arrived. 1t was not put in
bank, as Boatner sent word that he would
be there early the next morning.
In the morning Schlitzbaum appeared
at Falls of Rough, ten miles away. lie
said he was held up, robbed and kidnap-
ed during the night. He first decided to
stay at the depot all night he says, but
5nally got nervous, and started to the
aotel, which is only one square away. Be
tween the two places he was set upon
and robbed of the money by three men.
The express people and the officers say
chat the whole affair was a conspiracy
70 defraud the American Express Com
pany out of $4,000.
Boatner has the express company's re-
.eipt for $4,000. When arrested the
money was not found on his person. Boat
aer refuses to give any history of him
self or his family other than that he
came from South America and that his
father gave him the $4,000, which he
had won on horse races.
