The boards Of registration ap.
pointed at recent meeting OF the
city council to register the voters
tor the ensuing city election were
in session for the FIRST time yester
day. and will probably be in ses-
sion for several days. II you de-
sire to vote on April 9TH, it is alb
solutely necessary that your name
be placed on the registration list.
The best way to insure your right
vote is to attend to the matter OF
registration yourself. The boards
will be in session on the 74th and
3Ist instant, and also on the day
preceding election. On the last
day, however. it is necessary to
have two witnesses to swear to the
fact that you are legally quail
fed elector, and to avoid this
unnecessary trouble register early.
The places Of registration and the
members OF the board, who also
act as judges Of election, are Is
follows: =
First ward-Residence of X. N.
Kirkpatrick, Ration avenue; Judges,
H. S. Shull, c. w. Wonderly,
Charles hasten
Second ward-Office Of Judge
Russell. Santa Fe avenue; judges,
j. B. Sherman, !. G. Howard. S.
b. Miller. :
Third ward = Leland Hotel.
Trinidad plaza; judges, ]. w,
Warner, S. w. Brown. v. Albesa.
The wards are divided - follows:
First wavd-From the east side o(
Ration avenue to the csty limits
on the east; second ward, from the
west side Of Ration avenue o the
east side Of San Juan avenue;
third yard, fson the west side q
San Juan avenue to the city limits

The fact that Treasurer Beer
bohm is almost swamped with
m oney and checks in payment OF
taxes indicates that Otero county
Is in a healthy financial condition.
Money never before flowed Sc
freely into the treasurer's Office.
As soon as the rush let's up little
Treasurer Beerbohm will take up
the matter OF the collection OF the

The Rocky Ford Enterprise
says: ITO be eligible to vote a,
the April election you must have
iiven in the state one year. in the
county thirty days and in the ward
ten days" That may go in the
sugar beet metropolis. but It don't
go here In La unta we hold our
elections according to the law in
such cases made and provided.
which reads as tollaws: "You
shall have resided in this state six
months Immediately preceding the
election at which you offer to vote;
IN the county ninety days, and in
ward or precinct ten days" With
these few discrepancies the item
quoted above is correct This
seems to be a case of where the
editor don't know everything.
"ro err is human"-and even an
editor IS sometimes built that way.
La Junta tribune., 1903-03-18

THERk is q very well defined
issue in the city election campaign
in Rocky Ford. They have q
Business Mems Ticket and No.
License Ticket, with business men
on both tickets. The FIRST named
ticket stands for claw enforce
meot"-a rather doubtful quantity;
the platform Of the second named
declares that .'no saloon license
will be granted to any person OF
pessess." which i plain, painfully
plsis. Il is reported that the anti
s.lo1a seasiment is very strong in
Roe4y Ford. and that Il is very
eeobable that the ''No- License
ticket will win out. Two saloon

offered to killed of a mob at La

prisoner from him by intimidation

dangerous and must not interfere
with the established law Of the
land. II is mighty seldom that an
occasion arises when public opin

The editor went to church last
Sunday night. This was his FIRST
ohense Tor long time. and the
experience was not very encour-
aging one IN some respects. We
enjoy listening to an interesting
sermon. but on this occasion we
were somewhat handicapped. Two
young ladies'. aged about sweet
sixteen or theresbouts. occupied
the seat in front OF US, They we're
adorned with hesdgear about one
yard square and had evidently come
to church to have a good time.
They had much to say to each
other. their heads bobbiug to.
eether about every thirty seconds,
and then bobbing out again. Ye
scribe wore his, ,rubberneck nearly
out trying to keep line on the
preacher and then finally gave up
in despair. We had to buy fifty
cents worth OF pain balm to get
the crick Out OF our neck the next
day. and that's rather expensive
for a heather who is looking for
light. II the young folks want to
have good time and chew the
rag why don't they stay at home
and not make public exhibition
OF themselves. Some people 60
to church with good intentions,
and others 60 to church who new
er ought to 20 there at all.

HOMESlCK CADETS.
The New Man at West Point and tn,
Pangs of Nostalgia.


The new man at West Point has one
misfortune to endure throughout the
first few weeks of his course-he must
suffer. the pangs of homesickness. He
has entered upon a course of disci-
pline quite unlike anything in his ex-
perience. Every act of his daily life
is regulated by an inflexible system.
He has no friend at hand: the word
sympathy seems to be unknown.
Older cadets look on, understand, pity,
but give no sign. II. Irving Hancock
says In Life at West Point"
1t is common sight for a cadet cor
poral, going into the room Of "plebe,"
to find him seated at his table, pen in
hand sand sheet Of paper before him,
staring blankly at the paper or the
wall. The cadet corporal takes in the
scene before him.
"H0mesick, mister?" he asks.
"Yes, sirv' replies the plebe, looking
shamefaced.
"Suie sign a new mans homesick
when he's caught at study table writ
ing his resignation" rejoins the cor
poral composedly.
the cadet corporal is such a mind read
er, fushes, looks at the sheet before
him and slowly tears it up.
'"That's rightv' says the corporal.
Then, with a momentary touch of SYM
pathy, he goes on: Don't get down
in the mouth, mister. I've been
through the nostalgia drill myself.
It's tough on you, but when you've
been here a little while there's no in
ducement on earth that could make
you leave of your own choice. Brace
up! Homesickness hits 'em all at
first
Then the corporal glances about and
falls at once into the brusque tone Of
the Instructor.
"See here. mister" he remarks,
policing i~' le of the most important
duties Of t. soldier. Your shoe brush
is out of place. Haven't l told you
where it belongs? And you cap is on
your bed. Now, mister"-
So he goes on with a list Of criti-
cisms which at once reduce life to a
practical level The plebe has enough
to do for the next half hour in "tidy-
ing up," and at the end of that time
he is not tempted to resume his letter.
At least. he puts it off for one day
more.

Facts
Medicine

elf your Vinol is such wonder
full stuff, what's the need of harp
ing about it so much in the paper.
A remark heard In our store.
We answer: We advertise Vnol
because we have found it a good
thing.
We advertise Vinol under our
own name and with our own guar
antee, because it is different from
the twenty medicines my friend
alluded to. For instance, it is not
a secret preparation. 1t is endorsed
by physicians. 1t has surprising
record of cures right here in town.
1t has our absolute guarantee of
money back if you are not helped
We advertise Vinol to increaseits
usefulness. We may repeat, but
we remember that the great Sena-
tor Benton said, "Ding-dong is the
most effective argument" meaning
that you have to say thing a good
many times before you can get
people to believe it.
Sowewant to say once more that
we believe Vinol will do effective
work in ninety-eight cases out of
one hundred of debility, nervous
ness, insomnia, bronchitis, hacking
cough, lung troubles, and the
obscure troubles of irritable and
fretful men and women.

The Wax Insect.

Trees afford the birthplace and era
die of the wax insect, scientifically
called Cossus pela. In the early spring
the bark of the bOughs and twigs be-
comes covered with brown pea shaped
scales, which can be easily detached
and which, when opened, reveal the
flowery looking mass Of minute ami
mails. whose movements can just be
detected by the naked eye. In May
and June, however, the scales are
found to contain a swarm of brown
creatures with six legs and two an
tenna each. Some of the scales also
contain the white bag or cocoon of
small black beetle, which, if left undis-
turbed, burrows into and consumes
the scales The Chinese say that this
beetle eats the little wax insects, and it
appears certainly the case that where
the parasite is most abundant the
scales fetch Il lower price in the mar
ket.-Chambers' Journal.

There may be no question what
ever about your courage, but well
undertake to say that, though
you are as brave as a lion, you
won't want to have anything to
do with that kind of a fray.
Trousers and tatters don't make
just the kind of a combination
that you are hankering after, do
they? Purchasers of Suits or
Trousers will have the advantage
of our Marx Down Prices, and
will not be bothered with any
thing of the sort. They are just
as safe from it as though they
had paid-up policy of insurance
against any such kind of un-
pleasantness. If our Suits give
you any hankering at all, they
will give you an ungovernable
hankerning for another one just
like it.
