Ob.truction of Streets.

Mayor Teague will earn the grati- tude of a great many citizens, said a business man, If he clears the greatly obstructed streets of Montgomery as observe he intends doing.
 Tt has been ccntended that the streets are obstructed by our two cnlef industries-cotton and horse and mule tra de-and I would not bear down on these industries. But no sane reason can be put forward to sustain the ar gument that cotton dealers ana the men who are interested in horses and mules should be shown more favor py the clty government than other eltizens ana other business interests.
 'The conditions of portions or Wash- ington Street, Lee Street, Montgomery Street, Coosa Street and other thor oughfares have long been a disgrace to the city and the Mayor has struck a popular chord in announcing that these business people must make ar arrangements to clear the streets
 T have seen the time when certain streets were almost impossible. Liv- erymen, in particular. have shown lit- tie regard for the rights of other cit izens in obstructing the streets in front of their places. They fill the streets with vehicles and claim that they haven't room on the inside of their buildings and that they cannot rent room down town. If this Is a fact, it seems to me the liverymen and horse dealers should move their places to a section where they can find accommo- dations. They do not use the streets in other cities like they do in Montgom- cry"

A Song of the Past

Gro Mrs. E. B.) I'll sing you a song of the dear dead song that is really a sigh. When childhoods dreams were too

MAY HE A BLESSING.

In some respects, at least, the late epidemic of yellow fever will prove a blessing, not only to the South. but to the country at large, for it has taught more about the disease than had been learned in all the centuries that have elapsed since it was first heard of . Heretofore, yellow fever has been one f of the least understood of all human ailments. Medical men were not only at sea, but were at cross purposes with each other. They knew neither how it originated nor how it was communi- cated. According to most of the old theories, 1t could be communicated by personal contact, by clothing, by the air and in almost every other inagin- able way. Because no one knew how it was carried, they did not know how to confine 1t or guard against it. and because. of this. want of knowledge, much hardship and injustice have re- suited.
 Since it has been established practi- cally beyond doubt that the mosquito theory is correct; that it is in fact the 
 spread, there will be an almost entire and radical revolution in handling epi- denies of this fever. and among the good results will be an almost entire abandonment of the expensive and sometimes brutal quarantine systems which have done so much harm in the past. Not that 1t will not be necessary to have quarantines, but with the knowledge won in recent times the quarantines will be logical, fair and unoppressiye. Knowing how the fever is communicated, the authorities will know how to control it, and to guard against it as they have never known in the past. and it will be done in such manner that humanity will not be out ragged and medical science put to shame. We often read of blessings in disguise, but 1t really seems that the epidemic which is now drawing to a close will turn gut that kind of visitation.

ATTORNEY II. M. DOUGHERTY
Initiates the IllustNous Example of
Grover the Ponderous and Goes
q Fishing.

The many friends of Attorney
II. NJ. Dougherty will be deeply
grieved to learn of a grave mis-
fortune which recently befell that
gentleman at Redondo Beach
near Los Angeles, California.
Mr.. Dougherty is still compara-
lively a young man whose rapid
rise in his chosen profession of
law has been the admiration and
the delight of circle of friends
that is by no means confined to
Socorro county. At the time
when the misfortune referred to
befell Mr.. Dougherty, he and Mrs.
Dougherty were seeking rest and
recreation at Redondo. In fact,
they are still there in the best of
health and spirits. But that is
not the point. One morning
when the wild waves were saying
all sorts of such alluring things
as only the wild waves can say,
Mr.. Dougherty followed the il
lustrious example of democracy's
one-time patron saint, Grover the
Ponderous, and went a fishing
Not only did Mr.. Dougherty go
fishing but he actually jeopar-
dized his long established repu-
tation for truth and veracity by
writing a Socorro friend a glow
ing account of the great number
and the great size of the fish he
caught. How a man of Mr..
Dougherty's experience and skill
in extracting the exact truth
from a witness whose excited
,, imagination has gotten the bet
ter of his sober judgment could
commit so rash an act is a mys-
terry which he will have abund-
ant opportunity to explain when
he returns to Socorro. OF course
Mr.. Dougherty did not expect
his fish stories to reach the ears
of the Chieftain, but he should
have known that the ears-no,
the eyes of the press are every
where, and that not even his
widest imaginings could escape
their scrutinizing gaze. Mr..
Dougherty's friends are anxious
ly awaiting his return to Socorro,
hoping that his misfortune is one
of the things which are not what
they seem, and willing to do
what they can to restore him to
the confidence of his large and
growing clientage.

800 Reward, 800.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hun
dred dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

REFUND CITY'S BONDS
There Appears to Be No Reason
Why the Thing Could Not
be Done and
SAVE THE CITY $l,I4O ANNUALLY
BY Reducing the Rate of Interest
Paid ON the city's Bonds to
Four Per Cent.

Why not refund Socorro's in
debtedness at lower rate of in
terest! Every tax payer in the
city knows that there is urgent
need of such action, and even il
there were no such need it would
be unbusiness-like to pay a
higher rate of interest than
necessary. The city'S bonds of
various kinds now bear interest
at the rate of six per cent. 1t is
probable that the same amount
OF money could now be borrowed
at four per cent. There seems
to be no reason, therefore, why
the city's expense and consequent
ly its rate of taxation should not
be very materially reduced.
The city's Indebtedness may
now be placed in this form:
Water bonds, $50, 900; school
bonds, $4,000; funded indebted
ness of 1897, S12, 900; total, $751;
900. AS all these bonds bear six
per cent, the city pays So, ,42O
each year in the form of interest.
A reduction of two per cent
in the rate would result in a
saving of Sl,14O a year in the
amount of taxes to be raised to
pay the interest on the city's
bonds. Is it worth while? Ger
tainly no tax payer will demand
any proof further than this bare
statement of the case that it is at
least worth while to try.
The Chieftain has taken the
liberty of urging this matter
upon the attention of the city
authorities and is pleased to
state that its presentation cG the
case has aroused considerable in
terest in the minds not only of
the authorities but of private
citizens as well. The action of
the city council is now awaited.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Now Reorganized and in Condition
to Accomplish Much Good
for the City,
AT HOME. A. D. COONS BUILDING
Makes a Substantial Donation 70
Complete the Walk to the Santa
Fs Station.

The Socorro commercial club
has recently been reorganized and
is now IN condition to accomplish
some substantial and lasting good
for the city. As a proof of this
statement IT may be said that the
clubs membership now comprises
majority of SOcorro's progress
sive business men. The organi-
zation will soon be at home in A.
ID. Coon's building on lower Man
zanares avenue. There will prob
ably be formal house warming
when the rooms are ready for oc-
cupancy. These rooms will be
comfortably furnished and will
be supplied with club stationery,
periodicals. means of amuse-
ment, etc.
The spirit in which the COM
mercial club purposes to operate
is exemplied by the fact that
when it recently became known
that the ladies of the city im-
provement association were short
of funds with which to complete
the building of the walk to the
Santa Fe station each member of
the club cheerfully paid an as
sessment to make up a substan-
tial donation to complete the
walk. This donation was at
4 1 - IN
Brown, president of the associa-
ton, who expressed in behalf of
the organization over which she
presides every assurance of hear
ty appreciation and gratitude.
Other evidence of the spirit of
Socorro's commercial club will be
manifest in due time.
