Early last week the cattle mar

1t has been long time since
we have seen such a rush to get
the corn gathered as this year.
Some of the early husking which
was little green must be fed
up as it is beginning to mold.
Ray Cochran husks IS bushels
of corn day easily and by a
little rushing can husk IFS
bushels and says he can husk
two ears while the champion
husks three.

Charles Hammond, residing

EASTER, APRIL Is.
Time for the Rabbits to Lay Eggs
Has Arrived.

Easter Sunday tomorrow, April
Is, and our feminine genders
will he out to show off their hats
and our masculine genders will
be out to look at the hats, and
the rabbits will lay their usual

will be up early to hunt eggs and
see the fun. Church goers will
go to the several places of wor-
ship and the day will be one Of
pleasure and spiritual blessing
if an Easter blow doesn't head it
all off. Last Easter was a cold
rainy day, and was a sore disap-
pointment to many Easter hats
and Easter expectations and an
ticipations. Easter has many
lovable attractions aside from its
religious significance. Easter
marks the turning pointof winter

MOTHER AND CHILD REUNITED
After Twenty three Years of Sep
'aratiOn and Neither Knowing the
WhsfeabOuts Of the Other.

Monday of this week Mrs. S.
Z. Pelphrey returned to Alamo
gordo from her visit to Haskell,
Texas, bringing with her a son
whom she thought was dead for
about % years. Some few days
ago Mrs. Pelphrey received word
from relative that her son,
Judson Wright, was very sick
and to come. The surprised
mother took the first train for
Texas and was soon by the side
of her son who was snatched
from her arms by a drunkened
father when the child was near
3 years old. From that time to
the date Mrs. Pelphrey received
word to come to Texas she did
not know where her child was
and had long since thought him
dead. The child was taken to
east Texas by the father where
they lived till the death of the
father at the time the son was
IA years old. A num- ber of years
ago the then Mrs. Wright be-
came the wife Of 5. Z. Pelphrey.
A baby child was left her by
Wright who has ever been known
since her marriage to Mr.. Pei
phrey as Will Pelphrey, and the
two brothers knew nothing of
each other until this discovery,
having been separated when one
was 3 years of age and the other,
Will, an infant.
This real story of romance is
indeed one of interest to Mrs.
Pelphrey and her people, and
only mothers love can feel
the joy of appreciation at the
happy reunion and the ending of
long years of separation and sus-
pense.

GRADUATING EXERCISES
Two to Graduate at This Term of
School.

There are two graduates at
this term of the Alamogordo
public school, Mr.. Josh Sauls-
berry and Miss Millie Rich. On
Sunday, April %, at IL a. M. at
the Baptist church DIR. A. P.
Morrison will preach the COM
mencement sermon, and at night
another sermon will be preached
on educational lines by Rev.
Jno. Meeker of the Presbyterian
church, and on Monday night
Prof. G. p. Putnam of Ell Paso
will deliver an address, Our
Public Schools, "and the di-
plomas will be presented to the
graduates. All of these exer-
cises are to take place at the
Baptist church because of that
church being centrally located
and having the largest seating
capacity.
Prof. Pepper desires that as
many of the school patrons as
possible attend these exercises.
Prof. Pepper feels that the term
now closing has been one of pro-
fit and Advancement. He feels
that the school is in position to
show for itself the work accom-
pllshed, and though several of
the teachers have been badly
crowded with students yet on
the whole good work has been
done.
Alamogordo needs o larger
public school building, or an an
mex. Say, another building of
four good sized rooms with a
large overhead school auditorium
would suffice for some time to
come and would benefit the
patrons of the school wonderful
ly. One of the surest ways and
in reality one of the first things
to do to hold UP Alamogordo is
to make Alamogordo an educa-
tional point and this can be done
more easily than anything else.
Make Alamogordo a place of
schools and extra educational
opportunities and the storms of
business reverse can not shake
our foundation as we will be
builded as house upon a rock
of security.
Let us commence now to ar
range for next term of school
and to arrange it so that We can
advertise to the world that Ala
mogordo is q place of superior
school facilities.

ATTENTION SCHOOL BOARD
Territorial Superintendent Hiram
Hadley Would Have the
Laws Enforced,
To county Superintendent.

To county superintendent.
Gentlemen:-Very briefly, |
call your attention to a few points
Through you, | hope to reach the
interested parties.
Poll Tax.-See sections 1540-
1901. That law is a good and
reasonable one. 1t is meant to
be enforced. 1t is easily en-
forced, if the clerks of the vari-
Gus boards of directors will per-
form their duties. There are pro-
badly 10000 registered voters in
the territory. After making due
allowance for those who are not
"able bodied" and for paupers,
the poll tax should yield the
school fund not less than 500, 900,
| a fund sufficient to extend every
school in the territory thirty
three days.
Again. Read the middle of
section 1892. Among other
things you read: ''These direc-
tors shall file an oath that they
will faithfully perform the duties
of their office" TO collect the
poll tax is a special duty. In
case any clerk refuses to perform
his duty if you cannot reach him
legally, please report him to this
office, and / promise to exhaust
legal powers in trying to have
some one put in his place that
will attend to the business. II
clerks Of boards try to collect
this tax and meet those who
ought to pay but refuse, my ad-
vice is, to be reasonable with
them, explain the law and its
purpose, and yoam duty. II they
still refuse, follow the law and
sue them promptly. Be parti.
cular about this if it be one Of

sufferers by the eruption, and
the government is exerting itself
for the relief Of the destitute,
the king and queen and their
suites airing in Naples this
morning from Rome. Whe the
royal train reached the station
the eruption of the volcano was
almost at its worst, but both in
sisted on leaving at once fol
Tore Annunziata.
Naples, April 1.-THE erup-
tiOn of Vesuvius increased dur.
ing last night and a coating OF
ashes and cinders to depth OF
four inches covers the ground
and roofs today. The railroad
service out of the city has been
interrupted, the engineers re-
fusing to take out their trains
because of the darkness, caused
by the heavy fall of ashes.
1t is no longer possible to reach
points which have suffered the
most severely. Even the soldiers
detailed to guard Ottajano have
been recalled and the town left
on its fate. The military has
earned the gratitude and admir-
alton of the people by their de-
vOtion to duty. Not only are
they credited with many acts of
heroism, but they have display
ed untiring perseverance in
searching for the living and dead
among the tottering walls, as
sisting the fugatives to reach
places Of safety, giving aid to
the wounded and burying the
dead and all this while partly
suffocated by the ash and cinder-
laden wind blowing from the
volcano. Especial praise is also
due the Duke and Duchess of
Aosta.
According to the Mattine fifty
houses, three churches and a
municipal building at Somma
have collapsed, the sand and
cinders being six feet deep there
and all the inhabitants have
fled. Houses in Ottoiano arc
still collapsing and most Of the
towns and villages in that neigh
borhood are tottering or are in
ruins.
Employees of the tobacco fac
tory fled in panic this morning,
fearing the roof was about to fall
i'll. Many were injured.
The wheels of the street cars
generate flames through friction,
showing the great amount of
sulphur in the ashes.
