COUNTY commissioners
Give SIOO To FOUNTAIN
Drinking Place for Man and Beast in AIamogordo
Now Assured--Don't Delay Sending
in Your Subscription.
PROJECT IS ENDORSED BY LOCAL PRESS AND PULPIT

The board of county commits
sioners has rendered possible
the immediate building of the
pubic fountain by giving 800
70 the project. The commission
er, take the sensible view of the
matter that a place in Alamo
rordo where teams can be watered
is in reality more of a benefit to
those living out of town than to
the citizens of Alamogordo. As
conditions are at present,any one
coming to AlamogordO with
horse or a team cannot water the
animals without being under
obligations to some one for the
use of their hydrant in the yard
or corral. When the fountain is
completed those coming to town
may water their animals and
without the necessity of asking
permission. The fund now
amounts to 1904 and by next
Saturday, October 19,we sincere
ly hope to reach the $400 mark,
as that is the sum we have al
ways had in view as necessary
to carry out the scheme in a
manner that will be credit to
Alamogordo and the entire coun-
ty. We have been told that
there are several business men
of Alamogordo who would will
ingly contribute to the fountain
were they asked. The News
asks these same gentlemen now
to sign the subscription blank
printed in this issue and send it
in; don't wait for a personal soli-
citation, as, to be perfectly frank
about the matter, we feel that
the long suffering and willing
contributors of Alamogordo are
getting a little gun shy about
subscription papers being hand
ed around, and we claim just a
remnant Of modesty about rid
ing willing horse to death
Let's make this coming week
the final one and reach the $lO0
mark, build the fountain, forget
it, and go right after other much
needed Improvements.

INFORMAL CONVENTION
 OF ARIZONA StlERIFFS
A Navajo Indian Who too Seriously Regarded an Ancient Joke.

There was an informal convention of sheriffs in town yesterday, brought about wholly by accident. Nabor Pa checo of Pima was in town after wit nesses and Sheriff Thompson of Gila was returning from Mohave with a horse-thief. Sheriff Woods of Navajo had just come in with two convicts for the penitentiary. The aggregation was increased by Lieutenant Olds of the Rangers who was on his way from the northern part of the territory to Tomb stone where he has been called to court. For some time he has been in charge of the Ranger force of the north with headquarters at Prescott.
 But that was not all of the conven- tion. Sheriff Thompson was accompa nied by Deputy Sturgis and Sheriff Woods by Deputy Joe Knight.
 One of the convicts being conveyed by Sheriff Woods is a Navajo Indian sentenced for the murder of his moth- er-in-iaw, a tragic turn having been given to an old joke. Some one asked why the Indian had not pleaded justi liable homicide and have summoned other married men with mothers-in law as expert witnesses for the de-

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY. Of Special Value to Many Here in
 Phoenix.

One of the most notable discoveries and one that undoubtedly appeals more than anything else to people here in Phoenix is the combination of stomach remedies in the Mi-o-na treatment This prescription has worked wonders, and there is now no excuse for anyone suffering with in digestion or weak stomach. It acts specifically upon the muscles of the stomach and bowels, strength ening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten. It also increases the flow Of gastric juices, thus getting from the food the nour- ishment that is necessary for health and energy.
 The symptoms of indigestion are numerous, such as distress after eat ing, flatulence. heartburn, sick head aches, dizziness and durability. These are all dispelled by a few doses of Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent, but just as surely in long standing and chronic cases if the treatment is followed for a reasonable length of time.
 So positive are the good effects fol- lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by Larson Drug Co. under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it should fail to cure.

If she could have been sitting in the audience and seen herself, seated at the piano. playing and singing, l doubt if she would ever have anyone play for her in the future. The picture aside from the rendition of the song, was beautiful. Prof. Heinrich's work, both violin and vocal, as usual, charmed his hearers. Many will remember, with pleasure, his appearance her last win ter. His violin solos delighted his lis teners, particularly the ''Nocturne" by Field. The tones he drew from his in strument penetrated to the very soul of the nearer. He was recalled sev- eral times and finally, to satisfy the audience. he played, as an encore, the 'Intermezzo'N from Cavaliera Rusti- cana. His vocal numbers were very well chosen, and, in spite of the fact of a hoarseness which he was unable to overcome, he showed that he was a singer who understands how to sing" He is the possessor of a rich baritone voice which he has under per feet control. Due mostly to the work he did with his eminent father, Max Heinrich, last summer. His songs were all sung in an artistic and inter pretiye manner, and his enunciation is perfect, every word being as dis tinctly understood as if spoken
 Last but not least, Miss Rollins. the little pianist, is to be highly compli- mented upon her work Of the evening. Her two piano solos. were played in a very musically manner, as were also the accompaniments throughout the program. She was greatly handicapped however. owing to the old rattle etrap" of a piano furnished for the occasion. It was a disgrace and an insult to ask musician to perform on such an in strument. In fact all of the perform CTS could not appear at their best un- der the many disadvantages they had to contend with. In the first place, the acoustic properties of the hall are very bad. A tone. no matter how masterfully produced, would not carry one-quarter way across the auditorium. It is very evident that the place was

PHOENIX M0URNS
 BUT IS COMfORTtD
The Irremovable Smile is not SO Ex psnsive, but We Have Faith in Oul Chosen Idols.

Phoenix was baseball wild yesterday The interest in the game with Bisbee was at a fever pitch. Business men forgot business to hang about the bull letin boards waiting the latest news clerks stood outside asking everybody how it was going, bookkeepers stopped half way up the column of figures to listen to a report in the office The stands where bulletins were posted were kept busy answering inquiries from men, women and children. The Republicans phone bell was ringing almost necessarily last night.
 The feverish state of the fans was augmented by the word that in the fifth inning the score was Tucson I and Phoenix nothing. Young the Phoe- nix pitcher knocked out a home run tying the score. After that every ring of the phone caused sensations of sus- pense, hopelessness mingled with some foreboding, for there was something in the air about that time that made the fans look helplessly at each other and shake their heads The score was too close to be comfortable. The next report was in the seventh inning
 
 meat came that Bisbee had won by 4 to 1. it cast considerable gloom into the camp of the Phoenicians who re- gretted that their favorites had fallen into the enemys hands.
 Almost everyone wished to know how it was done but details were lack ing till late last night. Confidence is expressed that Phoenix will yet have a chance to wallop Bisbee either in play off a tie in the tournament at Tucson or at the territorial fair. Bisbee has one more game to play to equal the number played by the Browns, and in the event of the smelter nine losing one game and the Browns winning the next two, they will then be tied for first money. Bisbee has Hermosillo and Tucson to reckon with while Phoenix has Douglas. The game yes- terday between Douglas and Hermo- sillo tightens up the race. for it is pos sible that Douglas will be stronger than at the time shd was beaten by Bisbee. the score , to o. Phoenix put up a better game however yesterday than did Douglas against Bisbee Tue son is strengthening up and if she goes at it with a will there is no telling what turn of the tide, an error, an off day. the kindness of the gods, or what dust and give Phoenix another chance for the first money. Hope springs eternal in the baseball breast.

HEINRICH CONCERT
 A GRAND SUCCESS
A Large Number of Phoenicians At tended the Opening of the Musical Season at Tempe.

The grand concert, marking the opening of the musical season in Tenn pc, last Monday evening, was a rare treat to all those who attended. The participants. Prof. Karl G. Heinrich, baritone and violinist; Mrs. w. N. Tiff fany, lyric soprano; Mrs. Vivian Pal mer Hamilton, mezZo soprano and Miss Ramona Rollins, are all well known and popular Phoenix musicians. The program prepared for the occasion was the very finest ever heard here and every number was rendered in a highly artistic manner. Many were the flattering and complimentary re- marks expressed by the audience at the close of the program. The number which seemed to please most was the song with violin obligato Doris (Nevin) sung by Mrs. Tiffany with vio- lin obligato by Prof. Heinrich. Mrs. Tiffanys voice seemed to be at its best in this number. The beautiful violin Obligato was exquisitely played by Prof. Heinrich. During the rendition of this number the audience was spell bound and a pin might have been heard to drop. The two duets Hear Me Norma" (Bellim) and ''Ls, Seren- ata' CTostD were beautifully sung by Mesdames Tiffany and Hamilton.
 Both ladies sang number of solos which were all warmly applauded, the audience not being satisfied until they had responded with encores- Mrs. Hamilton sang as an encore 10 her numbers, the beautiful melody from the Bohemian Girl, 'I Dreamed That I Dwelt in Marble Halls" Mrs Tiffany responded with Coming Through the Rye" playing her own accompaniment.

fense. The sheriff replied that the killing had taken place without any provocation whatever. The Indian and his motherin-law had never had a quarrel; their relations had been the most amicable. Deputy Sturgis ob- served she must have been a freak and at the same time model raother-in law.
 Sheriff Woods said that domestic trouble among the Indians seldom or iginates with the mother-in-law who has a perfect knowledge of her place in the economy of the household. In this case the Indian returned to his tepee one day crazy drunk. He had it in him to kill somebody and the first person he met happened to be his mother-in-law. Like Jephthah he felt under an obligation to slay the first of his family who greeted him.

SEEKING FOR HIS
 LONG LOST UNCLE
Inmate of the California National Sol diers' Home Trying to Find an Aged Relative.

Calvin E. La Shelle. an old soldier. who lives at the National Soldiers Home, in California, has written the Phoenix postmaster a letter in which he says he will be very thankful to anybody who will write and give him the whereabouts or fate of William R. Sommers. his only uncle. He says that last February he sent posters all over the Pacific coast in the hope of learning something regarding his uncle. who went from Illinois to California in 1851 or 1852. and who. if still living is now IS or so years old. The only trace he ever got was in a letter writ, ten this month to him by Sheriff Sweeney of Tuolumne county, Cal, who resides in Sonora, Cal. The letter says: Some time ago l received a notice asking for information of one William R. Sommers or Bill Sommers. I posted the notice and today a man came in my office and said that he knew him well in Phoenix. Arizona, and had long talks with him in regard to his mining in different places. He was sure he was the same man. The last time he saw him was when he left Phoenix in search of some old exican topaz mines. supposed to be located in that country. That was four years ago. and this man said he stayed there some times after that. but Sommers did not return while he was there, and he never heard of him after he left"
 MT. La Shelle would like to have any person who may know Sommers write him and he also inquiries where the topaz mines are. thinking. no doubt. that some one ihere may know Som mers. The Republican has no line on the topaz mines and they are probably as mythical as the lost gold mines so many have been hunting for in years gone bv

Gov. Hughes Reception Tomorrow
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ALBANY. N. Y. December 31.-Rumors
which have been prevalent during the past

innovation in connection with the New
Year observances at the capitol, and
would do away with the reception always
held in the executive chamber for the
general public in the middle of the day,
were dissipated when directions were is
sued to the members of the governors
staff by Adit. Gen. Henry directing them
to report at the executive chamber at

O'Clock in the afternoon. ;
Orders had heretofore been issued to
the members of the military staff of the
governor. requesting them to report at the
executive mansion for the society and
general reception between and o'clock
and as no mention was made Of the mid
day function it was taken for granted
that the governor had decided that the
time honored custom of public reception
at the capitol should be discarded. es-
pecially as such functions are largely per-
functory In off years when no governor is
to be inaugurated.
