One evidence of this is the growing
custom, SO common In the southern

The first intimation one usually re-

result Of an enthusiastic and determin-

of a native youngster to blow his

Mayor G. A. Richardson last night
received a telegram from Ed Ken1e-
dy, president and promoter of the AL
tus, Roswell and Ell Paso railroad,
sent from Altus, Oklahoma, stating
that he would be in Roswell with a
party of fifteen engineers Saturday
night, and that work would be com.
menced on the survey Immediately.
The engineers will work east from
Roswell toward Lubbock, Texas. This
will mark the beginning of actual op-
erations on RoswelFs new railroad.
From authentic sources it has been
learned that Mr.. Kennedy has let the
contract for the ties and steel for
the track west from Altus to the Den.
yer road, seventy miles. The work OF
construction on that end of the road
is now in progress.
An engineering corps is now sur
veying tle route west from Hollis,
Texas, and another corps is now sta
toned at Lubbock. A contractor who
will do the actual construction on
that section of the road, is also at
Lubbock.

Many Roswell people were awaken
ed at midnight Hast night and again
early this morning by the firing OF
what seemed to be heavy artillery.
1t was the anvils of Roswell Mexicans,
who were celebrating the anniversary
of the Mexican Declaration of indie
pendence from the rule of Spain in
1910, which eliminated in the estab-
lfshment of the political liberty of the
republic in 1921.
The real celebration of the day
was held later in the Frank Easton
grove, in the southeast corner of the
city, where the railroad makes a cor
ner with the Hondo river. Here an
immense platform was built, with
stage and seating accommodations.
The stage was appropriately decorat-
ed with Mexican and American flags,
one side being reserved for the red,
white and green, and the other for
the red, white and blue. Additional
to the decorations of bunting were
the dresses of many young women, all
in the colors of the day, and the ma
ny badges worn by both men and wo-
men increased the vivid hue of the
scene. High above all were the pic
lures of George Washington and Mig
guel Hidalgo Y Costil1a, the fathers
of their countries, and of Belito Jua
reg and William Mckinley, later day
heroes in their respective lands.
The morning program consisted of
music by the orchestra and national
patriotic songs by the young ladies'
At noon an immense barbecue dinner
was served, big crowd partaking,
and many Americans joining their
Mexican friends at the feast.
The afternoon program consisted
of patriotic demonstrations and
scenes, carried out by young men and
women in costume; also of songs,
orations and instrumental music. May
or G. A. Richardson delivered the
address of the day.
Tonight at 1880 comes the grand
finale and ball, which will be an ev

APOLLO CLUB WILL GIVE
CONCERT OCTOBER 2

The management of the Apollo
Club announces that the organization
will give a concert on the night of
October 2. The Clubs achievement
in this line last spring is all the guar
anty needed as an advertisement to
insure a large attendance. However,
the Club has secured another feature
for the coming event which will in
crease interest in the concert and
improve the program. The Club has
secured Arthur Middleton, of Chica-
go, the foremost basso in America.
1t will pay the Club to engage the
largest auditorium in Roswell for the
occasion, for all the space available
will be filled.

NINE DEATHS FROM
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

'Sedalia, Mo-, Sept. 1.-two addi-
tional deaths occurred this morning
as result of the explosion of sew
eral hundred pounds of dynamite
and powder in freight car at Wind
sor, Mo-, yesterday. This with those
who died yesterday brings the total
death list UP to nine. 1t is believed
that the others injured will recover.
Physicians state that A. F. Hersch-
berger. the freight conductor who is
accused of causing the explosion,
by attempting a practical joke, will
recover. Herschberger was able to
talk this morning, and emphatically
denied that he was responsible for
the disaster. He laid the blame upon
a negro, who, he declared threw a
lighted match into a small pile of
powder that had been spilled.

will be public. The grand march will
start promptly at 7:30, led by Lucius
Sanchez and Miss Christina Herman

The crowd in attendance at the
festival consists of practically all the
Mexican people of Roswell, many Wis
itors from the country and a few
from Lincoln county, also many Am
ericans. 1t was an orderly and well
behaved gathering and no trouble is
anticipated, although it was an occa-
sion calculated ITO stir the blood of
the participants.

today for the reception Of Mr.. Bryan
an meetings tonight, the principal
one at convention hall at 8 p. m. Mr.
Bryan will deliver an address on Mr.
Taft and His Scares.'
Just before the convention was call
ed to order, Frank J. Connors, chair
man of the state committee, and
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader
gave out the following forecast of the
nominations:
For Governor, L. S. Chandler.
Lieut.. Gov, John A. Dix.
Secretary of State, John S. Whalen
Comptroller, M. H. Glynn.
Attorney General, Geo. M. Palmer
Treasurer, Gus Hauser.
The slate, with the exception OF
the candidate for lieutenant governor
is the same as decided upon at the
all night conferences. The selection
of Dix was big surprise, as it was
taken as settled that Francis Burton
Harrison, of New York would he
chosen. 1t is believed the leaders de-
cided to strengthen the ticket with
the upstate man, and also decided to
keep Harrison for congressional
nomination.
The convention was not called to
order for an hour after the appoint
ed time, as the resolutions commit
tee was not ready to report. The Nc
Carren-Murphy conflict is not expect
Carren having agreed, according to
report, not to introduce the resolu-
ton as threatened yesterday.
