Eeientiic terms are ordinarily
crammed without mercy into the medi-
cal certificates that are brought into
courts Of justice. These have always
the effect Of thoroughly frightening
the magistrates, who hardly under
stand them more than do the good pub

At a recent court session NJ. Masse,
the presiding judge, interrupted the
reading Of a medical certificate:
'Whan will these doctors resolve to
abandon their gibberish and speak
French"
Monsieur the president, the doctors
remain as they were in the time Of
1Ioliere."
Tie presiding judge said with
sigh; "They are worse than in the time
Of Aoliere. In that epoch at least the
doctors made use Of a kind of Latin
that one could understand. Today no
one can understand them at all"

HAIL Stones
DO DAMAGE
Worst Storm in Several l
Years Visits This Section
Sunday Afternoon-Canta-
loupes and Fruit Suffer

About three o'clock OH Sunday
afternoon this section of the Ar
kansas Valley was visited by the
worst hailstorm in several years,
to the serious damage of the vine
and fruit crops within the area
ravaged.
Providentially the worst of the
storm did not cover large area or
its effects would have been much
more serious, for even inside the
city limits which was near the
edge of the hail belt-the ground
was covered with blanket of
white for fifteen minutes after the
storm had passed.
Along the path of the storm
from a point about mile south of
Weitzer and extending almost to
to Newdale, the cantaloupe and
other vine crops were badly cut up
the worst damage reported being
to j. G. Fleming, Clark Kitchen,
Henry Ball aud the Experiment
Station-in some cases as much as
80 per cent of the vine crops were
ruined.
The hail just escaped Senator
Crowley's big orchard, but the
Todd orchard, and others in the
Eureka district and west to Joe
Effner's, suffered severely, a large
quantity of the immature apples
being knocked from the trees, and
the entire plum crop, with what
was left of the cherries in that
section, were ruined.

Farmers VIII Talk Fair

A regular meeting of the Otero County

Saturday afternoon. The subject for the
meeting was selected by Mayor Coffman
and will be What Can We as Farmers
do to make our Coming Fair and Melon

As the fair really represents the entire
county the subject seems good one
John Edgar has been selected to open the
subject and it is hoped that every member
present will have word to say regard
ing the question.

showed that while the sample
taken from the labeled barrel CON
tanned less than 2 per cent alcohol,
the samples taken from the others
contained over 8 per cent, or about
one-half per cent more alcohol
than the genuine Schlitz beer.
Swink's arrest was a natural Sc.
quence, and the city officials pro-
pose to vigorously prosecute the
case, and hope that it may act as
a warning to other dealers who
may have been getting too close to
the bounds that constitute boot

FOR ALDERrlAN A
George Daring will Likely Have Place
Vacated by Brown

To occupy the position Of alderman Of
the Second ward. which it is understood
must be vacated by W. J. Brown when
he assumes the office OF postmaster, a
petition requesting the appointment of
George R. Daring was presented to the
council at the regular meeting last FRI
day evening.
Mr.. Daring was a member Of the coun-
Gil for four years away back in 1899
l902, and he appears to have given salts
factory service as the petition for his
appointment was quite generally signed
Other important matters before the
council at lis last meeting were the Sun
day closing law and the matter of widen
ing the sidewalk along the Elm avenue
side of the Farmers & Merchants bank
building.
In the latter case the city attorney was
instructed to prepare legal notice and
serve same on the property owners at
once to have the sidewalk wideneo as
ordered.
The city attorney was also instructed
to meet with the law and ordinance COM
mittee and forthwith prepare new Sun
