FOR TWO FACTIONS

Suddenly, Will Be
. Examined.
With Commissioner Freudenthal
presiding, In the absence of Judge
Eyiar, the county icommissioners
court yesterday morning postponed
until August 24 action on the petition
of Van Horn prohibitionists asking
the court to call a local option elec-
tion for Van Horn district.
Attorneys Are Present.
Volney M. Brown appeared for the
petitioners, while Attorney Ware was
present to look ont for the interest of
the antis, who, it is understood, will
oppose the petition.
The antis contend that the law pro-
viding for the ordering of such an
election upon the petition of 50 legal
electors contemplated that such elec-
tors should be qualified voters.
Contentions of Two Factions.
The opponents of local option al-
lege that a large percentage of the
signatures to the petition are not
those of qualified voters and will con-
tend that a man who refuses to quali-
fy as a voter is not a legal elector;
that a legal elector is one who has
paid his poll tax and is a qualified
There was a committee of antis up
from Van Horn yesterday and the fight
on the petition promises to be a warm one.
The commissioners saw that the contest
involved several fine points of law, so
they decided to wait until Judge Eyiar’s
return.
To Examine Child’s Stomach.
Justice E. H. Watson appeared before
the court to usk that tlie stomach of a
child which died suddenly the other day
be sent to Chicago for. analysis.
Dr. Orrv, who is acting county physi-
cian was called in and said that there
was no laboratory in El Paso properly
equipped for such work, so he was in-
structed to send the stomach to Chicago.

tion for damages sustained by the county

and asked i>erniis8ion to order a splint.'
The request was granted.
Manager IIa,rvie of the Darbyshlre-
Harvie Iron and Machine company sub-
mitted a proposition to put in a smoke
consumer in the county jail heating plant.
, He bad used this furnace at his works.
It cost $1250, burns any and everything
except water, Iron and dirt or rocks, and
did not give forth a particle of smoke
It just delighted in burning trash and
any old kind of coal that would not burn
anywhere else
Architect Knee/.ell had inspected tho
conHu.n/?r and found it the best of the
kind he bad ever seen.
To Decide August 24,
Mr. Kneezell was instructed to advise
Richy & Morgan not to order materia! for
his fire box until the 24th. when the court
would decide whether or not it would
accept Mr. Harvie’s proposition.

prominent families In Mexico. The

this city on a special train of two

National Railway of Mexico' declared
last night was record breaking time
for the run.

FREIGHT AND PASSENGER
TRAFFIC SHOW INCREASE
STATISTICS FOR JULY SHOW DE-
CIDED IMPROVEMENT.
Increase Estimated at 15 Per Cent in
Business of Local Railroads
Over June.
He Knew His Friends.
"Yes sir,” 1 roasted the hotel pro
prletor, "that dog’s the best rat catch-
in’ dog in the state.”
Even as he spoke two big rats scur-
ried across the. office floor. The dog
merely wrinkled his nose.
"Rat dog,” scoffed the traveling
man. "Look at that will you.”
“Huh!” snorted the landlord. "He
knows them. Hut you let a strange
rat cotne in here ouce.”—Every-
body’s Mag..*ine.
That the statistical reports of the
freight and passenger departments of
the E. P. & S. W. and the G. H. && S.
A. for the month of July will show a
decided increase in the volume of
business Over the month of June, is
the statement made yesterday by offi-
cials of both roads.
Traffic Outlook Bright.
"Exporters and importers have been
holding back much of their business
awaiting the settling of the tariff
question,” declared a prominent rail-
road official last evening, “With the
signing of the bill by President Taft
shippers now know exactly where
they are at and continued increases
in the amount of freight handled by
the railroads should he forthcoming.”
Increase Wilt be 15 Per Cent
Just how great tho increase of July
business over June was has not been
made public. The railroad officials
do not like, as a rule, to make public
their figures and this is Jhe only way
in which tho exact increase of busi-
ness can be ascertained. That the
increase will amount to 15 per cent
was admitted, however.
The Increase, it is said, is noticea-
ble in both local and transcontinental
traffic. Many more people are travel-
ing in both directions I halt at this
time of the season last year. ,The
shipping increase is proportionately
as great, according to officials of the
two roads, and the outlook is excep-
tionally bright.
Simply Useless Bother.
A Olay Center youngster stayed out
late recently at an entertainment. By
the time he got home he was too sleepy
to know just what, he was doing. His
mother, after much work, succeeded In
establishing In his mind that she want-
ed him to say his prayers before he
got Into bed.
“Aw, mumsie,” he yawned, “now
what’s the use of waking God up at
thlse time of night.”—Kansas City
Journal.
To Be Sure.
The necessities of conversation fre-
quently lead to odd abreviatlons. Mrs.
Sullivan and Mrs. Harrigan, the other
day, were conversing across the
fence thTit separated their respective
clothes yards. A high wind was blow-
ing, and each woman from Iter post
amid the lines had to shout to make
herself heard.
“Mrs. SutlTvan" shouied Mrs. Har
rigan. "did yez do to tMb, hall Iasi
night?”
"Yts,” shouted the other, in the
“ale ’I was ”
” “Was what?” cried Mrs. Sullivan.
