DAWSON 4. MALOY 8TORE, ON E'_
PASO STREET, BURGLARIZED.
Nothing but Arms was Secured and
ths Thief Cut Himself in Breaking
the Plate Glass Window, and It Is
Thought That Through This He
Wil! Be Apprehended.
A told and audacious burglary was
committed at the store of Dawson &
Maloy in the Opera House block in
the curly hours of yesterday morn-
ing when people had first begun to
stir for the day. An entrance to
the store was affected through the
breaking of a large plate glass win-
dow which is In front of the store,
and ail that the burglars secured was
a few of the second-hand arms that
were cn display in the window.
The burglar In breaking the glass
evidently cat himself very badly, for
the officers who were called to the
scene saw a trail or blood from tho
window and followed this for almost
a mile. The burglar hat. not been
caught, but It Is thought that he will
be detected through the wound he
received. The route taken by the
man when he emerged from the store,
as Is shown by the trail or blood
which he left behind, is up El Paso
street from the store as far as Over-
land. At Overland ho turned west
to the alley which runs at the back
of Phil Young’s cafe. He turned up
this to Sonora street, thence west on
Sonora until he came to another alloy,
which he turned into .and after cut-
ting and dodging across lots and
through alleys he finally came out
back of the gas works, where the
trail of blood was lost. It Is thought
that so much blood was lost by the
man that he must be in a very bad
way, and It will possibly result in bis
death.
According to a young man named
Elmendorff, who was rooming above
the store, the burglary occurred at
just 5:30. Elmendorff Is a clerk In
Marfa's, and came to El Paso several
day i ago. He says that he has been
aci •u toujed to rising early, and yes-
terday morning was no exception.
When he got up he looked at his watch
and It was just 5:30. Almost at the
same instant he heard a crash, and
running to the window which over-
looks the street, a street car was just
coming along and, thinking that this
was what he heard, he went back into
the room and thought nothing more
about it until the robbery was re-
ported. It Is probable that had Mr.
Elmendorff been a native of the city
and accustomed to it, his hearing the
crash of the breaking glass might
have resulted In the apprehension of
the thief. No clew- had at a late hour
last night been secured that would
point to the burglar, but the police are
still confident that the map will be
caught.
GOVERNMENT ROAD CHANGED.
The government road to Fort Bliss
Is to be changed to run over Estrella
and Manzana avenues, In East El
Paso. Tills, will make a magnificent
drive and one that will be greatly
appreciated this summer by our town
people. Parties owning lots along this
drive are greatly pleased to hear of
the change, as it materially adds to
the value of their property.
Divorce Granted.
Yesterday Judge Walthall granted
a divorce to Mrs. Emma Rleden Iron
her husband, John Rleden. on statu-
tory grounds. The action was not
contested.

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When It Is Free of Dandruff It Grows
Luxuriantly^
Hair preparations and dandruff
cures, as a rule, are sticky or Irritat-
ing affairs that do no earthly good.
Hair, when not diseased, grows natu-
rally, luxuriantly. Dandruff Is tho
cause of nine-tenths of all hair trou-
ble, and dandruff ds caused by a germ.
The only way to cure dandruff Is to
■kill the germ; and, so far, the only
hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro’s Herpl-
eide—absolutely harmless, free from
grease, sediment, dye matter or dan-
gerous drugs. It allays itching In-
stantly; makes hair glossy and soft
as silk. "Destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect,” Bold by leading
druggists. Send 10c In stamps for
sample to The Herpictde Co., Detroit.

OPINIONS OF THE TIMES A8
ADVERTISING MEDIUM.
The Disreputable Methods of the Ev-
ening Fakir Bring put Some Strong-
ly Complimentary Things for This
Paper ar.d "Slams” for the Fakir.
The attention of The Times read-
ers is called to tho splendid line of
local advertisements to be found In
the paper today. It shows that even
at this season of the year the mer
chants of El Paso are doing a good
business and that they find The Times
the best medium through which to
make the public acquainted with the
bargains being offered. ,-
Yesterday a merchant called at The
Times office with a handful of ad-
vertising copy and said:
”1 want n good, space in The Time*
In the morning .and here is the copy
for it. and next Sunday I will want
two pages, probably. You have not
solicited me for this ad., but I am
satisfied your paper Is covering all
the territory It la entttled to, and Is
spreading out Into the territory of
others. When a man ‘hollers’ it Is
generally because some other fellow
Is walking on his toes."
The Evening Fakir has succeeded In
disgusting a majority of El Paso's
business men by the methods it em-
ploys to try and get business. In-
stead of soliciting on Its merits. It
pursues the disreputable policy of,
libeling the merits ol better and more
reputable advertising mediums. The
Times does not pad its circulation
with a free list prepared for the ex-
press purpose of deceiving its pat-
rons. The Times press Vooms and
circulation books are always open to
its regular advertisers.
The other day one of the Fakir's
agents was trying to persuade a large
merchant not to advertise with this
paper. The merchant's answer was
“Tho
The Times Is In a class by Itself;
It is the only morning paper In this
city, and people who read the news-
papers are not going to do without
their morning paper if they have
money to pay for It. We want to
reach the readers of the morning pa-
per, and to do It we must advertise
in The Times. And I want to Bay
that we get good results from Tin
Times. Nine out of every ten mail
orders we receive are brought to us
by that paper."
Another merchant who had been
approached by a Fakir agent who was
bellyaching because the merchant ad-
vertised in this paper. Bald:
"Sam Jones says that 'If. you will
throw a stone into a bunch of dogs
T'll tell you which dog got hit—It is
the one that howls.' The Times Is
not doing any howling, but i« attend-
ing strictly to its own business, and it
Is getting lots of it. But the Herald
seems to be suffering from pains of
some kind. Not one of its agents
can talk to you a minute without
slamlbring The Times, while on the
other hand Tho Times men never
mention the Herald and always de-
cline to discuss It.”
Radihm for 'Novelist*.11"" 1
At the dinner given by tlxe New
Vagabond club. In London. Sir Will-
iam Ramsay told the members that a
German novelist—Dr. Janvau Du Mai
Jun—anticipated radium.
Radium was a romance in Itself,
and he gave novelists present the hint
that it might, open up the subject of
the transmutation of one element Into
another.
He was far from saying that silver
or copper could be transmitted into
gold, but they might very well ask
what would happen in the world if
gold could be made very much cheap-
er than R was at present.
