PAGI EIGHT. ITH EL PASO HERALD: SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 1903. I cooking, when an ingredient has lost its strength, you use more than the receipt calls for. When buying, it pays to get fresh goods.

That means full strength and your money's worth. This is especially true of coffee. Roasted coffee, exposed to air, quickly loses strength, and double the quantity is required. Many women pay as much for cheap coffee as Chase famous Seal Brand would cost. Seal Brand is shipped in air-tight cans on the day it is roasted.

You get the full strength. Try it once! In 1 lb. and 2 lb. tin cans (airtight.) Other high grades in richly-colored parchment bags (moisture proof.)

The above only at 105 S. El Paso Street Phone 353 I Lonely' Old Fisherman Had A Fortune In a Violin AUSTIN, Sept. interesting story is told of how a lowly and poor old fisherman had a small fortune and did not know it, and when told he actually wept for joy. The fisherman in question lives on the Llamo river not very far from Kingsland, and has been fishing for a living for many years. Dr.

R. J. Briggs, of this city, pastor of the Austin Methodist church, was recently spending some wreeks at Kingsland and accidentally met the old fisherman, and Dr. Briggs got into conversation with the fisherman, and the former having a penchant for fine violins, owning one of the oldest in the country himself, mentioned the subject to the fisherman, wrho declared that he had an old fiddle himself, and he went to his hut and produced the instrument. Dr.

astonishment knew no bounds soon after examining the violin, as it proved to be one of the oldest extant, being several hundred years old. The old fisherman declared modestly that he would take $50 for the instrument, but when Dr. Briggs informed him that it was worth at least $5.000. the old man was radiant and could not believe it. He at once stopped fishing and came to Austin, and it is said he disposed of the valuable old fiddle for a fabulous sum, in fact enough to provide against want for the remainder of his life.

It seems that the violin was one of the finest makes in the world and the old fisherman had had it in his possession for many 3 STRUCK OIL IN TAMPICO, MEXICO CALIFORNIA CAPITALIST WHO HAS MADE A GREAT STRIKE. Believes There is a Fortune for His Company in the Oil Business as it Can Sell Cheaper Than the Oil Trust. A. J. Macginnis, a prominent capitalist from Los Angeles, came in on the the Mexican Central last evening from Mexico and left this morning for the west.

IVTr. Macginnis is at the head a company of Los Angeles capitalists wh0 have been exploiting the country in the neighborhood of Tampico for oil and wrhich has now some of the most promising wells in the oil wells are situated in the ebony bottoms around said Mr. Macginnis to a Herald reporter last evening, are surprisingly productive. We have one w'ell with a flow of six hundred barrels a day and two more which have a flow of two hundred. We are not shipping any of the product of the wells as wre are keeping it stored for the purpose of refining it.

are now putting up one of the most complete and best equipped oil refineries in the world and expect to have the same in operation soon. As our wells are the only wells in Mexico except those in Vera Cruz, we figure that we should do a great business in the sale of refined oil. With no duty to pay we should beat American dealers so far that they could not be able to compete. wells have been the means of building up a little town around them. The place is called Ebonol and takes its name from the great number of ebony trees that grow in that section.

It is quite a promising little place and on account of its proximity to the eastern coast of Mexico will some day become a city. The development of the oil resources of the country will bring about the development of the timber resources which never were more promising in any section of North FINED FOR BEATING ANOTER WOMAN, SHE PAID WITH PRIDE. Declared That She Was Perfectly Willing to Pay a Second Time for the Same Offense. In several places along the street car tracks between El Paso and Washington park the rails are under water and much trouble is being experienced with the cars getting off the track in these places. Last night about 6:30 one of the cars jumped the track while on the way to the park and delayed traffic about thirty minutes.

Tickets for the Francis Moore concert at the Presbyterian church on Monday evening, Sept. 28, can be had at Blakesley, Freeman Fennell, W. X. Hixson, and Music Store. The proprietress of the Mansion house on Overland street was up before the recorder last evening under the familiar name of Jane Doe, on the charge of assault.

She pleaded guilty and wras fined $5, she paid as if it did her good and declared that she stood ready to pay another fine for a similar offense. The offense for which she was fined was beating a woman by the name of Alline Turnnage. The Turnnage woman had been working at the Mansion as a housekeeper and a few nights ago had a falling out with the proprietress and left, finding employment with a family in the nearby neighborhood. Yesterday, from the Mansion house, the proprietress could see officers talking with the Turnnage woman at the house in which she had recently moved. She sent for the Turnnage woman to come over to the Mansion and the latter, complying, received a terrible beating at the hands of the proprietress as soon as she entered the house.

The proprietress said that when she saw the Turnnage woman talking to the officers she concluded that, she was informing on her and that is why she beat her. Jane Doe, after she pleaded guilty to assault, found a charge of keeping a disorderly house confronting her. She flew into a rage and demanded an immediate trial. Judge Eylar informed her that the charge against her involved a fine of not less than $200 and that she had better reflect before she rushed unprepared into a trial. She was not represented by an attorney but a friend finally induced her to submit to a continuance of the case until this afternoon at 4 BURGLARS VISIT THE RESIDENCE OF COLONEL NEFF.

Officer Takes a Shot at Them and the Aim Was True, as Blood Was Found on the Spot Later. The residence of Colonel E. W. S. Neff fin Magoffin avenue, was visited by burglars at an early hour yesterday morning.

The marauders were heard about the premises and the police were telephoned. Officers Franco and Larrazolo responded to the call and saw two men skulking about the premises. The men started to run away, and, as they did so, Officer Franco fired upon them. An examination after daylight showed streaks of blood along the trail taken by the burglars, which is an evidence that the aim of the officer was true. SOME GOOD SHOOTING BY EL PASO GUN CLUB MEMBERS Some Fine Sport Was Had at the Trap to Midland to Shootin Big Tournament.

Yesterday afternoon the regular weekly shoot of the El Paso Gun club was held, with a large number of members in attendance. As usual, Dr. Stevenson showed the other members something about shooting. He made 98 out of a possible 100 birds. Twice he made a straight run of 25 birds.

Dr. Stevenson takes a great deal of pride in his shooting and is always on hand at the shoots, and as a consequence, he is able to break his birds with about as much skill and ease as a professional. W. H. Shelton, the popular secretary of the club, was the only member outside of Dr.

Stevenson, who shot at a hundred birds, and he did well by making a percentage of 91 out of The best, scores that Mr. Shelton made were when he was twice able to get 23 birds out of 25. On two other scores he made 22 birds out of 25. Mr. Shelton would probably have scored much higher, but loaned his gun to some one else and tried a Winchester pump gun.

and consequently he missed a fewr birds. W. J. Rand made a straight score of 25 birds, but did not shoot the full 100. Mr.

Rand gave the spectators a fine exhibition of breaking birds quickly and many of the birds thrown for him had hardly left the trap wrhen they w'ere pulverized by the force of his shots. W. W. Bridgers made the next, best score with 24 out of possible 25. Mr.

Bridgers was at a disadvantage inasmuch as he has not been able to practice as much as some of the other members of the club, but he showed great skill in breaking the birds. Waters Davis marie the next highest score by securing 23 out of 25 birds. Mr. Davis, though an old trap shooter, has only just recently started in again, but is rapidly getting his hand in. Roxy Loomis, another new shooter yesterday made 21 birds.

Contractor Lewis, who is considered one of the coming shots of the club, yesterday fell a little belowr his customary good runs and was only able to secure 20 out of 25. Mr. Barnes, of one of the Arizona trap shooting clubs, was present and asked to try his hand. Mr. Barnes not having his gun with him.

used an gun that came handy, and did pretty work. The gun club of Midland. Texas, will hold a big shooting tournament on October 5. and many of the local members of the gun club are figuring on taking in the event and it is pretty safe to say that El Paso will come back with some of the money. TROOBLE OVER THE SALE OF TEXT BOOKS PUBLISHERS AND THE LOCAL DEALERS ARE AT OUTS.

Former Refuse to Allow the Latter Sufficient Commission and the Dealers Refuse to Handle the General May Act. SOME IMPROVEMENTS FOR FORT BLISS TARGET RANGE Items About People Going and New Fence for the Post Cemetery. Captain Glenn H. Davis, Twelfth infantry, who has been absent from his command for a year past on school duty, has returned and is at present in command of Captain company while the latter is in the hospital at San Antonio for treatment. Lieutenant Morris M.

Keck has returned to Fort Bliss from a leave of absence. Contracts have been let for the building of a frame target house on the target range and for a new fence around the post cemetery. Captain and Mrs. Frank D. Wickham of the Twelfth infantry, have gone to their new station at Fort Duchesne, Utah.

Mrs. Wickham, who has been here with her parents, Major and Mrs. Logan, at their home near the post for several months, though improved in health, is not yet entirely well and it is hoped that the change will benefit her. Captain James W. Clinton, Twelfth infantry, who has been garrisoning Camp Eagle Pass with a detachment of the Twelfth infantry for the past four months, has returned to the post.

There is trouble over the book supply for the county schools. The firms that have the state contract have refused to allowr the local dealers enough commission for handling them and the dealers have so far refused to take the books. As a result, the pupils in the county schools are doing the best- they can with their old books and are patiently awaiting the arrival of the new supply. County Superintendent Roach, when asked about the matter today, said that the pupils and teachers were at a great disadvantage as a result of the action of the publishers and that, he would wait only a fewr days longer, when he would report to the attorney general that the publishers were not keeping their contract here and see what action would be taken. Ordinarily suit should be filed on their bond.

There are a few of the books hand, some of those formerly in having been adopted, but these very few and the pupils, deprived of the others, are not making the progress in their work that is desired. The dealers say that they can not possibly handle the books at the margin of profit w'hich the publishers wish to allow and there the matter rests. They say that the publishers, to get the business, put their prices very low and then try to recoup and make as much profit as possible out of their sale by cutting the commission of the retailer and they are not disposed to stand for this. on use are REMNANTS ARE OFF TO PLAY CLIFTON TEAM. Will Then Likely Play a Gam? With the Champions From San Antonio at an Early Date.

The Remnants left over the El Paso Southwestern this morning for Clifton, where they are going to play the Clifton ball team tomorrow'. AVhile three of El best playeps were not with them, the boys feel hopeful that they will be able to make a much better showing than that made last Sunday at Deming and that they will come home victorious instead of defeated. Young. Andreas and Hackett were unable to go today and their places were filled by other players. There is a movement on foot to bring the San Antonio team to El Paso for a game of ball either with the Fort Worth team or with the local team.

San Antonio has one of the best ball teams in the state and should they come here they would be in position to give El Pasoans a very interesting game of ball. The team won the championship of the South Texas League just closed. The San Antonio players have advised the local fans that they would be willing to put up money in case they come here, that the El Paso team will not make a home run during the game.
