It has been stated the various coal companies are behind many of the prosecutions that have been made recently for violations of the liquor laws, and that the crusade will be continued. It is claimed the traffic interferes with the workmen, as the men are in no condition to work after a Saturday night and Sunday car ousal. makes the tenth arrest from the Pigeon Creek district within the past two weeks, and it may be that more will follow.

H. A. Hutchinson, informing them that for the present no more patients will be received at the Western Pennsylvan ia hospital for the insane, at Dix- mont. The leter sets forth that at a meet ing of the executive committee of the hospital, held recently, it was deem ed advisable not to receive any more patients on account of the crowded condition of the institution. There are, it is stated in the letter, 1,014 in mates at present, and the normal ca pacity is 675.

Washington county has a number of patients in this in stitution. This crowded condition prevails also in other institutions of the state, where the county is required to send its insane wards. The problem of taking care of insane patients is a serious one, and for that reason, the poor board says it is becoming more and more imperative that the county have an insane hospital.

The Daily is indebted to the Rev. Al- vin Hazlett for the following letter from one of the young men of his con gregation, now with Company at ElPaso, Texas. He says in part: Just a few lines to let the folks at home know we are all well, and I never expect to feel better in my life, and while not exactly in love with this mil itary life yet I am not going to grumble. Of course many of the boys were dis. appointed when they expected war at once, and I among the rest would not be here tonight if I had known that chance) for peace were aa good es they look down here now.

But it is perhaps all for the best in the end, and should our services be required we will be right here handy, hardened and have a fairly good training. We can't get over the idea of a 3,000 mile journey all for nothing, and yet President Wilson may be right in his peace at any price policy. If Mexico is all like this part of Texas where we are encamped, very little of it would satisfy me, and I don't see what any American wants over there. The locality where we are quartered would hardly grow a good cactus plant let alone any other vegetation. It is a rocky, sandy, waterless plain, broken here and there by a barren rock from a mile to a mile and one half high.

ElPaso is a nice place with some fine buildings and many quaint bungalows. Some of them have lawns and flower gardens and little stunted trees 6 or 8 feet high, but the cost of up keep is so expensive that only the wealthy can afford them. If this place had the vegetation of Pennsylvania, its water and soil, it would be one of the prettiest places in the world. The climate is hot but to my idea is ideal. It gets hot about ten o'clock in the morning, and reaches its highest point about three in tbe afternoon, but the rest of the day is fine.

The nights are delightful aside from the mosquitoes and sand flies. We had one sand storm the other day. It came up about five o'clock in the evening and it was still raging at nine. The air was full of alkali dust and sand and it was difficult to breathe. We went to bed and alf rolled up in our blankets, and wnen we awoke in the morning we were nearly buried alive.

Yesterday we had several little typhoons or whirlwinds, you could see them coming miles away. Some of the boys had just washed their clothing, and the wind picked it up and carried it skyward. It was comic to watch the fellows trying 50c Children's wash suits 39c, $1.00 and $1.25 wash suits 79c. Surprise Store. adv.

T.nka Tbe Kodak Store Yesterday With the temperature 115 in the sun, drill and the work of building up camps was shortened yesterday at'Camp Pershing and Camp Stewart. Despite the fact that even regular army officers and men who have been there for years complained of the heat, only a few of the guardsmen complained. The news of the drowning of private Thomas Haag of Company and the death of Private John Devinney of Company of the Tenth Infantry of Pennsylvania, in the Big Bend coun try on Monday cast a gloom over the officers and men of th First and Second batallions of the regiment in Camp Pershing. The two unfortunate privates were in the Third Bat talion under the command of Maj Henry W.

Coulter. The battalion was detailed to border duty in the Big Bend country last week. The death of Devinney is puzzling to the med ical officers connected with the regi ment, for it was known that he was in excellent condition when he left Camp Pershing with his company to protect the Texas border from bandit raids. FIRST MUNICIPAL BAND CERT TOMORROW CON-NIGHT The first Municipal band concert of the summer will be held tomorrow, Friday evening at the Lincoln school in Thomas street. The concert will be given by the Union band, Prof.

REAL We try as he leaves promptly and has and friendly bank to We have not received any cots yet and sleep on the ground. Our "eats" were not relished for the first week or so, and some of the boys thought they would starve but we are getting used now to the army rations and eat with a ravenous appetite. Of course this lift has its hardships, but at that, it somehow holds a charm. We have our restrictions in camp but are not dogged or driven, and our officers deserve credit. They are a fine set of men and most of them endure the same hardships as we privates.

Our 3000 mile journey got rather wearisome to of the boys but the changes in vegetation and the geographical lay of the different states attracted my attention and I enjoyed it very much. The people all along the way welcomed us and treated us royally. We are getting fine treatment by the citizens of ElPaso, but this lazy camp life is not to my liking. We get up at 5:30, reveille call at 6, first mess at 6:30, hospital call 6:45, drill call at 7 and drill till 9 and some times 10. I expect we will increase our morning drill as we become more accustomed to the heat and climate, rest until noon, second meis call at 12:30 and then rest until 4 p.

m. Understand these rest periods are not all rest, for we have a thousand and one chores to do. At 4 o'clock we start drilling again, which lasts for about one hour and a half, retreat call at 6, third mess at 6:30. Then it ia mostly rest until bed time, although we some times have a dress parade and inspection by the officers; tattoo at 10, reveille at 10:15 and taps at 10:30. This is not enforced and we are mostly at liberty in the evening and at night, but if you miss any of the drills or roll calls you get loaded down with extra duty.

We have no idea how long we will be down in this district. I don't think anyone knows, but there is no sign of war other than our military training. It appears to be only a gigantic preparedness scheme, so tell all the folk at home there is no particular danger and that we are having a good time. Vernon Ford. DUNLEVY HAS CASE OF INFATILE PARALYSIS A minor case of infatile paralysis has been reported at Dunlevy, where the four-years-old child of Quinto Prazersari is ill with a light attack of the disease.
