Ohio and New York Central rail-

road. The work ot removing , theWestern union poles and wires fromthe lines of the railroad continued to--

NEW YORK, May 22. Investigation shows that notwithstanding thedestruction of its lines along the Pennsylvania railroad, the business of theWestern Union Telegraph companyis being moved with practically , no

delay. All messages tor destinationson tne line of the Pennsylvania railroad are being delivered with theusual promptness. The cutting of theWestern Union telegraph poles as aresult of the decision of Judge Buf-

fi ngton will not be carried into JerseyCity. The decision covers only a partof New Jersey, the southern part, andthe poles are being cut on .the WestJersey and Sea Shore in that direction. ,

What is of more importance to the

development and welfare of a com-

munity than good public schools? As-

suredly, nothing. In this importantrespect no city In the west stands ona higher plane than Las Vegas. The

past year has been a - particularlyprofitable one. The high school hasbeen greatly strengthened and in

every grade the seed faithfully sown

has brought forth fruit abundantly.The end of the exacting, often monot-

onous, but inestimably profitable workof the pupils and the anxious, faithfultoil of the teachers has come at lastThe Optic wishes them all a

pleasant and helpful vacation.. Recog-nizing fully the importance of theschools and the high standard of thoseIn Las Vegas, a large amount of spaceis given in this issue to the closingexercises and matters of general In-

terest connected wfth the sublect.This is in fact The Optic's annual pub-lic school edition.,

The Public Schools.The public schools closed for the

summer vacation this afternoon.' Thishas been a very successful term and6S5 pupils have been in attendance.Closing exercises were held in eachgrade and the large number of vUi- -

St"

tors present, testified to' the lntere.ittaken in the schools.

The High School.The high school is located in the

new building on Baca avenue, and in

eluding the freshman class recentlypromoted, now enrolls 55.

At present only a two years' courseof study Is in operation, as the boardof education the cityhigh school only last September. Forfive years previous it had been in

charge of the Normal. A full ucryears' course of study has been ;uMpted and next year will In all probability bo In operation.

nie Holzman.Superintendent.

Miss Maggie J. Bucher has for five

years been superintendent of the cityschools, and at the meeting of theboard of education in May was unanimously re elected. Miss Bucher hasseen the school grow and improve un-

der her supervision, and that the public appreciate her services Is shownby the support given her in the management and discipline of our schools.

The Board of Education.The board of education, by, hard

work and harmonious action, hassucceeded in placing our schools inthe front ranks.

derous reports sent out to the effectthat Las Vegas had declined to receive President Roosevelt on accountof his failure to adhere to bis positionon the statehood question as outlinedhere several years ago, It had no

knowledge of the Identity of the cor

respondents responsible for such sillystories. The vigorous denunciation ofsuch methods, however, seem to havestirred up the right parties. Las Veg-

as deeply resented the insulting state-

ments sent out concerning her. Itmay be said that one of the main rea-

sons why more than three hundred

people got up before daylight to go toSanta Fe, was to give evidence thatthe disloyalty charged against us was

unfounded. Furthermore, the tele-

graphic dispatches which representedthe 'action of the New Mexico legis-

lature In declining to appoint an of--

fleial reception committee pi a. ,begl.lafure that was about to go out of ex

lAence as disloyal, were unfoundedand mischievous. They were un

doubtedly, responsible for the deroga-"for- y

Vrports that appeared in the eastern paper at the-tim- e f the presi-dent's visit. As The Optic said before,If there be blame at all. it comes firstto those responsible for senJlng outsuch statements.

ber of Las Vegas citizens. His pre-

eminent ability, his energy and In-

peka to San Francisco. As generalsolicitor of the Santa Fe coast lines,he held a high place In the regard of

the legal world. , ,.. .'

most summary measures houJd betaken with those who are responsible.The matter' Is too serious, a one to

Justify the publication of prematureand perhaps" entirely unfounded reports. The members of the board ofdirectors are men f high businessftandng ( anf generally accepted in- -'

tegrity, and are no doubt zealous forthe good name of the institution., With

'the exception of Dr. Hart they are not. medical moo, and therefore might be

' excused if they failed to appreciatethe exact slgnlflence of some of themethods of government and control' ofthe patients. Hence the pains takenby this paper to secure Dr.; Hart's

The people of the "territory as wellas of the cfty will await with confl-

BRILLIANT BALL AT THE MONTE

ZUMA CASINO LAST.NIGHT.

Fine Music, Courteeue Attention, Su

perb Supper and General Good TimeEverybody Happy.

The dance at the Monteiuma casino last night, given by tne Las Ve-

gas Military band, proved to be oneof the social events of the season.

Fully 200 people boarded the carsand went out to the springs to indulgein the whirl of the waltz, and two-ste-

tripped to the inspiring strainsof music dispersed by a band of twen

ty pieces. ;

The program consisted of twentydances, but this did not seem sufficient, to satisfy the demands of thepleasure-lovin- g crowd. ' Dance ' afterdance was encored , to such an extentthat the band was compelled to playon until the desires of those upon thefloor were fully' satiated. At 12

o'clock all present repaired to the dining-roo- where they were servedwith the bounteous banquet ,, whichmine Host Talbot always provides forsuch occasions. All those who desired to return to the city went tothe depot and boarded the car whichwas to return to the city first Whilewaiting for the car to start they wereregaled with the would-b- e humorousand witty remarks of a cheerful idiot,who possessed a sadly sun-burn- t com-

plexion and who had imbibed a suf-

ficient quantity of Hot Springs min-

eral water to put him into that cheer-ful frame of mind which made himthink he was really funny.

It was near 4 o'clock before thosewho remained to dance "Home, SweetHome" reached the city, tired out,but well satisfied with the time theyhad spent so pleasantly. The bandboys are to be congratulated uponthe successful manner in which theyhandled the affair, while the musicwhich they furnlsed was of the best.

The street railway company, asusual, handled the crowd in a mostsatisfactory manner.

the desert country 300 miles east ofEl Paso, resulting .In the killing of11. S. Biggs, the magistrate and school

teacher; Ed Bell, a citlte'n, and R. C.

Mahon, a deputy sheriff, who was for-

merly a cattleman.Only the roost meager details

reached here. As far as can be learn-

ed, a quarrel arose between Dell andJ I. S. Biggs over a letter receivedthrough the postofflce. Bell bad beenworking for McMahon, and both menwere known to be quarrelsome. Biggswas a very quiet man and Is notknown to have had any previous trou-

ble. He had been a school teacherin Sanderson for some eight or nineyears.

When Biggs and Bell had a row Mc-

Mahon tried to separate the contest-ants. Biggs couducted a very nervyfight agalnHt the two men, who, iteeems, turned on him during thelight. He shot Bell through the head,killing him instantly, and was in turnahot through the heart by McMahon.While lying on the floor of the post-offic- e

the wounded man took deadlyaim at McMahon and fired one shot,which fatally wounded the deputysheriff, who died a few hours later.
