DIR. X. c. Flower. whose fame as q
physician has extended into slmoJt
every household In the land, has ar
ranged to make second and final trip
this season through the Southwest. The
readers Of this paper will remember
reading of his extended professional trip
last January through Kentucky, Tennes-

who gathered to see the doctor at his
stopping places during his trip that at
many of the places he was unable to see
but a portion OF those who sought his
aid. consequently he promises to return
again shortly that those unable to con-
suit him heretofore might now have the
opportunity. The doctor will be at the
following places on the dates here given
Louisville, KY, Gait House, Monday
and Tuesday, March 20 and 30.
Nashville, Tenn, Maxwell House,

the last opportunity.

First and Second Methodist.

A young man had always accompanied his
parents TO the First Methodist Church. One
Sunday morning his father was surprised
when, in reply to Are you ready. john" the
will attend the Second Methodist this morn
ing. Upon this the Old gentleman departed
for the First Methodist, in which sanctuary he
was a shining light and a great power around

Woodworking Christian, also believed in the
good things of mother EARTH and had plen-
titully supplied wine cellar, which Oas he
knew that the young were liable to be indiS-
Greet he kept under lock and key. For several
weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds
in his wine casks, and he also noticed that his
son mad taken a great liking for the Second
Methodist Church. ON the following Sunday
the deacon again asked his son to 20 to the
First Methodist put John replied that he had
already made arrangements to attend the Sec
Ond Methodist. The deacon quietly departed,
and John, with three companions, who had
been in waiting, went TO the cellar where they
had been all along secretly induging in the
deacon's fine old wines. John flew to the door
and tried to insert the key, but could not find
the keyhoe He struck a match and saw
with surprise, that the kcyhOe had been
plugged and that very strong, able-bOdied
paddock bad been attached to the door. As
the rays of light from the Pickering match re-
nected against the door they all noticed some
thing white, upon which was some CharaCtere-

ARKANSAS PASS EXTENSION.
The Support it Should Receive-The Ben
efits it VIII Confer on San Antonio.

BY reference to our telegraph columns,
il will be seen that the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass Railroad company have
secured their charter for the extension
of their line into the extreme north
western section of the State. This road,
Ms projected. opens up virgin territory,
so far as railroad enterprises are con-
cerned, and will be the most important
feeder that this city could possibly open
up. The charter also provides for branch
lines east and south, the aggregate
length OF which will be over 300 miles.
As the main line will be abOnt $50 miles
long. the road and its branches will have
Il total mileage of nearly 800 miles. This
enterprise cOmmends itself to the capt.
tai, confidence and support OF San AntO-
MO rs the one above all others to give
this city that commercial importance TO
which she is justly entitled by geOgraph-
ical position and natural advantages.
No finer location .COu d be selected for an
immense city than San Antonio possess
es Her capital and her commerce would
both be multiplied by making her the
center OF a vast industrial movement,
commensurate with the commercial i'm
pOTthnce she is de.tined TO attain. With
this source of wealth developed within
herself she would be dOubly certain to
secure all the advantages that extended
railroad communications would give her
from without.
The tendency of all railway enter
prises is to run their lines where n
carry ing business is most likley to yield
TIL best returns. The tendency OF II
create industry is to multiply its product
i've where they will soonest and most
cheaply reach market. There Is an
interdependence in these things that
should not be forgotten. While interest
ing themselves in railway extension San
Antonio capitalists should reach out
after manufacturing industries as the
surest way of turning the golden stream
OF commerce into their own lap, instead
of seeing it flow past their doors. This
railway scheme, long talked of, now
chartered for opening rail cOmmunica-
tiOn with the vast heart of Kansas
through the grass and grain fields Of
Western Texas, has more promises in II
than the most sanguine prophet of San
AntoniO's future dreams OF. Ii should
receive every last dollar of encourage
ment the citizens OF this place can give
it. 1t will prove the best Investment
ever made by them, and when the iron
grooves of commerce are stretching their
interminable miles to the great north
west to bring the riches of an empire
with their grasp they will begin to
realize as they cannot now the wisdom
OF putting their dollars In this San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass extension.
