NEWS FROM CHICAGO.
The Proposed Meeting of Western Passen-
ger Men In 1T. Louis Will
Not BE Held.

Chicago, Ill, July 31.-No meeting of the
Western passenger men will be held in ST.
Louis tomorrow to reorganize the demor
allied conditions surrounding traffic to and
from Texas 1t mas been found impossible
to secure fun meeting and, unless q
fun representation can be had. there is no
gain in holding a meeting at all. No ac-
ton can be taken with assurance of per-
manent results unless the Missouri. Kansas
& Texas is fully in accord with the move
ment and all the interested lines have no
hesitation in declaring that they do not
propose to restore rates, SO that the Mis-
souri. Kansas x Texas can reduce them
whenever IL takes a notion.
At a meeting of the Chica Go-Omaha lines
to-day. 1t was decided that no attempt
would be made to apply @. \. r. rates from
Omaha and Council Bluffs via Chicago.
Al one time II was feared that this might
be done, to the detriment of the regular
rates between Omaha and Chicago.

he LOVED HER,
And Killed Himself Because He
Couldn't Marry Her.


Coroner Jones this morning took
the evidence OF Herman Pursch,
father Of Herman Pursch, who
committed suicide yesterday by
shooting himself, and also of Gus
tav Schmutzler, who had known
deceased the past ten years. From
the evidence it is learned that de-
ceased loved q woman employed
in variety theatre, and it
appears that he wanted to
marry her and that his father
objected. He said IL he could not
marry her he would kill himself.
Deceased and Schmutzler went to
the Washington theatre Sunday
night, and Pursch told Schmutzler
that he would stay there and take
his girl home. Pursch did not re-
turn home until five o'clock yes
terday morning. His father told
him he would ruin his health by
carousing around that way, and
deceased went to his room, saying
he felt very happy. A few moments
later the father heard a shot, and
on going to his sons room, found
him lying across the bed, shot in
the mouth.

Gives Us q Puff.

From the Boerne Post, Aug 1st.
"The Evening LIGHT is now is
suing morning paper every Sun
day that demonstrates that 1t is
most effective rival of the Express,
rival but that's not the word, it's
away ahead of it in Geographic
news, local items and reading mat
ter OF general interest. The only
regret of the people is that such
paper Is not issued each moi ming
instead of weekly. The fact Is the
Express has so long monopolized
the local field that it thinks that
1t can do as 1t darned pleases, but
with the LIGHT on one side and
the Houston Posts San Antonio
edition upon the other the old
lady will have to get move for
ward or take a back seat and wait
for progress to pass her on its way
to prosperity"
Oh thanks! The LIGHT Is not
anxious to rush to its own funeral
by trying to publish q morning
newspaper, in a town where the
legitimate advertising will not
sustain it. San Antonio does not
need, and will not have another
morning newspaper until the bust
ness men back their "moral sup
port" with cash paying advertise
ments.

Il Will Be Reduced to Six Clubs or

The fact that Houston has with
drawn from the Texas-Southern
league circuit will have no favor
able effect on the league. This
will somewhat mar the circuit, as
the different clubs will suffer from
the big jumps to and from Calves
ton. The league will either be re-
duced to elk clubs or Waco will
come in for Houston's franchise.
That the league has lasted as long
as 1t did, without break in the
circuit, shows that the game is
more popular than ever in Texas.
When the season opened some pre-
dicted that the league would not
last two months, but these Jimmy

The Making Of Tubing.

One Of the most important parts Of
the bicycle, because it is the most in
evidence, is the tubing. The manufac-
ture Of tubing is now carried OH to a
large extent in this country, although it
is but recently that the home production
has reached stage of perfection where
1t could successfully compete with that
of the English concerns.
There are a number of methods of
making tubing, but the one mostly in
vogue at present is what is termed the
cold drawn process, and it is of this style
Of tubing that all the high grade ma
chimes are at present being made. The
machinery required is ponderous, and
the power required to draw out q piece
of steel without heating it is another ex-
hibition of the perfection of modern ma
chinery.
There are number of variations to
the method employed, one of which con-
slsts i'll taking a piece of steel in the
shape Of a bar or ingot. This is bored
through the center. 1t is then passed
through a die, after which it is heated
and treated to bath in a secret prepa-
ration which removes the temper that
the drawing process imparts. This is re-
peated number Of times, and each die
used is smaller than it's predecessor, with
the result that the tube grows smaller
and longer. This is continued till the
tube is the right diameter and gauge

Ono of Chicago's greatest stockmen

Each morning TIE milEonaire's man
