the rate of 81 800, 900 a N onth, or $50, OOC

John D. Rockefeller sleeps eight

OF all mosq uito-ridden sections of the
United States, Corpus Christi seems to
be, for some ineXplicable reason, the
most afflicted. DR.. Schwartz descrip-
tion of the mosquito plague that re-
Gently settled down upon this Texas
town is like the biblical narrative OF
the locust pestilence. 1t seems that
the mosquitoes visit their favorite set
tlemens whenever the wind comes from
any other direction than south. Under
these conditions hundreds of thousands
of millions of the insects land this is a
low estimate) are blown IN upon the
unfortunate town. Whole herds of
cattle and horses flee, panied and panic
stricken, before the living cloud in q
wild effort to get to water. When the
direction of the wind changes. how
ever, the winged cyclone disappears as
hastily as it arrived. There is no
guarding against these Onslaughts;
nothing but the weather vane can for
bode the approaching pestilence.
Neither earthquake, nor lightning,
nor tornado is dreaded half so much as
the visitation of these sudden insect
storms, the animate d particles of which
sting and buzz and fly in blinded fury
into every nook and crany.

Pure Water vs.. Malaria,

A a general rule, all waters comin @
directly, or rather, Indirectly from
near the surface of the ground. must
be avoided. Recourse must be had
either to deep wells or the drinking
water must be boiled. The experience
of the town of Hawkinsville. Ga, will
well illustrate this point. This thrifty
little manufacturing city was located
unfortunately in a malarial section.
Although the disease was not at all
severe, malaria was so common that its
inhabitan. : get into the habit of ex-
pecting to have few chills every fall
d d mater or course. The water used
until recent years was drawn from
shallow wells, which undoubtedly re-
ceived the surface drainage of the
country. In order to get a large sup
ply of water one Of the cotton factories
put down an artesian well. The au-
tumn following the people who had
used water exclusively during the
season, were gratifed to find that they
had escaped from the expected chills.
The result was that a sufficient num-
Der of artesian wells were sunk to
supply the entire town and the place
has been free from malaria ever since.
Another very striking illustration wa
found in the BraZOS cotton belt of Tex
as, which was long known as such
malariat country that a white man
could not risk living there during the
later summer and fall. During a re-
cent visit TO that section the writer
learned that the rule now is to keep
out of the damp air at night, drink
only artesiau water, and you will be
safe.-EX.

New r.. & p. ENGINES.

According to word from Big Sprin gs,
the Texas & Pacific is to have tn rec
new engines with which to run the fas
trains, and which are now building at
the Schenectady locomotive works.
These engines will be practically dup
licates of the New York Central's fam
Gus 900 thai made such records for fast
running when the fast service was
inaugurated on the Central.
Then the L. 81 p. management is
now equipping its engines with cleo
trio headlights, and engine ITO, the
one that was smashed up in the COLI
sion with S04 of the G. H., will have
such light. The Re is about the
same as the ordinary article, but
sha lower more dished like, and the
rays will be thrown for quarter
of a mile or more. This will enable
the runners to stop on seeing an obsta-
Gle at that distance. A runner can
now see only two telegraph poles
ahead of him, and cannot stop within
that distance. The light is run by a
little donkey engine located behind the
headlight. and the carbons will burn
twenty-siX hours. The new headlight
is swiveled aud swings parallel to the
trucks at all times, so that the light
will be thrown around curves instead
of shooting straight ahead out into the
prairie where the light is of no &C

A Successful Evening.

The plaza was crowded last evening
with citizens and their families to hear
the sixth concert Of the
season by the NEG nty band
and not few people thought the band
id better than at any time previous
The band turned out thirty-eight men,
with the following Instrumentation

the band as soCord trumpet, and sever
al add itiona1 musicians are expected
from Pittsburg TT e latter part of this
month, there ought to be about forty
five men in the McGinty band by the
end of the season. In fact, next season
the management hopes to have fit,
men. The latest addition to the band
is Clerk Escajeda of the district court,
who is playing second tenor. He does
very well.
AS usual, the more classical selec-
tions were we'll received, showing that
the part of Ell PasO's popu alton that
enjoys the higher order of music is of
sufficient size and influence to warrant
the band arrangements bearing this
fact in mind in making up the pro-
grams. The Lohengrin selection was
especially well received by many Ger
man citizens not few of whom came
to the plaza TO hear this particular
piece, and they all expires sed them
selves as delighte with it. This will
encourage Conductor Pitzer to put

Orders for transmitting machinery

export concern for prompt shipment to
southern Mexico. Shat ing, pulleys,
hangers, ETC., were the principal ar
ticles bought.
An unusual lot of good sized orders
were received yesterday from Mexico
by several of the leading export houses
identified with that trade. One firm
in Broad street, particularly, claims
that in iron tanks alone they will make
some good contracts the total of which
W II not fall short of $4,000 as the
tanks are for railroad use. Another
concern in Stone street has received a
large order for stationery which will
amount in value TO upwards of $4,000.
A firm in Pearl street, also in the
Mexican trade, claims that not only
yesterday, but last week, trade has
improved considerably and the orders
that are coming in demonstrate it.
Though their business is principally
provisions, they have received some
good sized orders for electrical material;
in telephone equipment, printing pres
ses and glass ware their trade has
been very satisfactory.-N. Y. Journal

Don kedZie PHILOSOPHERS.

The trip of the Christian Endeavor-
ers to California has had a most graft
flying and improving effect on the
morals of the wild and woolly west.
For years in California it has been con-
sidered quite the proper thing for a
man to elope with a neighbours wife,
and if he was able to do it without get
ting the top of his head blown off he
was considered a quiet hero. On the
eve of the arrival Of the Endeavorers q
Los Angeles man chartered Pullman
stateroOm and accompanied by q
friends wife went to San Francisco.
AS usual the papers devoted pages to
their escapade. On their arrival at
that great unroofed brCthel they met
with q most chilling reception. Not
wearing the famous CE badge they
were refused admission to hotel, and
to add insult to injury they were arrest
ed by an ordinary policeman on the
charge of adultery. Neither Mrs.
Bradbury nor fMr: Ward will ever
again elope to Christian Endeavor
town. Again. In Arizona it has al
ways been considered an inalienable
right possessed by all citizens to ''cuss
OUT an enemy. Last week, after this
Chri- tian Endeavor wave had swept
over the territory, two PhOeneciaps
had dispute and one of them proceed
ed to ''cuss Out'' the other. Did the
cursor get licked, or was he killed?
Neither, gentle reader. The city re-
cOrder simply sentenced him to twenty
five days in Jail for using profane Ian
guage. In New Mexico the only no.
ticed effect of the CE excursion is the
of a new marshal who will
