With wise foresight and liberali-
ty which the management of other
roads might emulate with profit TO

the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway early in the season Inaugural
ted a system of cheap excursion rates
both to the health resorts of the
northwest and the pleasure points on
themselves as well as their partons,
the cost where they can be con-
tinued for some weeks, thus enabling
our citizens to spend a few days from
the city at a very small eX-
pense and without serious if any in
reference with their business or pro-
fessional pursuits. Thus far this
generous offer of the management has
been literally seized upon by our citi-
zens to enjoy a few days or a weeks
outing, and they should continue to
avail themselves of it, for 60 more

be devised to enjoy a brief rest and
needed recreation and break the mo-

The people of San Antonio, as well
as those residing along the line of
the road, owe much to Col. Monser-

passenger agent, and Mr.. George f.
Lupton, his Invaluable assistant, for
their untiring efforts to furnish the
very best possible service to the public
consistent with safety and security.
The Arkansas Pass railway has assur-
edly earned the good will and support
of the people of San Antonio, and they
should evidence their appreciation by
extending to it every dollar of their
patronage they can bestow. II.

RAINS PROMISED.
TODAY We GET SHOWERS SAYS
THE LOCAL OBSERVER.
Rains Have Fallen Throughout The State
In a Very Peculiar Manner This
Year-Local Record.

The local weather forecast: Snow-
ers Sunday
The forecast promises rain for San
Antonio today and the prospects are
very favorable for such.
The drouth has been broken almost
all over the state in the past few
weeks by good rains. A popularity
of the rainfall at present is the man.
ner in which it visits the country, on
~ raining in small localities at the
same time.
1t is usually the case when a long
drouth is broken that the rainfall is
very general, falling almost all over
the state at the same time, usually ac-
| companied by a severe storm, but
such is not the case at present.
The drouth has been as usual this
summer, but has been broken, as
physician gives calomel-in broken
doses-the rains falling in one section
of the country over a small scope of
territory and then jumping to anoth-
er part of the state.
However, in this manner the drouth
has been pretty well broken all over
the state and crops are doing well,
according to all reports.

it also fell in the central vaneys and

FavOrite Railway Line.
Rockport, Aug. 14.-Among all the
factors which contribute to San An
tonio's prosperity, none assuredly are
or have been more potent toward pro-
noting the pleasure and profit of her
citizens than the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway. Essentially
a local enterprise, at least in its in
.ception, the management of the road
under the efficient superintendent of
Col. NJ. d. MOnserrate has always
been en- rapport with the interests of
the people and of the city, and what
ever plan or policy could contribute
or conduct to the pleasure and profit
of the one and the prosperity of the
other has met with the hearty cooper
alton of Col. Monserrate and his able
and courteous associates and subordn-
ates. Other railroads have promised,
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass has
performed. Therein lies the broad
distinction and the very conspicuous
difference between the sap" and
the other lines entering the city.
A trip over the line of the AranSas
Pass will prove a revelation as we'll
as an instructive and interesting
study. Westward, it traverses a Sec
ton whose beauty and picturesque
ness rival that of the famed scenes Of
Switzerland, while its bracing and IN
ling ozone brings the blessings of ro-
bust strength and vigor to the weak,
the ailing and the afflicted. A short
stay amid the healthful surroundings
of BOerne, Comfort or Kerrville soon
restore the roses to the wan cheek.
elasticity to the tired step, sweet
sleep to the overworked brain and
peace and contentment to the anx

ocean bathing can be enjoyed with all
the comforts which distinguish the
most famous seaside resorts, and
where those so inclined can angle to
their hearts content for the silver
king tarponn and smaller species of
the finny tribe.
Eastward, the line of the Aransas
Pass to Houston, with branch ex-
tending from Yoakum to Waco, psne-

4 GIRL DECLARED INSANE.

Bessie WhitecottOn. the sixteen
year-old daughter of Mrs. S. c. White
cotton, was adjudged insane in the
Probate court yesterday. The affida-
Wit was made by Mrs. WhitecOtton
and she testified that her daughter
was lost from home about two years
ago and that her mind has been de-
ranged ever since. She said she could
not manage her and believed she
ought TO be placed under restraint
The testimony also showed that she
has tried 10 kill herself. The girl is
of very modest appearance and the
mother wept as she testified as to her
daughters mental condition. 1t was
a sad scene and sympathetic express
sions were heard on all sides. The girl
was tried last October and declared
insane, but was taken out of the asy-
lum by her mother, who believed she
had sufficiently recovered to take care
of her, and of late her condition grew
worse.
