II is probable that the volun-
teers Of the second call may not be
needed for active service in the

been issued it should be filed, No

Facts about Ouba,s Climate.

The weather bureau at Wash
ington has completed a valuable
treatise on the climate of Cuba,
which furnishes definite figures in
support OF the contention that the
bugaboo of the rainy season in
Cuba is largely imaginary. The
average temperature at Havana
une, July and August is only
81 degrees-the same as that at
New Orleans, and only seven de-
grees more than that at Washing
ton. In fact, Washington has hot
ter days than Havana ever has,
Havana's hottest is 100 degrees,
while Washington's is Io4 degrees,
The average yearly rainfall at
Havana is considerably less than
at New Orleans, being sI.73 inches.
against the Louisiana city's 90. So
inches. Even in the so-called rainy
season, which began with May and
will end with September, the rain
fall at Havana is only 3a.37 inches,
as against New Orleans a7 inches.
AS much rain frequently falls in
the dry season as in the so called
rainy season. The relative humid
ity Of the atmosphere appears to be
fairly constant and averages only
IS per cent. OF saturation.

Mr.. j. Mort Rothwell came down
from Dripping Springs Saturday and
tells THE RECORD that the work of re-
building at his resort has about been
completed. All the old houses were
torn away and splinter new ones
erected. The hotel proper has many
large, airy rooms, and broad verandas
extend around the entire building
Mr.. Rothwell has had ten carpenters
at work for some six or eight weeks,
and the work was pushed rapidly. He
has purchased new carpets and furni-
ture for the rooms, and no hotel will
be neater or better appointed than
WILDE famous old Dripping Springs.
Mrs Rothwell will have supervision

Badly Hurt.

Jas l Hamilton was seriously injur-
ed Tuesday night. He was in a buck
board with Tom Cecil and when near
Hubble drove to a watering trough.
Cecil got out and removed the bit so
the horse could drink. The animal
became frightened and Hamilton, not
knowing the bridal was loose, jerked
up the reins. The horse started to run
and Hamilton rolled out the back of
the wagon. He fell some distance and
struck his head on q rock. A deep
cash was cut in the back of his head
and he was rendered Unconscious He
was brought to town and physicians
worked with him all night The fall
was severe and blood ran from Mr..
Hamilton's ear nearly all night before
it could be stopped. At this writing
he is resting easy and the physicians
say he will recover. Mrs Hamilton,
who was visiting in Broadhead, was
telegraphed for and came on the night
train.

Unreasonable,

So far no arrangements have been
made for receiving the express and
mail off the night passenger trains.
The train service is excellent and, if
the officials will only have the express
and mail put of, they will soon find
that it will pay both departments
There is no night agent at the depot
and baggage is pitched off into the
darkness to lie there It'll day. At q
station of this size, it is hard to under
stand why this is allowed. Letters
have been written by shippers, bus
ness men and passengers and this
trouble will certainly be remedied
within few days. If the express peo-
pie only knew what a draw back this
negligence is to them, they would
make hot haste to remedy it.

Its This WaY.

When you ask an editor to suppress
an item of news because it does not
suit you, then go and ask your grocer
to exclude pickles from his store be-
cause you can't eat them, or your
butcher to quit keeping bologna be-
cause it goes against your stomach.
There is just as much fairness in one
as in the other. News is the editors
stock in trade. So are pickles to a
grocer and bologna to a butcher.
