CIGARETTES ARE DANGEROUS
They Caused TWO Fires Along the
Mexican Central Railway Late


cit is a. wonder to me-" said travel
ing man this morning. that railroad
companies do not experience more
trou bic from the effects of reckless CT
garette smokers then they do. A short
time ago the platform of the Juarez de-
pot caught fire from cigarette being
thrown under the platform. Not a
week later l was in chihuahua one
windy day when the depot caught fire
in the same indentical way. An in
dividual carlessly threw his half con-
sumed cigarette drought q crack in
the depot platform and in a comparati-
vely short time it.looked as If the build
ing would be consumed.
sit WAS daylight and the flames were
soon discovered and exiting uished but,
had it been under any other circum-
stances, the building would have been
destroyed.
II think it would be good idea for
people to look around them before they
throw cigarettes away"

NOW is THE TIME.
A Union Depot Should Be ConstruC-
ted at OnCe-The Idea Should
Be Talked Up BY Our Business
Men,

"Now is the time to do some heavy
work." said business man this morn
ing. "With the destruction of the
Mexican Central DEPOT comes the idea
of a union depot. The Santa Fee, the
Mexican Central, the r. G. S. M. & P.
ana the Texas & Pacific roads should
get together and construct a fine union
depot. They would be able to secure
very beautiful site in the vicinity Of
the Santa Fe depot and I believe that
if the town took the necessary interest
the roads mentioned above would get
together and build a large depot.
United action on the part of the rest of
roads would would force the Southern
Pacific to get into line and we would
have union depot that we could be
proud of.
"The depot destroyed last night WAS
by far the best in this portion of the

to work. Hundreds of people stood
around the burning structure as il
gradually faded away in toe flames and
rs late as six o'clock this morning some
of the people who first appeared on the
scene were still watching the smoking
remains.
The fire originated in the west side

She was attracted by the smoke and
Immediately gave the alarm and u
crowd of anxious people soon sur
rounded the building, but they were
unable to do anything in the way of
suppressing the flames.
News of the fire spread rapidly on
this eide of the river and many were
awakened by the tirebell. From any
point on South Ell Paso street the flames
from the burning building could be seen
shooting high into the air and & great
crowd took advantage of this oppor-
tunity while others who were more
curious, went across the river so as to
take advantage of all there were to be
seen.
Cn several occasions when q blaze

1t was given out that the Mexican Cen

first news of the fire reached tois side
this morning there were many who
would not believe that the depOs was
in flames.
How the fire originated still seems to
be mystery. Superintendent Hart
man is in the vicinity of Torreon and
IL seems as If no one has the authority
to state the possible cause of the con-
hsgrstiou until he returns.
The building was constructed 10
years ago at cost of $40, 600 and all
that remains now are the adobe walls
which were viewed by thousands of
pc ople today. The opinion expressed

Gov. BENTON MCMILLIN
was inaugurated Monday
with appropriate ceremonies.
His speech was impromptu,
lasting about thirty minutes.
He thanked Gov. Taylor for
kind words in introducing
him, and wished for him
great happiness. He express
ed his sense of the great hon.
or and responsibility assumed
and added that his task would
be hopeless but for the help
of the Legislature. He spoke
briefly of the members of the
General Assembly, and APP
pealed to them to do their
duty, and assured them that
the people of Tennessee
would hold up their hands.
He renewed his allegiance
to the pledges of the Chatta-
nooga platform, and declared
again for retrenchment and
reform. He paid a warm tri-
butte to our form of govern
ment, the patriotism of those
who established it, and then
eulogized Tennessee, herpeo-
pie, her history and her re-
sources. He closed his speech
with the statement that he
would submit his message to
the General Assembly within
a few days.

Congressman Carmack OPP
poses Imperialism.

In the House of Representatives,
OH Tuesday, Jan. 18th, Hon. E. w {.
Carmack, representative from the
Tenth Congressional District of
Tennessee, delivered a carefully pre-
pared argument in opposition to the
policy of the Administration relative
to the Philippines. He protested
against launching this government
on a career of conquest and crimi-
nal aggression. The President, he
declared, was waging war upon his
own responsibility, for his own pur-
pose. While the war against Spain
had been blessed of God, this war
for the conquest of the Philippines
was a crime against liberty and the
curse of God was upon it. II revo-
lutionized every tradition of the re-
public. 1t was being entered upon
thoughtlessly and recklessly, with
out considering the cost. 1t was in
utter contempt of the solemn warn
ings of the greatest and the wisest
of our statesmen. The flag was to
be kept floating over the Philippines
but not a single freeman was to
stand beneath its folds. A country
that was not fit for a freeman's
home was not fit for a freeman's
flag.
He spoke Of the tremendous cost
distant possessions would entail
upon US, drawing his conclusions
from the countries of Europe. Eng
land, he said, spent one-third of her
revenue for the cost of past wars,
and one-third in preparing for flu
ture wars. Only one third was ex-
pended to meet the current necessi-
ties of government. But more than
the monetary cost, he said, would
be the loss of our sense of security
and peace of mind. War would
threaten US constantly, and to meet
it we would have to be armed to the
teeth on sea and land.
Once a nation tasted of colonial
empire it became a passion. The
was never satisfied. Yet
one of the worlds greatest men
had declared that colonial empire
had never been a source of power
to any country. McCauley affirm
ed it. Lord Beaconsfeld declared !
that England's colonies were a mill
stone around her neck.

'Every honest man who runs for
office is a candidate for trouble, for

as a candidate. He is like a mari
ner without a compass, drifting on
the tempest tossed waves of uncer-
tainty between the smiling cliffs of
hope aud the frowning crags Of
fear. He is a walking petition and
a frOwning prayer; he is the hack
horse of public sentiment; he is the
drOmedary Of politics. And even
if he reaches the goal of his ambi-
ton, he will soon feel the beak of
the vulture in his heart and the
fang of the serpent in his soul. l

CUBA's p1T1FUL STATE.
CrOps-Business Dull-Little
Money Circulating.

New York, Sept. 19.-W. w. Howard,
general manager of the Cuban indus
trial relief fund, who has recently re-
turned from Cuba, says:
Cuba is in pitiful state. Instead Of a rainy
season Cuba has had drought Not
since 1874 has there been such long continued
dry weather during the summer. The result
has been disastrous. The United States
weather bureau reports that all small crops
have been ruined. Sugar cane has been SO
damaged that the crop next year will be less
than the crop ground this year. The most dis
treSSing feature of the drought is the deStruc-
ton Of the corn crop.
Business in the cities is desperately dull The
hotels are empty. restaurants are idle and all
small affairs are lifeless. Large business con-
Germs are scraping along as best they may. in
the hope that the future of the island may be
definitely settled. The gradual withdrawal Of
the American troops has materially lessened
the amount Of the money in circulation. The
hectic flush of unreal prosperity which many
persons mistook for genuine prosperity has died
out. There can be no return Of prosperity in
Cuba until the farmers have been helped back
to their homes.
Anyone who denounces the Cubans q dirty,
lazy, worthless people is guilty of SANDER.
Anyone who asserts that the Cuban will not
work speaks without knowledge of the subject.
CubanS come to our relief farms in swarms to
beg for days work. Not one has yet come to
beg for food. Our relief farms are giving sup
port wholly or in part to about $50 persons, OF
whom about 600 are dependent women and chill
