BROWNSVILLE.
There is probably no other
town in the United States as
large as Brownsville and pos
sessing such numerous natural
advantages which is as yet
without rail communication
with the outer world. With a
population of nearly 1000, sur
rounded by lands fully equal of
fertility TO the famed valley in
The Nile and blessed with a
most saIubriops climate, this
place lacks only a railroad
outlet to make ii Que Of the
most important cities in Texas:
Aud there is every reason why
a railroad shonld be construct
ed to this point. Fesides the
city OF Brownsville itself, there
lis located here tie important

BUTTE News.
A VIGOROUS OPPOSITION
Seventy-Five Contractors Op-
posed to the Association.
THE BUILDING SITUATION
Methods Said to Be Employed by the
Exchange in Demanding a Certain
Per Cent. of the Contract
Price, Denounced.
THE BUILDING SITUATION

There Is vigorous opposition to the
Silver Bow Builders exchange. 1t ap-
pears that exception has been taken to
the methods adopted by the exchange
with reference to its claims that it en-
bodies in it's membership the simon pure
craftsmen of the city. 1t is clearly evil
dent that there are many contractors in
Butte who honestly believe that they
are capable and competent in every way
to erect building from the excavation
right up and through the highest point
on the roof, and that these contractors
are proud of the distinction that they
are what they are pleased to term non
associationists," that is, they do not BE-
long to the organized exchange.
A few nights ago a number of these
contractors met and appointed commit
tees to draft resolutions and to inter
view building contractors with the view
of meeting again to discuss the build
ing outlook in Butte. Last night the
second meeting was held and there were
% contractors, including plumbers, car
penters, bricklayers and stone masons,
present. 1t was stated at the meeting
lndL tueIe are luUS 10 CONTRACTORS IN
Butte who hold similar views in regard
to the exchange.
M. J. Joyce acted as chairman of the
meeting. He stated that it was not
the desire of those present to place
themselves on record as being an as
ISOLATION or union, but rather to create
the impression that they opposed union
of forces or amalgamation. They were
independent contractors, ready and fu;-
ly equipped to figure on the construc-
ton of any kind Of a building that
might be under contemplation in this
city. They employed none but union
workmen and could give bonds for the
faithful performance of any work as
signed to them. He also referred TO
the printed statement of the exchange
to the effect that it was practically
master of the building situation in
Butte.
Mr.. Kruger, representing the plu NIB
ers not in sympathy with the exchange,
was opposed to the methods employed
by the exchange. He said that he was
able to figure on work with any one,
regardless of the association of men

WANTS HIM UNDER BONDS.
Hawkes. Alleges That DIR. Weyerhorst
Threatened His Life.

A complaint asking that DR.. Joseph
Weyerhorst be placed under bonds to
keep the peace was filed in Justice
Harrington's court yesterday. The COM
plainant was Charles F. Hawkes., who,
in his affidavit, alleged that DR.. Wey-
erhorst made and uttered threats
against the life of this affiant, then
and there stating in a threatening man.
ner, L will kill YOU and accompanied
his threat with physical action denot-
ing his intention to carry said threat
into effect"
The complaint grew out Of the recent
fire in the Weyerhorst block, which is
leased to Hawkes.. The plastering was
damaged, but not wholly ruined, and
Dr. WeyerhOrst a few days ago set
plasterers to work to make repairs
Hawkes. wanted all new plastering, and
proceeded to take a stick and knock
off the old plastering. DR.. Weyerhorst
objected and when Hawkes. refused to
desist the doctor got his gun.

Boldest Operators on Wall Street Drinl
Deem and Often

Deep and Often.
New York Correspondence of the Pitts
burg Dispatch.
Do Wall street men drink? is question
frequently asked. and the answer is
yes from the biggest man in the street
to the smallest Spectator. Many of the
more noted bankers and brokers never
touch a drop until after business hours,
but there are men of great consequence in
the whirlpool of speculation who cannot
decide which way the cat Is going to
jump unless they have gazed into the bot
tom of several glasses that have been fill
ed with "a little of the same" And there
are many who have not the courage to in
vest unless Jagged" There are numerous
instances where men have won fortunes
by taking drink, and on the other hand,
that same drink has cost not only for
tunes, but regulations. A handsome ma
jority of Wall street men drink. Few
drink to excess. Those who never touch
a drop are the conservatives. The bold,
fearless operators are half drunk all the
time.

ed in the arrest of Andrew Roush for

Green. 1t appears that Green had
had difficulty with one of the gang
and when they all met at the wood
market yesterday about noon, threat
ened to thrash the one he did not like,
accompanying his threat with some vile
epithets. Roush thought there was no
occasion for his conduct and told him
to let the man alone. Green then turn

he could lick him, too. Roush said he
might try it if he felt disposed, and
Green advanced. Roush pulled out a
pocket knife and cut Green under the
left arm and on one hand. Green was
very slightly hurt.

A Deputy Sheriff Called In to Quiet the

There was trouble in the home of the
Fishers again yesterday and Deputy
Sheriff Evans was called on to quiet the
fighting pair. Fisher accused his wife
of having violently broken the pledge
she made before Judge Clancy not to
get drunk any more and he wanted the
officer to take the children away from
her and send them to the poor house.
Fisher also said she had pawned a lot
of her clothing with salodhkeepers for
drink and that he had to hunt them up
and take them out of pawn. Mrs.
Fisher, on the other hand, said her hus-
band was a brute and she was afraid
he would beat her. The deputy sheriff
gave the pair some good advice and

for the United States senate in 1896.
Ten years before that Mr.. Harris was
nominated for congress by the repub-
icans, but was not elected. In 1876 he
was elected member of the state sem
ate and for four years was busy in that
body, chiefly as a reformer of statutes.
Since 1886 he has been prominent
figure on the republican stump, al
though he has not sought Office for him
self. Mr.. Harris was born in Wayne
county in 1910 and was educated at the
Northwestern university. Choosing the
law for his profession, he was admitted
to the bar and soon formed an advan-
tageous partnership. His large ability
and his extreme care in the preparation
of his cases brought him into conspicu-
Gus prominence, and when such great
lawyersas Hendricks, Mcdonald, Baker,
Butler and Hurd were disposed to re-
linquish their practice much of it
passed to Mr.. Harris as sort of natural
succession. The new minister to Aus
tria is highly polished gentleman, a
cultured scholar and one who is espe-
cially fitted for the important post he
is to occupy by his deep knowledge of
international law and history in gem
eral. He is powerful orator, is in the
prime of his mental vigor, and high
type of American manhood.
