There are Railroad Young Mems
Associations at the following Texas
towns: Texarkena, Smithv1lle and
Temple There was one also Cleburne,
but unfortun stely it was destroyed by
fire not long since. One Is now under
construction at Ennis. The buildings
are supplied with baths and library
and, In fact, are so pleasant and prof.
table that men who have no family ties
or homes find it one of the most pleas
ant places in the city.-San Antonio

Hot Water Cure for Train Robbers
New locomotives on the Denver d
Rio Grande are provided with nozzle
on the top of the tender, through
which the driver or fireman can d1recs
q stream of uperheated water, under
q steam pressure of 200 pounds. upon
any train robbers who may expose
themselves. There seems to be no
good reason why the new appliance
should not prove more efficacious than
q shotgun it will scatter more and
its ammunition will prove fully as
disabling and much more terrifying.
The mere knowledge of the presence
of the appliance cannot fall OF having
q sslutary and deterrent effect upon
outlaws. Minneapolis Times.

HERALD under date July Is:
Editor DAILY HERALD: On my re-
turn from Chicago, have been handed
your ed ,risl OF June Both entitled
1.-THE Railroads Our Best Friends" L
wish To thank you heartily for the nice
manner in which you speak OF Inc
ju-tice, etc OF the railroad men.
note you speak of "El Paso having
lost stso ding with the railroa DIS on &C.
.,"uab OF the scalping law not having
M enforced. That the chamber OF
commerce notified the railroads OF the
sntl-scalplng law whereupon the
cheap rates were put on etc., and
"You hoped the railroads would not
get the idea that Ell Psso is antaRonis-
tic in any way TO their peclal Interests
On account of the law not having been
enforced"
1 wish to say that while [ fully APP.
probate the effort of the cham Der OF
commerce to protect the railroads, this
company did not ask that any sucn
law should be passed, aud further the
IS. 90 rate was made by this company,
and thoroughly advertised long before
I heard of any such ordnance, and not
in an ticipation of any such ordinance,
but merely because l wanted to give q
rate that would take the people into
Ell Paso. and fully realized that 1t
would be good advertisement for Ell
Paso and Cioudcroft. and whatever
helps Ell Pase and CloudcrOft in any |
whatsoever, helps the Texas q |
Pacific. Ia other words, "our inter
este are mutual
1 also wish to cay that certain other
line did not make the low $500 rate
until they had exhausted every means
in their power in an attempt to have
ne Withdraw my S5 90 rate and failed:
and l do not understand what you
mean by saying that The L. & T.
introduced the cheap rate
while the G. h g. S. A. went them
,ne better" They gave more ride for
heir money by making tickets good
Tia Galveston, etc.
l an more than pleased with the
EXCELLENT manner in which Ell Paso
ID tertaiped the vast CROWD, in fact the
vhole thing was grand success from
beginning to END, and is worth thou
ands of dollars to Ell Paso and the Il.
