THINKS 1T LOOKS GOOD
Chihuahua Paper Has Something To
Say About the New Road

About the new K. G. to the Coast
railroad the Chihuahua Enterprise
has this to say:
The visit of Sidney A. Withersbee, of
Detroit, to this city this week and the
return of Treasurer Schley and Olive
Paine. of the chihuahua 81 Pacific
railway, give considerable color to q
surmise made recently by the Enter
prise that this city would be on the
main line of the proposed great rail
way from Kansas City to the bay of
Topolobampo.
Withersbee is known to be interest
ed with Promoter Stillwell in the great
have the concession for the Mexican &
Western railway. extending west from
Presidio del Norte on the Rio
Grande. Colonel Owen, who
Is interested in the establishment of
colonies on the western coast near the
bay of Topolobampo, was also in Chi
hushua this week and the party went
out over the line OF the Q 81 P railway
on an inspection tour. The visit of
these gentlemen following so soon on
the announcement of the building of
the transcontinental line certainly has
significance bearing on some sort of a
deal to bring the Chihu ahua & Pacific
railway into railway combination. 1t
does not necessarily follow thst q con-
solidation is certain to be fact, but as
a G. g. P. official admits, SIT looks
strikingly like something Is in the
wind" The Enterprise ia willing to
venture, at least, that negotiations are
being carried on looking to bringing

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Their Annual Picnic May Be Held
This Year at the Alameda
Grounds Near Las CruCes-Ad-
vdntdges And Disadvantages OF
the Grounds.

Justice J. M. Ellis and A. Solky
spent Sunday in Las Cruces looking
over the grounds for place to hold
the annual picnic of the knights of
Labor. They were appointed a sub
committee to attend to this m after and
examined several locations between
Ell Paso and Las Cruces. They found
several very good locations, but they
were all a mile or two from the rail-
road and were therefore out of the
question. The best one found is known
as the Alameda, about a mile north of
the depot at Las Cruces and only very
short distacce from the track.

THE SIERRA MADRE EXTENSION

If 1t Comes 1t Will Probably Be
Through the Cooperation OF the
Sierra Madre Owners With the
pheIps-Dodge People Who Are
Planning a Road South From
Bisbee.
There is no doubt that the Sierra
Madre party of surveyors who recently
went over the line of the proposed
westward extension found some very
rough country. In fact it is said that
it would be matter of three to five
millions to get to the Nacossri district,
although good part of the way would
be easy building.
1t is not to be expected that the Or
binary tonnage of a coal and ore road
would justify this outlay. But if q
great to image were guaranteed from the
first the thing would pay.
The Phelps-Dodge people have been
figuring for long time on building a
road from Bisbee to their great mine
near Mac osari. At this time S36, O0O,-
900 worth of medium and low grade
ores of copper and silver lie in sight.
Coal is not very far Off. in good veins.
BUTT is said tn at the road from Bisbee
would be very costly, and besides-it
would run to Bisbee, and what then
There'd be the Southern Pacific to
pay.
Now if the Sierra Madre people can
make q deal with the owners of the big
copper mine, and can get hold of the
coal, che Phelps-Dodge people may
help in building from Nacosari into
Casas Grandes or Corraiitos. A fine
tonnage would be assured from the
start. and the mining districts of east
ern Sonora would have an air line out
let to Ell Paso, the terminus of seven
railroads, three of them competing for
eastern business.

THE PARTING FROM LIFE.
Nature Sees to 1t That Death IL
Nearly AlyyayS PafnIeaR

Nearly Always Painless.
Death is nearly always painless. Man
dies generally from the cessation of the
hearts functioning, whatever the more
remote cause may have been. The nerve
cells may have ceased to act, the muscles
may have been worn out or the heart
may have been directly attacked by
acute or chronic disease. But in any case
want of oxygen is the determining factor
except in the case of poisoning with prus-
sic acid, in which case the whole body is
dead before the heart ceases to beat.
In every other case the cessation Of the
hearts action comes first, the general
death of the body afterward. Before
the heart ceases to function conscious
ness ceases. Even in the most awful
death known, death by burning, mortal
ity is rendered painless at an early stage
by suffocation. 1t is the first moment
of experience of the heat that Is SO ter
rible. We think in imagination that we
could never endure it and wonder how
martyrs faced it with such calm.
But, apart from their state Of spiritual
ecstasy, their sufferings were soon mer-
cifully ended by nature herself, which
appears to set very real limits to physical
torture. Thus Livingstone when seized
by lion tells US that he felt little pain
or apprehension, while DR.. Alfred Russell
Wallace asserts that the seeming TRACE
dies of animate nature, such as the killing
Of birds by beasts of prey. are not at all
so awful as they appear in our magma
ton.
We see with painful vividness the out
ward fact. but we do not see the merciful
anodyne furnished by nature. So is it at
a deathbed. The observers see the clam
my brow, the gasping for breath. the rig
or mortis, sometimes the contorted fea-
tures-al1 painful to behold. But. with
perhaps the exception of the difficult res
piration, the dying man knows nothing of
this, and before he has actually expired
nature has given him q relief which the
dearest friend or most skillful physician
could not have impaired. There are also
forms of death in which long before death
arrives the will to live" has ceased, the
patient resigns himself. and life gradually
sinks to a vanishing point, Thus death

A country clergyman called on Henry

about what to do with persons who go to

become quite prevalent in his congrega-
ton. Mr. Beecher listened very atten-
lively. admitted that it was serious and
then said: when 1 first came to Plym-
outh church, thought about this
problem. and I will tell you about the
course decided upon. The sexton was
given strict orders that IL he saw any
person asleep in my congregation he
should at once go straight into the pulpit
and wake up the minister"
