The local ball tossers, being unable

three hours OF faithful practice.
There was no tagging during the en-

long drives in professional style.
About two hours were devoted to
batting practice, as the nine this year

were lobbed over the plate but series
of benders, slow and fast ones, were
sent at them, making a most satisfac

colts showed up in fine style, laying
out 8 few drives that could not have
been stopped by brick wall.

THE new ROAD
To Be Built From Kansas
City To Topolobampo On
The Mexican Coast
Sometime

| Ell Paso's chances for becoming
point on the new trsnscontinental Ka.-
sas City, Mexico & Orient railroad
jumped forward several points this
morning as result OF the brief stag
in this city of Arthur E. StillwelI, the
promoter and probable president of the
new line.
! Mr.. Stillwell Is the man who hiss
naie Kansas City in many ways what
it is. He is the man who organized
the far-reachipg Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Trust company, and 1t is he
| who conceived and successfully carried
out the idea of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railroad, the road which
made Port Arthur, and gave direct
line from Kansas City and tt north
west to the Gulf of Mexico. and con-
sequent outlet to the markets of Eu-
rope by route other than via the At
lantic seabCard.
When the news of tie proposed Kan.
sas City, Mexico and Orient railroad
WAS first flashed over the wires several
weeks ago. 1t was state1 tha. the line
might be built 2C0 miles to the south
OF Ell Paso, and that this city might not
be reached.
RECOGNIZED MIR. STILLWILL.
This morning, q friend of Mr.. Still
well was surprised, looking out of his
Office window, to see the form er Pitts
burg and Gulf president alight from
his carriage and enter the Pos tai Tele-
graph office. The ex-president NO
longer wore whiskers, and his friend
had difficulty at first in sreccgnizine
him.
When he did, he introduced himself
and insisted On taking Mr.. StillwelI
among the bankers duriug the few
minutes he had to spare before the de-
parture of his train.
In his talk with President Moore
head, OF the State National, he said,
'1s is hardly likely that Ell Paso would
be on the line of the new road. 1t lie
not exactly feasible.'
AS he talked further with REPRESENT
ative men about the proposed road and
about Ell Paso's prospects, he became
more enthusiastic over the city's fu-
ture, and evidently more and more i'm
pressed with the business men of Ell
Paso, aud finally he said. while talk
ing to Mr.. Stewart of the First Nation
al:
with such q progressive spirit and
such lively interest as you gentlemen
display, and with such q tendency to
become the southwestern city of the
future as 1 see in Ell Psso, do not we'll
see how we can leave it off the line of
the new road''
Mr.. Still we'll had no hesitanoy in say
ing be was going down to chihuahua
to make a careful personal investiga-
tion into the prospects there, and the
line of the Kansas City, Mexico & ORR
ent railroad, and he was just as frank
in saying that, while the great idea of
q line to the Mexican coast actuates
HMM this plsn, all was yst in EN- broyo.
Now Is the time and the opportunity
for the Cham Der of Com N erce," said
a member of that body this afternoon.
Mr.. Stillwell has seldom failed in auy
Undertaking he attempted to promote.
The general idea of this road is bound
20 go through, and the chance of

the wild mountains.
"When Leon had left Jesita's home,
he had passed the cross and FASTENED

violence. At each burst of thunder
his heart was relieved. The lightning
Quieted his spirits, while the furious
winds breathed baff1ed relief in his
ear. At last he reached the summit
Of the mountain near the cross, when
a fash Of lightning Illuminated the be-
nighted darkness, displaying a horri-
BILE sight to Icons view, for there on
the stones at the foot of the cross was
the figure Of a woman lying, her hands
about the base Of the rough wooden
emblem. He rushed forward as fast
as he could in the darkness. There
was a sudden lull in the storm, the
Quietude of which was oppressive. AS
he advanced his heart beats resound-

made vivid the black clouds. His
blood writhed in his veins, for he stood
before the cross. There lay the pros
