advice by Just buying s1.00 bottle of
Wine Of Cardui from her druggist and

Matam0ros Railroad
Work Being Pushed.
The National Railroad Stockholders
Believe the Heroic City Will
Be Leader in Exports.
Mexican Herald:

Captain W. G. Raoul, president
Of the National, thawed out by the
gentle sunshine of Nuevo Leon and
made amiable by an unmarried
trip to the north, unbended some
what recently from his laudable re-
solve never to open his mouth in
the presence of an odious newspa-
per man, and relieved himself of the
following concerning the future
policy of the road and the possible
ties of consolidation:
Mr.. Raoul disclaimed all knowl-
edge of the future movements of the
stockholders controlling the Nation
al and International, with reference
to consolidation, and stated that
in so far as he knew, the joining of
the two roads with the Interoceanic
was as far from fruition as ever.
He said that the tai / of a merging
had gone no furthef than to a con-
templative stage. 1t was not impos-
sible, according to him, that such a
combination might eventually be
for med but at present there was lit
tie leaning that way.
Speaking of the Monterey Mata-
moros branch, Mr.. Raoul said that
1t gave the National an outlet both
into the States and into a seaport
that has long been wanted. The
present route OF the road by way of
Laredo was sufficient to give close
connection and quick time to the
middle and western States, but the
National wanted a direct route to
the eastern part of the United
States, which is gained by the ex-
tension. Mr.. Raoul believes that
Matamoros will soon become one of
the leading export cities OF the re-
public and said it was gratifying
to the National stockholders to
know that they owned the only
connecting route into the city.
Mr.. Raoul will be absent for sew

RICE BELT SURVEYORS.
Two Parties in the Field Working
in Both Directions.
Galveston News:


Angleton, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE
building of the Rice Belt Railway
can now be accepted as fact if the
action of the people behind it
denotes anything, for they have
gotten down to business. Two sur
veying parties are now in the field.
They started out from Port Lavaca
last Monday, one outfit surveying
west toward San Patricio county,
and the other party coming east,
toward Bay City, Angleton and
Galveston.
The company has also placed
agents in the field in each county
through which the road is to run to
procure deeds to the right of way.
These deeds have already been
printed and are in the hands of
the agents. 1t is said that Col.
Thos. E. Douthit apd DIR. w. V.
Ezell are the agents here.
The Rice Belt is under contract
with the construction company to
secure all right of way, depot
ground and bonuses by the first
day of December, 1908, and the
contractors are under bond to begin
actual work of construction not
later than ten days thereafter.
The Rice Belt people realize the
importance of completing the road
at the earliest possible date, and
Judge Ewing Masterson, general
attorney and representative of the
road in Angleton, says they will
not take advantage of the time
limit, which gives until July /,
1905, for the completion of the road,
but will work for an early compile
ton.
1t is generally believed from best
information obtainable that John
ston Bros. OF st. Louis are the con-
tractors, though the company has
not made this public. This firm is
building the Lott road, the St. Louis.
Brownsville & Mexico. MANY
think, and not without reason, that
the Rice Belt will become a part of
the Lott system.

COL. URIAH LOTT
AT CORPUS CHRISTI.

Corpus Christi, Texas, September
l7.-Colonel Ur;ah Lott, president
OF the St. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico road, is in the city and
may remain until after the meeting
of the stockholders of the road which
will be held here next Wednesday.
Col. Lott is wearing an "rll get there
first" smile and seems highly elated
over the progress being made by his
road towards Brownsville. The
graders are now stretched out for
distance of forty-one miles from
Robstown south and will shortly
finish that section of the grade.
Ties are being delivered by the
trainload at Robstown and rails
will be arriving in about three
weeks, when rack-laying will begin
and be pushed as fast as possible.
