RULING PASSION.
Difficult to Stop Gambling on Railway
 Trains.

'Once in a while. when the commut- ing card players get going too swift said conductor on the New Jersey Central somebody makes a howl to the officials on the line and we have to slow down on all games until the storm is over. The men in the smoker don't like it but they have only themselves to blame. But if they don't play cards they gamble with something else I've seen them bet on the number of pass engers that would get out of the car at the next station and the number that would get on.
 But my greatest experience in that line was when l was on the Union Pac- fife. One day the order was handed out to stop all card playing on the trains. Some of the fellows were hop ping mad, but the presidents order went One evening four fellows got on with a cigar box and asked the brakeman to turn over seat so they could sit knees together.
 ! Tn the top. of the cigar box near the center was a small hole. Inside the box was a cockroach. The men took four Jumps of sugar and put one lump on each of the four corners of the box cockroach would tackle first when he came out Of the hole.
 Well, sir, everybody in the car just hunched around those men. Bets flew fast not only among the men who were playing but among bystOnders. When MT. Cockroach came out he seemed a little bit uncertain. Then he put out his feelers and suddenly made a dive for one corner of the box. There was a howl of delight among the men who had backed that particular corner. Then the men put him back in the box and made him do it all over again.
 That game was played five times in a forty mile run, and $500 changed hands on the result."-Chicago Jour nal

EASY WAY TO CURE cATARRH
Breathe Hyonei and Kill All Catarrhal Germs. Money Back If It Fails" Says H. Goodman.

There is no dangerous stomach drug ging when using Hyomei. The healing and aromatic balsams which compose this wonderful treatment are breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every g outfit.
 In this way the germ killing and health giving Hyomei penetrates to the remote cells of the lungs. It searches out and kills disease germs in the air passages of the head, throat and nose, soOthes and heals the irritated mucous membrane. and absolutely drives ca tarl't from the system.
 Such remarkable results have follow ed the use of Hyomei by the best peo- pie in Phoenix, that H. Goodman has the greatest confidence in its power to cure catarrh He believes in it so thoroughly that he will give his per sonaI guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure, the purchaser to be the sole judge.
 This is an unusual offer and the first time that any medicine or treatment for the cure of catarrh has been sold in this way. If it cures, the expense is trifinE, while if it fails, the cost is absolutely nothing
 If you are fortunate enough not to be troubled with, catarrh tell your friends of H. Goodmans offer and get them to take advantage of it.
 Are you going to the Calico Ball Tuesday evening. O'Neill hall, a great and good time for everybody. Com mittee of arrangements: A. $. Herz- berg. Rose Conwell. Mrs. R. J. Holmes.

Fernando Gleavecke a prominent
farmer and ranchman from Ana
cuitas IS III the city, and was a
caller at this Office today. Nh.
Gleavecke says he has been a res
ident at his present location since
1872, and during all that time had
never seen the water in the Arroyo
50 high before. His residence IS
five miles this side the Arroyo, and
the water came up to his house.
He cut his lake and allowed the
water to run into Laguua Larga,
otherwise he thinks It would
have gone into his house. Nh.
GIeavecke says the roads in some
places are fearful, the mud and
water being up to the axles.
At the rear Of \. Spero's store
there IS a grape vine. This as
sertion IS neither queer Dor start
ling, but wait a minute, while we
tell YOU about it. Some time ago
the vine had a magnificent crop of
grapes. Now, the second crop is
coming on, and a visit there will
show full grown, half grown and
grapes Just beginning to form.
THE HERALD does not know of
any other locality where grapes
make two crops during the season,
and this circumstance proves the
Brownsville section i, he most
productive of any section under
the SIN. This vine was planted
more than So years ago by Simon
Celaya, and Notwithstanding It's
age and the fact that Il has had 10
care, but allowed to thrive as best
il might, is producing its second
ciop of grapes this year, opens up
wonderful possibility for the pro-
duction of this splendid fruit should
up-to-date cultueral methods be
used in its cultivation Come to
the Brownsville country and verify
thou shalt prosper.

 It is possible that Is Simoucheng is evacuated it may be in pursuance of the above plan. and 1t is also possible in this case that General Stakelberg may get away north, but in any case his retreat with Oku hanging to his rear must be difficult operation, even with the railroad to help him.
 There was hope of further news from Russian sources regarding the pro- gross of today's battle. and crowds hung around the bulletin boards until 2 o'clock a. m., when finally they dis pcfsed, disappointed.

NORD ALARMS WHITES
PRESIDENT OF HAITI THREATENS
 THE FOREIGNERS.
Declares That They Have Raised the Rate of Exchange for the Pur- pose of OverthrOwing His
 Government.

Port Au Prince. Hayti. Aug. 1.--At a public reception today President Nord made an address which has alarmed the foreign residents. He accused the foreign population of plotting against his government. for the object of over throwing which they had put up the rate of exchange and also prices on all goods. The President said he had decided to defend himself and inti- mated that he would take strong meas- ures.
 President Nord made a threatening reference to what happened in Hayti in 1S04."
 The rate of exchange Is 600 per cent.
 In January, 1904. after the power of the French ceased in the island of Hayti. the independence of the island was proclaimed anh Jean Jacques Dess- alines was named Governor-General for life with full legislative powers and the right of appointing his successor Dessalines was a negro and had at one time been a slave. In March of 1894 he proclaimed the massacre of all the whites, calling upon his people to render war for war. crime for crime and outrage for outrage to the Flu ropean cannibals who have for so long preyed upon our race"
 As a result of this proclamation there was general massacre of nearly the whole of the whites, including aged men, women and children, numbering at the lowest estimate 2,500. The ne- groes then declared Dessalines Emper- or and in the following October he was crowned at Port Au Prince with the title of Jean Jacques I. In October 1S06 Dessalines was assassinated. after which the island was divided Into the Republic of Hayti and the Republic of Santo Domingo.
