On The Rush.

Gentlemen" said the Montana
coroner, this is a case where the
deceased lying dead before you
was mistaken in his man. He sets
out to look for Steve Brady and
ill him with lead, but comes across
Sam Andrews instead and stops to
ask him what he'll take for the
cayuse he is riding. Sam sets a
price and they get into a row and
Bill Harper is shot dead.
There is no question in my
mind that had Bill found Steve, he
would have plunked him, and there
is no question but he was found by
Sam and got plunked himself, but
out of respect for the statoos made
and provided, it is my duty to in
form you that a verdict of rush of
blood to the head will be perfectly
satisfactory TO all interested par
ties -

children, Mexicans, from this city,
ran away from the Government
school at Chilococo, o. T., and re-
turned here, beating their way On

not seem much the worse for wear
when they reached here. They
came down by way of Fort Worth.
They were a part of a bunch Of
200 sent from here to Chilococo as
Indians, who proved to have no In

dered returned home; but they de-
cided to leave before the investiga-

Irrisatins with the SiphOn.

A good many onion growers
witnessed the siphon at work on
Capt. Tarver's onion field today
and were highly pleased with its
simplicity and the satisfactory work
it did. This siphon is but four
inches in diameter, made from a
galvanized tin stove pipe elbow,
and can be constructed in large
numbers at a cost of one dollar.
It's flow with ten inches of water
in the ditch was equal to 100
gallons a minute and any common
workman can start it to running in
FIVE seconds and stop the flow in
an instant.-Laredo Times.

TO HANG FOR A MONTH
Heroic Measures Adopted to Cure |
Broken Back.

Louisville, KY; Jan. 24.-For
the next month II. L. Smith, a
young man of Bertha, KY, will
hang suspended by straps in an
upright position in a hospital here
as part of the treatment he is to
undergo for a broken back. Smith
was injured in the coal mines at
Bertha. His back was broken at
the second dorsal vertebrae, an
injury that in % per cent of cases
proves fatal.
The operation is known as
lancinectony. He will be suspend
cd from a frame structure by
means of straps arranged under his
arms. Weights will be fastened to
his feet in order to keep his body
in the desired position.

the distribution of the waters of

Americans. The committee was
informed by Delegate Rodey of
New Mexico and Representative
Smith of Texas that the interests
they represented were favorable to
the bill.
Mr.. Rodey, however. did not
want any restrictions placed on the
use of the waters above the dam

RICE TO GERMANY.
Ten Thousand. Barrel Contract Nearly
Closed.

Beaumont, Tex. Jan. 24.-Ne-
gotiations for the sale of 10000
barrels of rough rice are about con-
summated between representatives
of the German export trade and the
Beaumont rice mills. The order
will be for immediate shipment and
the consignment will'be loaded at
either Port Arthur or Galveston.
The company is now arranging
for a steamer to carry the cargo,
which is likely to prove a forerun-
ner of a large export movement to
Germany and Holland. The fact
that it has been demonstrated that
rice can be shipped in the rough to
foreign markets at a profit is prov
ing a pleasant surprise to the mill
interests Of this section.

ALAMO BILL
Passed by the Senate Without a Dissent
ing Vote.

Austin, Texas, January "a. -
The Alamo purchase bill was en-
crossed and then passed finally by
the senate today by unanimous vote
of that body. 1t will go to the gov
ernor as soon as it can be enrolled,
and it is expected that be will
place his signature upon it soon
after it reaches his hands. The
final disposition of this bill by the
legislature is very gratifying to
those who have worked so long
and ardently to accomplish the de-
sired end.
The only material amendment to
the bill is one requiring that no
changes shall be made in the Ala
mo building except those which
are necessary for its preservation.

THE question of whether a
woman guilty of murder should be
hung is agitating this country at
present. In each of the states Of
Vermont and Pennsylvania a wo-
man has been sentenced to be hang
cd early in February, each of
them being convicted of horrible
murders. The governors of these
states are being beset with petitions
for executive clemency in the cases
OF these female convicts, and are
doubtless not a little troubled to
decide what would be the right
course to adopt. 1t seems a fearful
thing to hang a woman, no matter
how guilty she may be and 1t is to
be hoped that the two governors
may see their way clear to com.
mute the sentences of the two wo-
men.

III San Antonio should succeed
in her effort to gobble up the Gus
tom houses along the Rio Grande
border it would prove the first in
stance in which a custom house
was ever established over one hun
dred and fifty miles from any port
of entry. But San Antonio has
always been a grabber from grab
bersville. Laredo Times.
Congressman Slayden seems to
be taking a good deal of dish in
trying 10 centralize the customs
service at San Antonio, under the
guise of retrenchment in the gov
eminent service, and his efforts
arc being seconded by the treasury
department. Whether or not the
attempted removal of the custom
houses along the border will be
successful or not, is a question.
Congressman Slayden, of San Ans
tonic, made a spreadeagle speech a
few days ago, in which he called
attention to the great coast TO the
government of collecting very
small sums al different points and
called attention to Brownsville,
saving il costs the government
about $3.50 for every dollar collect
cd at this port. Mr.. Slayden may
know whereof he speaks, but THE
HERALD ventures the opinion that
San, Antonio will not gobble up all
the custom houses along the Dor
der, Notwithstanding the fact that
she nearly always gets what she
goes after. Of course economical ad-
ministration of government affairs
has been the slogan of the common
people for 10, these many years,
but it has been directed to chan
nels where useless expenditures
were known to exist, and not to
those avenues where these expen-
ditures are an absolute necessity.
The customs houses are an essen
tial to the government, and it is
difficult TO see just how they can
be dispensed with, or centralized
in a city 200 or 800 miles away,
Here's hoping San Antonio won't
get il, any way.
