A Place of Much Interest.

A Press representative had the
pleasure of being shown through
the establishment of the Concho
Bottling e. Manufacturing Co.
one day this week, and most in.
teresting place it is.
There are many details in u
bottling works. There are more
in n candy factory. And every
one of them are highly impor-
tant TO the consumers of these re-
freshments.
To begin with is the method of
making syrup. The purest white
sugar made is used by Mr. Mat
thews in his manufacturing of
syrup for use in his beverages.
The old method of mixing sugar
and water and stirring has been
discarded and a "perculator" in
stalled. Sugar is placed therein,
water poured over it and allowed
to perculate through two thick
nesses Of heavy cloth. The re-
sun Is q syrup as clear as crystai
and as sweet as honey.
The Concho Bottllng Works
also manufactures very fine
pure apple vinegar. Apples are
shipped here by the carload from
Arkansas and made into the very
purest of vinegar.
The candy factory is in charge
of Mr.. Quimby a veteran candy
maker of 35 years experience.
Here is manufactured all favors
of pure sugar stick candy, as well
as peanut, popcorn, pecan and
cocoanut candy, lemon and hore-
hound drops and assorted nut
filled butter cups
The products of the Concho
Bottling IL Manufacturing Co.
are for sale at almost every gro
Gerry store in town.

RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
Had Three Meetings-Much Discus
sion on the Important Question,
Whether or No to Extend Time
of Contract With K. c. NJ. &

committee 10 StlWeh.
The railroad committee con-
sisting of about fifteen of the
leading business men of San AN
CELLO, DR. J A. March, chairman,
have held three meetings since
Saturday trying to decide what to
do in regard to extending the
time in the contract with the
X. G. NJ. e. o. r. r. Is months.
These meetings we're brought
about by Mr. r. l.. McCauley, of
Sweetwater, the object of his
visit being to obtain the above.
The meetings consisted of general
discussions, each one giving his
opinion of the situation.
AT the meeting Saturday even
ing telegram was read by Hon.
J. G.. Murphy from President A.
Il. Stilwell in Kansas City to Mr..
r. l.. McCauley at Sweetwater, in
which Mr., Stilwell promised (if
the committee extend the time
in contract eighteen months) to
expend 100000 the first six
months in grading between San
Angelo and Sweetwater, to have
the grade complete in twelve
months, and to have the track
laid in eighteen months.
A telegram to the Walker
Smith Co. from railroad man in
Ft. Worth advised San Angelo
not to grant On extension to the
X. G. NJ. g. o., stating that an
other railroad could be gotten in
the same length of time.
1t was finally decided Saturday
as the prospects of the coming Of
the Orient had brought a good
many prospectors to San Angelo
and helped the town in other ways
that committee be appointed
t. write a personal letter to Mr..
Stilwell, stating every fact in the
case and to make contract with
HIM plainly, to do what was said
in his telegram to Mr.. McCauley.
G. +. Hudson suggested that
the way to confer with Mr.. Still
we'll, he thought would be to
send committee TO Kansas City
and talk to him, not write.
This was over ruled at this
meeting and committee con-
sisting of Geo. J. Bird, A. J.
Baker, George f. Webb, G. +.
Hudson and II. G. Wynn were
appointed to draft letter to Mr..
Stilwell. The meeting then
adjourned.
The second meeting of the com.
mittee was the result of many
citizens disliking the idea OF
writing to Mr.. Stilwell. At the
meeting Monday morning it was
not wholly decided which to do
send committee to talk with
Mr.. Stilwell or to let the commit
tee appointed write him. The
committee was only in short ses
sion Monday morning, so another
meeting was held Monday after
noon.
At this meeting it was unani
mously decided that the best way
to come to quick and decisive
agreement with Mr.. Stilwell was
for committee to have a person
al talk with him. 1t was movec
and seconded that a committee o.
two be. appointed, the appoint
ments to be left with the chair
man, DR.. March. Col. A, J
Baker and Mr.. G. +. Hudson were
appointed by DR.. March, and they
will leave for the north as sool
as O convenient meeting can b.
arranged with Mr.. Stilwell.
The Press feels sure that TIN
gentlemen chosen for the mission
are the ablest to perform it, ant
that we will hear the whistle of
X. c., M. & o engine at the en'
of eighteen months.

Bemidji Man Receives a Coffin On
Christmas.

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 4.-E. L. Nay
lor of Bemidji received a gruesome
New Years present. 1t was a coffin,
and a measurement of it discloses the
fact that it is a perfect fit.
1t was shipped to him by express
from Fergus Falls, and Mr.. NaylOr
does not know whether the coffin was
joke Or carries with it a covert
threat of some unknown enemy. On
the outside of the box was a card
with the following inscription:
"Perishable: should be used at once
Within was another card on which
was written the compliments of the
season, and the donor expressed the
hope that this day, probably mean
ing New Years would be the recipients
last.
Mr.. NaylCr is at a loss to explain the
motive for the repulsive gift. Thousa
he does not connect it with any N
tended malice he is nevertheless ner-
vous and intends to investigate the
matter fully.

During the next few weeks expert

LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS
WILL NOT TAKE UP PRO-
POSED AMENDMENTS.
Commission Will Make Second and
Final Report to President Roose-
welt in Short Time.

WASHINGTON, Jan. General
legislation amenjatory of the United
States land laws is not looked for at
this session of congress, in the opinion
of those WHO have been following this
subject for the past two winters. This
will mean that efforts looking to the
repeal of the timber and stone act, and
of other acts under which it is sail
gross frauds have been perpetrated in
taking up public lands will have to be
renewed next year, when the fifty
ninth congress assemblies for the long
session.
Hope of the repeal of the timber and
stone act went glimmering when the
house committee on public lands. by
a decisive vote. decided to postpone
indefinitely the consideration of the
Hansbrough bill. which passed the
senate last winter. providing for the
repeal of the timber and stone law
and placing the disposal of timber on
public lands in the hands of the secre-
tary of the interior.
This bill was introduced as a result
of the recommendation made by the
land commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, consisting of Commits
sioner Richards of the general land Of
flee, Clifford Pinchot, chief of the for
estry bureau, and F. H. Newell, chief
engineer of the reclamation service.
The repeal of the timber and stone act
was urged as necessity if the water
supply of the country was to be con-
served, and the comparatively small
supply of timber in the west is to be
preserved from destruction.
Senator HansbrOugh pushed the
measure through the senate, and he
and other friends of this legislation
hoped that it would go through the
house at this session, but admit that
nothing can be done, in the face of
the decision of the committee.
The land law commission will make
second and final report to the pres
ident in a short time, in which fur
ther changes will doubtless be recon-
mended, and which will be embodied
in bills to be presented next session.

But the acquired momentum still
forced the huge weight forward, the
wheels sliding like horses boots on q
Shiny pavement and taking no grip or

slowly and more slowly until it was
within twenty yards Of where Mr..
Blood Smith stood at the end of the
creased slope. 1t wavered, stood still
for one second and then began silently
and slowly at first to slip back down
the slope, gaining speed as it went
Far away down at the foot of the
gradient the train came at last to a
dead halt. Then he knew the train was
safe for the night. So he drew his
wheel from its shelter with an easy
mind and with the wind at his back
went sailing away swiftly and smooth
~ along the road he came.
Next day at half past O'clock, while
Mr.. Snippit, with the deed in his black
calfskin bag, was still a long five
miles from Rathcool, a very curious
performance was in progress in the
house Of lords. The lord chancellor
was seated on the broad scarlet wool
sack. Two other lords were beside
him. This combination represented the
absent majesty Of England. A short
man was reading a list Of bills which
had passed through the storms of lords
and commons and were now sailing
peacefully into port.
1.-The voluntary conveyance bill"
read the short man.
La Refine lie vent" jerked out q tall
man.
In that second the bill was an act
and an integral part of the law of the
land, and the rights Of little Miss
Florence Burton were secure.
All that afternoon at Mount Eagle
Miss Trxie Mordant and Mr.. Blood
Smith waited eagerly expectant Of tel
egrams. It was well on in the evening
when two arrived together at last
There was but one word in each
message.

off at the foot, lifted the wheel over

He took the bag from the handle bars

CLEAN came from the rails that
stretched, two threads of light. away

He took one of the silk handker-

folds. He drew the cork of one Of the
oil cans with his teeth, soaked the silk
as full as it could hold, and then, bend
ing down over the near rail, he began
smearing the smooth metal thickly
with the Oil. So he worked steadily
and swiftly for over hundred yards
down the steep gradient until one can
of oil was exhausted. He crossed the
line and came up hopping and daub-

took his stand right between the rails

NEW YORK, Jan. "A story of

The girl was annoyed by his suavity
and later angered by his persistence
and tried to get away from him. Just
as they reached the womans entrance

her and roughly dragged her into the
door. Inside Caperilli. she said, also
seized her and both men hurried her
screaming, upstairs to a room SO ia

fought both and soon Caperilli was
called away to barricade the doors

When she was hauled into the Zaza
she attracted the attention of several
clerks in the offices of the Consolidat-
