DEATH OF ALFREDO cHAvERo
One Of Mexico's Leading Men-Leaves
Relatives in Brownsville.

A dispatch from Mexico City,
of Oct. "a, to the San Antonio
Express, reports the death of Al
fredo Chavero, one of the most
widely known citizens of Mexico,
at the age of "a years. The dis
patch further says:
Mr.. Chavero was the recognized
mouthpiece of President Diaz in
Congress and was former Minister
of Foreign Affairs. He was a
member of The Hague commission
and of the Second Pan-American
Congress and numerous literary
and scientific societies.
He was accounted the foremost
literary man of Mexico.
The deceased statesman was
closely related to some of Browns
ville's we'll known citizens, hav-
ing been an uncle of Mrs. Anna
c. Putegnat, and grand uncle to
of Mrs. Louis R. Cowan and her
sister, Miss Rosa E. Putegnat.

There are plenty of arguments
for the construction of cotton mills
in Texas and there is absolutely
no reason why with proper man
agement they should not make
money from the start. 1t does
not take so very much money to
start a cotton mill and it can be
allowed to grow.-Denison Herald.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhaned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have "a runbiing sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it IS entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

ALL QUITE FREE.
A Little Good Advice to Give the Gen.
eraI Public.

Newspaper men, like other peo-
pie, are human, and are governed
by the same general motives and
impulses that move others; if You
do nothing for them you should
not expect them to do for you; if
you dc not patronize them they
most assuredly won't go two or
three blocks out of their way and
pass other men who do help their
business, just to patronize you.
You treat the editor kindly and
help him IN his business, and he
may be depended on to do the
to square and generous thing
with you. But he fisn't going
play in any one-sided game, you
may be sure, any more than you
will. But he is appreciative of his
and may be counted on to
champion the interests of his pa
irons. Yes, the editor may be a
hog, but if SO he has some mighty
human traits. Nevada Enterprise.
Common sense is an uncommon
ly good thing to possess.

SOME of our esteemed contem-
poraries are much exercised over
President Roosevelt's statement
that he eats nothing but hard boil
ed eggs for breakfast. The food
that Mr.. Roosevelt eats may be-
come of public importance fit at
Sects his brain or temperament,
but only those cases should it be
discussed. Are we to understand
that these critics would restrict the
presidential appetite and compel
him to limit the hardness and num-
Der OF the eggs he can engorge.
Many notable epicures have had
strange likings for queer food, as
for instance the English King who
died of eating too many lampreys
and as Mr.. Roosevelt may not be
versed in the gastronomic art or
may prefer hard boiled eggs 10 soft
boiled ones, why not let him have
his own way without criticism.

TEXAS LANDS
GOOD INVESTMENT.
Refusal Of Nine Dollars Per Acre for a
Million Acres.

Is southwest Texas land a safe
investment for a large amount of
capital? This question is always
asked by land buyers who investi-
gate Texas lands and is question
concerning which there is always
some discussion. tits argued that
some year there may be drouth
or southwest Texas may not al
ways enjoy the good crops and
prosperity it has enjoyed for the
last three years.
The refusal of perhaps the largest
land owner in Texas to sell her
holdings recently is a good answer
to this question. R. ]. Kleberg,
manager of the King estate, con-
trolling practically eleven hundred
thousand acres between Corpus
Christi and Brownsville, was APP
preached few days ago by a syn
dictate and was asked if he would
sell the King ranch for 50 an acre.
He was told that company of
capitalists would consider the pur
chase of the ranch provided it
would be sold as a whole for that
amount.
The figures named represented
the largest sum probably ever of
fered for any single landed prop
erty. Mr.. Kleburg considered the
for some time and is
said to have answered in substance
as follows:
The amount offered for the
ranch is an enormous sum of
money. I think the land is worth
it. 1t is probably not worth more
1t the present time, bus if I had
he cash I do not know any place
could invest it where it would be
IS safe and secure as it is now and
do not know where it would bring
better returns than it is bringing
low."
Tie greater part of the King
anch has been under the control
If one management for over
quarter of a century. Some parts
# it were purchased for as low a
rice as Is cents an acre. The
aud has proven a good investment
nd its owner has reasoned that it
5 an investment of sufficient value
o hold.
Land owners argue that what is
profitable holding for ranch of
million acres is a profitable one
or any other land in Texas and
hat in the purchase of farm land
n this section the purchaser will
ot lose money.
A change has come over this /
ection of Texas and is is believed
ne season of prosperity will con-
mite. What were once termed :
rid lands are now productive and
ill continue to be. This has
roven the case with all other
newly opened to agri-
nltural purposes. The irrigation
and the settlement of
lie country have made change

Boy Landed in Jail.

VIM. Benson, nineteen-year-
old lad, was brot to Minot by
Officer Art Day from Bowbells
and lodged in the county Jail to
await the session of district
court. He is charged with at
tempted highway robbery, but it
seems to the Independent that it
was great mistake to bind the
lad over to the district court,
He had been working for M.
H. Misfieldt and wanted his
money. Misfeldt did not have
it at that time, and the lad stop
ped his team on the road and
threatened to compel the con-
tractor to give it to him. Judge
Movius bound the lad over to
the district court, and he being
without friends could not furnish
bail.
