 Forman was pleased when they gave him an order to mount one of the dia- monds, and said they would have a check cashed and come back and leave deposit But out in front of the glass the bookkeeper started and reached quickly into q drawer.

72 DEAD; e,7so GSJvREp.
More Deaths Than Previously, but
 Fewer Injured on Fourth.

\Chicago, July 6.-The Tribune to- day says that seventy-two dead and 2,7S6 injured are the second day totals of the accidents attending the cele- bration of the Fourth of July in the United States. This breaks all rec ords of deaths since 1899
 The number of deaths this year reported up to o'clock this morning is thirteen more than at the same time last year. In 1905 ffty-nlne were dead at the same hour. The The number of injured, however. Is only two-thirds of the average for the last five years. This Is regarded as an indication that the agitation for a sane Fourth is having its effect.
 This years fire loss is s535,435 which Is about the average of the last ten years.

MANY TOWNS EAGER FOR
SAN ANTONIO RAILROAD.
Chicago Man, After Tour of Browns
vile Section, Says Towns Will
Offer Handsome Inducements

IF the people of San Antonio build
a railroad through Pleasanton, Alice,
Falfuriras and other points to
Brownsville, am almost certain that
in addition to securing handsome
tract to give the road its exclusive
patronage for the next 10 years.
This was the declaration made by
George E. Haines, railroad business
man of Chicago, who had just return
ed from a trip to the towns mention
ed.
I'm here in search of health and
location" said Mr.. Haines, land was
advised to go to the Falfurrias coun-
try.
First of all l learned that the
people over the route 1 travelled were
sore at the business element of San
Antonio over the repeated promises
of San Antonio to give them Keller by
building a road to Brownsville and
then letting B. F. Yoakum hoodwink
them by building line and diverting
the Brownsville trade to Houston.
The entire country is wild for a rail-
road Since the announcements ;i...s
The Light will send an automobile
party through that section to ascer-
| tain the true conditions, the people are
overjoyed and the party will be re-
ceived with open arms. AS matters
now stand the facilities furnished by
the Arkansas Pass to reach points on
the Alice-Falfurrias branch of that
road are inadequate. l feel satisfied
that the people of Alice and Falfur-
rias would be willing to give a large
bonus for a direct connection with
San Antonio and also to give such
road their exclusive patronage"
Mr.. Haines left for Chicago yester-
day, but will return to San Antonio
next month with his famly.-San An
tonic Light.

SMUGGLER CAUGHT
BY INSPECTOR
BROUGHT OVER SEVEN GALLONS
OF MESCAL IN BEEF BLAD-
DERS FROM MATAMOROS
Inspector Oliyiera Cleverly Stalks
Suspect, Confiscating Mescal and
Arresting Smuggler-Claims to DE
Employed by Another Whom he
VIII Not Name.

This morning early a Mexican by
the name of Pedro Saldana, accom-
panied by another Mexican whose
name could not be learned, was OBJ
served by Sustoms Inspector Celso c.
Oliveira, who was on duty at the
ferry, to cross the river to the Mex
lean side. Their actions aroused the
suspicion of Inspector Oliviera and,
after giving them time to reach Mata-
moros and return, he concluded to
make trip up the river, believing
that the men were smugglers and
that they would attempt to cross
over into the nrothenreakm, thatw
over into the northern part of town.
At the northern edgo of the city limits
Inspector Oliveira met William
Brady and asked him if he had seen
anything of two men with a package
of any description in that neighbor-
hood Mr. Brady informed him that
he had just seen two Mexicans who
came from the direction of the river
and entered the brush near by, and
that one of them was carrying sack
that had the appearance of being well
filled.
Inspector Oliviera at once plunged
into the brush and, after going a
short distance, he found a tow sack
which upon being opened was found
to contain six beef bladders filled
with mescal, or about seven gallons
of mescal, which he at once confiscat-
ed.
Not content with securing the mes
cal, Inspector Oliviera continued to
search the brush for the men who he
thought had smuggled over the mes
cal. About twenty feet from where
he found the sack, he encountered
Saldana. who appeared to be hiding
in the brush. Upon being questioned,
Saldana admitted that he had brought
over the mescal from Mexico, but said
that he was carrying it for someone
lse, although he steadfastly refused to
divulge the name of the party who
owned it,
The prisoner was carried before
United States Commissioner R. B.
Creager, and the foregoing facts were
ELECTED by the evidence in the investi-
CATION that ensued. The result was
that Saldana was placed under a
$50 bond to await the action of the
next federal grand jury. The required
bond was readily given, and the pris-
oner was released.

fortunate in having the services of

His previous experience as city editor
on the Houston Post, as well as the
fact that he was formerly a practi-

of the recent improvement on the
Caller has been largely due to his
efforts, although he is too modest a
man to say SO.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

A GRnAT POWER PLANT.

In this age Of conservation of nat
ural and consequent search
for substitutes for coal and other fuel,
anything in the way of cheap water
power is scrutinized with care. The
Boswell reservoir would make an ideal
power plant. The dam now contem-
plated will be 200 feet high, giving
a pressure at its base when the res
ervoir Is full of 100 pounds to the
square inch. 1t is situated so that
power could be transmitted from 1t to
the entire plains country and to such
cities as Cheyenne, Fort Collins and
all northern Colorado within u radius
of one hundred miles. With modern
methods electricity is transmitted one
hundred miles without serious loss.
1t is within the plans of the Tall
madge-Buntin company to establish
plains. These towns will in time be
demanding electric lighting plants
and power for manufacturing pur.
poses. Laramie needs cheaper power
than that which can be supplied with
coal at present prices. There Is moth.
ing cheaper than the weight of water.
With several villages in this valley, an
electric motor line connecting them
with Laramie looms up as a proba-
billty.
The hardest problem the manufac-
turer has to contend against is power
With a great plant at the Boswell
ranch, Laramie will be able to develop
many industries now impossible. 1t
is the best point in the west for a
wooden mill, our stucco business could
be still further developed with cheap
er power, the cement business gen.
orally needs such an innovation and
all our various industries would be
given greater activity.
