train came in, also double header, and every coach loaded to the platform. Again there were cheers and scurrying to and fro in the dark, while people sought their friends amid the throng of curious sightseers and visitors.
 Soon after the arrival of the train all eyes turned toward the town, which was one great blaze of light. Around the roofs of business blocks and residences were strings of lights-torch lamps about eighteen inches apart. Towering high above all other buildings could be seen the big cathedral-a veritable palace of light. Around the roof and circled about the big dome, tier above tier, even up to the big cross, the lights blazed brightly. To the right of the cathedral another building loomed up above it's surroundings; it was the municipal palace, all alight and decorated, ready for the recep tion of the city's invited guests and for the grand ball.
 The palace, besides being beauti- fully decorated, tad also been fitted up for the comfort of the visitors. The big dining room had been ar ranged to seat fifty guests. In the numerous offices desks and other

3:30. The regular train was pre- ceded by a special, bearing Cover nor Luis Torres and ex-Governor Rafael Ysabal, with their families and many invited guests. When word was received here that the trains were running late and would not arrive till five o'clock, it was received good naturedly and the people continued to wait.
 Prominent citizens and officials, with their families, occupied seats on the grand stand, which was gaily decorated with bunting and flowers. At one end of the grand stand was a great arch, on which hung painting of a railroad train, with the inscription Progress" In front of the grand stand were

6:30. So great was the crowd about the train that it was with difficulty the members of the recep- tion committee made their way to the platforms to receive the dis tinguished visitors, who were escorted to carriages, while the military band played national airs, and cheers rang out for Gov ernor Torres, ex-Governor Ysabal and for Alamos and her other guests.
 The visitors came in Superin- tendent Oster's private car, Fran. cisco" and Chief Surgeon Good fellows private car, "Silver Bell," and two coaches, drawn by two engines.

 But the beginning of most good things Is uphill work and so it was with getting the first regular train into Alamos. The cause of the de- lay cannot be told, as there seems to have been many causes. The trains were heavy and some little time was lost between different stations on the line from Hermo- sillo, from where the governors special started, and Alamos. At every station there were friends of Governor Torres and ex-Governor Ysabal, who desired to wish the two leading citizens of Sonora a Happy New Year," and score of small delays of five to ten minutes caused one great delay of several hours in reaching Alamos.
 After five o'clock many of the people at the railway station began to leave, though many of them re- turned later in the evening and there were between 5000 and 4,OOO people waiting when the special finally pulled into town at about

furnishings had been pushed into corners and elsewhere and beds, cots and other furniture placed therein for the accommodation of in- vited guests.
 While the visitors were being re- freshed at the municipal palace, the military band repaired to the plaza and there entertained thou sands of people, who strolled around and listened to the music till after ten o'clock.
 Then all the beauty and chivalry of Alamos. with the distinguished ladies and gentlemen who were their guests, began to file into the big theater room of the municipal palace, where the walls and pillars were hung with bunting, flowers,

 That night Alamos was at it's gayest.
 Her guests were treated with all that royal hospitality for which the southland is famous.
 The train was late, but what the people of Alamos most desired was that 1t should come.
 1t came.
 And the lesser disappointment was lost in the greater joy of reali- zation.
 Soon after midday on the first of January the people began to gather at the station. By two o'clock there were 5000 people gathered about the grand stand and at three o'clock there were 5OOO people on hand to witness the arrival of the first regular passen. ger train, scheduled for arrival at

 All the s e a ts about the theater room were occupied by spectators and hundreds stood i'll the corridors look ing on all through the night of pleas ure. And all night gentlemen in dress suits found pleas ure in mingling with the happy throng, b e ari n g trays laden with refreshing drinks, and seeing that the slightest want of each guest was at- tended.

YOUNG MEMS SUNDAY
PROVES A SUCCESS
MASS MEETING FOR MEN AT
TURNER HALL,
ROuSing Union Meeting at the Mo-
rdvidn Church in the Evening
Several Notable Workers Of
State PreSent-AlSO the State
Y. M. C.. A. Qudrtette.

The body of men attending the
meeting held at the Turner hal! Sum-
day afternoon was composed mostly of
men from our leading Evangelical
churches and was proof of the fact
that the desire of the state workers
to be of service to our young men is
sincerely appreciated by many of the
christian men of our city. State
Secretary F. K. Anderson made an
earnest and powerful appeal for a
stronger and cleaner christian man
hood for Watertown-a manhood that
shall come forth victorious over temp
tations TO sin; manhood that has
enough of love towards it's brother
men to reach down helping hand to
those who are still conquered by and
servants to sim The state Y. M. 9.
A. auartette rendered songs suitable
to the occasion.
At the union service at the Mora
Wan church in the evening. the num-
Der attending was SO large that the
annex had to be thrown open to provide
seats for all. On the platform the
local pastors and Y. M. C. A. work
ers were seated. The first speaker
Mr.. Charles Puehler, state railway
secretary tor the Y. M. O. A., spoke
on the Work throughout the state and
of the splendid support 1t was receiv-
ing from various cities, because they
recognized its value to young men and
boys.
Mr.. Herslep, who has charge of
the religious work of the Racine Y.
M. c. A., spoke briefly of that phase
of the association work, laying en-
phss;s on the fact that no man is
perfect man unless he is also christ
ian.
Secretary Anderson was last on the
prog ram and by his earnestness,
eloquence and power of oratory, held
the closest attention of all while he
told of the boundless love and COM
passion of the Son of God in dealing
with pubIicans and sinners, of the
folly of those who like sheep are
about in sin, and of the
Father ready to meet the repented
sinner.

Of listening to very interesting and in
structive lecture on tuberculosis, delIy-
cred by DR.. NJ. 2. Rayenal of the UnlYer-
sity of Wisconsin. The lecture was IL
Illustrated with srereOpticOn pictures, etc.
The lecture treated Of the prevalence,
the spread, the prevention and cure OF
the dread disease. He said that strict
consumption cannot be cured by medi-
cine, but that when resOrted to in time,
fresh air. sunlight, good food and rest
are the remedies. He advised people to
keep their bedroom windows open during
the night and pronounced the fear Of
bad effects from night air superstition,
He also showed how tuberculosis is liza
bic to be spread by drinking the milk of
diseased cows and by the splitting habit.
All who heard this lecture certainly
profited by it.
In this connection, it may not be out
of place to call attention to the wonder
full extension of the work which Our
state university is doing. Year after
year it is doing more and more to give
all classes of people of this state the
benefit of practical instruction by trained
specialists. Until recently our extern
sion course was to be had at consider
