went down yesterday on the excur-
sion to take in the fiesta and the
''toros" but the rain was very dis
agreeable as the "toros" were post
poned until today. Many returned
without waiting to see the fight.
Among those who enjoyed the pleas
ures of the rainy day were Mr.. and
Mrs. Valdetero, Mr.. and Mrs. Whit
tlesey, ar. and Mrs Van Ness, Mr.
and Mrs. Toombs, Messrs, Falligant
Ercan. Toombs, Nj ~. Barber,
Cummings, Reese, Misses Fannie Nc
CURE and Genevieva Parker.

Brownsville Tuesday
Mr.. and Mrs. Robertson went to
Brownsville Tuesday.
That broom corn will succeed at
San Benito is proven beyond doubt
by the fine crop which has been pro-
duced on the model farm on block
ten, which President Haywood of the
San Benito Land and Water COM
pany had planted about two months
ago as an experimental crop. This
corn has done marvelously we'll, and
is now about matured. There is
move on foot looking towards the
establishment of a broom corn fac
tory and subscriptions are being
taken up for that purpose. The

encouragement to such a project.
The success which has been made in
growing broom corn here is proof
that such an enterprise would pay
we'll. This broom ocrn was planted
July II and harvesting was begun
Sept. H. 1t is of a very superior
quality.

Judging by the Austin press dis
patches in the San Antonio papers
arriving here this morning, the ex-
ranger captain, now State hevenue
Collector Mcdonald, appears to be
under the impression that the

ings," in which letter the people of
Brownsville and the editor are de-
nounced a plenty by the collector,
will not be aired in The Herald As
was announced in yesterdays Herald,
however, the letter will be given

will be in a day or two.

LOW RATE MADE FOR
VALLEY EXHIBIT
G. Fl. & s. A. Offers TO Convey Ex-
hibit From This Section for
Fifteen Cents a Mile.

A special message by the general
agent, G.. T. Porter, of the Browns
vile road from Traffic manager VIM.
Doherty, states that the G. H. & S. A.
railroad has agreed to convey the
exhibit, if one be sent from the val
ley, from Placedo to San Antonio at
the rate of fifteen cents a mile.
Mr. Doherty also states that Trans
portation Superintendent McCune
will have a baggage car loaded here
to convey the exhibit when wanted.
So far, nothing has been done in
the matter of sending an exhibit, and
as the time is now short, there is
little if any likelihood of one being
sent.

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 infiamed 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
inflamed 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.

ANOTHER TIP TO SAN ANTONIO

Brownsville. Another tip to San An

Why, yes, and the very next tip
that the heroic Alamo City may get

stretches all the way from Laredo

Labor Not Satisfied.
CHICAGO, June 1s.--Labor people
who are here attending the national
Republican convention are not wholly
pleased by the concessions made In
the Republican platform to the labor
following. Prominent labor leaders
say they see In the wording Of the
anti.injunction plank legalization In
stead OF restriction OF the injunction
which II issued against unions by the
federal courts.
Those who would vouchsafe An
opinion failed to recognise that labor
received more than has been conceded
by many political conventions previ'
ously and II Is unlikely that the Demo.
cratic convention will do much more
for labor.
IT probably will have something to
say on the platform after the subject
has been discussed In the executive
council" said Mr.. Gompers; II do not
care to say anything at this time. II

It was apparent to the labor men
thronging the lobby Of the Kaiserhof
hotel, however. that their leader was
disappointed with the Injunction
plank.
