a car repairer for the railroad, and
early yesterday morning he received
a call to work. He was crossing the
trestle near the Union station when
two strangers told him to throw up
his hands and deliver over his money.
Mr.. Darlington reached down, grab
bed a piece Of iron, and in brazen
tones told the fellows what he would
do II they touched him. Both took
the hint and left without making any
trouble.

message had gone, and finally asked:
Would you mind looking In the

decidedly light.
Reflections we're heavy in new ex-

Whether II will be possible TO ar

be held before the Jeffries Athletic
club, at Vernon, next "Wednesday

Mcintosh Can Afford 1t.

That Mcintosh can afford to offer
the enormous purse for another

fact that the receipts from the John
goa-Burns fight aggregated $3.50. 600.
This amount is probably the greatest
ever taken in for single prize fight.

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 infa1ned con-
ditiou of the mucous lining Of the Eus'
tacliau Tube. When this tube IS inhan
ed you have a runbling sound or imper-
fect 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 infa1ned cond1-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh

HOW TO AVOID AND
HOW TO CURE GRIP.
Suggestions Of a Physician in Chicago,
Where There Are 100000
Gases.

In Chicago it is estimated that
there are two hundred thousand
cases of the grip. A prominent
physician of that city has been in
terviewed by the Journal and sets
down the following rules as the re-
suit of his experience, with this
tormenting epidemic:
TO AVOID THE GRIP.
DO not neglect colds"
Live in the open air as much as
possible.
Sleep in properly ventilated
rooms.
Do not ride in hot, stuffy cars.
Keep out of drafts.
Avoid overeating and drinking.
TO CURE THE GRIP.
At first symptom go to bed
Abstain from eating.
Drink large quantities of water.
Remain perfectly quiet.
Do not take friends" prescrip-
tons.
SYMPTOMS.
Do you feel as if your last friend
had deserted you?
Are you pessimistic regarding
the financial situation?
Does the landlord annoy you?
Do you feel hungry and don t
know what you want to eat?
Does the small of your back feel
like someone had hit you with a
brick?
Have you got a cold that
simply Ven listen to reason?
Ii you have these symptoms
there IS 10 doubt about your Attic
ton. You have the grip-or you
are about to have it-and the best
thing for you to do IS to get home
and into bed as quickly as possible.
Grip is a self-limited disease, y
said DR.. James B. Murphy, and
without additional exposure the
patient will get we'll in a few days
without medicine. But it is the
most dangerous disease in the COM
mon category, and if it is ignored
or neglected the patient is liable to
pneumonia, bronchitis and many
other diseases. "

SOMNOLENT SAN ANTONIO.
Allows Rival Cities to Absorb Trade Of
this Rich Growing Territory.

What has become of the project
ed line of railway from San Anto-
Mo to the lower Rio Grande9 The
enterprise is fraught with so mnch
of beneficial interest that it should
not be tightly set aside. If San
Antonio is to receive the trade
naturally tributary to her, she
must take steps, and early steps,
to connect herself with the coun-
try bordering on the lower Rio
Grande. Much of this trade has
been lost to San Antonio through
the building Of the Brownsville
road, and, every days delay in
effecting direct rail communication
adds to that loss and extends the
area of territory slipping away
from her. Neither Galveston nor
Houston are asleep.-Texas Re
public.
What the Republic says is very
true. San Antonio is sleeping on
her rights III not claiming the
Brownsville territory, which is fast
developing into one of the most
productive areas of the entire State.
San Antonio should shake up her
inossbacks and build that railroad
which Colonel Lott has already pro
jected from there to Brownsville.
BROWNSVILLE HERALD.
The Republic and HERALD voice
the sentiment of this lower Rio
Grande valley; but San Antonio
seems to he Indifferent, shy and
tin1id in reaching out after its own.
We love San Antonio and would
like to have direct railroad con-
nection, and are willing to cooper
ate for that purpose, San Antonio
should remember that faint
heart never won fair lady" and
come after us otherwise Houston
and Galveston will take us for
keep. Hidalgo Advance.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %. 1908.
Garner ON GUARD.

The letter from Congressman
Garner to the publisher of THE
HERALD relative to Improvements
on this part of the Texas coast, and
the construction of the proposed
channel to connect Brazos Santiago
Pass with the Rio Grande and al
50 the opening of that stream to
navigation, which appeared III yes
terdav's HERALD, shows that Our
John is, as usual. on guard as to
the intetests of every part of his
district. THE HERALD had no
doubt of that fact, and the edito-
rial published If this paper to
which Mr.. Garner had reference
was published as much for the
purpose of calling the attention OF
the people of this section to the
Importance of making an effort to
secure the desired improvements,
as to call his attention to this end
Y his district. 1t can not be ex-
aected that our congressional rep
resentatives will push such pro-
iects, unless the people most inter
ested in the matter will exert
themselves to secure them. Now
that Brownsville and the lower
Rio Grande has organized several
associations which are designed to
look after the welfare of this sec
ton, it is not to be doubted that
the subject of improving the water
transportation facilities of this sec
ton will receive proper attention
at an early day.
With a natural pass and harbor
that could easily be deepened and
made to accommodate the traffic of a
very large territory in this section
and also in Mexico, and the many
advantages that could accrue to all
interests here by the possession of
such facilities, the many wealthy
syndicates now building canals and
inaugurating other enterprises
along the Lower Rio Grande
might well concern themselves
with the matter. As Mr.. Garner
says, the day will surely come
when deep water will be secured at
Brazos Santiago. and with tbs
construction of the channel from
that port to the Rio Grande, fo1
which he says he expects TO De
able to secure an appropriation
the day of that achievement will
be hastened, and the deepening Of
the river be the sooner undertaken
Oy the Mexican and American
governments. The day when six
teen steamboats, were operated OF
this stream is not so long gone but
what it is remembered by our old
er residents, and the day when the
same thing may be seen again may
not be so far distant.
