CHANGE FOR
BIC BOXERS

Walter Schulken and "Gunboat"
Smith were to have fought ten rounds
last night in San Francisco. Smith
is the man who boxed Spike" Higgins
here last year for the fleet champion
ship, the men fighting straight rules.
This was Schulken's first professional
fight. AS an amateur he showed plen-
ty of class.
What an opportunity for one of
them! No heavy weights ever had a
better chance of growing famous quick
ly. The field is practically deserted
outside of Johnson, Jeffries and Kauf-
man. Imagine what a sensation Schulz
ken will be if he comes on in this
next bout and wins by a quick knock
out.
The opportunity is not quite so good
for Smith. He had his chance two
months ago in that 10 round mixup
with Young Peter Jackson. Though he
won he did not cut his championship
teeth by any means. The best proof
of this is that Tim ONeill, an unheard
of middle weight, came back month
later and settled Young Peter jack
son in less than two rounds. Had
Smith done this they might be boosting
him as a near champion now.

lowing from the Caller:
All doubt that Corpus Christi

twelve months seems to have van
ished with the developments of the
last few days. An application for a
Franchise is now on file with the city
secretary from Mr. NJ. Ucovich and
associates. Mayor Reid is in receipt
of a communication from another
gentleman who states that he will be
present at the next meeting of the
city council for the purpose of apply
ing for a franchise. Three gentle
men have been in the city for the past
two days with view TO making APP
plication to the city for the privilege
of building a street railway.
The prediction is being freely made
by those in close touch with the stu
alton that a consolidation of inter
ests by some of the applicants for the
franchise may result Mr.. Ucovich is
now in San Antonio but is expected
TO return the first of next week.

TALKING ABOUT
THE VALLEY

q have always been proud of
the old State of Texas, but since my
visit to the valley of the Lower Rio
Grande | am prouder of her than
ever / shall go to the valley again
In the near future, for / have I'M
doubtedly caught the fever and this,
they tell me, invariably grows on you.
I have some st. Louis friends who are
heavily interested in the valley, and
while at first had some doubts as to
the wisdom of Investing there, but
now see where they were right and
only wish that | had been one of
them. But it is not too late yet for
me to get an interest there, for some
day if l continue to live, | will have
TO quit work and | can not imagine
a more delightful place to spend ones
time than in the valley of the Lower
Rio Grande, where the climate is al
ways springlike and congeHial."
These were the words of Henry p
Hilliard of ST. Louis. formerly Tex
bankers association, given out in an
interview in Houston recently. Con-
-,tiBuing Mr.. Hilliard said:
The spirit of development is
greater there than I have ever be-
fore known, and the great irrigat-
ing canals. with their hundreds of
miles of laterals. are marvels and
win stand as great monuments to
the enterprise and judgment of those
who built them And as this great
development is the result of rail-
road building into the country less
than five years ago, it is simply a
matter of wonderment and surprise
that the railroad was not built long
before it was, for the same rich val
ley has been there all along. l saw
beautiful crops of sugar cane, alfalfa
and vegetables y growing on lane
which. | was assured, was covered
with heavy underground less than
I'VE months ago, and nothing more
was needed to convince me of the
great fertility of the soil, which is so
prolific that one can almost see veg
citation growing. also saw them
shipping cabbage by the carload to
the markets of the North and East.
while various other kinds Of vegeta-
bIes were going out by express. And
this. too. in the middle of February,
when the people up my way are turn
ing on the steam heat or sitting
around stoves to keep warm.

Hays, Kan, Sept. BIN our neigh
boring town Of Herzog, IS miles east of
fere, is now being erected by Contrac-
tor E. F. Clark of Topeka, the largest
Catholic church in the west, and west
Of the Mississippi river. This town is
composed entirely of Catholics, no other
denomination living there, while for
miles around it is nothing but Catho-
lie colony of Russians and Germans.
Herzog is the little town on the Union
Pacific railroad that gave President
Grant that famous Russian recep-
ton in his travels westward years ago.
Congregation Outgrew Old Edifice.
A large stone Catholic church was
erected on the same site in 1884, TAX
ing the place of a former one built in
the 70's, which had proven too small
for the growing population. Now 1t has
been torn down, the corner stone pre-
served with its archieves to be placed
in the new one to be laid by Bishop
Cunningham on October 4, 1909 and the
rock used in the new church. All the
stone for this immense new edifice is
already on the ground, the Russians
being given the privilege of contribut-
ing rock on their subscription and these
farmers after their wheat is in in the
fall, and until next the harvest devote
the time in hauling the rock, from the
hard rock quarries IL miles away. And
this has been their work for two win
tiers.

our lives more courtesy and polite
ness, more real desire to make every
body happy by the little things of
life, which. after ALL constitute nearly
all there is in life.
Nov another corollary from the
text which 1 would like to draw is that
we ought to ascribe to our neighbors
and to those with whom we come In
contact, or with respect to whose &C
ton we have to express an opinion
as high motives we can. We ought
to avoid this acrimonious discussion
that consigns everybody who is OPP
posed to our view to perdition and to
having the most corrupt motives and
ascribes to those who stand with US
only the purest motives. Life is too
valuable to waste in anger and the
charging and denunciation of our fell
lowmen when they don't deserve 1T.
Waste of Time and Strength.
THE truth is, my friends, this mat
ter of hatred and resentment which
accompanies the attributing of a bad
motive to those who differ with you is
a waste of nervous strength, of time,
of worry, without accomplishing one
single good thing. 1 don't know how
it has been with you, but it has hap
pened time and time again with me
that some man has done something
that 1 did not like that 1 thought had
a personal bearing, and that L have
said in my heart:
"'Times will change and 1 will get
even with that gentleman don't
profess to be free from those feelings
at all. But it has frequently happened,
1 may say, generally that time did
some when could get even with thath
man and when that time came. IL
seemed I would demean myself and IL
would show me no man at all If took
advantage.
"And SO my friends what I am urg-
ing is less acrimony-more charity,
with respect to each other as to what
moves each man to do what he does,
and not to charge dishonesty and cor
ruption until you have q real reason
for doing so. 1 am the last man to
pardon or mitigate wrongs against the
public or against individuals. 1 be-
lieve and 1 regret to say II, that
throughout this country the admins
tration of criminal law and the prose-
cution of crime is a disgrace to our
civilization, but IT is one thing to
prosecute a criminal when you have
ascribe motives to the name of a man
when you have no evidence and are
just living in your Imagination In re-
spect to what you say.
"And now, my friends, I can not In
the presence of so great an audience
like this, an audience that inspires one
with high thoughts of country and
patriotism, fail to refer to the depth
of feeling that has been awakened in
me of gratitude for your welcome, of
an appreciation of the basis Of that
welcome which is loyalty to your nag
great office of the president the per-
sonality of the man who fills 1t for the
time sinks and that office typihes the
nation so that all people of whatever
party ought to feel that for the man
who for the time being holds the ONCE
they are manifesting a respect for the
nation for which they live and for
which they would be willing to die"

CHANGE DAYLIGHT SIGNALS.
Baltimore & Ohio Planning Still Safer
MeaSureS

Measures.
The search for means of eliminat-
ing all possibility of mistakes on the
part of locomotive engineers in the
reading of railroad signals. one of the
most fruitful sources of danger in the
causing of accidents, has led the Of
ficialss of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road to adopt change In daylight
signaling which, it is believed, will
result in greatly added precision of
able increase in the safety of travel
ing. Exhaustive tests have been car
ried on by the company for three
on a new method of operating signal
arms which, instead of moving the
arms below the horizontal position as
a signal authorizing the engineman to
proceed, moves the arms above the
horizontal to transmit the same infor-
nation.
The experiments with this depar-
ture from the old system of daylight
signaling has proved a success, and
the improved method has now been
adopted as the Baltimore and Ohio
standard. In the future all signal in
stallations on the railroad will be of
this character. No change has been
made in the stop indication. which is
still to be signified by the horizontal
position of the signal arm. The signal
to proceed, however. which has been
indicated by the moving of the arm
to As or 90 degrees below the hori-
zontal, has been found possible
cause of confusion, especially at the
proceed clear" position, where the
arm is vertical below the horizontal
and might be rendered indistinct by
the mast of the semaphore-
The proceed caution" indication
under the Baltimore and Ohio's new
system will be given by the arm in the

Baltimore and Ohio operating Off
Gals have found, they say, that the
upper quadrant system provides a
more distinct aspect than under the
old method. The road has made
large number of installations of this
type of signal during the last two
years.

The Union Pacific Is Building

Al HUNDRED MILLIONS

Other Items Of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Omaha. Neb., Sept. IA. L. Mohler,
general manager of the Union Pacific,
now has under his supervision the
construction of 600 miles of railroad
which that line is now building in this
territory. This includes fifty-three
miles in Nebraska, extending the
O'Fallon branch to NorthpOrt, thirty
five miles in Kansas and sixty miles in
Colorado north of Denver, making 14S
miles in connection with the Union Pa
cific proper. In addition to this 100
miles of double track are being laid on
the main line through Nebraska be-
tween Kearney and North Platte. The
grading on this work is complete and
the rails are being laid.
The total of new work now under
way by the Hartman system is zoos
miles. The amount of money involved
in this construction is placed conserva-
lively at $1OO,000,OO0 and is an I'M
paralleled outlay for the construction
of branches and improvements in the

Residents of Newton Purchase Large
Issue of Bonds.

Newton, Kan, Sept. 27.-The city
council has made the last payment

laid this summer. and in connection
Herewith there is a prosperity story
that speaks we'll for the financial
condition of the residents of Newton
and vicinity.
The cost of the paving was. in
round numbers. $4,000. Owners of
property assessed for the cost of do
ing the work had the privilege Of
enough of them took advantage of
this to pay $41,301.24 into the city
treasury, leaving bonds in the amount
of $4,000 to be issued.
When these bonds were ready for
the market they were quickly taken
by private citizens, only a few of
them going to the banks. The de-
mand for the bonds was so great that
many more could have been sold.
