II seems that the biggest Opposi-
ton TO any further railroad building
in Texas is confined mostly to those
counties that are already filled with
them, and don't want to see the unde-
yeloped portions of the state come
into competition with them through
the facilities offered by railway trans
portation. Have you noticed it like
wise2-Laredo Times.
If the Times diagnosis be correct,
it reflects small credit upon those
Texas counties whose people are i'm
bued with such narrow views. The
entire state must build up and pro-
sgress before it can reach that high
standard which every loyal Texan
should desire to see it achieve The
vast opportunities for development in
Texas are attracting such wide atten-
ton and bringing such great num-
bers of investors and homeseekers,
that the entire state promises to
share in the benefits of this develop
ment. The more homes, the more
towns and the more railroads the
state has. the quicker will be its
growth along all lines, the more
rapid its increase in taxable values
and in wealth. Thus the state will
be able that much sooner to inaug-
urate and maintain all of those pub
lie improvements which modern pro-
gress demands of state governments
Texas needs more railroads, and the
acquisition of every mile CT railroad
is benefit to every part of the state.

joyed Dip in the Surf-Left

c. B. Rodgers, general manager of

of prominent Nebraskans to Point
Isabel and back yesterday. In the
party were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Big
nell, Miss Vera Bignell and Eugene
Bignell, of Lincoln, Nebraska, and
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jones of Seward,
Nebraska. Mr.. Bignell is superin-
tendent of the Burlington road, while
Mr.. Jones is a man of wealth who is
looking over the country with an
eye to becoming interested. The par
ty Travelled in Mr.. Bignells private
car to Brownsville. On arrival at
the Point yesterday morning, the
visitors were taken across the bay
to Tarpon Beach where some of them
enjoyed a dip in the surf
Dinner was served TO rthe party
at the Club House. After an ideal
day at the Beach they returned re-
luctantly to the Point just in time
to catch the evening train to town.
Although unable to stay here long
enough to look over the country, as
closely as he would have l;ked, AIR
Bignell expressed himself as delight
ed with the natural advantages OF the
Rio Grande Valley and amazed at the
advanced stage and rapidity of the
development in both agriculture and
business.
Mr.. Bignell's private car with his
party on board went out with the
north bound train this morning

1 Looking as handsome as ever and
Areplete with as interesting and use
ul reading matter and as good
hooking illustrations as ever, the
midsummer number of the Gulf
Coast Magazine has reached The
Herald exchange table. 1t needs no
further assurance that this valuable
publication has no intention of sus-
pending, which was enormously re-
ported some time since, than to
glance at this number Not only is
1T very much alive in every other
way, but its advertising pages show
such evidence of vitality, as to make
it a foregone conclusion that the
Gulf Coast Magazine is here to stay.
No publication would voluntarily
shuttle off this mortal coil, with such
a splendid support as this one COM
mands The contents of this num-
Der are well up to its usual high
standard. The leading article is by
J. w. Falvelia, the talented pub
Fisher of the Corpus Christi Herald,
who in 'Juanita the Spy relates
the story of an attempt to start a
revolution against the Mexican gov
eminent in South Texas. based upon
the so-called Cara revolution of
some sixteen years ago. The other
matter, which makes up the COP
cents of this Issue, is equally as
readable. The entire issue is we'll

A Mistaken RepOrt.-In reporting
the story of the storm at Point Isabel
last week, it was stated that Mrs.
Jas Hill was hurt during the storm
by a dressing case being blown over
on her. This was an error. Mrs.
Hill was hurt slightly in the storm
by wardrobe falling over on her,
but the fall was not due to the wind
shaking the house 1t was due in
stead to Mrs. Hills having stepped
up on the lower leg of the wardrobe,
in order to reach something on the
upper shelf. which caused it to be
turned over. Luckily her only injury
was mashed hand.
There is considerable complaint of
disorderliness in the vicinity of a
saloon and dancing place, known as
the "HOngo," near the northwest
edge of town, which the city officials
should investigate. AS & lady was

ternoon coming into town man

man over the head, when the latter
was trying to arrest him for disor-

the authorities to see that a place
where such occurrences take place is
put under police supervision.

AT REVIVAL MEETING.
Rev. w. A. Sunday GraPples With His
Observation-Disclosures on Verge of
Panic-WieIder Of Whip Explains.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 26.-Rev. Will
liam A. Sunday. better known as "Ril-
1y'' Sunday, a former baseball player,
who is now an evangelist, was horse r
whipped tonight by a religious fanatic
at the Sunday tabernacle, where, in
the presence of 5000 per sons, he was
conducting religious revival meeting.
The evangelist, after his opening re-
marks, was leaning against the pulpit
on an elevated platform while a hymn
was being sung by his choir leaders
and a soprano of Springfield, when a
powerful man, who later said his name
was Sherman Potts, sprang forward
with a buggy whip and struck Mr..
Sunday several terrific blows.
Sunday Ieaped from the platform
and dashed his assailant to the floor
in the center aisle. The audience was
on the verge of a panic while Potts
and Sunday rolled about in the aisle
Several men soon seized Potts end
they held him until policemen came
and took him to jo1i.
Mr. Sunday said he suffered several
painful bruises from the whip. The
prisoner said that his home was near
IDvington, Ill.
According to the horsewhipper's
statements at the jail, he was once
declared insane and committed to the
Jacksonville asylum. whence after a
brief confinement he was released as
cured. He said he came TO SPRING
field from Decatur today to horsewhip
Sunday in defense Of the virtues Of
women which he declared had been
criticized by the evangelist. The police
say that Potts is a religious fanatic.
