BENEFIT OF WATER RATES.
Railroad Rates Reduced 30 Per Cent
BY Water Competition.

Forty years ago when newspapers
chronicled, daily, the arrival and de-
parture of the boats that piled be-
tween St. Louis and Omaha, there
was only one railroad-the Hannibal
and St. Joseph-save one branch
of no great Importance. Freignt
charges were high for river carriage,
and the people looked to the rail-
roads for relief and expedition.
Eventually they got what they want
ed, and now the people are calling
for boats and praying for relief from
the railroads.

ST. JOHN AS PROPHET.
Predicts Dry Washington and NOM
inatiOn of Roosevelt.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 13.-John
P. st. John, formerly governor OF
Kansas, who has come to Spokane
to begin the fight for prohibition
in the State of Washington, made
two predictions in the course of an
interview:
Nothing except death will pre-
vent the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt to succeed President Taft,
and if he is not elected no other re-
publican can be.
Ten years hence there won't be
a legalized saloon within the bOun-
diaries of this commonwealth. SpO-
kane will be dry in five years from
this time"
Mr.. st. John said among other
things in speaking of Roosevelt and
Taft;
Theodore Roosevelt is the sharp
est politician in the United States.
But for him Mr.. Taft never would
have been thought of for the pres
idency. Roosevelt knew Taft, be
Iieved him to be an honest man,
and so do /, but he knew that Taft
is q putty man, soft putty at that
Roosevelt helped to elect Taft. He
knew that his administration would
be a failure.
Roosevelt went off to Africa. He
is not mixed up in any of the ques-
tons before the people today In
the course of IS months ne viii re
turn, covered with rhino hides, ele-
plant tusks and glory The howl
and yell element in politics viii
raise the cry for Roosevelt. The
country will go wild over him.
Nothing except his death Will pre-
vent his nomination to succeed
Taft, and if he is not elected it W..
be because no republican could win.

State Banquet.
As a fitting elimination of the
exchange of visits between the two
presidents today and in distinct con
trast to the social functions which
attended the stay of President
Juarez in Mexico, when corn cake
was the principal article of food
for the presidential table, is the ban
quet tonight in the custom house in
Juarez. For the preparation of the
delicacies for the occasion, Presi-
dent Diaz sent his chief steward and
chef from Chepultepec Castle, a man
who formally served in the same ca
pacity in the palace of King Alton
so of Spain. The silver for the oc-
casion is also from Chepultepec and
was brought to Juarez under special
guard. The flowers for the decora-
tions came in a special express car
from the city of Guadalajara and
the decorators came from Mexico
City. The carriages in which the
Mexican president and party paid
a call on the president of the United
States and in which Mr.. Taft and
party returned the visit to General
Diaz, were shipped from the pres
idential stables at Mexico City
Monument to Juarez.
One of the leading features of
the visit of General Diaz to the Dor
der, besides the significance of the
exchange of visits with President
Taft, was the laying of the corner
stone yesterday for the monu-
ument which a grateful nation is
erecting in the border city to Juarez,
the patriot The monument, cost
ing $4,000, is well under way, its
erection having been brought about
by popular subscriptions, headed by
$4,000 by President Diaz Appro-
priately, it is being erected in the
city where the president rallied his
shattered army and started back on
his triumphal march to the capital
after being driven once to the Dor
der and almost forced to flee to the
United States as an asylum for life
he monument takes the form of
marble shaft surmOunted by a stat
ne of the great soldier looking as
he did when he was in practical
exile in the border city.

ment house on the corner of Eliza
beth and 18th streets and the home
of J. W. Hancock on 18th street.
1t seemed for a time that in spite
of the heroic efforts of the fire boys
these houses were doomed to go and
had the fire spread to these houses
there is no doubt that at least naif
of the city would have been swept
by the fire When the fire company
first arrived upon the scene the
water pressure was so light that the
hose was of little if any use. Louis
Brulay who came to the fire in his
automobile, at once got into his ma
chine and made a record breaking
run to the pumping station to have
the engineer put on all the pressure
possible. 1t was only by an act of
Providence and the united effort OF
the American and Mexican citizens
of the city that Brownsville this
morning was not a heap of ruins.
The grounds of the upper post
present a very different spectacle
from that of yesterday. Where yes
terday stood the three barracks
that were burned today little is left
save the brick foundation and one
brick chimney which is standing as
though a monument in memory of
what the buildings once were. They
were built of pine and practically
every vestige was completely wiped
out of existence.
The last barracks on the east,
though they were untouched by the
flames, presents a most dilapidated
appearance. The gallery which ex-
tended about the entire building now
lies a mass of ruins, the firemen in
their endeavor to check the hungry
flames having chopped down the
wooden supports of the gallery so
that the whole thing tumbled Ev-
cry window in the building was de-
stroyed as well as holes being made
in the roof TO give the brave firemen
egress. The building is past all re-
pairing and Uncle Sam should by all
means be petitiOned to tear it down
as in its present condition it is alb
sOlutely worthless and is a menace
to the safety of the entire city.
For several hours after the fire
had burned itself out a force of
men were at work with the fire
house. keeping a stream of water
upon the smOldering embers, and as
a precautiOn against an outbreak of
fire last night watchmen patrOlled
that part of the city.
Many cartridge shells of the o.
S. army pattern were picked up late
yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing by people, as souvenirs During
the fire at least fifty or a hundred
cartridges must have exploded in
the burning barracks.
Several of the firemen lost their
shoes. hats and coats First Assist
ant Fire Chief GoIdammer lost val
liable ivory carpenters rule, and it
is reported that L. B. Puente had the
misfortune to lose a valuable dia-
mond ring.

CINDERS RAKED
FROM THE FIRE
MAYOR COMBE HAD A Thrill.
LING EXPERIENCE.
Fire Caught in Building Several
Blocks Away-Charred Shingles
From the Scene of the Fire.
Were Picked Up Fifteen Blocks


Among those overcome by the Ter
rifle heat yesterday afternoon while
fighting the fire which completely
destroyed three of the barracks in
Fort Brown, were Fred Tate, John
Seanlon, R. B. Creager and Vincente
Crixeu. However all of them are all
right today Probably Mr. Tate was
in worse condition than any one
else but he is reported today as be-
ing very much better.
Mayor COmbe had a rather thrill
ling experience during the fire which
was something of a cross between
the famous slide for life act and
shooting the chutes. While engaged
in throwing water on the roof of
house in the immediate vicinity of
the fire, his honor lost his footing
and came sliding down off the house
onto the ground and just as he rose
to his feet the nozzle of the hose
which was being held by a couple of
firemen took a notion to change its
course which 1t Immediately did, the
full force of the stream striking his
honor in the small of the back,
knocking him into the gutter. Not
withstanding these little experiences,
the mayor was among the last to
leave the scene after the fire had
burned itself out.
During the course of the fire the
roofs of at least twenty buildings.
in some cases several blocks away,
caught on fire, some of them sew
eral times. but the quick action of
the bucket brigade put our the fire
before it did any serious damage.
Among those farthest from the
fire which were ignited by the fly
ing sparks vas a cot in the second
story of the White Elephant saloon,
located directly opposite the market
house The bed clothes on the cot
were burning wnen discovered but
the prompt action of the employees of
the saloon, who threw the burning
oed clothes into the street, soon en-
ded that little episode.
Charred shingles were picked up
this morning in the northern portion
of the city at least fifteen blocks
distant from the scene of the con
flagration.
One of the difficulties experienced
in fighting the fire was the lack of
water, many of the houses most in
danger not being supplied with city
water, which necessitated in many
instances the carrying of water for
some distance. While the fire was
at its height many people living in
that section of the city began madIy
to pack up their belongings and
some of them loaded their house
hold effects into drays and carts and
had them carted to a different ror-
ton or the city.
The most difficult task of the fire
men was saving the Kendall apart
