NEW SERVICE.
Double Daily Service Via Frisco TO
Come Later.

There was inaugurated yesterday
the through service, Houston to New
Orleans, by the Rock lsland-Frisco
route when passenger trains left
both Houston and New Orleans en-
route TO the other city
The first train out OF Houston
pulled out on time, and, according
to advices received here, reached
the Crescent City about five minutes
late. The train leaving New Orleans
yesterday morning and due here
last evening at $40 O'Clock was
several hours late. The delay was
occasioned by the precaution of the
engineer in running his train slowly
over new trackage, with a view of
providing safety for his passengers.
The train out of Houston was
equipped with new cars and engine,
being the property of the Frisco
system. No officials left here on the
first train and none arrived on last
nights train from New Orleans al
though a number left New Orleans,
but stopped off Ell route at Baton
Rouge and Beaumont. The inaugur-
alton of this service means much TO
Houston and the coast country Of
Texas, reaching territory in direct
line not heretofore in touch with
Houston and Texas by direct route.
Later on it is proposed to estah-
fish double daily service, making
the night run as well as the day
run. This service depends entirely on
the condition of the road and the
business justifying its commence
ment.
From now on the through train
to New Orleans will leave Houston
every morning at O'Clock, and the
one leaving New Orleans in the
morning will reach Houston at S:l5
O'Clock Houston Post.

scoffers of that day think of a har-

wheat cakes mixed, baked and eaten
within a few minutes after the grain
has been cut? What would they

speed. the front wheel touched the ground and the
machine topDled over with a crash. Cody pitched
forward in the midst Of the wreckage.
Fellow aviatOrs and ambulance attendants rushed
TO the scene, expecting tragedy. but to their
establishment were greeted cheerfully by Cody, who
crawled from the huge tumble of broken bamboo
rods and tangled wires unhurt save for severe
cash in the face and shock to his nerves
The biplane presented a sad appearance The
engine escaped and the planes were not greatly
damaged. but the other parts were so badly
wrecked that several days viii ne required for
