MEXICAN OFFICER KILLED ON TEXAS SIDE
Crosses international Bridge in Gal
Top and Is Shot Down by
Custom inspectors.

AS soon as he started shooting, the
customs inspectors opened fire on him
with their six-shooters. The federal
soldier, dressed in a khaki suit and
wearing two belts of cartridges, gal
loped across the bridge on his horse
and opened fire when he was within
two spans of the American end Of the
bridge. Customs Inspector Jonah and
immigration Inspector Hebron ran
out of the little customs guardhouse
on the American end of the bridge
when the shooting started and when
they saw that the Mexican was firing
point blank at them, they opened fire
with 45-caliber pistols. The officers
did not see the Mexican until he start
ed firing. One of his bullets struck
the custom house building where they
were sitting.
Acosta was shot through the mouth
and arms and his horse, from which
he had dismounted, was shot through
the side. The American officers were
uninjured. Before crossing the bridge
the Mexican had remarked that he
was going to, kill gringo."
Two troops of the Thirteenth Cav
airy were ordered to the bridge fol-
lowing the shooting in order to re-
strain the 1000 Mexicans who had
gathered on the Mexican side OF the
bridge.
General Hugh L. Scott, commander
of the United States troops, was mott
fled Of the shooting, and he ordered
all troops to be prepared for move,
ment to Ell Paso from Fort Bliss in
case of trouble.
A bitter feeling against Americans
was manifested in Juarez by Salazar's
troops following the shooting.

important information for Which Cor
ductor of indianapolis Car Held
the Passengers.

The South East street car was hur>
rying on its way toward the end of
the line. Near the ten hundred block
the single line branches out into a
switch. The cars slow up and the
passengers, generally known person.
ally by the conductor, often have time
to exchange pleasantries as the cars
pass. A German woman was on the
car coming downtown the other day.
AS the car slid On the switch and
started to pass the other she got up
excitedly and waved toward the car
headed for the end of the line.
"Oh, Charlie, Oh, Charlie!" she
shouted at youth on the other
car, evidently her son, on his way
home. Charlie did not catch the sig
nal at first, and the cars gathered
speed.
Charlie. Charlie" came the voice,
this time more insistent. Then Char
lie looked around and saw the other
car going Off the switch, with the
woman still waving eXcitedly.
The motorman was aroused by this
time and, thinking that the summons
was urgent. stopped the car and
Charlie jumped off and made a bee

She met him at the door. ~ just
wanted to say that the key is under

And Charlie jumped off, waved at his
conductor and caught his car amid the
cheers of the other passengers.--In-

Banana Eaters,

Americans used to be called nation
Of pie eaters. Today a more appro-
pirate term would be a nation of ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds Of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Partois due to
accident; a Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while it was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason one may
choose to give, the United States is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains
the Jamaica growers best friend.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT HOT SPRINGS
The LOSS WILL AMOUNT TO
ABOUT $6,ooo,ooo.
Hundreds Of Buildings Covering Fifty
City Blocks Are Laid Waste for
Mile and a Half.

Hot Springs, Ark.-A crowd of curl,
GUS slghtseers estimated at between
5000 and 5000 people visited Hot
Springs Sunday. The crowd would
have undoubtedly been larger had not
the railroads at the request of the
Hot Springs relief committee refused
to run special trains.
Two companies of the Arkansas
militia took charge of the situation
and did efficient work in patrolling
the city. AS result there was no
disorder of any kind. There has been
no looting, and the members of the re.
lief committee are taking every pre-
caution to see that no undue adyan-
tage is taken of the thousands made
homeless by Fridays conflagration.
The relief committee is solving the
problem of housing the sufferers in a
satisfactory manner.
Latest estimates OF the losses did
not fluctuate much from an average
OF $6,O00,000 of property loss. No
definite movement has been made to
estimate the insurance.
Hot Springs, Ark.-Ten million dol
lars property loss, fifty blocks laid
waste, two thousand people homeless,
Is the story of the most destructive
cQnflagration which ever visited Hot
Springs. The fire Friday swept a dis
trict seven to ten blocks in width,
from Hot Springs Mountain on the
east to West Mountain, distance of
a mile and half,
Human ingenuity and modern fire
apparatus availed nothing against the
resistless force Of the flames, famed
by a shifting gale which carried it
first in one direction and then an
other, threatening the entire city at
times. Aided by the Little Rock fire
department the local fire-fighting force
battled with the flames for almost ten
hours, fighting hopeless battle at
every stage, and succeeding only in
diverting the course of the fire from
the principal business section and the
reservation.
General Manager Dillon of the pub
lie utilities, the plant of which was
destroyed, stated that temporary light
and power will be supplied within
thirty days and that in ninety days
the utilities will be working to their
capacity again. The natural gas sup
ply was not interfered with.
The fire originated in some frame
negro cabins within a block of the
Army and Navy hospital Under ordi-
nary conditions the fire would have
been extinguished with slight loss, but
the drouth of the past two months
had made the buildings so inflam-
mable and strong wind blowing from
the northwest soon carried the fire
to thickly populated business and
residence section on Malvern avenue,
where it spread to nearly half mile
ia width, and sweeping south, ate
through section of the city more
than mile in length, destroying hun
dreds of buildings, including some of
the principal business houses of the
city.

A little girl came down to dessert
at a dinner party, and sat next to her
mother. This lady was much occupied
in talking to her neighbors and omit

After some time the little girl, unable
to bear it any longer, with sobs ris-
ing in her throat, held up her plate
and said: Does anybody want clean

Have a form of Goodness, but deny
the power thereof
Now we see from this statement of
ST. Paul to Timothy why we do not
hear much about the old fashioned
hell of the Bible. The world wants
preacher who can Smooth down
the rugged truths to ears polite, and
snugly keep damnation out of sight"
In other words the hell of Gods re-
vealed word is not popular with a
self-loving pleasure seeking, f1esh-i
dulging world.
/ know of an instance where a fash
ionable- preacher had not mentioned
the word, hell, in the pulpit in 50
long that one Sunday morning upon
speaking of the word, hell, he liked to
have scared a prominent cotton buyer
into heart failure.
The cotton buyer had a large lot OF
cotton on hand, and he thought the
preacher said the price of cotton 'fell''
when he mentioned the word, hell"
The most formidable move satan is
now making on the world is his or
ganized, relentless efforts TO eliminate
the awful doctrine of hell from the
teachings of Gods word.
Satan is busy today sending his doc
trine of 'No hellism' everywhere. Re
Gently q popular magazine writer, who
holds to the no hellistic doctrine has
written an article in which he indicates
and SCOTS and laughs at the idea OF
a future hell of fire. He winds up
his article against the doctrine of a
hell of unquenchable fire for the
wicked by asking where did this fright
full idea come fro m?
Then about the same time we notice
brilliant, beautiful woman on her
way via New York to Chicago to open
the National Convention of Liberal
Leagues. as she had just returned from
the international Free Thought Con
Eress at Brussels-Says this woman,
who belongs to that class of Fell
thinkers Hell is a man made in
vention They found hell useful for
nearly 1000 years to intimidate weak
minded women and keep them in what
they chose to designate woman's
sphere of subsection and silence--But
civilization has eliminated this hor-
rible belief from the heart of man as
it has overcome other frightful crimes
and brutalities,' so says this woman Of
the free thinkers, as they call them
selves.
Now she says Hell is man made
invention, and calls it a frightful crime
and brutality" And the popular mag
azine writer's (referred to awhile ago.,
asks where did this frightful idea (as
he calls IT'D come from anyway? Well
let US answer these free thinkers.
Where did this frightful idea of hell
of eternal burning. where the fires
never shall be quenched--come from?
This idea of eternal punishment into
everlasting fire for the wicked-Where
indeed did it come from? How came
If in the world? Let us see. Let us
take up the earliest history of the

world. and that perhaps is the history
OF Egypt We study the religious his
tory of Egypt. They taught the doc
trlne OF the TRANSPORTATION of souls
Ihat Is. that the soul after death
would pass into some other being and
after going from one stage of atone
ment to another would finally return to
the body. Hence the reason the Egyp-
tlans were so careful in embalming
and preserving the dead body. They
believe that if the body was DESTROYED
the soul would be doomed to wander
eternally through space But the
Egyptians did not give to the world the
frightful idea of an unquenchable hell
OF nre- So we study the religious his
tory of every nation of the world, and
none of them brought this horrible be-
life OF hell of fire for the wicked.
Well, it had to get into the world
Somebody brought it. Now let us ask
who?
Now, we are prepared to answer.
Who, indeed. Let US see. He who
when he found a poor woman suffer
ing in body and soul from sin never put
one bitter pang either in her body or
soul-but bid all the suffering flee
away. He who when he found
man ruined and bent and tortured by
sin in its dreadful blight lifted him
up and restored him to his right mind
causing him to leap out of his dark
dwelling among the toombs of despair
and speaking to his soul the peace be
STILL
The meek and lowly Jesus. He, who
never caused one single son or daugh-
ter to suffer pain or sorrow. He, who.
while on earth, went about doing good
to all men. He it is, Jesus Christ,
the Son of the Living Cod that
brought the doctrine of a hell of ever
lasting fire for the wicked. Jesus
Christ tells the world all it knows
about hell of fire. And this is deeply
significant. Why did not God send this
frightfu1 ideas to the world by Moses
Abraham or one of the prophets-It is
as though God said-It is such a fright
full place. that if I send it to the world
by Moses or Abraham or one of the
prophets they might find some excuse
in not believing them-but it is such
frightful place that I will send the
truth, the doctrine of an unquenchable
hell of fire by my only begotton son.
and surely they will believe him.
So not to believe in a hell of eternal
punishment, in unquenchabIe- ERE is
not to believe in Jesus Christ. For if
there is no hell of FIRE, there is no
Christ. For Jesus tells US all we know
of hell The meek and lowIy gentle
Jesus brings this frightfuI idea 20 the
world.
