Capt. Shatter left last evening for
the City of Mexico where he will spend
a week in attendance upon a series of
meetings of the importing customs’
agents of all the railroads and steam
ship lines in the Republic. They will
rub heads, compare notes, give and re-
ceive suggestions for improving service
for the companies they represent and
the public; and, besides having a useful
convention, they will undoubtedly have
a great good time. It is three years
since they had a similar gathering.
Mr. Harvey Watkins is on his way
home from the far East. His mother
has just received from him a large
postal folder inscribed on board a Jap-
anese S.S. liner on Christmas day. The
folder is an artful combination of a
pretty Japanese view and a neatly
printed program of an entertainment
given on board in which Harvey took
part in a reading. He is directly en
route for New York to confer with the
big wholesale chemists whom he still
represents with headquarters at Shang-
hai. He expects to reach Eagle Pass
about the end of this month.

Mr. W. J. Niggli, manager of the
State Bank and Trust Co., left on Wed-
nesday for San Antonio to spend a
week under the care of the specialist
from Chicago, who has been treating
him for some time. The specialist
spends six months in San Antonio and
six in Chicago, and last summer Mr.
Niggli was with him in Chicsgo. He
has been steadily improving under the
treatment, and his many friends here
hope that he will have entirely recov-
ered ere the specialist returns to
Chicago.
Mr. W. F. Collett, formerly of Eagle
Pass, but now auditor and general
freight agent of the Crystal City and
Uvalde Railroad Co., with headquarters
at Crystal City, was here this week
attending to the shipment of his house-
hold goods to the last {temed place,
where he will reside. Mrs. Collett and
little ones are now in Crystal City.
Mr. Collett says that section is being
rapidly developed, that new people are
coming in on every train and taking
up lands and ' transforming them into j
up-to-dote farms. He thinks Crystal j
City is destined to become a large town
in the near future. The new railroad
now runs trains on regular schedule to
that town, and the construction is be-
ing pushed toward Carrizo Springs, it
being the intention of the company to
have the road in operation to Carrizo
Springs by the 1st of March. Mr. Col-
lett says traffic on the new road is very
good, but at present there is more
freight being hauled in than is being
taken out, owing to the rapid develop-
ment of the country. In a short while
this will he reversed.

at the Mesquite Club for three
nights an$ matinees, starting
Monday, January 17.
. For the opening night the
Company will present a drama-
tization of Ouida’s greatest novel
of French military life, “Under
Two Flags, ” in which Blanche
Bates scored in for a number of
seasons. Miss Ewing will be
seen as the exponent of this
beautiful soldier story and will
portray the part of “Cigarette,”
which affords her many oppor-
tunities. Vaudeville plays quite
a part with the Company and
six high class specialties are
carried for the occasion. Miss
Ewing Co. is well known in Ea-
gle Pass and no doubt the capa-
city of the playhouse will be
tested more than once during
the short stay in our city. There
will be an entire change of pro-
gram each night and it would be
well to secure seats early at the
Eagle Pass Drug Co. Prices are
to remain as usual—35c, 50c and
75c.
