GENERAL OFFICERS* DECIDE TO
REBUILD IT AS |T WAS BE-
FORE THE FIRE.
DAMAGE IS $25000
The Estimate of the Loss by the Fire
of Today a Week ago is Again
Cut Down.
The Sunset passenger station will
not be enlarged but rebuilt the same
as it was before the fire destroyed the
roof of that structure today a week
ago. This was the advice received by
Hank Small superintendent of bridges
and buildings this morning.
After a careful estimate of the dam-
age done by the fire the general of-
ficers at Houston say the loss will not
exceed $25000 and the general accept-
ed theory is that the blaze originated
from a defective wire.
Mr. Small in speaking of rebuilding
the roof on the building this morning
said:
"We are now simply awaiting lum-
ber which is now on the road and as
soon as It arrives the actual work of
construction will begin. When the
roof of rhe station is completed there
will not be one person in a thousand
who will know that a destructive fire
raged there last Tuesday as the struc-
ture and interior will be the same as
it was before the blaze occurred.”
All members of the S. A. Aerie No.

the Aerie rooms tomorrow evening

SLICED HAM IN
THE MAIL BOX
BOX HAD EVIDENTLY BEEN MIS-
TAKEN BY SOME VISITOR FOR
A package of nicely sliced ham was
taken out of a mail box this morning
uv Henry Mitchell one of' the car-
riers engaged in "taking up” the mall.
'1 he mall box is one of the large ones
placed for the convenience of people
who mail papers and packages of mer-
chandise. It. lihn- ethers of its class
closelv resembles boxes placed in
some towns by civic societies for the
reception of trash.
It is supposed that some of the
visitors in town sized it up for a trash
box and tossed in the bale of sliced
ham to get rid of it. A close inspec-
tion of the box failed to disclose any-
thing resembling crackers to go with
the ham.

WAREHOUSENOT
DISCONTINUED
HAS PROVEN OF GREAT CONVEN-
lENCE TO LOCAL BUSINESS IN-
TERESTS TO PRESENT TIME.
The current report that the Uluted
States bonded warehouse recently es-
tablished here had been abolished is
Incorrect. Messrs. C. F. & H. Guen-
ther are advertising ths bonded ware
house in foreign countries to induce
business. The warehouse has not
proven a paying Investment to the
present time and recently the store
keeper was let out. Deputy Collector
cf Customs Emmet G. Rountree has
charge of the warehouse and will act
as storekeeper pending an Increase
in business which will justify the sal-
ary of the regular storekeeper.
It is confidently expected that when
the existence of the bonded warehouse
in San Antonio becomes generally
known among Importers it will be
liberally patronized. It has proven of
great convenience to local business In-
terests up to the present time.

WHITE FLAGUE
Its Extermination is -
Prevention 2 s -
There are a great many articles now
appearing in print on the subject ot
consumption whose ravages are on
the increase not only in America but
also in Europe.
That there should be a systematic
and determined warfare against this
awful disease - is now becoming evi-
dent to all persons having at heart
the welfare of the human race.
A well known physician who has
made tuberculosis a study for a num-
ber of years states most emphatical-
ly that the majority of cases of con-
sumption originate in a neglected cold
or cough. This causes inflammation
and weakening of the lungs and ren-
der them liable to the attacks of the
tubercle germ which at present is
very prevalent. He also states that
the new soluble form of pins is prob-
ably the most powerful active agent
ever known for the quick relief of
acute and chronic colds and for heal-
ing and stimulating the lungs and
bronchial tubes.
Inquiry at a leading drugggtst's elic-
ited the information that the pine
product above referred to is known
as Concentrated oil of pine and the
formula for its use is as follows: One-
half ounce of Concentrated o’l of pine-
two ounces of glycerine half pint ot
whiskey; mix and shake thoroughly
and use in tablespoon doses every
four hours. ■_ __
The Concentrated oil of pine comes
put up for medicinal use only In half-
ounce vials enclosed In round airtight
screw-top cases which protect It from
atmospheric (badges an d retain all
the original ozone. U should not bd
confused with tome pattol urdlcinsn
that are pnt out under similar names
and style of iMckags. These owing
to <heir Impurities and the faet that
they are net soluble aro liable to pr»
duce permanent ktduey disorders.
