COLONY RATES RENEWED
passenger association re-
vives SPECIAL RATES WEST.
JUAREZ AGAIN IN LINE FOR THE
UNWARY.
New Lines of Mexican Central Being
Surveyed in Durango. Hidalgo and
Vera Crux—Extensive Improve-
ment* Contemplated.
Ancient Games Revived for the Bene-
fit of the Guileless, Who Learn Only
by Sharp Experience.
In spite of the vigorous protests
that have been made by some of the
lines of the Western Passenger asso-
ciation the Southern Pacific will es-
tablish colonists' rates this year ns
it did last year. The rate will be $30
from’ Chicago to coast points and will
take effect the middle of February
and continue to April 30.
Last year, when the same nrrange-
tr,flits were mad-* bv Pacific coast lines
between 50,000 and 00,000 settlers
went to the < oast, and a good per cent
r< nialned, because they. went for
that particular purpose.
This action on the part of the South-
ern Pacific, in the face of objections
from the northern trans-conlinental
lines, certainly means a big move-
ment of homesekers to the coast—and
may mean a rate war, which would
take hundreds of thousands to the
ccast under present conditions.
It has not been decided by the Mex-
ican Central Railway company when
work will he commenced on the Du-
rango line, for which concessions have
just been secured from the govern-
ment. L. W. Miller has returned to
the City of Mexico from that part of
the country, where he lias been in
charge of surveying parties for tile
line, but as yet nothing definite has
been detrained upon. The line, as
cow proposed, will run from Gutier-
res, a short distance north of the city
of Zacatecas on the main line of the
Central, crossing the Nieves river
r.eai Rio, thence south through Som-
brtrete to Durango rt will likely he
some time before the work is com-
menced, as there is a great deal of
other work being done, which Is de
n ending the attention of the com-
pany at this time. When the line is
completed, another of the important,
cities of the republic will then tie
r< ached by the Central. The city of
Durango is fast becoming an impor-
tant one in Mexico, principally on ac-
cf.nnt of the mines near there.
Five locating parties are now at
work on the proposed line to be built
by the Mexican Central between Pa
ehuca and Tampico, it is the inten-
tion of the Central to build a line cf
road between this city and Tampico
whereby the trip can be made In ten
hiurs. Tampico !b recognized as one
of the best ports in the republic, and
the Central is not slow to see the ad
vantage of furnishing rapid transit
between that point and this city. The
route has not yet been decided upon.

PLUCKED THE PIGEONS
Juarex is coming to the front again
as a successful field for the operation
of crooks and confidence men. Yes-
terday two strangers reported to the
El Paso police that they had been
swindled hi Juarez to the tune of $15
each.
The old familiar padlock game was
successfully worked in each case. One
of the victims, a six footer, in blue
jeans, a broad hat and top boots, told
of his experience to the police.
He said he was loitering in Juarez
when ho was accosted hv a swell
dressed young man who talked in a
friendly manner and suggested that
inasmuch as both were strangers that
they take a stroll together. He pro-
posed to go over to look at the Mexi-
can Central depot, which, he said, was
one of the, finest In the country.
The visitor consented, and as they
were passing across a vacant lot the
eou man found a sjnal! padlock lying
on the ground.
‘That's a funny little lock," he said,
'it must have been lost from the col-
lar of some lady’s lap dog."
It was locked and he tried to open
it, finally succeeding by touching a
spring. The visitor was by this time
very much Interested, and soon after-
wards a third young man joined them,
and after examining the lock closely
declared that It touM not he opened.
Tho con man bet him *1 t bat ho could
unlock it. and won. Still the other
wasn't satisfied and offered to bet $-15
that he could not repeat the trick.
“Oh. 1 don't want to take your
money from you.” said the con man.
"but my friend here (meaning the vis-
itor! can bet If he wants to."
The visitor thought it was just like
finding money, and readily wagered
$45 that he could unclasp the lock.
He took it in his hands to show how.
easy it could be done, but in the mean-
time another lock, without the secret
spring, had been substituted.
The stranger tried hard to open the
device, and, failing, became rattled.
He finally gave up and the money was ,
paid the other fellow.
At this moment a fourth man, pre-
tending to be an officer, came running
up and said:
"What are you fellows doing there?
It looks to me like you are gambling,
and i'll just run In the whole bunch.”
The three men took to their heels,
and the stranger, whose money was
in possession of one of the bunco men,
afterwards learned that he had been
swindled. Yesterday lie ami another
man who had been robbed in a similar
manner toid their troubles to Chief
White, who is making an effort to
recover their money.
STATE UNIVERSITY.
Every two years for the past twenty
the regents of the state university
have issued their report to the gov
ernor. The latest report, just received
by us, contains many facts of interest
to the everyday man and woman
•which show how near to the heart of
the people the great university comes.
During the past session there wore
1,378 matriculates, who came from
140 counties of the state, and repre-
sented every class of citizenship. One
hundred and fifty-throe students
worked to defray their expenses, and
256 earned the necessary funds be-
fore they came. At University Hail
200 young men live at an expense
$16 each per month lioard, while fif-
teen others get free hoard in returr
for services as waiters. There are hi.
charges for tuition, and students gei
the splendfd opportunities of univer-
sity training, for which in other insti
tutions of equal grade they would
have to pay hundreds of dollars, abso-
lutely without a cent tuition. Since
the establishment of the university as
the head of the public school system,
there have been 10,659 students who
received these opportunities. Many
of these have gone out from the uni-
versity and now occtipy high stations
In life. Four of the Texas congress-
men are university graduates, and
scores of others, as the report shows,
arc holding prominent teaching posi-
tions in our great universities, nota-
bly Yale, Chicago, Cornell. Harvard,
' anil several of the state universities.
Besides benefiting the state by send-
ing out well trained men. the univer-
sity is aiding in the development of
the state in other practical directions.
The university mineral survey- i*
making valuable special reports on
the hidden mineral resources of the
state. The school of zoology and bot-
any are studying Texas animal and
plant conditions. The engineering de-
partment is also aiding in a practical
way, and has just issued a bulletin on
rice culture in Texas, which will tend
to develop that new Industry. Tbe law
department is making special effort
to graduate ea[table men into whose
hands the interests of the public may
be safely committed. Next session,
the law course is to be extended to
three years. The medical department
at Galveston has thoroughly repaired
and re-equipped its building* and has
a large attendance.
The rapid growth of the university
has made the need of more buildings
imperative. The law classes ought
to be provided with rooms in another
building. The engineering depart-
ment. which alone has over 100 stu-
dents and is confined to two small
rooms, should have an entire building
Will Pay $12,000 for Wife.
John Fisher of Wtlkesbarre, Pa,, de-
sires a wife, and is willing to give
$12,000 n cash to the woman who
meets his ideal and is willing to be-
come Mrs. Fisher. These are Iho
qualifications that the woman who
steks to win Mr. Fisher must pos-
mss:
She must he a widow.
She must be childless.
She must he close to 35.
She should lie a German.
She must he able to run a imullry
ynrd.
She must know something about
fanning.
She must be kind.
As an offset against these require-
ments this the sort of a husband slic
will get if she weds Mr. Fisher:
He. is kino.
He is true.
He Is fond of homo
He is a bachelor.
He is just 47.
He Is well-to-do.
He is handy around the house.
He has not married because lie
r.i ver met tho right sort of a woman.
Mr. Fisher admits that lie is bash
ful. and prefers to make known his
quest, of a wife through the medium
of the public press rather than bub
ir person. He lives at 36 Northamp-
ton street, Wilkesbarre. Mr. Fisher
wishes it distinctly understood that
no woman, even though she lie pos-
si seed of $1,000,900, need apply if Bhe
has children.

Busch Brewing association, which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue, con-
tains some interesting figures which

reached the record-breaking figures of
*9,790,300 I Kittles.
The entire output of the Anheuser-
Busch brewery for the past year was
!,109.315 barrels—more beer than whs
ever produced by one brewery in the
same length of time.

This vastly exceeds any other American brewery and is a greater
output than that of the combined breweries of Pilsen,
Bohemia, or the three largest breweries in Germany.
The phenomenal success of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associa-
tion, by far the youngest of the large brewing plants of this
country, is attributable to the use of the very best materials,
the most modern methods of production and the courte-
ous treatment of customers and the general public.
