FEOSI THUE 8 DAY 8 DAILY. MEXICO CIGAR INDUSTRY. One of the best ways known to cut down your bank account yet covered, is to cultivate the habit of wanting. No matter how pleasantly and conservatively any controversy may spring up between two local contemporaries, it almost, invariably ends in a rough house. As IT is becomiug daily more apparent that the bear is going out of fashion, how would it do for some inventive genius to get up something a little Just to amuse the public at large? Now COMES the Caller and intimates that the cause of so many fish being killed in the Corpus Christi bay, may be attributed to the sounds made by the Celestial voices of the singers at that City by the Sea, hee can be no denying the fact, that of all those abominablfc trusts, the sugar trust must be the sweetest of them all, and probably that may be the reason why so many of the big prosecuting attorneys in this country are sucking on it so much all the time.

Hermioos Of Veracruz Lead The Manuftciurers Of That Country In Quality Of Cigar- PROMISED RAIN ARRIVES. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Both The Weather Man And The I Our Central American Neighbors A nyhow notwithstanding all this fussing over the hot weather that has prevailed for several weeks without intermission, our worthy and strenuous governor seems to be taking bis much needed and deserved rest, after keeping everything, from a boys spinning top to a railroad locomotive running on time. It seems that the biggest opposition to any further railroad building in Texas, is confined mostly to those counties that are already filled with them, and dont want to see the undeveloped portions of the state come into eom- petion with them through the facilities offered by railway transportation. Have you noticed it likewise? How does this piece of cruelty to the feminine race as paragraphed in the Corpus Christi Herald by Jeff, ring in the cars of the heroic masculine race; all, it seeuis that the the ladies of Corpus Christi will have to take up the work of suppressing the mosquito.

The men are too busy to even think of the citv health he Laredo Times bows most gracefully to its esteemed contemporary tbe Denison Herald, pleads guilty, and asks for the loan of that world famous split log drag to run over any such suggestions in the future as is speaks of in this paragraph: he akkho imes is making suggestions for tbe Legislature to act upon, Man, man, don't you know that everybody is thankful that the Legislature has adjourned and that thoughis along these lines should be relegated to a distant Have you ever smoked Balsa Hermanos Cigar? We suggest you try one and experience a half hour of pleasure such as you never before experienced from a smoke. The factory of Balsa Hermanos of Veracruz was established in 18d4 ana from the time of tbe organization of the brothers in the cigar industry, the concern has continued to grow in size and reputation until the present time they lead Mexico manufacturers in the great industry and stand shoulder to shoulder with any similar concern in the world. They do not live on the reputation made in earlier days, but manufacture the article that lovers of a good smoke demand and daily add lo their famous standard, Tbe fact that tbe judges of tobacco at the largest expositions in the world have awarded to tbe Balsa Hermanos cigar and leaf tobacco the first premium gold medals is enough guarantee in itself to the smoker that tbe cigar is all that tbe bouse claims for it. At the International Fair at San Antonio the Balsa Hermanos cigar has been luiec uicUtAtd, Ub buC Fair in Chicago, the Pan- American Exposition in Buffalo, the New England Fair, at Boston, tbe exposition at Atlanta, Georgia, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, the Paris Exposition, and the Crystal Palace exposition at London, besides a large number of smaller fairs throughout tbe world have placed the Balsa Hermanos cigar first and there it Stands today.

Mr. Cortina, a representative of tbe house who is in the city at present is enroute to the Alaska-Yukon exposition in Seattle where Balsa Hermanos have a large Laredo Weafher Prophet Strike It This Time A good drizzling drenching rain fell last night and the reputation of'both the weather man and tbe Laredo weather prophet has been saved. A couple of days ago the weather prophet published bis prediction that it would rain before July 2 and be had a good twenty four hours to his credit when the rain fell before tbe time was up. Yesterday tbe weather man predicted to-night or and be also struck the nail on the head and the ruin arrived. Yesterday was a pleasant day as far as temperature goes it only reached and there was a good north breeze and the clouds played about tbe sky the greater part of the day in attempt to shut off the rays of tbe sun.

But in the afternoon a whirling dust storm made things as uncomfortable as possible for everyone. Everything was covered with dust. The popular pose of the day was taken with a feather du.ster in one hand and if there was more than one about, a feather duster in tbe other hand the arms moving in backward forward motion, the dusters brushing everything in reaching distance. It tried hard to rain yesterday afternoon sprinkling a few drops of water ul iutervais uud about six succeeded in loosening up for a little drizzle. This ceased shortly and was continued until night when the rain came in earnest.

The day dawned cloudy and at intervals during the morning tbe drizzle continued. This is the kind of rain that makes the grass grow. A slow drizzle that soaks into the ground until tbe earth is soft and mushy and filled with moisture. Reports from the railroad oftices exhibition and from there he that tbe rain was general in take their entries to San Antonio; this vicinity, Tbe Texas Mexican in time for the exposition in that reports that everybody between city in October. i here and Corpus were treated about One reason for the superior the same.

JosT to think of that county attorney in Texas filing a suit for tbe state of Texas, after giving it only a few weeks attention and then allowed NINETY THOUSAND DOLLAES for his strenuous effort. A sum of money that amounts to ten thousand dollars more than the governor gets for twenty years service to the slate, to gay nothing of his ardorous duties in holding down those regulative legislatures.

Spokane, July interest has been aroused in the problem.s relating to the reclamation of arid and swutnp lands, deep waterways, forestry, conservation of the resources, good roads and home building ko discussed during the 17th session of the National Irrigation Congress in Spokane, August to 14, and there is every indication the attendance will be the largest and most representative in the history of the organization. Railroad presidents, financiers, scientists, government officials, engineers and practical men in other lines of activity have accepted places on the program, and advices to hand show there will be from to delegates, including farmers, orehardists and truck gardeners and visitors from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Colorado, the Dokotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Arizona, Nevada, California and points in flanada, and as many more from Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta. There will also be delegations from Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Florida. South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, VorE and other eastern, middle western and southern states. Insinger, chairman of the board of control, has letters from 25 governors of states and territories west and south of Chicago, saying they will be present one or more days and representatives from Europe, the South American republics, China and Japan are expected to remain throughout the wt-ek.

By Uuiwtl Frcsi. Washington, June 27. The recurrent problem of Central America still confronts Secretary administration like the ghost of the White burden, and the State Department, which is of a mind to wind up and take a demolishing whack at it, is pausing to know Just how to whack Secretary policy of benevolent education conducted on the dipluraatie settlement work plan has not had the desired effect. The little the brothers down on the tropical end of North America are cutting up worse thon ever. There are rumors of revolution, riots, disturbances and every variety of civil unrest, which corne to Washington in telegrams from consular and diplomatic officers and the banana route from Mobile.

President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, has practically run tbe American diplomatic representutives out of Nicaragua. is in itieiiabiiual state of chronic unrest. Guatemala is in the hands of a despot. Salvador and Costa Rica are in constant fear of being svpallowed up by the neighboring tyrants. The State Department files are full of the claims of American citizens, The condition is so unequivocally bad that it seems tbe question is not now, how it is going to end, but when? Next November the new home of the Bureau of American Republics, which represents worth of effort on the part of Andrew Carnegie to induce the Central Americans to enter into the grand movement for peace, will be dedicated to its high mission.

It is a nice marble palace and we may be sure that John Barrett will make a great occasion of the dedication, as he invariably does, but the people down in the revolution belt, civil employees and insurrectos and the few plain people, don't seem to care much about it. It is a safe bet that when the Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Salvadoran and duranian ministers wave their silk hats as their particular flag is floated in the breeze, the folks down borne will be awaiting a chance to start a revolution in their neighbors back yard while thoy keep an eye on the front door. This Central American burden is costing the United Slates a pretty penny every year. At tbe present time live naval vessels are required to do patrol duty along that tropical and perpetually disturbed coast. These are the Duburjue, Vicksburg, Paducah and ii2J men in the combined crews.

These draw in pay alone about a month. There are besides the officers, the cost of maintaining the vessels coal and other items. Considering everything, it costs the United about a year to watch over Central America which doesn't include the upkeep of Andrew peace institution in Washington. The net result has been a lot of chiirns against the gavernments, continued disorder down there and increasing disgust and despair here in Washington. Hospital Closed.

The National Railroad Hosfiital in this city was formally closed today. It was practically closed last week, but finally so today. The employees and have all been moved to Monterrey, where a large hospital will be maintained in the future. The Mercy Hosjrital will be used in the future for cases of the railroad requiring it and in addition Dr. Ilalseil, the comjiany physician has opened an office in Nuevo do for the convenience of the ployes of the company in that city.
