BIG TRANSACTION
IN TAMAULIPAS
Large Timber Interests South and
West of Matamoros Sold.
Millionaire Purchasers Will Take-Out
Timber On Large Scale One Owns'
Furniture Factory Which Will
Consume the Hardwoods.
The sale of the timber on art-
extensive tract of timbered land in
Northern Tamaulipas, lying south
and west of Matamoros, is reported
by a recent press dispatch from
Tampico, the purchasers being
Eduardo de la Garza and Ciro
Mendez, both millionaires of San
Luis Potosi, the owners of the land
being Antonio Quintanilla and
Simon Rodriguez. The transaction
does not include the land but sim
ply all the timber on it.
It is said that associated with
Mendez and de la Garza are other
captalists of Mexico City and San
Luis Potosi and that it is the in
tention to begin at once taking out
timber on a large scale. One of
those" interested in the scheme is
the proprietor of San a Luis Potosi
furniture factory and this concern
will consume a large part of the
available hard woods taken from
the tracts. Ties will be taken out
and a large cord wood business
also started.
At least one saw mill is to bi
erected. The timber all lies along
the Matamoros branch of the
National lines and this fact will
greatly facilitate the transportation
problem.
AMERICAN f-LAG IS INSULTED
Honduras Revolutionists Pulled Down
Rag and Then Tore It Into Pieces.
News comes from Honduras that
at La Cieba a few days ago, Gen
eral Isauela, the revolutionary lead
er, pulled down an American flag
from the house of an American and
then tore the flag to pieces. Isauela
was in command at Trujillo as
revolutionary representative, but
marched to La Ceiba, x where he
committed the outrage, against the
American flag.
It has been about thirty-five
years since a revolutionery leader,
Gen. Streber, tore down the Amer
ican flag at Omoa and perpetrated
an unmentionable indignity upon
it and for which his buttons were
cut off in the plaza of Comayagiia,
the United States flag run up and
saluted by twenty-one guns.

ord."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by .constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed cont
dition of .the mucons lining Of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflata
ed yon have a rumbling sound or iinper-1
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube- restored to its normal condition,
hearing -will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused hy Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucons surfaces.
We will give. One Hundred Dollars for
any case-of Deafness (caused by catarrH)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
