caused a request for information as to
the report that the congregation con-
templated withdrawal from this presby-
tery and afliation with the San An-
tonio body. Delegates from the church
denied that any such action was con-
templated.
A recommendation by the committee
of the granting of a letter to Rev. C.
Polk Goodson, former pastor of the
Austin church, called for a criticism of
his action in the severance of“his rela-
tions with the local church by Rev.
W. E. Copeland, pastor of the Rock-
dale charge, who charged that neither
the church nor the presbytery had been
treated with proper courtesy and con-
sideration by the former pastor.
At the morning session devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev. J. C.
Walker of Goldthwaite, following
which delegates to the general assem-
bly to meet at Dallas were selected.
Rev. W. M. Speegle of Davilla was
chosen delegate, with Rev. C. D. Bates
of Hutto as alternate. Messrs. Mc-
Collum and Harrell were appointed
elders. At 11 o'clock the morning ser-
mon was delivered by Rev. T. A. Leach
of Bertram, who spoke of the import-
ance of the aid of the Holy Spirit in
preaching.
Services last night were conducted by
the Woman’s Missionary society, Mrs.
M. F. Cowdon presiding. At the close
of the service a collection for missions
was taken, each person present going
to the altar and making their contri-
bution. The sum thus realized was
327.02.
The prebsytery will reconvene at 9
o'clock this morning and continue Its
sessions throughout the day. No
preaching service will be held In the
morning, however, to enable the body
to complete its business. The schedule
of Sunday services has not been com-
pleted, but in the evening the body will
attend a mass meeting in the Intereat

ation at the opera house.

Mlle. Van Corder hue been with tho
camnval company lor forty-two month,
and twice dally has gone Into tho ilon’s
den and performed’ her group act.
There are four lions, Prince, Orpheus,
Julia and schley.. Schley la the largest
of the quartette and was the one which
attacked Mlle. Van Gorder. Ie was in
a particularly ugly humor when the
lady entered the cage and sulked tn
his act. To rouse him she fired twice
with her blank cartridge pistol, all the
ume keeping her distance. At the sec-
ond shot Schley rushed forward end
ran over his distance by at least tlx
inches. Before Mlle. Van Gorder could
retreat he had torn off the waist of
the black silk dress she was wearing
and clawed the forefinger on her right
and. To lose her presence of mind
would have meant Instant death, ro
with her heavy club in one hand and
the blank cartridge pistol in the other,
she began to back toward the door,
firing twice and using the club. The
shot distracted the lion and he cow-
ered as if ready to spring, until the
door was safely closed.
Mile. Van Gorder had with her the
loaded revolver, without which she
never enters the lion's cage, it being
to use when all other means have
failed to save her life in such cases as
that of Wednesday night.
Jail Sentence Remitted.
The jail sentence of five months

"The washing away of the Austin

said one of the delegates to the Austin

steamer which was run on the lake
formed by the dam, and much evil re-
sulted."
This expression of opinion, which
met with no applause, however, was

Gaskill-Mundy Zoo.
At every exposition in this country
and abroad the star feature has al-
ways been the marvelous trained wild
animal exhibition, where the very
acme of human courage and daring,
the apex of wild animal intelligence
and subjugation, together with a su-
Ferlative degree of educational zoolog-
ical features, are the combined, stillant
characteristics of the world’s resources
and a lifetime’s plucky effort, a perse-
verance and experience as represented
by the great Gaskill-Mundy Carnival
company, which will be seen here next
week. The efforts of the others in
I similar lines extend the world around.
The exterior of the wild animal show
is a mass of rare painting, carving and
gilding and electric lighting, and rep-
resents the very highest degree of the
decorator’s art. Around the sides of
the interior are the great cteel-barred
cages wherein is shown the brute
creation fully and complete.
Performances are given In this
greatest of all carnival shows every
thirty minutes from 1 to 11 o’clock in
the evening.
Mlle. Van Gorder opens the trained
wild animal show with her perform-
ing leopards Hons and jaguars. In the
large stagelike arena at the center of
the tent. Long before she is half fin-
ished with the handling of her unusual
pets the public is satisfld with the
show.
Mlle. Van Gorder causes her animals
to perform all kinds of unexpected
stunts, and although one of her lions,
by name "Dewey," seems to be de-
veloping Into what is known ns h dan-
gerous fellow—a ’ bad lion'—.still by
dint of the mastery of humnn ntollec t
over brute obstreperousness she forces
him to do her bidding.

Stewart E. Hallum and wife, of
Athens, Tex, who have been the
Notice to Taxpayers, Travis County.
The new election law requires all
qualified voters living in Austin to take
out either a poll tax receipt or an ex-
emption certificate and all in Travis
county outside of the city a poll tax
receipt before the 1st day of February
1904 to enable them to vote.
These receipts and certificate are
separate from the property tax re-
ceipt and can not be made out until
they are applied for. It takes from
three to five minutes to make one out
and as more than half the time for
their issuance has expired and not one-
thirtieth of them applied for, It will be
seen that unless the voters come and
get them at once the vote of this coun-
ty will be very light next year.
You can not vote without these re-
ceipts and certificates and you can not
get them unless you apply for them.
Would it not be wise to provide your-
■elf with one before It is too late?
Later on this office will be crowded
with people paying their property tax
to escape the penalty and if the voters
will not come in time and let me wait
on them the fault will be theirs.
