MONDAY JULY 10 1883.
The Richmond Nation says that Herman
Contsnt & Co. advertising agents New York
are frauds and that it has the documents to
prove the statement.
TllK business men of Lampasas have sub-
scribed to a purse of $110 to be paid as a
premium on the first bale of cotton brought
to that market from the counties of Lampasas
Burnet and Llano.
The Dallas Times in an envious mood
gets oft' the following: "The polo fever has
struck San Antonio and the game of montc
which has held almost undisputed sway in
that city for over a century is for the first
time neglected.
The Houston age makes a good suggestion
in the following : "San Antonio has a Howie
streeL and a Crocket street ; and it would be
a happy thought if she had streets enough to
have one named for every hero who was mas-
acred in the Alamo."
The Bandera Bugle answers a leading
question very fully in this item : '"Why go
to Texas t is a question which is being asked
by thousands of tongues over the world. Our
answer is because of the superior advanta-
ges which the climate offers to farmers and
stock raisers over those found in colder lati-
tudes and to the working man because he
has comparatively speaking no broken time.
He can work if he chooses u months in
every 12. Where is the industrial country
with a climate that allows this f"
The rapid growth oi Texas is illustrated in
the following from the Morgan Argonaut :
"Three years ago Morgan was a howling
wilderness. Her present site was a vast farm.
Then came the Texas Central railroad and
a little later the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe
road. Then over a part of the soft plowed
ground of this vast farm Mr. W. H Leckett
built a small shanty ; this liltle shed wilh a
dirt floor was the first mercantile store in Mor-
gan. Then came the influx of population ;
stores and dwellings appear like a harlequin
and to-day Morgan has stores to compete
with towns twice her size ; three hotels that
cannot be be beat in any community and as
good a school if not better than any lor 50
miles around. Add to this the beautiful lo-
cation and healthlul climate mingle with all
this the energy and sociability of her citizens
and then doubt if you can that this flourishing
ljtlle village promises to be the future great I
am of Bosque county."
TilK KUTAUAGA PAUTY.
The proposed constitutional amendments
are meeting wilh considerable opposition from
the non-progressive element in the State
principally because ol the greater liberality
expressed in relation to the school laws and
the supposed increase of certain taxes. While
the amendments are not all that could be
desired in the way of improvement yet they
remedy some very glaring defects in the State
constitution and once adopted we believe
will met with the approbation 01 an public
spirited citizens and voters generally who
wish to see and experience an improvement
In the educational facilities of the State will do
themselves and the rising generation a favor
if they vote for the adoption of the amend-
ments. The constitution ol Texas Is one that
needs a very great amount of patching to make
It conform to the requirements of this nine-
teenth century. And the "Rutabaga" party
need about the same improvement in order to
keep pace with the times and it is to be hoped
that they will not exercise any great Influence
upon the Issues involved and that they will
be In the minority "by a large majority.
when the votes are counted.

What Ourreip-Midimt Hit to Say About
tlm Smith llltturbHiicD.
Editor Pan Antonio Lniiit:
San Antonio July 15. Uy your permission
I wish to say a word 011" an Antonio Is 11 hell."
It Is not my business to dcieiid Mrs. Smith but
to defend the right. Tho Express reporter
either leojlved an untrue statomont of facta or
willfully misrepresented.
I wns present during the whoIculTalr except
ing when on tho street in quest of u police. I
illd not henr nny claim for rent of hall present
ed though 1 did hear Smith and wife say that
the ball was theirs aim paid for; und tho man
raising tho disturbance said ho was after the
prln'er's bill only.
As to the language attributed tn Mrs. Smith
"rulllan" "rulllaiily scoundrel" Is not tho
truth anil Mrs. S's appeal was not to remain to
hear hnr through but to befriend them against
a dreaded danger. Afterward at tho solicita
tion or sovorai panic sue eousenicu iu go 011.
I know nothing about tlie honesty Intentions
or ability of tho parties to pay tho bills and it
makes no difference to the principles lu ques-
tion. The man In entering the hall In tho manner
ho did trampled not upon tho rights of the
lectures as on the rlvhlsof tho audience de-
priving them of that for which thoy had paid
and to bo mild was discourteous unmanly
and manlllcstcd a want of respect for tho
rhts oiothcrs as also seirrespect.
Yhero the travelers were when tho police
were looking for them Is no more of a inlstery
than where tho police were when I was looking
for them.
Thu onlv excontlon th it I could take to tho
language of Mrs. Smith was hur eh.irgu 011 thu
police ami tnat 1 eouiu nor disprove iters
was tho language of u sulrltod woman feeling
the Insult nlfered.
Hut to nmlto 0110 other correction -there
was 110 arrest until after the lecture.

The Chess and Cheoker Club Meet Ofllo ers
Hiid Arrange for Work.
The San Antonio Chess and Checker club
met on Saturday and completed their organi
zation by electing the following permanent
officers. President Mr. Henry Ryder-Taylor;
Vice-President Mr. John II. Copcland; Secre-
tary Mr. Gerald Griffin Treasurer Mr. L.
Madarasz of the San Antonio National bank.
Committee of management Messrs. John
Norcross William Holland P. T. Field and
the officers as ex officio members. It was
reported that the President had leased a club
room In Groos' building and the committee
received instructions to arrange for its furnish-
ing and opening as soon as possible. The
first friendly match under the auspices of the
club occurred on Saturday. The combatants
were Mr. F. T. Field and Mr. John Norcross.
After a very good game Mr. Norcross made
a false move and soon afterwards gave up the
contest.
WASSON'S PltOSPUUTS.
It la Innluuated that thn Convicted Kx-
Paymaster Premeditates Bululde.
The Washington Critic publishes the follow
ing item respecting ex-Paymaster Wasson :
'The War Department has received a com
munication from e(' Paymaster Wasson re-
lating to his membership in the Army Mutual
Aid association. He says: 'My dues in the
organization have been paid up to next De
cember and in ju.tice to my family I hope if
I am dropped it will not be until after that
date.' The communication will be referred
to the committee at its next meeting. It is
hinted by some that Wasson premeditates
suicide while in prison as the above associa-
tion onty disburses upon the death of a mem-
ber and he wants to make sure of the money
before he c mmits the act."
Fred Wurile Coining
Mr Fred Warde who delighted San Anlo-
nians last year appears in the Turner opera
hall during the coming season and will be sup-
ported by the following ladles and gentlemen :
Miss Anna Boyle Miss Sarah Goldberg Miss
Francis Field Miss Flora Gaines Mr. John

Mr. J. A. Ransome Mr. F. W. Jackson Mr

Gustave Ileege Mr. F. Van Horn. His re
pertoire will include thi following plays;
Virginius Richelieu Hamlet Othello Mac
beth Richard HI Damon and Pythias Ingo
mar Julius Caesar Urutus Merchant of
Venice Katherine and Petruchio.
He Hacked Out.
A rather amusing scene occurred at the
Polo match on Saturday when a too zealous
believer in the cow boys' ability to beat the
Britishers was talking loudly of what the cow
boys could and would do during the match.
He wanted to bet that the Englishmen would
not get three goals out of five. An American
gentleman took the wager up and placing
$100 in the Lioht Commissioner's hands
offered lo lay $100-10 $50 that the Britishers
I would do better than that. The cow bovs'
advocate sobered down immediately refused
the wager and was silent'during the remain
der of the match.
It Wuulil be Nice.
Speaking about tho weather
Wouldn't It bo uloo
To turn on tho lea
And allow a stream
Of vanilla cream
To moisten your guzzle ?
And a soda tlx
Attend to Its biz
Cool tho Insldo coat
Of your parching throat
Freeze you to tho muzzle?
"There is no more powerful apparatus for
the conveyance of disease than a book" says
the London Lancet. A list of the maladies
moU easily conveyed by means of books Is
given as follows : "Measles scarlet fever
diohtheria. sore throat whoopinc-couch
bronchitis and perhaps phthisis." 'Ihe
germs of disease "may lie for weeks months
or perhaps years between the pages of a
bound book to be dislodged at some unpro-
pitious moment when the volume chances to
be handled by a susceptible person."
