Illi DAY APRIL 28/ 1809.
Bi Si 1 Hi ■
This to most of our older citizens or
San Antonio would be a chestnut and
a roasted one at that; cooked to a fin
Uh or to the queen’s taste. This
motto however wiW apply to almost
anything or everything that pertain*
to the moral mental physical or da
ancial condition or ambition of man
kind (t is not intended in thU aril
cle to enter into the discussion of the
head lines but to call your attention
to the most important point of all.
and that Is making money while time
and opportunity offers. It is a fact
not to be contradicted that by
judicious investment of money great
results can and must be expected
This being absolutely true then why
do we not take advantage of truth
and push our business so that we
have the reward. It will be well at
this point th call your attention to the
fact that our worthy county judge and
his commissioners having the welfare
of our city as well as county at heart
have been working diligently to secure
a lower rate of taxation and by giv-
ing this subject their close attention
have succeeded. So that our citizen*
as well as the strangers who enter our
gates can rest well assured that the
state and county tax can and will be
reduced. In a previous article we
have called attention to what may be
expected from the city and now that
progress is reported from the county
It is to be assumed that
we are going to have con-
siderable reduction in the tax rate*
for the coming years. With these fact*
staring us in the face what is more
fit and proper than to turn our atten-
tion to investments in real estate for
the safe and profitable investment of
your idle capital. San Antonio and
Southwest Texas in general offer sup-
erior inducements at the present time
for safe investments. The great tidal
wave of prosperity that Is now
gradually spreading over the
country will naturally reach
this section and if you ever thought
of doing anything to improve your fin-
ancial condition now is the time to
step forward and get in on the ground
floor before it is everlastingly too late.
Let us call your attention to the fact
that now or never is the time to act.
A few months will roll around and a
true saying “coming events cast shad-
ows before." when you will be com-
pelled to meet advanced prices. Then
why delay in making a purchase of a
home a ranch or property that will
pay good interest on the investment.
We have beeo trying co induce you by
reason and persuasion that there 1*
money for you if you only knew it
by putting money which is only filthy
lucre into dirt and we do not propose
co use coercion as a means of accom-
plishing our end. You certainly have
been advised of future prospects and
if you make a mistake do not lay it at
our door. Now all we ask of you 1*
to come and see or write us and w*
will satisfy you that we can fit yon
out in an up-to-date home vacant lot
farm or ranch at prices that will be
an agreeable surprise to you.

F.vadea Indian Pnranrra and
Urlnwa Hack the Money.
‘There died In Kaaisn* City Kan. the
other day” says the Kansas City Jour-
nal “a quiet unobtrusive modest and
never boastful citizen. He came from
a Pennsylvania regiment in 18414 and
he become a messenger for the Holli-
day Express company running from
Leavenworth to Santo Fe. W. H.
Bridgens the messenger referred to
on one of his tripe had $lOOOOO in green-
backs strapped about his person and
secreted in his clothes. There was no
one butjaim and! the driver in charge of
the coach and for days theyproceeded
along their lonesome Journey without
seeing a human face. When yet many
miles from Banta Fe they were over-
taken by a howling band of Indians
and a fierce battle was fought. Brld-
gema and hie companion exhausted
their ammunition and continued the
fight with their knivea. Finally they
succeeded In unloosing their horses
from the stage and quickly mounting
them fled through the timber. The
savages gave chase and succeeded in
separating the two men but dad not
capture either of them. Mr. Bridgens
still retained his treasure but he lost
hi* way among the cragri and canyon*
and it was more than two weeks before
he found his way to the house of a
white man. During all this time he
subsisted entirely upon berries and
herbs. His long absence caused limem-
ployers to believe that he had been
robbed and killed by the Indians and
before his return they had made good
the money they had given up as lost.
When Mr. Bridgens returned) with his
precious burden still intact they were
amazed and so grateful were they that
they presented-their young agent with
a handsome token of their apprecia-
tion."
SCHOOL FOR BLUSHING.
Paris Has aa Institute for Teachia*
the Simulation of Sweet Hm-
barrassment.
One of the latest novelties of Paris
that city of novelties is a school where
bluahtug is taught. If there is any
place where blushing has become a lost
art one would certainly think it was
Park* but the Parisians on the other
hand declare that it Is a result of
Anglomania and the influence of the
American girl. Theyoung woman who
plays golf or rides a bicycle in “ra-
tional*” in the freest camaraderie with
her male friends is likely to acquire a
sedf-polse which will make the flush
of embarrassment a stranger to her
cheeke and the city where women are
bicycling on the boulevard with their
bare knees exposed has fedt the neces-
sity of a reaction. The claeaic grace
and simplicity of the early yearsiof the
century with their accompanying
downcast eyes and simpers are now-
in vpguo again and the maidens who
have forgotten how to blush are go-
ing to school to learn th# primitive
art. They say it. is easy enough to
droop the eyew and affectpashfulnesa
bnt to call up a mantling color Is as
difficult as pulling eye teeth.
How the crimsoning flow of red
blood to the pallid cheek Is accom-
plished in these fin de siecle schools of
deportment it is hard to imagine un-
less it is that they have taken a page
out of Du Maurier’s joke book and
emulate th* society girl who surprised
her friend by alWajw blushing at the
right time. “How can you manage it?”
asked the other girl enviously. “Oh
it is very easy” the expert blusher re-
plied. “I simply think of something
that makes me blush.”
SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS.
The Haya the TWH Smoke Helebla*
Ones Are Nnmhereid. It

The days of the tall smoke-belching
factory chimneys are numbered ac-
cording to a writer in- the Iron. Trade
Review. Instead there are to be short
•tacksand blowers. For illustration th*
experience of a Boston manufacturing
firm is related. Change* in. the ar-
rangement of the work* necessitated
th* removal of the boiler plant but it
was out of the question to take the
chimney along. In its stead a fan
blower was installed on top of the
boiler* and provided with a special en-
gine to drive it at just the speed re-
quired. It f* automatically regulated

Cwurebaok to whereit belong*. The
works fay suction draws the gaae*
from the boiler flue and forces them
out through a short stock extending
only 81 feet above Ibe Imiterroomfieof.
The draught which may be produced
is two or three times stronger than that
of the chimney which has been dls-
euxjsd and is just as strong its all kinds
of weather while th* cost of the entire
mechanical-draught equipment includ-
ing the stack has befn lew than one-
half of that of A new chimney. Be-
cause of the stronger draught much

about $lOOO pyear.' It i* possible with

Fewer at tke Paris
The total amount of power estimated
m necessary for the Paris exposition is
20000 horse-power of which 15000 is
allotted for lighting and 5000 for mo-
tive power. Upon this assumption
there is allowed a consumption of 440-
000 pounds of steam per hour or for
305 days at seven hours per day a to-
tal of 531300000 pounds of steam for
th* entire period. Thia will require 200
tons of coal a day and th* water re-
quired for condensing purposes is esti-
mated at more than 800000000 cubic
feet for the whole period of the exposi-
tion.
CHARILY WRITES.
From the Country Alh>iii Politics
and Other Matter*.
To Hie Dally Light:
CHAPTER I
Houdo Texas. April 24.-You are
aware that I am no longer
with Mayor Hicks' city administra-
tion at San Antonio; you also a wan*
that lam no longer in the regular
pay rolls of the honest and judicious
advertisers. “Thos. Goggan A Bros.
in San Antonio and yet I have an
occasional goml word for Mayor
Hicks” and many good words for
Goggau Bros. who again haven new
piano here to be delivered today to
Mr. t'hancey with the firm of Messrs.
Jones and Roberts.
Among some of my old Democratic
friends I saw signs of displeasure
when I told them that I would write
for the “Republican” Daily Light
but when I told them that in San
Antonio we had no Democratic* paper
nearer and better related to the best
policies of the party and people than
the Light. I was excused because the
best of all parties is for tin* people.
By tile way. getting into polities
again; against my will eonqiels me to
take notice of one paragraph in Sun-
day’s Light under that 'most interest-
ing and instructive portion headed
"Chords and Discords” and signed
"The Major.”
Ido not know why it is that Mr.
Mose <’. Harris who today in Texas
wields tlie shar|H*st pencil ever held
by brains of man. engaged in journal-
istic work should have allowed the
following question contained in one
of his paragraphs to-wit to get into
the Light:
"My virile old friend. Charles
Seheidemaniel accepts with ill grace
and unconcealed displeasure the men-
tion of Mr. Frank 11. Bushiek as a
probable contestant for the congress-
ional nomination at the hands of the
Democracy of the Twelfth district
next year. By what right or au-
thority does my old friend speak for
the Democracy of Bexar? I* he a
member of the Jefferson club? and
did not that able exponent and rock-
ribbed representative of Democratic
principles. Mr. Frank Grice long
years ago classify him as “politics
unknown?" Go to. Charley: go to.”
1 do not take my Democracy from
Mr. Frank Grice whom I believe to-
day to be as strong a Republican as
when he entered the field of polities
red-hot from Kansas and as a Repub-
lican in our own great state. Rut I
shall answer "The Major’s" question
whether or not I am a member of the
(San Antonio) Jefferson dull. Again
for in tiie Light I have already done
so and it only remains for me to add
that it is a fact that the Express once
published me as of "unknown poli-
ces.” I remember exactly what I did
say to the (India Rubber) correspon-
dent for the Express on that occas-
ion. I was asked "let me state yonr
poiit’cs as an official” to which I re-
plied: “Why you know lam Demo-
crat; why do you ask?” Abd be said
"I know you are. but I am asking it
for the paper etc. (Express). Alid
then I said: "Well never mind: I
hope my polities will forever remain
unknown to your paper whose poli-
ties arc but too well and too trust-
fully known as for revenue only.
But. tell The Major 1 am not a
member of the new-born Jefferson-
Democratic cluli of San Antonio; also
tell him—and this is what a man can
learn away from home; that Mr.
Frank H. Bushiek is not a probable
but a positive candidate for the De-
mocratic nomination as Congressman
of the Twelfth District of Texas.
I have nothing whatever against
Mr. Frank Buhsick's lofty aspirations
but I cannot escape the old
adage; “show me the company you
keep and I will tell yon what you
are.” As Frank Bushiek is in very
bad surroundings his congressional
boonilet is apt to burst as quick or
quicker than a strong zephyr can ex-
plode and destroy a soap bubble.
Now about Hondo City: The new
large artesian well will soon supply
the good people here with plenty of
water and they need it not only in
their households but on their farms
and ranges for lam sorry to say
that it has not rained much here;
there is not a drop of water yet to be
seen in the Hondo or Verde creek
where the Southern Pacific crosses it
nor a drop south of the bridge on the
Medina and from my friend. George
Harp from Ute San Francisco Perez
settlement. 1 learned tlmt there was
no rain at all near him.
Court opened this morning with a
non-jury docket of forty cases and
only eleven cases. The grand jury
was empanneUed with Earl Lacy as
fortnau petit jury will be sworn in
this afternoon; the slate docket is
light only three prisoners in jail and
none yet indicted. The criminal
docket is set for the Ist. of May and
District Attorney John Storms is here
to regiously and effectively guard the
rights of the state.
I am writing this fully to the Light
because San Antonio has a whole
town full of Medina county friend*
and relatives in its thirty-six miles of
square miles. lam always glad to
meet my many friends here and to-
day I met them from Devine. Briar
Branch: Castroville D’Hanis: Haby
settlement and all portions of the
county and from them and the civil
docket of the court I learned an en-
tirely anamolous stare of affairs viz:
That every letigant who lias or be-
lieves he has a claims against a rail-
road company comes here to ger. a big
verdict. It is an unenviable record
that Medina county has made in al-
lowing such an impression to get
abroad and 1 believe it will not last;
most of these cases are against the
G. H. & S. A. R. R. and I am aston-
ished at that for when I got-huffy
and split the blanket with them ten
years ago. I know my intentions were
to pay all just claims promptly and
even a little high rather than work
the law department too much. But
then ten years is a long Mime ago
and Medina county has gendered and
given some big verdicts to parties
whose cases bad merits and were and
ought to have been brought here be-
cause they originated here but I am
now informed that outside or foreign
cases are now filed here and I believe
these hope for a Medina county big
verdict cases will dwindle down
again soon. Into the reason of this
state of affairs 1 shall make some
inquiry and give you au honest opin-
ion then*on. I mu not cautious enough
at this late day to let my old animosi-
ty to the Runset carry me away to
the extent of favoring my old home
Medina county to do themselves In-
justice and to perpetuate a name of
prejudice that some of the best peo-
ple here told me today mint be stop-
ped. But as I said 1 will inquire and
if the railroad company is at fault
why let it suffer and nt Medina coun-
ty suffer with it; Medina county gets
ass jury fee and it may cost hun-
dreds of dollars to get one
of these “big verdicts" that
will then always be open
for revision in higher courts and no
one but Hondo City itself will ever
have a dollar's benefit of such litiga-
tion. The outside places will have
to help bear the burden of the court's
expenses.
Tlie court officers are very popular.
Judge Martin. Attorney Storms. Sher-
iff Ney and Clerk Kemp ail are
away up in the estimation of their
fellow citizens and they deserve to
be. Outside of the local bar Messrs.
DeMontel. Haas Raker. Blocker Eas-
ley and Harper there are in atten-
dance. Messrs. Otto Staffel Geo. W.
Powell Thos. 11. Franklin and Judge
Clark and State Senator Perry Lewis
of San Antonio and Judge Walter
Gilles of Alpine is reported as coin-
ing today.
CHAPTER II
To the Light:
Hondo. April 25. This town lias
fewer |>eople in It than I expected for
the first week of a term of the Dis-
trict court but it is saiddhat on next
Monday when the criminal docket is
taken up it would become more lively.
San Antonio has a fair share of in-
terested parties in attendance among
those I have met besides the attor-
neys already mentioned are Captain
McCormick of the Sunset; Mr. Aug.
Tschirhart Mr. August Schramm
who has a case ou trial today against
an executor of an estate. Mr. Joe
Carle and Medina county sheriff.
Joseph Lamon: Col. H. C Carter also
arrived today ami others are still ex-
pected.
I promised to make some inquiry
and let you know how and why it is
that Medina county exults in the re-
putation of being the dumping ground
for all litigants who expect very
large verdicts against railroad com-
panies and of the three cases against
the International and Great Northern
and the eleven against the G. 11. A
S. A. the greatest number are “for-
eign” or outside cases brought here
under ihe title of that interestius
book called “Great Expectations.” I
do not have to make inquiries. I hear
ihis matter spoken of in various
ways some deploring such a state of
affairs and others saying exactly the
reverse whenever a group of Medina
county citizens are discussing.
if I hear any more reasons given
why "this is thus" I will embody it
witli what I have already heard and
let it form the subject of a complete
letter after this court adjourns for.
after all. under the law any one be-
lieving he has a case that originated
at the west side of the crossing of
the Sabino river or on the east side
of the Bio Grande river at El Paso
or on the south side of Red river or
north side of the Rio Grande at Lar-
edo can legally institute his suit in
the big verdict county of Medina be-
cause companies that have railroad
tracks extended through the state
and have our agent or office in Medi-
na county give a perfect right to any
one desirious of trying on his luck
against a railroad company here by
simply bringing his suit paying his
$5.00 jury fee in the District court or
$3.00 in the smaller courts and then
let the taxpayers of Medina county
foot his large bill for court expenses
but enough of this until after court
adjourns when I will have data
enough to prophesy whether or not
there will or will not be a change in
the future in “Great Expectations.”
Today 1 will only say that on a jury I
would be as quick and as ready to
render a large verdict against the rail-
roads and in favor of a plaintiff if
his cause justifies It. but I Mould not
for the sake of "doing" the
roads by any contributary
act of of mine. ask every-
body to bring foreign cases here since
1 cannot learn to hate corporations
to such bitter extent and have too
much kindly feelings for old Medinn.
a county in which I always liked to
live and may live again to make for it
a reputation that unless based on
good grounds seems to me as very
hurtful to its good name.
While on my way out here 1 did not
know.and therefore did not notice that
the Sunset is beginning to dig anoth-
er artesian well in thia county this
time at Lacoste which if successful
may mean the abandonment of the
well tilled from the water hole in the
Medina at Idlewild. The well at
Hondo lias been tested and has an un-
diminishing supply of genuine prohi-
bition liquor; this is a great thing for
Hondo whose people! deserve the
good luck for their preset vance to get
water.
Your friend and admirer the Hondo
Herald is harder on the “so-called”
Jeffersonian Democratic (with real
name; mostly office seekers’) club at
San Antonio and calls them “Kid
Politicians" while I thought the most
of them were old enough to want of-
fice under the age clause I attach
his comforting words to myself and
his estimate of the result of the anti-
Slayden movement by San Antonio’s
misnamed Democracy.
"Our good friend Charley Schelde-
mantel of San Antonio has rushed
into print because he fears that some
of Tamaleville's good-tinctured kid
politicians will attempt to displace
Congressman J. L. Slayden next year.
Charlev shotid not allow such spec-
ters to disturb his equilibrium. No
mat tor what jobs Boxar county may
put up. Jim Slayden is solid in the
oilier counties and they tell the tale.”
And the same issue also co tained
tlie following:
“Attorney General Smith has suc-
ceeded in putting a crimp in the elec-
trical trust that was organized in San
Antonio a short time ago. Judge
Bob Green rightly held that any com-
bination which eliminates competi-
tion is unlawful and a receiver has
ixen appointed for the corporation
against which proceedings had been
begun. There is no room for trusts
in Texas. Her people have enough
to do to carry the burden laid upon
them by the (rusts of other states.”
Tlie Light is thus endorsed and sus-
tained by one of tin* best weeklies
In the state edited and owned by Mr.
L. Brucks who until the recent Cuero
meeting of tlie Southwest Texas
Press association was its popular
vice president; in fact the Express in
defense of the combine stands uncom-
fortably alone. My next letter will
deal with other than i>olitieal mat-
ters.

Our heroes went to free Cuba.
And to avenge the Maine.

We have lost from among us.
The bravest of the brave.

HUMAN NATURE.
Human nature is much the same the
world over .and an advertisement
which appeals to the pockets of ths
people in one locality will be quite
likely to hit the pockets of the people
in another locality if ordinary judg-
ment is used in adopting it. A shoe
advertisement written to attract the
farmers of Maine would not be of ser-
vice in tempting pesos from the pock
ets of the dark-skinned Cubans if
the same wording were used through-
out but the same general idea run-
ning through the advertisement could
be adapted by the addition of local col-
oring—Shoe and Leather Gazette.
MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub-
lic to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be genorus to
the needy and suffering. The pro-
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption Coughs and Colds
have given away over ten millions
tril bottles of this great medicine and
have the satisfection of knowing it
has absolutely cured thousands of
hopeless cases. Asthma bronchitis
hoarseness and all diseases of th*
throat chest and lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on F. Kalteyer A
Son< druggists and get a trial bottle
t ye. regular sise 50e and 91. Every
/ottle guaranteed or price refunded.
