Tub Statesman cvr ready and
anxious to do that which i.s for the
good of Austin and her citizens foi Is
that there are many in Austin wild
do not fully appreciate dm necessity
of imnieiliute Hdion along ccrtiiin lines
There are at present over a dozen val-
Ualilo iniltisiriiis necking locations in
Aunti l. Industrie tint will be of
untold hcnelit not only in the near
future but for all time to conio. Ii
Aim tin tx.iects to locate any of them
she must show a disposition to do ai-
well by them us other cities through-
out the Htate. So fur there has been
no bonus asked by any of then) but
as a gm.riui ti c of good faith on th
part of the citizens seme have asked
that a certain amount of stock Ik
taken. This is asking very little tak
ing into consideration that other cit-
ies are putting up cash homines for all
the industries located in their midst.
At present the moniod men of the
East North and Northwest have their
eyes im tied wi-alu'.ly toward Texas
and Austin especially but what mat-
ters that if Austin fails to locale l hern
Because she has better inducements
naturally; because it would be to the
interest of industries to locate in tin
capital city even though they did not
receive a dollar's worth of pecuniary
encouragement it is no reason that
the citizens of Austin should for one
minute think that a stranger will look
at it in this light. Show a Jetcruiina
tion and an anxiety to put the
city to the rout and to il
this Austin must hive in
dustries and the way to get them i-
when one shows a desire to come to
Austin make it an object for that one
to come. Don t stand Lack and think
they can be secured without your as.
Distance. Every new industry located
in Austin will enhance the value ol
vour property. It is an addition to
the population of the city and will
make better busiuess for the
merchant.
The Commercial club is doing good
work. Not a day passes that there
are not dozens of letters from all parts
of the United States received asking
all sorts of questions about Austin
and the surrounding country.
A Statesman reporter dropped iuto
the secretary's othce ye.-terday and
found Clia8. A. Edwards the secre-
tary buried in a pile of letters which
ho had just received through the
mails. Following is the substance of
only a few which he read to the
reporter :

Something About Fees.
"The Statktman would rise to a
quetticti of construction of law. Has
a justice of the peace the right to
charge $10 for a conviction whetl er
the county attorney took any action
in the case or not? If no' floes such
lira tice to anv extent prevail in this
count?" is the reading of an edito-
rial from yesterday's Statesman. If
the editor will examine nriicle 3J
page 5 Code of Criminal Procedure
he will find that it is the duty of the
judge of the court to appoint an
attorney to represent the state iu the
absence of the st. He's attorney; ex

Representing the State
A liunauny.
Late last afternoon a milkman left
his team and wagon standing un
hitched wlule he went into the Union
market. The electric cars came along
and the show started. With a wild
snort the horses sprang forward an.)
started on their tour of destruction
and they soon got in their work with
a vengeance. The buggy and horse
of Mr. W. M. Spenco was hitched in
front of Kopperl's book store and wt-re
iu the direct line of the wild team
I'he runaway clashed into it with a
vengeance and te-totally demolished
the buggv end came near doing the
same lor the horse. Proceiding on to
the Avenue the milk wagon was gently
turned wrong side out aud the horses
I proceeding down the strtet alone with
1 their tails wildly waving defiance to
cars and all. Runaways are getting
too common. Hitch your horseB or
stay with them. It is against the law
to leave tin m unhitched and the law
should be enforced come what may.
The City Fathers. '
The city council was iu session last
night with eleven aldermen present
The appropriation bills were taken
up and passed to second reading where
they stopped because there were not
enough aldermen present to suspend
the rules.
Alderman Morris at the request of
the board of public work inlroHiced
an ordinance authorizing the leasing
of the railroad to the datn at a rental
of G per cent upon its cost the lease
to run for five years.
Alderman Morris moved that the
marshal be instructed to go out and
arrest and bring in absent members
and the resolution passed but the
marshal after scouring the city for
about an hour reported he could not
find the gentlemen and the council
adjourned until 5 o'clock this after
noon.
Ice Cream Factory.
A gentleman from St. Louis has
beeu iu town several days and will es
tablish an ice crem factory. This is
a new industry and the cream is made
in pa'ent freezers and shipped to re
tail dealers throughout the state.
The gentleman claims that he can de
liver cream at points 200 miles away
cheaper than the dealers can make it
iu small quantities. He expects to
;oniiiience operations about May.
A Hig Boiler.
Mr. Zilker has received a very large
steam boiler which ill be placed in
his ico factory greatly increasing its
capacity. Mr. ilker during the sum
mer will be able to supply any de
m ml (or ice that may be made upon
him.
Canned a Commotion.
A deputy United States marshal
half seas over caused a commotion
last night about 10 o'clock in front of
the board of trade building. He
claimed that some one had attempted
to rub him and he drew his guQ and
fired at the t'.iief who tied.
Died.
At his home f mr mile from Minor

he had lived for thirty-one years. He
w u over G) years of age. His funeral
took place last Sunday with Masonic
ceremonies ly the Masonic of Maucr
and Weberviile.
Enforce the Law.
There is a law iu this city against
leiving teams without beiog hitched.
It should be rigidly enforced by the

Yesterday morning while a States-
i man young man was talking to a la i

in the city and who are old acquain-
tance of the scrihe he was accosted by
a person who said he wished t speak
to him for a minute. The reporter
excused himself telling the lady anil
gentleman be would return in
second. Not dreaming of any troubb
the reporter walked a Uvi steps to tin
side of a building and with both hands
down deep in his pockets leaned con-
tendedly against the building.
Scott Wear for that is the individ
ual's name immediately started in to
abuse the reporter for an article which
appeared in the Statesman several
lays ago and when the reportei
courteously informed him that then
had been no names used and that
there was nothing in the nniice which
in any way mentioned him or hi- In
said it was a d d lie and without any
other warning struck the reporter.
At a glance the scribe took in the
situation. He saw that the odds in
point of weight size and ability tc
s'and puni-hment were ten to one ji.
lavor of Wear and for once in thn re-
porter's life he a pprei i lied the goo
several years in a gyninasim and font
years pulliiit; stroke in a four oarxl
crew had done. It came iu very
handy and for a short minute Weai
must have tl ouht he had struck
hornesl's nest. The police in terfVrei
almost immediately bin n 't before
die scrihe had in turn repn senled on
the face of the assailant in a mannei
i hat may necessitate him to remain ii.
doors for several days.
Scott Wear is a man over fix feet
tall and weighs fully 200 pounds while
the scrilie is not near so tall and
weighs fitly pounds less. One of the
police informed die scribe that Weai
is considered by everybody a mighty
hard man toll mile and that he wai-
surprised that he did not break every
bone in the reporter s body.
There is not a more peacealle mild
tempered and unassuming being in
the world thau the reporter and he is
willing to take any measure to keep
out of a personal diiliculty except run
nimr. but when Mr. Scott Wear or
anybody else pick the scribe up for i
teuderfoot they will find how badly
they are mistaken. To say the least
the assault was a most unwarranted
one aud was condemn 'd by the by-
standers. The reporter though as
sailed by such odds came off unhuri
save for a number of scratcnes on ins
face evidently made by finger nails
during the struggle.

Kaforce -the Law.
There are two many runaways in
this city. Hardly a day passes that
some team left standing does not da h
away endangering life and property.

Everybody likes the electric cars
and it is whispered around that the
old horse car lines will be using motors
ere a great while.
