HIS INJURIES ARE SLIGHT
E. O. Steven§ Receives Scalp Wound
From Pistol Bullet in Altercation.
Initiation Causes Exottement.
au altercation In the Crystal Turf Ex-
change, Main I'laza, a few minutes be-
fore 10 o'clock last night, resulted in Ed
Stevens receiving a scalp wound from a
•45-callbcr revolver bullet. It is said
that he was struck over the head with
the gun, which was accidentally dis-
charged at the same time.
Charges of affray were booked at po-
lice headquarters against \V. H. Ford
and against Stevens.
The two men made bonds of $100 each
and were released. The trouble was of a
trivia' nature originally. Ford Is said to
have been approached with a knife and
retaliated. Stevens was attended by Drs.
Douglas *Largen and Ralph Smith. Ills
injuries are not serious. The arrests were
mado bv Officers Brown and Bryant.
An amusing feature occurred as a party
of Stevens' friends were taking him to
the doctor's office on Commerce Street.
The Woodmen of the World lodge head-
quarters are a half block north, on Sole-
dad Street, and as the crowd crossed
Boledad. near the Elite Hotel, seven or
eight shots rang out in rapid succession
In the Woodmen Hall, where an initiation
was going on. The effects of these shots
on the already excited crowd was to pre-
cipitate a panic, and men and boys seur-
l ie'd in every direction for cover. No
harm was done.

In any condition of the female system,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can do
only good—never harm. Its whole effect
Is to strengthen, Invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are do-
ranged in function or affected by disease,
the stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerves are weakened, and a long list of
bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not be expected of this "Fa-
vorite Prescription." It will not perform
miracles: will not cure tumors—no med-
icine will. It trill often prevent them, If
taken In time, and thus the operating
table and the surgeon'* knife may be
avoided.

Georgetown Citizens Are Preparing
for Big Revival.
Special Telegram to The Express.
GEORGETOWN, Tex., Ang. 29,-A move-
ment is on foot to erect by popular con-
tributions a large tabernacle, or hall, to
be used especially for the union revival,
which will begin the second Sunday in
October.
There Is no church or other building In
town with sufficient seating capacity to
accommodate the congregations expected
on the occasion of the revival. Evangelist
Wharton of Baltimore will conduct all
services and the music, under the leader-
ship of a special singer, will prove an
attractive feature. A mass meeting was
held in the Court House fast night and
the plans for the tabernacle were fully
dlsrussed, but definite action was de-
ferred until a future meeting. The com-
mittee was continued. Several hundred
dollars toward the enterprise are on hand
and other subscriptions are promised.

That a register shall be placed in the
new Bexar County Republican headquar-
ters in tho Mackay Building and all vot-
ers shall be asked to inscribe their names,
in order that some' idea may be gained as
soon as possiblo as to the party strength,
was decided at a meeting of tho Bexar
County Republican Executive Committee
last night.
Tho meeting was held in tho new quar-
ters, which were opened for the l'irst
time yesterday, and was presided over
by Julius M. Opnenheimer, county chair-
man. Its purpose was to talk over the
party ticket and lay plans for the conduct
of the campaign.
On motion of Mose Harris, the finance
committee, which acted during the first
part of the campaign, was reappointed,
with slight changes, ana constituted the
permanent committee to handle tho
finances of the party during the remain-
der of the campaign.
This committee now consists of the fol-
lowing: Julius M. Oppenheimer, chair-
man- B. M. Hajiimond. August
Dr. Fred Terrell and Victor Keller.
It was the unanimous opinion of those
resent that a full ticket should be placed
h* the field and a committee composed of
<tric following members of the executive
committee was appointed to arrange for
candidates to fill the vacancies created by
withdrawal: D. B. F. Kingsley, A. H.
Cadwallader, Fat T. Shields. August

paign committee as follows: II. A. Jack-
son, B. M. Hammond and Jacob Klaus.
J. M. Oppenheimer read to the gather-
ing a letter from the office of the Attor-
ney General, stating that there Is no legal
impediment to any person having partici-
pated in or having been a candidate be-
fore the Democratic primaries running aB
a candidate on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Oppenheimer said "he had written
for a ruling on this question, as it Is one
that has been discussed much of late and
might prove valuable information to the
committee.
On motion, a rising vote of thanks was
given to Duncan Mackay, who has do-
nated to the executive committee two
rooms in the Mncka^ Building for use as
Republican headquarters during the re-
mainder of the campaign.
A. H. Cadwallader. chairman of t"he hall
committee, was instructed to arrange at
once for placing a large banner outside
the building, bearing the words "Bexar
County Republican Headquarters."
The plan of placing a large picture of
Taft in a conspicuous place In tho win*
dows of the headquarters was favorably
discussed and referred to the hall commit-
tee.
About twenty pontons were present at
the meeting, which adjourned at 10
o'clock.

AWARD CONTRACT
FOR PAVING OF
HOUSTON STREET
General Supply and Construction
Company of Fort Worth
Will Do the Work.
OPERATION TO START
WITHIN TWENTY DAYS
"Texico" bitumen, a Texas asphalt, will
be used in paving Houston Street, and
tire- curbing and headers bordering tho
pavement will be Llano red granite. Tho
Joint citizens and Council committees on
Houston Street improvements decided on
this combination yesterday morning in
accepting the asphalt bid of the General
Supply and Construction Company of
Fort Worth. Although this bid specified
sandstone curbing and headers, the com-
mittees agreed to go one better. The
granite will cost more, but Is considered
to be cheaper In tho long run. The work
on Houston Street should begin In twenty
days, according to specifications furnished
all bidders.
The asphalt bid of tho General Supplj'
and Construction Company, including
sandstone curbing and headers, was $-13,-
142.05 lor the city s work between Nacog-
doches Street and Santa Rosa Avenue,
end $28,032,72 for the Traction Company's
work, iho aggregate being $71,115.40, tho
lowest of four bidders.
Bids on the Curbing.
F. O. Brown, president of the success-
ful bidding company, was present at tho
meeting which was held in the Council
chamber. The committeemen were dis-
cussing granite and sandstone curbing,
and tho Assistant City Engineer, J. K.
Van Riper, as did the committeemen,
favored! the granite. Voluntarily Mr.
Browif said that he could arrange with
a certain quarry owner in the L,lano
River country to furnish. Llano granite
at a moderate cost.
Mr. Brown's proposition was to cut
his original granite figures to the level
of the lowest other bid on granite, his
bid having been higher on this specifi-
cation, and at the same time kc«p his
other figures stationary. The CJenerai
Supply and Construction Com»any's
original bid was $2.50 per linear ioot of
f ranite curbing in place and $1.23 per
inear foot of granite headers In plu/Ce,
On this special specification—not in tha
aggregate—among the rejected bids the
bid of P. T. Shields of San Antonio was
lowest, being $1.58 per linear foot for
granite curbing in place and $1.19 p«r
linear foot of granite headers In place.
Mr, Brown offered to meet that figure
on this specification If the cominitteo
would prefer granite to sandstone. His
bid on sandstone curbing in place per
linear foot was 65 cents, and for sand-
stone headers Der linear foot 45 cents.
The proposition was accepted.
Tho increased cost for granite curbing
over the General Supply and Construc-
tion Company's sandstone bid Is shown
to be 93 cents per linear foot, while the
increase per linear foot in the granite
headers over the sandstone headers is
71 cents.
Is Good Material.
The committees were agreed that the
curbing and headers would be as fine
as can be found in any metropolitan
city of the East and expressed them-
selves ns pleased with the proposition.
The "Texico" bitumen, manufactured by
the Texas Company, and a Texas prod-
uct extracted from crude petroleum oil
at Port Neches, Is considered a splendid
material, and tho Texas company will
directly Join tho General Supply and
Construction Company in the laying of
the paving, as it Is said to bo the object
of that concern to give special atten-
tion to this paving project in ordor to
prove the merits of their bitumen
product.
T. F. Brady, in fact, represented the
whole of the citizens' committee In yes-
terday's meeting, holding the proxies of
O. C. Qlbbs. chairman; Ix J. Hart and
George Maverick, absent members of the
citizens* committee. He was authorized
to vote for the selection of the Texas
asphalt In behalf of the absent com-
mitteemen.
W. B. Tuttle, vice president and gen-
eral manager of the Traction Company,
a member of the citizens' committee,
was present, directly representing the
Traction Company, however. He favored
the Texas asphalt, and in line with a
provision of the Traction Company's
franchise, providing that the Traction
Companv shall pave with the samo ma-
terial that the city dooR on any street,
he voted to accept the bid of the Gen-
eral Supply and Construction Company.
Special Meeting Monday.
The motion to adopt "Texico" bitumen
for use on Houston Street was made
by Alderman Mauermann, which pre-
vailed. Mr. Mauermann made a sub-
sequent motion to accept the asphalt bid
of the General Supply and Construction
Company, which llkewlso prevailed.
Mayor Tro Tern Rlchter, an ex-oificlo
member of the committee, gave jfotlce
that he would call a special meeting of
the City Council for Monday afternoon
at. 2 o'clock, at which time the action
of the joint committee will be ratified
and an ordinance passed authorizing
the Mayor to sign a contract with the
successful bidder. From that date tho
General Supplv and Construction Com-
pany will have twenty days In which
to commence paving Houston Street.
The bond Issue of $120,000 prov-mg for
tho widening and paving of Houston
Street was voted on and carried In De-
cember. 1905.

WILL RECOMMEND
BRUSH WORK AT
FORT BROWN
Brigadier^ General Myer Returns
From Investigation of (he
Rio Grande River.
BURIAL GROUND IS
ENDANGERED BY STREAM
Brig. Cen. Albert L. Myer, who has
been in Brownsville investigating con-
ditions incident to the erosion of the
Rio Grande and tho undermining of
Government buildings at Fort Brown,
returned to department headquarters
yesterday. Ho will make recommenda-
tion that a safeguard of brushwork be
constructed at a cost of approximately
$1000.
General Mycr was Accompanied by
Lieut. Samuel T. Mackall, his aide, and
A. F. McSweeney, chief of the construc-
tion department. Tho erosion of the Itio
Grande at this point has been a gradual
procfcss for years, and at intervals the
Government has spent sums varying
from $i>W to $1000 in protecting the
banks.
Hampered by Treaty.
General Myer said last night in discus-
sing tho conditions, that tho present
work, while only considered temporary,
would probably safeguard the Govern-
ment property for at least two years,
but that he expected to renew recom-
mendations which had previously been
made to the department at Washington
regarding permanent work.
"The Government will bo greatly ham-
pered in this," said General Myer, "by
the international boundary treaty. That
agreement permits abutments into the
river of only five meters, and any work
which might be considered practical
would be a menace to the other side of
the river and as such a violation of the
treaty.
"I believe that the problem will not bo
satisfactorily solved until a Joint board
of engineers acting for the United States
and Mexico would reach some agreement
regarding improvements which would
protect property on both sides of the
river without injuring either.
Endangers the Cemetery.
"The theory is now advanced that the
river is eating its way through the strip
of ground on which the post buildings
are located and will eventually resume
Its old channel. If this should occur the
National Cemetery would be on Mexican
?round according to the international
reaty.
"At the present time," said General
Myer, "It will not be possible to con-
struct stone Jetties or other permanent
safeguard against the encroachment of
the river. Our work can only be tem-
porary. Tho old artillery post and tho
custom house are now in most danger,
but the brush work proposed will protect
them for a time at least. In my report
to Washington I shall strongly urge the
taking of steps which will lead to an ad-
justment of the trouble which will con-
sider the interests of both countries."
SEEK DATA ON TIMBER LAND.
Forestry Branch Is Compiling Statis-
tics of Government Prcperty.
Orders in the form of a circular letter
have been received at department head-
quarters directing that the proper officers
forward to Washington by September 15
figures relating to the timber lands on
Government property in this depart-
ment.
The circular calls attention to the Na-
tional Conservation Commission appointed
by President Roosevelt, after the confer-
ence held at the White House last May,
and says it Is the desire of the forestry
branch of the Department of Agriculture
to compile information on the extent of
cur forest resources, tho rate of con-
sumption and measures necessary to con-
serve the same.
It is a little known fact that a con-
siderable portion of the forests in tho
United States are on Government prop-
erty in the National parks, military res-
ervations, Indian reservations, light-
house reservations and the National for-
ests. A list of questions Is enclosed to
be answered by the heads of the quar-
termasters' departments of cach garri-
soned post. *-
