THE DAY AT HOUSTON
ONLY ONE NOMINEE ON THE DEM-
OCRATIC TICKET FAILED OF
ELECTION.
SOME ELECTION ARRESTS.
Ttfontlily Report of Superintendent
Sutton of Public Schools—Hourd-
ing House Robbery,
Houston, Tex., April 8.—The city election
Js over and D. A. O'Brien, for recorder, is
the only nominee on the democratic ticket
who was not elected.
The last ward to finish its count was" the
Fifth, which concluded this morning. The
cause of delay In this ward is said to have
been the contention that would continual-
ly arise between the representatives of the
different tickets as to the legality of cer-
tain ballots in reference to the method in
which they were scratched, and the settle-
ment of this contention lost over a hun-
dred votes to the straight democratic ticket
by the throwing out of about that number
of ballots whereon the various tickets ex-
cept the straight democratic ticket were
scratched with an X mark, the contention
being that this was not a legal scratch, in-
somuch as the lines of the X did not touch
every name on the tickets sought to be
scratched, though it clearly showed the in-
tention of the voter. In other instances all
the other tickets on the ballot except the
democratic ticket, four in number, were
sought to be scratched by a big X mark
extending from the four corners of the bal-
lot occupied by the other four tickets.
These tickets were also thrown out, though
In each instance it was clearly the inten-
tion of the voter to scratch the ballot with
the view of voting the democratic ticket
straight, and the courts would doubtless
decide that these were legal ballots, but
Insomuch as the general result is not ma-
terially affected the point may not be
raised.
The following table shows the result of
the election, the returns of which will be
canvassed by the city council at a special
meeting to be held for that purpose on
Saturday:
the life and educational services of Pesta-
lozzi. the great Swiss reformer, who was
the first teacher to proclaim with convinc-
ing power that all the people should be
educated; that popular education is not a
work of charity, but a work of absolute
necessity. The fathers of the republic of
Texas were governed by this Pestalozzlan
view when they formed a constitution, and
the organic law of the state of Texas to-
day attests the fact that she is fully com-
muted to the fundamental doctrine that
popular freedom can not exist without pop-
ular intelligence.
The Houston teachers, through the crit-
ical study of the great leaders in educa-
tion, are from month to month gaining a
deeper insight into the real nature of their
work and are acquiring a stronger hold
upon the interest of the children they in-
struct. They are reaching the belief that
the subjects of study are to be used as
means for the development of mental
power, that, in the language of Pestaloazi,
"to engage the attention of the child, to
exercise his judgment, to raise his heart
to noble sentiments, these are the chief
ends of education." Very respectfully,
W. S. SUTTON, Superintendent.
On motion the request of the principal of
the colored high school to hold commence-
ment exercises at the end of the present
session was granted. An invitation from
the Houston Yolksfest association to par-
ticipate in the festivities of April 21 was
read and received with thanks. Bills were
referred to the finance committee, with
power to act.

RA1ES OFFERED EXCESSIVE.
Cent and ; Half a Mile the Rest That
Could Be»Secured. Pullman Car
* Charts to Be Extra.
The proposed trip <f the Galveston busi-
ness men to points in Oklahoma, Kansas,
western Missouri, Nebrwka and Colorado
was abandoned yesterday by the committee
in charge. Every effort o procure any-
thing like fair rates \from the railroads
proved of no avail. A l^rge mmber of the
most prominent b*islness\ men n this city
had expressed their detefminaton to be
members of this party, which woild have
gone out for the sole purpose* of inceasing
the export and especially the import busi-
ness through this port, and in Mhis wa( to
do their utmost to satisfy the universal de-
mand of the railroads for return\ freights
Letters giving complete particular^ in de-
tail, with list of the names from wlfyeh the
excursion party would be made up,\ were
sent to the general managers of alf\ the
railroads over which the party would £o.
In response to two of these letters caihe
the reply, they would be pleased to attacr,i
a chartered car to their regular trains and\
haul it free of charge. These offers were
withdrawn later. Some railroad company,
seemingly with a purpose of making the
trip an impossibility, referred the matter
to the executive committee in New York.
The executive committee, not understand-
ing the request, decided upon a rate of $1.25
per mile for a special train not exceeding
five cars, and this to include a baggage
car. Through correspondence the wishes
of the Galveston business men were placed
in the correct light before the proper au-
thorities. It was the intention in the first
place to secure a Pullman sleeper and pri-
vate Car. It took the committee but a
short time to find out that a private car
could not be had.
The trip proposed was as follows:
Miles.
Galveston to Kansas City 951
Kansas City to Omaha 205
Omaha to Denver via Lincoln 590
Denver to Galveston via Trinidad and
Fort Worth 1,150
Total 2,s96
The route desired was from Galveston to
Kansas City by way of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe and Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe railways; Kansas City to Omaha
by way of the Missouri Pacific railway;
Omaha to Denver by way of Lincoln via
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific rail-
way; Denver to Fort Worth over the Den-
ver, Texas and Gulf and Fort Worth and
Denver City railways to Fort Worth and
via the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
way to Galveston.
The following correspondence by wire is
self-explanatory:
St. Louis. Mo., April 4.—Tom Richardson,
Secretary Deep Water Utilization Commit-
tee, Galveston, Tex.: By letter of the 28th
am informed rate proposed can not be ac-
cepted by your committee and have there-
fore referred the matter back to the execu-
tive officers, who will meet bore Monday
next. You understand our authority does
not extend north of Kansas City, and I am
keeping Manager Caldwell, chairman West-
ern passenger association, Chicago, in-
formed what we do, so that they will if
possible make same rate as our lines do.
Suggest you correspond with him also.
W. W. KENT.
The telegram was answered through a
railroad source and Mr. Kent replied:
St. Louis, Mo., April 6.—Tom Richardson,
Secretary Deep Water Utilization Commit-
tee, Galveston, Tex.: Executive officers'
meeting now in session suggests rate of
V,t> cents per mile Galveston to Denver and
return, party to be carried on solid ticket
of not less than .twenty-five persons on
regular trains. 1 Wave communicated this
to Mr. Caldwell and will bring it to our
meeting at Hot Springs April 7. Advise me
if you think this will be satisfactory. If
answered to-day, address here; Tuesday,
care Hotel Eastman, Ilot Springs.
W. W. KENT.
Galveston, Tex., April 6.—W. W. Kent,
Chairman Southwestern Passenger Asso-
ciation. St. Louis, Mo.: Consider l1^ cents
per mile prohibitory. Think 1 cent per
mile, short line mileage, will secure party;
wo pay for sleeper. Would prefer twenty
passengers to satisfy, as other than ten-
section Pullmans are hard to secure. Ad-
vise Mr. Caldwell. TOM RICHARDSON,
Secretary.
Hot Springs, Ark., April 7.—Tom Richard-
son, Secretary Deep Water Utilization
Committee, Galveston, Tex.: Figures given
in my telegram of the 6th were instructed
by executive officers and this committee
can do nothing else. Please advise me soon
as possible if all is right and what date
you will start. Our authority does not ex-
tend north of Kansas City, but you will
hear from Caldwell. W. W. KENT.
A telegram was sent Mr. Kent that the
committee decided the rate as prohibitory
and would abandon the trip.
Colonel John D. Rogers, who is confined
to his room at his Tremont street home,
said to a News man:
"I regret exceedingly that this trip is to
be abandoned, but twenty-five persons in
a small sleeping car would Serve to make
the trip a disagreeable one, and I can not
help but feel that the rate of l'j cents per
mile, which means $43.44 for each person,
added to $075 for the Pullman, is excessive.
I believe such a trip would do Galveston
a great deal of good, but I have felt from
the beginning that the railroads were as
much interested in this matter as we are,
and I think they should have been more
liberal in their rates."
Colonel Rogers voices the sentiment of
other members of the committee and busi-
ness men in general.

NEWS BRIEFED.
The republican convention of the First
district of Georgia split, sending two dele-
gations to St. Louis, one uninstructed and
the other for McKinley,
The republicans of the Seventh congres-
sional district of Alabama held their con-
vention at Birmingham on the 7th and split
into three factions. First, the McKinley
men, claiming to have a majority of dele-
gates, were locked out of the court house
by the opposition and held a meeting in a
hotel, electing McKinley delegates. Later
the negroes bolted the court house conven-
tion because they were not given a dele-
gate, and elected delegates of their own.
The court house convention elected Reed
delegates. The proceedings were disorderly
from the beginning and a riot was narrowly
averted.

Omaha, Neb., Apritv 8.—\\ hen shown Ad-
jutant General Mabry's telegram ordering
the Galveston cup to Savannah to be cpm-
peted for in the interstate drill, the oii-
cers of the Thurston rifles unhesitatingly
declared the order would be ignored.
"So far as General Mabry is concerned,
he has no more authority to order the cup
to Savannah than he would have to order
it to the Nebraska state encampment,"
added the spokesman of the party. "The
Galveston cup is the property of the na-
tional guard, to be competed for only at
national encampments. If it was carted
around to state and interstate drills the
Thurston riiles would be compelled to fol-
low it, competing in every drill wherever
the cup might go. The cup is in Omaha
and will remain here until the next nation-
al drill."

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding- of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rig'htly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
