AFTER COLLECTOR BURKr.
The San Antonio Republican Club Expresses
Its Disapproval of His Appointments.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 5.—As wired The
News the Republican club of San Autouio
is down on Collector Burke of Austin who,
It is charged, has been appointing Austin
favorites to offices in San Antonio, Waco
and other Texas towns. The ill feeling
crystallized to-night at tho regular weekly
meeting, when the committee formerly ap-
pointed reported the following resolutions,
w hich were unanimously adopted:
Whereas J. W. Burke, internal revenue
collector of this district, has appointed a
deputy from Austin to represent the col-
lector's office at this place; aud
Whereas the city of San Antonio is the
largest city in said district and tho state;
Whereas the city of San Antonio pays
more internal revenue than any other part
of the district or state:"and
Whereas this city and the county of Bexar
casts a heavy republican vote and has a re-
publican club which is the strongest In the
state and 0110 of the largest iu the south;
and
Whereas the republicans of this city and
county and tho said republican club have
been entirely ignored in said appointment
and a stranger foisted on us and the people
of this city; therefoie be it
Resolved, that the San Antonio Republi-
can club condemn.-, the action of said J. W.
Burks in the appointment of Mr. Bell to
the position of deputy revenue collector
of the city of Sau Antonio and surrounding
country: tbatwe think said appointment is
detrimental to the party and a direct insult
to the republicans of this city and couaty;
that Mr. Burke ho requested to visit this
city to the end that he may
fully roaiize and understand the spirit that j
prompted these resolutions; that a city of j
our reputation ought to receive considera-
tion at his hands in prefereuce to another
section of this district that now has nine
offices more than its population and tlio re-
publican vote entitles it to; that a copy of
these resolutions lie forwarded to the presi-
dent. tho secretary of the treasury and Col-
lector Burke.

HARD AT WORK.
The DiiUn'i Fair MminRement Actively Pre-
pnrinsr f'"- »'•«
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 5.—A News reporter
visited the grounds of the <:reat Texas state
fair and Dallas exposition yesterday and
found a large force of laborers at work put-
ting them in condition for the grand expo
sition, which opens on the 15th.
The fair grounds are far more beautiful
now than ever before. The trees, shrub-
bery aud flowers set out in other ye:irs aro
thriving nicely, ami with tho nicely laid out
valks and avenues combine to make a
ti-act that in a few years will rival any park
In tho city for natural beauty. The num-
erous buildings have been painted and look
fresh and new. The most noticeable thing,
however, is the activity anionic the exhib-
itors in pressing their exhibits. If they
keep up their lick the fair will indeed be
ready by the opeuing day. , , . ,
In exposition hall, the interior of which
by the way has been handsomely painted
and decorated, nearly all the platforms are
completed and active work has betfun to-
ward putting exhibits in place. Exposition
hall will be a place of wondrous beauty this
year. In the nicely arrauged spaces all
around the hall will bo placed the county
exhibits. This department will necessarily
stund out as the leading feature • f the fair,
in that it will show full aud well the vast
resources of the state.
It is understood that every space has been
taken aud couuties have already begun to
ship ex libits in. The spaces for industrial
nnd mercantile exhibits have been entirely
remodeled, and when occupied by exhibits
will add largely to the beauty of the hall.
In manufacturers' hall and machinery hall
the same activity is apparent. Men are
working hard, and the prevailing idea is to
be ready for the opening day.
Secretary Cour says that in all depart-
ments work is being pushed rapidly, and
that nothing will be left undone that
tends to give the fair a grand opening on
the ir>th. He says, however, that all local
exhibitors must hurry their exhibits, and
have everything in place at the required
time. Of course what applies to locai ex-
hibitors applies with equal force to others,
and furthermore the city must lose no time
in making due preparations for the visitors.
In fact everything must be ready—both
town aud fair.
CADDO, I. T.
A Movers'# Camp Vlieil Into by k. -Known
Persons.
CADDO, I. T., Oct. 5.—Last night at about
11 o'clock some unknown person fired a
Winchester into a mover's camp, the ball
oassing within an inch of the man's wife's
bead and, striking an ll-year-old girl on the
knee, passed through her leg, breaking and
shattering the bone so the leg will probably
have to beamputntcd. Theshooting issnp-
posed to have been to scare the movers out.
The officers have been uuable to ascertain
who did it, and as yet no arrests have been
made.
Their Political "Puli" Prevented It.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 5,-Tho grand jury
failed to return any indictments against
any of the gamblors in this city, though
their attention was particularly directed to
that matter by Judge Horton. The Evening
News alleges that the political -pull" of
the gamblers prevented it.
