We have a Urge stock of seasonable
dry good* at prices that will prove
templing to those who ar* la need of
same. The term "Dij Goods" is so
comprehensive that we h»ve not space

posing it, or to quote the prices that
make our store so prominent. Quality
considered, we perhaps'sell goods as
cheap as any houss in the state.

Our line of Spring Millinery has beea

We cater to both the country
trade in this department. Tne

ly as possible. Every cent saved is that
much made. We caa and will save yon
money on orders entrusted to us.
Occasionally the daily papers ot the
state tell of the enormous yield some
farmer harvested off of * certain amount of land, then figure
on the enormous fortune he would have made had he only
planted a few mi lion more acres of the same stuff and ob*
taioed as satisfactory results. Money can be made by in-
telligent farming, but unless you plant good eesd the most
careful tilling of the soil will only yield unsat afaotory returns
What a Man Soweth, that;also

SUITS UNDER ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Against San Antonio's Corporations are
Successfal.
San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 13.
—At a meeting held at the Mon-
ger hotel today between Attorney
General T. S. Smith of Austin,
District Attorney Carlos Bee of
this city, City Attorney George
Altgolt and ex-City Attorney R.
B. Minor of San Antonio on be-
half of the State of Texas, and A.
W. and Reagan Houston on be-
half of the local Consolidated
Eelectric Light, Power and Street
Railway companies, an agree-
ment was reached by which the
State will take judgment against
the companies in the quo war-
ranto proceedings for forfeiture
of their respective characters and
appointment of receivers to take
charge of the properties.
This action follows the decision
of the supreme court of the State
sustaining the judgment of the
37th District court in the case
of the State vs. the San Antonio
Gas company, decreeing a for-
feiture of charter and appoint-
ment of receiver. The three
companies affected by the agree-
ment which was had today are
the San Antonio Street Railway
oompany, San Antonio Ediaon
(street railway) oompany, and
the Mutual Electric Light com-
pany. The properties are owned
by the McMillan syndicate of
New York and the time was
granted the defendant's counsel
for submission of the agreement
to the syndicate for approval.
The sale of these properties to
this syndicate was held to be in
violation of the State anti-trust
law, hence the institution of the
suits by the State.
Wants Fifteen Thousand Dollars.
In the distriot court of Wash-
ington county Adolphus Holland
has filed suit ,for $15,000 against
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railroad, the nature of the
demand of the plaintiff (being for
the recovery of damages by
reason of personal injuries sus-
tained on Jan. 4, of this year.
In his original petition the plain-
tiff reoites that he was walking
along First street at a publio
crossing of the railroad company
when a string of cars were back-
ed down upon him without
warning, breaking two of his
ribs and causing him to lose one
foot. He asked for $5,000 aotual
and $10,000 exemplary damages.
Frank Sherwood was down town to-day
for the first time since he had the tussle with
cholera morbus. He says he drove thirty
miles after he was taken, and never came so
near dying in his life. After this, when he
goes ont in the country, he will take a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy with him.—Missouri Valley
(Iowa) Times. For sate by R. E. I.uhn.
"The Carpetbaggers."
On next Tuesday night at the
Grand opera house Tim Murphy,
the comedian, will be seen in
'The Carpetbagger," a play,
which, if press oritioisms are ac-
curate, has mads a hit in every
city in the United States in
which it has been presented.
Mr. Murphy needs no intro-
duction here for he has already
established himself a general
favorite both in "The Carpet-
bagger" and in other plays in
which he has starred, or in which
he was cast before he began his
starring tour in "Old Inno-
cence."
He is without a doubt one|of
the most wonderfully olever
comedians on the American stage
today, and that being said, it
means that he is one of the beat
that the Stage-Universal affords,
so his re-appearanoe here will be
sure to bring out his admirers in
strong numbers, for Murphy's
admirers are admirers of the
comedy legitimate.
The supporting oompany this
year is one of the best with whioh
Mr. Murphy haa ever had himself
surrounded, and includes the
brilliant star, A. S. Lipman, the
pretty, vivacious and charming
little comedienne Dorothy Sher-
rod, and such clever people as
Charlotte Lambert, Mathilde
Weffing, James Manley, Griffith
Evans and a number of others
well known to the stage and
public.
A Haw Enterprise.
Mr. A. Freitag, of Kenney, haa
purchased a lot from Amaler
Bros., adjoining the bakery con-
ducted by the latter firm on
whioh he haa begun the erection
of a building whioh will be used
for the manufacture and
of plows, buggies, eto.
building will be two stories high
and 60 foot front.
Mr. Freitag is also a cabinet
maker and he expects to go into
the manufacture of the finer
grades of furniture later on.
The establishment of this fac-
tory is a step in the
tion.
to labor, and when labor
ployed the town prospers.
