Entered at postotllce at San Aiitenlo, Texas, u sooond-class matter. MONDAY, JULY 10, 1883. The Richmond Nation says that Herman, Contsnt & Co., advertising agents, New York, are frauds, and that it has the documents to prove the statement. TllK business men of Lampasas have sub scribed to a purse of $110 to be paid as a premium on the first bale of cotton brought to that market from the counties of Lampasas, Burnet and Llano. The Dallas Times, in an envious mood, gets oft' the following: "The polo fever has struck San Antonio, and the game of montc, which has held almost undisputed sway in that city for over a century, is, for the first time, neglected. The Houston age makes a good suggestion in the following : "San Antonio has a Howie streeL and a Crocket street ; and it would be a happy thought, if she had streets enough, to have one named for every hero who was mas acred in the Alamo." The Bandera Bugle answers a leading question very fully in this item : '"Why go to Texas t is a question which is being asked by thousands of tongues over the world. Our answer is because of the superior advanta ges which the climate offers to farmers and stock raisers over those found in colder lati tudes, and to the working man, because he has comparatively speaking no broken time. He can work if he chooses u months in every 12. Where is the industrial country with a climate that allows this f" The rapid growth oi Texas is illustrated in the following from the Morgan Argonaut : "Three years ago Morgan was a howling wilderness. Her present site was a vast farm. Then came the Texas Central railroad, and a little later the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe road. Then over a part of the soft plowed ground of this vast farm, Mr. W. H, Leckett built a small shanty ; this liltle shed wilh a dirt floor was the first mercantile store in Mor gan. Then came the influx of population ; stores and dwellings appear like a harlequin, and to-day Morgan has stores to compete with towns twice her size ; three hotels that cannot be be beat in any community, and as good a school, if not better than any lor 50 miles around. Add to this the beautiful lo cation and healthlul climate, mingle with all this the energy and sociability of her citizens, and then doubt if you can, that this flourishing ljtlle village promises to be the future great I am of Bosque county." TilK KUTAUAGA PAUTY. The proposed constitutional amendments are meeting wilh considerable opposition from the non-progressive element in the State, principally because ol the greater liberality expressed in relation to the school laws, and the supposed increase of certain taxes. While the amendments are not all that could be desired in the way of improvement, yet they remedy some very glaring defects in the State constitution, and once adopted, we believe, will met with the approbation 01 an public spirited citizens, and voters generally, who wish to see and experience an improvement In the educational facilities of the State will do themselves and the rising generation a favor if they vote for the adoption of the amend ments. The constitution ol Texas Is one that needs a very great amount of patching to make It conform to the requirements of this nine teenth century. And the "Rutabaga" party need about the same improvement in order to keep pace with the times, and it is to be hoped that they will not exercise any great Influence upon the Issues involved, and that they will be In the minority, "by a large majority. when the votes are counted. NOT yUll'K UOKKUCT. What Ourreip-Midimt Hit to Say About tlm Smith llltturbHiicD. Editor Pan Antonio Lniiit: San Antonio, July 15. Uy your permission I wish to say a word 011" an Antonio Is 11 hell." It Is not my business to dcieiid Mrs. Smith, but to defend the right. Tho Express reporter either leojlved an untrue statomont of facta or willfully misrepresented. I wns present during the whoIculTalr, except ing when on tho street in quest of u police. I illd not henr nny claim for rent of hall present ed, though 1 did hear Smith and wife say that the ball was theirs aim paid for; und tho man raising tho disturbance said ho was after the prln'er's bill only. As to the language attributed tn Mrs. Smith, "rulllan," "rulllaiily scoundrel," Is not tho truth, anil Mrs. S's appeal was not to remain to hear hnr through, but to befriend them against a dreaded danger. Afterward, at tho solicita tion or sovorai panic, sue eousenicu iu go 011. I know nothing about tlie honesty, Intentions or ability of tho parties to pay tho bills, and it makes no difference to the principles lu ques tion. The man In entering the hall In tho manner ho did, trampled, not upon tho rights of the lectures, as on the rlvhlsof tho audience, de priving them of that for which thoy had paid, and, to bo mild, was discourteous, unmanly and manlllcstcd a want of respect for tho rhts oiothcrs, as also seirrespect. Yhero the travelers were when tho police were looking for them, Is no more of a inlstery than where tho police were when I was looking for them. Thu onlv excontlon th it I could take to tho language of Mrs. Smith, was hur eh.irgu 011 thu police, ami tnat 1 eouiu nor disprove, iters was tho language of u sulrltod woman feeling the Insult nlfered. Hut, to nmlto 0110 other correction -there was 110 arrest until after the lecture. Yours Uenpertruliy, W. (Jaiiiusdn. OHUANI.KI). The Chess and Cheoker Club Meet Ofllo ers, Hiid Arrange for Work. The San Antonio Chess and Checker club met on Saturday, and completed their organi zation by electing the following permanent officers. President, Mr. Henry Ryder-Taylor; Vice-President, Mr. John II. Copcland; Secre tary, Mr. Gerald Griffin, Treasurer, Mr. L. Madarasz, of the San Antonio National bank. Committee of management, Messrs. John Norcross, William Holland, P. T. Field, and the officers as ex officio members. It was reported that the President had leased a club room In Groos' building, and the committee received instructions to arrange for its furnish ing and opening as soon as possible. The first friendly match under the auspices of the club, occurred on Saturday. The combatants were Mr. F. T. Field and Mr. John Norcross. After a very good game, Mr. Norcross made a false move, and soon afterwards gave up the contest. WASSON'S PltOSPUUTS. It la Innluuated that thn Convicted Kx- Paymaster Premeditates Bululde. The Washington Critic publishes the follow ing item respecting ex-Paymaster Wasson : 'The War Department has received a com munication from e(' Paymaster Wasson, re lating to his membership in the Army Mutual Aid association. He says: 'My dues in the organization have been paid up to next De cember, and in ju.tice to my family I hope if I am dropped it will not be until after that date.' The communication will be referred to the committee at its next meeting. It is hinted by some that Wasson premeditates suicide while in prison, as the above associa tion onty disburses upon the death of a mem ber, and he wants to make sure of the money before he c mmits the act." Fred Wurile Coining, Mr, Fred Warde, who delighted San Anlo nians last year, appears in the Turner opera hall during the coming season, and will be sup ported by the following ladles and gentlemen : Miss Anna Boyle, Miss Sarah Goldberg, Miss Francis Field, Miss Flora Gaines, Mr. John T. Malone, Mr. L. F. Rand, Mr. James B. Curran, Mr. J. M. Sturgeon, Mr. C. Palmoni, Mr. J. A. Ransome, Mr. F. W. Jackson, Mr, T. E. Garrick, Mr. Robert Woodman, Mr. Gustave Ileege, Mr. F. Van Horn. His re pertoire will include thi following plays; Virginius, Richelieu, Hamlet, Othello, Mac beth, Richard HI, Damon and Pythias, Ingo mar, Julius Caesar, Urutus, Merchant of Venice, Katherine and Petruchio. He Hacked Out. A rather amusing scene occurred at the Polo match on Saturday, when a too zealous believer in the cow boys' ability to beat the Britishers was talking loudly of what the cow boys could and would do during the match. He wanted to bet that the Englishmen would not get three goals out of five. An American gentleman took the wager up, and placing $100 in the Lioht Commissioner's hands, offered lo lay $100-10 $50 that the Britishers I would do better than that. The cow bovs' advocate sobered down immediately, refused the wager and was silent'during the remain der of the match. It Wuulil be Nice. Speaking about tho weather Wouldn't It bo uloo To turn on tho lea And allow a stream Of vanilla cream To moisten your guzzle ?

"There is no more powerful apparatus for the conveyance of disease than a book," says the London Lancet. A list of the maladies moU easily conveyed by means of books Is given as follows : "Measles, scarlet fever, diohtheria. sore throat, whoopinc-couch, bronchitis, and perhaps phthisis." 'Ihe germs of disease "may lie for weeks, months, or, perhaps years, between the pages of a bound book, to be dislodged at some unpro pitious moment when the volume chances to be handled by a susceptible person."
