HE CAME HERE IN 1858 He Believes San Antonio Will Be Center for Entire South west Before Many Years, Convinced that San Antonio Is des tined to become the great metropoli tan center of the southwest, from a commercial, health, pleasure, and rail, road standpoint, Walter G. Coleman, general traveling passenger agent of the Seaboard Air line, with headquar ters at Washington, whose territory is the United States, Canada' and Mexico, arrived in San Antonio this morning, with a view of looking over the field for the purpose of Increasing the trbvel on his road to this point. The line Mr. Coleman represents has di rect connections with San Antonio at Birmingham, the terminus of the Sea board Air Line railroad, and at Memphis. San Antonio Known Everywhere. "No one,” said Mr. Coleman, "can prophesy as to the future growtn o, San Antonio. I mean the extent of that growth. I have seen it grow from an obscure village to the Im portance of a thriving, bustling, hustling metropolis. San Antonio is known all over the entire country. I regard its winter climate as the finest in the country, and superior to that of California. I have lived in Califor nia for several years, but the dry win ter climate in San Antonio excels that of California." Mr. Coleman was here four years ago. "I tell, you," he said, “the growth of San Antonio even during that time has been nothing short of marvelous." Mr. Coleman will leave tonight for bi. Louis and Washington. Win Here In 1858. Th.- occasion of Mr. Coleman’s first visit to San Antonio was in 1858. when the trip had to be made by steamer from New York city to Indianola, and the rest of the journey completed In stage. A stage line connecting San Antonio with Indianola and the outsldh world, ran by way of Seguin or by way of Gonzales. Mr. Coleman -at that time was a boy fourteen or fifteen years of age and came to San Antonio to visit Captain James L. (lakes, afterwards a brigadier general In the United States army. General Oakes died in the early part of this year. General Oakes at the time of the visit of Mr. Cole man was stationed at Uvalde, and after arrlvingln San Antonio Mr. Cole man rode on horseback to that place. Chased By Indians. On his return to San Antonio after his visit to Uvalde. Mr. Coleman was attacked by a band of Indians a short distance from Uvalde. Mr. Coleman claimed his escape was due to the fact he was mounted on a Kentucky thor oughbred, and to the timely arrival of Major Van Dorn, afterwards a gen eral In the Confederate army, who was then stationed near Castroville. Mr. Coleman and his horse had made the run from Uvalde to Castroville be fore this assistance was rendered. In 1863 he returned to San Antonio as a colonel in the engineering corps of the Confederate army under Gen eral Oliver Buckler, who was then sta tioned St Houston. General Buckler is the only living Confederate general. Houston Street Was a Trail. While in San Antonio, and during his visits to San Antonio while sta tioned at Houston. Mr. Coleman stop ped at the Smith house located on Main plaza in the vicinity of the place where the cou r t house stands. The only other building in the neigh borhood at that time was the San Fer nando Cathedral. In 1865, the Con federate army under General Buckler surrendered at Brownsville, and Mr. Coleman returned to New York city. Houston strict then. Mr. Coleman said, was a winding trail lined with thatched Mexican huts. Petty & Boudreaux, Real Estate. * Reported Assault Untrue.

It Is probable that before the ex piration of the present week B. F- Nicholson, president of the San An tonio Real Estate Exchange, will in spect conditions in the vicinity of the source of the San Antonio river with the end In view of ascertaining whether or not it is feasible for the exchange to undertake the project of drilling artesian wells to increase the river s flow. It was Mr. Nicholson's Intention to make the trip yesterday, but owing to other business he was not enabled to do so. He has stated, however, that he will no doubt make his investiga tions before the end of the week. He will observe the flow of wells in that locality, obtain data as to their depth and cost of drilling and his findings will be submitted to the directorate of the exchange. If the report is fa vorable steps will probably be taken to carry out the scheme. That wells of sufficient strength to materially Increase the amount of wa ter In the river can be obtained is the belief of many who have studied the matter. Others think the wells would have to be pumped If sunk. But all agree this means of Improving the river's condition is more feasible than other plans that have been suggested. It has been suggested by some that If the flow of the great well drilled for George W. Brackenridge a few months ago could be diverted into the San Antonio Tiv<» the question would be settled. When unimpeded the flow of this well is 21,000.000 gallons In a day of twenty-four hours. It has been cut down and Is now flowing about 8.000.000 gallons, all of which is going into the Salado river. The well. Is approximately three miles from the head of the San An tonlo river and it is thought the flow could be piped to the river at a nomi nal cost. HKD OF JEWELS DURING HONEYMOON Dallas Bride Secreted Them. Took Siesta and They Were Missing When She Awakened. Robbed of her engagement ring, a pair of diamond ear-rings and her purse containing $B. on her wedding tour was the experience of Mrs. J. R Hill of Dallas a few nights ago.

She began • search for her jewels and found that they had disappeared. She called her husband and together they searched the trunk, going over every thing, looking Into pockets and shak ing out the garments in hopes that the missing articles might be hidden in the folds. The parties were stopping at an apartment house and the loss was reported to the management, who rec ommended that the police be called, but the bride shrank from the inves tigation. the long delay on their honeymoon, and the possible appear ance In court, and the loss was not reported. Mr. and Mrs. Hill returned to their home in Dallas without re porting the loss to the officers and stated that they preferred to give up the jewels and that they doubted if the police would be able to unravel the case anyway.

W.: Because of a lack of proper nourishment your hair Is dull, brittle and splits at ends. The only way in which to overcome this is toi massage the scalp vigorously two or three times each week for a while, using a quinzoin tonic.

Established 1866 Health and Beauty Queries BY MRS. MAE MARTYN. COLLIER IS COMING Ho Is Helping Southern Cities to Get Concessions From Railroads. Colonel D. D. Collier, president of the Panama-California exposition, who is touring the south in an effort to band southern cities together so they can better force the railroads to cease discriminating against the south in passenger traffic, will be in San Antonio September 14. Advices to this effect were received by the Cham* ber of Commerce this morning. G. Grosvenor Dawe, managing di rector of the Southern Commercial congress, will accompany Colonel Col lier to San Antonio. He writes that they will arrive at 10:45 a. m, Sep tember 14 and depart at 10 o’cioca that night. He states that it is their desire to be of help and expresses the hope that the city will co-operate with them for mutual advantage. They wish to meet with directors of the Chamber of Commerce and members of the Advertisers’ ciub. Arrangements will at once be made for the meeting as it fs looked as being of prime importance. Colonel Collier is visiting some fifty southern cities to stir them into action against the railroads refusing to allow stop over privileges on tickets routed through the south, and other alleged discriminations. tlguing and dieting is tortuous. You can reduce your weight by a much more simple method and at the same time avoid any clanger of overtaxation to the vital organs if you get four ounces par notls and dissolve in a pint and a naif hot water. When cool take a table spoonful before meals. This, you will find, is u pleasant and sure way to dis solve the fatty tissue without leaving the skin flabby or wrinkled. Miss X.: Your objection to a wet shampoo because of the work entailed will be overcome if you get a package of canthroz unci dissolve a teaspoonful In a cup of hot water, then pour a lit tle at u time on the scalp and massage briskly. This makes a pleasing and wonderfully cleansing lather. vVhen the scalp and hair are rinsed you wiU find both immaculately clean, and the hair will dry quickly and evenly and nave a rich gloss and softness. Grace: So long as you use powder you will have an oily skin and other complexion troubles, because the minute particles clog the pores and hinder the work of nature. This simple lotion is superior to powder, and acts as a cleans ing agent to the skin; Dissolve four ounces spurmax in one-half pint hot water, add two teaspoonfuls glycerine and when cool apply, rubbing gently until dry. The use of this lotion clears the skin of pimples, blackheads, freckles and tan, and makes it soft, smooth and velvety. The continued use of this spur maf lotion overcomes that oily, shiny condition, is invisible when on and does not rub off or spot in hot weather. M. A.: Nature must be assisted If you would have brilliant, magnetic eyes. Even though your eyes are dull, they will grow strong and have the sparkle and lustre of youth It you make up and use this eye tonic: into one pint cold water dissolve .in ounce or crystos Putting two or three drops in each eye twice dally relieves the smart and ache strengthens weak eyes, and in many in stances does away w, *h , - Read Mra Martyns Book.
