Touching Pianos and Organs.
I claim to be a cheap house, but
unlike some of my competitors, I do
sell goods that arc not first-class.
Still 1 have more first-class goods n
my house ttan any house in Waco,
and I do not havo to wire anyone to
know tho lowest prico I can sell a
piano like every other first-class houso
and keep all kinde,both cheap, medium
and first class. But unlike some other
houses I do not sell a cheap instru
ment as first-olasB. becauso I am my
own boss, and do not have to do as I
am told about thefic thing?. Neither
have I as delicate a niuiical ear as
some, still I sell more pianos and
organs, bolter ones and for less money
than any house in Waco notwith
standing tho fact that I am not tho'
oldest houso in tho state and havo
sold sowing machines and do trado
for mules, horses and oattle and tako
them at good prioes and sell goods at
cash prices and will meet any -com-petitbrs

In our ropoit of oourt proceedings
Wednesday wo stated that Gurloy,
Ross and Gurley soourod judgment
against tho Waoo Stato bank in the
sum of 5,0G0.
Tho facts aro that tho Waco State
bank sued tho Gulf, Brazos Valley and
Pacific Railway company on notes
amounting to something near $G,000,
long past duo and sued out attach
ment against their property.
Tho jury found tho attachment
wrongfully sued out and gavo it the
valuo of the property and tho bank
took the property attached and return
ed judgment for tho balanoo of tho
debt.
A News reporter picked up a very
tender littlo epistle on tho streets on
election day. Ho read tho noto in a
fruitless endeavor to find out the
sendor and has only just recovered
enough to write this. The lotter was

The Needed Natatorlum.
Too muoh praise cannot be given to
those who erect such public institu
tions as natatoriums, becauso thoy are
public benefactions. They aro also
big undertakings and ones in which
the builders take big risks, as a littlo
oalculatiun will show Hut that they
will pay and pay well is an assured
faot as soon as the public is educated
to patronizo thom liberally. Tako tho
oost of a natatorium with its real is
tato and well at $-10,000 and a finoone
can hardly bo built for lebs. The in
terest on oapital will bo at ten per
oent 4,000 per jear. lho expenses,
takiog the Padgitt natatorium as an
example, amounts to $8040 a year. To
tms add taxes, repairs and insurance,
say $300, and tho total early ex
ponses will bo $8,000. To pay ex
penses tlipreforc from tho pool alone
will require, at 25 cents each, aO
bathers for every day in tho year.
Even at these largo expenses a nata
torium may be made to pay, provided
that tho public can be cduoatcd
to patronize them. But here
is tho rub. There oould be
no more commodiou, pleating or in
viting plaoo than tho Padgitt natato
rium. Tho building, the baths, the
water and the conduot of tho place in
beyond comparison with anything in
the stato. No placo was over run
with a keener seno of what in duo
tho great public and no exponso in
spared to mako it inviting. And yot
this natatorium is not patronized as it
should be. Outside of occasional
crowds the patronage of tho natatori
um is confined to u limited number
That number is constant and never
falling. They givo tho natatorium
preference over everything, because
thoy find health, vigor and asiuneinent
preferablo to all other things thoro
You see there the same peoplo always
and they aro a good steady oustoui
But there aro not enough of them
They fall far short of ninety a day or
fifty or forty. Tho faot U it will tako
years to get tho people, tho homo peo
pie to fall into swimming as a habit.
It is lamontable that there should
bo such an apathy to
the health, the ploasurrs
and tho other virtues of bathing in
such waters as ours but it is no lets a
faot that that apathy exists and that it
will take years to overcome it A
natatorium will just pay exponBcs from
tho pool when ninoty peoplo batho in
it every day in tho year and that timu
seems to bo romoto. To be a paing
institution it mutt bring peoplo lrom
abroad, rich invalids, and to that end
it must be supplied with hotel piivi
legos and bu sequestered from tho rush
of business. Such an institution
bringing money from all parts of the
country would bo of immeasurable
bonofit to Waco, and bo an immonstly
paving institution when fully patron
ized. Ono great natatorium inviting
invalids from the whole world would
mako Waoo a second Hot Springs
and also aocommodato the always
small homo patronage which iB to be
expected.

THUSE BONDS.
l'ruo Status of That Waco and
Northwestern Bond All'alr.
So muoh has been written and said
about tho Wico and Noithwostcrn
bonds that a short history would no
doubt be interesting to the readers of
fun Nkws. With this object in viow
a News loporter interviewed somo
old citizen this morning and olicitcd
tho fo lowing intnrmation.
In 1872 tho Morgan Lino Company
who were operating a line of steamers
to Galveston was tho owner or princi
pal stockholder in the Houston and
Texas Central Railway. Waco at tho
tirito had no railroad nearer than
Iircmood. Tho Morgan lino proposed
to extond their road to Wuco or rath
t build a now road to bo called the
Waoo and Northwottorn. Tnis thoy
proposed to do provided Waoo would
tako fc 100,000 worth or stock in tho
road. Tho oity was existing at the
timo under a charter which permitted
such a debt to be made Tho oity
then iseucd bonds for the amount and
the Morgan Company rcooived them
in lien of tho cash but by somo negli
ueuce or oarelcBannsH not now under
stood the stock certificates were never
delivered to tho oity The city otn
ployed eminent legal council both
hero and at Washington, D. C, who
finally rendered an opinion that the
oity was legally liable though tho oon
tiaot in nforence tc tho stock had not
been complied with.
As soon as this decision was mado
known tho city began purchasing and
retiring tho bonds as f.itt an it oould
bo dono. This was dono to tho extent
of $58,000 leaving $12,000 worth un
paid when they matured. Thoso
bonds, about which ho much talk has
been mado about tho oity's credit
being impaired, havo nover been pre
sented for payment though they wero
advertised for. Somo of lho holdcru
wero heard from and thoy preferred to
ho d tho bonds rathor than havo thom
paid. From tho present status of
affairs it would bo difficult for any ono
to imhginohow tho city's credit could
tin damaged by such a State of affairs.
Evidently an unjust debt at first and
only unpaid because thoy wero not
presented for payment it would tako
a wonderful stretch of imagination to
call it a default.
