FRIDAY,
CAMPAIGN FOR
HE COIISEUM
j How Other Cities Succeeded In
Raising Funds for Such
Enterprises.
In preparation for a campaign that
will he started sooner or later by the
Chamber of Commerce and that may
begin this year, for providing San An
tonio with a coliseum and the Chamber
of Commerce with adequate quarters,
Secretary J. B. Carrington is securing
data to as complete, an extent as possi
ble from other cities all over the coun
try as to-the method-of raising funds
for such enterprises, by whom owned
and controlled, uses, cost, etc.
Much valuable inform- lion has been
secured which will undoubtcil be put
to use in San Antonio when the matter
of providing these two structures ul
timately forces itsejf to the surface
through the maze of railroad schemes,
and bonus plans that have for the past}
year confronted the Chamber of Com
merce.
How Memphis, Tenn., secured her
Chamber of Commerce building is told
in a letter received this morning from
.1. S. Warren, secretary of the Memphis
Business Men’s club. Mr. Warren's let
ter follows:
■‘When the Business Men's club de
cided to erect its. own building it had
accumulated $35,000. Property at 79-81
Monroe avenue wax bought for $55,-
000: $35,000 cash payment was made.
Within the next two years $20,000 was
accumulated and the property was un
encumbered. Meantime an offer of $BO,-
000. $25,000 profit, was declined for the
property. In 1906 the club issued and
sold to the Bank of Comemree and
Trust company, $lOO,OOO of bonds at
par.
“A building costing about $115,000
was erected and furnished at a cost of
approximately $14,000. Operating ex
penses of the new club were, of course,
much larger than those of the limited
quarters originally occupied, so aecmu
lation was not so rapid as in the old
history. During the first year, how-
I ever, matters straightened out so that
I the club is running smoothly and an
I ample sinking fund for retiring the
I bonds is being provided.
I “The ownership is in the name of
i the Business Men’s club and no in
dividual has any interest or title there
| in, except, of course, the bondholders.
| and they are more than safe. There is
; no capital stock. It is absolutely man
aged and controlled by its membership
or, at least, by the membership’s rep
resentatives, the board of directors.’’
SAYS GAS PLANT
IS A NUISANCE.
SUES FOR DAMAGES
Declaring the gas plant of the San
Antonio Gas and Electric company to
be a nuisance, Joe Morin has filed
suit in the Fifty seventh district court,
asking $lO,OOO damages for injuries to
his property’, himself and his family.
Morin sets forth in his petition that
the gas plant is located opposite his
property on Durango street, that nox
ious odors arise from it. inflammable
material is continually stored there,
endangering the lives of himself atid
family and his house is continually
shaken and jarred by the machinery.
As the result of this he claims his
family suffer from headache, nausei
and are generally physically weakened.
His -property, he sots forth, is worth
$2500, and this the company has re
fused to pay him.
WELLMAN WILL NOT
Christiania, Sept. 10. —A special dis
patch from Tiromsoe to the Aftenpost
en, says that Walter Wellman has in
structed his' agents to arrange for the
return of all the explorer’s property
from Virgo Bay, Spitsbergen, as well
as the three men who w-ere to have
spent the winter there.
It is understood that Mr. Wellman
has abandoned hie plans for reaching
the North Pole for the next year.
Weak Women
To weak and ailing women, there Is at least one
way to hel>. But with that way, two treatments
must be combined. One Is local, one is constitu
tional. but both are important, both essential.
Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure is the local.
Dr Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional.
The former—Dr. Shoop's Night Cure—is a topical
mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr.
Shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treat
ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the
entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve,
all tissue, and all blood ailments.

The Night Cure”, as its name implies, does its
work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflam,

discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous
excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition,
buildsup wasted tissues, bringing about renewed
strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's
Restorative —Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic
to the system. For positive local help, use aj weU

96th After-Supper Event
Saturday Night, From 7 to 10 o’Clock
If you were here last Saturday night you certainly must have been surprised to
find an almost overwhelming crowd of eager shoppers, and at the great “lay-out”
of seasonable merchandise at belief-baffling low prices. Now tomorrow night there’ll
be even a greater throng, and the bargain attractions will be just as alluring—and
we’ll give a better service, for nearly all our people are back from their vacations.
•i Not an item advertised here will be on sale before 7 o’clock —remember, this is an
“After-Supper” Feast and wc want every one to have an equal share or opportunity
— but we venture to advise those who appreciate the worth of first choice td
come early, if possible.
$3.50 for New Fall Hats Worth $5 to $6.50
This W. & M. millinery leadership is just as pronounced and marked in the hats of lit
tle cost as it is in the finer lines. Styles are as attractive, but materials are not so fine, nor trim
ming so elaborate. The same care and skill in designing is exercised, whether it be a $5.00 or a
$50.00 hat. So it coines about that this lot of fifty new fall hats that we had made up to sell
for $5.00 to $6.50 is a collection of as charming styles as we’ve ever shown. Every new color and
new shape—trimmed \vith silk and painted wings. A few cashmere hats, faced with white satin
—all colors. $5.00 to $6.50 hats—new fall styles—“ After Supper” at $3.50.

ZOUAVES TO
BE REORGANIZED
For the purpose of bringing about a
reunion of the members of the once
famous San Antonio Zouaves, a iqeet
ing will be held at 10 o'clock next
Sunday morning in the editorial rooms
of the Daily Light and. Gazette. The
first steps looking toward the reunion
will then be taken.
'Hie question of a reunion is being
pushed by Edward Pigott of this city,
who served throughout the life of this
military organization. The San An
tonio Zouaves was a popular and well
drilled military organization and for
the most part was composed of San
Antonio boys. The body was similar
to that of the Belknaps of this city
and came out victorious in several drills
in the country of considerable magni
tude.
According to Mr. Pigott, many of the
organization, especially those who serv
ed in company G, are still in the city.
Be expresses the belief that if the
movement is given proper ' encourage
ment the reunion may be made a nota
ble event and will- be the means of
bringing together of many old com
panions and will result in stirring
events of the past being Vividly re
called.

CC Q CURES
W.W.O.OLD SORES
If an old sore existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the place that would kill the germs; or the diseased flesh might be
removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact
that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even
return after being out away, shows that back of them is a morbid cause
which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the
pollution continues in the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the
deposit of impurities which the circulation throws off. S. 8. S. cures Old Sores
by purifying the blood. It rmnoves every trace of impurity and taint from
the circulation, and thus completely does away with the cause. When
S S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore begins to heal, and it is not a
surface cure, but the healing process begins at the bottom; soon the dis
charge ceases, the inflammation leaves, and the place fills in with firm
healthy flesh. Under the purifying and tonic effects of S. S. S. the system
is built up, ana those whose health has been impaired by the drain and
worry of an old sore will be doubly benefited by its use. Book on Sores
and Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who write.
