We have tents for all who want to camp; they arc
completely furnished with cots, bedding and cook
stove.
Our Automobiles leave our office in the Gibbs Build

friends out to see this property.
Hundreds of people arc inquiring about this prop
erty and the sale of lots has begun in earnest now.
People are coming from a distance to see San Jose.
It will soon be one of the show places of San An
tonio.
Nobod}' will ever have cause to regret having in
vested money in San Jose. The increase in values
will be rapid.
As soon as we get our car to running wc will moye

This is going to be a town, not an addition, and it
will be a town that any one mav feci proud to live in.

ROYAL HAS GOOD
“KUM RIGHT IN” BILL
Four entertaining nets and the pic
tures is the biii that Manager Spencer
is offering in his popular vaudeville
house for carnival week.
The Ahlbergs open the bill in difficult
acrobatic stunts that are featured by
u line of comedy that gets a laugh with
every move. The act. is nicely set in
the barnyard of a farm. This lends
color to the manner in which they per
form amazing nets that calls for
strength and agility.
McLean and Bryant in an amusing
comedy sketch entitled “Ootsey” call
for a bit of acting to carry out a pleas
ing little plot along with the introduc
tion of several well rendered songs.
Vivian and Altoni in “Fun in a Chin
ese Laundry,” kept the house in a roar
with their comic tumbling and turning I
feats.
Edna Julian, in a variety of graceful
dances, was most pleasing. Owing to
her good looks and personality, she was
easily the favorite of the bill, being
heartily applauded after each dance.
Her hornpipe and Spanish dances were;
the best and were appreciated by the
house.
WOODWARD APPEARS
IN LEADING ROLE.
Nat Goodwin’s great success, “Tn
Mizzouri,” was again made a success
by the Isabelle Lowe Stock company at
the Empire yesterday, when it pleased
two large audiences. II. Guy Wood
ward. the able stage director, appeared
in the leading role of Jim Radburn, the
sheriff, aud the result was what might
have been expected. The play is full
of pathos and humor and the settings
are pretentious. In the second act ir
blacksmith shop is shown and n real
forge aud bellows add realization in
the shape of sparks and red hot iron.
Joseph Remington plays the part of
Joe Vernon, the blacksmith politician,
| in a very pleasing manner. A lot of
I humor is furnished by Miss Grace Ray
| moud as Miss Vernon. Isabelle Lowe
plays the part of ’Lizbeth, the slovenly
। and lazy maid, to perfection. Miss
Van in the leading role of Kate Vernon
। adds new laurels to her reputation.
“hi Mizzouri” will be the bill until
Thurday. when the farce comedy. “The
i Boss of the House.” will be presented;

ALL THUNS LOST
ON THE FAIR SEX
Boston, Mass., April 18.—The bald
headed woman is a thing of the near
future, if she continues to wear rats
in her hair, according to Dr. C. J.
White, who has gone to some length in
warning against it. And the woman,
for their part, can be depended upon
to ignore anything that slaps nt style.
He says wire puffs nrc not so bad,
because they admit of ventilation for
the hair, but “rats” heat if nnd tempt
it to degenerate and in time it. falls
out. Besides, he says, ami ihat may
have some little effect, an old face with
young looking hair looks ridiculous.
This Was a protest against the use of
hair dyes, which he calls dangerous.
But rats —shun them, girls, if you
want to have anything left to wear
them in.

and some snow prevails in the upper
Mississippi valley, in the lake region,
in the Ohio \alley aud in New H '— Hud.
Snow is falling in eastern Missouri and
in Illinois.
A high pressure area is following this
storm, bringing with it decidedly colder
