CITY NEWS
To Discuss Horse Show —At the re
quest of the president of the Horse
Show association all the stockholders
of the organization will meet this aft
ernoon at 4 o’clock at the Chamber of
Commerce to discuss the various plans
proposed for holding the show in San
Antonio this year. It was agreed
several weeks ago that the show this
year should not be held at the Fair
grounds on account of the distance
from the center of the city, but no
action has been taken on the question
of just where it shall be held. The
proposition to buy a big tent and give
the show in it has been suggested, and
this will be again discussed at the
meeting this afternoon.

GOiNG TO CAPITAL
TO SET ’EM RIGHT
J. E. Grinstead, editor of the Kerr
ville Mountain Sun and erstwhile
statesman, was in San Antonio today
en route to Austin on business with
state departments. When approached
on the subject of his mission Mr.
Grinstead said he was just going over
to f/ow the boys a few things that
ougnt to be different, but stated that
his errand had nothing to do with
lawmakers other than shaking hanas,
When asked what the business out
look in his section was. he said:
“There has not been such a won
derfully fine outlook for a grain crop
in our section for many years. The
acreage is very large and the crop is
in perfect condition at this time.
• Live stock Interests,” continued
Mr. Grinstead, "are In fine shape.
The losses of live stock have been
very slight this winter. If the weath
er continues warm there will be, in
our section, the lightest live stock loss
that has occurred for many years.
Light rains have fallen and the pros
pect when I left was good for more
rain. Grass is beginning to come, ana
on the whole the Hill country’ is m
tip-top shape.”
When matters political were men
tioned the former representative de
clared he was not interested in any
thing of the kind, that the state
might be cut into districts any shape
from a camel cookie to a hobble
skirt, without ruffling his feelings,
and that the figures on the political
chess board are just figures, to him
and no more. He wound up by say
ing, “The Hill country is the best
in Texas. The people are happy and
1 am busy all the time swinging roll
ers and setting type."
Antonio Scientific society will meet to
night, when the program will consist
of the reading of two papers and their
discussion. The first of these will be
"The Capture and Death of a Noted
Indian Chief. Crazy Horse," by Major
General Jesse M. Lee, U. S. A., re
tired. The other will be. "The Scien
tific Advancement of Modern Medi
cine,” by Dr. Fred Hadra. Those in
terested in the subjects are welcome to
listen to the discussion and hear the
papers.

CANNON ON LINCOLN.
Uncle Joe Declares President Had
Deep Love for Humanity.
Associated Press.
Washington. D. C., Feb. 13.—Per
sonal recollections of Abraham Lin
coln were related by Speaker Cannon
yesterday at a gathering in memory
of the martyred president. He re
futed the charge that Lincoln was not
a Christian or a God fearing man.
"The religion of Lincoln.” said Mr.
Cannon, "was not affiliated with any
church, but nevertheless, he was a
religious man doing all that he did
for his country in preserving the
union in the trust and fear of God. I
know of no love for humanity that
equalled that of Lincoln save that of
the Master. Had God failed to make
such a man as Lincoln, the union
would have perished and the country
died of dry rot.”

be no exception. Ever so many models to pick from—made of
serges, English and Scotch tweeds in plain and fancy colors,
checks, black and white stripes and gray mixtures. Coats with

sailor collars. Skirts have a tendency to be narrow.

fancy collars, many In the sailor with braiding all around; backs
of many coats are cut in fancy style—fronts are pointed. The

with heavy laces. Dresses, too. are embellished with these
heavy laces. Both suits and* dresses are in natural, white
and colors, $15.00 to 8150.00.
