Yesterday morning the STATESMAN re-
porter concluded to save walk, and re-
paired to Jones' Commercial College to
communicate with police headquarters by
telephone, TO find out the evil doIngs that

the reporter spoke into the little
instrument: "Any rows ~ "Any rows }"

fell into kettle of soft soap. Willie has
swallowed button ; the baby is yelling,

The following remarks of the Leaven-
worth Times, although of local nature,
are appropriate to other cities and towns
that are not overly clean:
"While there has yet been no positive
knowledge gained regarding malarial
poison, Notwithstanding the many theo-
ries regarding it, we do know the circum-
stances tending to produce and develop
It, We know that it is generated by
vegetable matter, either upon the sur
face or in the substance of the soil,
and that moisture there will generate the
poison. 1t cannot be developed below
the average temperature of SO degrees
Farenheat for the twenty-four hours, and
will not become epidemic except in a
temperature as high as 65 de-
grees for the twenty-four hours. The
Times has called frequent attention to the
state of some of the alleys in this city,
which, if not attended to before the
warm weather. comes on, will surely
breed sickness. The temperature at the
present time is considerably in excess OF
60 degrees, and therefore the danger of
malaria arising from these alleys 10 very
great. The matter of cleaning up should
be attended to, and we hope it will be
without delay.

Milan and Rockdale.

Tuesday last, reporter of the STATES
MAN took a little trip up the International
as far as Milano junction His first stop
ping place was Rockdale, which has i'm
proved some in the last few months. Be-
sides the erection of an elegant three
story brick hotel, many new store and
dwelling houses have been built, the
streets and sidewalks put in good condi-
ton, and had the citizens succeeded in
getting the g., c. & S. F. K. r. to pass
through the place, Rockdale would have
had at no distant day population of
double what she can now hope for. The
merchants say, however, that their trade
last fall was better than for several
years. After spending part OF q
day here, and securing a large num-
Der of subscribers to the DAILY
STATESMAN, the reporter boarded q
freight for Milano, "the future great"
This new town is about nine miles from
Rockdale, at the junction Of the Interna-
tional and Santa Fe, and is the creation
of these two roads. A large two-story
hotel is being erected for the accommo-
dation of the public, and will be in full
blast in about three weeks. Mr.. 81. Gold
sticker, one of the leading business
men of Rockdale, owns large
ice house at the junction, and 10
the wholesale agent for Lemps' beer.
He cools the heated Inhabitants in the
different towns up and down the two
roads, and furnishes the thirsty with ice
cold beer, and to do this it requires
two cars of ice and one of beer per week.
The Santa Fe company own about 200
acres and have laid off a large number of
lots which can be bought for from ten to
twenty dollars each. The round-houses
of the International at Rockdale have
been torn down and will be erected at
this point. MIR. E. E. Lang, late of Aus
tin, is in charge of the international
freight and passenger business at Milano,
and is the fright man in the right place.
The reporter did not learn whether
Milano will be a candidate for the state
university or not.

Last week our commissioners court was

judge. There was petition TO change
one of our county roads pending, all the
parties interested being present. The
application was just about to be pre-
scented, when the matter was cut shortAy

by prominent member of the court to
lay the petition on the table," which mo-
ton was unanimously carried. The court
Informed the interested parties that the
application was killed, and nothing fur
Their could be done. Such absurd pro-
ceedings to deprive citizens of their legal
rights should be condemned by all good
citizens.
OUTRAGE.
A negro boy, fourteen years ofage, was
bonded out of Jail by citizen OF this
county, taken home and put to work.
while ,plowing he was chained to the
pillow hoppled with iron shackles while
chopping cotton, and at night was
chained by the neck to post to prevent
his running away. The boy not liking
such unkind and brutal treatment, made
his escape, and while on his way back TO
Georgetown was pursued and caught
with dogs. The offenders were arrested
and fined by the county court twenty
five dollars each. Such outrageous and
brutal treatment should be punished to
the utmost extent of the law. We are
informed the offenders are now endeav-
oring to get up petition to the governor
asking him to remit the fine. r. II. u.
