Pursuant to call, about thirty young
men, members of the Waco Grays and
Cadets, met last night at the store
room recently vacated by Stephenson,
N5bs Il Steiner, for the purpose of or
ganizing a guard of honor for the veter-
ans The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. J. NJ. Cam, and the object stated.
Il. p. Ialley was chosen secretary, and
twenty-eight names We're enrolled as
members. Election of officers oeing
next in order, Robert C.. Brown
was chosen captain; J. NJ. Cain,
first lieutenant; Ed Stephenson, first
sergeant; Joney Jones, second sergeant
These being the only officers necessary,
no others were elected. After little
discussion on various questions the com
pany was called into line by
the captain and drilled for an hour
and half, exhibiting a very creditable
degree of proficiency. Before adjourn
ing they repaired to Bronuum's and
while discussing ice cream and soda
water, christened the new company the
Veteran Guards. All present being in
favor of il, the company will probably
become permanent organization, and
will no doubt be one that citizens gen
orally will feel an interest and pride IN.
All members are requested to meet III
at the same place tonight at :
o'clock sharp. Each memberls also re-
que-ted to bring all the extra uniforms
he may know of.

elephant. The EXAMINER desired to have
one TO run its presses but discovered justi
time that it would require about $50 per
month to run it, which is double what
steam or hand power costs. We do not
know how much more. il anv. it costs to
furnish water here than elsewhere. but il
certainly does not cost more than tour or
I'VE times as much AZ in other cities, yet
we find TO use it here one month would
cost us double as much a it
costs elsewhere for whole
year. 1t may be policy for the water
comps V to hold their rates so nigh that
certain classes cannot afford to avail them
selves nt its advantages. The company
certainly has right to do as il pleIseS
in the matter, but il does seem that some
discretion should be shown in the mat
ter. a family pays Sl2 per year tor a
water privilege and the livery man with
from ten to one hunderd horses and
dozens of hue gies to wash pay only Thirty.
a one teakettle steam power sewing ma
chine, if water is used TO run it. would
here pay more than livery Stable, and "A
printing office would pay out all the way
from $1,000 TO Sl.S00 per year Although
many woud be %IaG to discard hand and
steam power and adopt the motor, they
will hardly realize any saving at the
price they have to pay tor water and are
not likely to incur an additional expense
tor the glory of stopping steam OF hand

to stick TO the Old style. but the water

4 STRANGE DIFFERENCE
Between the Price of water in
Waco and EI>ew here.

Among the many advantages science
III the last few y ears has given mankind
the benefit OF is the water motor. In all
the important cities OF the union. Texas
included, this invention has proved of
pr. ctical utility, doing away with manual
labor, and often, N fact in nearly all cases
when power from onc-litlh up TO an
eight horse power is nccGCd it has sur
passed steam in StCadinCss OF motion and
chcapncSS IN operating. Several pan ties
IN Waco having use TOY such machinery
began To estimate upon what it would
cost to purchase and operate it. Circu-
lars were sent 10y the BacuS water motor
company showing the maximum and
minimum cost OF operating motors Tor
d1crent classes ct ~ ork, ard upon these
statements and the belief that tiev could
get water here at something near the
same figures i, in other citi,s two motors
were ordered One OF them was intended
for the commercial bar-ronm and the
other Tor PAT Farrels icc-cream freezer.
We give below the list OF prices which il
costs to run these motors according to
size, the table being made up from the
average cost OF water AT the different
places where they are in use
Family sewing machine $50 TO So
per year; Factory sewing machine 81 to
So per Year, meat choppers SIS to S25
per year; ice g cam irtezers : . TO SIS
per yea; church organs $40 10 S25 per
year; printing presses $50 TO S75 per
year, carpenter, furniture ana car shops
c25 10 S75 per year; coffee mills SO 10
so FER year.
The cost varies between those figures /
according to the number of beurs the /
motor is run. BY the above it will be |
seen that the outside cost OF running an /
Ice cream tire, Ter is S25 year, but accord

$500 to run Mr.. Farrells freezer and the
same amount to run the fans at the Com

Deserving of Legal Rep
riuhand.

The attention of the EXAMINER has
again been called to certain bad boys,
or We might say hard cases of rather
! tender years. They are colored youths
| who have no better occupation than
way-laying, beating and robbing white
school boys on their way to and from
! school. Parents or no one else seems
to exercise any restraint oyer them, and
they are fit subjects for attention in the
courts. A few days ago little son of
! Mr.. Mlnter, proprietor of the Grand
| Centr Il Hot |, was returning home from
| school when big, stout negro boy
met him on Sixth street, threw
him down, and after beating him until
his breath was almost gone, rihed his
| pockets of their contents. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Friedlander's little son
was returning from or going to the same
school when another negro boy, more
| than half grown, set upon him and, we
are informed. not only whipped him
badly, but cut him on the back of the
head with knife. We have been una
bic to learn the names of these young
negro rascals, but we learn that thew are
saucy and daring. A gentleman, we are
told, after Mr.. Minters son was hurt
and left almost helpless, took him in his
buggy and drove up and down several
streets ard around blocks in the hope
that the little boy would see and iden-
tlty him but the young rascal was adroit
enough to get out of sight at once,
Numerous iersons have told us that
they are afraid to let their sons come
down town for fear they would be wav
laid and beaten, and in several instances
we learn that children have been forced
to run home to escape rocks and other
missiles hurled at them by bad bows
Parents are not obliged to permit their
children to undergo such risks, andthe
should take pains to find out who those
offending boys are, and whether black
or white have them properly punished
IN the courts. Most parents try
to inculcate good manners in
their children, and well.behaved chill
dren should not be subjected to the
taunts and lashings of Il lot of urchins
who seem ito be running wild, with no |
one to correct them III their wrong do |
Ings. By all means let parents find out |
who these bad urchins are and make
strenuous efforts to have them pun
lshed. If their parents cannot control |
them, let the courts attempt it before
they get so old as to become hardened
IN badness and probably become dis
grace to themselves and parents, or in
naturer years carry their exploi to an
extent that may deprive them of their
liberty,

THAT FORGERY CASE.
HE Di~COni Caused a
Young Wan. all for
No Cause.

Our readers will remember that on
last Thursday the Examiner referred to
the arrest at Lorena, this county, of a
young mau named G. S. Borden, charged
with forgery. The papers were issued
by Esquire j. II. Harrison, of Hubbard
City, and came into the hands of deputy
sheriff George Oglesby, of this county,
who executed the instructions of the law
by going to LOrena, where he found
Borden, who was then operator and
agent FIR the Missouri Pacific
at that place. He WAS placed in
our county Jail, and being a
man of small means could not give such
a bond as would be required in forgery
case. He had to remain in Jail until
last Sunday night and might have lain
there until the next term of the district
court III Hill county, had not Mr.. Trav.
Jones, the only person whom Mr.. Bor-
| den knew, interested himself IN getting
! him Immediate trial that the amount of
/ evidence against him might be known
Borden was taken to Hubbard where he
/ expected to stand trial Monday, but to
/ his surprise, not a single witness was
/ produced to testify against him and
| the result was no trial
and he was liberated Borden states
that the heIghth of his offending was
copying telegram from memory. He
was called to take message and at the
time being busy with some other office
duty allowed the operator at the other
end OF the line to proceed and he after
ward wrote what was sent from memory.
He emphatically claims that this was all
the grounds they had for trumping up
a charge of forgery. After his dismis-
sal Borden states that the officers were
awful anxious to get him to leave Hub
bard, and he says the constable went
so far as 10 resign, and offered him $500
If he would leave. Borden, all for moth
ing, spent three or four days and nights
IN our county Jail and would have been
put III d cell had il not been for the len
lencency of our officers. lost his time,
had a shadow cast upon his reputation,
and perhaps lost his position. This is
hard for poor, honorable young man
to bear. We do not profess to know
what proof the Justice of the peace or
constable at Hubbard had against Bor-
den, but the fact of his dismissal wi h.
out trial would seem to show that he
has been treated wrong. 1t might be
well for such officers to provide them
selves with some law books and
inger over them, for they may yet
purchase trouble at higher
rate than they might wish. All good
citizens like to sc vigilant officers, but
to be safe they should be discreet as
well as vigilant. Mr.. Borden appears
10 be an unassuming though intelligent
young man and necessarily feels bad
over the treatment he has received, and
we learn is contemplating steps looking
toward redress.

Col. W. A. Taylor, Waco, Texas
Dear Sir: Your favor of the tenth in
slant, relative to The Texas Midland
railroad, is just received and brings to
my mind again the project, which had
agreed upon with you as very important
for the state, and | regret that we have
not been able TO accomplish it.
l do not think at the present time that
anything can be done for the construc-
ton of any roads in the State of Texas;
the action of the present legislature
shows such determined hostility to
railroads, that | have already seen the
effect of it on capitalists IN the east, who
have money invested in Texas and had
anticipated making further investments.
this at time of unusually scarce
money markets, makes it impossible to
bring forward any new enterprise.
Yours truly,
