purchased and brought here three
very fine thoroughbred horses. Yes

where he will devote large portion
of his time and means to rearing fine

Mr.. Turner is the first man in
Texas to import into this state any

ing to the Misrepresentation of anoth-

The repeated analyses by many emf

Fifty years ago the capital invested
in cotton factories was S40OO0,0O0, and
the amount of cotton used was H.
1896 pounds. To-day the capital
is 1925, 100000, and the material used
793, 2405OO pounds. Forty years ago
the wooden factories used 50,S0S. 524
pounds of wool. turning out products
worth $20,696,699. In 1880, 1877, 1916,
6O5 pounds of wool were manufac-
tured into articles worth 1924, 587 gu.
In the last ten years our silk products
have increased from value of
$12,21O,662 to 1874, 1862, Fifty
years ago there were but few tan
neries and no shoe factories. In
1870, 4237 tanneries, using 9,000,

Securing State Endorsement.


There has been some complaint in
regard to the manner in which the
sale of lands for taxes in unorganized
counties are being published. The
Herald secured the contract to pub
lish the list and is doing So. We have
looked at it carefully and are not
prepared to say the work is not prop
erly done. But then it looks just a
little odd to see the advertisement of
E. NJ Powell appearing all through the
Columns, an Comptroller Swain Ger
tlfying that the whole thing is cor
rect. We read in one breath that
taxes on scrip ITO, survey No. 43 is
due from 1881, and in the next breath
that Powell has more land, the best
land, and the cheapest land in the
state for sale. Mr.. Swain should pull
down hi certificate from over the
mead of Powell's advertisement, or
require it to apply only to the lands
advertised to be sold.

Gould Bite With a Collar.

81 asked policeman; said report
er of the Herald, IF having on col
lar, showing that the dog was licensed,
did not prevent him being en-
pounded" He answered.: No, sir;
he must be muZzled. A dog can
bite as well with a collar as without.
He must be empounded and killed if
ne has no muzzle, even if he has fifty
license collars" = New York Herald
This is given to show how deluded
are the city authorities of New York
On the dog question. Here in Aus
tin we have Il city council that knows
more about dogs than they do in the
Old Dutch City. Our city lawmakers
know that ii a man only pays a dog
tax (and ;ibont one man in thirty
four pays that, his dog is not sup
posed to bite anyone. In fact, our
council is educating the people of
Austin up to the fact that they must
keep out of the way of the city's
wards, the numerous unmuZzled
dogs. 1t is not necessary to have the
mouths of our four or
five thousand loose dogs
muzzled. True, they do forget and
mutilate boy or girl, or even a
grown person, once In q while. But
it is always shown in court that the
party getting chewed up dared to at
tempt to make the dog get out of the
way on the streets, or tOuc led him as
he was sleeping across the side
walk, and then the owner is not
fined, and the dog goes forth again
master of the situation. People liv-
ing in Austin must learn to keep out
of the way of dogs in hot weather,
as they are very irritable then, and
are apt to bite. and their owners will
be highly inSulted if you sh, uld COM
plain about being mangled by their
dog. To suggest to the city council
of Austin that an ordinance is badly
needed here, requiring every dog
found outside a yard to have on a
muzzle, or be killed, would be as
much as the head of the suggestor
would be worth. Still, about seven
Fights of the citizens think that so
many dogs roaming around are dan
gerous and should be muZzled.

Justices Court-Precinct No. 8.

VIM. Won Rosenberg, tr., presiding.
Ia this court a jury has given yer
dict against the city for $163.20 in ia
vor of NJ. A. Taylor for certain :
counts transferred to him by ". Y .
Leader, to whom the city was indebt-
ed for printing. There were also
judgments in Justice Tegener's court
for total amount of about $3.50
against the city in favor of Messrs,
Foster 4 Co and others, who had
sued Leader and garnisheed the city.
Learler had transferred orders and ac-
counts against the city to the above
parties, Foster and others, which with
the Taylor orders were in excess OF
the amount of Indebtedness to Leader
acknowledged by the city. The ac-
counts transferred to Taylor by Lead
er not having been deducted from the
amount acknowledged by the city in
garnishment, and the accounts as far
as held by Taylor having been passed
upon by the city prior to the garnish-
ment, the city may have to pay Tay-
lor's verdict for Sl63. 20, notwithstand-
ing the Judgments in Justice Tegen-
er's court, which is for all that the
city owed Leader. The city will APP
peal the cases of Foster II Co. and
others from Tegener's court to the
county court. The jury in the Taylor
case seemed to think the city should
have deducted the Taylor accounts
before answering the garnishment.
