AT meeting of the Penitentiary
Board, yesterday, at which the Gov
ernor presided, there were present the
financial agent and one of the
Huntsville contractors. Exactly what
transpired was not made public, but
the session was rather protracted. and
a good deal of discussion was had. 1t
is stated that the object of the meet
ing was to consider petition from
contractors, looking to modification
of their agreements, and for such ac-
commodation by the Board DIS to help
them through the dull times. At
present nothing can be realized from
a large amount of manufactured ar
ticleS.
Some $25, 600 has been drawn from the
treasury for the penltentiarries, since
the general appropriation act went
into effect, which amount is alleged to
have gone for deficiencies. The board
will doubtless act with considerable
circumSpectlon.

BUsIN ESS FAILURE.
r.. Rertran,, the Wholesale Grocer,
Matea nm As. :gnment


The business portioa OF our COM
munity was considerably surprised
about noon. yesterday, over the report
of the assignment OF X. Bertra.n,
which was found to be true. MI.
Bertram is among the oldest mer-
chants of Austin, and tor many years
did a most hourishing business, IN the
course of which he amassed consider
able wealth. The firm of Bertram,
Brueggerhoff 81 Moeller was one OF
the largest wholesale concerns in Aus
tin. They did business in the build
ing now occupied by THE STATESMAN
PUBLISHING COMPANY until burnt
out in the carly part OF 1888.
Mr{ Bertram haE an or late
engaged in business on Lavaca street,
in the northern part Of the city.
His assignment, was as stated ABOVE,
in the nature of Il complete surprise, as
he was thought to be possessed OF
ample resources to carry on his bust
ness. Il was said, however, that he
never recovered financially from the
fire alluded to above.
AS shown by assignment papers
filed in the Office of County Clerk. the
assets are, in round figures $4,000,
Liabilities $4,000. Mr.. Thad Thonp-
son will act as assignee.
The liabilities are distributed as fol-
lows: Galveston merchants, some
$4,000; New Orleans, $500; New
York and Brook! n, $500; ST Louis,
81, 900; Chicago, Jersey City, TeIre
Haute, Philadelphia, Louisville
and Austin. the rest. The Aus
tin liabilities (mainly to three banks)
amount to $35, 900, mostly secured by
deeds of trust on city property. The
assets arc, as stated in the schedule.

s 1me $4,000. to-wit: Real estate
above encumbrance, $14, 500; personal
effects, $1,100; merchandise, $4,000;

Mr.. Bertram has the respect and SYM
patty of numerous friends and patrons
in his present reverserses; and it is
stated that he might have weathered
through, had he not previously deter
mined to retire from business.

BY Austin Ladies-HOw the Fair Sex
Can Handle a Winchester.
at meeting of the members of the
Capital Rifle Club, some weeks ago, it
was decided to offer a gold medal,
suitably inscribed, to be competed for
by ladies-the wives and daughters Of
the members.
At the first trial for this medal there
were eight entries. The distance was
100 yards, and the prize was won by
Miss Laura Mas. The score was as
follows, out of possible SO:
Miss Laura Mas II 12-31.
Miss Anna Petmecky, IL z 11-30.
Miss Julia Mas, z IL 7-26.
Mrs. M. Mas, 8 IL 1919.
Mrs. r.. Won B9ckman, 6 11-26.
Mrs. A. Summons, IL 12-24.
Mrs. Il. Junck, II 9-22.
Mrs. j. Petmceky, IL $50.
The gun used is a Winchester, 8.
calibre. The members of the club are
Justly proud of the craftsmanship o,
the lady members, and will enter thu
names of three of the young ladies tt
compete for the medal to be offered a

THE FIRE EIEND
An Avenue Tobacco Store Dooe Up by
the Flames.

All avenue TOBACCO store DOOo Dy
the Flames.
AT about half-past o'clock yester-
day morning officer VIM. Howe dis
covered that the CLUB Cigar Store, Of
which Mr.. NJ. T. Rogers is proprietor,
was IN flames. Hurrying to the Police
Station he gave the alarm, and soon
the entire fire department was on the
scene. The building is one Of several
shabby little structures, just south of
the furniture store of d. w. Jones
81 Co.
Pretty soon the active lads Of Colo
RADIO Nc. 2 and Washington No. l are
throwing streams of water inside the
apartment, and it does not take them
long to down the dread destroyer.
Time and again have the brave and
ready firemen of Austin saved the
business part of the city from total
destruction. 1t is only just. and not
in the nature Of falSome t1attery, to
say what has been observed frequently
by strangers, that the Volunteer Fire
Department of Austin is one of the
best in the South. This is in accord
aEce with the exact facts, and the men
of Colorado, and Washington, of Hook
and Ladder No. and Protection No.
3 are a credit to the city and an honor
to the department they represent.
The store-room was badly used up,
the ceiling being burned through, and
the contents suffered even worse.
What the fire did not consume was
ruined by water. Piles of soaked
cigars and chewing tobacco lay
strewn upon the floor. 1t is doubtful
if five per cent. was uninjured.
Mr.. Rogers was insured for $3.50,
$2,2o0 in the Etna, of
of Hartford, and 1000 in the Impe-
rial of London. The stock consisted
Of plug and smoking tobaccos and
cigars, and was insured for $4,000, the
remaining $3.50 on fixtures, etc.
How the fire originated is unknown,
though from the fact that the till was
emptied of a number of small silver
coins, it may be that it was set on fire
by burglars. Like the fire that hap
pened nearly opposite a few nights
since, its origin is wrapped in mys-
terY,

my skin cleared OFF. My knees, which had be-

learned how little land is required for
furnishing food for a human being a
year. provided that little is well culti-
waited and the crops well chosen. A
woman in the Hudson River Valley,
who cultivates only six acres, supplies
her family with all that garden will
yield. keeps cow and horse, and sells
| besides some $500 to 800 worte OF
fruit and garden truck each year. II
is needless to add that she raises more
than one crop in year, and allows NJ

GRANULAR EFFERvE: CENT TEA
DR.. Samuel w. Francis suggests that
some responsible firm manufacture a
superior quality of granular efferves-

small twenty-five cent bottles, and
larger ones tor one dollar. This
enable persons who are feeble, or
tired, or cold, to put one teaspoOnful
in tumbler or cup of hot or cold wa
ter, and, in a few seconds, enjoy the
comforts of a refreshing cup Of tea,
which is all readymade, as it could be
mixed with milk, sugar, or its equiv

prove of great value and become
popular. A handsome income is open

stale bread for foundation; if care
is taken in removing any or all Of the
crust that is dark brown, the fritters
will be light-colored, and very invi-
ting in appearance. Eggs are a good
addition in the proportion of four
eggs to one quart of sweet milk, a
tablespoonful of salt, and four or five
slices of bread are also required. The
bread should lie soaking in the milk
for two hours. It can be broken into
small bits, and then it will not be
lumpy.
