Home Industry Tested.

"Oh that mine adversary would write him
book, then would have him. "-Shakespeare.
We have been hearing repetitions Of
Mr.. Koehler's talk and threats for the
past two years. But at last he has put
himself in print. We propose to reply
to his effusion in detail and continue the
same from time to time until the sub
ject is exhausted.
For the first text we quote:
"When we are able to find skilled
labor here to answer our purpose, we
always give 1t the preference"
Let us look over this sentence. In the
first place who are the "wew The st.
Louis heads who control the affairs
Next, IL we admit for sake of argument,
this be so, then the reason given for i'm
porting Mr.. Koehler from St. Louis must
be that there were no competent book
keepers to be found In this city. Insult
to the bookkeepers of San Antonio.
The cut stone foundations for the en-
gines were imported about the same
time as Mr.. Koehler from st. Louis.
Why was the stone cut there and freight
paid on them here? Because there were
no skilled stone cutters to be found
here? Ridiculous! San Antonio me-
chanics afterwards had to replace the
stone with others cut here.
Every wagon, large and small, had to
be imported. The reason for this then
must be that there was no skilled labor
to be found here to answer the purpose.
Can this be so? Stand up, wagon max
ers Of San Antonio. and say If this is q
slur on your ability and good sense.
Every steam boiler on the premises
was imported, Why? Because no
skilled labor could be had here to an
swer the purpose? Absurd. Before the
last imported boiler was ordered 1t ia not
the fact that Texas boiler makers, and
also residents Of San Antonio, offered to
make that boilerP But did Mr.. Koehler
give them the boiler to build? No. 1t
was imported.
There was a chance to help in build
ing up and starting a boiler shop here.
But no skilled labor could be found here
to answer the purpose. Bah! He was
too busy trying to paralyze friendly
home Industries to even give any con-
sideration to the good effects to be had
by the starting Of an enterprise Of that
kind here. j. II. SMYE,
Manager Alamo Ice Co.,
And Friend Of all Home Industries.

Takes 1t a Third Time.

Pressure upon our space yesterday
prevented due notice Of the lat Bel
KNAPP rifles medal drill, which occurred
on Monday evening. About 20 men were
in line, and Capt. Green and Lieuts.
Richardson and Tobin were the Judges.
A very fine drill was put up, but one by
one the men made mistakes and dropped
from the ranks. At length four men
John kissing, w. p. Rote, Geo. Hines,
and G. Baker-were left standing. Then
Baker fell out, Hines retired to keep him
company, and 1t was nip and tuck when
Rote made an error and left John Kiss
ling for the third time winner of the
company medal. 1t is, however, neces-
sary for kissing to win the medal for
three successive times before he be-
comes absolute owner OF the medal.

A Healthy Body and a clear Head.

Liar and Murderer.

Francisco Mondragon has denied that
he had any completely in Arresuris'
death, and reported that he was shot in
attempting to escape. Consul Linn's re-
port proves that he is liar as we'll as a
murderer. Mr.. Linn proved by Fran
cisco La Grange that Mondragon had
said that he had ordered Arresuris to be
taken from the Jail and shot. The dead
body Of Arresuris was exhumed at the
request Of Consul Linn, on behalf Of the
murdered mans mother, and what did
they find. This: That he had been
buried without coffin; that the de-
ceased's hands were pinioned by his
side, and that his eyes were blinded by a
towel. This poor mute witness tells the
story plainly. 1t is simply this: That
the orders given by Mondragon had been
carried out, and that the story of Are
suris' attempt at escape was a deliber-
ate lie told by Mondragon and his COM
pany to conceal their cowardly murder.

How 1t Stands.

The dudes, who claimed to be in
censed at the action of the LIGHT in ex-
posing their idiosynorscies, proposed to
bring up series Of soathing resolutions
against the LIGHT, which it is said were
prepared by one of the reporters on a
contemporary at the last business meet
ing Of the San Antonio Rifles, but they
found that the sentiment of the vast ma
jority of the members was against such
foOlishness, and they really abstained.
The many sensible members of the CON-
pany recognize the fact that whilst the
LIGHT has passed deserved strictness up
on certain members of the company, ii
has only good feelings towards the San
Antonio Rifles and wishes it at all times
the success it deserves.
