The Reunion,

THIS letter is being circulated today among
the citizens, to whom 1t is addressed:
ITO the Whole and Retail Merchants of
the City OF San Antonio:
GENTLEIEN; Owing to our inability to
procure ID sufficient supply OF beef cattle for
the barbecue and reunion by dOnat ons, we
will probably be compelled to purchase. In
order to meet this difficulty we will have to
use the funds set aside for the purchase OF
b ICON. as we hal been led TO believe there
would be no d,tnculty in getting all the beef
cattle reeded free of cost. except freight.
We now appeal to you to help us out with
donations of bacon. II each firm will cont!'i-
butte few sides it will greatly relieve your
committee.
Mr.. Herman Wagenfuhr is our agent for
the collection OF donations.

THE WOOL TRADE.

A Securing Mil Proposed for San
Antonio--Its Advantages.
An attempt is being made to estab-
lish a wool securing establishment in
this city, owned and controlled by
wool growers of this section, and now
an excellent opportunity is offered for
one gentleman Interested in the trade
offers to give a suitable site on the
San Antonio river well adopted for
this purpose, and will take value in
stock, and northern scourer offers to
teach the manager selected one of the
best, cheapest and most practical
system of wool securing. This means
that the wool can be secured here as
well and as cheaply as it can be done
north, that the growers cannot be
swindled by alleged shrinkage, and
that he saves materially in freight,
for he only pays carriage on actual
good saleable wool, instead of paying
80 per cent more for dirt, refuse etc.
Then again these goods could be
classified here, and sold by their own
representative direct to the manufac-
turer, thus saving brokers fees, etc,
realizing better price upon the wool.
This project is a necessity, is for the
real interest of the trade, and there
fore it should command success.

Wrong Side Up,

Yesterday for the first time in the
Howard administration of the post
office United States flag was flying
in the breeze above the building, but
alas it was half mast in respect to
General Sheridan. Strange to say,
however, the flag was first placed
wrong side up, which caused by
ISLANDERS to remark. "Thats excusa-
BILE for the ordinary Cleveland demo-
crat don't know much about the ma
tional ensign" This error was pointed
out to the postmaster and it's only fair
to say that he at once had the
flag placed in a proper position.

Explanatory Card to the Public

A wrong idea having gone forth
lowing to an article going the rounds
of the press relative to the robbery of
an individual by two of my female
employees, will state that have con-
trolled and managed this theatre for
years, and will defy any one to say
that they ever lost a cent in it.
neither sanction nor countenance any
thing wrong, and I will discharge
and see justice meeted out to all evil
doors in my employ. 1 have been
many years in business in your city,
and been always strictly honorable in
all. The party making the charge
says that the money was handed to
these two (so-called) ladies by him,
and they ran away with it,"
This occurred outside of my estab-
lishment. Respectfully yours,
MAX SAMUELS,
Proprietor Fashion Theatre.
