Get Return Ticket.
SAN ANTONIO, July 1S.-Letters re-
ceived here from Henty Aunt, o we'll
known San Antonio mechanic, now
in Los Angeles, CAL, draw a deplora-
BILE picture of the industrial condition.
Wages there, he says, have dropped
until they are below living rates.
The most skilled mechanics can OBJ
tain only mere pittances and there
are three good men turned away
where one Is hired. The country is
very dead and business is at a COM
parative standstill. Many Texans
there are fiat broke and would barter
their lives for chance to get back
home. Many of them struck Los
Angeles when the boom was at it's
height, and have beeu living from
hand to mouth ever since. The letter
closes with the words: "For Gods
sake don't come to California unless
you have return ticket"

a sheriff and district attorney of
north Texas were received by Comp
troller Mccall to-day denouncing
whoever is responsible for the nom
payment of fees of sheriffs, district
clerks and district attorneys, One of
the letters stated there was dissatis-
faction and the governor and comp
troller were both to blame. While
Gov. Ross friends are busy saddling
it OH Comptroller Mccall, the latter
lays it to the finance committee of the
recent legislature, which did not take
action on the subject as proposed by
the comptroller. The annual amount
necessary to pay the above officials
in criminal proceedings is S45O, 900.
McCall's proposition was to appropri-
ate $50, 900, but as it is the officials
have to lose large per cent, paid the
banks on their dues. The governor
and comptroller are pOwerless in the
matter.

SAN ANTONIO, July 1S-The death
of a Mexican child was reported to
City Physician Brannagel this morn
ing, and, no regular physicians: hav-
ing attended the deceased, burial
certificate was withheld until an ex-
animation could be made into the
cause of death. The child was the
1-year old infant of JOSEPH Felan, on
South Pecos street. From the evil
dence Obtainable it seems the child
had been suffering with fever result
tant from teething, and had been
given some medicine by Drs. Graves
and Caruthers. Later the parents
engaged one Antonio Gulvan, who ad-
ministered some nOstrums of his own,
from which it is supposed death re-
suited. DR.. Galvan's remedies, it
seems, were largely composed of
cayenne pepper and like ingredients.
He was formerly an attache of the
Diamond Kings patent medicine
company, and has remained here
since the Kings death. A warrant
has been issued for Calvan's arrest,
who is charged with malpractice.
