A regiment of United States regulars
passed through town to-day on their
way to attend the dedication
drill at Auetin. Didn't learn the
name of the regiment OF commander.
The little steamer "rom Glover" is en-
route and will be here in few days. The
owner, Captain Tom Code, had an idea of
stopping it over in Austin during the
drill and let it run on the Colorado during
the encampment on the grounds, but
think now he has abandoned it and will
not stOpit off.
Capitalists and men of brains (no pau
pers, cranks or idiots wanted)
who may come to the great
dedication are most earnestly
solicited to come to San Marcos and see
our many advantages. We can offer more
genuine, solid inducements to invite
capitalists to invest in factories, ETC., than
any other town in the south; we except
none. The water power is here, and all it
needs is men of money, pluck and prog
ress to develop it into one of the best
towns in Texas. 1t will pay big per
cent to any man or stock company that
want to establish cotton factory and pa
per mill to come here before looking
elsewh' re. The material is here con-
venitnt and the expense incurred in erect
ing such an institution would be compare
lively small to what it takes in some
places. So you can just say through your
columns, that not half has yet been told of
the many advantages of San Marcos and
her river. Let the visiting capitalists come
aud be convinced. CHRISTIAN.

ST. LOUIS, May 1l.-Sixteen of Guam
trelfs old band of guerillas held a reunion
at Blue Springs, Mis souri,, day. When
the roll was called it was learned that but
seventeen of the gang than those now
present are living, among them Frank
James. Mrs. Caroline Quantrell, the
mother of the bloody outlaw and now
resident of Ohio, was present and an
swered for her son. WV. Scott, editor of
the Iron Valley Reporter, of Canal Dover,
Ohio, accompanied her with view to
gather in materlsl for startling history.
In this visit he. had plenty of Opportunity,
for the men.s spoke of their murders and
fiendish crimes without the sliuhtest
hesitancy, and as some particularly
atroclous plot was uurayelled
by good narrator, voics would break
in with correction or corroboratiou, ever
anxious to be counted as one of the raid
ers. W. H. Gregg, of Independence, Mo,
first lieutenant of the gang, was the hit h.
est officer present, and aided in MANY
"reminiscences. The war was waged over
in all its bloody fury and fiendish cruelty
as each grizzly haired man tried to excel
each other in their awful stories.
This is the first reunion of the terri
rible outlaws of over twenty years ago
that has taken place since the death of
Quantre'l in the soldiers hospital, at
Louisville, KY, June 6, 1865. All the sur.
vivers of the cruel band reside in Mis-
