the purpose of estimating attendance,
securing proper accommodations and ar
ranging adequate transportation, 1t Is
requested that all delegates be appointed
prior to October 20, and that by that date
this Office be supplied by all appointing
powers with full list of names of dele
gates commissioned by them. Many PISS
senger agents have already notified this
office of their hearty cooperation, and it
is safely asserted that low rates of trans
portation will be given from every state
and territory.
The purpose of this convention is to
secure the united and harmonious action
of all the southern states in the matter of
"added population and capital for the
SOUTH" the arrangement of railroad rates,
establishment of general offices at promi-
Rent points, and that, through mutual
action and the aid of all the southern
states, bureau of immigration may be
formed with a width of influence that will
reach the utmost confines of civilization
So important will be the influence of this
convention upon the prosperity and
growth of the south that 1t should impel
every official to whom this call is directed
to take such prompt and effective action
as will result in grand and influential
convention.

also took up $35,037 collateral held by
Blsnkenship & Blake, and these we're the
only two who had refused their request to
exchange notes. And We are now posi-
lively informed by the exchange that there
is only one small batch of notes, amount
ing only to $4,000, that is beyond their
immediate reach; the balance are sll where
they can be returned TO their makers as
soon as their Indebtedness against them is
paid. We designate such articles as
cowardly, portion of them because they
appear over nom de Ilumes, and further
because they are replete with insinuations,
inuendoes and vague hints at the business
of the exchange and the character of its
manager. We deprecate this, as con-
trary to the principles of our
order, because, IS above stated, the
exchange has ever been open for
investigation and examination to any
officer or member of the Alliance, and it
should not have, and has not, any right to
publish its business to others, constituting
the world at large. Its manager has never
had direct charge brought against him,
and this method of persecution places
him in a position that he cannot bring a
defense because there is no specific
charge. 1t is, therefore, contrary to the
spirit and teaching of our order, and
should be resented by every member as a
direct insult to the brotherhood.

any responsibility for any utterance or
sentiment OF said paper, and declare that
its recent Issues in regard to

wise express the sentiments of this

responsible for its utterances as an official

of the State Alliance, or as in any way
compromising or effecting the business
relations of the order, nor will we be in
any way responsible for its utterances I'M

HON. R. @. MILLS.
A Grand Reception to be Given
Him at Waco.

On October l the congressional con-
vention for the Ninth congressional dis
trict meets in Waco to renominate the
Hon. R. Q. Mills. The national executive
committee has demanded so much of his
time in the doubtful states that he will
have little opportunity to canvass his
own district. 1t is, therefore, desirable
that every facility be given the democ-
racy of the district TO meet and hear
him. With this view, as well as to give a
reception worthy of the man the citizens
of Waco have determined to extend an in
vitation to the democrats OF Texas gem
orally and the Ninth congressional dis
trict in particular, without regard to past
differences, to partake of her hospitality
at a grand barbecue and basket dinner.
The democratic club of Austin and the
clubs throughout the county are earnestly
invited to attend.
It is also proposed to have a grand
parade, to be participated in by all attend
ing clubs and democrats. To facilitate
the formation of the procession, all clubs
are requested to notify Ed. B. Levy, Waco,
of their intention to participate, and
county delegations are also requested to
arrange before coming, so upon arrival
their commanding officer may receive his
instructions from the marshal who will
form the procession.
The following well known gentlemen
compose the committee having the affair
in charge, and it goes without saying that
it will be brilliant in all its details: W. s.
Baker, D. L. Hirshfeld, j. Il, Elgip, r. B.
Parrot; Jno. +. Flint, secretary.

NEW INDICTMENTS.
More Work of the Fertile Brain OF
Mr.. Taylor.

AoJ AVIS
Three more complaints were lodged
against the slick Mr.. Taylor yesterday,
making ten and very distinct indictments
against him.
He was hauled up before Justice CAL
houn, where, with majestic wave of his
hand, having previously dotted his silk hat,
he waived examination and was then
waited back to the seclusion of his cell,
taking with him his silk hat.
His bond in nine cases was fixed at 5000
each, making his total bond $500, which
he has failed to give.
By the way, the slick Mr.. Taylor took
great pride in that silk hat, and while off
on trip wrote Doctor Rainey that it had a
telling effect wherever he went.
Yesterday another forgery was dis
covered, which, for unblushing cheek, caps
the climax.
Along about the first of the month the
slick Mr.. Taylor and his silk hat ap-
preached several we'll known citizens and
business men with a subscription list,
setting forth that the money donated was
for blind graduate of the institute who
desired to start a broom factory here,
The list was headed by Doctor Rainey, who
had an exceedingly liberal paid-up sum
opposite his name.
Other names, of conrse, were added, and
the slick Mr.. Taylor and his silk hat
secured quite sum of money.
The whole thing was fraud, and could
only have been conceived in the fertile
brain of the slick Mr.. Taylor, and under
his silk hat.

MORE COMPLAINTS.
Troubles Pillng Up for the Fly
Young Man.

OuuS Hull
Six more complaints we're filed against
R. F. Taylor yesterday, and, if all signs
don't ilcontinently fail, Mr.. Taylor is
going to be put to his wits end 10 keep
from going to the states prison.
The evidence against him is exceedingly
damaging, and, to add to the enormity of
his crimes, it has been revealed
that he cruelty imposed upon
the innocent and guileless reporter of this
paper, whose pious training and lamb-like
disposition has kept him from becoming
acquainted with the ways that are dark
and things that are crooked in this wicked
world.
That fattering notice given in these
columns, announcing Mr.. Taylor's good
fortune in receiving bequest of $4,000,
was sent to the reporter with private
note purporting to have been written by
DR.. Ralney, and signed by him, request
ing that the notice be published
Just as written.
That note was forgery; Doctor Rainey
| never wrote it.
The immaculate Mr.. Taylor also forged
Doctor Rainey's name to note to Nj.
Paggi, recommending Mr.. Taylor and
| guaranteeing lue pdymeuV VI tue prlCe VI
buggy.
He got the buggy, and then on asimilar
forged instrument to Mr.. Marks he pro-
cured horse to work in it.
Sly Mr.. Tay lor; buggy without horse
was of no use.
Then, again, having his hand in and
needing some iewelry to set off his toggery,
he kindly signed Doctor Rainey Is
name to note to Mr.. Mayer, the
popular jeweler, on which ne obtaine ed
the much needed articles.
1t is but justice to the dextrous and
nimble pen singer to say that, as soon as
he comfortably secured the needtul by
fictitious sales of furniture to the Blind
institute, he paid for the buggy, horse and
jewelry.
The crime of crimes, however, was his
imposition upon the meek and innocent
of the worlds ways reporter, as recited in
the foregoing.
Such deception shows depraved and
wicked heart.
1t is current that Mr.. Taylor was to
marry soon.
| 1t is certain that he handsomely fur
nished a couple of rooms some time back,
and gave out that he was to be spliced
| soon.

SOMEWHAT EXAGGERATED.
Two Hundred Men Promptly or
the Ground-All Quiet.

That Rio Grande trouble was grieyously
pulled up, but to satisfy the clamor and
to be on the safe side like prudent man
should be, Governor Ross very promptly
had 200 armed men on the ground, as
follows:
Captain Brito, of Cameron county, ~
men. Sheriff Darrity, Of Hidalgo county,
so men, and Sheriff McDermott, of Zapata
county, 80 men.
He asked for no assistance from Uncle
Sam, feeling perfectly able to cope with
the difficulty or any other which may
arise, with the power of the state alone.
The telegram published below shows
that the force of men mentioned in the
foregoing reached Rio Grande City Tues
day night, and, when it is remembered
that they were only ordered out Monday,
their promptness is to be highly com
mended.
THE DISPATCH.
The following from Ringgold barracks
September &c, was received September p
at San Antonio, and copy sent yesterday
to Governor Ross. 1t is in answer to a
dispatch from the war department:
dispatch of yesterday just received. [

NUMBER FIVE

Evening Concerts.
The fifth concert of the summer even
ing series given by the Austin Musical
Union took place last evening, at the hall
of the Union. 1t is no reflection upon
prece ding entertainments to say that
each successive one has been better than
the last. The first was excellent, and, if
gradations of improvement are allowable
from that standard at beginning, they
must be admitted to these summer even
ing concerts, and the one of last night
was most highly enjoyable from begin
ming to end. There was such uniform
excellence that to mention any number
particularly wonld be to make an in
vidous distinction. The programme fol-
lowing speaks for itself:

PRECAUTIONARY.
The Trustees Close the South
Austin School.

Tuesday evening the little son of Mr..
Eek died of diphtheria.
He had been attending the South Austin
school, and was in his place all day Friday.
Tuesday little girl, pupil of the same
school, was sent home suffering with sore
throat aud with high fever, and yeste--
day the trustees were informed she had
the diphtheria.
Wednesday over half dozen children
were complaining of sore throats, and
yesterday morning, out of an attendance
of over fifty scholars, only twelve an
swered to their names at roll call. Of the
absent ones only five were reported slcK'
and of these only one had diphtheris. Inc
other four, however, had sore throats. Inc
other absent scholars had been kept az
home by their parents through fear.
Under the circumstances the trustees
deemed it best to close the school.

found the $50 gold piece.
1t was strange, for just previous
10 marching Pearl to the
station they had examined her room and
carefully turned up the mattresses and
found nothing.
Now the coin was found exactly where
no coin was when the first search was
made.
How did it get there? Pearl was in the
lookup and she didn't place it there.
The officers have their opinion and it is
very vivid one. Indeed, it is.
They returned the money to the rural
rooster, Who was greatly rejoiced thereat.

DREADFULLY KARIN"
The Rio Grande City War an In
glorious Failure.

The last reports from Rio Grande City
said everything was "karm," and the sue
culent tamale and the peppery chile was
being dished out to the hungry multitude
as peacefully as if nothing out of the
usual order ha happened.
No doubt, however, in the deep under
current of public feeling much regret
is felt over the fact that some half
dozen men we're not strung up to be gazed
at by the population.
The drama was not com plete without it..
In short, it was very stale affair. So
much So, that the governor last night Or
dered the sheriffs and their posses back
home.
Everything has been smoothed over, and
the world can calmly await another scene
at some other point along the Mexican
border. without something of the sort
the people along that frontier would not
be happy and contented.

Deaths Work.

Tuesday night, at o'clock, little Harry
B. Eek, aged years and months, the
bright little son of Mr.. and Mrs. b. l..
Eek, died of diphtheria. He was stricken
with the dread disease sometime Monday,
and, in spite of medical skill and tender
nursing, he passed away in very brief
time. He was an affectionate and intelll-
gent little boy, and his death was a terri
BILE blow to his devoted parents. His
remains were inferred in the city cemetery
last afternoon.
