the estimate of Stewards vote very low. n
give him 1000 less on the other side n
the river than the number which the bsst
posted men there say he will get; ] pivs
him less than one.third of the vote N
Harris county, and claim for him only an
even divide with Hutcheson of the demo-
cratic vote OF the remaining couotie,
There are many VINO believe that his total
vote will reach a figure at least 2OOO
higher than have put it. But the fipule,
used are demonstrative enough.
In this calculation have estimated on
party lines, giving the republican cand.
dates the full party vote, except east Of
the river, where 1 deduct and divide 100
republicans between the two democrats
candidates.
But Colonel Brady cannot command
the full republican support, even on this
side of the river where the deep waite,
question is eliminated. There is breach
in the party, and, even though McDanis
we're to get out of the way, the wounds
would remain aud Brady's support would
be anything but hearty. On the ether
hand the man is fool who thinks that
Stewart and Hutcheson will get no re.
publican votes. They will get good
many of them. I know and can name
some of the most prominent Republicans
in this county who have Dc.
clared for Stewart, on the ground that
Brady has suddenly turned republican, in
order to get an Office.
Now to recapitulate. According to my
estimate there will be 33,500 votes pollsi
in the district as follows:
Hutchinson. ..........,...... o,l2t
Brady and Mcdaniel. ........,...,12 1925
This estimate gives Captain HutchssOn
one-half of the democratic vote on th;
side of the Trinity river, which have NJ
idea he will get, and takes 1900 repub
lican votes from the opposition candidate
east of the river.
OF course. there is nothing certain il
this world, but think when the votes ar
counted the greatest error in the fore
going estimate will be found il TIL
placing of Stewards vote very mucl
too low and Hutcheson's too high,perhaps
Outside of partisans it is generally ad
mitted that the race is between Stevar
and Brady, and this very fact is strength
ening the former every day. Democrats
while deploring the split in the party, Sc
plainly that it is either Stewart or re
publican, and they will take Stewart
There is no danger. The Post was RICH
in what it said. DEMOCRAT.

Anstin Medical Society.

The Fifth Quarterly Meeting of
Anstin Medical Society.
DR.. T. D. Wooten, president of the
Austin District Medical society, has sent
out the following, which is of interest to
doctors.
The fifth quarterly meeting of the
Austin District Medical society will be
held in Austin on Thursday, September
20, prox., at 10 o'clock a. m. You are
respectfully invited to be present and take
part in the discussions.
The following papers will be read and
discussed:
Tuberculosis of the Joints" by DR.. A,
G. Walker, of Rockdale; discussion will be
opened by DR.. T. d. Wooten.
"Puerperal Eclampsie," by DR.. W. p
Flemming, of Georgetown; discussion
opened by DR.. R. M. Swearingen.
"Dilatation Of the Heart" by DR.. John
Preston; discussion opened by DR.. j. Cum
mings.
"Acute Insanity" by DR.. A. N. Denton

of Del Vale.
Voluntary papers and reports of inter
esting cases are always in order, and will
be called for.
Officers for the ensuing year are to be
elected at this meeting of the society.
The society is now one year old, and 1t
affords the members pleasure to be able
to say that it is in hourishing condition,
and that the September meeting promises
to be larger than any of the past.
The society is growing in interest and
increasing in membership. Since the last
meeting applications from number of
prominent physicians outside of the dis
trict have been gladly received and will
be acted upon at the coming meeting.
Every regular graduate in good stard
ing, who is accessible to Austin, is entitled
to membership. The initiation fee is
$3.50.
The time has come in Texas when no
active physician can afford to remain out
side of good working society. The line
is being drawn, and even the public are
beginning to appreciate the difference be-
tween the true physician and the quack.
The former sessions of the society have
been characterized by hard work. At
this meeting the social feature is expected
to predominant. An entertainment in
honor of the societys first anniversary
will be given, during which the president
will deliver his retiring address. The in
yitation to be present is repeated. Come
and help as enjoy the pleasures and bene-
fits of the September meeting. There will
be evening and night sessions.

SOME SCIENCE
A Scarcity Of Chalk Worries the
Able Scientists.

Professor Robert T. Hill, Of the univer-
sity,is in attendance upon the Association
for the Advancement of Science now in
session at Cleveland, Ohio. He recently
read a paper before the geological section,
of which the Cleveland Leader speaks as
follows:
"One of the most interesting of the pa
pers in the section was entitled The Oc-
currence OF Chalk in the North American
Cretaceous,i and was read by Robert L.
Hill. The prevalent theory that the
American cretaceous rocks are singularly
void of extensive chalk moses was de-
MED. Extensive formations of chalk
with and without fints in both the lower
and the upper cretaceous, were described
also their metsmorphism into massive
limestones. Chemical and microscopic
analysis were given to prove these state
ments.

Mountain GRAPES.

Mr.. W. C. Smith, the "hermit of the
mountains" was in town yesterday with
samples of grapes grown on his place.
They were grown from a cutting brought
from California and were produced on
runner only year old. He has fifty
vines one year old and they produced this
year an average Of 80 pounds each; SON
few single vines had $50 pounds on them.
Mr.. Smith this year, on a very small
area, gathered over 5000 pounds of
grapes. Those brought in were very
fine table grape and he thinks they will
prove to be splendid variety for making
wine.

Look After the Roads.

If the able county commissioners can't
give the county good turnpikes, let 'em
turn their undivided attention to having
the bad places in the old roads fixed up,
The late rains, from all accounts, have
played sad havoc with all the former
"hxings." Winter will soon be here, and
the roads should be placed in good con-
dition now.

A Good Suggestion.

1t is suggested that, in laying off the
capitol grounds, it would be a great I'M
provement to widen Mesquite street TO
a width of 12O or 80 feet, SO as TO avoid
the narrow and abrupt turn at the head OF
Congress avenue. 1t would materially
i'm prove the appearance as well as con-
venience of the streets.

THE NEW CAPITOL.
State Officers Certify 1t Is Com
pleted According to Contract.


Yesterday afternoon all the papers per
tanning to the completion Of the new
capitol we're turned over to the governor
by Secretary Dickinson.
They embraced the notification from
Contractor Wilke to the capitol commits
sioners, that he has comple ted the work of
construction.
Superintendent K. L. Walker and Com
missioners Lee and McLaurin CERTIFIED
that the work is completed and in strict
accordance with the contract, plans and
specifications.
Accompanying the papers was pro-
posal from Mr.. Wilke to remove the de-
fective copper roof and put on one of the
best quality of tin, provided it would be
acceptable and the whole business be
finally wound up and paid for.
The governor will probably call a meet
ing of the capitol board to day to act
upon the matter.
