A Useful School.

On July 18th, 1886, an industrial
school for boys and girls was orgal-
lied in this city.
The primary object contemplated in
the organization was, to help busy,
over-worked mothers to teach their
children useful and ornamental arts;
sewing, button-hole making, drawing
and calisthenics, comprise some OF the
arts taught. Lessons in morals and
etiquette are taught weekly. Since
the organization 2l1 children have
had their names enrolled on the calen-
dar, and received help and instruction
in the school. Fifteen Christian
women have served as teachers at diff
ferent times, during the WOyears just
closing.
Many kind friends have contributed
money or material to furnish the
school with necessary supplies.
All articles made by the children
are given to them for their personal
use. The superintendent and teachers
have been placed under special 0bIi-
CATION recently to Mr.. William Hol-
land. for white checked muslin
enough to make twenty-five aprons,
and also to Mrs. Allie Lewis for mate
rial for patchwork.
We need at this time II eedles,
thread, thimbles, lawn and prints,
and remind our friends to send US
contributions, directed to corner OF
Nacogdoches and Crockett streets.
The school is a benevolent enter
praise, and we are willing to receive
aid from the kind hearted and benevo-
lent who wish to help promote the
welfare and usefulness of the rising
generation. We are hoping that
some public spirited real estate owner
will give a lot and others aid to build
home for the school, after which
cooking department. will be added TO
it's curriculum. Additional improve
ments are had in contemplation. The
present corps of teachers are Mrs. M
f. Vaehon, Mrs. L. Mattox, Miss Ada
Lemmann, Miss Maud StOokey; Mrs
F. B. Davis, superintendent.

Railroad Lawsuit Racket.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The managers
of the Iowa railways are disappointed
over the decision of Judge Brewer in
the case against the Iowa Railway
Commissioners. They expected the
Judge would take stronger grounds IN
favor of the roads. The situation was
regarded so critical, that the
presidents of the western ROADS
met, but reached no con-
clusion. Chairman Pattern then
called a meeting of the western
roads for next Thursday to discuss the
complications. 1t is understood the
managers of the roads want to COM
promise with the commissioners. Al
torney General Baker, OF Iowa, con-
siders Judge Brewers decision out OF
the lines of authority and that 1t Will
be disastrous to the jobbing and
manufacturing interests OF the
state. that the commissioners would
likely disregard the injunction, and
after being fined for contempt, go
directly to the Supreme Court OF the
United State, on petition for habeas
corpus. If that course is not pursued,
it is likely that the Governor will con-
vene the legislature in an extra ses-
sion

A SaduDeath.

On Thursday Mrs. Carolus, the wife
of blacksmith residing on Cara
street, used kerosene in kindling her
fire, and left the can near by. While
she was absent her little boy, Otto,
initiating his mother, poured oil upon
the burning fire. This created flame
and explosion and the little boys
clothes caught fire. His screams
brought the mother to the rescue and
the fire was eXtinguised, but before
this could be done the poor boy was
badly burned. Everything was done
for him but he expired in great agony
yesterday and was buried this morn

when Doctors Disagree :"

At the last meeting of the State
Pharmaceutical association, in Aus
tin, Mr.. James Kennedy, Phi. g., of
San Antonio, read an interesting pa
per upon the loco weed in which he
combatted the idea that the loco weed
was poisonous and possessed of the
miraculous properties that are pop
ularly attributed to it. Since then the
LIGHT has received a copy of another
treatise by L. E. Sayre, Phi. g., Kan
sas State University, upon the same
subject, the general tenor of it being
to support the popular idea. 1t
is well written, but his argument is
based upon statements, rumors, ETC.,
that are simply of unreliable charac-
ter, and he neither proves nor demon
strates anything. On the other hand,
Mr.. Kennedy demonstrates by analy-
sis and practical tests that the loco
weed is not poisonous, and until some
one proves in the same way that the
analysis is wrong and the tests unre-
liable, the odds must be in favor of
the Sam Antonio chemist.
