San Antonio Must Now Rsise a
Bonus or Loose 1t.
DR.. W. y. Kulp wants to know what
San Antonio Is going to do about his
proposition for railroad connection OF
San Antonio with the Panhandle and
thence with the Rock Island road. In
his letter he says:
"San Antonio must do her share now
or refuse to do it. Ii she does the latter
we will know just what to do. Ii the
oity does nothing now 1t will change our
entire course. 1t would hurt San Anto-
MO more than anything else just now
not to secure the road. On this railroad
movement many other San Antonio en-
terprises rest. have several manufao-
tuners about ready to visit the city and
investigate it with q view OF locating,
among the number being beet canning
and dressed beef shipping man; but un-
less San Antonio shows An intelligent
enterprise In its own best interest. II
will change our course and our iDf1u-
epce with these manufacturers"
This proposal requires the citizens to
donate 100000 worth of real estate, not
q foot OF land to be decided until the cars
run to San Antonio, and of this sum only
one-tenth has been assured to commit
tee organized for that purpose. Since
then the committee has rested, but the
chairman, Albert Maverick, says he will
call his committee together In day or
two and do all possible to raise the
money.

are excited by the harrsnsues of theii

Judgments of The rank and file will over
come their fears, and reveal to their uu.

will depend upon the question whether

USING SMOKEIN WARFARE.
An Cad but Ef'ectuaI Method for Battling the
Enemy

An Cad but Efectual Method for Battling the
Enemy.
Smoke will certainly play an imp mportant
part in the warfare of the future. Last
year at Milford Haven and this year in
LangstOne Harbor it was artifcially Great
ed in large quantities in order to form
screens behind which attacking forces
might, uRobserved, approach within
range of forts and batteries. On each Oo-
casiOn RATS laden with combustibIes were
set on fire and fioated into positions from
which the wind carried the smoke in a
more or less dense cloud in the direction
of the defense.
On the other hanG, ever since the in
PRODUCTION of the modern ordnance and
rapid rifle fire, it has been felt that the
huge volumes of smoke which would be
belched forth during battle of the pres
eut day would probably prevent the
use of dig guns to the best advantage.
Smoke, in fact, may, according TO cir
cumstances, be either a great assistance
or grave impediment in warfare. The
ideal state OF things is, of course one in
which the production of smoke shall be
controlled so that either a clear atmos-
phere or cloudy one may, as need may
arise, be created around battery or ship
in action.
This ideal has now, to some extent been
attained. 1t Is found that smoke, as 1t
issues from the muzzle of a heavy gun,
can be almost instantaneousIy preci pitat-
ed by means of a simple electric appar-
atuz. The invention is based upon the
researches of Professor TyndalI, Lord
Rayleigh and Professor Lodge in the ac-
tion of electricity upon floating dust and
vapor. and it should be of considerable
military value.

far away Maryland and Virginis. Soon
one of these Quaker women, with & lovely
countenance, who had come from the
South, and whose drab garments were of
the finest material, showing wealth, and
whose language betoksd education and
refinement, began speaking. Such
eioquence was rarely heard within these
walls. Her rich full tones made the sub
lime truths she uttered seem grand in
deed She concluded, when ST old gentle
man on the other side of the house was
moved TO deliver message. At first his
words were spoken smoothly and distinct
ly, but soon he glided into q sing song
tone, putting final ''ah'' 10 nearly every
utterance. 1t is impossible to describe
the sound or Its effect: so quaint and SO
earnest was it that all were impressed.
He finished and another grave disnified
gentleman offered up prayer and soon
the first session closed and the happy
crowd scattered away to the various farm
houses to enjoy the feast prepared for
this time. Such merry bauteripg and
Joking are seldom heard, such happy,
smiling faces ars seldom seen, and such
hospitable homes are found nowhere in
greater profusion than in q Quaker
settlement"
