by Dr.. I. D. Wooten, the Hon. Oscar
ID. Cooper, state superintendent of
public instruction, says in regard to
his election as associate professor of
Latin in the State University: al re-
greet 70 state that the appointment
falls so far short of my expectations

was certainly fair presumption that

present honorable and better paying
position for so subordinate a place as
a mere assistant professorship at 49,

the position full professorship with
its corresponding salary.

the case of John S. Kennedy ct al. VS..

railroad property. The attorney-gen-

nor property was received for them.
Kennedy contests the states right to
intervene, but the state contends it
has the right under the charter and
privileges it granted the company, and
that it is the duty OF the attorney
general to see that constitutional and
charter provisions against fictitious in
debtedness are enforced. When the
encouragement starts off on hunt

workmen Wanted in Austin.

If all the dealers in Austin would pur-
chase their cigars here at home, the Phoenix
factory could easily employ 200 hands,
who would spend at least $500 per week,
or 100000 per annum among our mer-
chants, who would thus reap direct bene-
fit from their home purchases instead of
buying away from home and sending all
the money where the goods come from.
Better cigars than "Phenix" cannot be

Nothing as yet Mr.. Hurley was
sick in Boston the last time l heard
from him, and when he gets well he
will probably go to Europe and he will
hardly be back before the middle of
November. You saw what the papers
said about his contemplated trip. OF
course the intention is to put on cleo
trio cars, but so many and so material
changes are being made in such cars
daily it is really worth while to make
haste slowly. The Improvements in
electric motors are wonderful, and al
most every day something is added
for the better. The delay, therefore,
is good for Anstin as well as the COM
pany. You will see an electric rail-
