SteeI's Dangerous Veto.

GUTHRIE, o. IT., October 17.-Gov-
ernor Steel, en- route to Kingfisher to
attend G.. A. r. reunion, received
warning that he would be assassin
ated if he passed through here be-
cause of his having vetoed the bill
locating the territorial capitol at this
place. On the solicitation of his fami-
ly and friends he left the train at q
small station before reaching Okla
homa City and continued his journey
by stage. The feeling against the
governor here is very bitter, and 1t is
believed that desperate men would
have carried out the threat had not
the governor changed his route.

A FUEL FAMINE.
No Gasoline in Town-The Cause of
Its Scarcity.


For the past few weeks there was, for
all practical purposes, not one drop of
gasoline in the city. The private con-
sumers ran out of the material, the retail
merchants had run out of il and could
not get any from the wholesale firms, and
the wholesale firms themselves had none
on hand. A large number of families
who depend solely on gasoline as fuel,
were in dilemma, and offered to buy the
material at 81 per gallon, but there was
none in the city. In the early part of this
week the Waters Pierce Oil Co. received
a carload of the fuel, but that disappeared
among the impatient consumers in al
most twinkling OF the eye, and by the
time that the news spread about the city
that gasoline had arrived, there was not
a drop left to be sold.
While, of course, the carload afforded
momentary relief, il did not supply near
all of the people who depend upon this
kind of fuel. Another car, however, is
expected in by the end Of this week.
Said Mr.. Wagner. of Wagner & Chabot:-
"The famine Is still on. The car that
week has been sold long ago."
In reply to the question as to the num-
Der of gasoline stoves in use In this city,
he figured them to be about 1000 or 1900,
and the amount of gasoline used per week
at perhaps 3,0O0 gallons, or one carload. y
"The scarcity" he said, II believe is
due to the fact that car of the fuel was
lost in wreck, short time ago, and
also that there Is scarcity of the mater
ial in St. Louis"
Mr.. III. Schulsze, Jr., who deals In
the fuel and the stoves, thought
that the consumption of gasoline
of this city ran up to one anda half cars
per week. 1--WE used to have two sources
to draw our gasoline from" said he. 1.-THE
Waters Pierce Oil Company and tie Pro-
lection Company. The Protection Com
other company and it was forced to re-
tire. At that time we never had any
such famine as this, and that was through
out the heated term of the year, when
the use of gasoline was more general and
the consumption by far greater"

AMUSENIEN rs.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


"Wild Oats were sowed last night for
the last time in this city until next sea-
son when Manager Sisson says he will
come again.
Tonight, tomorrow for matinee and to-
morrow night Mr.. A. M. Palmer sends a
company TO the Grand to produce Jim,
the Penman," that, with very few eXcep-
tions, is entirely new to San Antonio
theatre goerS in this play. There Is no
play on the American stage today that is
more familiar than this one-that
tells of forger'S miSdeedS-and no other
has probably received such extended
newspaper comments. The reason there
for was obvious-old material newly but
strongly treated. And its hold upon
as ever. The acting of Charles Riegel,
who plays the part of James Ralston (the
Jim of the play) has come in for much
favorable comment. But the Nina OF this
production is new one. Louise Rial,
who was Mrs. Cornelia Opdyke in THE
Henrietta" all last year, and played that
genteel comedy part with much grace
wife. She has done well thus far-so say
the newspaper critics of New York, Bos-
ton, Washington and Baltimore; and the
pace that Agnes Booth set has
not been too fast for her. The
Captain Redwood of the company,
EDWARD IraVerS, is regular veteran
in the part, though he has not been seen
here in the play. James l.. Carhart plays
Baron fairfield, and has been doing ex
cellent work during past two years-at
first with Robson and Crane, in ''The
Henrietta" when he succeeded in push
ing that exceedingly disagreeable charac-
ter, Nicholas Van Alstyne, into prom
inence by his strong acting, and more re-
Gently with Sol. Smith Russell, in 'Poor'
Relation" His Interpretation of his part
i'm "Jim, the Penman," ought to add to
add to his reputation, for its require
ments are exactly in his line The other
characters in the drama are in capable
hands.
Manager Mullaly tells us that he has
secured the New York Opera Co., which
made such favorable impression when
last here, for Wednesday and Thursday
22d and 23d. They will appear in Girola
and Billee Taylor. They will as special
attraction give the beautiful Carmencta
dance, executed precisely as at the Stan
dard theatre in New York, and which
created such a furore. Those who have
not seen this dance should not fail TO do
so.

ROUGH ON TooTHACHE. 15c.
At Druggists.

THE Dallas Times-Herald makes
the following note concerning the
Third census district.
"The third census district of Texas,
including the counties of Collins,
Cook, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson,
Kaufman, McLennan, Navarro, Rock
wall and Tarrant, has q population of
AIS, 1892, q gain of 1874, ISL in ten years.
Dallas county leads all others, her
gain being 35,5l5. Tarrant county
follows, with 1917, and McLennan q
good third, with IL, 2o2.
The Herald is very careful not to
state the population of Dallas, and
thus refute the falsehood that San
Antonio's statement of Dallas popu-
lation was not official. This shows
Dallas the second city in the state in
population and not the first.

How to Succeed in Life.

New York Ledger.
A strong will, a patient temper and
sound common sense, when united In
the same individual, are rs good as a
fortune to their possessOr. Barring
untoward accidents, the man en-
dowed with these qualities, who
starts on his career with q determin-
alton to reach q desirable position,
does reach 1t.
Our admiration is sometimes be-
spoken for successful people, who are
said to have "leaped over every OBJ
stacle." Biographers of eminent men
are particularly fond of making their
heroes arrive at the goal OF
their hopes by this steeple-chase pro-
cess. But the truth is, that impetu-
Gus spirits who charge at every i'm
pediment in their path on the sink
or-swim, survive.or-perish plan, I'M
less favored with extraordinary luck,
are more apt to sink than swim, to
perish than survive. 1t is advisable
to go round obstacles that you might
break your neck in attempting to take
at flying leap. Policy is as neces-
sary to success, in most cases, as
energy.
When young man has made up
his mind that he will get on In life,
let him take due time to reflect on the
best means of accomplishing his OBJ
ject, and having laid down such rules
for his future conduct as his reason
and his conscience approve, let him
stick to them infiexibly. He must
forego self-indulgence where it would
be likely to interfere with bis inter-
ests; select as his friends men who
have the ability and the will to fur
ther his main design, and learn to
work perseveringly toward his object
without being discouraged by the
rude jostlings that he is pretty sure
to meet with on the road. Whoever
pursues this course is sure to be set
down by the world as man bound
to succeed-and the world seldom
makes a mistake in these matters.
Persons who are recognized by So
ciety as rising men have only them
selves to blame if they don't rise.
Unless they kick over their own dish
by some act of imprudence, their up
ward, movement is assured.

definite information of the robbery of
several passengers on the Missouri
Pacific Omaha express has been re-

within the city limits, just after the

STATISTICAL STATEMENTS EXPOSED.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir Mr.. Charles B. Murray. Editor of The Cinclh
natl Price Current" in his issue Of June %, eontro
vertng certain estimates by me regarding the cohsuhp
ton Of wheat, published table Of which the hrst
column was declared to show the population OF the
United States according TO estimates OF United states
officials A later letter by stated that the lgres
thus given did not agree at all with the estimates OF
the Treasury Department the Bureau OF Statistics
but were In fact calculated by The Cincinnati Price
Current on theory of its namely that the rate
OF increase in population is Is per cent yearly besides
immigration The correctness Of that theory was
and not under discussion but whether the hgueS
given were fraudulently called Official.
Mr.. Murray thereupon wrote claiming that MS
personal veracity and that OF his paper had been
wrongly aSsaed He invited to cite the Official
authority from whom his estimates were obtained or 10
mention in what official document they could be found
in order that justice might be done to him. In answer
Mr. Charles B. Murray sends long and abusive letter
but negccs TO state what official authority he had Tor
the figures given. Because Of the frequent attention
which certain spectators claim each year for state
ments about wheat published by The Cincinnati Price
Current it seems TO be worth while to exhibit the
facts.
In the latest statistical Abstract, Number II. pre-
pared by the Bureau Of statistics under the direction
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury Will be found on
