WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

| Inefe was very neaVy ram ana
wind this morning and those who
woke up in time to hear it were pref.
ty badly shaken up. The only dam
age reported was to the county Jail
and to the sewers. The damage to
the former is only slight, a cap being
taken from chimney, but the sew,
ers suffered terribly. The bucket
and mule business has been declared
off to day and the former is suspen-
ded in mid air at the crossing OF
First and College streets, while the
latter is grazing on the commons.
The sewer excavation from DR.. John
sons residence on College to several
hundred yards east of Second is a
reeking mass of mud, water and
broken stones and timbers. The
sight is sickening, and it is going to
take work to clean it up. The exca
walton east of Second street is full Of
water, and the banks occasionally
cave in with roar that reminds one
of miniature Mississippi bank cave
Like a generous sore, it is gradually
encroaching on Second street, and
unless something is done that thor
oughfare will soon be impossible.
The well that was dug in the middle
of this street is beginning TO cave in
from the bottom, the banks slough
ing off and coming closer and closer
to the top. There is little more than
enough room now for buggy to pass
and if it keeps on First street will
soon be the only one over which the
people from New Providence and
beyond can reach the city unless
they come the lower river road.

a reporter, at the risk of falling
into one of this excavations, walked
out this morning aud viewed the
wreck. 1t is bad and growing worse
all the time. The facts are plain and
speak for themselves. The sewerage
construction is a glorious failure so
far, and at the present rate spring
will flop down into the lap of sum.
mer before anything good is accom-
plished. The people living on Col
lege street are weeping tears over the
state of affairs, and when they look
ed around this morning and saw
Pete Cobb and another man with
pick on his shoulder starting in to
move the dirt and rock that have ac-
cumulated mountain high they faint
ed. There is nothing to cover up
the bad work that has been done on
the sewer system of GAINESVILLE. A
contractor who knew his business
could have laid sewer pipe in every
street in the city since the contract
was first given to Stewart & Quinn.
If the present contractors convince
the people that they know their bus
mess they will have to get a lively
move on them.

Lost Six Horses.

Mr.. Ed Watson lost horse Sun
day, being the sixth in the past few
years, and always before he has
owned them long.
The first one he had owned six
weeks when it died with the collie.
The second was used four months
when a snake bit him in the mouth
and killed him.
The third was fine saddle horse
which he rode into the city here
one day and while hitched in the
stable was kicked by another horse
getting its shoulder broken from
which 1t never recovered.
The fourth was turned in the
pasture to Craze. A limb fell off a
tree striking him on the head killing
him.
The fifth died from some unknown
cause while in the pasture,
The last of the six, which was
the one last Sunday, got tangled up
in the rope with which he was tied,
and killed himself.

Artesian Water,

Artesian water is one of the great
est things city can get for the
amount Of money it takes to secure
it. There is nothing that helps ad-
vertise a city more, than bountiful
supply of pure water at cheap water
rates, to say nothing of its condu-
ciyenesss to health, and there is no
reason in the world why Brenham
should not have all the artesian
water she needs, and the BANNER is
glad to learn that at the next meet
ing of the Board of Trade which will
probably be held Thursday, an effort
will be made to interest the Board
of Trade in a proposition that
promises to secure for the city an
artesian well.

jaw Gould's Prayer.

The following has been handed
the BANNER as Mr. T. G. Stribbling S
version of Jays Goulds prayer:
Our father who art in England,
Rothschild be thy name, thy tnan-
anclal kingdom come to America,
thy will be done in the United
States as it is in England;
Give US this day our bonds in
gold, but no silver; give US plenty
of laboring mems votes to keep
monopoly in power and their friends
in Office. We know, our father, we
have done many things that were
wrong; we know we have robbed the
honest poor and brought distress
to many door. We know it was
wrong to refund the bonds and
make them payable il coin; we know
it was wrong to demonetize silver;
we know it was wrong to water our
railroad stock, but thou knoweth we
made money by that.
Now, our father thou knowest we
are above politics. II is the same
to us whether democrats or republi-
cans rule, for thou knowest we are
able to sway all political jobs in our
favor. Lead us not into the way of
tue strikers, but deliver US from
the hands of the insane Knights of
Labor and the Farmers Alliance
Thus shall we have the kingdom,
bonds, interest, dover and gold IN
til the republic shall end.

REUNION OF WALhISR'S DIVISION.
The annual Reunion of company
E, Walkers Division of ex-confeder-
ates was held aG Zionsville-Bode's
platform-seven miles west of this
city Sunday, and was largely at

Among the speakers was Lieuten-

Judge ]. E. Shepard, of Austin, Mr..
VIM. Buscher, Judge L. Kirk, and
Judge E. P. Curry, and though we
were too late to hear speeches we

themselves creditably, their enter

The genial "Col.n Bode, who by
the way was a gallant high pri-
vate" in Walkers division, had orna-
mented the speakers stand with the
products of his farm, to which he
could we'll point with pride. The
ornamentation consisted of grape
festoons hung on some as fine sam
pies of green corD as can be found
in the county, and the grapes, they
could not be excelled this side Of
California.

afternoon, stayed to the ball at

The battle of the ballots for the
Houston Post Hamilton college
scholarship is waxing warm. The
leaders are Miss Nettie Estes, of
this city, and Miss Eugenia Brahan,
of Seguin. Miss Nettie has been
leading for several days now and
many new recruites have espoused
her cause and joined the army of
workers for her. Green's brigade
and one of the crack military COM
panies of the State, the Brennan
Light Guard are now arrayed in her
defense, besides a host of undisci-
plined scouts. Her election means
a great deal to Brennan. 1t will
not only give bright and deserv-
ing daughter of gallant con-
federate soldier, an opportunity to
get a good education, but will
crown her queen of all Texas, and
speak volumes for the enterprise of
our city in winning a victory in
which no city, save Houston, in the
great State of Texas was barred.
Only a few more days remain until
the contest will be over, and to in
sure the victory it will take unceas-
ing work and loose purse strings.
Already Brennan is recognized as
being in the fight to stay, and stay
she must until the last day and
then go, not only her length, but
her cubic measure to win.
