sands of people lose their lives that would
not be endangered if a well flushed sewer
system was in use, and cited the fearful
scourge that visited Memphis, which al
most caused the depopulation of the city,
and cost ner millions of dollars to place the
city in a healty condition.
In regard to the Cry of hard times he says
that to push public improvements at such a
time is craftsmanship. 1t serves to beget
confidence in the stability of the city and
gives employment to wage-wOrkerS at 4
time when it is most needed. The water
works. with an artesian supply and stand
pipe pressure, the city hall, the new fire
station and the Federal building should all
be under way now. None of these improve
ments would increase taxation this year or
next year, and by the time the interest is
due on the bonds the city will again be en-
joying her wonted prosperity. As far as
the waterworks are concerned enough is
paid for water from the water wagons each
month to pay all the interest on the $500, 900
plant and leave neat surplus as q nucleus
for sinking fund to pay off the
bonds at maturity. This much is as
sured with the present consumption of
water. As the city increases so
will the consumption of water increase and
the revenues swell in proportion. He as
serts the waterworks can be bonded, the
improvements made, without mill addi-
tional increase Of taxation, and artesian
water flowing from hydrant will be far
superior to the water now used from bar
res.
Col Hoxie says he is surprised at the
lack of nerve manifested by many who
should be the last to weaken, and all be-
cause temporary stringency in money
matters has occurred. He says Fort Worth
is sound as dollar. every foot of property
is worth its valuation, and this has been
demonstrated by the fact that she has been
tried in the fire and stood the test.

The opera house was packed last evening
and the S. K. Q. sign appeared; all be-
cause Bobby Gaylor had his Sport Meal
lister' on the boards. This is one Of those
farce comedies with plot, which is lost
sight of about the middle of the second act,
and the company fails to catch a glimpse
of it again until the curtain is
ABOUT to fall, on the conclusion.
1t is funny. This was attested by the
shouts of laughter that caused the five
pointed star in the center of the fan lights
to culver. Manager Greenwall will to-day
hold an auction sale at which he will offer
choice assortment of buttons OF all shapes
and sizes swept up from the floor Of the
opera house after the play.
There is really nothing in the play or
plot. 1t merely serves as vehicle for the
introduction of some clever specially work.
The people are all competent and clever.
Aside from the work of Bobby Gaylor, the
the Olympia quartette We're feat
ures deserving of special mention.
The Spanish dance in the second act
was the best vet presented, and gives her
some claim to the title of the American
Carinencita. The plantation melodies of
the Olympia quartette received the fifth
encore in the second act, while the silent
manual Of arms in the third, brought
down the house. There are some
points where improvement n-ssne
be made, but on the whole
the play is one of the most amusing on the
road. 1t ticl,les the peoples risibilities
and brings in the dollars. That is what it
was built for.

minstrels, a fairly clever company of ne
groes, hold the boards Monday; the Glenn
cnceau case follows Thursday, and Edwin
