The Clark Democratic club will
meet at the court house tonight and
it is expected that there will be
hundreds of citizens there who were
not present at the first meet
ing two weeks ago. The
club has cause to rejoice over the
great ovation our Warwick is having
in North Texas and general love
feast, and congratulatory exchanges
will be in order.
Turn Texas Loose the slogan OF
the campaign will be the motto and
the members OF the club can rejoice
that our candidate made such an
effective hit IN his interview announc.
ing his candidacy. From
all over the state
north, east, west and south, the slo-
gan has done its work and the people
who have felt the weight of Texas
tied down are rallyipg to Clark who
proposes to take from her the letters
that bind her.
One question that will probably
engage the attention of the club to.
night is the selection of a badge
for the club. We must have a
badge. We will want to attend
some CT the barbacues that will be
given by the "boys at the forks" next
spring and summer and we must have
badge.
Everybody who wants to turn
Texas loose is invited to the meeting
tonight and an opportunity will be
given for everyone to join the club.

Ala Austin Street.

Alderman Hawkins stated that
much of his time was spent in thai
locality and knew that policeman
was needed there.
The city engineer reported an es'
innate for the construction of a sewer
on Clay street, in the Fourth ward, to
be 81 ,320.
Alderman Hawkins moved that the
mayor be authorized to advertise for
bids.
Alderman Herbert offered an
amendment that the advertisement
include a sewer on Dallas street in
the Fifth ward.
After much discussion the amend
ment was withdrawn and the motion
carried.
The city attorney was granted fur.
ther time to report fully on the legal
ity of the COW ordnance.
The petition of Messrs. Ed
monds and Johnson which was re-
ferred to the city attorney was re
ported upon adversely. The report
was received and placed on file.
Alderman Willig, for the gas com
mite, reported in favor of requesting
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway to put up light at the inter
section of its road and Leila street in
Edgefeld. Received and filed.
The matter of putting water main
in Edge6eld, together with the esti
mate of the city engineer thereon was
referred to Alderman Lacy.
The report OF the city engineer as
to the construction of bridge across
Waco creek at Edgefeld was read.
Alderman Jones stated that the
proposed bridge would be too close to
the railroad to be safe, and recon-
mended that bridges be built on
South Second and South Fourth
streets.
Alderman Hawkins reported on the
matter of the obstruction of the
stress in South Waco by the property
of Judge Henry and stated that the
Judge would not likely reoede from
his position in the matter. The
city secretary read letter to Judge
Henry requesting that he donate
property necessary for the opening Of
streets in Edgefeld, or that he fix a
low price upon it, so it could be pur-
chased for that purpose.
Alderman Lacy moved that the
bridge matter be laid over till next
meeting to give time to make further
inquiry. Referred, upon motion, to
the street committee.
The city attorney stated that he
was NOT ready to report on the powder
house matter.
Alderman West moved that the
street committee be ordered to remove
the powder houses. An amendment
that this be done by the mayor and
city marshal instead Of the street COM
mittee was carried.
Alderman Lacy moved that the
city secretary be instructed to make an
estimate of sewer contracts awarded
but not built. The secretary inform
ed the council that he already had
such an estimate.
Upon motion Of Alderman West
the action heretofore taken on the
hospital resolution was reoonsidered.
A resolution was offered by Alder
man Baker that the slaughter house
nuisance be referred to the city
attorney for investigation. Adopted
Alderman Hawkins moved that the
mayor be authorize to advertise fol-
bids for sanitary sewer in the Fifth
ward to connect with Elm stree,
storm sewer.
The motion was opposed by Alder
man Lacy.
Upon motion the matter was refer
red to the city engineer for writer
report.
Council then adjourned.

all other thlugs-high as hope's grea,
throbbing star above the darkness of the
dead-the love of wife and child and
friend.
The locks of grey and growing love of
other days and half remembered things
the holding withered hands of those Who
first held his, while over dim and loving
eyes death softly presses down the lids to
rest.
