LONG LIVE

The Present City Administration.
Mayor Paschal and his able CO.
helpers, the city council, are re-
deeming point after point of the
promises made during the cam
paign clatter of last election. Off
GERS are removed, to make room for
more competent and plant ones.
OF course, those removed
have given ample proof of their
incompetency, and were gently adj
vised to resign. If resignation did
not follow Immediately; snarling
fees were employed and set upon
the victim, to backbite him out of
office at a quick-step. This is a
move in the right direction, and
should be lauded by every good
citizen, as it has been by the al
dermen. AS in regard to
retrenchment, why do taxpayers
still doubt the efficacy and
good will of the administration :?
Have they not reduced the salary
of every laborer employed by the
city, at the rate of about 334%.
The next thing we will hear Of is
that every genteel laborer for the
city, from his honor, the mayor, to
the elevator boy, will have to SUBJ
nit to the same reduction. Who
laughs ? Is this not logic, not a
natural consequence or are the
hard times only to press in upon
the common people? The immense
surplus of labor creates cheap Ia
Dor, consequently one who will
and must work for a pittance to
sustain himself in employment
must accept any term just now.
But does the Mayor and the rest
of genteel laborers for the city
think that there is not just as large
a number to take their places for
much less salary as they now re-
ceive? Are they arrogant enough
to think that they cannot be re-
placed by at least just as able men
as they are? Pshaw, they know
hundreds are waiting for chance,
and as thus the reason for reduc-
ton is the same, why not reduce.

A Respected Citizen Dies.

Joseph J. Cavanaugh, aged sixty
two years, died at his residence, at
No. 22S Austin street, yesterday
afternoon, about o'clock. He has
been confined to an easy chair, af-
fiicted with chronic rheumatism,
for the past eight years. For the
past seventeen years he was a resi-
dent of San Antonio, and a wife
and nine children-five boys and
four girls-survive him. He was
well known and respected by all
who knew him. Deceased was born
in County Sligo, Ireland. The fu-
neral takes place this afternoon, at
4:3O o'clock, from the family resi-
dence,

SPIDER AND FLY.

This grand production begins a
three nights engagement and Sat
| urday matinee at the Grand opera
house tonight. The New Orleans
| Daily Item says:
Much had been promised the
theatre-going people of this city
| by the management of the spider
and Fly" combination in gorgeous
scenic effects, ballet and other
accessories to go to make up a
successful attraction.
Last night the st. Charles thea
ire was packed. In fact, the pOpu-
lar manager, Col. OzgOod, refused
to sell any more tickets at 30
O'clock. The multitude that as
sembled We're present to find out
for themselves whether these prom
ises were fulfilled. They were
faithfully kept and it can safely be
said that the Spider and Fly" has
caught the town, and is destined to
break the record from a successful
financial standpoint.
Mr.. Leavitt's attraction come to
us this season vastly improved in
scenic effect, gorgeous costumes,
shapely girls and withal good sing
ing and dancing. 1t is so con-
structed as not to offend the most
sensitive and provides unlimited
amusement.
Like nearly all spectacular bur-
lesques it is devoid of plot, but it
was not intended to convey a moral
or tell of a romance. The prime
motive of its author was to please
the eye and create merriment for
its auditors.
The company is exceptionally
large, the chorus works in harmo-
ny and the ballet and marches are
executed in the most admirable
manner. The specialties also call
for much commentator"

TWO SAD DEATHS,
A Stockman and a Little Child
Killed by the Cars.

Killed by the Cars.
James H. Combs, quite q
prominent stockman of Brackett-
vile and well known in San
Antonio, was killed near Kin
ney Station on the Southern Pa
eific west Of here yesterday morn
ing. He was standing against
fence alongside the track and as
train was coming at a rate of
thirty miles an hour, he sprang to
the track and placed his head on
the rail. The cowcatcher struck
him and crushed his skull and
death was immediate. 1t is said
that he was respondent on account
of the severe spell of drouth
which is causing his cattle to die
very rapidly. He is said to be
about So years of age and gentle
man favorably known everywhere.
His remains were taken to Del Rio.
On last Tuesday child was run
over and killed near the same place
where Mr.. Combs met his death.
The child was the 14-months-old
infant of John Coffee, section fore
man on the Southern Pacific. A
gate leading to the railway was
left open by two tramps, who had
just left the place. The little one
was playing in the yard and
finally went out of the gate.
The baby was crossing the
track when freight train came
along at a rate of twenty miles
an hour and struck the child, kill
ing it instantly. The dead child
was brought to San Antonio, ac-
companied by the mother, and ar
rived here at l :45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The scene on the ar
rival of the train here was heart
rending. The unfortunate mother
was grief stricken and could only
sob, "My child, oh, my child"

A Fierce Man.

Late last night a young man
jumped into a hack on Alamo
plaza and asked to be driven to
the residence of DR.. Braunnagel,
on Laredo street. This request
was granted. Instead of getting
out of the hack at what he sup
posed to be the Braunnagel resi-
denCe, he called loudly for the doc
tor. A moment later, a tall, ha sh
looking man named Scott stepped
out and sprang at the young fell
low with great deal of fierceness.
The hack driver interfered, and
Scott drew his knife on him. Final
ly the matter was settled by the
boy explaining that he was after
DR.. Braunnagel and that he had
been driven to the wrong place.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice authorities, but as yet no ar
rest has been made.

The People are Paying Taxes.

A comparison between the col
lection of taxes the last year, and
for five months, ending October 81,
this year shows that that the peo-
pie are paying their taxes more
promptly even during these hard
times than they did last year. For
the twelve months, from June |,
1892, to the last day of May, 1893,
the total collections amounted to
$36S,769.25. For the five months,
from June 1st to October 31st, 1913,
the total collections amount to
$342,492.66. At this rate of increase
this years income will make a
creditable showing for the coIlec-
tors office. 1t also shows that Mr.
Rische's fees are not very serious
cause for kicking.

Fever and ague. and i > congener, bilious re-

use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. a purely

more extensively used As a remedy for the above
class of disorders, As well As for many Others,
than any medicine of the age. A lanxuid cir
culation, a torpid state of the liver. a want of
vital stamina, are conditions peculiarly favpr-
able to malarial diseases. They are, however.
surely remedied by the great preventive. which.
by invigoratins the system and endowinS it with
regularity as well as sigor, provides it with
resisting power which enables il to withstand
disorders, not only of a malarial type. but a
host of others to which feeble and Ill regulated
systems are subject. The Bitter. are u safe as

superseded that dangerous drug, quinine,

This afternoon the street parade Of the
Richards circus appeared on tn streets.
but did not give promise Of a very good
performance; in fact. this parade did not
amount to much. Nevertheless. a large
crowd was in the tent when the per-
Torrance began. and it is safe to say
that few. il any,. regretted going. 1t is
an old fashioned one-ring circus. with
many short acts. following rapidly. and
may be sized up generally as a good en-.
tertainment, the bar and ring work and
tumbling being done by clever people in
bright and snowy costumes. Some Of
the riding was also first class. Another
performance will be given tonight, and
will undoubtedly be well attended.
