No Changes as Yet,

Nothing new has as yet trans
pired on the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway since the ar
rival Of Mr.. f. ]. Martin, the new
general freight and passenger
agent Of the road. Mr.. Martin says
he cannot say as yet what changes

To the San Antonio LIGHT:t
knowing that you're paper3 de-
sires to be correct, permit me to
state that it is not so that Mr.. j,
\. Groesbeck has been withdrawn
from the committee of % In order
to prepare for trial on his indict-
ment, as is being rumored around
town. On the citation issued by
District Clerk Umscheid against
City Marshall Druse, his is the
18th Cor supersticiOusly termed
unlucky number) name.
| also think Attorney Haltom
ought not to be criticised too
severely for accepting-if he does
pay for his services, to inaugur-
ate a Sunday drought in San An
tonic; lawyers ought not to be
blamed for taking any kind, even
the worst of clients; it is from
them they make their living. The
rumOr this morning that our 20
committee would appeal to United
States Commissioner Price for an
Injunction on the 81 Worlds fair
directors, who decided on Sunday
opening against a good minority,
(3O) that the Worlds exposition be
closed, is likewise wrong. Your
ticket upon the removal of our eff
ficient officers also needs revising;
one of your aldermen-at-large
would make a better dog catcher.
You ought to draw the public
mind to the fact that the most in
consistent men living today in
San Antonio, are these self consti-
tuted, female suffrage, prohibition,
of some law breaking,clamOrOus for
law enforcement committee.
Sheriff Campbell and Marshall
Druse are faithful and cOnscien-
cious Ot1icers,they work competent
ly throughout the week and the
is denied them; on that
day they are to be dOubly worked,
as spies infOrmers, and as servants
for the strife stirrers, .notwith-
standing they have done full
weeks duty before the 1st day of
the week begins again.
L would also ASK whether MT.
Pinson, who wrote a very able ar
ticle on Sunday closing, lately, is
that minister of the gospel whom
Sam Jones held partly responsible
for the state of affairs in San An
tonic, now existing, by saying that
our preachers did not know how to
preach, and forced people outside
of the churches; or if he is the son
of Israelites, who he fairly defends?
We all know how some of our best
people got their names, years ago |
the son Of Adam was made
an AdamsOn, of Malcolm a NAL
cOlmson; of a Levy, a Levyson,
ETC., hence the son of a Pin would
become a Pinson, but whether he
is Jew or Protestant, it must be
that he strives to be fair
and vented his shafts of anger only
against the liquor dealers; why he
forgot to include state witnesses or
even felons, is more than can be
By A CATHOLIC.

Another Convention to BE Held at Sallns

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 11.-As result
of the irrigation convention in session
this week ut Great Bend second con-
yention has been called to meet in Sa.
lima September 20, for further consid-
Grafton of the subject. The meeting ut
Salina will be an Interstate conven-
ton, and more general in its scope than
the one just closed. Secretary Mohler,
of the state board of agriculture, says
the interstate meeting is called because
there is an arid district extending from
the Gulf to the British possessions on
the north, and this is the district
that the residents of the western
part of this state as. well as the
citizens of Texas, Nebraska, Okla
homa and the Dakotas want the United
States congress to experiment with. II
believe" says Secretary Mohler, that
by combined efforts it can be more
easily accomplished. All that people
want congress to do is the experimental
work ut the expense of the federal gov
ernment, and if it is found practicable.
then the states will get needed legisla-
ton If this district could get suitable
moisture it would produce the greatest
crops of any country on the globe, and
and it is therefore, worth the while
and expense of experiments. The con-
vention appointed committee to get
up circular letter which will be sent
to every county of these states and ask
that each send three delegates to the
Salina convention, and am sure that
great results will be accomplished"

less than lotteries, in which all the
chances are against the investors. They
will be pursued without mercy.
