THE CASH IS MISSING.
Trouble Among the Excelsior Guards
Over the Cash Account.

There seems to be some difficulty
between the members of the EX-
celsior Guards and their captain,
Robert g. Ellis, which may ter
inmate tomorrow night by the
captain rendering his resignation.
Two months ago Captain Ellis,
who is a police officer, went on
night duty, and being unable to
attend the company meetings, left
the boys in charge of one of his
lieuteuants. He squared all &C
counts, and warned the members
to attend strictly to their duties,
and see that all running expenses
were paid regularalIy.
On the first of February Ellis
went on day duty and again took
charge of the Exc elsior Guards.
At a meeting held Saturday night,
he called for reports from the
various committees, and ascer-
tanned that none of'the bills that
had accumulated during December
and January had been paid, and
that not a cent was in the treas
ury. Several dances had been
given during these months for the
benefit of the company, and wien
Mr.. Ellis asked what had become
of the receipts from these events,
no one responded, and the result
is, that the captain will, at meet
ing to be held tomorrow night,
tender his resignation. He will pay
of the Indebtedness Of the compa-
ny out Of his own pocket, having
gone security for rent, fuel, etc.
The company now owes him about
$50, which he has advanced from
time to time, and he does not
propose, as he states it, "to be in
the soup any more"

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

IsadOre Rush, the we'll known
actress, who appears here with
Roland Reed, Wednesday, Feb. Z,
is considered one of the best
dressed women on the stage. She
designs all her own garments, and
insists that the workmanship shall
be absolutely American. Her
gowns for the present season are
said to excel any Of her previous
efforts.
In the Irish Village at the
Worlds fair, among the magnificent
display Of laces was a point lace
collar valued at $3.50, which has be-
come the property of Miss Isadore
Rush, the well-knOwn actress who
will wear 1t in "DakOta" with
Roland Reed.
In the last act of dakota" Miss
1sadore Rush appears in dazzling
gown that calls forth an almost
audible ooh" from the audience
when its wearer makes her en-
trance. 1t is made of pearl bridal
satin, embroidered in silver and
gold beads and spangles. 1t
is cut with an Isabella waist,
the entire costume, in fact, be-
ing a faithful reproduction of a
court reception dress worn by
Queen Isabella.
The design was taken by Miss
Rush from an ancient and valu-
able miniature in the possession
of Tiffany, at New York.

THIRTY-FoUR TO "NAWTHIN. -
That's the Score of the Austin-San-
tone Football Game.

That's the Score of the Austin-San-
tone Football Game.
About four hundred spectators,
among them many ladies and visi-
tors from Austin, yelled themselves
hoarse at the Jockey club park last
Saturday afternoon. 1t was all on
account of the game Of Rugby foot
ball, which had been agitated by
lovers Of that sport the past week.
The teams were the Varsity, OF
Austin, and picked eleven from
San Antonio.
Over one hundred young ladies
and gentlemen from the Capital
city accompanied their team and
cheered for the boys who wore the
old-gold and white. They were
armed with tin horns and bazoos,
which were well used by the time
the game was over. San Antonio's
horns were good as new after the
game, for the admirers of the locals
had no license to blow. 1t was
out of place for San Antonio
to even mutter. The idea of allow
ing a "job lot of kickers" to come
over from Austin and "rub it in" to
San Antonio, city that is fore
most in all athletic sports of any in
Texas, by an unprecedented score
of 81 to 0, is heart-rending.
Breckenridge and Morrison, of
Austin, and Dewey, Of San An
tonic, received injuries. Bracken-
ridge was unconscious for nearly
ten minutes, and it required the
services of two able physicians to
bring him around again. The spec
tatOrs, however, cheered for the
good sport, and desired more of it,.
The teams were as follows:

friends, that should they ever
drift around Kansas City, to call

the town and treat them royalty,
and they will be wanting for moth
ing.
