love our fair "Grcen Mountain" state
With all its beauty grand,
Its very name is dear to me,
But cannot understand,
In this fair prohibition state
Where laws are just and right,
Why drinks that will intoxicate
Are sold both day and night.
Even at our very door we hear
at is all right to drink,
But punish all who drunken are"
Now is this right, do you think,
In this fair prohibition state,
Where laws forbid its sale?
And If they were but put in force
The right would then prevail.

Wholesale Poisoning.

Laporte, Ind, Aug. 26.-Three
hundred persons We're poisoned while
in attendance at a Lutheran church
festival at Tracy yesterday. One
thousand communicants assembled in a
grove where services were held. AT
the conclusion of the morning service
the people gathered about the tables
for dinner. A half hour later fully
800 persons, men, women and children,
were suffering terrible agony. Entire
families succumbed to the disorder.
The grove was converted into a hospi.
tai. Beds were improvised and every
attention was given to the unfortunates.
The unusual scenes terminated the re-
ligious rites and the congregation scat
tered to their homes, where physicians
cared for the sufferers, In a number
of cases the symptoms of poisoning did
not develop until last MI hit and today
there were numerous additions to the
list.
The cause of the malady is not
known. The most widely accepted
theory is that the potatoes, which were
eaten in large quantities, were either i'm
pregnated with bug poison or were
poisoned by being cooked in copper
kettle. Others believe that the water
was polluted with some poisonous mat
ter. Physicians say that all of the
sufferers will probably recover.

not spoken in terms of praise of our last
two regattas and their attendant features
as an entertainment they would journey

in no way compare with an acquatic car
nival such as this association would give,
and there is no city ON the continent to-
day THAT has better facilities than Austin
for This entertainment.
Any city can give a fair or agricultural
exhibition, but it is not every city that
has the grand lake and dam that should
be the pride of every patriotic resident OF
our city. A gorgeous carnival held on

the press, spread the fame of Austin, her

INTERESTING MATTERS ABOUT
COMING GRAND AQUATIC
CARNIVAL.
A LETTER FROM GAUDAUR THAT
WILL BE INTERESTING.
The Regatta Headquarters Will Probably
Be Opened Up at the Driskill
This Week, When Active
Work VIII Begin.

When the big iron towers begin to cast
their shadows eastward, the average Aus
tinire seeks the vicinity of an electric fan
and after a cool "submerge" asks "WhO
pitches today" or argues the effect of
F'itzsinmons' new hook punch but yes

was the source of much comment on all
sides, which is a good indication of the
healthy interest the event is creating
Recent developments in boat racing seem

secured the best aquatic talent to partici
pate in the two former regattas has been
fully verified. An remember Fred Koenig

sweeping stroke in his light racing boat,
who last year won the Express medal

the American championship at Saratoga.

Saratoga lake, who rOwed in the dedica-
ton regatta here in 1S93-Walter, Nc
Dowell, who has host of friends here,
admirers of a thorough gentleman and a
lively Sculler. Thus it will be seen that
the two American champions have rippled
the waters of Lake Mcdonald in contests
of strength and skill, and virtually owe
their development TO Austin and the many
points given them by their professional
brothers while in training here.
A letter received here Yesterday from
j. g. Gaudaur contains the information
that in the event Of race with the Eng

property at Athcrley for a good round
