It Will be Thus,

While every city that will be a
member of the Texas Baseball
league has arranged for a manager
for next season, San Antonio has
done nothing as yet. 1t seems
that nothing will be done until the

and good team, everybody will
howl and wonder why San Anto-
Mo can't win a game.

rooms in hotels and private board
ing houses as we'll as in residences
which have been occupied by con-
sumptives after they have vacated
the premises and before these
rooms are again occupied by others.

duty of our board of health to take
all necessary precautions to pre-
vent the spreading Of any disease
which can be transmitted by in

THE STANFORD MILLIONS.
Judge Mckissick's Argument I'm the
Appeal Completed.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. s-Judge L. ID.
McKissick, special counsel for the Univer-
sity in it's ifteeA-million-dollar suit
against Mrs. Jane l.. Stanford, has COM
pleted his argument and brief for the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals. If the gov
ernment wins the suit 1t will in no manner
interfere with the bequest Of Governor
Stanford to the Leland Stanford. jr., Univer-
sity. for Mrs. Stanford will still have an es-
tate from $5,OOO00o to ss.0OOooo. The gov
ernment suit was originally filed on March
15 and. after an argument, United States
Circuit Judge Ross sustained the defense's 8
demurrer TO the complaint, and there Is now
an appeal from Judge Rosss decision.
Judge McKissick's argument and brief con-
trovert every proposition enunciated by
Judge Ross, and cites opinions In the Su-
prerne Court of the United States in sup
port OF every position assumed by the gov
ernment. 1t is particularly set forth that
Judge Ross erred in his Interpretation of
the contract between complainants and the
railroad corporation, and in following the
loose dictunP of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia. The theory held by Judge Ross was
that there was no precision OF lew under
which the plaintiff could recover.

bound passenger train the Cherokee
branch of the Memphis railroad were OBJ
tained to-day. Twenty persons were more
or less hurt. The wreck occurred at light
ming creek, about a mile west of Monmouth,
and was caused by the breaking of an axle
on the rear coach. The breakdown occurred
at a point 400 feet from the bridge. The
car broke loose from the train after being
dragged 200 feet and rolled over into the
ditch, which was filled with backwater
from the creek. The accident caused the
other cars to pitch and rock so badly that
when the bridge was reached the baggage
car struck the side timbers of the bridge
and caused the whole structure to give way,
thus precipitating all the other cars into
the stream below, which is swollen from
recent rains. The front coach followed the
baggage car into the stream and rested
partly upon the baggage car. which kept
1t from sinking into the water. The smok-
ing car turned completely over and is now
lying bottom-up in the creek. The passen-
