A LIVELY MILL.
But Police Interference, as Usual, Pre-
vented Knockout.


Sewer Inspector 7. F. Kerr and Con-
tractor Thos. Franklin, who had charge
of the contract to pipe the San Pedro
ditch on Main avenue and Main plaza,
INDUCED in rough and tumble fight at
the corner of Main avenue and Commerce
street yesterday afternoon, which for a
time afforded great amusement to
the bystanders. The quarrel arose
about some material which the
contractor had left on the block paving
and which Mr.. Kerr wanted moved in or
der to complete the laying of some of the
block paving.
After a little exchange of words the
lie was given and Mr.. Franklin struck
Mr.. Kerr in the eye. This started buzz
saw mill in the little man and quicker
than it is told both men were on the pave
ment with the little man on top and
both pounding his foe with his fists and
punching him in the abdomen with his
knee. Then the crowd rushed in and
parted the cOmbatants and Officers So
biesk put on the finishing touches by ar

TOURIST HOTEL.
Views of Practical Hotel Owner on This
Subject as Applied to San Antonio.

Subject as Applied to San Antonio.
Mr.. VIM. Paxton. a wealthy hotel man
of Omaha, Nebraska, is in the city. Mr..
Paxton is the builder of the Paxton hotel,
the great hotel of Omaha, and the owner
Of the Commercial, of the same city; the
Ogden hotel, at Ogden, Utah, and many
other like establishments in the United
States.
To a LIGHT reporter Mr.. Paxton said
that it is everywhere conceded that an
other large hotel is an imperative need of
San Antonio. He was asked on what
scale and plan should the new hotel be
built.
1T would not be advisable" he an
Swered, ito build 300 or 400 room hotel
at present, for should it not happen to
succeed, like ventures would De killed for
all future time. The correct idea would be
to build hotel of about 200 rooms, and
spend money, not so much on freSCoing
and ornamental work, as upon neat FUR
niture, bed clothes and the culinary de-
partment. Sick people should be kept out,
charges maintained at IS and $40 per day,
and service given accordingly.
Il have only one doubt about the sue
cess Of such venture. 1t would be alb
SOlutely at the mercy Of the cooks and
walters. You might send to Boston, and
get the most irreproachable chef and
the hneSt cOterle OF COOKS TO De had 1Or
money, but il they were to take a notion
to strike, your hotel would be in an I'M
fathomable hole. In the north, of course,
the chef cannot afford to get drunk
and elevate all manner of Cain. He
would be fred like streak of fabricated
lightning, and his place Immediately
filed. But down here you have to depend
on The negroes for walters and cooks, and
the negro element in San Antonio Is
hardly desirable or available for thes {
occupations"
Mr.. Paxton is acquainted with a num-
Der of hotel capitalists, and says they
would undoubtedly put up hotel here
If the citizens of San Antonio offer any
reasonable Inducements.

Little Trooper"

The Della Fox opera company drew a
night and presented the comic opera, THE
Little Trooper" in most acceptable
manner to all. The opera is bright and
very witty and while not carrying much
musical scores, the music that is given is
catchy and good. Miss Fox and her able
support throughout are faithful and
painstaking and the only regret of the
public is that but one night was given to
San Antonio.

GIudNesS Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene'
fetal effects, to note when you pur'
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, then laxa'
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slIillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satistactSoA

WEATHER NOTES.

WEATHER NOTES.
There is a slight low barometer
over Texas this morning, which is
central between San Antonio and
Palestine, which may develop
during the day, attracting the air
from the high, cool bank that is
over Nebraska, thus causing
slightly cooler weather tomorrow
night.
The weather is clear this morn
ing, except over Western Kansas,
Western Nebraska, Colorado and
Arkansas.
Light snow flurries have fallen
at the following stations: Denver,
North Platte, Kansas City and
Little Rock.
Cooler weather prevails over the
Mississippi valley and the Texas
Panhandle, while from all other
stations slightly warmer weather
is reported.
