an Advance on May 1.
The Philadelphia and Reading and the
Lehigh Valley Railroad companies issued
circulars in Philadelphia yesterday announc-
ing that on May 1 they would advance the
price of anthracite coal 20 cents ton for all
sizes. The Delaware Lackawanna and
Western gave notice of like advance, and
its example will be followed by the other
New York companies.
The prices after April 30 will be 81 ton
for stove, SO. for egg and chestnut, and $3.50
for CRATE. 1t is estimated that the reports
for the current month will show an output Of
5000, 900, which was about that of the same
month last year, although the sales agents
have agreed upon an output of only ., 50O,0 600.
The spring trade has been dull this year.
but all authorities agree that the stock in the
wards of the retail dealers is small.

A Fence Charged.

The power for the electric lights at Col
umbia park during the summer is supplied
from the Lakeside Electric Railway trolley.
While the lights are cut oil during the
winter season, the feed wires are left intact.
1t has been discovered that somebody cut
one of the feed wires and connected it in
such manner that the entire fence of the
park has become strongly charged. Several
men have been knocked down by shock when
they approached too close.

age, No. 203 Alamo Plaza, San Anto-
MO, Texas:
New Orleans, La, Aug. S.-The cot
ton market has been decidedly more
quiet today with little disposition
shown by brokers to do business. The
financial situation is such that brok-
ers are inclined to be conservative
and not encourage any large specula-
ton. Crop accounts continue bad but
are lost sight of for the moment,
Range of market has been Q points

points over last nights close.

THE GRAIN MARKET.
The Panicky Condition Causes Wheat
To Decline.


The Panicky Condition Causes Wheat
To Decline.
Lansom Bros grain letter byprivate
wire to the Alamo Brokerage Co.,
203 Alamo Plaza, San Antonio, Texas.
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. S.-The panicky
condition of the New York stock mar
ket, one or two local failures, and the
lack of desire to make investments
under these conditinos were apparent
ly the only influences that worked
against holders of wheat the past
week. These, however, were suffi-
cient to cause a heavy and declining
market, prices showing loss at one
time of nearly three cents from last
Saturdays close. Considerable long
wheat was liquidated on the way
down, but professionals who had been
fortunate in selling out around the
top began buying again and their
support has caused a much firmer
feeling today, and a reaction of about
IL cents from the bottom prices.
The general condition surrounding
were it not that the panicky con-
dition of the stock market and the
depression in business circles in
clined foreigners to the opinion that
perhaps they can buy our wheat
cheaper, we believe that purchases a.
round present figures would be on a
heavy scale by foreigners. As it is
they feel little nervous, lest the
break they anticipate will not materi
alize and are buying moderately.
The daily trade bulletin estimates
the stocks of . breadstuffs in
Europe and afioat decrease for the
month of July 13,400,000 bushels and
are now 100000 bu. less than Au-
gust 1895. This spoke for itself. In
the winter wheat states millers are
almost daily in this as buyers and that
too right in the midst of the harvest.
But reports indicate that there is
little wheat for milling purposes to
be had, and sparse responses of ele,
vator people to their bids corroborate
this. There are rumors that some of
the large northwestern flour mills
will shut down, but reports from that
section today say that millers cannot
supply the wants of foreigners for
-four The market closed firm &c.
higher than yesterday.

THE FORGOTTEN PLANK.
It Recites tho Fahrenheit "Crime of 1909"
and Would Remodify Our Demodified
Climate

1t Recites the Fahrenheit "Crime of 1909"
and Would Remodify Our Demodified
Climate.
By an oversight such as is sometimes
made by great body of earnest reform
ers after listening to a great grafton the
following plank was omitted from the
Chicago platform:
Second only to the crime Of 1878"
which demonetized silver in the interest
of Wall street goldbugs and Shylocks,
is the ''crlme of 1909" (which stealthily
and quietly, like the silent tread of a
blind black cat in dark alley of a dark
night, adopted the single and inhuman
standard of temperature advocated by
that cold hearted wretch Fahrenheit
tool of coal barons, cloth producing
monopolists, greedy sled and skate
makers, quack doctors and other sharks
and parasites who live off shivering
man. This heartless crime, perpetuated
by few of Europe's monopolists, has
inflicted untold misery upon millions of
human. beings. 1t has made British
America, Siberia and northern Europe
cold, barren, uninhabitable wastes and
confined population mainly to the south
ern half of the temperate zone. 1t has
caused even this inhabitable area to be
SO cold for several months of the year
that industry must be suspended and
men must wear clothing and eat great
quantities of food to keep alive, both
of which are unnatural and inhumah.
1t is responsible for the misery caused
by rheumatism, chilblains, pneumonia,
catarrh and numerous other ills. 1t is,
in fact, with the above noted exception,
the blacklist crime ever committed by
man against man.
We believe that we can, without the
aid or consent of any nation on earth, re-
store the natural freezing point of zero;
that such action would remodify our de-
modified climate and make December as
pleasant as May; that it would prac-
tically abolish ice and snow from our
land and make our great rivers and
lakes navigable the year round; that it
would cover half of our territory with
oranges, lemons and other tropical fruits
and make great peach states of Michi-
gan and Minnesota; that it would free
us from bondage to coal and lumber
trusts and clothing moibpolists and per-
NIT us to live out of doors and with the
least possible clothing; that it would
enable us to live almost without work
on the abundant fruits provided by
bountiful nature
Therefore, for these and other rea-
sons, we demand the passage of an act
lowering the freezing point from 80 de-
grees to zero, and to prevent the possibil-
ity of again raising this point we de-
mand legislation that will either Danish
to Greenland or punish with death by
freezing the descendants of the cold
hearted Fahrenheit and of his Cocoon
spirators in this crime. We also recon-
mend for careful consideration the ad-
visibility of legislation taking away
the rights of citizenship from all who
sympathize with this 200-year-old
crime, who oppose salubrious Amer
lean weather for American citizens" or
who ridicule our efforts to legislate
single handed and to raise our tempera-
ture to any point desirable. W. H.

WEST END NEWS LETTER.

West End, Aug. S.-There is some
bad and very little good news to come
from West End this week.
Another one of West Ends beauti-
full homes was destroyed by fire this
week. This time Mr.. Joe George
was the sufferer. Mr.. George is also
a great loss to West End, for his home
was one of the principal sights Of
fered to visitors.
Another piece of bad news: Mr.. F.
NJ. DOwden, the efficient and popular
superintendent of the West End
street car line. who has held that
position since the inception of that
road, has resigned his position with
the company, the resignation to take
effect at 1901 a. m. tomorrow. Mr.
DOwden will leave in a few days for
Philadelphia, where he has accepted
n travelling position with large cleo
trical firm of that city. Everybody
in West End is Macs personal
friend, and while they sincerely con-
graduate him on his good furtune
and wish him abundant success in
his new position, they are yet very
sorry indeed to. see him give up the
superintendency of the street car
line and to leave the city. 1t has not
yet been decided who will succeed
Mr.. Dowden as superintendent, but
rumOr has it that Milt Spangle, who
has been in charge of the shed for
some time, will be superintendent of
transportation, motive power, and
construction, while DR.. Moore will at
tend to the other matters.
Last Monday the San Antonio Wa
terworks company commenced laying
a four-inch pipe to West End. The
ditch has been dug as far up as the
Orphans Home and part of the pipe
has already been laid. 1t is under.
stood that the job will be finished by
| August 70.
Mrs. Dr. Landlord has returned
from visit from friends and rela
tives in Sherman.
Marshall and Chester Terrell, West
Ends two boy sportsmen and crack
shots, took trip out on the Bandera
road Friday morning and in fom
hours bagged seventy-fiye doves.
Conductor Purdy, of the street cal
line, the second oldest man in the
employ of the company, and one OF
its most efficient, will ''Tro up his jot
and go Mort" this week, he having
secured a position in Pennsylvania
with the Standard Oil company, which
is more lucrative than pulling the
cash register cord on street car.

Lack of Confidence In the Way.

The one thing that stands in the way
of revival of business of every kind is
lack Of confidence. This lack of conf
