EAST LAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
Getting the Popular Outing Resort Ready for
 the Public,

A visit to East Lake, the famous pleas- ure resort, by one acquainted with the place will show decided improvements going on there. The boat and bath houses have been thoroughly overhauled and neatly painted, the boats have been scraped and painted bright colors and the grounds are being made ready for rare and lovely plants, all of which will greatly enhance the natural beauty of the situation.
 The greatest change, however, Is in and about the pavilion. The rooms at the west end of the building have bsen torn out and a large stage the entire width of the structure and % feet deep has been put there instead. This stage will be used for performances, a number of which will be given by competent com panies during the season, and on Sun days the local band will be heard there on.
 Superintendent J. B. McClary and Man. ager Morton are making complete transformation of the grounds. and when thrown open to the public Sunday the change will be noticed and no doubt pleasantly commented upon.
 Prof. Henri Weber's newly organized brass and reed band will render for the first time his latest composition, enti- tied "Remembrauces of Mardi Gras," at the grand concert of the union musicians, to be given at East Lake Sunday, March 29, at 2:3O p. m.

What the People Are Saying.

What the People Are Saying.
The under current of opinion, with
the great mass of our good citizens,
is decidedly ayerse to the local polit-
ical combinations.
1t is a great mistake that the ma
nipulators of local tickets make, that
the intelligent, responsible voter is
not to be considered-and only the ig-
norant, irresponsible voters, to be Sc
cured in order to win success.
There was time when the Next
can vote could be colonized in our
county and voted as a solid mass, suf-
ficient to turn the election. especially
when the American and German
vote were divided The colonized
Mexican tramp vote is still relied on
to perpetuate professional office-hold-
ers in office.
But today it is only necessary for
intelligent, taxpaying voters The
BeXar county to understand that the
ignorant, irresponsible voters are to
be used on election day to control the
ballot box, in order to bring every
true citizen together to down the
thing.
n For years our county elections have
been manipulated so as to down the
intelligent taxpaying voters. The
Mexican voter has been chiefly relied
on. The citizen making mill is put
to grinding and it is stated upon good
authority that there have been issued
over $1,000 intention papers to tran
sient MeXicans. .
OF our resident, native Texas Next
can people nothing can be said derog-
atory of their citizenship. except
that they do not do their duty when
they countenance the wholesale use
of ignorant tramp MeXicans from over
the border, to control our elections.
This ''intentioR paper" business is
an outrage upon all good citizenship.

ONE OF THE GREAT SUCCESSES
OF THE DAY.


During a recent interview with the
manufacturers of Battle Ak" Plug
Tobacco they said they had been am
ply repaid for the enormous amount
of money which they have spent for
newspaper advertising by a wonder
full increase Of business. They claim
they have had an excellent Oppor-
nifty to test the advantage of news
paper advertising, because ever since
they stated, manufacturers of other
brands of plug tobaccos who have for
years made enormous profits by Civ
ing to the consumers a small piece OF
tobacco no better than Battle Ak"
Immediately recognized the fact that
on account of the superior quality
and liberal sized piece of Battle
Az" their businesses were in great
danger of being curtailed. In their
endeavor to prevent this they waged
bitter war against the manufacturers
of Battle AK and resorted to meth
DDS of all kinds which seem question
able to business men who possess a
higher sense of honor and fair deal
ing. Notwithstanding all this hand
leap. the manufacturers of Battle
Az" through the medium of their
newspaper advertisements, We're able
to tell the consumers of the high
grade and fine quality of Battle AK"
and the great economy derived from
using it. until today Battle AK" is
pronounced by all the greatest sue
cess on the market and more pounds
of it are sold than of any other brand
of plug tobacco. SO much for news

TRAPPED QUAIL.

One of our Houston street game

morning from n cOuntryman. and the
quail proved to have been killed by
other ways than with shot. There
was not a shot mark on them. Fur
Their, on each one wing had been clip
ped, showing cOnclusively that the
birds had been trapped previously to
the opening of the season and penned
up as in poultry yard, the wing
being clipped to prevent them flying.
A detective has been employed by
our local sportsmen to ascertain who
the quail trapper is.

have no political rights-left alone
here. they would never dream of vOt-
ing or applying for citizenship.
Our naturalization law is grossly
criminally violated by the admission
of this floating Mexican population
to the right of franchise. The rights
of every bona fide citizen are destroy
ed by the admission of these people to
the ballot box.
AS long as a set of scheming unscru-
pulOus office-holders are permitted to
stay in office by the help of this lille
gal ignorant corrupt mass of voters
we may expect that all decency in To-
cal politics will be set at defiance.
49,
There are two ways to remedy this
great sham, one is through the
courts and the legislature, the other
is by the good people massing them
selves and Over-powering the men
who use these people at the ballot
box.
Any attempt to use public patron
age, or the public funds to mass vot-
ers in the coming election will bring
our people together with a fierce de-
termination to put an end to personal
politics.
In this crisis our good citizens
should not hesitate to make any sac
rfice needed. Let the Republican
ticket be filled out and offered as a re-
lief.
