leaned over and snatched the pipe from
his mouth and threw il out of the win
dow. The travelling man was at a
white heat with rage, and. turning
around, grabbed the poodle and chucked
it out of the window. Then she went
on the warpath. She declared that she
would have him arrested at Talmcge,
where, she said, she knew everybody,
and he said if she did he would have
her arrested for stealing his pipe. The
argument was hot and heavy. and when
they got off the train they rustled
around for the town marshal, and final
ly found him, and were telling their
troubles when the poodle came running
up the track with the pipe in its mouth"

Joe Teahou, travelling passenger agent

we were approaching Talmage the
other day a lady with poodle dog came
into the smoker. A travelling man called
her attention TO the character of the
car, and told her she had better 60 into
one of the others. She declared that
she was going to remain right there,
and she told him he must not light and
smoke the pipe he was filing with
tobacco. He opened the window and
calmly lit his pipe. and was putting
away when she again demanded that he
desist. He again told her that she
could go into one of the rear ears. 1t

ROBBER CHIEF, OF AUSTIN

Robert Schieffer went into City
Marshal Shardein's office in the city
hall yesterday afternoon, took a seat
by the captains side and asked for
paper, sying: I'm the robber chief,
of Austin
The captain put him down as being
drunk and crazy and called Officer
Mitchell to arrest him, when he de-
cIared that he was the attorney gen.
eral and that he was going up to the
mayor to report Captain Shardein.
The recorder fined him s. this morn
ing.
He did not appear to be exactly
right in his actions and may possibly
be insane.

The more the people discuss the pub
lie market proposition, the more favor.
ably the enterprise is regarded.
1t was naturally to be supposed that
the rivalry of different sections of the
city would produce opposition because
the people living in one section think
they are entitled to as much favor as
the people living in other sections.
Had the property owners on the east
side of the river entered into cOmpe-
tition for market and put up bonus
equal to that subscribed by the proper
would be more reason in the opposi-
ton.
The butchers themselves will see the
great advantage of a central public
market, equipped with ample cold
storage facilities, water, light and po-
lice regulations.
The butchers and fish and game
stores now occupying buildings in bus
mess blocks must realize that their
tenure is uncertain, as new buildings
are erected and rents advance.
To maintain butcher shop today on
Commerce or Houston streets requires
a large rental and heavy expenditures;
rents will increase so that the butcher
will he driven to the suburbs, unless
the city comes to his rescue.
The very comOdities of meat, fish,
game, vegetables require separate
quarter from dry goods, banks, and
other bushes establishments.
The building of public market does
not necessarily do away with the pow
er of the city to grant permits outside
the public market.
The old market on Market street
now abandoned, was especially sci
aside for market house; the property
is quite ample for small market TO-
day, having been dedicated for market
purposes. there has been some question
whether the property could be sold OF
used by the city for any other purpose
unless the city furnished puDilc
market on some other site.
Paschal square is one of the most
ample and suitable sites for market
in the city-such a site could not DC
purchased in other business quarters
for 100000. 1t is now utilized as
country market place.
Let every interest be Thoroughly
consulted and we feel confident the
new market will be a popular insutu
ton.

treaty will never be presented, and
our intelligent senators in Hawaii
who ratified it in four hours will find
themselves in very unenviable
