titled.

The golf cap is much in use this year,
whether its wearer COLTS or not, and in
many summer places women wear the
cap all day long. The elaborate meth
DDS of hair dressing of the past season
have necessitated cutting hair into
many different lengths. At the free
and easy summer places curling irons
are almost entirely discarded and the
great question is not of good stock, but
of mere tidyness. A good sized golf
cap settles the difficulty. A really good
size means a half or three quarters size
bigger than the biggest hat you usually
wear. Such cap will set down well

with the completion of the Trans
Siberian railroad, four or five years
hence, and the consequent opening of
a vast area Of territory adapted to
wheat growing, it is probable that AM
erica will have a new competitor in
the grain trade Of the world To ascer-
tain what we may have to expect in
that direction, Secretary Wilson has
arranged to send two agricultural ex-
perts to Siberia to Investigate the con-
ditions there and report on the probable
effects of the railroad enterprise upon
American interests. The result Of this
inquiry will be valuable, and instruc-
tive.

The Jesuit missions in Alaska, says
the Baltimore News, are in luck, as
they are in the very heart of the gold
region. The land consists of about
three acres, which was purchased by
the head of the mission, the Rev Will
liam H. Judge, few years ago for a
church, school and graveyard. It is in
the richest part Of the Klondike region,
and, provided some one does not jump
the Jesuit claim, the returns should be
large. The Jesuits, however, are men
of peace, and are hardly strong enough

rights In case an effort should be made

A leading English paper is discussing
the question whether or not it is posi-
BILE that the effect of mosquito bites
on certain persons renders them pro-
tected against further trouble in that
direction. 1t has been claimed that
some individuals find themselves inocu-
lated by one or more severe bites by the
tiny pests and that from that time
forth further bites have no effect what
ever. A correspondent of this paper in
sists that after the first severe suffer-
ing he had no more fear of the insects
and that he even came to enjoy the
sound of their buzzing. This gentleman
found, however, that when he moved
from one part of the world to some dis
tant part the whole matter of inocula-
ton had to be undergone again, as the
insects of different localities seemed to

An inquisitive COW succeeded in max
ing quite fuss on farm near New
berg, New York. the other day. In
nosing around she tipped over a bee
hive. Maddened by the stings the COW
rushed among the other members Of
the herd and soon they we're all running
around and around in a circle, frantic
with pain. The uproar they made at
tracted the attention of the family dog,
who trotted out to the field to see what
1t was all about, and he too was set
upon by the bees. He trotted back
again faster than he went out, followed
by many bees. This brought the eli
max of disaster, as the dog rushed into
the house and the farmer, his wife and
daughters, were all severely stung be-
fore the enraged bees were driven out.

superintendent Green, of the Con-
gresional library, has devised an ingen-
ious arrangement for removing dust
from the books before they are placed
upon the new shelves. He has attach
ed an ordinary rubber hose to the air
compressor belonging to the pneumatic
tube system, and, to use his language,
will just turn the hose on the dusty
books Instead Of water, however, a.
stream of air, flowing out under heavy
pressure, will do the work. To the end
Of the hose is attached a broad nozzle,
one-sixteenth of an inch by four inches
in size, which will enable the air to
play upon the books in stream the
shape Of brush The plan has been
tried with success upon the collections
that have already been brought over,
and it Is expected that every book will
go into Its new quarters free from dust.

enemies? If Mr.. Callaghan and
his friends did not believe
that sewers were needed for this city
ut the time Of the Clectio" held for
that purpose. what reason have we
to believe that they now realize the
existence of such necessity? Mr..
Callaghan claims the sewer contract
is not worth the paper il is written
on. How long would it last if he be-
came mayor? and when would the
work commence again?
If Mr.. Callaghan refused to ask
the SURFACES of the people TO raise
him to the position of mayor when the
treasury of the city was empty ana
bankruptcy was staring it in the face.
why has he changed his mind when
the vaults of the treasury are filled
to overlooking and great fund is
to he diShurSed?
When Mr.. Callaghan ran for theNof-
flee of county iudge at the fall cleo
ton. he implicitly promised the people
to hold that office during his term.
Was there any agreement That he
should run for that office for tempo
rary purposes only. and was there
any agreement as to the person who
should succeed him in the office of
county judge?
This is the most important election
that has occurred in San Antonio for
many years. and its result will deter
mine whether the people of this coun-
ty and this city are willing to trust
their political destinies in the hands
of n little junta of professional poll
hold nffipn for
what there is in it for them and their
friends. or whether they will trust the
conduct of their city government TO
men whose characters for integrity
and probity are the best guarantees
of their desire and ability to serve
the people for the peoples good. The
election will also determine wheth-
er the people of this city desire Il
zone man government" or n govern,
ment in which the council shall work
with the mayor for the advancement
of the citys interests, and not meet
only for the purpose of servilely reg
istering his behests. The election VIII
determine whether ignorance and We
nality will triumph over the very
best elements of the people.
| This election will determine wheth-
err the government Of the city will be
controlled by the Big Six in add
| ton to the county.
1t will determine whether the people
or the Big Six" are to be masters OF
the fairest city Of the Southwest.

dren and vote the ticket you think

A WORD OF INSTRUCTION.

To my colored friends:-While
believe a majority of you are favora-
BILE to the present administration,
some of you may have personal
friends on the other tickets, for whom
you wish to vote for. 1t is your priv
ilege and right to scratch. If you
cannot understand or make out your
own ballot, tell the judge who you
want to vote for, and it is his sworn
duty to fix your ballot as you direct.
If you think twelve years long enough
for a man to hold on to one office, and
want a change, vote for T. B. John
son for city treasurer. You will ind
his name on the first column of the
ballot. Leave his name and be sure
and scratch all the other candidates
running for the same office.

HOME INDUSTRY.

The opponents of Elmendorf are ma
king a great deal of fuss about cement
being furnished by Kalteyer.
Have we not very recently organic
ed and pledged ourselves to protect
home industry, in preference to any
imported goods-Has there ever been
any complaint made against the Qauli-
ty of cement manufactured here, as
being unfit for the construction OF sew
ers? Had Mr.. Elmendorf done the re-
verse, buying imported cement for pub
lie use, what a howl would there be
Of the same crowd against Elmendorf
for not patronizing home industry and
for letting the poor down trodden Ia
borers engaged in our cement factory
suffer at home.

HOG CHOLERA CURES.
State Board of Health Issues a Let
ter of Warming.

DIR. Reynolds, director of the veter-
mary department Of the state board of
health, in accordance with the decision
of that body has issued a circular Of
advice to farmers and stockmen con-
corning the many so-called cures for
hog cholera, and the men who ave go
ing over the state selling them. 1t
says:
Hog cholera has been proven infectious by
many different men and by many careful eX
periments. Practical experience supports
these scientific experiments and so it is diff
ficult to understand how any one who has
had experience with the disease can think
otherwise than that 1t is infectious. These
hog cholera cure agents are themselves
constant source of danger as they go from
farm to farm Owners and local health Of
ficers should not allow them to go near the
hogs upon any farm where the disease has
not appeared and they violate the law when
they go into pens or yards where hogs have
been quarantned by local or state boards
of health.

Agricultural Society of Iowa. has recently

stroying the swine herds OF our state has
