ball.
The Tigers have a beautiful uniform
cream with red trimmings-and the
long bath robes are the real things,
Elmo Jacobs is back in the Texas
league, on third for Paris.
Pete Weckbecker is one of the most
popular ball players that ever visited
San Antonio and has many friends in
the Alamo Git. In the same class
with Pete is Johnnie Bammert. Both
are gentlemen on or off the field.
Close, single figure scores are COM
mon occurrence in the Texas league,
which shows that the teams are well
matched and are playing good ball.
O'Connor dropped a foul from Coo
leys bat in the sixth inning, and the
next ball Cooley put over the fence for
a home run. Mike is thereby credited
with an eorror and the Tigers are not
credited with an earned run for the
reason that a chance had been offered
to retire the batsman. This is ques-
ton that is open for argument. The
rule reads: An earned run shall be
scored every time the player reaches
home base by the aid of basehits only
before chances have been offered to re-
tire the side" Cooley was the second
man uD. with none out, the preceding
batter having reached first on a hit.

"A Personal Interview
of Interest
of Interest.


So great has become the prominence
before the public lately of DIR. ]. ]. Nc
our substantial citizens and profession
al men, that the more San Antonians
know and learn of him is better for all
parties concerned and having this idea
in view, Light reporter yesterday re-
paired to the Doctors Office at No. $40
West Commerce street and quizzed
him concerning his specially and flu
ture plans regarding his stay in our
city. DR.. McKanna is frank and very
positive, of type seldom encounter
ed; there is no desultory fire of words
or pleasantries. He comes straight to
the point. Answering skillful queries,
he said:
II established a sanitarium first in
Houston, in 1891 and since then have
had patients, both men and women,
whom l have successfully treated for
the various nervous diseases and have
effected nearly 5000 cures. These cas-
es came from Chicago, Jacksonville,
Fla, and other almost antipodaI places,
and each and every one of them I
can now refer to for testimonials If
so desire. My treatment is rational.
In taking hold of a case where the pa
tient Is run down from habituaI use of
alcoholic stimulants, has loss of ap-
petite, loss of sleep, pains and rheu-
matism all over the body, etc.,I treat
them with medicine taken directly
through the stomach, the natural
agent for distributing both food and
medicine. There is no loss of time,
no sickness experienced. The patient
comes to my office, receives my medi-
cine and direction, goes home, takes
the remedy and gets well. There is
no publicity in any way.
"Dipsomania is a disease, so ac-
knowledged by the best practitioners
of the worlds treated as such and as
such can be and is cured. l remove
all the taste, all the desire for liquors
in from II to As hours and tone up the
blood and the nervous system and put
the stomach in condition so the patient
can eat and assimilate the nourish-
ment. This treatment can be taken
in the banking house as well as the
workshop, in the home or at the office.
81 have been granted the privilege of
referring to former patients in nearly
every city, town and hamlet in this
state" continued the doctor, and
among them are lawyers, bankers,
doctors merchants and mechanics,
and they will tell you that never have
l had a fatality in my practice. Fur
thermore, patients are coming in so
rapidly, even from my former terrific
ry. sent here by my friends that l have
found it necessary to begin very soon
to erect my sanitarium to accumulate
them all. I will break ground in
about three weeks for it and will erect
a three-story brick building to cost
500 900. The block of land for the site
7 have already selected and secured.
Meanwhile my office will remain here,

An Old Texan Writes That's the Way
to Insure Crops.
The following is an extract of let
ter received a few days ago from an
old friend of Maj. ]. c. Berry, who
has been living in Arizona for the last
six or seven years, and knows we'll of
what he writes:
II am glad there is a prospect for
good crops in Texas and better times
in general, as you know though-no re-
lance can be put on the spring out
look for a better summer crop in Tex
as. 1t fails oftener than it hits, and
always will. Texas will never have
any stady prosperity until a general
system of irrigation is in vogue.
In the territory in the farming sections
not drop of water is allowed to run
to waste. If some of these Texas far
mers who are eternally bewailing the
droughts, and who have a river of wa
ter running by their land would visit
ella valley or the Salt River valley in
Desert Arizona it would be a revelation
to them. Your business Mems club
could spend some money in railroad
tickets profitable in this direction"

Artillery Companies Desire to Partici-

Enterprise.
A meeting of the managers of the In
terstate drill was held last night in the
Business Mems club rooms and consid-
cradle interesting business came up.
Many letters were read from distant
military companies, making inquiries
regarding artillery prizes, etc. 1t is
probable an artillery class will be added
to the program. If this is done it will
insure the attendance of several fine
artillery companies.
1t was decided that all prizes would
be awarded as promised in the sched-
ule, even if but one company competed
in each class.
The Washington Evening Star kind
ly offered to publish such news of the
drill as the management should send
from time to time, and the offer was
accepted.
Wheat and Carver proposed to pub
lish the official program for the associ-
alton in book they contemplate pub
