THEIR ANNUAL MEETING TO BE

TIMELY SUBJECTS FOR DISCUSSION
All Persons Interested in the Handling
or Breeding of Stock Invited to At
tend-An Interesting Program
Mapped Out.

The sixth annual convention of the
Texas Live Stock association will con-
vene in San Antonio on Monday, March
8. This association was organized in
the interest of the growers of cattle,
horses, sheep and swine, and it has stead
lily grown in numbers and in influence
year by year. A very interesting pro-
gram has been prepared for this meet
ing, which will be carried out in full. The
subjects for discussion have been assign
ed to capable men, and much interesting
information will be obtained by those
who are fortunate enough to attend.
There are several live questions of vital
Importance to the live stock industry of
this state which should be discussed at
this convention. The Legislature will
still be in session, and the views of the
convention as crystalized in the form of
resolutions and requests will doubtless
have some weight with the lawmaking
powers at Austin. The citizens of San
Antonio are making great preparations
looking to the comfort and entertainment
of all delegates and visitors to the con-
vention, and every one directly or indi-
rectly interested in breeding or handling
any kind of live stock is urgently request
ed to attend
On account of this meeting the rail-
roads of the state have made an extra
ordinary low rate of So for the round trip
from any point in the state. The rate

w. p. ST. JOHN DEAD.
Prominent Politician and Banker of New
York Died Suddenly.

New York, Feb. 15.-W. 2. st. John.
eX-president of the Mercantile National
bank and treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee. died suddenly at his
home in this city last night. Mr.. st. John
died of a complication of kidney and stom-
ach troubles.
William Poe st. John was born in Mo-
bile, Ala, in 1857. His father, who was
also banker, gave him an academic ed
ucation. Mr.. st. John came to this city
when quite young man and soon took
charge of the credit department of the
old sugar trust. Then he became inter-
ested in the Mercantile National bank and
eventually became president of that in
stitution. For many years he was widely
known as a hnancier. He contributed
to current literature on the subject of
finance. AT nearly all meetings to discuss
monetary reforms Mr.. st. John was an
easily recognized figure. His opinions
and expressions offended his fellow bank
ers in this city last year, when he ac-
copied the position of treasurer of the
allied silver forces, and he rendered his
resignation as president of the Mercantile
National bank. On the LIST of January
Mr. st. John was dropped as a director
of the Mercantile and Second National
banks of this city.

A SUDDEN DEATH


Mr.. Lewis B. Cox, we'll known citi-
zen, died suddenly yesterday morning,
about z O'Clock. During the afternoon
OF Friday Mr.. Cox went out to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Will Johnson, who lives
a few miles east of the city, and when he
returned home he complained of having
pains in his chest. He retired about 8
O'Clock, but got up, saying the pains were
so severe that he could not sleep He
retired again, and apparently was feel
ing better. Some time after his cook,
who had been ironing clothes, went to
his room to see if he wanted anything,
and he stated that he was resting well.
About o'clock, however, he grew worse,
and called the cook, saying he felt as if
he wanted to throw up. He made an
effort to do so. and few moments after
he died.
Justice johnson held an inquest yester-
day, at which DR.. Graves stated Mr.. Cox
died of la grippe, which had involved the
heart.
