to place their charge in the National
Military asylum at that place.
Today was pay day for the cavalry
at the post.
There are now ten general prisoners
confined in the guardhOuse at Fort
Sam Houston.
The soldier boys certainly deserve
credit for the earnest manner in which
they worked at the, Carson street fire
yesterday afternoon. 1t was at first
| thought general alarm would be
sounded and the garrison caleld out,
but the men rushed to the scene in
such a hurry there was no need of a
| fire call.
Full dress parade takes place at the
post every Tuesday and Friday even
| ing by the infantry at o'clock. The
time for cavalry dress parade has not
yet been announced, the squadron hav-
ing only returned yesterday.

white uniforms also.
There are 100 men stationed at Fort
Sam Houston.
The daily program at the post now
| is. guard mount at 800 a. m, assem-
bly, at 9:25 a. m, and adjutants call
at $50 q. m.
| A large number of visitors witnessed
the infantry dress parade last even

The Bronchos found Frank Quigg an
easy mark and it is his first game he
has ever lost to San Antonio. His
support was fine, as none of the yisi-
tors errors were costly.
The Dallas team carries photographs
of the players in baseball costume and
also in dress suits, to be put on exhi-
bition while on the road. In dress
suits the men look like railroad mag
mates more than like baseball players.
They've got that peculiar play-for-pay
expression about their eyes.
1t is reported that Grip" has re-
signed as mascot for the Bronchos.
The team was photographed this morn
ing in uniform and Grip" was not
allowed on the picture. The photo
graphs will be large group pictures
and will be used on the road for ad-

Four Journeymen Book Binders Walk
Out Of the Maverick-Clark
Litho Company.


The Maverick Clark Litho company
is working new journeymen in it's bind
cry today and four Of the old employees
are walking the streets, owing to some
trouble between employers and en-
ployes yesterday, which resulted in the
four journeymen relinquishing their
situations.
They claim that they have not been
satisfied with the manner in which the
- bindery was conducted for the past few
months, and that yesterday there was
some trouble which brought things to
a crisis and resulted in a walkOut.
They claim that the firm has been
employing too many apprentices and
using the men as they please to too
great an extent, laying them off, with
out any notice and for no definite
length of time and there has been a
general air of dissatisfaction FREEDOM
mating in the place for some time.
The men who went out stated that
they had no individual grievance
against the company, having always
promptly received their pay, but were
only dissatisfied with the management
of the bindery. The men who quit
were Messrs. Hopkins, Gilbert Wilson
and Daily.

When your stomach begins to
trouble you, it needs help. The
help it needs is to digest your food,
and, until it gets it, you won't
have any peace. Stomach trouble
is very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many of the
most dangerous diseases begin
with simple Indigestion. The rea-
son is that indigestion (not-diges-
ton, not nourishment weakens the
system and allows disease germs
to attack it. The antidote is

There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the county than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For q great
many years doctors pronounced it
o local disease, and prescribed To-
cal remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.-
Science has proven catarrh to be
q constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat
mont. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by +. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market
1t is taken internally in doses
f.om 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not
always understood is that women
suffer as much from distressing
kidneys and bladder troubles as
the men. The womb is situated
back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease or Inconvenience
manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is Of
ten, by mistake, attributed to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble
Of some sort.
The error is easily made and
may be rs easily avoided by set
ting urine aside for t~wenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling is
evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply with smarting or
burning,-these are also convinc-
ing proofs of kidney troubles. If
you have doctered without bene-
fit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney remedy, The
mild and the extraordinary effect
will surprise you. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures
If you take a medicine you should
take the best. At druggists fifty
cents and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and PAM
phlet. both sent free by mail

your address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,

tors OF this paper guarantee the
