The editor of the Tames has been Well
acquainted with Secretary Tom Richard-
son, OF the Houston Business League. for
twenty years aud feels confident that Mir,
Richardson has made a mistake IN deed

sng city OF Texas, but that city canI at
1000 TO luso Tom Richardson and she wlli
Discover her mistake, just as Galveston and
other cities have done after he has lett.
We have known Tom In Colorado, uiah
and California, aua have watched him
elsewhere, ard We believe he has origin
aued more novel, and at the same tms
substantial, movements than any other
twenty men combined. Put Tom Richard
son in a town or city, ard, that place Will
be- talked about, wriuten about and dis
cusseG, and her public events Win succeed.
Every congressional district west OF the
Missouri river claims that the credit for
oeep water at Galveston and other points
belongs TO its CONGRESSMAN, bur the freight
dsdn't move outward until Tom Richard
son took charge OF the work. organized the
leadlng spirits of the West into a con-
yention at Topeka, ard then rates were
nude which brought the stuff 10 New or

a great many men who know more ttan
Tom Richardson but he hasn'. an equal IN
this country in his particular line. He caa
get more work out OF newspapers and busy
business men than anyone elise. He Is
suited for his calling, and all South Texas
wants him to remain at his post. Someone
else can look after his Kansas sffairs; we

trupolis and railroad center that Is the

OF such bonds now lying idle in the Ma
ticnal treasury, with a hundred millions or
more OF other surplus funds. while the

WHEN THE TWO WE'RE VILLAGES
Memories of Houston and Galveston
In the Fortics.

To the Editor of The Pest.
Houston. Texa7. October l6.--Away back
in the 'i0s, when Houston and Galveston
whicA sat whittling upon dry goods boxes,
arguing as TO which of the optimistic en-
Orycs would become the future great OF
Texas, and when the only means OF conf
munootlcn VAS by water. there WAS a spirit
OF animostiy existing between the urchins
OF the two places. which it might not be
amiss to CALI to mind in uals day ANA gem
enatlon. The hoys of Galveston styled the
Houston lais the Mud Cats" and we. in
retaliation. dubbed them the sand Crabs. .
Woe be to The Hou sion boy when caught
sauntering down the streets of the Sand
Crabbers,' as he was sure to meet With
mclesta5ion N tho form OF a good drubblng
ana a like fate WAS always in store for the
sand Crahher' II caught IN Houston.
Were such spirit existing now, the
Youngsters would no doubt select battle
ground, halfway, and like the Indian,
hight 1t out. Happily. these days of quick
communication, when the places are not SO
remote from each other, has brus he'd away
suoa an unslvli2ed state OF affairs and rem
dered the people one and undivided,
AZ Wes the prevailing idea In Houston AT
that time that every little zephyr had sure
ly swept the gulf over the island and de-
stroyei Galveston, and Should the steamer
plying between the two places be late, II
gave certainty TO the imagined calamity.
B01h villages consisted mostly OF board
shantics aud tents. aud they should GER
tainly be proud of their present metropoA-
tan attachments. An occasional landmark

what we were, but very soon the last of
these, both as to houses and people will
all have passed away In Galveston such
names as Mills. Lsbadie. Brans-rd, Run

A Narrow EScape.

What nearly proved to be serious
accident happened on Tuesday night
while Chris. Renner and family were
driving home, but very luckily all es-
capped with few bruises and a general
shaking up.
Mr.. and Mrs Renner, with their
daughter had been in Alma doing some
shopping and were on their way home
When near Ed. Adams place west of
town the horses became frightened and
started TO runaway. Mr. Renner was
thrown out and quite badly bruised up
while the daughter in attempting TO
jump from the wagon also received
some very severe injuries. Mrs. Renner
managed TO get out Of the wagon with
out being hurt much. At first il was
thought that Mr. Renner's shoulder was
broken and the daughter had broken
limb, but DIR. BaPley was summoned
and found no bones fractured. Alto.
gether it was very lucky escape for all
concerned.
