4 HERO.
The pa,inera.s

The board of equalization had a
seance Yesterday. 1t summoned cer-
tain supposedly wealthy citizens before
it to show cause why they should not
submit to increased assessments on
their wealth. This placed the gentle
men on the confessional, and the result
was showing which awakened so
much the sympathy Of the board that
there was talk among the members OF
taking up a collection among them
selves to meet the immediate wants of
the pauper brigade.
4 few admitted that they possessed
in way good deal of property and
money, but the property had already
been assessed and the money was ex-
empt, it having come from untaxable
sources. 1t was pathetic scene to
watch one after the other as he con-
fessed chat he could present no visible
means of support or give reasons why
the vagrant act should not, in each
particular case. take immediate effect.
1t was altogether a touching romance.

"sTILL IN THE SWIM"

telegram ftom Senator John A.
Wayland late yesterday afternoon:
"The industrial school bill pass.
ed to third reading in the senate
today with the A. and NJ. still in
the swim. Must wait until anoth-
er day to get the bill up for final
passage"
The bill will probably not be
called in the senate again before
Monday, in fact surely not, and
Immediately after its passage It
will be sent from the senate to the
house and the house will be called
TO a vote on the locating amend
ment. Upon this vote largely
rests the chance Of getting the
school and Bryan should have her
committee in Austin again Mon.

bers of the house are all properly
informed regarding the advantages
offered by the A. and NJ. College.
If the economy Of attaching the
institution TO the A. and NJ. col
lege can be thoroughly ex.
plotted the people Of the state
will soon realize that il would he
little short Of extravagant folly to
locate it anywhere else.
Many who oppose establishing
the school at all at this time are
said to favor attaching il to the A.
and NJ. College when it is estab-
lished, which time cannot be long
deferred, for the demand for a
girls industrial school is too strong
to be ignored.
Prof. l.. l. McInnis and J. r.
Astin returned from Austin yester-
day, where they have been repre-
senting Bryan in the effort to
secure the location Of the proposed
industrial school for girls near the
