cure Senatorial Nomination.
Austin, Texas, May 2o.-With regard to
the State senatorshlp for the Twentieth
district. the belief is expressed in some
quarters that neither Yeti nor Won Rosen,
berg will eventually get the nomination.
Won Rosenberg has carried Travis county,
with sixteen votes in the convention, and
Yeti has carried Burnet, with four votes
and Williamson, with twelve votes, which
Will bring about a deadlock For this
reason the opinion is entertained that
Williamson county man will finally pull
the plum. 1t Is given out by people who
ought to know. though, that the william
son county delegation will stay with Yeti
as long as his name is before the conven-
tion.
Williamson county WILL at the state
convention, present Dan s. Chesser OF
Georgetown for presidential eector FROM
the Ninth congressional district, and sup
port John w. Hornsby Of Travis county
for delegate to the National convention.

Already the first story has been built; the building adjOins the new tannery and will be POO feet long and three stories in height; the foundations will be of stone, and the walls of brick. The enterprise is backed by local capitalists and skilled help will be imported from the United States. Native lether will be used and the work will be done by machi l. cry.

You may know by this that it is deep and good. Owners of the great grants are dying off, and the grants are being cut up and sold. The sons of the old grandee are no account. They have never been taught to work and can't do anything, consequently the new men are coming in and catching on."
