Trouble in Texas.

Orange (TeXasl Leader: Mayor
Noteworthy and the city council are
face to face with a serious problem,
one that is hard to solve and one in
which every citizen should take an
interest-the operation of the city
water works plant. The city has as
fine water works system as far as it
goes, as can be found anywhere, the
service being excellent and the pres
sure never failing. Unfortunately,
however, the plantcovers only a small
portion of the city and the council is
without funds to further extend it,,
bonds having been issued for the full
amount for which the council has au-
thority to issue, and the revenue now
derived from the plant is hardly one
third of the amount required to oper-
ate it. This being the case, it is be-
coming a burden and the city authori-
ties are now facing the problem of
how to remedy the present condition.
The mayor is now making an effort to
determine how much additional rev.
enue could be secured with a limited
extension of the mains and it behooves
every citizen with the interest of the
city at heart to render him all the as
sistance possible.

A Vicious Runaway.

About II o'clock Tuesday the
heavy black draft team of F. w.
Fitzgerald came running down town
from the north Mr.. Stout, the driver,
had gone to the Missouri Pacific depot
for freight and the team became
frightened at something and ran
away. He pulled and hauled until the
team turned a corner, when he and
the sideboards went overheard. Then
the team ran at will to the park, west
to Washington avenue and south on
that street.
The heavy team swung back and
forth in the road Carriages hurried
to one side and everybody stopped to
see the result. Cowan e. Ausherman' 5
delivery wagon vas standing in front
of their store and Ed Smith, the young
colored driver, was on the seat, facing
the coming team. The runaways
| headed straight for the delivery, a
box wagon with "A single small horse.
! BY but foot they missed striking the
| delivery horse square IN the chest WIN
the pole of the dray. They swerved
slightly and one of the big blacks
struck the small horse and knocked
him down. Up into the air flew i
small darky, over went the delivery
and water melons, apples, coffee
eggs, butter and whole load o
groceries flew into hashonthe ground
The wheels were dished and the horse
badly bruised. The blacks never
stopped butran on south where Charlie
Campbell succeeded in bringing then
to Il halt in front of McCarley',
bakery.
1t was the first time the blacks eve
ran away but the heavy impetus will
which they came was eXceedingl.
dangerous.

An Irritable Crowd.

Tuesday was pay day, hot day
and hot evening. There were crowds
on the streets trying to get cool. Some
of the crowd had been drinking anu
were boisterous. About O'Clock the
ball opened in front Of the New York
store when Jess Burnett, strapping
big colored man who works at the
cement plant, knocked Billy Rowley
down. There are varied reports of
how it happened; one that Bowley
had folding rule in his hand and
while talking to Burnett swung it as
if to strike. The negro hit Rowley
terrible blow On the neck knocking
him to the ground. Burnett was ar
rested and taken to police court where
his case was set for this evening,
This is his third appearance in police
court in the past ten days.
1t was not twenty minutes later that
Officer SHAPED asked crowd in front
of Northrups to move on and clear
the walk. There was back talk and
SHAPED arrested one of the crowd, II.
=. Morrison. He started off with his
man and the crowd followed, pushing
and showing and swearing and trying
to get the prisoner away. a citizer
was asked to help and took one Of
Morrison's arms. The crowd pluckeC
at him. When another officer APP
peared the citizen yielded his place
He says part of the crowd followed
him, cursing him and declaring tina
"we'll get you" Clear to the police
court they went and packed about the
doors and windows, freely discussing
the event and abusing the polio,
force. Morrison was allowed to g
on his own recognizance.
Serious trouble was not very fa
distant last night, but with morning
and good sleep nearly all the irri
tatiOn is past.

The Reunion Freaks.


The freak business is the latest fad
among grafters nproof of this note
Bosco. who eats live snakes He is
the most successful money Garner of
any side show in the country. And in
the grove at Riverside park there are
two freaks. which holds crowds all the
time while the older variety of attrac-
tions are left in solitude. One is the
Filipino girl and the other is a dwarf
negro.
The Filipino girl is the worst paro-
dy on beautiful women that the re-
porter ever saw. Short with a fat
body, stubby limbs, big head of
straight black hair, a large face, small
squinty black eyes, a huge mouth full
of uneven teeth and u smile that is
regular nightmare. The man in charge
was for fifteen years a resident in the
Philippine islands where he acted as a
guide. He ran away and married a
Filipino woman. The freak, he says,
belongs to one of the hill tribes which
unlike the other tribes, never mingled
and intermarried with other races.
They are ali dwarfs and live in caves.
The men average some four feet tall
and the women two and a half. In
response to the question as to the
freak being a representative of the
beauty of the tribe then said she was
the haudsomest one he ever saw. As she
sat crunching a biscuit in that large,
loose mouth, the Filipino girl was one
of the most repulsive claimants to
, fellowship with humanity one could
see in thousand years. The eX-
hibitor asserted that medical men said
she is between thirty and forty years
old and that while having a human
body the limbs are like those of a
: monkey, having but one bone in them
She is native of one of the smaller
and more distant islands of tn,

ANOTHER MILE OF MAINS.
Water Pipe Has Come Down In Price
Enough TO Save the City of lola
$4,000 on its Proposed Plant.

The lola Portland Cement Company
as told fully in the REGISTER at the
time, put in operation a complete
tank on the mound served as reservoir
and a six inch main to the river
where pump was located gave them
an inexhaustible supply. The pump
proved unsatisfactory, however, and
they yesterday placed an order
for new and larger one and also or
dered eight-inch pipe which will be
laid in place of the smaller pipe. The
increased size of the plant called for
larger water supply and the new en-
gine will pump half million gallons
daily, enough to supply a small city.
When the former plant was built it
was supposed that the creek would
furnish an ample supply, but this has
proven untrue and the new pump will
be placed on the Ewing land not far
below the Lanyon pump.
One of the interesting points about
the transaction to lola people is that
the placing of the order developed the
fact that water pipe has come down
considerably in price since lola made
her first estimate of the cost of a
plant. A new pipe factory has been
erected at Birmingham, Ala, and it is
bucking the trust manfully, AS a re-
suit the price quoted the Cement Com
pany, Mr.. Mcdonnell says, will en-
able the city of lola, with the same eX-
penditure of money, to lay mile and
II quarter more mains, a. IL represents
Il saving of over So, 600 on the item of
p.re. This is big thing as it in
