Final Effort to Raise Brownsville
Railroad Bonus is Being Made.
San Antonio Express.

San Antonio Express.
Work on the Brownsville Rail
road bonus has been progressing
slowly for the past few weeks. So
slowly that the committee have de-
termined to bring the matter to a
focus this coming week. With that
end in view an active canvass
Will be resumed and it is to be
hoped that all who are interested
in the progress Of San Antonio
and who have not yet subscribed,
will cooperate with those who have
to the extent of their ability. The
committee has worked persevering-
ly and at the loss of a great deal
of time to the neglect of the pr
vate affairs Of its members, and it
is hoped that.a final effort will be
met with prompt and ready re-
Spouse, for the next week will de-
eide, pro or con, whether or not the
Brownsville Railroad project will
succeed or be abandoned. The con-
struction company having the con-
tract for the building Of the road,
conditioned upon raising the bonus,
is becoming justly impatient, hav-
ing waited for two months. The
question for those who are solicit
ed to consider at this time, is how
much is each willing to subscribe
rather than see San Antonio lose
this most important commercial
prize. Yesterdays Express con-
tanned an account Of the effort
which is being made in New Or
leans to secure the trade Of Browns
vile. If suah appreciation is
shrewdly manifested by a rival
city, San Antonio should follow
the good example set and secure
the trade not only of Brownsville,
but that of the intervening coun-
try, all of which is naturally hers,
but will go to her enterprising
rivals, should this city continue to
allow matters to take care of them
selves, and "wait for something
to turn up" The advantages ac-
cruing from the building of rail
road to Brownsville have been so
often set forth and so fully re-
cognized by business men general

WANTED PART PAY IN CASH"
The development of the Missouri "zinc
fields" brought out almost as many
amusing incidents a. follow the discov'
cries of new gold region. The Joplin
Index tells one--it has pathetic side
OF family Of ten children, orphans,
whose estate consisted Of q quarter sec.
ton Of rich zinc land.
The syndicate that was developing the
region wanted the property. The guard.
Ian Of the children WAS shoemaker oil
Joplin. He had been friend OF their
father, and was working hard to keep
the estate intact until they should grow
up, and TO educate them meantime.
After he had refused offers that In
creased $4,000 at leap, day after dav,
he became tired, and set price OF $500, :
900, so that the syndicate would cease
bothering him.
II happened, however, that that psrtlcu.
lar property WAS necessity for them,
and they would have given twice az
much. So they took him up In twink.
ling. The court approved the sale, and
the amount was handed over In the form
Of certified checks.
The shoemaker looked at the papers,
found out from the banker that they
were "good," and then said to the agent
Of the syndicate, "Could you give me
part In cashg"
"why, my man, you have 1t all In
