New Wood Work Plant For San
Angelo.

The PRESS learns that a we'll
known San Angelo contractor is
making arrangements to put in o
wood working plant in San An
gelo that will be equipped to
make anything in the wood work
line, from a tub to a tank, from O
spindle to a column, sash, doors,
blinds, mouldings, etc. The pow
er is to be supplied by II horse
power engine, and the plant will
require about $1,000 worth of
machinery at the start, and al
ready the protector has been
promised several hundred dollars
worth of work per month by the
three water supply houses of San
Angelo. The plant, will, in it's
operation, Cgive speedy employ
ment to number of high-class
mechanics at over average wages,
and keep in San Angelo many
thousands of dollars annually,
which are now paid out for fin
ished work.
1t is worthy of every encour-
agement and all patronage, and
the PRRss wishes the protector
abundant prosperity in his lauda-
bic venture.

Wants Incorporation.
To the PRESS.

To the PRESS:
The Press, il. a recent issue,
threw out a gentle plea for REIN
corporation. Why not make it
an urgent one?
Why not let it be the tocsin of
the war cry until that most need
ed step has been taken by the
people of San Angelo? In this
era of progression, when the
grand state of Texas is alive with
prospectors, we should be ashamed
to acknowledge that so far as
municipal affairs are concerned,
San Angelo is only one step
ahead of the mere village of the
COS.
What man, with any idea of
progress or eye to business, wish
es to invest his money in a town
where hogs, cows and horses roam
at will through the streets; where
those streets $50 called) are not
even equal to the North Texas
country roads where the fire COM
pany is dependent on the nearest
delivery wagon for transportation
to the scene of the fire; where
garbage fills every vacant lot, and
in many instances the improved
ones?
The people of San Angelo should
wake up from their lethargic
sleep and act upon this vital
question. We have lost, not only
Federal buildings, railroads and
wealth through this spirit of nom
enterprise, but are fast losing
that prestige among our neighbor-
ing towns, and that commenda-
tion of our own consciences, so
dear to mankind. The day of
sleeping is past.
Awake, citizens of San Angelo,
put your shoulders to the wheel.
If you would be in the "push"
do your share of the pushing.

Religious Notes.

Rev. j. M. Brown, of Coleman,
filed the pulpit at the Presby-
terrain church at both the morn
ing and evening services last Sun
day. Large congregations were
out at both services and all were
charmed with the preacher and
elevated by his sermons. His
discourse at night, on children,
was theme which seemed
peculiarly dear to him and he did
It full justice. Mr.. Brown is one
of the most versatile and accom-
plished ministers who have ever
visited San Angelo. He brings
all the powers of a fine voice, a
natural delivery, thorough mas
terry of the arts of oratory, and
elocution, an extensive but easily
understood vocabulary, the flow
ers of rhetoric, and a dramatic
ability legitimately used and evil
IDENTIFY reinforced by absolute
sincerity to his aid in lifting up
mankind and leading them along
the paths of rectitude and virtue.
Mr.. Brown should not limit
himself to the circumscribed field
of pastorate; he should "go
forth and preach the Gospel unto
all the world" for he has the
elements within him of most
successful evangelist, one who, in
results would take his place with
those of Sturgeon, Moody and the
others in that galaxy. The
solos which he rendered were in
discribably grand, and the STIR
ring influence of his magnificent
voice thrilled all within the sacred
precincts of the edifce, acting
with stimulating effect on the
higher impulses and faculties,
stirring heart and mind and send
ing the blood coursing through
the veins with renewed activity.
1t is hoped thai San Angelo will
have the pleasure of listening to
Mr.. Brown again in the near
future and on oft repeated occas-
ions.

STORY OF ROADS SALE.

An official confirmation has been received of the transfer of the Searcy & Des Arc railroad to the Rock Is land. The actual sale was made at the time the Choctaw passed into the hands of the Rock Island. The day before the sale of the Choctaw that road had purchased the Searcy & Des Are, and consequently the Rock Island bought line of railway which had not entered into the negotiations. A circular has been issued naming J. F. Holden as traffic manager and w. w. Wentz, Jr., general manager, both being the local Rock Island of ficials in charge of the Choctaw lines. The road runs from Searcy to Des Arc, distance of twenty eight miles.

 Nobe Connolly, who was a candi- date for the Arkansas legislature at the last primary, said that Kelly was in Little Rock Tuesday, but he be- lieves that Kelly has received a tip and left the city. The result of Con- nelly's statement was that both he and a young man named Parker, were detained by the Little Rock police for an hour Tuesday until the young man was identified.

Speaking of MT. R. A. Coffman, the Republican nominee for congress in this district, Captain F. w. Tucker said to reporter for the Little Rock Gazette; "He is one of the most prominent citizens of his section. His home is in Russell, where he has a large mercantile business. He was the postmaster at Russell under Pres ident Harrison, and might have had the office again under Mckinley, but he believes in rotation of office and would not advance his claims. It is probable that arrangements will be made by the Republican committee of the district to have him make can- vass. It is not probable that it will be joint one with MT. Brundidge."

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.


 Frank Stolliker, young man, for merly of Detroit, Michigan, but for the past five months in the employ of c. J. Saenger, mysteriously dis appeared Friday night and his where abouts are yet unknown. He left behind letter to his friend David Hare, bequeathing him his earthly possessions, consisting of clothes and a policy for $1,OOo in the New York Life Insurance Company.
 Tn this communication, the de- parted man said that he was tired of life and trying to do right, intimating that he had decided to take his own life. He did not commit himself in this letter however to suicide and the general opinion of those who knew him is that he has betaken himself to parts unknown. His liabilities are in the eneighborhood of $80, his creditors numerous, while his clothes and other assets will not cover the indebtedness. MT. Saenger has his insurance policy for S1 ,0OO however, but without fur ther proof that Stolliker has com mitted suicide or by other means lost his life, the company would undoubt- edly refuse payment.
 Stolliker was about "A years of age, crippled and compelled to us9 a cane. Tn stature, he measured 5feet2 inches, of med um build with regular features, blue eyes and dark hair. He came to Newport on the 2Oth of last April and the last seen of him was when he left the tailor shop about o'clock Friday night.

MISTAKE MADE IN RETURNS.

Amendment No. was not defeated.
 This important discovery was made today by Deputy Secretary of State o. o. Ludwid and John R. lobe, state printing clerk, who with other mem- bers of the auditors and secretary of state's clerical forces, have been can wasting the returns of the election of September 1.
 It has been believed that the amend ment was defeated.
 The vote was as follows:
 For amendment 45,598
 Against amendment 43,9S2.
 Majority for. 1,616.
 It is not necessary that the amend ment should receive two thirds ma iority. It was decided by the speak CT of the house of representatives several years ago, when the question arose on another amendment, that a majority of those voting on the sub- feet was sufficient to adopt, and that rule has since prevailed.
