BRIGHTER FOR GARNER.
Decided Improvement in His
Chances-Republicans Are On
the Run.-Campaign Con-
tributors Fear Civil
Service.
Staff Correspondence Houston Post.

Staff Correspondence Houston Post.
San Antonio, Texas, October %.
The past twenty-four hours have
seen not a few changes in the stu
alton in the Fifteenth congression-
al district. Reports from all por-
tons of the district are more favor
able for Judge Garner than they
have been at any previous time
during the present campaign But
| it is essential that work in Judge
Gamers behalf must not be permit
ted to fag Two things have largely
been responsible for the betterment
of his candidacy. The first is that
man to man Judge Garner drove
Mr.. Scott from the stump and from
the open when they measured
swords in joint debate. The second
is that the republicans being driven
from every vantage grounds have
attempted to prostitute the voters
'of the district by collecting an enor-
nous slush fund. The voters are
revolving at the charge that their
suffrage is on the market to be sold
to the highest bidder.
Judge Garner has been all sorts
of a surprise both to his friends and
his enemies. While his friends knew
that he possessed ability of no
mean order they were not, when he
first announced as a candidate for
the democratic nomination, prepar-
ed to assert that he was endowed
with political acumen and was
thoroughly schooled in the art of
statecraft. In fact, even his warm
est friends had grave fears of the
outcome when a joint political de-
bate was arranged for between Judge
Garner and Mr.. Scott. The republi-
can candidate had been proclaimed
a political Solomon and as an in
tellectual giant.
After the first joint debate be-
tween Mr. Scott and Judge Garner
the republicans began to hunt for
excuses to prevent further meetings
between the two congressional can
didates. The second debate con-
WINGED them that whatever show
Mr. Scott had of being elected
would vanish like a SNOWFALL in
the regions dim If Mr.. Scott were
permitted to continue to debate
with the democratic nominee. At
ter the last debate, held some ten
days ago, Mr.. SCOTS managers, iii
the yernacular of the prize ring,
threw up the sponge and with
drew their man from further match
es with Judge Garner.

VIOLATES CIVIL SERVICE.

Senator Bailey, who was in this
city last night, said that all FEEDER

togniizance Of the circular letter
sent out by James O. LVhy asking
for campaign Contributions have
laid themselves liable to the opera

advises that the matter should be
taken up through the civil service
commission without delay. 1t will
be remembered that President
Roosevelt made an example out OF
former Collector of Customs Drake
of Eagle Pass for vid ating the civil

be taken as criterion if it es-

ABOUT BROWNSVILLE.

Uriah Lott, the great Texas rail-
road builder, has interes ted himself
in a railway proposition at Browns
vile. Unless he has lost some of his
old-time sagacity it will be pNpduc-
tive of results. Brownsville the
only city in Texas without raj |way
connection with the balance VI the
state, and the territory tributary to
it is bigger than any of the New
England states. Situated in a
semi-tropic latitude, with the finest
artesian water a matter of a few
hundred feet, and skirted by the
Rio Grande with a valley rich as
that of the Nile, a railway would
make it a second California

No one took notice of me, only the
bow oar saying: as that you, Jim ?
Keep your head down" But Silver,
from the other boat. looked sharply
over and called out to know if that
were me; and from that moment l be-
gan to regret what had done.
The crews raced for the beach; but
the boat I was in, having some start,
and being at once the lighter and the
better manned, shot far ahead of her
consort, and the how had struck among
the shore-side trees, and had caught
a branch and swung myself out, and
plunged into the nearest thicket, while
Silver and the rest were still 100 yards
behind.
"Jim. Jim!" heard him shouting.
But you may suppose paid no heed I;
jumping, ducking, and breaking
through. I ran straight before my
nose, till could run no longer

longer so much as have pretended not
plain as day. Silver was the captain,
and mighty rebellious crew he had of
it. The honest hands--and l was soon
to see il proved that there were such
on board-must have been very stupid
fellows. Or, rather, I suppose the truth
was this: that all hands were disaffect-
ed by the example of the ringleaders--
only some more, some less; and few,
being good fellows in the main, could
neither be led nor driven any further.
1t is one thing to be idle and skulk, and
6plite another to take ship and muir
der a number of innocent men.
At last, however, the party was made
up, Six fellows were to stay on board
and the remaining 10, including Silver,
began TO embark.
Then it was that there came into my
head the first of the mad notions that
contributed so much to save our lives
If six men were left by Silver, it was
plain our party could not take and fight
the ship; and since only six were left,
it was equally plain that the cabin par

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, spout of gravel
was dislodged and fell rafting and
bounding through the trees Ny eyes
turned instiuctively in that direction,
and saw figure leap with great rapid
ity behind the trunk of a pine. What it
was, whether bear or man or monkey,
could in no wise tell. 1t seemed dark
and shaggy; more knew not. But the
terror of the new apparition brought
me to n stand.
l was now, it seemed, cut off upon
both sides; behind me the murderers,
before me this lurking nondescript. And
Immediately began to prefer the dan

Silver himself appeared less terrible in
contrast with this creature of the
woods, and I turned on my heel, and,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder, began to retrace my steps in
the direction Of the boats.
Instantly the hgure reappeared, and
making wide circuit, began to head
me off. l was tired. at any rate; but
had been as fresh as when l rose, |
could see it was in vain for me to CON
tend in speed such an adversary. From
trunk to trunk the creature fitted like
a deer, running man-like on two legs,
but unlike any man that had ever

The squire was waiting for me al
the stern window, all his faintness gone
from him. He caught the painter and
made it fast, and we fell to loading the
boat for our very lives. Pork, powder
and biscuit was the cargo, with onfy
musket and cutlass apiece for squire
and me and Redruth and the captain.
The rest OF the arms and powder were
dropped overheard in two fathoms and
half of water, SO that we could see
the bright steel shining far below us

BY this time the tide was beginning
to ebb, and the ship was swinging
around to her anchor. Voices wero

There was pause.

the captain, don't hang so long in
stays. I'm risking my life, and the
lives of these good gentlemen, every
second"
There was a sudden scuffle. n sound
of blows, and out burst Abraham GRAY

School Teachers Near Cebu

the facts in the killing of a Cebu coach
ing party of four school teachers, shows
that the party was ambushed II miles

Two teachers were shot and killed at

shot in the back and a fourth, who was
captured, was shot in the chest while
he was praying for mercy 1t is sus-

vict all the participants in the crime.
The bodies of these teachers were
