Der of the Bachelor Girls club, says
an Alton special dispatch to the Wash
ington Post. 1t matters not if the man
be possessed of wealth beyond the
dreams of avarice, If he proposes just
now to an Alton bachelor girl he will
be put on the brotherhood list tempo
rarily at least.
The bachelor girls, whose aim in life
is to make men propose SO they can
reject them, have decided to give a silk
dress worth 5000 to the member who
can prove at the leap year ball in
January that she has refused the most
offers. N
If the men do their duty. as expected.
the bachelor girls figure that each will
have at least three new scalps to show
when the contest is decided. There are
some male skeptics who scent a trap
and ask. Suppose 1 propose. out of
good nature, and the girl says 'Yes?"

and to permit it to be cared for by the
Daughters of the Texas Republic, as
the historic Alamo building now is.
Owing to it's remote location compare
lively few people visit La Bahia mis-
sion. Those who enter the building
first must pay fee TO the Mexican

terror of the mission edifice is much
the same as it was when the massacre
left the walls despatched with blood
more than seventy years ago.

TO SAVE LA BAHIA MISSION.
Movement on Foot For State to Buy
Historic Texas Building.

Historic Texas Building.
The ancient La Bahia mission build
ing. situated near Goliad, Tex, is to
lee rehabilitated and preserved If the
movement succeeds which has been
started among patriotic Texans with
those purposes in view, says the Kan
sas City Star In this ancient build
ing on May {, 1896, 800 men under
command of Colonel Fannin were
massacred by large force of Next
cans at Santa Annals orders. The
walls of the church We're stained with
the blood of the men who were strlv-
ing to gain their country's liberty from
Mexico. The news of this massacre
aroused the Texans and gave them the
frenZied courage which soon after
ward resulted in the overwhelming de-
fea. of Santa Annals army and cap
ture of the Mexican commander, whose
life was saved only through the timely
interference of General Sam Houston
La all the years that have passed
since that massacre, during the period
that Texas was a republic and since
she became state, the historic edi-
afice has remained uncared for except
hr such little attention as was shown
"a by the few poor but devout Mexican
Eorshipers who gathered at its altar
sundays and the various saints
kys.
