Point Isabel, Texas, Nov. 16.-The
norther came and a tolerably good
rain, but not enough to saturate the
soil and fill the ponds-yet the
change is a very welcome and advant-
ageous one.
Charlel Champion, the hustling
merchant of Isabel, went to Browns
vile Saturday afternoon on business.
A. d. Alvi, who has resided in this
county for the last three years, and
at this place for a year, left Sunday
afternoon for Lagun Chapala, State
of Jalisco, Mexico, where he intends
to go into steamboating Chapala is
said to be quite health and pleasure

John Champion, the affable deputy

morning from a visit to his family in
Brownsville.
A party of half dozen or more came
out from Brownsville yesterday
morning to enquire after geese and
ducks along the Rio Grande railroad

Coptain Collins of the steam

That genial gentleman, w. H. Nc

with half a dozen visitors to the
Point.
Several ladies and gentlemen
spent Sunday in the pleasant pre-
cincts of pleasant Isabel.
Mrs. George Seaman went to
Brownsville yesterday afternoon tc
visit her relatives and friends.
Geese and ducks are plentiful just
few miles from here.
The fishing smacks made good
hauls yesterday, but did not land
in time to get their cargoes on board
the train, that would wait only a few
minutes. The shipping facilities
from this point. the Rio Grande rail-
road wholly, are not considerate
enough, it is said, of the fishermen s
interest. A half hours wait some
times would greatly benefit the ship
pers, and it is difficult to see how the
short delay could materially affect
the railroad.

son. George, of Brownsville came
down Sunday to spend few days
and took rooms at Mrs. Hills. Mas
ter George and his father are having
fine sport shooting ducks.

The next political fight to attract
the attention of the people of Texas
viii be that for the sueakership of
the State Legislature, which convenes
in January Hon. A. NJ Kennedy of
Waco and Hon. John a. Mobley of
Henderson are the most prominent
aspirants for the position. but at
this time and distance it seems that
Mr. Kennedy has somewhat the ad-
vantage and, in racing parlance. is
several lengths ahead of his oppo-
nent. Mr.. Kennedy, though young in
years, is old in Legislative work and
is well fitted for the honorable posi-
ton to which he aspires. A trained
debater on the floor, he is likewise
a fine parliamentarian and presides
with dignity and fairness over legis-
lative bodies. as past experience has
proven. Of course certain selfish in
terests will oppose his election, but
those who want only justice and fair
ness viii have nothing to fear from
Hon. A. NJ. Kennedy in the Speakers
chair.

THE LADIES TO THE RESCUE.

In preparing his sugar-cane SOU
venirs for distribution at the Water
ways convention, Secretary Magill of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley Com
mercial Club was greatly assisted in
his work by a number of Brownsville
ladies, who tied the ribbons which
had the tags that told what the SOU
tenirs represented. The ladies of
Brownsville can always be counted on
to assist in a good cause and without
their valuable assistance in this in
stance Secretary Magill would have
found himself completely swamped,
as there we're thousands of souvenirs
and each had to be tagged. The la
dies thus assisting were Mesdames
Loew, Noah Allen and Stegman;
Misses Stowe. Misses KOwalski, Miss
Hudson, Miss AIcClintock, Miss Neal,
Miss Petra Champion, Miss Cooke,
Miss Goodrich and Miss Bolack.

WILL TACKLE THE CLUBS.
Those Running in Violation of the

Those Running in Violation of the
Law Are to be Suppressed.
Austin, Texas, Nov. 16.-It is gen
rally believed that the recommended
ion regarding restrictions on the is
suance of approYals to charters made
recently in the report of w. r. Davie.
secretary of the state, will prove to be
one of the pieces of legislation es-
poused by the Legislature with great
avidity.
Practically all contending interests
on the liquor question will be enabled
to join hands in the States effort to
suppress the sOcalled club, which by
virtue of its charter, is permitted to
invade precincts out of which the
Baskin-McGregor law keeps the le-
gitomate saloon unless the requisite
number of persons in the community
have consented to the operation of a
saloon in the midst of them. The pro
posed restriction comprises a provis-
ion of the law that the saloon man
has long desired to see enacted and
enforced; in fact it has been his de-
sire to make the Club man pay the
same amount for his privileges ever
since the Baskin-McGrego law went
into effect.
From the saloon element and its
representative in the Legislature the
proposal will receive no opposition,
but on the contrary. will derive the
benefit of its support. The local OPP
tionists will certainly support the
measure heart and soul, for the club
under prevailing circumstances is per-
mitted to violate with impunity the
cardinal precepts of the local option
system, the injection of which into
the present liquor law the local OPP
tionists fought so hard to obtain as a
general compromise between the Pro-
hibitionists and the Ants.
The ProhibitiOnists and the Anti
prohibitionists will favor the meas
ure if they stay by their colors, and
with this union of strength the en-
suing Legislature will doubtless make
it impossible for the club to operate
except absolutely on legitimate
basis. 1t will have to live up to its
affidavit Just as does a foreign cor
poration, and when a violation is
charged and proved the club and its
officers must take the consequences
under the oath to which they must
swear to obtain their charter.

From present indications it seems
that San Antonio wants a railroad
down this way-Only on the condi-
ton that somebody else builds it.
Brownsville Herald.
On the contrary, San Antonio is
both anxious and willing to do her
part. Business men of the city have
taken in charge the work of raising
the bonus required and all indications
point toward the early materiaIiza-
ton of the sum needed San An
tonic Express.
The Expresses statepent does not
agree with that recently made in its
columns by Mr.. Chas. Munaly. presi-
dent of the San Antonio Business
League. Mr. Mullaly seemed very
much put out because of the sloth-
fulness of the San Antonio business
men in coming across" with their
share of the proposed bonus, and
showed in his talk that he was both
disappointed and Inundated in hav-
ing to announce that Of the $125. 200
asked of San Antonio scarcely more
than One-haIf of that amount had
been subscribed. The Herald based
its presumption on Mr. Mullaly's
statement, and The Herald has not,
so far, been presented with any evil
dence to convince it that it was in
error. Even should San Antonio
eventually subscribe $125,000, that
will only be one-fourth of what she
should subscribe

CURRuYcY REFoRM pkospECTs.

1.-The adoption by a practically unani-
nous vote of the house republicans of
the caucus bill providing for the crea-
tion of an elastic currency system Of
fers promise that some legislation on
that important question may be finally
enacted before the adjournment of the
present session. The senate has al
ways beer, exceedingly deliberate in its
consideration of amendments to- the
currency and banking laws, but it
is quite probable that the. measure that
is to be sent from the house will meet
approval, as it is clearly and con-
fessedly a temporary measure, de-
signed to serve financial needs until
such time as congress may enact legis-
lation looking to "a complete revision
of the present currency and banking
laws.
1t is generally admitted that the
proposed law will not seriously affect
the principles of either the Aldrich
bill, to which the senate has committed
itself, or the Fowler measure, which
is in favor in the house. 1t simply
legalizes, in effect, the clearing house
certificates, which were used by banks
throughout the country, but safe
guards them by having them issued
under the direction of the federal
treasury and upon securities presented
by the banks, 1t is a recognition OF
the principle that the proper baAis foi
i emergency currency is commercial
paper, the resources of the bank is
suing, the notes. 1t is the genera
opinion that the adoption by ,congres,
of the house bill will serve the needs
of the immediate future and be a lon,
step toward legislation, in the near fu
ture, along lines formulated by mel
best qualified to judge of the country
financial needs.

HIGH PRICES OF MEAT.
Decrease I'm Demand One of the
Marked ResuIts.
Indianapolis News.


The high prices of meat have naturally
resulted in a reduced demand. In Chicago
the reduction is said to be at least 50 per
cent. Perhaps the high prices will do good
in teaching people a more varied dietary.
1t is conceded that we have been in the
habit of eating too much meat. But ply
sicians and scientists demonstrate this and
newspapers disseminate the information In
vain. Meat once day is sufficient. But
the general habit with our city dwellers is
meat three times a day. In this connec-
ton, 1t is curious that while this country
produces rice we use it so little. 1t is one
of the most nutritious of foods. 1t can be
served in many ways 1t is cheap and one
of the most wholesome of all foods. AS
for taste, that is a matter of taste. We
do not, as a people, like rice greatly un-
less It is sweetened so as to be virtually
disguised. Meat, meat, always meat has
become so much part of our bill of fare
that almost everything else becomes sub
sidiary. II we should seize the present
moment of meat scarcity to direct attention
to our great rice product and endeavor to
increase it's use we should do ourselves a
great service, both as to health and
economy.
