City Election.

The election in Sinner, for city
officers was q surprise in many
ways. An unexpected interest
was aroused, and the heaviest
vote polled in ten years was rolled
up. The principal contest was
for the Office Of mayor. Messrs.
Louis Trautwein and A. G.. Lichey
were the candidates and Lichey
won by a majority of seven votes.
1t may be said of Mr.. Trautwein
that he did not desire the office
and it was sought to be forced
upon him by his friends,
The following was the com
plete vote for mayor, marshal,
secretary and aldermen:
For mayor, L. Trautwein, 80,
A. G. Lichey, 81; for aldermen,

How the Club Was Formed

This laughable comedy was
presented at the opera house last
Thursday night by the ladies of
Sinner for the benefit Of the or
gan fund of the Methodist church.
The ladies all did exceeding well,
considering that it was the first
appearance of several of them.
The play was an undoubted sue
cess and was freely applauded.
The quartette by Messrs. Thule
meyer, Beneke, Dunn and Fry,
was. the hit of the evening and
they were compelled to respond
to two encores, These gentle
men are all fine singers and it is
hoped that they will organize
permanently and give the public
many more such treats.
The character song by the
children was well conceived and
we'll carried out.
The song by Miss Hil6a Traut-
vein was beautifully rendered
and the young lady was forced to
respond to an encore. Miss
Hilda has decided talent as a
vocalist. ~ /.
A large audience wasi in attend
ance and the door receipts a.
mounted to S54.00.

were in town transacting bust
ness last Saturday.
The Baca farm near town was
sold last week to Mr. Herman
Schroeder at Ss4 per acre. The
sale was made through the real
estate firm of Kunetka Il Beneke.
Messrs. j. A. and M. e VOL
ters and Robert VOTERS and Ed.

chased 10000 acres of land in
Reagan caunty and will colonize
the same.
Mr. Emil Geiptner, represent
alive of Lavaca and Wharton
counties was in the city during
the week, visiting his daughters,
Mrs. Adolph Brosch and Mrs.
Aug. Karasek.
Mr.. John Kubena, who under
went an operation for Appendix
citis, has fully recovered and is
able to be out again. The opera.
ton was performed by Doctors
Schulze & Gray.
There is a, great deal of recll4
less bicycle riding being done in
Sinner lately. They go at full
speed on the sidewalks and rush
by pedestrians without giving a
note Of warning. A single mis-
step would cause a collision and
result in a permanent injury to
the person walking. Look out,
boys; lie more careful.
The Sinner oil mill has com
pleted first class machine shop
in connection with the mill. 1t
is in a separate building and ev-
erything is up.to-date. No need
now to send off for repairs for
machinery. 1t can all be done
right here in Sinner. They also
carry a line of supplies for re-
furnishing automobiles.
Mr.. Frank Knight, special ad
vertising agent of the South
western Telegraph and Tele-
| phone Co., with headquarters at
Dallas, was in the city last week
looking after the up-building of
the business and especially the
Improvement of the rural phones.
Sinner now has six farmers lines
in complete operation. There is
hardly a farmer of any promi-
hence buttihas a phone in the
house and all find it a great con-
venience.

make an interesting and imposing
show at the same. And by right of

of priority in choice of the best site
and largest space for Brazils ex-
hibit."
Upon the return of John c. Ohm

anna California exposition to San Diego
selection Of the space for Brazil will
occupy during the exposition will be
made and other nations will also be
notified that the exposition officials
are ready to appropriate space for
them.
The official invitation from Presi-
dent Taft to the Latin-American coun-
tries to participate in the nama-Cal-
ifornia exposition doubtless will be is
sued early in the fall of the present
year, and it is anticipated by the ex.
position officials that the republic of
Mexico and the republics of Central
and South America will respond with
requests for space similar to the re-
quest that Brazil already has made.
