The Board of Trade regular meeting will be Wednes-day night, May 7, at city hall. Keep the two meetings in mind. Board op Trade. Advertising Waeo. Mr. Editor: I have been deeply impressed with what an Old Citizen says about advertising Waco through our schools. Waco ought to be proud ot her schools, but how sad “a prophet is not without honor Save in his own country.” It is amazing how many people in Waco are ignorant of the fact that our Baylor university stands ahead of all the universities of the south. And no one thing has done more to advertise Waco than Baylor university. I have never been in any nook and corner of Texas where the aged and indomitable president has not been pleading for Waco and Bay-lor. The celebrated professer ofVan-derbilt, Dr. Tynes, hearing Dr. Burle-son’s address before the National Ed-ucational association at Louisville, Ky., in 1878, said Waco and Texas ought to pay your traveling expenses and get you to deliver that lecture in all our leading cities. I never before had any conception of the wisdom and heroism and greatness of Texas. A distinguished Waco judge in traveling in Colorado and Washington Territory was surprised to find that Baylor uni-versity was better known than any-thing or <>ny man in Wae«. I second the motion of an Old Citizen that they use the coming annual examination of Baylor university, Waco Female col-lege and other schools as a grand ad-vertisement for Waco. Viator. On the Wing. There appeared on our streets this morning about 10 o’clock an affection-ate couple inquiring for the county clerk’s office. On missing the building and appearing in the city hall there was a few anxious fellows and a minis-ter headed off the couple at the court house and awaited. But lo! that anx-ious brunette fearing the Lord Ullin on the track, hurried herself and affianced off for the Central train. A Small Fire. A small negro cabin, on Burnett street, caught fire this afternoon about 2 o’clock but was put out before an alarm was turned on, andjbefore very much damage was done. The orgin of the fire was not known. City Engineer King will recommend to the city council the building of a stone sewer from Eighth street to the 'iver on Franklin. The sewer is to be 4 feet in diameter with catch basins at each street intersection and will cost about $7000. Dissolution Notice. The firm of R. M. Chamberlain & Co. is this day dissolved, the under-sighed withdrawing from the firm. T. E. Davis. April 30, 1890. CAPITAL ctjllings. To Dam The Colorado—The Alliance Trou-ble. Special to the News. Austin, May 5.—The Llano Smelt-ing and Refining Works, capital stock $100,000, filed charter this morning. The election on issuing $1,400,000 of bonds to construct a dam across the Colorado is progressing quietly under the Australian system. The system is giving intense satisfaction to all but the heelers and strikers. The vote will practically be unanimous on the dam. A statement of facts in the Alliance suit to be brought at Balias alleges that the Alliance exchange has mis-appropriated $1,200,01)0. The suit will be instituted against the Alliance Com-mercial Agency and others to recover all property in Dallas and all merchan-dise that may be on hand and the Mercury office, the aggregate value of which is placed at $300,000. Eminent lawyers will be employed in the case. DALLAS DOTS. A General Strike Inaugurated—Holding Meeting’s, Etc. Special to the News. Dallas, May 5.—A general strike was inaugurated here this morning among the carpenters, painters, paper hangers and planing mill employes. The carpenters demand nine hours to constitute a day’s labor with no reduc-tion in the present scale of wages. The painters ask for 30 cents per hour; paper hangers want 85 cents per hour. Some contractors are disposed to meet these demands liberally, and it is be-lieved the majority are, but many are not. About fifty planiDg mill men are out and only one planing mill is run-ning to-day without interruption. The strikers are holding meetings and receiving reports from the boss work-men. SAN ANTONIO SIFTINGS. Strik Threatened-High Water—Branch Offices- Special to the News. San Antonio, May 5.—The carpen-ters and stone and brick masons are making a strong effort to secure the adoption of eight hours for a days work here. A general strike is threatened and a mass meeting of the workmen was held last night, but no definite action was taken. The high waters have cut off direct communication with houston over the Southern Pacific and the Houston and Texas Central. Branch offices of the Lombard In-vestment company are to be establish-ed'here and at Dallas. Advertising Novelties. The News Printing Company has arranged to supply the business men of Waco with advertising novelties, including match safe cards, match safe boxes, fans, bank books, illustrated advertising cards, etc., etc. Our re presentative will call on the business men in a few days with a set of sam-pies and solicit their orders. Patron-ize home industry and keep your money at home. The catch basin at the corner of Sixth and Dutton streets was washed out on account of defects in that now celebrated Sixth street sewer.
