STRAW HATS.
We have a word to say to you about
them. Our stock of them for Men and
Boys is the largest ever shown here. We
have them in every conceivable style, in
white and colors, at almost any price. The
continued wet weather has retarded the
sale of straw hats to some extent, and we
have decided that the stock must now be
sold, and we have reduced prices on all of
them. It will be advantageous to every
buyer to look at our stock and get the ben-efit
of our low prices.
Mm Straw Hats from 25c to $2.00.
Boys Straw Hats from 25c to $2.00.
Mens Straw Hats from 25c to $3.00.
We are sole agents for the celebrated
Knox stiff and silk hats that are the best

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

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
