Mr. Peabody tonight issued the fol-

and I enter upon the discharge of my
duties as the representatlve solely of
the policyholders, chosen unanimously
by their elected representatives, the
board of trustees. The new admlrrls-
acts of the government proved it was
attempting to suppress the emancipa-
tion movement and demonstrate that
present freedom could only be obtained
by an armed struggle in which the
progressive elements were invited to
join.

As a result of an increased train service upon the part of the International and Great
Northern railroad. The Statesman management is pleased to announce to the reading
as well as the advertising public that The Statesman will have an opportunity of reaching
its out of town subseribers much earlier th an formerly. In consequence of this in-
creased train service, the first southbound train will pass through Austin at 3:30 in
. , the morning, and will land The Statesma n in the city of San Antonio not later than
7 o’clock^ giving plenty of time for before-b reakfast delivery of The Statesman in San
Antonio proper and also permit of connect ions with the Southern Pacific and San An-
tonio and Aransas Pass railroads as well as the International and Great Northern a
Laredo connection. In thia matter The Statesman will be delivered to the citizens of
San Antonio as soon, if not sooner, than th e local papers of that city, and in addition
thereto, will be started on its way to Mexi co and. points along the gulf hours earlier
than formerly. All this increase in the availabl territory of The Statesman will natur-
ally be of benefit to the advertiser and will give the paper the advantage of an extended
circulation that has hitherto been interfere d with somewhat in consequence of bad train
connections at San Antonio.
While fortunate in making this saving of time going south, The Statesman, in
consequence of having a train out of here at 7 o’clock in the morning going north, is
also enabled to reach Hound Bock, Taylor, G eorgetown and all intermediate points from
four to five hours earlier than usual, all of which assures. The Statesman a much
