Sunday afternoon while
and Mrs. Wm. Haftfiel of
Austin, Feb. 8.—A bill to pro-
vide for the establishment of as
many as three state cement
plants was introduced in the
senate Friday. The measure
was signed by 13 senators, but
it is sponsored , by Senator Rus-
sek of Schulenburg. Senator
Russek feels confident that with
thirteen senators signing the
bill he will get the support of
three more to give the bill a
majority in the senate.
The bill, carrying an appropri-
ation of $1,500,000, would place
the locating power in the hands
of the chairman of the prison
Seven applicants for the post-
mastership at New Ulm, braved
the “Ill wind that blows nobody
good” last Saturday, while the
temperature was below freezing
point. Messrs. C. W. Howe, E.
A. Schulze, Louis O. Muenzler,
Paul Weiss, and Arnim Sell took
the examination at Sealy while
Willie and Max Wennenweser
took theirs at Brenham. It
seems the postoffice department
at Washington left it optional
with the applicants to take the
examination at either Sealy or
Brenham.

Unconfirmed, but the report
given reliably we believe, is
that the Texas Power and Light
Company has purchased two
acres of ground just beyond the
Fair Grounds, from Alex v Ro-

that neighborhood for the com-
pany, with the intent to place

The additional is that a sta-

Post Oak Point were away from
home, their residence caught
fire and when discovered by the
children the roof of the building
was already collapsing. Only a
small fraction of the house and
kitchen furniture was saved.
The origin of the fire is sup-;
posed to have been caused by a !
defective flue or from sparks
that blew onto the roof from
the kitchen flue. The weather'
was extremely cold but dry, ancl <
a swift wind was blowing from i
the north at the time. The loss
is considerable and only partially!
covered by insurance, we have
