MORE ABOUT PAVING.
The Tribune learns that the blocks being
used in the repairs to the Tremont street
pavement are of cypress, and that they
are the same material used in the original
paving, which was not creosoted, as stated
in yesterday’s Tribune.
From the same source it is learned that
the street railway company has been noti-
fied to repair the Market street pavement,
but has not done so,. Articles 441 and 442 of
the revised ordinances provide that when
a railway company shall refuse to make
such repairs, the city shall do the work
and collect the amount from the railway
company. The city has not done the work
on Market, because there are no funds
available for the purpose, it is stated.

CARD FROM MR. McBRIDE..
To The Tribune.
I noticed in your yesterday’s paper that
I was booked as one of the speakers at the
Fly rally this evening. TO' this I have no
objection, and will be.there if possible,
whether as a speaker or not. But I do ob-
ject to be considered as posing as a leader
among the labor or any other element. I
wish it understood that in this case, as in
all others, I voice the dictates of my own
conscience. DAN McBRIDE.

Mother is Not a Spendthrift.
She possesses that inherent disposition to pay only as much for an article as it is worth
upon a competitive basis. She does not use any particular brand of goods because her
grandmother used it, or because she sees it handsomely pictured in magazines, or even be-
cause it simply gives her satisfaction, but in an intelligent way she looks at the PRICE
“ tlle QUALITY. With both eyes wide open, she is ever looking for the BEST
QUALITY attheMQST HONEST PRICE. If three brands of goods that give her equal
satisfaction are offered her, she does hot select the one she sees advertised most, but the
Pae offered at the LOWEST PRICE. In that she shows good, hard common sense. Again,
if, alter trying a brand of goods offered to her for less money than she has been accus-
tomeu to pay, she finds it fails to meet her requirements, she sticks a pin there and makes
a mental memorandum. She wouldn’t buy that brand again at any price. With her oven
as a rudder, she steers safely between the reefs, “extortionate prices” on the one hand
and “unsatisfactory goods” on the other. 1
“GOOD LUCK” Baking Powder, with its HONEST QUALITY at THE HONEST PRICE,
appeals to her reason and her instinctive desire to make the expenditures for her table in
a judicious manner, as well as to her palate. In buying “GOOD LUCK” she pays only for
good, pure, double-strength, “one-teaspoonful-to-a-quart” Baking Powder. No charge is
made for “reputation” or “handsome advertisements.” Some “reputations” come too high
by the pound to satisfy the thoughtful consumer. “GOOD LUCK” is the consumer’s friend.

A Kentucky Father on the Track of His
Daughter’s Murderer.
Paducah, Ky# May 12.—John Ray, ex-
sheriff of Carlisle county, Ky., is on a man
hunt. He is now somewhere in Southeast-
ern Missouri, searching for a man, whose
name he refuses to disclose-.
Nearly five years ago, Ray’s two daugh-
ters, aged 16 and 21,-went blackberry hunt-
ing, near Bardwell, Ky. Four hours later
they were found dead. Their throats had
been cut and they had been outraged. Two
thousand men scoured the country for the
murderer. Joseph Moore, a negro, who
was captured in Missouri, confessed, and
was hanged by a mob at Bardwell.
The father p£- the girls contended that
more than one man was implicated in the
killing of his children. Sunday he found
proof which confirmed his suspicion. He
also discovered clews which pointed to a
certain white man.
Ray declares that the negro lynched was
only an accomplice. He traced the sus-
pect to Mayfield, Ky.- Thursday the fugi-
tive fled to Missouri, with Ray only a few
hours behind him. The father is terribly
wrought up, and swears summary punish-
ment.

No one who has not been out to Olympia
within the last week or 10 days can nave
any conception of the transformation
that has been wrought there. The car-
penters have been busy for a month and
now the painters and other finishers are
getting in their last licks. Saturday night
the big structure will be thrown open to
the public, and then Galvestonians can
boast of having the largest and finest
seaside resett in the south, for that is
what Olympia will be.
The building- of a roof over the huge
undoubtedly improved
Olympia wonderfully in appearance, but
the most appreciable benefit from the va-
rious alterations is observable on the con-
cert, or second floor. This was formerly
a dancing pavilion; now it is like a mam-
moth summer garden. Instead of a de-
pressed band stand in. the center as. there
was formerly, there is now a handsome
elevated stand which will be used by the
band during concerts, but which is large
enough for use as a stage when conven-
tions are held at Olympia. Potted plants,
ans other floral decorations are tastefully
arranged about this floor, and when flags
and bunting .are put up and all the fur-
nishings are in position it will be a charm-
ing place.
This fl<5br has been so arranged that it
can be utilized for a multitude of pur-
poses. Already engagements have been
made for two banquets there and un-
aoubtedly it will be the scene of many
large and important gatherings. While
the sea breezes have free sweep through
the building the great roof affords ample
protection either from the heat of the
sun s rays or from rain.
This concert floor promises to be one of
the great features of Olympia. The lower
floor has been divided off for the restau-
rant on the east and north sides, while
the south and west will be used for the
bar. Dumb waiters have been built for
carrying foods and liquids from the lower
floor to the concert pavilion, and persons
who are sitting on the second floor listen-
ing to the music can be served with food
or any other kind of refreshments just
the same as if they went to the restaurant
Proper. A big kitchen, 25x25 feet, has been
built to the north of the Olympia building.
Yesterday Albert Durrouse of the Bon
Ton was busy getting things in shape for
the opening on Saturday. He said laugh-
ingly that he had to buy out a crockery
store to get dishes and other utensils
enough for the big restaurant, but he
will be prepared to feed 500 persons at one
time whenever the occasion demands.
The best idea, of what Olympia will be
able to do is given when it is stated that
4500 persons can be accommodated on the
concert floor and 5000 on the lower floor
at one time, and at the same time 250 bath-
ers can be provided for on the third story
of the big structure. For the lighting of
the building 452 incandescent lamps are
used, while there are five arc lights to be
placed above the surf in front of the build-
ing, and three will be hung to the north
of the building. As globes of various
-colors will be used on the lamps Olympia
will be a sight to behold at night.
To the east of the Olympia building and
fronting on the walk that leads from the
entrance there has been constructed a
sort of theater, which will be used by
the kinetoscope and phonograph people.
This building will have a seating capac-
ity of 500, and is but one of many side
shows that will be within the 10-acre in-
closurb which makes up the Olympia
grounds.
James Prendergast, the proprietor of
Olympia, in speaking about his plans this
morning, said: “I believe Olympia will be
the best advertisement Galveston ever had
for the attraction of people to this city.
Painted as it is and decorated as it will
be, it will be one of the prettiest struc-
tures in the country. The concerts that
will be given will be of a quality that will
attract music lovers. I will cater to all of
the people. There will be soda witter for
sale, just the same as there will be beer,
and ice cream as well as regular meals.
I hope to make Olympia the great popular
resort of this part of the country. While
I will personally look after the affairs,
the management of the bar will be under
the direction of Bob Shook. Everything
will be sold at the same price as down
town, and everybody’s comfort will be
looked after.”
E. C. Green, the contractor who built
Olympia, says material for the shoot the
chute has been ordered and that novelty
will be ready for use about June 20. He
also has orders to build a nier out into
the gulf in front of Olympia. This pier
will have a floor space at the end 60x150
feet and will be at the service of those
who like to watch bathers.
Altogether, it’s getting very much Coney
Island out on the beach.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE CITY DEFICIENCY.
To The Tribune.
Since my inquiry of yours of the Sth as
regards this city’s deficiency, I note in
yours of the 10th “Taxpayer’s” very con-
servative and honest criticism of the mode
pursued to gloss over or explain away our
apparent financial deficiencies; and again
troubling you with these matters, repre-
sent that among your readers are 700 or
800 taxpayers, 20 or 30 capitalists, who, in
order to aid the police, fire and other city
working force to live and to discountingly
become owners of seven months city time
checks, together with, perhaps, 40 or 50
grocers and house owners, who alsO' haa
to take said time checks. All these are
studying and are interested in the solving
of this city’s deficiency, asking all sorts of
questions. For instance, your official bud-
get report of March 1, 1897, claims $634,-
956.83 for twelve months’ expenditures.
Two-thirds of this sum is $423,304.55. This
month this city will be eight months in
arrears, even if the taxpayers do not en-
join against the biennial tax raise by the
proposed $200,000 bond issue, by which it
is intended to liquidate the floating indebt-
edness accumulated during our present
council incumbency, and place the incom-
ing council upon a cash paying basis. Of
course, there are some offsets to be credit-
ed from the sinking fund investments, wa-
ter works, etc., yet not apparently suffi-
cient. I again urge, as “Taxpayer” does,
an honest, fair and true statement from
those who owe this duty tous.

BASE BALL CHAT.
Horace Nettleton, the local substitute
umpire, officiated in the absence of Bren-
nan, who didn’t appear. Nettleton hasn’t
much of a voice, but his judgment is in
good working order. His decisions were
perhaps better on the average than those
of either Clark or Land.
Kiopf was painfully injured shortly be-
fore the game. While practicing in left
field he was struck in the groin with a
ball. He toppled over and Nance had to
go to his assistance. Kiopf went to the
club house for a while and then reap-
peared. He was pale and apparently in
great pain. Throughout the game he suf-
fered considerably, but his work was up
to the usual high standard.
Huston has fine command of a wet ball.
That is why he pitched yesterday. The
majority of pitchers can not control a
slippery ball, but Jack is one of the ex-
ceptions.
There are Hills enough in this Texas
league to start a small sized club. And all
four of the Hills are pretty good ones.
Badger must have discovered a new
kind of eye water from the manner he has
been lacing the ball lately.
Bobby. Burns got in his usual number of
kicks.
Beecher had a very good day of it, mak-
ing two hits and getting five outs and
seven assists.
Those San Tones ought to lose soon.
They hang on too persistently.

A PLA.CS FOR HEALTH.
The Most Beneficial Waters and Baths iff
the World.
Within a few miles of Galveston has
grown a city—Sour Lake townsite—so en-
chanting and so beautiful that it seems
like the work of a magician.
Nature’s magic sanitarium, Sour Lake,
is now one of the most delightful health
and pleasure resorts in the country.
Developed from the point of view of a
sanitarium, Sour Lake is unsurpassed.
Nature and nature’s God have here been
lavish in the expenditure of creative force.
The myriad of invalids who each year
seek a respite from their ailments at
trans-Atlantic Spas can here find the
equal of Carlsbad, Baden Baden or any of
the Alpine springs.
“What diseases are the waters of Sour
Lake best adapted to cure?” is a natural
question for the invalid to ask into whose
hands this little article may fall. Again
they will ask, “Have others been benefited
or cured, and who are they?” These ques-
tions we can but partially answer in the
limited space at our command—and at the
close of this narrative will be found a list
of diseases for the cure of which Sour
Lake is unsurpassed.
Baruch says: “This country boasts of
mineral springs rivaling, if not surpass-
ing, in virtues the most celebrated ones in
Europe, and if more attention were paid
to the hygienic and social conditions at
our health resorts, the results obtained
would be fully equal to those obtained on
the old continent.”
Dr.-Mallet of the university of Virginia,
in speaking of Sour Lake, says: “Consid-
ered as a sanitarium this locality appears
to have many incidental advantages—es-
pecially a mild climate, pleasant and of
good repute on the score of general
healthfulness for residence in both sum-
mer and winter.”
The waters may be classed as saline,
acid and sulphurous, containing sulphur,
iron, sodium, alum, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, etc., in the form of sulphates,
chlorides and carbonates, with free sul-
phurous and sulphuric acids. The earth is
Impregnated with these various minerals,
saturated with petroleum, and the waters
charged with gases—sulphurated hydro-
gen gas, and a gas of a probable mephytic
origin, each and every ingredient earthy,
aqueous and gaseous playing an impor-
tant part in the cure of disease, each hav-
ing a special function to perform.
Rheumatism, that Protean enemy of
mankind, sparing no age, sex nor condi-
tion, striking the hale young man or beau-
tiful woman and making them cripples for
life, “till Charon do boat them beyond the
Styx,” yields to our waters and mud as if
by magic.
Eczema, and more than 50 per cent of
the southern people have it, a disease
which wearies patient and physician alike
by its persistent course and resistance to
all treatment, is invariably cured here,
and that in very short order.
Dyspepsia—bad digestion, with which the
majority of mankind of the present day is
afflicted—due to our fast American way of
living, highly nervous organisms, highly
seasoned food, etc., is cured at Sour Lake
just as often as the patient will give the
waters a fair and judicious trial. The
same may be said of chronic diarrhoea, and
in fact, all inflammations of mucuos sur-
faces.
Diseases of women—All non-surgical dis-
eases of the female genitalia of an inflam-
matory nature yield readily to the use of
the waters.
Chronic nasal catarrh, which is the cause
of nearly all our deafness, and with which
90 per cent of our population is afflicted,
and which is the bete noir of the general
practitioner, causing the patient untold
misery and hours of mental agony, can
be entirely eradicated by a proper use of
our waters.
Chronic malaria, so prevalent in south-
ern latitudes, causing enlarged livers and
spleens, impaired digestion, jaundice, etc.,
vanishes as rapidly by the use of these wa-
ters as the mists before the oncoming sun.
This does not comprise all the diseases
which are cured here or even benefited,
but for those above mentioned the resident
physician is positive concerning the effica-
cy of the waters and so sanguine is he of
a cure in each and every case that he
promises to take each and every individual
who comes here afflicted with the above,
put them on a line of treatment, and if
they follow his directions without being
benefited he will not charge one cent for
his services. Can anything be more fair?
Try the efficacy of the waters and see if
he does not speak the truth.
In addition to these troubles can be
recommended the waters, mud and tar of
Sour Lake for the following troubles:
Phthisis, alcohol habitues. insomnia,
nervous troubles, paralysis, specific blood
poison, gonorrhoea, gleet, piles, anal fis-
sures, scrofula, asthma, kidney troubles
and hay fever.
The following prominent medical men
and others who have had opportunities of

Sour Lake is the most beautiful and per-
fect city ever laid out. The plan is such
that hundreds of homes may be built
fronting on the pleasure parks and in easy
communication with the lake and springs.
All the avenues, or “rays,” as we call
them, lead directly toward the lake—the
center of attraction—which is in the cen-
ter of the star shaped park, around which
the city is platted. This park contains 160
acres of pleasure grounds. Cross streets,
or “roads,” form complete circles around
these grounds, making beautiful drives.
The Sour Lake property embraces 1000
acres of land, with the lake and hotel near
the center of the tract.
Lots have been staked off, which will be
sold for prices ranging from $100 to $500
each.
The officers of the Sour Lake company
are: T. W. Ford, president; James H.
Freeman, vice president; James E. New-
ton, secretary; Dr. Thomas J. Boyles,
treasurer.

formation apply to the Sour Lake Com-
