/all camival proposition !»• booked for
a meeting thia afternoon at 4 o’clock
at the Austin club, rocms, when it is
vesy likely that some dennite action
will be taken in the matter.
All merchants who have been ap-
proabhed on the subject seem to be
very much in favor of the proposition.
Mr. Marsh’s proposal was fully out-
lined in The Statesman Use week. His
idea is for all the merchants to join
hands and put on a display exhibit for
three or four days thle fall for the
benent of the people of this section of
the country. It will properly be called
a merchants’ carnival and will be con-
fined exclusively to the respective
stores of the various merchants who
participate in same, and not on some
show grounds, as some seem to think.
Several of the most prominent mer-
chants In.the city are on the committec
that meets this afternoon and It is very
probable that at the close of the meet-
ing some information of Importance
relative to the proposed carnival will
be given out. The proposition has the
endorsement of both the business
league and the board of directors of
the league, and as far as is known there
is no one who has yet opposed the pro-
posal of Mr. Marsh.

the city council will sustain the may-

He thinks that about seven or eight
of the aldermen will change their votes
and go with the mayor. It may be
that more than the expected number
will go with the majority and kill the
ordinance. Several of the councilmen
have examined the legal status of the
ordinance, and have come to the con-
clusion that It will not hold water if
passed, for reasons that have been
pointed out. When the ordinance was
passed several days ago there was no
doubt in the minds of the city coun-
cil as to the legality of the contract
which was authorized. That public

enthusiasm. Secretary Taft was given
a reception this afternoon at the Amer-'
chn consulate by the local merchants.!
Before leaving the city he said that he j
thought that report* of the Japanese:
anti-peace demonstration had been
greatly exaggerated in America. He ;
and his party had traveled all through !
Japan and had found no t Wee of an
anti foreign or antj-Americun feeling. |
While a prominent American party had
been involved in a Tokyo mob, he
(bought it was because the party hap-
pened to be caught in the mob and not
because they were Americans.
Other churches beside . American
churches had been burned. There was
a specil reason in each case, but no
general anti-foreign feeling was respon-
sible.
Secretary Taft said he had examined
the Chines* boycott. The Chinese, he
explained want American goods badly
and have already lost $15,000,000 by the
boycott, and are finding out that they
are cutting off their own noses to spite

The people in the region of the coun-
try south of here are greatly exercised
over the report of the agent of the
postoffice department , who recently
caused the turning down of their peti-
tion for an extension of rural route
No. 3 from Round Rock. They claim
they can not understand why the agent
should have reported that the proposed
extension passes through "a mountain-

Manager Fred Fisher of the Univer-
sity football team, will leave this morn-
ing for Waco to make arrangements
with the Baylor and .Ad Ran football
teams for games with the University
for the coming season. Manager Fisher
will be out of the city for several days.
He stated last night that practically
the schedule for the coming season had
been arranged. Several preliminary
games with home teams, including St.
Edwards, will open the season. The
first outside game of the season will be
played here with Ad Ran on October 74
The game of the year will be played
here with the Haskill Indians on Oc-
tober. As the lucky Indians have come
off victorious on three different occa,
sions, the fourth game with the red'
skins is full of interest for the home
team. The Indians are not so over
confident of the victory. At last year's
game the day was won to them by the
ingenuity of one man. Baylor follows
this game on October 20. Then will
come another good game with Van-
derbilt on October 28. The University
of Arkansas will meet the Long Horns
on November 1, and Oklahoma will be
met two days later. The next game of
note will be with the university of
Kentucky on November 10. The old
time rivals, Sewanee, will meet the
Texas team on November 17. The sea-
son will close with A. & M. on Thanks-
giving.

LETTER TO JOHNw. THOMPSON,
Austin, Texas.
Dear Sr: A painter in Erle, Pa, Air
John Brand, first painted Devoe in
1900.
No more lead-and-oil for him! He
can do a better job at less cost with
Devoe. •
Attributes his increase of business to
that. . ,
That’s all there is to his yarn, unless
he goes into particulars.
This, for instance: Devoe covers
more, and so costs less. The reason is:
lead-and-zinc is better than lead; and
machinery-grinding is better than
hanna this: Devoe lasts longer. The
reason is: lead and zinc is better than
lead; and machinery-grinding 13 better
than hand. Yours WLvoE a co .
