MINE DISASTER.
Aurora. Ma June 14.—Three men
were killed in a mine disaster at Staffs
City today.
A CLEAN POST.
LIEUTENANT JOHNNY TOBIN HAS
SAM HOUSTON A BEAUTY
Had a Large Force of Men at Work all
Day Yesterday--Clo*hing and Shoes
Issued —Post Notes.
Old Fort Sam Houston was given a
cleaning up yesterday as it has not had
in many a day. First Lieut. Johnny
Tobin of the Belknaps was appointed
police officer of the post Saturday and
he determined to clean things up right.
Yesterday he asked 'Col. Hare for 140
men and he got them every one. This
large force he put to work to get the
post in proper shape and how well he
succeeded any one can tell who will
take a glance around the neat looking
military reservation.
Every nook and corner where a bit
ot trash had accumulated was raked
out and placed in proper shape. The
entire post however was not finished
but the regular old guard fatigue will
do the rest today. After this now that
the post is in proper shape Lieut. Tobin
will have easy sailing in keeping the
place in proper shape.
The new shoes for the “barefoot”
contingent of the regiment arrived from
Austin yesterday and were distributed.
There were 400 pair of these shoes and
they were soon exhausted. They are
the shoes manufactured in this city by
the San An'tonio shoe factory and first
shipped to Austin and then back here.
The shoe is an excellent article and was
favorably commented on yesterday.
The men commend it as a very easy
shoe as well as a respectable looking
article. Shoes were only distributed
to those of each company who were
sadly in need ot footwear.
Likewise about 240 uniforms were dis-
tributed yesterday. They were some
uniforms already on hand at the post
which Captain Stevens obtained au-
thority to distribute previous to the
arrival of the other uniforms from
Washington. These uniforms were on-
ly distributed to the men actually in
need of clothing.
Several men were also issued blankets
yesterday.
Colonel Hare has heard nothing from
the clothing and supplies supposed to
be on the road with the exception of
receiving a bill of lading yesterday for
a few chevrons for non-commissioned
officers. From this it is supposed that
tihe other clothing will be here in very
short orde as it is thought all the
stuff was shipped at once and the chev-
rons took the lead on the road in some
manner.
The boys will soon have a canteen
where they can quench their thirst on
“tick.” The post council ot adminis-
tration met this morning to consider
the advisability ot establishing a can-
teen as directed in the following order
issued yesterday afternoon.
“Fort Sam Houston.
"San Antonio Texas.
•'June 13. 1898.
“Orders No. 48.
“A post council of administration is
ordered to meet at this post at 10:00 a.
m. tomorrow or as soon as practicable
and report on the practicability of es-
tablishing an exchange for this com-
mand.
“Detail for council: Maj. A. A. De-
Loffre surgeon U. S. A.; Maj. E. S.
Easley First Texas volunteer cavalry:
Maj. E. A. Pearson First Texas volun-
teer cavalry.
“By order of Colonel Hare.
“JA-MES M. BURROUGHS
“First Lieut and Adj. First U. S. Vol-
unteer Texas cavalry."
If Captain R. R. Stevens. U. S. A.
quartermaster of Fort Sam Houston
does not earn his salary from Uncle
Sam. it would be hard to And a man who
does. The captain has been one of the
busiest men in the army ever since the
department headquarters left here but
still he goes about his work w'lth that
patience and endurance characteristic
of his gentlemanly manner without
complaining. The captain was never
had a snap since coming out of West
Point a second lieutenant many years
ago as his services have mostly been
in the far west with the Indians but
since being transferred for his ability
and tact to the quartermaster's depart-
ment he has not been so overworked a?
right here in this post. He first had
to go through the enormous task of
transferring all the property of the de-
partment headquarters from here to
Atlanta; then came the removal of the
battery and its property to Galveston
followed in rapid succession by the re-
moval of the Eighteenth Infantry and
Fifth cavalry. Then came the cap-
tain’s order to buy 900 horses for the
Rough Riders and fit t'he regiment out
with equipments followed by another
to buy horses for rhe Texas cavalry.
This was hardly completed until he was
notified to get ready to receive the Tex-
as cavalry at this post and now the.
captain has that regiment to fit out
and equip. To all this has been an
enormous amount ot work atttached
as army red tape makes it necessary for
Captain Stevens to personally handle
and get receipts for everything going
through his department as he is re-
sponsible for it. Besides all this the
captr <n has his thousand and one other
small airairs of the post to attend to
and is kept on the jump constantly.
Anyone believing the Ifttle captain has
a snap would have the idea banished
from their craniums should they spend |

Brick Wall Almost Strikes Dr. Reese
and Mr. Kuehn. '”T''
This morning at 11:30 o'clock the
top bricks of a one-story brick office
building occupied by Dr. B. S. Reese
at 108 oouth Alamo street fell to the
sidewalk striking the awning and car-
rying It away and narrowly missi-ng
the doctor and Mr. Emil Kuehn atall-
or who has a shop in the same build-
ing and who was standing in front of
the doctor’s office talking to him.
About 50 brick constituting the de-
corative front of the building fell to
the sidewalk and it was through the
agility of the two men in getting out
of the way that they were saved from
injury. The doctor says the building
has been in an unsafe condition for
some time past. The front of Mr.
Kuehn’s shop is of the same material
and Is also in a dangerous condition.
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
The lowest pressure remains in the
•Xtreme western portion of Texas and

An area of high pressure has ap-
peared In the northwest and is moving
in a southeasterly direction.
Slightly lower temperatures are re-
ported from stations In the upper
Missouri valley. There has been a
slight rise in the temperature in the
southwest. H. H. CURLEY

THE WAR TAX.
The United States war tax on beer
cigars cigarettes billiard tables
etc. went Into effect today. This city
was not appreciably affected thereby
except that saloons will now pay the
breweries 31 per barrel more for beer
and 5 cents more on pints and 10 cents
more on quarts of bottled beer. Cigars
and cigarettes come now 33.60 and 31
per thousand respectively and saloon
men also are charged 36 per annum ex-
tra on license to sell such articles.
Billiard and pool tables are also taxed
heavier.
It is thought the tax will fall heav-
iest on small beer saloon keepers who
will not get their weekly rebate on
quantity of beer sold.
