Protnun for San Jacinto Day.
Several thousand programs of
the fourth annual reunion of
Washington Camp, No. 239, U.
C. V., which will be held at
Firemen's Park on San Jacinto
day, have been printed and are
being sent out through this and
adjoining counties. It is ex-
pected that this occasion will
bring to the city one of the lar-
gests crowds of visitors that it
has ever been Brenham's privi-
lege and pleasure to entertain.
These visitors will come expect-
ing to be royally entertained,
and not one of them should be
permitted to go away feeling that
this result was not abundantly
accomplished. The coming to
gether of the old gray-haired
batle scarred veterans of the
lost cause in annual reunion is in
itself enough to inspire the war-
mest encouragement and most
hearty cooperation of the city's
citizenship in making the old
soldiers enjoy themselves. But
if any increased impetus is
needed it is to be found in the
fact that while the day marks the
fourth annual reunion of the
camp it also commemorates the
anniversary of the most impor-
tant date in our State's history,
the day that freed Texas from the
despotism of Santa Anna and
blazed the way for the lone star
of freedom to become the bright-
est luminary in the galaxy of the
union.

The spectators in the grand
stand were not so numerous as at
the previous game; nevertheless
it was a very fair attendance and
manifested considerable interest
in the game from start to finish.
There were also quite a number
of spectators outside the park
fence who took advantage of
convenient trees and house tops
to watch the contest.
Aside from a left handed catch
In the sixth inning by Nance who
played right field for the visitors,
the game was devoid of any spec-
ial features.
What ever deficit may exist in
Brenham's playing qualifications
is amply made up by a super-
fluity of guying ability on the
part of our fans and rooters.
The next game on the home
diamond will be a series with

The Sand Crabi Win the Last of the
Series From the Maroons.
Thursday afternoon at the
new park the Maroons again
went down in defeat before the
hard-hitting, fleet-footed Sand
Crabs, by a score of twenty-one
to nine. In spite of the defeat of
the home team by heavy odds
the game was a much more
satisfactory one to both the
Maroons and their friends than
any that have yet beon played.
For the first half of the game it
was nip and tuck between the
teams, and at the close of the
fourth inning the score stood five
and five. For tho first time in
the series the Sand Crabs ap-
peared considerably worried and
slightly in doubt as to the re-
sult.
They recovered instantly, how-
ever, shutting out the Maroons in
the fifth inning and adding six
runs to their side of the score
card. In this inning Lacourage,
center field for the home team,
made a running catch for a fly
ball, and.won several hand claps
from the grand stand. He was
dispossessed of his play, however,
by a decision of the umpire that
it was a "pick-up."
Both sides were on their metal
in the sixth inning, tho Sand
Crabs making five runs to the
home team's three, and making
the score sixteen to eight
in Galveston's favor. After this
the Maroons failed to score until
the ninth inning when they made
"one stingy run." Galveston
made three runs in the seventh
and two in the eighth, making
their Bcore twenty-one without
playing their half of the ninth
inning.
The game by innings stood:
123456789
Galveston 130 1 6532 0—21

The Plenary Committee Hard at Work
and the Sub-Committees Falling
in Line.
Ever since the Fire Depart-
ment decided that at all hazard,
sink or swin, survive or perish,
Brenham should have the Mai-
Fest this year, there has been a
most pronounced awakening of
public interest in the matter. New
zest has been instilled into the
enterprise, the local pride of our
citizens has been aroused and
stimulated until it now appears
that Brenham not only intends to
have a Mai-Fest this year, but
furthermora intends the present
carnival to be the equal if not
the superior of any previously
held. To quote Major Abe Har-
rison, whose enthusiasm is un-
bounded and whose efforts are
untiring: "The sixteenth annual
Mai-Fest will be the greatest and
grandest in the history of the
institution."

Three BotUes of Laudnum Cause the
Death of an Unknown Man.
A telephone message to Sheriff
Teague Thursday morning an-
nounced the death of an unknown
man at Burton. The message
was from Justice McCain and
was accompanied by a request
for a coffin, full six feet in length,
which was shipped on the noon
train.
The dead man was found near
the railroad track. No papers of
any description were found on
his person by which to identify
the unfortunate. Three empty
bottles labelled laudnum were
found near him, and these led to
a verdict of death by poisons self
administered. The funeral oc-
cured at the county expense.

league now adjourn in token of
respect to her memory and that
our heartfelt sympathy be ex-
tended to the bereaved father
and relatives left behind in this

Mnrlborough was, according to
his contemporaries, the handsomest
man of his day in Europe, as well as
the most fortunate general who ever
commanded an army. Creasy says
of him, "Ho never fought a battle
which he did not win and never be-
sieged a city which be did not tuke."

Shooting at Carmine.
Carmine, Texas, April 14.—
Yesterdry evening about 0 o'clock
Dr. Gunther von Dieste and Dr.
B. J. Thigpen, railroad agent
here, met at the postofdee and a
few words passed, when the for-
mer drew a revolver and fired.
Dr. Thigpen then drew, and his
shot struck Dr. Dieste in the hip,
the ball penetrating the intestines.
The trouble grew out of land
matters and a suit.
Dr. Dieste has two physicians,
but his chances of recovery are
slim.
Dr. Thigpen was the first set-
tler here and the "father of the
town." He was arrested but re
leased on nominal bond.
