Setrth Side Imprevemeet CM
The South Side Viaduct and Im-
provement Club held an interest-
ing meeting at the church, corner
Muuson-st. and South Austin-ave,
the City Tuesday night. AU the officers,
quite a number of committeemen
For the past fortnight notices and members and neaHy all the
had been published in the press physicians of the city were pres-
announcing a labor meeting to dis- ent.
cuss the city election and endorse
candidates. The meeting took proval of the minutes committee
place Wednesday night and about
forty-seven persons were present, her ship committee reported that
Many of the laboring people would no new members had been se-
not attend for the reason, as they cured; whereupon it was sug-
expressed it, that it was a ‘‘cut gested by F. G. Coleman that the
and dried affair,” and did not ex
press the sentiments of the labor-
ing people. Mr. Smith was en-
dorsed for mayor, and Mr. White-
hurst for commissioner. Out of
the forty-seven present there were
five who expressed themselves in
favor of the candidacy of Dr. Ach-
eson.
The meeting was called to order
by F. R. Lawhorn, who was also
elected chairman. H. C. Fuller
was elected secretary. The partici-
pants in the meeting were obliged
to have a poll tax receipt and a
paid up union card. G. F. French
was stationed at the door.
A meeting of this character is
never harmonious, and a some-
what heated discussion took place
before the meeting got down to the
purpose for which it was called.
A party present states that the
Acheson contingency were very
promptly suppressed and not ac-
corded even a respectful hearing.
A motion was made to endorse
candidates for mayor, followed by
a like motion to endorse a candi-
date for commissioner. The vote
on mayor was, Smith, 29; Ache-
son, 5. After the vote was taken
the Acheson contingency, put on
their hats and walked out of the
hall. The vote for commissioner
resulted as follows: Whitehurst,
23; Tobin, 0.
The meeting was in no respect
a representative one. The many
labor unions in the city, repre-
senting a voting strength of over
1,000, refused to give it official
recognition. To be candid and
without any bias whatever, the
Gazetteer does not believe it will
affect the labor sentiment. Most
of those who went there were
Smith’s supporters. Those pres-
ent only represented themselves,
and the proceedings of the meet-
ing bind no one. It is safe to say
that Dr. Acheson has a large ma-
jority of the labor vote to his sup-
port, as election will fully demon-
strate.
A labor leader remarked to the
reporter for the Gazetteer Thurs-
day: “Oh, we suppose t»hat it
would have been all right if the
meeting had endorsed Acheson
and Tobin.” Our friend is wrong.
The time has gone by when the
labor vote of Denison can be solid-
ified on any particular candidate
or candidates, and the meeting
Wednesday night, considering the
small number present, shows what
little interest was taken, and there
is not even a crumb of com-
fort for those who engineered
it as an election scheme.

Following the reading and ap.

membership fee be advanced from
$1.00 to $5.00. This met with the
approval of Brother S mi res anti
Brother P. E. Williams, but on
the matter tieing presented to the
house it received an emphatic neg-
ative vote.
F. G. Coleman, as chairman of
the soliciting committee, rei>orted
that he had made no further solic-
itations as he deemed it useless
under the circumstances. In his
opinion the club had nothing to
expect from the present ci*y coun-
cil. No action was taken on the
report.
The chair called for a report
from the lookout committee,
whereupon its chairman, Collin
Calvert, stated that he had ob-
tained a conditional promise from
N. H. L. Decker to !»e present.
As Mr. Decker was not in attend-
ance the chair called for a report
from the special committee of ten
who had Iteen charged with the
duty of going before the city coun-
cil with a view of making definite or
final arrangements with reference
to building the viauduet. A major-
ity of the committee were present
and each committeeman reported
for himself. F. G. Coleman stated
that the committee appeared lie-
fore the council hut, in his opin-
ion, it was accorded a cold recep-
tion. Tobin questioned everything
that the committee presented.
A resolution, according to Cole-
man, had l>een passed by the
council but the resolution was not
worth the paper written upon. It
was not binding, and then the
council named twenty-six iqonths
time in which to finish the work.
That would he two months after
the expiration of the no -or and
the councilman to be Aected in
April and a year and two months
after the expiration of the term of
Commissioner Suggs. He saw
nothing in it. and was disgusted
with the whole thing. These
views seemed to lie endorsed by
Committeeman Smires and Wil-
liams, but when Committeemen
Calvert, Finley, Devanna and Wal-
ker had finished stating facts as to
the action of the council the meet-
ing ignored Messrs. Coleman,
Smires and Williams by moving
and carrying a proposition creat-
ing a new committee of three to
take up the work, prepare the
form of the notes, receipts and ob-
ligations so that the club’s side of
the work may lie put on a busi-
ness and matter of fact basis so
that the council could move for-
ward, and that, too, in as early a
time as possible.

Kansas City, Mo., March 10.—
The completion of the Missouri,
Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad to
Denison, Texas, it seems, is as-
sured. This railroad is now being
built by William Kenefick of Kan-
sas City and is in operation from
Wagoner, Ok., to Calvin, Ok., and
about half the distance between
W agoner and Denison. Announce-
ment was made yesterday to the
effect that the Franeo-American
Bank in Paris hail made a suc-
cessful flotation of $2,250,00 of the
Linds of tlie railroad company.
The price was 92%,
Aliout a month ago the road
was built into Calvin. As soon as
the line is completed to Denison it
is the purpose to build north from
Wagoner to build from Wagoner
to Kansas City. At Calvin the
road connects with the Rock Is-
lam! system and at Denison con-
nection will be made with the
Gould and Harriman lines.
The Standard Not Gnilty.
Last Wednesday Judge Ander-
Bon wiped out the so-called $29,-
240,000 Standard Oil case by in-
structing the jury to return a ver-
dict of not guilty. The jury
promptly brought in a verdict in
accordance with the instructions.
It is said the decision will cost the
railroad many thousands of dol-
lars annually in preparing more
complete schedules.
REASONS ASSIGNED BY COURT.
Among-the reasons assigned by
the court for its instructions were:
The government failed to estab-
ish its contention that there was a
fixed rate of 18c per hundred
pounds for oil shipped from Whit-
ing, Ind., to East St. Liuis, III.
The government, in presenting
its case, hail relied on unfixed,
changeable and shifting cinssfica-
tion in which only maximum
rates were named.
This classification was fixed by
the Illinois Railroad and Ware-
house Commission, a laxly entire-
independent of the Federal author-
ities, whose duty it is lo regulate
intrastate commerce.
There was a variance between
the counts in the indictment and
the proof, and that while the gov-
charged one thing it offered proof
about an entirely different thing.
The 18c rate hail not lieen proje
erly passed on in accordance with
the Elkins law.

Brinkley, Ark., a town of about
3,000 inhabitants, was nearly
wiped off the map the night of the
9th inst., by a tornado; thirty, and
possibly more, persons killed and
sixty injured. Every business
house and hotel is in ruins, and
scarcely a dwelling escaped serious
damage, a large number being
torn to pieces or unroofed. The
property loss is estimated at
$1,000,000. The Catholic church
escaped and was converted into a
temporary hospital. In the vicin-
ity of Little Rock the storm did
serious damage and six deaths are
reported.

The Gazetteer has no doubt that
Mr. C’oons, the new secretary of
the Board of Trade, is competent
to fill the position, and that he
will as the Gazetteer’s Illinois cor-
respondent says, “make good,”
but it is not very creditable to
Denison, or the State of Texas in
fact, that it was found necessary
by the officers of the board to send
abroad for the necessary intellec-
tual ability to boom the town.
As the public schools of Denison
have received $20,000 front the
rent of the business house which
was a bequest of Justin Raynal
the public would no doubt feel
more like making lilieral, pesonal
donations to the monument fund
if the school board would manifest
sufficient interest in the matter of
erecting a suitable shaft to the
memory of the generous benefactor
of our public schools by setting
apart a few month’s rent of this
property for the purpose. Having
received $20,000, an investment of
a few hundred to aid in perpetuat-
ing the memory of the man who
did so much for free education iu
our city would not lie out of place
certainly.

The Gazetteer has received from
Father Hutcheson of St. Joseph’s
Church “The Catholic Calendar
and Year Book.” It is a very
elaborate publication and useful to
memliers of the church, and
protestants might read it with
some profit.

Smith campaign, states that Mr.
Smith will be on the stump from
now until the day of election.
We are satisfied that the state-

Quail do not eatf boll weevils, and
this statement is backed up by the

quail in the boll weevil district.
