Madame Candalsria, of San
Antonio, known as the only sur-
vivor of the massacre of the
Alamo, died at her home in that
city during the past week. She
was more than one hundred and
thirteen years old, and had been
blind for the past three years.
She was one of the most inter-
esting persons of early Texas
history, and the legislature de-
voted a page of its journal to her
memory.
After one of the most heated
contests ever known in San An-
tonio, Marshall Hicks was elected
mayor over Bryan Callaghan, who
has successively held office in
that city and county for more
than twenty years. The entire
independent ticket was elected,
and the administrationists were
surprised at the majorities rolled
up by the opposition.
The war continues in the Phil-
lipines, and hardly a day passes
that there is not more or less
fighting. The American losses
are reported as very light, while
the Phillipinos are losing heavily.
The eastern possessions are going
to give much trouble.
The cells and the administra-
tion building at the Huntsville
penitentiary weie destroyed by
fire Monday morning about six
o’clock. Not a convict tried to
escape, but the guards lost nearly
all their clothing and other val-
uables in trying to perform their
duties and assist in putting out
the fire. The total loss will be
somewhere near thirty thousand
dollars.
Rations ForgJDewey’s Fleet.
A telegram announces that 5,000
carcasses of mutton, 250 lambs,
133 tons of potatoes, 81 of onions,
and 22 of carrots have been sent
from Australia for Dewey’s fleet
at Manila.

work. -Apply to Mrs. Graves,

pleased to sell all of our old cus-
tomers and as many more new

to’stay. W. C. PRICE & CO.
A petition, asking the Honor-
able Commissioners’ Court to
build a bridge in connection with
the Commissioners’ Court of San
Saba county at some point on the
Colorado river in the neighbor-
hood of the Bend, has been or
Will be presented to the court at
its present session. It would be
just as well for the court to take
the proper action on this matter
at once, as the bridge will be
built finally, and the people will
only too gladly foot the bill.
When it is built it will be erected
on the bond plan, and posterity
or future taxation will have to
pay for it. There is no reason
why that posterity should not
begin to pay at once, and in the
mean time the bridge could be in
use by the people who need it
now. What it is well to do, it is
not well to delay. Let the court
take the proper action at its pres-
ent term, and they w-ill have the
full endorsement of the people.

Mrs. H. P. Edwards, Sr., was a
pleasant caller at this office Tues-
day, and as a result her son, R. P.
Edwards, of Millican, Brazos
county, will read the Leader for
the next twelve months. Thanks.
Prof. M. R. Rice, of the Grun-
dyvills country, made the Leader
a pleasant call Tuesday evening.
His many friends wall regret to
learn that his health is still very
poor.
Buy your plow handles and
plow beams from Fox & Mills.
Prof. Buren Sparks met with a
serious accident Monday evening
while on his way to hi3 school at
McCreaville. His horse becom-
ing unbridled he was undertaking
to replace the bridle, when the
horse gave a lurch and jerked his
arm very much. He thought
nothing seriously of the matter
until some time that night, when
he thought he could feel some
bones rasping in the shoulder
joint. Consulting with a friend
he concluded there was a fracture
of the shoulder joint and made
arrangements to come home.
Dr. Dorbandt was called in and
pronounced a serious break in
the processes which make the
socket joint of the shoulder.
The injured member ■was bound
up, and replaced as it could best
be done, and the professor is now
resting as easily as could be- ex-'
pected at his father’s home in this
city. His many friends among
the young people wdll regret to
hear of his mishap.

oil to a gallon of paint. See that

that cough. Try it.
Prof, and Mrs. S. H. Jenkins
have each resigned their position
in the Lampasas city schools,
Mrs. Jenkins’ health having failed
and the Professor proposing to
go into the mercantile business
in a short time. So far as the
Leader has been able to learn
they have given satisfaction as
instructors in the school. Miss
Maggie Browning, the regular
supernumerary, has been filling
the place of Mrs. Jenkins, and
the board will fill the place of Mr.
Jenkins as soon as possible. The
Leader congratulates Mr. Jenkins
on going into a business which
will probably prove more lemun-
erative and satisfactory than that
of teaching.
A large stock of plow handles,
plow beams, wagon material, etc.,

Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Manuel and
the members of the family desire
the Leader to express their thanks
to their neighbors and friend*
and the public for attention and
help during the siekness and
death of Mrs. Manuel’s father,
Mr. Francis E. Bailey.
W. R. Wren, the man who
knows how to raise hogs, was in
the city again this week, and
left a supply of sausage with the
Leader force and it was gladly
received, as the butcher had not
been able to cut any meat on ac-
count of everything being frozen.
There came near being a meat
famine sure enough.

rapidly.

The consumption- of fuel this
winter tells in plain terms of th*
cold weather which has prevailed.
The public schools began the
winter with five cords of wood on
hand left over from last year, and
the same quantity purchased for
the present season that they pur-
chased last year. All this has
long since been consumed,
and much more wood has been
bought. The same sexton or jan-
itor has had charge, and has en-
deavored to keep the same char-
acter of fires when needed as on
other occasions. A number of
the business men began the fall
with wood stoves, and later laid
in supplies of coal which they
thought would be sufficient for
the winter and adopted coal stoves
for heating. Now their coal sup-
ply is exhausted, and they have
returned to the use of wood for
fuel. The old wood stove is los-
ing it* popularity, and the n*w
air tight Beaters are coming into
general use. They are said to
make better and more lasting
heat with less fuel than the old
style stove. The wood question
is getting to be a very serious
one with many of the citizens,
and all will soon want a new sup-
ply if the weather does not mod-
erate.

pared paint for sale at Cassell’s
