The associated press dispatch about
tho blowing up of an American man of
war seems to havo been a stalo piece
of noKs rehashed embellished and ad-
ded to or elso is a second edition of a
real pieco of nows. Tho 'hews of a
conflict between tho Olga a German
man of war and an American man of
war in Sanioan waters is at least ten
days old. It appeared in tho German
nowspapcr tho Germnnia of Mil
waukee Wisconsin a weekly paper
datod March tho (tb a conv of which
wo havo before us. Tho following is
tho news as it appeared in tho Bum
marv of foreign tclccrams of that
paper of that date.
"in ivioi war uaa uerueont vcr-
broltet os liabo vor Samoa oin Kamnf
zwl.ohen der deutsohen Korvette
'Olira" ttnd oluem amerlkanlaohen
KrlogssouIHe stattgefUnden. Das
morikanlsoho Sohlrfsoll den orsten
Sohuss ab.efouert habou. Wedor ltu
Berliner noon In Wasliln-toner nua-
waertlgen Anit welss man otwas von
dlesom angeblichen Kampfe."
A report has been spread in Kiel
that a conflict had occurred in Samoca
waters between the German corvette
Olga" and an Amorican war shin.
The Amorican ship is said to havo
fired tho first shot. Neither in Berlin
nor Washington are there any advices
of such a conflict.
If tho pieco of news is tho same
nows which came in tho associated
ftreis dispatches yesterday it is at
east ten days old bocausc it was pub
lished in a weekly paper on tho uth
and tho news is evidently a gleanig.
Ifit is a new version of the same story
how did tho press como to miss the
original rumor of which it is the sec-
ond edition. It looks as if the asso-
ciated press had been caught napping
on a sensation and so had added some
horrors and particularities in order to
make up in blood curdling sensation-
alism what it lacked in freshness
Pushtu? the OanvaBQ.
Tho canvass is growing pretty earn-
est among tho city candidates. One
of them has a bad cold this morning
from pushing his work in tho upper
regions. Ho was after a brick mason
and ran him down on ono of tho new
buildings being put up neur tho woolen
mills on which he was building a
chimney. Nothing daunted ho climb-
ed up on the roof the man could not
get away and for a half hour ho pour-
ed into his astonished ear the blandish-
ments of an earnest candidato in mid-
air. It was a pretty spectacle. The
brickmason listened attentively and
at times he stood with a brick in one
hand and his trowel in tho other both
extended and a death like pallor in
his face. But the candidate got in
his work and left with the solemn
promise of the mason's voto and a
proud consciousness of having done
his duty in having persuaded another
sinner to promise to voto for a good
man.
Our reporter yesterday in passing
by Hamilton Bros. & Co's store was
attracted by the bustlo and rush of
this great firm and thought he would
wait until he could find out the cause
of so much business at this time of tho
year. Mr. A. O. Hamilton the man-
aging partner was in the store and to
him we addressed ourselves:
"How is tho produce business Mr.
Hamilton? You seem to be very busy.
We thought your business was about
over for tho season."
"Well" said Mr. Hamilton '-this is
considered the dullest season of the
year for our business but I can assure
you our produce trade has nearly
doubled itself since Uhnstmas We
are well satisfied with our business and
with Waco as a jobbing center and we
will give them an establishment in due
time that will be ono of the big insti-
tutions of the city."
We were impressed with tho energy
business taot and calm feeling of confi-
dence which Mr. Hamilton manifested.
Seeing he was anxious to attend to
pressing business we left him think-
ing all the time how this firm had in 6
months pushed their way abreast with
houses that have Wen in Waco a de-
cade. Having nothing further to do we
thought wo would satisfy our curiosity
and circulate around among the retail
trade on Austin avenuo and find out
how they stood with the trade. From
different merchants we elicited tho fol-
lowing remarks regarding Hamilton
Bros. & Co.:
"Yes we buy nearly all our produco
from Hamilton Bros. because we like
them. They are clever peoplo and we
always get good goods and wo havo no
trouble in adjusting our business when
anything comes up in a damaged con-
dition." From another:
"Wo have been buying pioduce from
the Hamiltons since they came to Wa-
co and oan cheerfully say that they
aro the best produce men wo ever knew
and the most pleusant to cet alone
with."
From another:
"Yes wo trado with Hamilton Bros.
& Co because we know they aro strict
ly honest and you get what you buy."
From another:
"Wo don't handlo anything in the
produco line bit potatoes anu Hamil-
ton Bros & Co. are tho only house in
Central Texas that have got them."
From the different merchants we
found that Hamilton Eros. & Co. were
universally popular and that they con-
sidered it to their interest to trade
with a firm of their reputation for bus-
iness capacity and integrity.

"I would like to see some diamond
rings" said a foppish young man with
a dainty manner of speech entering a
threo ball emporium on Halsted street
near Taylor.
"You would oh?" said Marx the
proprietor to himself as ho traveled
along his counter toward tho threaten-
ing to bo customer; "but I bet me dot
feller ish no good" and aloud in the
most genial manner "Anyding you
vant sir you shall haf."
Tho young man quickly chose a ring
with a threo carat single stone of

kept apart for him. as he had no monev

"Upon my word" cried he "that
was a most aN kward trick. I do not
know what to say. You may add the
damage to' tho price of tho ring."
"Der glass cost only tree dollar"
said Marx with somo ill grace. "Vby

"Why sir I am out of funds" was
the distressful protest.
"You vill egscuse mo if I correct
