Layering or ageing (storing for
maturity) has much to do with
the quality and healthfulness of
beer. With our
Storing Capacity of
600,000 Barrels
exceeding that of any two other breweries
In the World, we are enabled to lager our beer
from four to tive months before being marketed.
This lagering brings out, to the utmost,that
exquisite taste and fine flavor characteristic only
of Anheuser- Busch Beer.

BILL ORG A IN. OF BASTROP
Many people <>f Georgetown
arc watching with interest the
candidacy of W. E. Orgain, oi
Bastrop county, for representa-
tive to !:.•• legislature from hi-
district. ill was for several
years a student in the Universi-
ty her* and was about as well-
known as the most prominent
citizen. His tastes and qualifi-
cations :\ r political life, were
evident at that time. Bastrop
county is really very fortunate in
possessing such a man and she is
needing him at the present time.
It is the opinion of Mr. Orgain's
friends that in entering the race
for the legislature, he isjust em-
barking on a long and trium-
phant voyage that will take him
well, where may he not land?
Three cheers for Bill Orgain!

n«
tion of our readers, we will give
them here as well as we
learn them.
From members of the party w<
learn that when they arrived
there on Monday night, June IS.
they were all very much in need
of rest and naturally, nervous |
from the fatigue of the trip and
the danger they might be in.
They were assigned rooms on the 1
sixth floor of the Grace hotel, one1
of the best in the city, and Mr. \
Reynolds left his room and said 1
he wished to sleep with some one
else. Mr. T. J. 1,argent told him
he had a bed large enough for
both and to come in a id sleep with
him, and he did so. Mr. Largent
soon went to sleep, sleeping
soundly, and was awakened about
7 o'clock next morning,^by some
one knocking at his door. When
opened it he was met by some
ifficerand told that Mr. Reynolds
was dead. Of course, some legal
investigation was necessary to
vindicate Mr. Largent among
rank strangers, and this was
done.
It was quite a shock to Mr. Lar-
gent. of course, to be aroused by
armed men when the\ were nat-
urally fearing danger anyhow,
but when informed bv Mr. Kensel
whom he knew, that Mr. Rey-
nolds was dead, and that they
meant no harm t<> him, he quietly
submitted.
The accident happened at about
2;:'0 in the morning and none of
the men knew of it till about 7
o'clock. The room which they oc-
cupied had a window opening into
ai shaft about eight square.
