vented the issuing of a paper
Tuesday. Busineness before
Pleasure.-Hempstead 4MrSseN-
gn.
The Daily Nsssexger it
seems is published fer pleasure.
- The Houston Telegram
predicts that Galvestons scare
and quarantine will have a salu-
eary effect on St.Louis trade
with Texas and that drummers
from that city will come down
! upon Texas like the locusts
upon Egypt Of old.
A SAN ANTONIO special to the
Nraps says Gen. Pedro Valdez,
he who got out of MacKen-
zie's way, is stationed with 1900
men in the mountains above
Eagle Pass watching for Gen.
Mackenzie to come over. The
Mexicans are living on cattle
stolen from Texas.
- Messrs. Todd and Flint,
Galvestonians, returning from
New Orleans, was stopped by
the quarantine officers at Vir-
Cinia Point and denied admit
lance to Galveston for twenty
days. The gentleman returned
to Houston only to be ordered
away from there within twenty
four hours.
- Turner Hall il San An
tonic was burned on Monday
night mourning loss OF $1,000.
The Esp,ess says the engines
were too long reaching thu fire.
We want more system in the
management of the companies,
or the people will have to GO
back to first principles-their
water buckets.
= Winfield Rayficld, Dali
las salesman, was found in the
rear of the store in which he was
working in Dallas, in convul-
sions. He had long used NOR
phine on account of suffering
from a broken leg received dur
ing evacuation Of Richmond.
1t is supposed he took an
overdose.
"A small boy about twelve
years of age arrived at San An
tonic on the regular passenger
train, having in his possession
about 5000, He fell into the
the hands Of sharpers, but was
rescued by the police. He had
stolen the money from home
and ran off. The young gentle
man will be sent home.
IT has been claimed all along
that the two-thirds rule is nee
cessry in order to secure a full
expression of the will ofthe par
ty. But if the nominations made
at Austin express the will of
one-twentleth part of the De
mocracy of Texas, it is no where
apparent in the comments of
State cxchanges.-Dakkas Com
mel cfai.
= Caldwell Eagle AS a
public condemnation of the |
fashionable follies of the day, |
Jim Bell went to church bare |
footed last Sunday. - Loaf |
ers, are requested not to hang |
around the Eagle office. = Ten |
Grecnback clubs in Burleson
county have an aggregate MEM
bership of 900. 1t looks as if
the Greenbackers mean bust
ness.
The Comanche CMefreports |
the arrest, by Lieut.. Arlington
and squad of ten rangers rein
forced by the Sheriff and posse,
Of sixteen citizens of Comanche
county. These men are charg-
ed with being the murderers of
James Mackey and A. J. Nc
Donald, who we're killed some
months ago in the eastern part
of the county. Another man
was also brought in, making
seventeen in all. Pending a
preliminary examination they
were all jailed.
The Dallas Herald wants to
make two states of Texas. This
is not fair. Texas is large
enough to make more than a
hundred states each larger than
Delaware or Rhode Island.
Two states forsooth! and only
two governors! if we are devide
the state let's go about it in a
business way; there is plenty of
room for plenty ofstates; plenty
of states will make plenty of
offices and plenty of Offices
will make plenty of taxes, etc,
ETC., etc.
