A VERY staid and steady-going old
mule was standing in lot just north of
the Capitol Tuesday morning apparent
ly meditating upon very grave question.
Ever and anon he would doze off and APP
pear to be sound asleep and totally obliv-
iOus to all going on around him 1t was
only make believe, however. as \ small
boy playing in the lot discovered to his
intense grief and sore discomfort. He
saw the innocent looking mule, and not
being familiar with the wiles of that ami
NAL, approached too near his heels and
received blow, delivered with light
ning-like rapidity, Just above the eye.
The mule innocently dozed OF again, the
small boy screamed and was carried into
the house and DIR. Wooten called in to
give him medical attention. His injuries
are not serious.

WAYS that are Dark.

! He was nice young man, he was, with
plenty of money, accompanied with an
earnest longing to take in the town and
see the sights if it took whole week
With his mind comfortably made up and
his purpose firmly established and buried
beneath the weight of divers drinks, he
procured Il carriage and set out to take in
the city and learn something of the ways
that are dark and things that are crooked.
All the afternoon of Tuesday he rode
around the city taking in at regular inter-
walls schOoners of beer, until he was boo
~ and serenely Indifferent as to who or
where he was In this condition he was
driven to Fannie Kelley's, and taking
into the carriage frankie Howard. start
ed out for moonlight ride. They
were out until 3 O'Clock in the morn
ing, when they returned to Fannie Kel-
ley's and, getting out, dismissed the
carriage. They at once entered the
house and ordered wine for two. 1t was
furnished, and the fascinating frankie
requested the nice young man to foot the
bill. Instantly his hand was down into
his pants pocket and instantly it was out
again and into another, and from there 1t
was into all the pockets he had about him,
while CHASTITY look of goneness spread
itself over his countenance He missed
a purse containing $3.50 dollars and at
once accused frankie of having picked
his pocket while in the carriage. She We
hemently proclaimed her innocence, and
she, and the nice young man, and Fanny
Kelly, who had been called, carefully
searched the room, but no purse could be
found. The nice young man then de-
clared his unalterable intention of search
ing frankie, but that individual positively
refused to undergo the ordeal, whereupon
the nice young man sent for an officer,
but before he arrived frankie concluded
to let Fanny Kelly search her. 1t was
done, but no money purse found. Strange
to say, however, some one in the room
peering around did discover it under the
bed, where, few minutes before, the
combined eyes of Fanny Kelly, frankie,
the nice young man and the carriage
driver had failed to see il. II was ex-
amined, and the $3.50 was safe, the wine
was paid for, and frankie, who it was be-
lieyed had the purse about her person and
during the search had contrived to get
rid of and kicked il under the bed, was
arrested by the policeman who had ar
rived She was conducted to the lookup,
but this morning the nice young man re-
fused to put in an appearance and make a
complaint, and she was released from
custody.

A Big Steal.

For several months, young man. aged
about nineteen years, has been employed
in the bakery establishment of Mr.. Cess
vein, on East Avenue. near the city
cemetery. He was. We believe. raised
I'm this city, and was thought to be,
and. indeed. was Industrious. Sunday
last he did not turn up at the bakery. As
he was in the habit of doing. and Mr..
Gesswein repaired to the residence of
Mrs. weise, the mother of the young man.
and asked where he was. She thought
he was OF attending to his business. and
Mr.. Gesswein left. expecting him to put
in an appearance during the day. He did
not, however, and his mother became
alarmed, and, on searching her drawers,
she discovered that
FIFTEEN HUNDRED
dollars in gold and currency she had
stored away was missing. She disliked
to fasten suspicion upon her son a. the
one who carried it of. but his not re-
turning Sunday nightnor Monday morn
ing, looked too suspicious TO be lightly
passed over, and she notified Marshal
Creary OF her loss, and the absence
of her son. The marshal at once set
about working up the case. He
traced the festive. young man from
his home, which place he left sun
day morning to smiths livery stable,
where he had deposited small box in
the safe, and hiring a buggy, of course
went down into the First ward, and Sc

in progress Il few miles below town.
From there he was traced back to town,
where he passed the night in the First
ward. The marshal questioned Emma
about the young man, and she cheerfully
informed him that young Weise had said
to her he was going to st. Louis via the
Central to see some of his relatives. OF
course, this refreshing bit of information
was only trick of the willy young man
Marshal CreaTy, up to the ways that are
dark and things that are crooked, took in
the situation and at once telegraphed
down the International, giving a descrip-
ton of the young man Monday night
he received a telegram from the city
marshal at Palestine, saying the man had
been arrested. He at once asked how
much money he had about him, and yes
terday morning received an answer say
ing he had on his person
ELEVEN HUNDRED
dollars in gold and currency. So it seems
this young man only got away with $500
in just two days. Tuesday Marshal
Creary dispatched Officer Sublett to Pal
estine to get Weise and bring him to the
city, and he will reach here tomorrow
morning. The above young man has,
from all we can learn, been led astray by
the glare and glitter of fast life. If he
was alone I'm the category of young men
who have gone and are now going to ruin
attracted by the wonderful fascination of
the file de jOie. the wine rooms and other
places of resort, it might be well to pass
him over; but, alas he is not alone. Not
long since Il young man hardly seventeen
years of age, living in this city, was found
a defaulter fo- nearly Sl400, the greater
mart of which, we are reliably informed,
found its way into the capacious nav of
the wine rooms of the variety theaters.

n the whole History OF Mediciue


No preparation mas ever performed snch msr
vellous cures, or maintained 80 wide reputa-
ton, as AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, which IL
recognized as the world remedy for all diseases
OF the throat and lungs. It's long-continued se-
ries Of wonderful cures in all climates has made
1t universally known as a safe and reliable agert
to employ. Against ordinary colds, which are
the forerunners Of more serious disorders, it
acts speedily and surely, always relieving sur
fering, and often saving life. The protection 1t
affords, by ITS timely use in the throat and lung
disorders OF children, makes it an invaluable
remedy to be kept always or hand in every
home. No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never will.
From their knowledge OF it's composition and
effects, Physicians use the CHERRY PICTORIAL
extensively in their practice, and Clergymen
recommend it. II is absolutely certain in its
remedial effects, and will always cure where
curee are Doeeihle.

TEXAS POLITICS..

Republicans in Bexar county
will put a full ticket in the field.
Milan county is to have four
tickets IN the field-Democratic, Re-
publican, Greenback and the Farm
ers' ticket.
j. Q. Chenoweth is the Demo-
cratic nominee for the legislature in
Fannin county, but Col. Lyday. In
dependent candidate, will probably
give him a close race.
The executive committee of the
Republican party is to meet at
Hearne on the Goth. There is said
to be much diversity of opinion
about putting state ticket in the
field.
The North Ieraa comes over
gracefully and will support the ticket
like little man. Speaking of Rob-
