HOck-er-tee.Yern.

The vegetable vendors cry Of
shock. tee .yern," heretofore utterly
unintelligible, has been translated by
City Attorney Heiskell, who is a deep
linguist. 1t was first used by the
Bedlamites, and only lately adopted
by the vegetable vender. 1t means,
II am bowling nuisance, and ought
to have my head busted with sledge
hammer"
No one who has heard the word
uttered in all its native force and
popularity of pronunciation, will
doubt that this is true translation.
1t is also agreed that the trs Station
ought to be enforced. The practice
of waking people up before day in this
senseless and useless manner deserves
the severest condemnation.

BURGLARS ABROAD.
Chl0rOfOrm Plays a Part in a
Union Street Burglary.

The robbers visited Union street
night before last and accomplished two
successful burglaries, one at the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. S. Bruce and the
other at that of Mrs. A. r Morton.
From Mr.. Bruce they stole about
fifteen dollars worth of siIverware.
They probably intended to steal the
entire table service as it was bundled
up, but were perhaps frightened in
the midst Of their operations. Mrs.
Morton loss was rather heavy and
amounted TO $40 in cash. The lady
states that she spent the previous
evening shopping and sat up until
midnight sewing when she was SO
fatigued she did not go up stairs to
bed as usual but undressed the chill
dren and put them to sleep in the
sittingroom down stairs, while she laid
down on lounge near the window
without disrobing, first taking the
money from her pOcketbook and tying
it in pocket-handkerchief which she
put in the pocket Of her wrapper. AS
the room was little close, the sash
was pulled down from the top, though
the blinds were closed, as she thought
securely. The sun was streaming in
the open window when she awoke at
eight o'clock in the morning, and a
faint odor of chloroform could be
detected. The handkerchief in which
the money had been tied was lying
empty on the floor. The children
slept so soundly that it was the great
est difficulty they were aroused.

county finds itself in possession OF valuable
interest that depends upon the continued sue
cess of the republican party for Its hte--'he
wool interest And in looking into tins mat
ter the good people of Kinney also discover
that there is not a single int est OF importance
in their county that is not made secure ana
permanent by reason of the fact that the re-
pubiicans are in power; hence 1t is tina, we
find the people Of Kinney eithg sheep men
with republican principles or democratic
sheep growers with republican PRINCIPLES.
Every stone in every wall of Bracket has
been placed there under republican auspices,
and we discover that the leading men of Kin
ney county are enlisting their services under
the republican banner for the coming cam
pagn. The address Of Gov. Davis has gone
long way towards lberalizing the sentiment OF
the people, and in iniusng hope among the
masses.
The great bulk of the intelligence OF the
land is on the republican side, and the Brack
ettonians prefer to 60 with the intelligence and
patriotism Of the country.
The republicans of Kinney county organized
on last Saturday night, and elected delegates
to the republican state and congressional con-
ventions. We have not the proceedings at
hand to give names, but suffice it to say that
Kinney county can be ranked among the anti
bourbon communities of TexaS. The political
atmosphere becoming clear we can hope that
all other things will improve.
AN EARLY START.
Fearing that we would be left by the stage
we made an early start from the hotel to the
pos,ofice; we found the town in the deep
silence of early morning, only broken by the
talk of some jewellers at the gambling tables,
who still fingered to retriev. their losses. The
silence was still further broken by the rumbllng
of the water cart supplying the town. And
while we were sitting and nolding the cannon
was fired from the hill, and the conclusion
fairly shook the buildings, and must hav,
rudely shaken the morning maps out OF tht
residents of Bracket.
We again traverse the prairie IN two-hors'
vehicle, and reach Eagle Pass Junction ii
ample time for the train bound east.

Grated snd the Christmas tlee vas goreeously
and heavily loaded with the delicious and

one, and consisted Of singing. declarations,
speeches. Rev. BuEzeIl had charge Of the
arrangement, and the opening prayer was
made by Elder Blsntop. The music and
singing WIZ excellent and added charm to
the joyous oec sion. Master Hobble and
Miss Patton delivered fine declamations.
Marriage Of Santa Claus (k W. Evans) and
Old Mother Goose "a. Bennet) was the lu-
dicrous and laughable part Of the entertain
mebt. This blight, little Miss Kelsey gave
Santa Claus an interesting talk, and was re-
sponded to by Cd Nick in few appropriate
words, sf,er which the knight of the chimney
and filler OF stockings, commenced giving
out the presents on the heavily laden tree;
and then the anxious children were on tip
toe to receive Santa Claus bounty and gen
erosiiy. The little hearts were gladdened by
choice ihings, and tie memory of the fes-
tive day planted in their young minds. We
believe it is better to teach the chill iren that
Santa Claus is living personator like our
friend Dick, and not he old story. But what
Uncle Dick, the children's friend, wants to
do is to make Old Mother Goose do the fam
lily cooking up brown. Christmas is not
withou, pleasant scenes, and the one just
closed was no exception to the rule.
