In our issue of yesterday we made
mention of the fact that arrangements
he'd been made by which our people
would be treated to thee mile contest,
by Miss Nellie Burke aud Miss MIollie
Taylor, two of the finest lady equestrians
in the world. They are on their way
south, and have been pre- vailed upon to
stop in this city and show the citizens
what the ladies can do in the way Of
handling thoroughbred horses. Miss
Burke, the champion lady equestrian,
has ridden in eleven contests, all If whirh
she won. She issued,a challenge to any
or all lady riders in the world, for $1,000
a side. She is, without ,'Oubt, the finest
performer that has ever been before the
public. It isa mode of racing entirely
new to the people of Texas, but one that
will be appreciated. 1t has been very
popular through the west for the past
two years. This will probably be the
last opportunity our people will have of
seeing a contest of this kind between
these ladies. None shou' Il miss it, Miss
Burke. and Miss Taylor expected here
the last of the week, with their horses,
consisting of a car load of thorough
breds.

In seems now that Manitoba, the
great wheat region of Canada. is be-
coming restless under dominion
rule, and casts longing eyes toward
the United States as the power with
which it should be naturally allied.
The reason FOR the dissatisfaction of
that province is, that there is prac-
teal non-intercourse between the
people and the United States, rail-
road INSTRUMENTATION being vir-
tually prohibited by the dominion
government. Parliament has laid a
stariff which forces the people OF
Manitoba to find their supplies in
the Ontario market, 1900 miles
away, TO their great Inconvenience
and disgust.

Having passed several sleepless nights,
distuPbed-by the agOnies and crles Of
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. WinslOw's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured n supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused TO have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed IN suffering. and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room TO attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change. and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her. has continued to Use the Syrup.

nights have disappeared. a single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve

one way by which the editor of the

THE COURTS.

Z. h. Turner. Judge. Presiding.

Taking Of testimony in the liube
Boyce case occupied the entire day, and
but three witnesses were examined
Lieutenant Kirby, L. s. A, Judge
Blacker and Allison The readers of
the STATEsM are perfect y familiar
with the history and all of the pa ticu'
lars of this case, growing out of what is
known as The "Peg Leg" mail robbery, on
the stage line between Austin and FL
Paso.
When the man Allison was called as a
witness, counsel for the defense
made the poi0t and proved
that the witness is state convict, and
hence legally disqualified. The objec-
ton was overruled by the court so far as
to permit the man to make his statement,
leaving the jury to give to it such
weight as they see proper. The mans
testimony is direct and unqualified upon
the point that Boyce was implicated in
the robbery, the witness claiming to
have been of the gang, and that he knew
the defendant well; The trial will
probably consume several days. The
government is represented by Colonel
Thomas F. Sneed and District Attorney
Evans; the defense by Hancock & West,
