for some time, concluded to drop you
line to let your readers know that It has not
rained yet in this part of the country, and
prospects for the weather to continue fair
for the balance Of the nineteenth century,
Crops are very short on account OF the long
continued drought, but in spite Of all this
our city builds up. We have one business
house just completed to be occupied soon by
Mr.. A. B. MCQUEEN, who is now resident
of our city. Mr.. MCQUEEN will engage in
the grocery business, he has q nice little
business house, which when well stocked
will be quite @ credit to the city: also Dr..
J. 8. Portch formerly of Temple, Texas, is
in our midst; he expects to engage in the
general mercantile business; is now having
his lumber hauled and making arrangements
to put up nice and extensive building
which he will stock soon. We will also
have cake and cider stand which completes
everything now on foot. The next thing is
street cars which we must have soon. Mr..

cupying the residence formerly owned by j.

LAREDO, Sept. 1,--AIr Underhill, repre-
senting the Austin Marble works, has spent
the day in Laredo examining the the speci-
mems of of rocks in the different quarries
in this vicinity, in order to make out the
display of Texas rocks at the Boston exhi-
bition. He secured samples which will he
forwarded to that point by express. One
of these rocks is said to be very fine. 1t is
of blue color and almost as hard as granite.
Another specimen was taken from the quar-
nv seven miles from town from which the
contractors at Arkansas Pass are taking rock
to sink the mattresses used in building the
iotties at that point. He leaves for Monte

FRED. DOUGLASS, in an interview with a
Washington Star reporter the other day,
said the statement printed in New York
newspaper that the proposed convention OF
colored men Mt Louisville on the Oath inst,
was to be in the interest of the present ad-
ministration was wholly untrue. He said,
also, that he proposed to 60 as delegate to
the convention if one should be held, and
that he had received letters from Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas. Nebraska, Illinois, In
diana, Maryland and other states, informing
him that delegates from those states would
attend. He said also he had received letters
from Senator Harrison, of Indiana, and from
the mayor of Indianapolis, welcoming the
convention to Indianapolis, in case it should
not be welcomed to Louisville, KY, and in
any case if the colored people should wish
to hold a convention there.

From st. Louis.
Sept Z,

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. s. 1888.
EDITOR FREE PREss-Judge Noonan has
again decided in favor of the wine and beer
saloons, and his decision in the case of N.
Steller is a total defeat of the Downing law
in this city. The prosecuting attorneys are
disheartened and the Governor will doubt
less call a special session of the Legislature
to pass such laws as will bring this rebellious
city to terms. The people of the State at
large and all the country papers denounce
Noonan's decision and speak in threatening
tones of the conduct of the saloon keepers
of st. Louis. The final action of Governor
Crittenden will be known in few days.
The celebrated case of the State VS.. Frank
James is being brought to close at Gallatin,
Mo-, to-day The alibi attempted to be
proved by the defense is generally regarded
as dismal failure. The prosecution under
stood their case and handled it with far more
skill than the defense. No sane man or wo-
man in the State entertains the slightest
doubt of Frank James guilt. James was
not in Texas at the time of the Winston rob-
berry and murder, but he acdS at Winston.
Now what the jury will do, is the conun-
drum applicable to all juries. 1t is safe to
bet however that they will dodge their SOL
emn duty, by failing to agree upon ver-

The Last Luling Murder.

A Galveston News special of the 9th gives
the following account of the murder of NJ.
Ussery, a prominent citizen of Luling or
vicinity, by one Sam Brown:
Ussery had two daughters. Last week
the elder one eloped with n man whom Us
sery considered worthless, aud whose suit
he violently opposed. At the same time
Brown, whom the father regarded as no bet
ter than the other one, tried to steal away
Gussie, the younger daughter, but was foil
ed by locks and bars.
At dawn this morning Brown arrived with
a six-shooter, and rode to the Ussery man
sion remarking to q neiChbor that he was
going to get his girl or else kill some one.
On his dismounting UsSery and his wife con-
shifted privately and then informed Brown
that he might have GuSsie If be would get
a license and marry the girl in her home.
Discussion ensued but was cut short by
Brown drawing his pistol and deliberately
shooting the oil man three times, killing
him instantly. Mrs. Ussery rushing TO the
rescue Brown leveled his revolver ct her
and fred. but she had Knocked the muzzle
| inside and the powder only scorched her face.
Brown fed but was so hotly pursued by TIE
aroused and infatuated neighoOrhood that h
abandoned his horse, pressed through th'
thicket to the Lockhsrt jail and surrender

Kyle.

A pressure of other topics has compelled
us 20 omit some of our notes and ooseTva-
tons at our late visit to our aourishing SIS
ter village. =,
We could not undertake to enumerate OIL
the improvements. They are numerous and
important, and the place begins to take shape
as regular town. In addition It is contem-
plated TO build Immediately S5,ooo board
ING house to be used in connection with the
new dispensation" which has overtaken
Kyle Seminary.
Tn a stroll over the town we were struck
by the fact that much the prettiest part OF
its site lies in the direction of the Seminary.
II is high and affords fine views. weshouid
think the private residences would in future
be mainly built in this quarter.
One deficiency we noticed-the absence OF
Enclosures and shade and fruit trees and
shrubbery. Proper attention to these would
soon add vastly to the attractiveness OF the
place.
On the other side of the railroad from
town, the railroad company own upwards OF
sixty acres of fine land, but decline to sell
at present. They granted "dispensation'
on that side only to Maj. Nance, who has
there fine Clubhouse, combining other ma
chinery of the latest improved styles.
Although the season has been 80 dry, we
were assured that Kyle has not suffered for
water, the wells affording a sufficient supply.
In short, the outlook for Kyle, all things
considered, is better than ever before. AS
q citizen of Hays county, and as the pub
Usher of o newspaper representing the
whole county, we are glad of her prosperity.

More Work For Special Session.

The troubles among the stockmen grow
inc out of the fen ce.cutting and other simi-
lar operations affords new and pressing
reason for An extra session Of the Legisla-
ture to take action for the prevention, II
possible, of similar troubles. We believe
they will find this one Of the most difficult
Jobs they ever encountered. The founda-
ton for IL in the first place lay in the greed
of the large range holders in using the COM
mon outside range as long AZ 1t was avail
able, before turning their stock in their own
IA lures; in inclosing with their lands large
tracts of the public lands which Others have
As good right to use as themselves; and in
refusing to others any share in the water IN
their Enclosures, however abundant or easy
of access. Such are the views of Governor
Ireland as reported in the News, and we
believe they will be found to be correct.
Sooner or later the legislatures will have to
.sit down" on the monstrous idea that such
vast tracts of land can be held without allow
inc the access of others to water, or roads
through them at reasonable intervals. These
are among the inalienable rights alike OF
nature and society. AS we'll might one set
of u,ortsls assume to exclude all others from
participation in the air we breathe as to at
tempt to set them ut naught.
