house, on the southern edge of Pierce
county, country bellies and beauX were
enjoying the pleasures of dance. Among

of admlring attendants. AS dance sue
ceeded dance the ill-concealed rivalry in
creased and an open rupture occurred be-
tween the parties. Miss Wilson's young
brother, who was present, sharpened a
knife and, rushing into where his sister
was just taking her place in the final
breakdown, handed it TO her, with the
advice not to be run over. Miss RoXic
thcreupon sprang at Miss Smith with the
fury of Il tigrcsS, giving her several fright
full lungcs with the knife. One cut par
italy discmbowclcd the poor girl, and an
other made a huge cash across her breast.
She fell fainting to the floor, and cannot
live. Miss RoXic was taken away by her
friends and has not yet been found by the
officers. The butchcred woman was an
aunt to her aSsailant.''

a Curious bet.

railroad conductor bet German, of
Quincy, Ill.,, that he could not pick up
100 eggs laid OF the ground yard apart
inside of 35 minutes. The eggs were to
be picked up and deposited in basket,
one at time, and the basket was to re-
main stationary ut the spot where the first
egg was placed. German thought he had
an easy walk over; but the railroad man
placed the eggs in straight line along
the side of the depot and the basket at one
end, so that German had to run up and
down the line with each egg separately.
At the end of 20 minutes he had picked
up only % of the eggs, and had to give up
the contest. y local mathematician fig
ured up that it would take about six miles
of travel to pick up the 100 eggs.

DIR. JULIUS KINGS
Combination Spectacles.
TIE BEST.

lst. They are composed of a combination
frame, set with the finest French white lens; they
do not rust and are the most durable in use.
I'd. The lenses are of different shapes so as TO
correct imperfect sight in youth as well rs old
age, both for reading and seeing at distance.
81. The frame can be adj listed 10 lit n wide or
narrow face so that the cone of the lens will
come before the pupil of the eye, which is very
important
4th. They will neither confuse the sight nor
cause dizziness by long and ontinued use, as Is
the case with spectacles of unequal focus.
5th. They supply the deficiency that occurs
from natening of the crystalline lens, and will
enable one to see as well as in youth.
9Th. They are recommended by the leading
opticians of the country, are not expensive, over
a million OF them are now in use, and every pair
Is warranted.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
The genuine are marked Kings Patent on the
nose pi"ce. Peddlers cannot obtain the genuine.
All heterogeneous of the patent will be prose-
cuted 10 the extent of the law.
WHEN SPECTACLES ARE NEEDED.
When you are not able to read the finest print
at twelve inches from the eyes.
When you arc not able to continue reading or
sewing for any length of tune without fatigue,
or the letters LOOK blurred and run together.
1t is a wrong idea TO put off the use OF specta-
cles. II the eyes require help, they should be
used at once, regardless OF age.
Don't be deceived by peddlers or travelling op-
ticians, who charge eXorbitant prices for fitting
eyes. but call on us. We will guarantee per-
feet fit and charges reasonable.

FictiOns About the Ostrich.

The editor of the Anaheim, Col,
Gazette has been investigating the
habits of ostriches on a ranch near
that place, and says that the old
story about the female covering up
the eggs and leaving them to be
Matched out by the hot sun is all
bosh. 1.-The female" he says, sits
on the eggs in the daytime and the
male assumes that duty at night, al
lowing the female to seek rest and
recreation while he attends to the
household duties. 1t must be noted
here that the male is much more So
licitous for his household than is the
female. 1t not unfrequently happens
that the latter prefers to CAD about
rather than take her turn at sitting,
and on such occasions her lord and
master administers to her a deserved
cbastisement by kicking her heartily
around the paddock until she mani

TEXAS TOPICS.

Texas is the grand field now for
railroad schemes.
One thousand yearlings were sold
at Fort Worth recently, for SIC per
head.
The custom. house at Laredo
passed from Mexico into Texas during
the months of March and April,
100000 worth of horses and cattle.
TON Green county will ship this
year about 100000 pounds of wool.
San Angela, the county seat, claims a
population OF 1900 souls including
Fort Concho, just across the river.
Texas claims 100000 sheep
within her borders. They are largely
coarse, improbable animals, but they
are being bred up more rapidly than
generally supposed.
1t is estimated that 100000 cat
tie will be driven in, from Texas
alone, to Chicago and Kansas City
markets. 1.-The largest drive known,
and 33 per cent. greater than was ex-
pected.
up to June Q, seventy thousand
head of cattle had been shipped from
southern Texas to Wichita Falls.
This is the heaviest transportation of
cattle in the history of the Texas
cattle trade.
Much complaint comes from
Austin from newly organized counties
because of fencing in large bodies OF
land by cattle men. Actual settlers,
who are small farmers, are being
crowded out, their farms being in
closed by large pastures.
The San Antonio Express says
A representative of syndicate OF
English capitalists, who have largely
invested in Texas lands, says that the
investment resulted in profit OF
nearly 20 per cent the first year, and
that this, the second year, it will be
80 per cent. This speaks favorably
for Texas as field for investment.
The Chicago papers note the ar
rival in that city, on last week, of the
first car load of fresh beef, from Vic
+oria, Texas, which point it left on
the 1l:h instant. The beef, which
was placed in the markets for sale on
the following day, was found to be
perfectly sweet and fresh. The con-
signment consisted of fcrty-fve cattle
and thirty-fve sheep, weighing in all
81, 900 pounds.

A Novel Poker Game.

The Kansas City Journal tells of a
game of poker played recently in that
city between Major Drumm and Tex
an. The Journal says the Texan had
no money but plenty of cattle and an
immense desire to play poker with the
Major. The latter is known around
the stock yard for his great natural
resources, and he swept away the
seemingly insurmountable difficulty by
proposing game of one-steer ante,
two steers to come in and no limit.
They played on that basis. Major
Drumm dealt and the gentleman from
Texas anted one steer. Both came in
and the game opened with four steers
on the table. Major Drumm drew two
tens and caught an unexpected full,
while the gentleman from Texas caught
bob-tail snag and passed out. The
third was a jack pot, and it took three
deals to open it. The gentleman from
Texas finally drew two jacks, and
opened the pot with fine breeding
bull, which counted six. Maj. Drumm
covered this with five steers and two
year-old heifer, and went him twelve
COWS better. The gentleman from Tex
as, who drew another jack, saw the
twelve COWS and went fifty steers bet
ter, twenty two-y ear-old heifers better:
Major Drumm looked at his hand and
placed on the table six fine Alderney
cows, five imported Durham bulls, one
hundred grass-fed two-year Odds, fifty
prime to medium corn-fed Colorado
half breed steers, with side bet of a
Normandy gelding to cover the bar
bill. The man from Texas made his
bet good with a. even $50 straight

in his hip pocket $50 steers, heifers,
