Hon. JOHN H. REAGAN is doing
we'll and is regarded as being out
of danger.
The Gainesville Register calls
the late Fort Worth convention a
bear garden.
The Austin Capital now gets
the noon press dispatches and is
greatly improved thereby.
AUSTIN has been selected as the
place of holding the next meeting
of the Texas Press association.
The Houston Post of Tuesday
contains six or seven columns of
matter pertaining the interstate
drill.
The Houston Post endorses the
appointment of Col. Elliott as CON-
missioner to the New Orleans OK
position.
CAPT. EADs is a Republican and
was a delegate from Missouri to
the first Republican national con-
vention.
ACCORDING to the Colorado Clip
per the Houston Post bushes like
a rose. 1t is seldom indeed that n
newspaper bushes.
GEN. MAcMAHoN, the hero of
many wars and ex-president of the
French Republic, is SAID to lie at
the point of death.
A SPECIAL from Richmond, Mo-,
reports the suicide of Charles
Ford, the brother of Bob Ford the
slayer of Jesse James.
THE Houston Journal is now is
suing a supplement; a rush of ad-
vertising and the interstate drill
makes this necessary.
The people ofTexas will regret
to learn that Judge Reagan's con-
ditlon is worse and that his physi
clan regard it as serious.
THE dispatches to the News are
all unfavorable to Mr.. Harden
brook. We now expect to see dis
patches to the Post endorsing him.

Hon. W. II. Grain is looming up
as a candidate for congress in the
district now represented by ochil-
tree.

Sui Ross would accept the nomina-

Statesman.

Houston Post of last Sunday was a

the grain to say SO, but the truth
must be told.

the Houston Post says the report
that Gen. Trevino was ordered to
the City of Mexico is wholly with
out foundation.
A LARGE number of state papers
show their appreciation of the
BANNER by appropriating its para
graphs bodily. The compliment
is appreciated.
The Red River at Shreveport is
still rising and serious fears are .
that the low lands
along the river will be inundated
and crops ruined.
IT would seem that the benson
Herald-News does not supply the
want of that city, and the Gazetteer
says the new morning paper will
be dive" local one.
The mails are becoming irregu-
ar again, or rather they are more
than usual. 1t takes pa.
Ders about three days to come from
San Antonio to Brennan.
In Galloway county, Missouri,
Ham Patterson was taken from
