Ir is n common idea, officiously and
industriously disseminated by the
enemies of prohibition, that the law
where adopted is not enforced. This
is great mistake. In Maine, in
Kansas, in Tennessee, the law Is en-
forced SO that the saloon business Is
practically at IN end, and the dlstill-
cries and breweries are being closed.
Crime, too, us q consequence IS dim
inishing at wonderfully rapid rate.
In Tennessee Judge Mcconnell of the
5th district says crime has been re-
duced 60 per cent. Grand jurles
which formerly had 60 indictments
now have but two. No town marshals
are needed. Prohibition has chang
ed the entire face of the community.
In Kansas the State has increased in
taxable wealth over $30,00O,0OO un-
der prohibition. These are but a
few of the many facts which are evl-
dencing it's blessings.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON March A., 1884.
The Senate snubbed the Southern
cyclone victims who had asked for
Federal aid, and passed the House
bill repeating the test oath, with the
stipulation that no person who had
first served in the United States
Army and afterwards in the confed-
crate, could bring claims against the
Government. The House passed
number of private pension bills, pro-
nounced eulogies on the late Repre-
sentative Haskell of Kansas, and de-
voted day to debate on the Naval
appropriation bill. Before passing
the latter bill the Senate had much
rambling talk and some good speech
es ON the Navy. The discussion
wandered through all the Navies Of
the globe, through all our Govern
mcnt Navy yards, and even invaded
the private ship yards on the Dele
ware, especially the notorious estab-
lishment of Mr.. Roach who is build.

A Bloody Tragedy at the Vaudeville
Theatre.--B Thompson and King
Fisher Shot Dead.
TSan Antonio Express IL inst.

TSan Antonio Express II inst.
Ben Thompson, the slayer of Jack
Harris and various other victims, and
King Fisher, the hero of many bloody
battles, are no more. They were
both shot dead about eleven o'clock
last night at the Vaudeville Theatre.
AS soon as it becams known that
rhese desperados had been killed a
great crowd of eager and curious
people congregated on the outside
and inside of the theatre and saloon,
and the crowd became SO dense that
reporters could scarcely penetrate.
Officers were Immediately placed on
guard and would only admit those
connected with the establishment and
newspaper men.
Thompson and Fisher were both
found dead, lying side by side as they
had fallen. Thompson had two shots
in the head, both just above the left
eve. Fisher was shot squarely in the
left eye.
The particulars of the killing, as
far as we were able to learn them last
night, were about these:
Ben Thompson and King Fisher
entered the theatre together shortly
before eleven o'clock, both under the
influence of liquor, and both armed
with six shooters. Joe Foster and
Billie Sims, proprietors of the thereat
and gambling house, were both seat
ell in the auditorium up stairs

The Facts Concerning the Change OF
Property In Our Water Power.''Not
10 Big Thing rs Runlored, but sun
Very Promising.

Very Promising.
Hearing 80 many various rumor1
as 10 the recent change of hands OF
the water power near this place, and
suspecting from a knowledge Of our
rather excitable and too believing
people that there might be gross
exaegerations involved, we deter
mined to ascertain the real facts for
the present issue ofthe FREE PRESS
Accordingly we interviewed Mr..
Jones, one Of the new proprietors,
at his room at the Prescott House.
We found him very intelligent,
affable and frank spoken young
gentleman; and we were soon let
into the real merits of the case.
He is a son of j. M. Jones, a Tex
as veteran, formerly of Galveston,
but now residing in New York.
His father having gone through the
Texas revolution, and been other
wise identified with her early his
tory, young Mr.. Jones, having
lust graduated at Princeton College,
felt inclined to begin where the
senior had left oil, and so revisited
our State. Years ago, his father
and himself had seer San Marcos,
and the old gentleman then called
his sons attention attention to it
as a promising place for him to
make a start. He therefore natur-
ally was led here again, and was so
we'll pleased with the place that he
thought of making some invest
ments here. Going on to San An
tonic he met with Mr.. Ostrom, an
old chum, who after inspection was
also much pleased with our town.
So they two concluded to invest in
the Fourqurean & Code property
and the matter, MS Mr.. Jones in
formed us, now stands thus;
Jones & Ostrom owna three fourths
interest and Mr.. Code has taken
the other fourth.
AS to what they will do, he in
formed us that nothing very def
mite had as yet been settled upon.
lie thought they would first pro,
coed to erect an refractory; would
decide that very soon. After that
they would follow with other i'm
provements as the demands of the
place and the prospect Of "making
it pay" might indicate.
The idea of their erecting a
$4,000 paper mill as telegraphed
to the newspapers by enterprising
reporters, Mr.. Jones regards as a
very good joke. He said he had
no idea how the story could have
originated, as they never proposed
or thought Of doing anything OF
the sort. He said while at college
he had given good deal of atten-
ton to chemistry, with reference
among other things to paper max
ing, he had spoken Of this, aud OF
the location as an admirable site for
a paper mill at some future day.
That was all. This however,
it seems, was quite sufficient to
cause our town gossips to originate
and circulate the story referred to.
Some of them are really gifted in
the art (to use the language Of one
of Sheridan's plays, in "clothing
ideal walls with gratuitous fruits,
