The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-06-13

The leading citizens of San Angela,
according to the Standard Of that place,
are tired of the telegraph monopoly be-
tween San Antonio and San Angela, and
have instituted movement TO build n
line to Abilene via Runnels, in order to
secure the accommodations they desire.
The Standard says; at is now three
weeks since any messages have been re-
oeived over the telegraph wires between
San Angela and San Antonio, and the
amount of inconvenience and annoyance
our banks and business men have suf-
fered in consequence must have been
considerable. 1t is quite apparent that
the line Is owned and controlled by n set
of mossbacks, who imagine that all they
have TO do is to increase the rate for
messages when they please and let the
fates take care of the line"

The BRENNAN Banner most truly OBJ
serves; "a reformatory for juvenile
offenders is one of the needs of the State
1t is shame to send boys under the age
OF Is years to the penitentiary. AT the
last regular session of the Legislature a
Dill was introduced for the establish
ment of State reformatory, but for
some reason 1t failed. AT the coming
session bill for the establishment OF
one or more reformatories ought to be
passed. 1t is an urgent pubic neces-
sity."

Steam Communication having
been fairly opened up by the above
Line Of steamers between Glasgow
and this Island, the undersigned
would beg to impress upon
Merchants and all Importers the
necessity of notifying their Agents
abroad when ordering goods to
forward them by this Line Of steam
ers, if regular sailings are to be
maintained.
AS the crop season progresses it
is to be hoped that the planters will
also show their interest in support
ing the Line, by rendering good
assistance in loading homewards.

Local Department.

Bro. Earle of the Day Spring, made US a
call on Saturday last.
The town was very tastefully decorated
for the democratic jubilee.
Dr.. f. A. Palmer of Hartford, made us a
pleasant call last Wednesday.
w. III. LeSuer Esq. of Marcellus, was in
town the other day greeting old friends.
For some reason or other, it became ne
cessary on Tuesday last to order the closing
of the saloons.
Several fellows got black eyes, broken
ings in the cooler.
John Davis and his daughter, Mrs. Sears,
of Worcester, Mass, are visiting relatives in
Paw Paw and vicinity.
The Hartford Day Spring has been des-
ignated as the paper to publish the delin-
quent tax list of this county.
The Cleveland Hendricks banner across
Main street, caught fire last Tuesday even
ing and was partially burned.
The pews in the Presbyterian church will
be rented on Tuesday, the 25th inst, at 2
O'Clock. Don't forget the date.
Perhaps it was good taste to ring a church
bell in celebration of a political victory, but
we know good many persons, democrats
as well as republicans, who don't think 80.
Farmers have improved the recent fine
weather and many of them have their falls
work done. On Saturday last the town was
filed with teams and our merchants had a
good days trade.

1'ae Democratic Jubilee.

Great preparations were made for the
celebration of the first democratic national
victory that has been won in twenty-eight
years. A large crowd was anticipated, but
such anticpations were not realized. Not
more than one fourth as many people were
present as at the republican mass meeting,
and-we regret TO say IL, but il IS true,
nevertheless-there we're more than four
times as many men intoxicated as there were
at the republican meeting. The procession,
while not large, presented fine appearance,
not the least attractive feature being the
wagons procured from the Gypsy camp near
this village. The load of girls in white also
looked well. Speeches were made at the
rink in the afternoon by Hon. G. s. May and
.. w. Powers of kalamazoo, which we did
not, and did not care to hear, as the cam
paign is over, and the outcome did not in
cline us TO listen to congratulatory addresses.
The most enthusiasm was displayed when
Rowland of the NoRTHERNER fulfilled the
terms of the wager he had made with Jor-
dan of the Courier. This took place at four
o'clock D. M, the ride being through the CEN
ter of Main street, from the NJ f. church to
the rink. One band preceded the high CON
tracing parties and another followed them,
while the crowd yelled themselves hoarse
over the spectacle. Jordan was enveloped
in "A banner labeled "Cleveland and Hend ,yx"
and Rowland wore ayard and a-half of ,rape
around his hat. At the close the crov gave
each of the parties three rousing cheers. 1t
is safe to say that, although the wager was
carried out faithfully, neither of the men
who participated in it, will ever make such
foolish bet sgain.
The day was closed with brilliant illu-
mination in the evening, accompanied by a
huge bonfire and display of fireworks. We
incline TO the opinion that in some respects
the Jubilee did not meet the full anticipations
of its promoters, while in other very unde-
sirable ways it far exceeded their most
sanguine expectations.

About two years ago four-years old girl
Of Jas. Stratton was taken suddenly sick and
grew rapidly worse. The physician gave it
as his opinion that SHE had been poisoned by
strychnine. She finally died in great agony.
1t had always been mystery to the family
how she got hold of the fatal dose until
few days ago his dog got like dose, when
il occurred to them that the first dose had
been thrown into the yard and was intended
for the dog but was picked mp by the child.
They very naturally feel as though some one
was making too free use of poison about
their premises and Jim advises them to be
little careful-Day Spring.

7.e Di0gers and thei, Demon.

The country around Boomer Hill,
just across the river, opposite Chero-
kee, was made hideous lately by the
recurrence of that savage custom
among the Indians known as their
burning. To observe this ancient
custom, which they regard with super
stitious sanetity, about so dusky sons
and daughters of the forest prepared
their soup, gathered their wood and
made all arrangements for the burning,
which took place about IL o'clock.
This place, Bloomer Hill, has been for
years the Indian burying ground, and
it is estimated that thousands have
been buried there. At sunseA they
sprinkled the graves with -four and
yelled as none but an Indian can until
exhausted. The next evening, after
being refreshed with grasshopper,
angleworm and acorn soup, they man
ufactured their demon. The materials
used in constructing his satanic majes-
ty were bones-any kind-and feathers
promiscuously gathered. He was
about four feet high. and looked as
much like the devil before day" as
can be imagined. About dark they
built a large fire and kept it burning
until midnight with wood gathered
for that purpose. Then commenced
the sacrifcial offerings, which consist
ed of wearing apparel and provisions,
which they suppose viii be waited by
something like presto change" to
their friends in the happy hunting
grounds. After burning about 500
pounds of flour, several squaW-loads of
bacon, numerous red handkerchief,
breaches and shirts, they listened to a
long and, of course, eloquent harangue
from a venerable buck. They then APP
point a committee to escort their inn
provised demon into the circle, where
he was given a warn reception. He
was brought within reach of the fire,
and amid the most terrific bowling I'M
tremendously precipitated into the
flames. This was the signal for the
most unearthly mingiing of whoops,
groans, female shrieks and general up
roar. which closed the barbaric scene.
