Silver King.

The Silver King, written by Messrs.
Jones & Herman, is without doubt the
most successful ana interesting play of
the present day. 1t is one of the best
evidences that the stnge can be used as
n vehicle to convey great moral teach
ing. The verdict of enthusiastic audi
ences who filled the Princess theatre,
London, and Wallack's, New York,
through long series of performances
was unanimous one. Mr.. Harry
Miners company, which will appear to-
night at Turner hall, is composed of the
same artists as presented it for so long
time in New York, and that Is a
criterion that it will be good perform
anoe. Manager Howard informs the
LIGHT that Turner hall will be comfort
ably heated, and no complaint will be
now made as to II being an Ice house.

Suggestions and Reflections.


Editor san Antonio Liah,;
The Indictment weather and my not
robust health have been keeping me in
my little sanctum on Government hill,
where | have been thinking, studying,
writing, reading the papers and wonder
ing. have been wondering why the
good people OF San Antonio, who have
means. do not club together and manage
some way to give employment to persons
In this city who need work and cannet
get IL. II seems to me that men OF means
who are accustomed TO think and plan
might benefit themselves as well as
others by so doing.
There seems to be only few persons,
comparatively. who are capable, or who
have the habit, Of ordering their
thoughts, actions and plans SO as to pro-
duce practical and beneficial results.
"llabits and use are powers" that de-
serve much consideration.
Some minds incline, naturally, TO hab-
its of industry and economy that pro-
duce wealth, while some incline TO
habits Of idleness and waste fulness that
produce poverty. Industrious, careful
people are continual reproach to the
idle and improvident; hence the latter
| do not profit by the lessons they might
learn from the former.
Some of our so-called great men belong
! to this latter class, and sooner or later
they come to grief.

says that village is in furore of excite

ago at a cave nine miles southeast of that
place. Lately company of lumbermen,
Tabor & Hopkins, purchased large scope
OF land on which the cave is located. Two
or three days ago Mr.. Hopkins, in COM
pany with three employees of the company
entered the cave and explored it as far as
Spring river, which runs through the cave.
AT this point one OF the exploring party
suggested that the river was as far as any
one had ever entered in the cave. At this
suggestion Mr.. Hopkins said they would
be the men who would put themselves on
record for pushing the triumpAs further.
Thereupon the party crossed the river, and
went three miles further than any party
had ever penetrated. Finally, arriving at
large chamber in the shape of an ampi-
tbeater, large white, glistening object was
discovered. A near approach proved it 10

Fight In A Church.

Mexico, Mo-, Sept. 15.-Lsddonia is a
small, but red-rot little village on the Chi.
cago and Alton road, east of here, in this
county, and scarcely day passes that il
does not produce some sort of a sensation
for the gossips of the town to feed upon.
The latest and most to be regretted of all
these social affairs occurred YESTERDAY,
at the close Of morning services at the
Baptist church. A regular old-fashioned
fight took place between James @. Bruton's
divorced wife aud Mis- Pearl Hughes, a
young lady of high standing in society
and member of the church 10 which
the row occurred. After considerable
of scufie, the combatants were sep.
arsted and peace restored without much
injury TO either party. The affair is all
the talk OF The community and is reported
TO be the result Of ivalou>y on the part OF
the divorced wife, who i said to have been
the sggre-sor on this occasion. Mr.. Bruton,
who had been p)stm aster of Laddoai, for
several years, has only BEEN. divorced from
ms wife short time, and hsd at one time
since bis divorce, taken out a license TO
wed Miss Hughes, but the young lady's
parents made such strong objections to the
match that it was declared off and Mr..
Bruton sou ght vile elsewhere binding her

friends regret very much that su IA a dis
graceful affair as that of yesterday should
have occurred.

Very ConsOlinp.

The Jefferson City Tribune thus attempts
| to con ole her people over the outlook for
again receiving the 60 by in railroad mat
| tiers:
There is no reason whatever for our
citizens to feel discouraged because the pro.
jectors of the Chicago d Memphis railway
have ordered the survey of a roue from
Roila to Bowling Green, via hermann.
That the road will be constructed there
Stems to be no doubt at The present time.
The men who are going to furnish the
money TO build il are DESTROYS, before they
commence work, of obtaining all the infor-
nation possible. as TO the shories', cheap
est and most practicable roIte. hence the
survey to Bowling Green by way of Her
mann Is being made. Whs this is complet.
ed, the prOfles and OH information as 10
the cost per mile of construction, will be
submitted to the capitalists. A comparison
will be made between the figures CT this
survey and the one made TO this CITY
from R9lla. From the character of the
country between Hermann and Rolla. we
believe that it will be impossible to find
the easy grades and favorable route en-
countered between Jefferson Civ and
Rolls, and that the cost Of building a road
from Rolla to Hermann will exceed the
estimate made on the line to this city by
several thousand dollars per mile. In ed
dition, We have the advantage over the !
line to Bowling Green of fifty miles of road |
already in operation, and the cost of get
ting out of the river bluffs to the prairie,
after leaving Hermann, will prove a strong |
argument for jefferson City. Besides this
the counties south of here want railroad |
connecting them with the capital of the |
state, and they will fight hard, if there is |
any necessity for fight. and we believe no |
such necessity exists to have the road built |
to this city"
