1T has been suggested that a tax of

in keeping out paupers and low crimi-

certainly need for some restriction on

as the above would be a good thing. 1t
would affectually put stop to the i'm
portation OF foreign labor by contract.

THE last issue of the STANDARD

The last issue of the STANDARD
completed the seventh year Of its
publication, and consequently this
issue begins its eighth year. Such
periods generally furnish the editors
of average country newspapers occa-
sions for much taffy and self-felicita-
ton, but in our satisfaction Of the
high esteem in which the STANDARD
is held by all its readers, and concious
of its great superiority over the aver
age country newspaper, we do not
deem it at all necessary to elaborate
the occasion. The STANDARD has
been under its present management,
jointly and solely, for little over
four years, and we expect to "hold
the fort" for good many years to
to come. We will ever exert our best
energies to make the paper bright,
newsy and interesting to all of its
readers, worthy its liberal patronage,
and a credit to the town from which
it emanates. We know that the
great majority of our local patrons
find pleasure in showing the STAND
ARD to strangers, and it is source of
much qualification to us to be able to
produce paper whichthe communi-
ty takes pride in. We already have
larger county patronage than most
weekly papers enjoy, but we are not
content with this. There are great
many families in the county not tax
ing the STANDARD, to whom we
know it would be worth far more
than the subscription price. We are
now making arrangements to offer
some desirable premiums for new
subscribers and we hope to largely
increase our list in the next few
months. 9 u igld DIE sri i@JCl

A Tramp Murdered for Money.

MOBILE, Oct. l6.--The body of a
white man, about 30 years of age, was
discovered this morning lying on the
sidewalk on Madison street near the
corner of Royal, ih the southern part
of the city, with a deep cash in the
right side of the neck, just below the
ear, the wound sevcring the jugular
vein, and must have caused instant
death, as there were no signs of any
struggle where the body lay. Inquiry
developed the fact that the man was a
tramp and drunkard, and came here
ten days ago, and has been begging
around town since. His pocket was
cut out, showing the object to have
been robbery.

Six Hundred Skeletons.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE old Dominion
church at Nice, known as st. Domini-
ca. is now used as a bakery for the
French army. A few days ago, when
the architect was employed to make
some examination of the roof he dis
covered in the garrets over six hun
dred skeletons that had been flung in
without order of arrangement. The
medical experts declare they must
have been buried in the church
three or four centuries ago. When
Nice was occupied by French soldiers
in 1892 the monks were driven out of
the church, which was used for mill
tary purposes, and it is supposed that
in making certain changes in the floor
the skeletons were thrown up into the
garlcts. The majority of the bones
are those of women, and among them
there is no doubt the skeleton of n
duchess of Savoy, who was buried in
the church. All the remains have
since been buried in one of the ceme-
teries of Nice.

SABINE PASS
Washed Away-Ovcr Fifty Lives Lost

GALvEsToF. Oct. H.. 1890 p. m.-
News is just received here that the
town of Sabine Pass was almost en-
tircly washed away by the terrific
storm of Tuesday night. Sabine Pass
is town of some 1900 people, at the
mouth of the Sabine river, on the
Texas Il Louisiana line. sixty miles up
the coast from Galveston and twenty
eight miles southeast of Beaumont, the
county seat of jefferson county.
Telcgraphic communication with
the town is cut of. but Il gentleman
who has found his way to Beaumont
furnishes the information that the en-
tire town was inundated. houses were
blown down and washed away by the
terrific winds from the gulf, and more
than fifty lives are lost. 1t was an
awful night and great was the fright
and suffering Of the people.
II is thought now that the bar in
front Of Sabine Pass will prevent any
tugs from landing. The Associated
Press have sent Il steam tug to the
Pass, and other efforts are being made
to get news from there and to send
them relief. Tug owners regard it as
dangerous and useless to attempt to
enter the trcachcrous channel since
the storm. The Associated Press is
also cndcavoring to procure full par
iiculars of the disaster by way OF
Beaumont. Country all about Sabine
Pass is under water and almost i'm
uassablc.
