"Yes," said the railroad president to the
reporter, "it is time; l have resigned"
'Isn't this rather unexpected, thought
queried the reporter.
"Well, not to me-" responded the presi-
dent, "and the directors have been aware
for some time past that l contemplated
this move"
"Your business relations have not been
unpleasant"
con the contrary they could not hay
been pleasanter."
"Then what reason do you assign for re-
signing"
"Well, the fact is, l feel that am grow.
ing old right along, and desire to accu-
mulate something on which to retire from
business at the proper time. True, l may
lay away hundreds of thousands or a
couple of millions with my present advan.

sums in these times, and even then run
some risk in dropping it again.

RIGHT ROYAL RECEPTION.

HOME.
Evening Call.

Evening Call.
The act was very simple one, and he
may think it passed unnoticed.
But it was the grandest scene of the
whole reception. Such little things are
the index to a mans mind. They reflect
his character and general training, and
augur well for his future career. General
ly they pass unchronicled.
John d. Mccall gave only a moments
thought to the pageantry gotten up in his
honor as he landed from the train, until
he espied the carriage that contained his
mother and his grandmother, and then
made straight to their side. Then their
ewes were illumined with light tender as
a school girls love, and the bushes of
pride chased each other across their cheeks
as thew gazed on him whose side they have
stood by for over thirty years. What
sight could be more grand than that of
the mother welcoming the son who had
been so honored by his fellows, him whom
she had nurtured and who has so merlted
the loving, tender, watchful care that only
a mother can bestow? All other sights
paled into insignifcance.
"Some say that his mother and grand
mother were the great factors in his VIC
tory. Would that that we're more Often
the case," was the ejaculation that sprang

SOMETHING FOR POLITICAL AS
PIRANTS TO PROFIT BY.
In all ages of the world the black art
and necromancy has been looked upon
with strange awe. However enlightened
we may be we cannot divest ourselves of
superstition. All men are more or less
superstitious, but never in the history OF
the entire country, until now, has it caused
the friends of an aspirant to resort to the
well known
voUDOo CHARM
to aid him in his lauda5le undertaking.
That this has been done, and with navel
Gus success, too, is shown by the following
letter:
FRANKLIN, ROBERTSON Co., Aug. IA, 1886.
JOHN D. MCCALL, EsQ.-DEAR SIR: We
all send you congratulations on your NOM
ination. Merit and ability have been &C
knowledged, and the right man will be in
the right place when you enter your duties
as chief.

will be toting around in his pocket rab-

THE RASURES CASE.
A DISTINGUISHED WYER
INVESTIGATES THE MUIR
DERIN IN MEXICO AND
AT EAGLE PASS.
RASURES A GOOD MAN, AND HIS
WIDOW AND HEIRS CLAIM
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS DAMAGES.

Col John A. Baker, distinguished law
yer of the state writes from Uvalde,
August 9th and 18th instant, as follows,
touching the facts in the Rasures murder,
to prominent state official in this city
He says: Il have been investigating in
Mexico and Eagle Pass, the Rasures mat
ter at request of the
MOTHER AND WIDOW
of the unfortunate man who was SO
cruelty and inhumanly shot to death
After requesting hearing as an Ameri
can citizen, l have obtained affidavits
from good men on both sides of the river
including one from colonel of the Mex
lean army, which makes very strong
case. Their efforts to trump up charges
against Kasures came too late, for there
we're none except of personal and pri-
Nate character
Official search was made for
CHARGES AGAINST
Rasures, and none could be found, The
charges we're trumped up for the occa-
sion, as it is we'll known Rasures was a
good man and that his death was caused
by the action he took under orders in ar
resting the two brothers in-law of Mon
dragon, and it is declared that before
they shot him they said to him: "This is
the
where you arrested and disarmed them,
(alluding to the two men, Do you re-
member it?"
1 do not think, however, that
this changes the question, as
he was Kidnapped, and demanded
a trial as citizen of Texas, which was re-
fused. He was citizen of Texas, and as
such entitled to her protection, and
through her to the protection of the
United States.
shall put in claim for
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
damages in the name of the widow and
heirs of the murdered Rasures
As Rasures was citizen of Texas, and
entitled to vote, | will endeavor to obtain
the endorsement of Governor Ireland to
the Justice of the claim, and through him
have it forwarded to Secretary Bayard, as
it might be claimed that Rasures was not
a citizen of the United States,
and that we could not act except through
a demand from the governor of Texas.
Governor Ireland authorized the follow
ing reply: If the heirs or family were
living in Texas at the date of the murder,
the claim for
DAMAGES is PROPER,
and the governor of this state will have
no hesitation in endorsing it.

If Indigestion, constipation and biliOusness

from the lips of lady that was an eve
witness of the scene the reporter has So
feebly depicted.
Considering the short notice given there
was large number of citizens at the train
1t is seldom that ladies participate in the
reception of political candidates, but on
Saturday they were out in great force
They were not all young, either. Some
were there over whose brows, as attested
by silvery locks, the SHOWS of many win
tiers had passed. Both young and old
waved dainty kerchiefs as the carriage
containing Mr.. Mccall passed and doubt
less some breasts heaYed with the thought
II he were only my son, my brother, OF
perhaps something else"
Long before the time of the arrival of
the train, members of the reception COM
mittee gathered on the open space in
front of the depot. Among those whose
presence was noted were Judge Fillmore,
Hon A P Woodbridge, Col H E Shelley,
DR.. Walter Graham, Capt. Gibson, Mr. L
M Gregory, and j X Donnan, esq.
AS the train rolled slowly across Congress
avenue the Manning Rifle band struck up
lively air, and amid wild cries for Nc
Call, rush was made for the coaches. He
was escorted to carriage that was in
waiting, and there occurred that little
scene first referred to.
The procession, headed by the band
and detachment of the Austin Greys,
without unnecessary delay proceeded up
Congress avenue to the state capitol where
temporary platform had been erected.
Along the line of march there were fire.
quent outbursts of cheering.
On arriving at the platform Judge Full
more introduced Mr.. A. p. Woodbridge,
who read an address of welcome in behalf
of the citizens generally, which was full of
good wishes for the future career of Mr..
Mccall and commendatory of his past
life.
Mr.. L. M. Gregory spoke on behalf of
the young men and young women of Ira
Wis county, congratulating Mr.. Mccall up
on the high moral position he had taken
during the campaign and the manner in
which he had come out of it.
Mr.. Mccall was then introduced by Judge
Fillmore. He replied briefly to the ad-
dresses and paid tribute to his Office as
sociates whom he said were his warmest
supporters. The crowd then dispersed.
This triumph seems to be but an illus
tration of the lines:
"As insect toll at last the island rears,
Or mushroom pillars lift the wayside stone,
So he succeeds who truly preserves,
With powers conveyed to noble ends alone"

Although the friends of Mr.. Strider

stronger in the party than he ever
was. His conduct in defeat taught
the people what manner of man he is,

the better they like him. When the

was at it's height, Mr.. Strider said
he must not be nominated. His
