For the LIGHT.

For the LIGHT.
The death of the emperor of Germany
at this juncture would be unfortunate
for the peace of Europe, as his son
would be aggressive and exscting In case
of war; Saxony, Bavaria, Westpbalia,
Hanover etc., would very likely desire
to regain their independence.
Mills has been delivered after a pro-
tracted CESSATION of his speech in favor
of free trade, and is doubtless joound
and happy. He has exploded a dyna-
mite bomb under the democratic party
and blown it to pieces.
Modesty is still q quality that odorns
women, who are imbued with 1t. 1t
invests women with "sweet attractive
grace" that ia irresistible, while immod-
esty disfgures the lovliest woman.
History repeats itself-events move in
a circle. In 1888, the French revolution
famed out and was followed by q war
of % years duration. The year 1889
will very probably witness the break
ing out of q general war in Europe. 1t
will be both social and political war
The surplus In the treasury Of Texas
should be spent wisely. Little minds
and great empire 60 i'll together"

LANGTRY'S LENGTH,
Disported in Fine &c W-GaWS Before
San Antonio Audience of
Beautiful Ladies',

Disported in Fine &c W-GaWs Before
San Antonio Audience of
Beautiful Ladies'.
Mrs. Lily LangIry, the famous Eng
lish woman, whose strange freaks first as
wife, then a beauty, and who has un-
der the warmth of the Prince of Wales
influence, attempted to become an &C.
tress. appeared last night In San An
tonic for the first time at the Grand
opera house. The very light and me-
diOcre French society drama she played
"a Wife's PERIL" was SO weak and
wstery that her audience, which was
all too large for her merits, either as an
actress, a beauty or a woman OF fashion.
were sOrelv disappointed and wished
they had been content to nurse their
curiosity and saved their So per seat.
All the consolation that could be gotten
out of 1t for them, was that they had
seen Langtry and that was very poor
consolation, Langtry may have been
pretty English woman years ago, but is
not now, though she has regal figure.
She is in her private car and has Freddie
Gebhsrdt with her, who sails under the
name of w. Sumpter. A telegram from
Houston in the morning paper has this to
say Of the young man:
April EU.-ME5. LduRlT1
Freddie Gebhardt was here with the
Lily last night, and got into trouble.
After the play he and Manager Keogh
took a carriage to drive to Mrs.
Lsngtry's special car at the Central
depot. The coach was out some distance
on one of the middle tracks, and the
depot Waterman stopped the driver Of
Mrs. Langtry's carriage and refused to
allow him to drive out among the tracks
to the coach, as it was dangerous. This
made Freddy and Manager Keogh mad,
and they jumped out OF the carriage and
assaulted the officer, who, seeing ii was
an unequal fight, retreated to the home
of Justice Rally and secured warrants
for the arrest of Gebhardt and Keogh,
on the charge of assaulting an officer in
the discharge Of his duty. Then, REIN
forced with two other officers, the watch
man commenced a search for the two
offenders. They were in Mrs. I.angtry's
coach, but she empbatically denied 1t
and agreed TO pay any cost the justice
would assess if he would keep the affair
from the ears Of the reporters. The
fines and costs were fixed at $79. So
which the Lilly" promptly paid, and
gave the officers an extra S. not to men,
tion the stfair-but they mentioned it
just the same.
At matinee today she is presenting
Lady Of Lyons" and tonight will sp-
pear in "As In Looking Glass" which
all 1.-the boys" swear they are going TO
see.

MEDINA, April 10,

Republican County Convention.
MEDINA, April 10,
Editor Daily LIGHT:
At convention Of republican voters
of Bandera county, held in Medina, on
the 18th inst, of which w. G. Robinson
was chairman and w. D. Smith secre-
tary, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That during the three
years of democratic administration just
passed, that party has shown a lament
able incapacity in graphing with grave
dreary record OF weak states
msDship, unredeemed pledges, official
acknowledgement and corruption in high
places.
Resolved, That the late utterances Of
President Cleveland and of Roger Q.
Mills, chairman of the congressional
ways and means committee, as we'll
as the position assumed by large ma
jority of representative democrats on
the tariff question, oOnclusively show
that the democratic party has no claim
upon the sufirages of those who believe
in the principles of protective tariff.
Resolved, That the people of Bsndera
county, without regard to former party
utilization, whose business interests and
welfare would be SO injuriously affected
by any approximation to free trade,
and who osndidly think that the Amer
lean market should be controlled by the
American people, are referred to the
record. and urged. as we'll as invited, to
stand by their friends and support the
republican party at the polls.
Resolved. That the huge democratic
majority cast in Texas at the last gen.
eral election has been a continual men
ace to the prosperity of the state,
warranting sense of proprietorship on
the part of the powers that be" that
could not readily be overthrow, how
ever offensive their course Of action.
A. Mcneil, Esq, the leading mer-
chant of Medina, was duly elected as
delegate to the Fort Worth convention,
with proxy powers.
DR.. w. G.. Robinson, chairman of the
county executive committee, was au
thoriZed to appoint one member in each

tons was ordered furnished the StN

Vigilants After the Horse Thieves.
WICHITA, KS, April 2l.-Horse thieves
have become so daring In Texas and
Kansas, adjoining the Indian Territory,
and so unusually bold in their periodical
raids, that the farmers have formed a
vigilance committee for the purpose
of exterminating the thieves. some
with wholesalers, aixshooters and
lariats, started on the trail OF the
marauders, and ten days ago they sud-
denly run across the thieves In a deep
ravine, in the western part OF the terri
tory. The outlaws were in their blan-
kets, but not asleep. When the Wig ilants
rode up to the crest of the ravine the
thieves, who were in command
of Bill Higgins, alias Scar Face,
sprang to their horses, but in
mounting. one Of their number was shot
dead, and the others put spurs to their
animals and were soon throwing dust
and bullets into the eyes of their pur-
suers. After furious ride, lasting all
day, the vigilants succeeded in dri wing
the gang upon butte, near Small Creek.
The vigilants approached, and they
were met by volley which brought
down one of their number, Peter
Alderman, of Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
The thieves were surrounded as we'll
as possible and the fight continued, one
by one the rifles of the outlaws were
silenced, until but few flashes answered
the vigilants rifles. About dusk a white
rag was hoisted on the summit of the
butte, the vigilants were greeted with
another volley and charged up the hill.
Three OF the outlaws escaped, but
Soar Face Hank Window and Curly Bill,
were captured, Curly Bill and Window
were riddled with bullets, but Scar Face
although nearly dead from loss of blood,
was dragged to death, suspended by
lariet from the pommel of his saddle.
Four other members Of the gang were
found dead behind their stone barriers.
