The monkeys which inhabit the jungles
formidable antagonists to the construction
of telegraph lines. They are very numerous,
and their favorite diversion is to climb the
telegraph poles and go through gymnastie
exercises on the wires. Linemen assert that
often a hundred able bodied monkeys may
be seen swinging on the wires, festoened
monkey fashion, by looping their tails. The
continuous vibrations Of these forest gym
nasts start the iron nails used on the CROSS
arms, and these often come down, bringing
the wire with them. And it is not a safe
matter to undertake to disperse these robust
monkeys who play the dickens with the tele.

Tabasco Linemen have found that on shoot

A bill providing for new compulsory ed
ucation law is to be introduced in the New
York legislature. After enjoining the at
tendance at school of all children between
the ages of eight and fourteen it provides for
the appointment of truant officers clothed
with ample powers, charged with the duty of
securing obedience to this most salutary man
date. It is further provided that by Septem-
ber, 1891, every city and union free school
| district shall provide adequate accommoda-
tions s'for all pupils of school age residing
within the limits of such city or district, "
and failure to comply with this provision is
to be punished by the forfeiture of the pub
lie money apportioned to the offending city
or district. The other important section of
| the measure looks to the erection of State
school to which magistrates may commit
children who are shown to be vagrants or
| habitual truants. School attendance in the
State of New York is not keeping pace with
| the population and it is thought time to dc

country home a lovely abode for q
gentleman of taste and culture
His heart had chosen companion
for his future joys. His dreams
and visions painted a home scene
and circle to his own delight. His liberal
hospitality should there give best OF
cheer to friends and neighbors. The
sagas of his boyhood, the journeys of his
young manhood in this country, il
Europe and the East Indies, his training
and life as soldier; all these he hoped
and planned to transplant in some way to
his Texas home. When all things were
com pleted his beloved father and sisters
were to come from Norway with their
blessings upon his home and to rejoice
with him.
Alas, how soon the unexpected, the in
exorable of his life crushed his building
of imaginary happiness.
The sad loss of his right arm, two
months ago, seemed to shatter his nerv-
Gus system. His cheer and ambition
never returned after that painful accident.
His noble physique dis6gured, his ability
to labor crippled, all his JOY and hope and
ambition came to stand-stil, then with
cred and died. Poor man he died weary
and heart-broken. His physical strength
undermined for want of sleep and food, the
heat of the sun, the worry of the mind and
the wound of his disappointed heart
easily snapped the feeble thread of life
Few have ever witnessed the stalwart,
grand looking man SO rapidly and per-
ceptibly dwindle into a shadow and death.
Few of US knew his inner life, for with
the gentleness of sensitive nature, he
bore his trials alone and covered up his
wounds. Those who knew him best will
testify that Mr.. Schultz was warm hearted,
generous and loyal to his friends, home
and promises. An oral promise was as
binding on his conscience as written
contract.
We will cherish his memory for the
eminent virtues he revealed to us. We will
forget his failipgs, for they we're
the bitter fruits of his disappoint-
ments, his sufferipgs and his melancholy.
The weary, the heart-broken Waldemar
G. Schultz, of Christiania, Norway, once
the brave soldier of the Dutch East Indies,
and the restless, ambitious tourist and
prospector, has now entered the. chamber
of his undisturbed rest. In land OF
strangers he has found the rest for which
his heart at times sighed. Far from
his family and friends, his kin by nation,
atty, and our sympathetic American citizens
give him an honorable burial. We mourn
over his misfortune and untimely death.
We send the bereaved father and sisters
our coincidence, and trust their sorrows of
bereavement may be lessened by blessings
temporal and eternal. Farewell, Waldo
mar G. Schultz, your Texas friends drop
their flowers on your fresh grave, and will
ever remember with grief that your jour
ney of life among US was SO brief.
Friends on both sides of the ocean, and
in the distant isle of Java will shed tears
and cherish memories of your romantic
pilgrimage.

THE GOLDEN SLOPE.
California to give Harrison a Black
Eye.
The Almond-Eyed Celestial "Hol'
Ter Like Hellee All Samee
Llpubllcan"

The following is taken from a letter
received by gentleman in this city from
Mr.. Winston Hopkins, formerly of Austin,
but now residing in San Francisco. 1t is
dated June 26, the day after the nomins-
tions at Chicago:
"There is much comment to-day upon
the nomination of Harrison by the re-
publican convention. His position on
the Chinese question when in the United
States senate is strongly condemned, and
even among strong republicans great dis
satisfaction Is expressed. The magni-
tude of the Chinese question on this coast
is something remarkable, and not one
thousandth part of the people east notice
what factor the Chinaman Is, not only
in politics but in business. There are at
least $4,000 or 10000 Chimes in San Fran
cisco, located right in the heart of the
city, and more thoroughly detested race
of people cannot be found elsewhere. They
are hated by all classes of people, aud
especially is this true of the laboring
classes. The honest white laborer of the
Pacific coast would rather starve than use
anything known to have been handled by
a Chinaman, and the labor organizations
are always vigorous in their war upon the
almond eyed Pagan, The result of the
nomination yesterday will undoubtedly b.
that California, although generally repub
licen in presidential years, will give Har-
rison black eye, and cast majority for
Grover Cleveland. This I get from good
authority. 1t is the echo of republican
sentiment in this city and throughout the
state.
The Chinese last night, when they
learned that Harrison had been nominated,
got up monster procession with torch
lights and bonfres. 1t was "killer" to
the republicans, who endeavored to re-
press it, but without tuo ,ess. Min Kee,
one of the wealthiest Cinnamon
here, decorated his place in grand style.
He was in great ecstacy over the nomina-
ton. Some one asked him what he was
so jolly about, that he could not vote. He
said, "Don't care. Harrison, Chinaman's
friend, and me boiler like hellee all samee
lipublican." The white laborers sur
rounded his house, tore down the decora-
tions and threatened to burn down the
house if he kept it up. He finally closed
his demonstration after being talked to
by some republicans. l am not posted on
the situation in New York or Indiana, and
do not know what effect Harrison's nomi-
nation will have on those states, but for
the Pacific coast he is splendid demo
cratic nominee"

A Good Citizen Gone.

Noticing the death of our respected
fellow townsmaD, Mr.. George W. Samp-
son, the Houston Post comments as fol-
lows:
George w. Sampson, who died in Aus
tin on June 20, after lingering illness of
many years, was one of four brothers;
Henry Sampson, who lately died in Gal
weston, being one of them. A few years
ago, or at the close of the war, another
brother lived in San Antonio and fourth
in Burnet. These brothers all possessed
remarkable business capacity. Henry,
who lived in Houston during the war,
was regarded by the Elder T. W. House as
the best business man in the state. Yet
he never succeeded in accommodating much
property. George W. was formerly of the
firm of Sampson IL Hendricks, general
merchandise merchants. When the war
broke out George bad handsome fortune,
and was ready to 60 out of business, but

MATTERS POLITICAL.
A Stir Among the Able Candidates
Yesterday.
Much Uneaslness Prevailing the
Camps on Fame's Eternal
Camping Ground.

You noticed the people in town yester
day.
If you noticed anything at all you did
for they were in groups on the corners
and up about the court house.
They were there discussing politics and
such things.
The primaries held Saturday and Satur
day night bohered the candidates, and
they were trying hard yesterday 10 FIND
out just how delegates stand, very
difficult thing to do.
Each and every candidate figured up
the result, and then in a burst of conf
dence told every man he met that he had
the other fellows and felt sorry for 'em.
The Investigations yesterday we're
highly unsatisfactory and consequently
many aspirants who have been in the
bush on the roadsides pushed through the
branches and let it be known either in
person or by friends that they were ready
and willing to be sacrificed.
Among the names Judge Joe Lee was
mentioned for the legislature. There
were also three "C.'s" spoken of, and be-
fore convention day "the three big O.'s
may be in everybody's mouth.
OF the seven or eight
candidates for sheriff it's hard to
tell who is the favorite,
but Corwin, Thorp, Thrasher and all the
rest were often spoken of, and no doubt
one of them will get the nomination.
The state senator ls causing much stir,
and no man knows what the outcome will
be. There may be surprises yet over the
senatorship. Who will he be, anyhow
Will the Farmers Alliance name the man
The Alliance is openly doing so slse-
where. Watch and see what you
see next Saturday week. So
far, the county attorneyship is am
bling along sorter one sided, and hot as is
the weather, the appearance of certain
pc liar candidates sends chill down the
spine of the other fellows. Alliance COM
plications, however, are darkly limited
about this particular Office. Watch and
You will see.
There are several names mentioned for
the position of superintendent of schools,
but the race, like that for
county attorney, on the surface
at least, appears to be sorter one-sided
By the way some one started to report
that DR.. j. w. Poindexter, one of the
aspirants, has only third grade certifi-
cate. This report County Superintendent
Maxwell, candidate for reelection, says
is untrue, and that the doctor has first
grade certificate.
The district iudgeship matter is still in
an unsettled condition.
Mr.. Ben Pillow, it is quietly talked
around, will step to the front and again
contest for honors against Mr.. Morris fol
the position of tax assessor.
