That's What They SAY.

After some years test it is found
that the f. +. Collins Manufacturing
company, of Houston street, San An
tonic, Texas, is the best and most re-
liable firm in the south for securing
and maintaining a supply of pure
water, and that their eclipse wind
mill is the best and simplest machine
for pumping water and irrigation.
These facts are daily demonstrated,
and none of the hundreds who have
secured the company services have
reason to regret it. OF course it costs
money to adopt the system, but the
charges are comparatively trifling,
and the investment is productive of a.
good aGd continuous dividend.

Panama Canal Reports.

PANAMA, Sept. 26.-As to the COM
pleted canal contracts, a well in
formed correspondent writes the Star
and Herald, ut is learned severa
Ontracts on the canal have been fin
ished and turned over to the Canal
company, and accepted after due in
spection. Facts are stubborn things,
and these facts irrefutably give lie to
the innun.erable vague floating ru-
mors that are in circulation, about the
Canal company shutting down work.
OF course they are shutting down, and
just as fast as they can, but only so at
completion of their work at the
Isthmus of Panama.

Reversed the Fact.

The Express yesterday startled It's
readers by announcing that 1.-THE will
of Henry Tolle was admitted to pro-
bate and A. Schnaith was appointed
executor" Now Henry Tolle is alive
and kicking-at the notice-and is
surprised to learn that his will is lad
mltted to probate" and as for poor
Schnaith he has been in his grave for
a week and is doubtless dumb with
astonishment at the executory powers
the Express gives him. The truth
however is that the Express has, as
usual, reversed matters. II was.
Schnaith's will that was probated,
and Henry Tolle is the executor, as
reported in the LIGHT Monday.

The Cattle kingn

This wild western play was pre-
sented to fair-siZed audience last
night at the Grand opera house, thus
closing the engagement of Mr.. Wal
lick at this house this season. The
company has played to above the
average business here for the three
nights, and left for Galveston last
night. After the performance of the
"Cattle King" it may be said it has
less gun firing and gun powder drama
in it than the Bandit King" more
real dramatic lines, and more comedy.
Miss Mary Wallick came out very
strong as a character actress, and
made a favorable impression, while
Miss Grace Fox, soubrette, conten ted
herself with a walking lady role.
The honors of the leading
lady were taken by Miss Van Sick
len, though her voice sadly marred
several points that should have come
out strong. Mr.. Wallick played his
dual part of bob Taylor" and
Daredevil Dick" very well, and
Lon Blanden gave fair presentation
of rich Mexican cattle owner. Most
of the comedy in the play was pre-
sented by o. w. Blake as Barney
Ryan," and he interpolated typical
song during the play. The scenery
was well arranged and appropriate,
and the acting of the trained horses
was wonderfully intelligent.

VINO Kicked that DOG d?

a rather amusing scene recently
occurred on a street car running be-
tween the International depot and
the Military plaza. A certain police
man and his dog were passengers on
the car. Now, the dog is great
favorite with the officer, is gent
well trained and valued by him al
most as child. When near the Mill
tary plaza the policeman alighted, and
as the dog followed some one petulant-
ly, cruelty and violently kicked the
dog in the head. The dog yelped, the
policeman turned round, ascertained
what occurred, and it raised his ire.
"Who kicked that dog?" madly de-
manded the police, bntno answer was
made. Then he put the direct ques-
ton to every one in the car, and all
denied it. The dogs jaw, however,
bore mute testimony to the kicking.
II see," said the policeman, "that
someone kicked my dog and is
ashamed of it. If 1 knew who it was
I'd give him the darndest licking, or
he should me. The man who would
kick a dog, so much better than he is,
must be coward of the first degree"
With this the policeman walked off,
and the dog followed evidently graft
fed with the conduct of his master.
