''Trix.''

"Trix," the splendid shepherd dog
now with the Ranch King company
at the Grand Opera house, called
around to see the LIGHT this morning
in company with his master, Mr.. Jos.
ID. Clifton, who alone can handle him.
'"1'riX" can do almost everything ex-
cept to talk. He can drink whisky or
beer with great relish, can wink his
eye and make mashes on lady doggies
and perform other wonderful dog
tricks. He made quite a hit in Trini-
dad, Col, by saving a Mexican child
rom drowning and was given an ova-
ton by the Mexicans.

The Ranch King,

The Jos. ID. Clifton combination
presented the above titled drama at
the Grand Opera house last night to
crowded galleries and light parquet.
The company handles the play well.
1t was border tale, rough and I'M
hewn and is not the kind over which
Il dramatic critic need spread him
self. 1t is replete with adventure,
thrilling situations, emotional pass
ages and broad comedy. Miss May
Treat, or Mrs. Barnes, took the role OF
Jug" the child of nature. She is
petite and vivacious, off the stage as
well as on, and handles her pretty
silver mounted rifle like an expert.
GwendOlin Hamilton as Kate"
showed considerable dramatic talent
IN he work. Donald McDonald,n
he Ranch King, was portrayed by
Mr.. Mac NJ. Barnes. HIS horses were
beauties and were a great adjunct to
the play as was the performing dog
'TriX." During the evening several
vocal selections were given by men,
bers of the company. Today they are
epeating the Ranch King" for
matinee and tonight it will again be
produced.

THE DRUMMER'S WASHES,

Cold Day and they Left Him.

He Caught on Twice, But 1t Was
Cold Day and they Left Him.
A rather handsome drummer stood
in front of the Menger hotel bar last
night slipping toddy, and in conf
Dental mood told companion the
sad story of his adventures at the fair
during the day, which was almost as
follows: when got to the fair 1
met pretty girl. She had red hair,
such as the white horse delights in,
but she was pretty and had my eye
on her. Presently she dropped her
satchel. picked it up, handed it to
her and we got into a pleasant CONVEX
sation. 1 gathered from what she
said that she expected to meet a.
friend there, but was disappointed
and was all alone. OF course,
l offered to protect her, and
as she did not object, did so. es-
corted her around the building and
grounds, bought her several presents,
stood oysters and wine, arranged to
take her TO wine supper and to go
and see the Ranch King. A bout six
o'clock we went to the depot to return
to San Antonio and when there q
young fellow came up and said, "Why
Kate / have been looking for you
everywhere" gIasped her hands
warmly and kissed her. What is
worse she kissed him back, and they
walked off together leaving me alone
and feeling very cold. On arrival
in San Antonio / boarded a
street car and got next to
u petite but an atfaUle brunette.
We had a pleasant conversation
and | thought | had made a mash,
but at the corner of South Presa street
the street car stopped, some body
whistled a sort of bugle call, and the
lady rose up. l said, You are not
going to leave me, are you" Ger
cainly," she said, my husband calls
me-" and she vamOOsed with red
bearded son of a gun. Tell you what
it is, I'll do no more MASKING in San
Antonio, but if do you can depend
upon it | will avoid red headed wo-
men and red bearded men," Here.
the drummer sadly gulped down his
Whiskey ana retired to his room.

of its members and not before. The

Private Ira j. Chase for Governor.

Henuricks county hepuDuCau
The question then next to be considered is,
who shall be the gubernational candidate in In
danaf There are many good men, ranking In
different degrees o. availability. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that there are several Republicans In
the State who would prove quite as popular and
available as Albert G. Porter For one, at least.
the Republican Is ready to vouch. We refer to
private Ira J. Chase. who made the canvass of
the Fifth district for Congress against Col.
Matson in 1886.
Private Chase was department commander
of the Grand Army in Indiana for the year 1887.
and Immediately upon the expiration of his
term, he was unanimously chosen az depart.
ment chaplain, though. by the rules OF success
sion, he would have had to step aside This
evidence of his great popularity in the q. A. X.
organization is abundantly corroborated by the
returns for the Fifth district, where he is per-
personally and we'll known. as a minister and
citizen In the campaign of 1886 he succeeded
in reducing Matson's regular majority from
LOO to about 500 He is agreeable, whole
souled gentleman. and though ono of the best
mixers in the State, he is in no sense dema-
gogue. The mere placeseeking politician is
forever dscanting hypocritically upon the
wrongs of the s'dear people" and exhausting his
arts to adapt himself to the various whims and
foibles of his supporters. Mr. Chase presents
to all he meets one face, one character aud one
purpose; and therein lies the secret Of his popu-
larty.
There ia not man in tho Fifth district who
does not know that Colonel Matson Was turned
forever from his congressional aspirations by
Chaplain Chase The Colonel is q slick citizen,
and seeing that Chase had cooked his goose in
tho Fifth district he had the Voorheesian
.audacity TO ask for the nomination for Govern
or, and got It, Notwithstanding the plain
evidence of Private Chases superior popularity
in fair fight Ii would be in accordance with
the eternal fitness of things to nominate
against Matson the man who beat him winning
votes in his last fight for Congress. Chase can
carry the Fifth district this year if placed anent
his old antagonist, and the Republican Is as
sure of his election, if nominated, it 10 of the
survival of the fstest in any other part OF the

IL the Democrats depart from their invarisble
custom since 1872 of taking one of their can
didates from indiana, the chances will be vastly
increased that the Republicans will go there

in Massachusetts, strong feeling that ono or

that each of these three gentlemen appears not
