LOPEZ TO THE RESCUE.
The Anti-RingSter Again in the
Field Determined to
Fight.

The LIGHT has chrOnicled the re-
turn of Manuel Lopez. After having
taken part as captain" in the 9Th
ward in the New Orleans revolution
which broke a powerful ring there he
comes here and is determined to re-
new the fight he made upon "the
ringn at the last election, working
mainly among the Mexican voters
wherein lies the San Antonio
"ring'sn main hold. He finds things
altered materially since he left for the
Knights of Labor, his main support
then, has become demoraliZed through
traitors in the ring influence. Travis
assembly, the first in the city, is dead
and so likewise are the Painters, Mex
lean and German assemblies and of
six assemblies in the city only two
now are in existence. This is adj
verse, but Lopez is not discouraged.
Many MeXicans have already fiocked
to his banner, and he has already con-
siderable "white" support. A large
organization is being formed that
shall control the whole city by wards
and if all be true that is stated, there
will spring up powerful association
that shall make its influence felt in
the coming election. Lopez comes OF
a revolutionary stock and is man
calculated in the end to accomplish
his aim, though he may be tempo
rarily defeated. All things consider
ed, the city administration is likely
to near something "drap" that will
make noise and may crush it. in the
fall.

Histife Danger,

DIR. Lindner and his uniting party
have returned home after a most er-
ioyable trip to the san Geronimo. Moth
ing worthy of mention occurred be-
yond the fact that on the first day
Specht found two ticks had taken
possession of his body. These he hu-
namely let 60. "Oh!" remarked the
doctor, "you should not do that. They
have found such good pasture that
they'll 60 and bring the whole gang
back with them" The next night
Specht couldn't sleep for ticks, and
he killed them by the hundred. The
mosquitoes were mighty large and
particularly troublesome. One of
these seized DR.. Lindner with his
fangs, and was bearing him off, a la
eagle, when a prompt and effective
shot from Nagle's buffalo rifle killed
the mosquito and released the doct Or
from his perilous position. At least
that's what the other hunters say,
but of course, the LIGHT don't vouch
for the accuracy of the story.

The Other Side.

Mrs. Nellie A. Durnette, the lady
whom the LIGHT published as being
sued for divorce, in Wednesdays is
sue, called at the LIGHT office last
evening and made the following state
ment: She says the reason she would
not live with her husband was be-
cause he could not support herself and
two children, and that he would come
home drunk and abuse and beat her.
She further states that her two child
rem being in the Home for Destitute
Children, is true, but she is paying IS
a month for their support in the
Home. She is at present being cared
for by her bro her, to whom she went
after she left her husband, who was
abusing her so as to be m able.
In conclusion she stated that she had
witnesses to prove the above state
ments.

Marcus Martinez borrowed Gem
bler's wagon yesterday and went rid

much tanglefoot, hollered, drove all
over the streets, scared pedestrians
and had lively old time of it. Then
he went home on a hurrah and was
so boisterous that Gembler, for safety,
had to tie him up hands and feet and
leave him at the bat cave. This
morning Martinez was fined $25, and
Gembler, like good Samaritan, paid
his fine and took him home.

WHICH is BEST?
An Authoritative Opinion Upon the
Local Rocks for Building.


Local Rocks for Building.
1.-THE article in the LIGHT" said an
expert geologist, Prospecting the rocks
to be used in the city hall, is good
one in many respects, but you are
wrong in supposing that the Kerrville
rock is inferior either to San Geronimo
or the BALCONIES rocks. That the San
Geronimo is a good rock none will
deny, because its excellence has been
we'll tested and proved, but
the Kerrville rock is practically
the same thing, running in
the same veins through Bandera
and Kerr counties. 1t is in
every respect the equal of all San
Geronimo rock, and is superior to
many specimens from those quarries.
The courthouse at Kerrville, and rock
houses built in that city of Kerrville
rock, proves this and so satisfactory is
it that the Richmond courthouse is
being built of the Kerrville rock.
Builders and monument men OF the
city will tell you the same thing. OF
course the KerrvilIe rock is cheaper
than the San Geronimo, because We
have railroad facilities for its
conveyance here, and as it
lays in good layers the rock is
easily quarried, but it's quality as
I said, is the equal of San Geronimo
rock. The BALCONIES is good rock,
but it is too susceptible to atmospheric
influence and cracks, chips, and peals
off in shavings which makes it most
unreliable for building purposes. Here
are samples of the San Geronimo and
Kerrville rocks and you can see for
yourself that what L say is correct;
In fact, you can hardly tell
the Kerrville from the San Ge'
ronimo rock. The Kerrville rock is
as good as the other rocks and it is
the cheapest and think that before
any one kicks or the council insists
upon the dearer rock, that they should
get an expert to examine the rocks.
Then they will find out that it is real
Iy to the interest of the citizens that
Kerrville rock should be used"

Tit for T at.

On Friday evening a certain widow

car, escorting home well known
married lady. His arm was around
her, and it seemed evident that good
understanding existed between the
twain. 4 little later the husband of
that married lady was seen in one Of
the boxes of local variety show, pay
ing amorous attention to one of the
painted Jezebels Of the place.
Strange to say, a farce was then being
enacted on the stage in which a negro
was being engaged to look after luna
tics, who was possessed of strange
Authorizations. The proprietor, in eX-
planning matters, says: Nov that
lady imagines she is a pump" The
negro goes up to the lady and says:
care you pump?"
"Yes,n is the response, II am a
pump"
well" interrogates the negro, "if
you are a pump, where's your
sucker?"
+ ooh" responds the pump-ious lady
pointing to the husband, "he is
there" And the truth was spoken in
jest.
