posse. If they were here to keep the
peace and in the interests of law and or
der merely, why did they permit the
demonstration that was made. "Capt.
McMurray was not the man to go there
unprepared, he went under orders from
Gen. King and Governor Ross, and had
asked advice from two (2) district judges
before going, as to the law points which
might arise. -
He examined the writ under which
the constable was acting, and saw that
it was all right, and the men who were
with the constable were claimed by him
as his posse. The judge further says:
Glow a force of rangers came to be
ordered here upon any state of facts
connected with the case i'll which they
acted, how man of so little intelli-
gence as the course pursued implies
came to be assigned TO such duty, IS a
matter of profound wonder and aston
ishment to all the people of Roberts
county not in the confidence of those
who dictated this movement.
1t is not necessary to say anything in
response to this TRADE against Capt.
McMurray, as the governor knows him
to be a good officer, and one always
ready and not afraid to do his
duty. AS HIS TeCOIu VI tSh
years as a captain of rangers will witness,
his many friends on the western frontier
of Texas, and the large number of
criminals he has brought to justice well
know him to be a cool and brave officer,
and has been noted for using good judg-
ment on occasions of this kind. In fact,
on this occasion ne made no use or show
of force, merely advising the little fac
+jou that the cOuSta blp had DTODpr DaOers
and was legally right. PANHANDLE.

A Limitless Field.

The president of the British Associa-
tiOn, Professor Fowler, endorses s.
Sohn LubbOck's idea that the field of in
quiry is limitless. and that there may be
"fifty other senses as different from ours
as sound is from sight; and even within
the boundaries of our own senses there
may be endless sounds which we cannot
hear and colors as different as red from
green of which we have no conception
These and thousand other questions
remain for solution. The familiar world
which surrounds us NAV be a totally diff
ferent olace to other animals. To them it
may be full of music which we cannot
hear. of color which We cannot see. of
sensations We cannot conceive.

MORTON'S SALOON.
The Founder Of the Story Not to be
Found in Washington.
The True Facts ia Regard to the Cdse-St
F0anddtiOn for the Statement
Whdfrrer.

Miss Wilards charge that Vice Presi-
ed bv an Inter Ocean special from Wash
ington, ID. G.:
The story is again repeated that Vice
President Morton has bar in his new
apartment hotel in This city. A dispatch
has heen received here to the effect that
one H. b Moulton has telegraphed to
the W. c. 7. U. convention in Chicago
to-day. stating that the only bar-room
license in this city has been taken out by
Vice President Mortons Hotel The
name of III. B. Moult0n does not appear
in the last directory of Washington City.
but whoever that person is he is giving
new currency to tale that has often
been denied. The facts are these: l.
That the vice president does not own or
keep hotel here. 2. That he does not
lease To anyone any hotel. hall. house or
apartment or tenantable habitatiOn of
is or has been located. What is general
ly called Vice President Mortons hotel
is not Il hotel. 1t is an immense apart
.ment house. named The Shoreham. 1t
Is in no sense a hotel. Transient guests
are not accommodated there 1t is fur
nished apartment house. the furniture in
which is owned by the hotel The flats
are rented in suits only for term not
less than one year. The building is like
ly To be occupied quite generally by con-
gressmen. Sixteen congressman have
already secured ap pirtments. among them
Senator Farwell, of Illinois. and Con
gressmen Ta' lor and Cannon. of that
state. All are obliged to take their
quarters for year. There is no bar in
the house. There has been no bar in the
house. asked Congressman Hit. of H.
linois, who had received inquiries from
his district, as to what he knew about
the matter. He said that he had made
personal investigation. with this result:
Tht re is and has been no bar there, and
II is not the purpose of anyone to keep
bar there. Each apartment is entitled to
q vault in the basement for the purpose
OF storing whatever it may be thought
desirable 10 store. 1t is for the persons
who rent the separate apartments TO de-
eide what they may store there They
can keep potatoes or liquor or whatever
they please; but there is no bar upon
tine premises. The experience of Mr..
Hit is the experience of everyone.
The simple fact is that there is no bar
in the Shoreham. Mr. II. r. MouIton,
who is said TO have sent a telegram to
Chicago. stating that there is bar there,
or the editors of the temperance paper
which is said TO be circulating the report
in the west that there is gorgeous drin-
king bar in this establishment are mis-
leading the public There is no bar
there. A telegram in an evening paper
states that in address delivered before
the convention the statement was made: |
Our protest shoCld be sent to the vice
pres d .nt for permitting saloon under
his hotel There is no saloon there. and
there has not been. The basement is |
wholly occupied with these private vaults |
for the use of the lesees of the several |
apartments"

The Bpecter Guest.

An undertaken in Madrid, who lived
over his shop, ono night gave a grand
ball. At the hight of the festivities .
gentleman in full evening dress joined
the company. He danced with the
hostess and her daughter, he danced
with the guests. He scanned to enjoy
himself thoroughly. The undertaken
thought he recogniz d the face, but
didn't like to be rude and ask the
strangers name. BY and by all the
guests departed and only the unknown
WAS left.
"ShalI send for O cab for you? .
SAid tho host at last.
mo. thank you, I'm staying in tho
house."
"Staying in tho housep Who are
you, sir?"
"Why don't you know me? I'm the
Corpse that was brought in this after
noon"
The undertaken in horror rushed to
the mortuary chamber, where in Spain
it Is usual for the dead to be removed
The coffin was empty.
His wife and daughter had been dane
ing with corpse!
But it turned out thut the gentleman
bad only been in trance and had SUE
denly recovered. Hearing tho revelry
above, and being possessed Of q keen
though ghastly sense Of humor, no had
got out of his coffin and joined the fes-
tive party. He was prssentnble, for in
Spain the dead are generally buried in
full evening dress
