PAWNEEi BILL.

The Leader of the Boomers Finds Him.
self in a Close Place.
WICHITA, Kan, February 2.-Pawnee
Bill is on the line organizing his intended
invasion. He stated in message yester-
day that he had 800 men in his
party and that others were
coming from all directions. John P.
Scare, of Purcell, 1. T., says there
are 800 men ready, to go, and Parker, from
Texas, says he has his company in readi-
ness. The news of the passage by the
house of the Oklahoma bill may change
the plans. Harry Hill oklahoma Hill
received telegram from Wichita people
at Washington last evening urging him
by all means to stop the invasion,
that it would in the end prove hardship
to the boomers and do no good for the
agitators of the bill. Hill, who is the
originator of the scheme, Immediately
teIegraphed Pawnee Bill to desist and dis
suade the boomers from the invasion.
Soon afterwards Hill received the follow
ing telegram:
clown full of boomers. Have received
news of the passage of the bill. For
heavens sake come down at once. The
settlers are wild, and I can do nothing
with Them"
Later on still. more urgent telephone
message came calling upon him to come
Immediately. Hill and party of friends
left and ordered fresh horses along the
road. While he does not know what may
be the trouble, he fears the boomers have
charged Pawnee Bill with insincerity, and
were creating trouble.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
Closing Exercises of The Semi
Annual Examinations.

The literary and musical soirees of st
Mary's have become pleasing and dis
tinctve feature of Austin's society. The
sjestic stone structure, which, like a dia-
dem, crowns the beautiful hill, whereon
is situated this famous seat of learning, is
an acknowledged ornament to the city,
and no less feature in social and literary
life are these delightful reunions.
The building and its superb grounds
have been frequently described, and are
as familiar as they are dear to our people.
Many of US, too, have enjoyed the dis
tinguished privilege of being present at
the examinations and terminal exercises.
On this occasion, in response to the
kind invitation of the Sister Superior, we
repaired to the academy at 2 p. M,
Friday last, and were ushered into the
spacious recitation hall. There was
presented sight to make glad the dullest
heart. Some two hundred lit seemed to
us) pupils of the gentler sex, ranging in
age and size from the diminutiye" minim,"
brave in snowy pinsfores, to the tender
young bud of womanhood, which, like its
prototype, bushes without crime. These
were arranged in order of size from front
to rear at their desks, and in order hea-
ven's first law reigned supreme. On a
raised dsis in the center of the hall sat the
two cultivated young addresses of "Our
Blessed Lady's Journal" Misses johnson
and Maupin, a periodical written by the
fair young pupils, and which has secured
a warm place in the affections of the
friends and patrons of the school. At
the further end of the hall, on raised
platform-the post of honor-Sat the
Reverend Father p. Lauth, the parish
priest and general supervisor of the school
that holy man, at sight of whom
"up rose matron and maidens, hailing
his slow approach with words of affection
ate welcome"
On one side of the pastor sat his brother
and assistant, Rev. NJ. Lauth, and on each
side of these were ranged the kindly Sis
teIs and score or 80 of invited guests.
Speaking of flowers, the Sisters have

they may be employed as provided in
section of this act; provided, that
the penitentiary board may at any time,
if they deem advisable, purchase pen
itentiary farm or farms upon which
all conviets not self-supporting may
be worked by the state"
The policy, as above declared, has met,
1 am sure, with the hearty approval of
Governors Ireland and Ross, and your
board, as well as the entire penitentiary
management, which is evidenced by the
work of the last four years, as shown =
exhibit of this report. Every effort pos
sible has been made to carry out this
policy so plainly commended by the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth legislatures.
The prisons are now nearly or quite
filled to their capacity, which is not sufi
cient to furnish room for one-half the con-
victs, and not fitted to furnish remunera-
tive employment for near one-half; and be-
We can go further in pursuance of the
policy indicated, it will devolve upon the
legislature to make necessary and liberal
appropriations to enable your board to
provide suitable prisons and suitable
farms as in said law contemplated. The
Nineteenth legislature certainly meant in
such declaration that future Legislatures
must provide the funds necessary to carry
| out this policy. The necessity that existed
four years ago is intensified by the large
and continued increase since that time

Catholic Centennial Year.

This is the centennial year of the estab-
in the United States. One hundred years
ago the Catholic population numbered
but 1850. At present there are thirteen
archdioceses in the United States, with
sixty suffragansees, seven vicariates and
one prefecture apostolic. These are ruled
by thirteen archbishops, seventythree
bishops and two administrators. There
are six mitred abbots in the country, and
the entire Catholic population is placed
at 8,157676.

A Satisfactory Examination.

The second quarter or semi-annual ex-
animation in the public schools closed
yesterday. The result was very gratifying
to teachers, and eminently satisfactory to
the superintendent and board. Austin
has superb system of schools, under an
able management, and visit to them by
legislators will afford much pleasure and
possibly prove of benefit. Doctor Mayo
who has been in the city some days and
who is authority on such matters, visited
AAd examined the schools and he pro-
nounoes them equal to any in all the land.
That they are first-class there is no gain
saying, and the people of Austin are
justly proud of them.

The Best on Wheels.

The best wagon on wheels is the Mil
burn. No doubt about it. 1t is the uni
yersal verdict of all. The best of mate
rial and the best of workmanship make
them so. They are made to wear and
they do. They are strong and easy run
ming, and never fail to give entire salts
faction. The same can be said of the
Milburn buggies, carriages and other
spring work. They have no superior in
the world, and no factory equals them for
the price. Handsome and stylish, strong
and durable, they are the worlds favorites.
All work is fully guaranteed. Dick Gun
ningham manages the Milburn business
in this city, and, like the vehicles he sells,
he is favorite with everybody who has
dealings with him.

WEST END RECEPTION.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. K. Dunbar En-
terrain Their Friends.

GO1 Ud4h 1AO1I EI1OuSASs
PERCEPTION Friday evening, February 1,
from until 8 o'clock" So read the
cards of invitation issued by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. K. Dunbar and which made the first
day of the second month of the year of 1889
one for the society of Austin to hold in
pleasant remembrance for many days to
come. There had been sent out large
number of cards, and, judging from the
constantly flowing stream of guests in and
out and the continually thronged condi-
ton of the parlors during the reception
hours, there could have been very few who
did not respond in person to the invita-
ton.
The guests as they arrived were ushered
into the spacious parlors, and were
greeted with picture more like fairy land
than anything else. Waiting to receive
the callers were the handsome, genial host
and lovely hostess, ably assisted in their
entertainment by the following ladies:
Mrs. W. H. Tobin, Mrs. j. M. Boroughe,
Mrs. j. R. johnson, Mrs. W. H. Pope, Mrs.
j. j. Tobin, Mrs. A. II. Graham, Miss
Nellie McCo!lum, Miss Adele Steiner,
Miss Florence Ross, Miss Ellen Boroughs.
At such hands the visitors could receive
only a royal welcome and have royal en-
tertainment. The ladies we're receiving
in parloIs brilliantly illuminated, rich IN
decoration and redolent with the perfume
of flowers, while music from an invisible
orchestra added to the celestial effect
Passing from the reception rooms the
guests we're ushered into the apartment
set apart for refreshments. This was a
place of Oriental luxury in every respect
The walls and ceilings were entirely of
evergreens, relieved by paintings, panels,
Japanese lanterns, etc. The tables were
perfection itself in the matter of arrange
ment, scenic effect, and the hospitality
partaken therefrom of collateral excel
lence.
Nor must be forgotten the enchanted
bower and Jacobs we'll, where st. Jacob
presided in grand state and added his
cheering words and assistance to the
pleasure of the occasion. 1t only remains
to voice in The STATESMAN the general
regret expressed on all sides that Austin
is so soon to lose the charming society of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunbar.

INCREASE OF coNvIcTs.
The State Penitentiaries About
Filled to Their Capacity,

Superintendent Goree, speaking of the
increase in the prison population, says:
Every two years since 1873, in my bien-
NAL reports, have called attention to the
rapid increase of our prison population,
and have urged that our lawmakers should
make proper provision for them; that
some definite policy should be declared
and be followed out.
The latest legislative declaration of a
policy is contained in Chapter XOV, Sec.
i, General Laws Nineteenth legislature,
which reads as follows:
at shall be the duty of the penitentiary
board to confne all convicts within the
walls of the penitentiary as soon as suita-
BILE prisons can be provided for their con-
inement and employment in such manner
that they will be self-supporting; and
until adequate provision is made for such
confinement and employment of convicts,

Serious Loss,

Thursday night Mr.. Omar Cooper, some
Where between the opera house and the
Orlskill, lost his pocketbook containing
$40 in currency. The pocketbook was a
large one, and, after buying ticket at the
box Office, Mr.. Cooper put the pocketbook
into his hip pocket and he thinks it
worked out. The probabilities are,
however, that sleek footpad relieved Mr..
Cooper of his wealth. Toting wealth
around in hip pocket in city is not the
safest thing to do in this world.

The Austin Globe.

The Austin Globe, weekly paper pub

and bears evidence of more than ordinary
newspaper ability. 1t is carefully edited,
and well printed, and is eminently deserv-
ing of liberal patronage. It's proprietor
is thorough gentleman and competent
business man, and The STATESMAN sin
cerely trusts his venture in this city will

est and the interest of the city.
