Joins In the Chorns.

Mineral Wells Herald: Austin
seems famous just now for its
profanity. A correspondent in
The STATESMAN says: "Some
are damming the city, some dam the
city government, some dam business,
some dam business men, some dam
the weather, some dam the rain, some
dam this and some dam that" But
said correspondent suggests that it
would be more "pious idea" to dam
the Colorado river. Now, if damming
the river at that point will enhance
the piety of Austin, we, for one, will
lay aside our religious scruples and
join in the chorus, for the Lords sake
dam the Colorado river.

A Change for the Better.

Heretofore passengers who did not
care to take the Pullman Sleeper on
"Train 20" of the Vandalia and Penn
sylvania route, but occupied the
coaches on that train, were required
TO change cars at the rather unsea-
sonable hour of 2 a. m. at Pittsburg.
A new order of things has just been
put into effect by this popular line
which does away with this annoyance.
Hereafter on this train, which is SO
well known as "The Pennsylvania
Special" leaving st. Louis, via Van
da a Line at $40 A. NJ. daily, and arriy-
ing in New York at P. NJ. next day
through first and second class coaches
will be run between st. Louis and Co
lumbus, and Colombus and New York,
with out change, the change at Co
lumqus being made at supper time.
Through Vestibuled Pullman Sleeper
on thistrain, st. Louis to Philadel-
phia andNew York, without change.

The Tax Imitation Explained.

Burdette IN Brooklyn EagIe
"a strange and unaccountable story
that comes from Texas" is the title Of
a newspaper letter telling about rose
bush near Fort Worth, that when cut
drips human blood pronounced to be
real and truly human blood by the
best chemists that ever tended bar in
Texas. We have read the letter and
the affidavits of the apothecaries, but
we can't see anything strange or I'M
accountable in it, even to the story of
the skeletons found under the rose
bush. All is explained when it is re-
membered that under an old law of
1852 all the liars in Texas were ban
ished to Fort Worth.

WINNIPEG, Man. Dec. ia citizen
has just arrived from the Pacific coast

but the two coaches following swung

almost perpendicular and the cars would
have tumbled several hundred feet into
the river had it not beer that the coupling
twisted around and held the tremendous
weight. There were the two cars. one

glne and the balance of the train pre-
vented the suspended cars drawing the
