Shaking of the Tariff

To the LIGHT.
Speaking of the Tariff
The Express says: "Will the sheep
men get together, or pursue the for
mer lotus-eating policy and allow
things to take their own course? 1t
is certainly not the intention of con-
gress to do injustice to any industry,
but God takes care OF those who take
care of themselves" Congress is all
right because it is republican, but
Texas has a free wool delegation in
congress and the Express is largely
resnonsible for it. Our wool men
have got to give the Express a wide
berth if they desire change in their
position before congress. The most
powerful argument of the free-wool
advocates is that Texas, the great
wool growing state, sends up solid
tree-wool delegation, whose voices and
votes are ever ready to demand tree
trade and free wool.

TO have visited the home Of the Widow

reports about Mrs. Buffers reputation
are that II is Of a rather shady
character, and further, 1t Is said that she
has been In the habit OF receiving male
company late at night, This explains
KirEhart's presence at her house SatuT.

gain admission Is explained by the
statement that Mrs, Butler had another
man In the house.
KirkhRrt finally left Mrs, Buffers
premises, Sunday afternoon he re.
appeared on the scene, accompanied
this time by two or three friends. 1t Is
said that there had been talk OF shooting
INDUCED in by both Kirkhart and Mira

certainly little opportunity for anything
OF this kind on this occasion, for as Kirk!
hart walked up to the house, the door
suddenly opened and Mrs. Butler fred

him in the left side making a very ugly
and dangerous wound. The wounded
