Going a little Too Ear.

There was a case in the paper the other
day in which it appeared that lady's
maid named Vincent had been dismissed
for refusing to lace her mistress boots.
Now, it seems to my unsophistocated
mind that this valeting, whether male or
female, and whether the valet be prison
warder or not, is a very poor business on
both sides, and quite as degrading to the
valeted as to the valet. 1 don't think that
should like TO be stripped or dressed by
another person. 1 have never known
which to pity more accurately, Morgan
setting up Maj, Pendennis or the major
being set up by Morgan. 1 remember
once, at little inn in the north of Italy,
I asked for a cigar, and the obliging
waiter brought it to me lit. thought
this was going too far at the time. But,
after all, it was only the principle of val
citing carried TO its logical conclusion

Utilizing Ocean Wave Force.

An experiment is being made on the
California coast to test the utility of ocean
wave force. At an opening in some cliffs
great fans are suspended, and their move
ment at the ebb and flow of the waves is
so geared as TO work immense pumps,
which are designed to fill large reservoirs
on elevations, these being used to supply
water power to manufactures OF various

Concerning Patent Medicines"
From 1861 up to 1888 the manufacture
ers of specifics had to get out patents and
pay into the treasury per cent. of their
receipts. AS there were 5000 articles on
the list, the government derived large
revenue from this source. The amount
for the twenty-five years reached $50,
000,0 900. In 1888 the tax was abolished.

whom it comes should read it and
govern themselves accordingly:

ton of this association.
This association has distributed
hundreds of thousands of advertising

brought into Southwest Texas a class
OF investors and farmers that have
had means to buy or open up a farm,
and have sufficient capital to carry
them year.
1t is necessary for your county to
send full delegation of earnest men,
who will elect from your county a
member of this association, an ener-
getic, earnest man who will take az
active interest in cooperating with
this association in bringing immi.
grants to your county; as such plans
will be proposed at the next meeting.
The annual election of executive
COMMITTEE and officers will occur.
Please have this printed in your
county newspaper.

County Feuds--More Coming.

TOPEKA, Kansas, January To-
Brigadier-General Myers, who COM
manded the regiment ordered to the
scene of war in Gray county, arrived
in this city to report to the governor.
Myers says very serious state. of af-
fairs exists in the county and he fears
more trouble. He arrived at Cimar-
rom Sunday morning. The citizens
were greatly relieved upon the ar
rival of the troops and had been I'M
der arms up to that time, fearful lest
another attack should be made,
and Sunday meeting of
citizens of the city was
held and resolutions concerning
the affair were adopted, to have the
county placed under martial law.
After the adjournment of this meet
ing, which was attended by a great
many people, Gen. Myers proceeded
by carriage to Ingalls,, about seven
miles further west, and a similar
meeting was held there, with similar
results. Every prominent citizen,
and in fact everybody in the county,
faction or the other, and the most bit
ter feelings prevailed from one end of
the county to the other. He found the
town of Ingalls, in arms and prepared
for war, but directed then at once to
lay aside their weapons. He thinks
without the presence Of the militia
the factions would have another
battle, as there is such intense
feeling of hatred and revenge. All
business is suspended in both towns
All trains passing through are close
ly watched by armed men, who fear
a surprise, although such a thing is
highly improbable. Both towns have
ordered a large supply of ammuni-
ton. Prisoners captured at Cimar-
ron were committed to Dodge City Jail,
but are at present in charge of Sheriff
at Ingalls,, and enjoying
the freedom of the city, the sheriff be-
ing all ingalls, partisan. Ed. Brooks,
one of the Ingalls, men, who was shot
through the body, is dying, this will
increase the number of deaths to
three.

A Great Artist Coming.

1t is announced that Miss Emma
Juch, the famous prima donna, sup
ported by her own splendid organiza-
ton, will give one grand operate per-
Torrance in this city during the sea-
son. Miss Juch holds foremost place
in the estimation of our public, and
| her friends are all those who admire
! true musical art combined with youth,
! beauty and artistic enthusiasm. The
company embraces the following:
Miss Adele Aus der Ohe, the cele-
! brated pianiste; Miss Rosa Linde, a
very fine contralto; William LAWN, a
young American tenor, who has re-
Gently come to this country after stu.
dying with Shakespeare in London;
Joseph Lynde, basso, an English bari
tone of large experience and magnifi-
cent voice, whose successes with Carl
Rosa and in Italian opera have
brought him fame and first position;
and finally Victor Herbert, the ia
nous solo cello player, the solost of
that instrument in the Thomas or
chestra and assistant conductor of the
Anton Seidl concerts. Mr.. Herbert is
also the musical director of the Juch
company. In addition to most in ter
esting programme of classic, ballad
and miscellaneous selections in which
Miss Juch and entire company assist,
the second act Garden Scene) of
GOunod's immortal opera Faust"
will be given in its entirety with appro-
pirate costumes, scenery and effects.
In this Miss Juch will appear in her
beautiful and famous impersonation of
Marguerite in which role she has OBJ
tanned an international reputation,
having sung it first in Her Majesty's
opera, in London, and afterwards
with the National opera under Theo-
dOre Thomas in America.
The Emma Juch concerts have so
far this season proved the greatest
musical event in the cities where
they have been given. In fact no
concerts have been more successful
since those of little Joseph Hoffman.
Miss Juch passed the summer in
Paris and returned with a number of
most charming concert gowns after
the latest Partisan fads. One or two
of these are described by one who has
recently seen them as being the fore
runners in America OF the directoire
rage, which is at present inundating
Paris, and rapidly OverfiOwlng all
fashion centers. Miss Juch and her
company will undoubtedly meet with
a distinguished and warm recep ton
in this city.

Dealings of the White Caps.

HUNTINGTON, Ind, January To-
The White Caps at Andrews, this
county, are making good the warn
ings sent to certain parties of that
place. Sunday night VIM. Dowall,
who failed to provide for his family,
was surprised by twenty masked
men, when in a saloon. He was
dragged out, a rope thrown over his
neck, and swung up to the nearest
telegraph pole. After hanging a
short time he was lowered, when he
managed to slip the moose, and ran
yelling with all his remaining
strength. He was recaptured, but
the citizens attracted by his cries,
went to his rescue. The White Caps
fled without being recognized. Much
excitement is created by the affair,
and those who have received letters
are living in a state of dread.
