Why She Rugged Herself.
New York Sun.

cit is easy for married couples to
quarrel and bring themselves to the point
of a divorce, - said well-known New
Yorker yesterday. "After l had been
married three months I came sadly home
one night to tell my wife that business
would keep me away from her for the next
twenty-four hours. She was girlish and by
way of reply, she gave herself little
hug, with little wriggle of her body
thrown in, and expressed her feelings in
an exclamation of unmistakable joy.
Deeply panied, said to her that had
never supposed she desired my absence
enough to gurgle with joy at the
mere proposal of it. Many a man
would have gone off angry or darkly
suspicious. Instead l questioned her.
why, gou goose, SAID she, when you
said you were going away one thing
popped into my head to the exclusion
of every thing else. That was, now he
going away and l can eat some raw
onions with salt and vinegar. That was
all. I have been dying for raw onions
ever since our wedding

I CoLD-BLooDED CRIME.
Gen. COntreras Boasts of Having Blown Up
Warship and Crew.

Gen. Contreras Boasts of Having Blown Up
Warship and Crew.
CHICAGO, Ill, July 10.-A special
dispatch from New York says: The
friends and adherents of Gen. HippolXte
in this city were greatly startled yester-
day when it became known that Col.
Stephen Preston. who has just arrived
from Port Prince, had declared that
Gen. Contreras was responsible for the
loss of the warship Madrid with thirty
six sailors. Col. Preston is the son of
the Haytien minister and one of Legi-
times staff officers
Yes, - said Col. Preston, ''there is
no doubt of Contreras having blown up
the Inflated Madrid with dynamite, and
the villain makes no secret of his enorm-
Gus crime, either. Why he had the au-,
dacity to present Legitime with a~bill for
$500 for blowing up the Madrid and
other little services performed during his
three months stay in this city. Gen.
Legitime promptly kicked Contreras out
of the service and warned him if he did
not leave the country within forty eight
hours he would have him shot. I have
the story from the villain s own lips.
He boosted publicly of having sent thes
Madrid and those on board of her tasslges
bottom of the ocean. -

greatest service ever rendered her in the
way of a much needed public improve
ment that has ever been done by pre-
vious council Weatherford making her
rapid strides into metropolitan greatness
with board and gravel sidewalks on her
principal business streets is out of the
question, and our city council realizes
this fact.
The Messrs. Meyer Bros, formerly of
Terrell, Tex, are in the city with a
view of opening up a large dry goods es-
Enlistment. They are well pleased with
the outlook, and will, if they can get q
suitable business house, locate here. The
people of this city heartily welcome these
gentlemen.
Judge John Il. Harcourt, R. E. Bell,
ID. R. Coleman and Capt W. j. Carson
returned home to-day from the Dallas
freight rate convention. They together
with large number of our leading BUSH
ness men, are of the opinion the conven-
ton was conducted in the interest of a
few of the largest Texas cities and poll
ticians who were making capital for
themselves, and that no good will result
from the convention in the way Ollie

Mere about circulation.

We didn't mean to cause a"ruction'
in the Tribune office whene we spoke
of our subscription list Nor
did we make the statement rs a
challenge to the Tribune. That is,
we don t expect our neighbOr to dis.
prove the statement that THE Sun s
county list is the largest because we
do not believe it can. The truth is
that the Tribune people have been
allowed. UnCOntradjctt d, to lie about
it's subscription list so long that they
had probably begun to believe that it
was rs good an advertising medium
as TIE Sun. 1t was because of these
lying representations and purely in
self defence that TIE Sun concludss
ed to inform advertisers of the fact
that it has larger list of regular
readers in this county than any
other paper. vt least its publisher
has good reason to believe that it
has and he is prepared to meet any
other paper, the Tribune included,
with a comparison, Our SUBSCRIPTION
list has grown quite rapidly of late,
but we could have made the above
assertion at any time within a year
past without any fear of successful
contradiction.
Abuse of this paper will never do,
Bro. Tribune. You must not get so
mad about it. There better way
to settle the question. If you think
our claim is not right you can prove
it by meeting us with verified

Again l will present you and you'
readers Il very complimentary AND
plain letter written by Cover

settlers on the so called indemnity
lands of the st. P. NJ. & M. Il. Il. Co.,
u good idea in reference then
claims. The governor has not only
honored ne with his letter Of'adVice,
but upon my request, sends me list
of lands decided to- the railroad com
pany in Pope, Stevens, Big Stone and
Swift counties! %or2as many towns
thereof as / have taken applications
in. 1t is evident that the governor
and the state laad cohmisstOnerslave
been hard at work since the letters
and petitions from the poor settlers,
have come to their light; and we find
that the railroad has signiticd to the
governor it's willingness to reconvey
to the state any of those lands for the
benefit of the settlers. Therefore. my
arguments In those land cases have
proven to be true, but. as stated by
the state land commissioner, govern.
or and commissioner of the general
land office. every person having made
any effort through. their agent or at
