DECATUR, TEX, Feb. 25.-That ener-
getic young gentleman, Jim R La1eway,
was brought in from Greenwood this morn
ing by Deputy sheriff Tom Moore and he
is again to be seen at the handsome stone
residence of the sheriff and his six regu-
lar boarders just north of the courthouse.
Jim is the gentleman that was acquitted
in our district court last week of a charge
OF theft and was released just before the
sheriff got telegram from Sheriff Rich
ardson of Tarrant county to hold him
Some parties bufglarized the store of
Brownfeld s. Dnlehay at Greenwood
Saturday night, and Deputy Moore
arrested Lakeway Sunday morning about
four miles east of that place afoot with
a pistol on his person which was left at
the store the night before, a new hat and
several other things which he acknow1-
edged TO have gotten out of the store
Saturday night, aud also SIG. 35 in
money. When the officer asked him
about 1t, he said that this time the case is
q clear one, no I" 'spicion - this time.
He acknowledges, also, now, that he
stole the money and overcoat from
Moore and Borders the night
-
He saws there were three other parties
with him when the store was entered,
one his brother about twenty-five years
old, and the other two Fort Wor horse
traders. he says they were TO meet him
last night with horse for him to ride, and
the three were going TO Fort Worth He
is only about sixteen or seventeen years
old, and from the present prospects he

HE is SHOCKED.
An EngIishman Does Not Know Why Lovers
T,rr noxv,, +bo Cos

An Englishman Does Not Know Why Lovers
Turn Down the Gas.
An Englishman talking with a COM
panion about the freedom enjoyed by
American girls and the seeming utter
lack of parental restraint, SAID:
80 used TO know the pretty daughter
of retired sea captain. and she and a
young lady who was stopping with her
used TO entertain me and a friend of mine
We always foIloWsl the same programme
When my friend and | called, we and
the young ladies formed quar-
tette in the front room, a veritable
museum Of South sea and Asiatic curios
collected by the captain. There we sat
aud talked or heard the young women
sing. Presently the girl my friend had
chosen went into the back room, the
doors being wide open, and upon one ex-
cuse or another, or no excuse at all
called him in there, leaving Miss May
and me together in the front parlor.
An attempt TO render this less no.
Jiceable was made by occasional ques-
lions or remarks passed from one girl to
the other. Then - in half an hour, one
of the young women arose, and with her
face as imperturbable as an actress could
couple apart. After that if either of the
young women had occasion, as was fire.
quently the case, TO go into the room oc-
cupied by her companion and the other
young man she never failed TO knock and
then wait moment before she slid the
doors apart.
''You may wen ask why was this eau
ton necessary? What is the nature of
the affairs of young women and their
callers that causes a demand for such
privacy? l do not exaggerate when
say that have had very similar expert
eDces in 4 great number of houses. and
have in mind Il score Of anecdotes by my
friends including the same circumstances
and relating to every section of the land.
IF there is an explanation for this
feature of life in this-vast array of mis-
managed hOuseholds-it is that the
uSageS of the young people are not such
as court observation. In most cases,
that which shrinks from scrutiny or takes
advantage of its absence, is merely the
being seated close together or with an
arm of one about the waist of another,
an indulgence in occasional caresses or
the enjoyment of a languid communion
of tender feelings in dreamy silence and
with head on a lovers shoulder and
A''iitS IAi1t are uot MATES cIoSely cldSpeu.
Then it is-when the stage of dreamy
silence is at hand-that the more thought
less maidens in the country arise and
turn down the light-theme of so many
misplaced minstrel jests and comic para
graphs. This performance by no means
warrants hasty conclusions on the critic IS
part. The singular custom OF darkening
the room Is fashion, and, where it OBJ
tains, the Young men demand the observ-
ance of it as a right and a mark of
respect, if not of affection. In the larger
cities one seldom hears of the practice,
but what follows there is much the same
as that which comes after The rooms are
darkened in the rural districts-the
languid ,drowsy surrender to happiness. -

The week opens up with cloudy sky
and with indications of a rising tempera-
ture and rain. Business in all lines has
been good, and prices are firm at former
quotations.
Country produce and feed stuffs are
active and in good demand, with fair
supply on hand.
the grain market is steady, but re-
ceipts are light.
Bradstreet Is in general review of the
conditions Of trade and the markets says
that dry goods for spring and summer are
in fairly active jobbing distribution at
New York and Boston. Agents note only
moderate demand, with a fair move
ment reported on previous orders, and
export c0ttons notably active Print
cloths are quoted l-I6c lower on slight
accumulation of stock, but maniac
turers are slow to sell. Cutting
of prices by jobbers at New York
continues to be noted. Boston jobbers
are not as much interested in this direc-
ton as those of New York. Wholesale
clothiers report trade active, but the
aggregate demand is limited by small
individual orders. Price concessions are
being made to move denominations.
Foreign goods are fairly active, with
silks moving in largest relative volume.
Light stocks of raw wool and strong for
eign advices keep values firm The
actual demand is light. Raw cotton is
18c higher on the statistical position,

What On Earth

Is the reason people will not, can not, or
do not see any difference in cheap nos
trums put up by Cheap John houses or
irresponsible parties at enormous profits,
rather than take a medicine of world
wide reputation and one that is giving
universal satisfaction at equal price !?
No medicine in the world is giving such
unparalleled satisfaction for purifying
the blood as BEGGS' BLOOD PURI-
FER & BLOOD MAKER, and every
bottle that does not do its work will
cost you nothing.
