THE LULING-AYREs CONTEST.

The contest court in the Luling- Ayres
matter met yesterday morning at IL
O'Clock and the demurrer of the contestee
overruled in the main most of the allega-
tions referred to in the demurrer, if true,
being sufficient to defeat Ayres, if estab-
lished to be true.
The next thing on the program was to
count the ballots. This is a job as no one
will deny. In fact solid job for some
days. Judge Buckner handled the ballots
calling out what kind of ballot and who is
voted for for clerk of the district court.
Dave Dale occupies the chair to the left OF
the Judge with one of the associate Judges
r. Hatfield neighber. On the right is
John +. Hume with o. ID. Kirk for COM
pany The Judge calls out the species of
ticket and vote and the associates keep
tally. He is watched closely by the attor-
news and as the day goes by
/ honest Davis face insinuates that he is
blowing corn sure enough.
The court closed last evening at 6 p. m,
and the vote of the Fourth ward had been
counted. The vote for W. w. Ayres as
printed on the Democrat tickets was
known also the vote for NJ. W. Aryes and
tHc Notes IoI elhplD pla4h ASiOo anu

some votes had been counted for NJ. w.
AyreS, appearing on the ballots as simply
'Ayres" and "Aryes" and even IN. w.

is estimated that it will take several days
to count the ballots and get the correct in

jim THE PENNiAN.


Such powerful play as Jim, the Pen
man." requires strong cast; because, in
the hands of incompetent players, the
characterization and the dialogue would
suffer. and without the business and by
play that an intelligent actor uses, the i'm
projections of the author would stand out
boldly. thus endangering his work. The
late Sir Charles Young admitted uncOn-
sciousfy, or with full knowledge, that it
depended largely on the players to make
Jim. the Penman." successful play He
furnished an interesting and ingenious
plot. sentiment, humor and strong dia-
logue, hut his characters were roughly
sketched and il remained with the actors
and actresses who appeared in the cast TO
perfect the work. 1t is pretty certain that
there is no manager in this country
who could have produced this
great play quite as effectively as Mr.. A. NJ
Palmer. His judgment is unerring. and he
knows how to cast a play as no other man
aCer can For this reason the production
of the lannon's play was memorable. The
company appearing in the drama this
season was personally selected by Mr.
Palmer for this. its tiuH tour IL i not

DIR NImRoD FRIEND.

There is something wrong with the man
who don't enjoy field sports, hunting, fish
ing and the like. Our genial and whole
souled friend, j. Frank Sherman, made
one of a party who put in a couple of
weeks on hunt in the Indian Territory.
They tagged deer, turkey, quail, chicken.
ETC., in numbers beyond their expectation,
and, the weather being perfect, had alto
gether delightful time, coming home
with splendid appetites and with blood
bounding through their veins in most
healthfui way. But Frank couldn't sleep
well until he had sent the editor of the
EAGLE haunch of venison, fat, prime and
juicy, for which he will accept our thanks.

not 6t equivalent for human flesh; and We
imagine sweet little idyls of youths and

tropical forest--loving, innocent and free.
But here in our refined and civilized country
We sell our daughters to the highest bidders.
all the same as in the open eastern market.
We exchange their fair young flesh for the
local equivalent of COWS and blankets. We
suppress their natural repugnance by argu-
ments quite as conclusive and irresistible as
the savsge's club; and with these same argu-
ments We knock on the head all the lovers
and all the protectors who would, if they
could, save the gisl from such fate.
Our managing mothers are women without
compassion, conscience or even true knowl-
edge of human nature. Their god is gold
their Apollyon whom they must overcome is
