Immigrants and Cashiers.

People who do business with newly ar
rived immigrants notice how quickly
they begin to become Americanized.
This tendency, in fact, causes no little
inconvenience to the cashiers of savings
banks, which have many immigrants
among their depositors. Some of the
larger institutions of this kind have
many hundreds of depositors, and it is
necessary to exercise the greatest care
in seeing that the signatures on orders
or checks for money are exactly the
same as the one which is kept on refer
ence.
A Hungarian, for instance, when he
opens his account, will sign his name
"Josef" In short while he finds trou-
BILE in withdrawing any money because
he has changed his name to Joseph. "
Heinrich, in the same way, becomes
Henry; Pierre, Peter; Dorathea, Dora,
and so on. The paying teller gets no
rest until he has the signature which is
kept on record Americanized. - New
York Tribune.

A Good Dog, and Weighs 100 Pounds.
A well known resident of Oakland has
large Newfoundland dog that is Won
der in his way-and he weighs about 100
pounds. The gentleman walked into
the business Office, accompanied by his
dog, and purchased an additional paper
to mail to relative in Illinois. The
paper was wrapped up, and after placing
a 2-cent stamp on the wrapper and ad-
dressing it the gentleman gave the paper
to the dog.
The owner got into his buggy and
drove to the postoffice, the dog running
alongside the horse. At the postoffice
the gentleman stopped, but the dog
didn't. He mounted the steps, trotted
down the corridor to the receiving boxes,
and, taking hold of one end of the paper
in his teeth, he inserted the other in the
opening into the paper box, and with his
nose pushed it through the hole. He had
no hesitancy about brushing his wet
coat up against the light check trousers
of several young men standing near the
box, and when one of them wanted to
help him to push the paper through the
opening he growled, as much as to say
he knew his business and could get along
without outside assistance.
After depositing the paper in the box
the dog bounded out again to his master,
who was waiting for him. "It took me
two weeks to train him to do that trick,
but it paid me for the trouble" said the
gentleman. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Oddities of the Egg Market.

A leading commission merchant said:
"The egg business is the most annoying
one in the world. During the cold weather
in the winter the hens quit laying, but
everybody wants to eat eggs. Conse-
quently they go so high that the grocers
can't keep pace with their customers. In
the spring, just as soon as eggs get plen-
tiful, people quit eating them, and we
have to sell them to packers, who pickle
them for consumption later on. These
eggs that are packed are not liked by
consumers, and so you see the egg dealer
never has the satisfaction of handling a
commodity that is in good demand and
good supply at the same time. Louis

message was received in this city from
Liberty Hill by Deputy Sheriff Brown
saving desperate fight between
officers and a gang of horse thieves

place, and that one of the robbers had
been killed.
The message also stated that it was

MOUNTAIN FAsTNEss.
Southwest Of Liberty Hill is an ex-
ceedingly rough and broken country,
with great cedar brakes stretching out
for miles, and no better place for a
rendezvous can be found
1t was reported last night that the
gang was led by the Mackemsons,
one of whom several years ago COM
mitted, several highway robberies in
this city which, for pure audacious-
ness, excelled anything in the career
of the late Mr.. Claude Duval, who was
wont to cause much excitement in
merry old England.
His brother is charged with the
theft of Judge Townes' buggy some
days ago, which he carried to Waco
and sold.
In Waco he, it is alleged, stole an
other buggy, which was brought to. this
city last Monday and which was cap,
tured by Sheriff White.
For these robberies he was sent to the
state prison but some weeks ago was
pardoned out on petition of the officers
of this county who were in Office at
the time of his trial and of the gentle.
men whom he robbed and because Of
his extreme youth at the time he com
mitted the act.'
1t is said he was shot and killed
last night.
Mackemscn, however, escaped and
officers have been on his trail ever
since.
He was in town Tuesday when the
officers had hot chase after him, but
failed to come up with him.
1t is said he is among those cap
tured in the fight last night.
Deputy Sheriff Brown and Coroner
Calhoun will go up in the morning
to hold an inquest on the body of the
man killed.

Arkansas Sunday Law.

To the Editor OF the statesman.
This is my first Sunday in Arkansas.
They allow drug store, livery stables,
bakeries and little street fruit stands
to be kept open also the bath houses

except the telegraph office, the street
railroad. post Office, etc. News stands,
ice cream parlors, soda fountains,
butcher shops and every other place
of traffic is closed. Blair of New
Hampshired should move to Arkansas.

day law. | did not know that any
part of this enlightened world was
subjected to such restrictions. 1t is
as oppressive as the Connecticut blue
laws of a century ago. l don't see

Harmle.. Aias ro WORK.

The most convenient and Immediately
effective is the ancient Japanese or Chi
nese headache cure called menthol, or
camphor of peppermint. 1t should be
rubbed upon the head and face all over
the region of the fifth pair of nerves,
avoiding the eyes. until there is an agree
able sensation of refreshing GOODNESS. If
properly used thus, and its fumes in
hailed, which it gives out when heated
by the hand, the relief and comfort is
immense. When there is general SEN
sation of exhaustion five drops of pure
chloroform and teaspoonful of red
lavender, mixed in glass of cold water
by druggist, is excellent; follow it as
soon as possible with some light refresh
ment.
When the system needs immediate
nourishment, drink glass of milk made
as hot as it can be swallowed, taking it
in long sips. Phosphates, in addition to
the hot milk. will feed the brain tissues,
and, taken persistently. will enable one
to do vast deal of work without ex-
haustion.
Egg yolks beaten to cream with pow
dered sugar, and the whites beaten to a
froth, and both shaken thoroughly with
cold milk, refresh and sustain during
night work.
The various crystallized fruits, espe-
cially cherries and raisins, and such
thoroughly cooked sweetmeats as jams
and jellies are good. Of course, none of
these sweets are to be eaten as they are
at the table, but rather taken as distrac-
tons to the tense nervous system.-Cor.

man in his profession in the world. He
can shave more men in a stipulated time
than any barber on earth, he says, and
is willing to make match for any

THE COURTS.
COURT OF APPEALS.

Ex-PARTE VS.. CHAs. Cox, from Camp
county. Opinion by White, P. j.
This is habeas corpus proceeding
OF Camp, who was arrested for viola
ton of the local option law in his pre-
cinct. 1t is contended that although
IN 1887 local option was regularll
a opted, new election in 1889 abol-
ished it because the second election
was ordered less than two years after
the first election, contrary to statute,
and second, the local option has
ceased, as in an election held for the
whole county in 1890, the measure
was defeated. Held: Even if the
election of 1880 was invalid, the local
option would prevail under the cleo
ton of 1887, and the election of 1890
in the whole county with an adverse
result did not repeal the local option
previously carried in the precinct. (1S
App. 49l; 81 App. 4l2).
Affirmed.
BOB BRowNLEE VS.. THE STATE from
Lampasas county. Opinion by
White, P.J.
The verdict and judgment in this
case are directly against the evidence
and the cause is reversed and re-
manded.
WILL COLE VS.. THE STATE from Brown
county. Opinion by White, P. J.
This is conviction for card play
ing in public house, VIZ: a school
house. The offense was committed
on Sunday and it is contended that
the house not being used for educa-
tional purposes on that day, was not
a public house. Held The house
being occupied during the week for
school purposes retained its char
acter on Sunday whether then
occupied or not. The evidence
as to the use OF it for religious wor-
ship becomes therefore immaterial.
The case being misdemeanor, the
charge of the court in the absence OF
ext options will not be revised. AT.

CHICAGO, April 1O.-The first move
towards partial settlement of tho
carpenters strike has been made and
half of the 6, 800 idle men will probably
be at work again before the end of the
week. Only half of the employers are
members of the Master Carpenters and
Contractors Association, which forms a
part of the Builders Exchange. The
other half of the master carpenters
have no organization and are conse-
quently independent of the Builders
Exchange.
A deputation of non-association- en-
ployers waited upon the Strike Commit
tee of the Carpenters Council and held a
long conference, lat which the employers
made definite offer to take back all
their old men, conceding eight hours a
day, 40 cents an hour and recognizing
the Brotherhood as in the past.
The strikers accepted the offer, as
they believe the return of half the IN on
on their own terms would force the as
ISOLATION employers to surrender. The
non-association masters will meet to-
morrow, and there is little doubt that
the same offer will be made unanimous
ly. The employers outside of the or
ganization have been willing to accede
to the mems demands from the start
and allowed the men to strike only out
of consideration for their colleagues in
the association.

has fourished down in Kentucky for
the past eight or ten years, has been de-
clared off. This family difficulty grew
out of a game of cards, and since it be-
gan some fifty members Of the Howard
and Turner families have died with their
boots on at the hands of the opposing
family. Meanwhile kentucky justice
hasn't seen fit to interfere with these
proceedings, and it is apparently only
because most of the members of the
Turner family have been killed off that
the Ratchet is now buried. 1t seems to
be in order to congratulate Kentucky
that these rival houses have shaken
hands across the blood chasm. 1t was
