The tableau of "Hiawatha's Woo
ing" was perfect. Minnehaha seemed
to be veritable Indian maid.
"Preciosa before the Archbishops"
made pretty picture.
The single recitation of Master Ed
gar ToWnes was well rendered.
Priscilla, the Puritan maid, was to
be seen listening to the pleading of
John Alden, while Evangeline was
found among the reapers.
"Paul Reyere's Ride" by Nan Tur-
ner, was so startling, so vivid, that the
audience listened with bated breath,
fearful lest sound or a gesture should
escape them.
And last but not least came the tab
leau of "The Burning at the Stake"
which showed the maidens bound, with
faggots ready for lighting.
1t is to be hoped by the writer that,
at all exercises anywhere given by the
pupils of the city schools, the parents
and friends will come; and let it be
said, as on Longfellow's birthday in
North Austin: Gwen standing room
was above par"

THE RIVER DAM.
The Services Of an Able Engineer Secured at
Last.

The Services OF an Able Engineer Secured at
Last.
Mr.. J. T. Tanning, the engineer first
engaged to report upon the dam was
forced to cancel his engagement on
account of the directors OF the North
ern Pacific railroad, of which he is
consulting engineer, having deter
mined to make extensive improve
ments and to extend The road; and
further because of the time he is com
PEELED to devote to the development OF
large water power at the Great Falls
on the Missouri river and at Spokane
Falls, Washington. He was requested
by wire to recommend some one in his
stead but no reply was received fur
ther than message from his general
Office stating the message had been for
warded west to him. 1t is thought he
had gone beyond the reach of the tele-
graph before the forwarded message
reached its destination.
When it was believed nothing more
could be expected from Mr.. banning
messages were sent to New York, Low
ell, Bridgeport and Boston, to secure
an engineer and resulted in the en-
gagement of Mr.. Joseph P. Frizell o.
Boston, who is recommended as a
gentleman Of fine ility and high
authority on the Development Of water
power.
1t was the intention Of the city au-
thorities from the very outset to Sc
cure the best talent to be had to make
full and comprehensive report of the
dam project and it is safe to say that
this course has been persistently pur-
sued and fully and successfully carried
out, and in few weeks our citizens
will have the whole subject carefully
and correctly placed before them for
final action.

SCHEMING.
THE WHEEL AND ALLIANCE SEEK
ING TO COMBINE THEIR
FORCES.
Rumors that Political Dicker is on III
Tapis and the Combine Win Put
State Ticket in the Field.

The wheel" is an order somewhat
like the Alliance, and in some of the
States it is very strong and has
larger membership than the Alliance.
Delegates or officers from the Ar
kansas Wheel have been in Dallas
trying TO bring about combine with
the Alliance, and as noted elsewhere
the proposition will be acted on by the
SUBORDINATE ALLIANCE LODGES
at their regular April meeting.
For some days and even for several
weeks it has been bruited about that
the Alliance was seeking to make
combination with the various labor
organizations and charters filed in the
office of Secretary of State during the
past month, indicate this is true.
This movement of the Alliance and
the Wheel and other orders has been
made the ground for report that
they are seeking co combine for
POLITICAL PURPOSES,
and if everything pans out full
tledged state ticket will be put in the
field for state and county offices.
This rumor is given force, so it is
alleged, from the fact that the ALI
ance cannot hope to give its support
to any of the gentlemen now in the
field for governor for very naturally
the alliances in Mr.. Thockmorton's
neck of the woods are for Thockmor-
ton first, last and all the time, and
over in Mr.. Hogg's range they are
very naturally inclined to favor him.
This being true it is asserted by
well posted gentlemen that there can
be no combined effort ON the part of
farmers and labor orders to support
either of the gentlemen named.
1t therefore behooves the Alliance
to makesthe most powerful combina
lions possible and then put candi'
dates in the field of their own choice,
and this rumor has it they are striv-
ing to accomplish.
OF the prominent names mentioned
for Governor, that of DR.. Fields and
A. j. Rose of Salado, master of the
State Grange, are mentioned, while
| w. II. Harris of Dallas county, is
lown for lieutenant governor.
Z. G. Steele of Freestone county, it
is said, will make very acceptable
candidate for comptroller.
Names for the other positions have
not been mentioned, but they will be
forthcoming, no doubt, as the "com'
bine" will have an abundance of most
excellent material.
In short, if reports are correct the
Alliance, the Grange, the Patrons OF
Husbandry, the Knights OF Labor
and other orders with the Wheel will
roll along, crushing out the opposi
ton and the government will live and
prosperity prevail as never before,
At least rumor has it that way,

Marble Falls.

MARBLE FALLS, Tex, Feb. 2S.-The Texas
Mining and Improvement company has
just purchased the property formerly owned
by the Alliance at Marble Falls, which in
cludes the great water power, and imme-
date steps will be taken to utilize the
same. The Alliance, however, will have a
plant free of encumbrance on which TO
build their factory.
Much rejoicing was had here over this ar
rangement, and the Falls will move steadily
on her road to what she first claimed would
be her destiny, viz =: The future great man.

A Short Session Possible.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t is understood that the Repub-
lican leaders still persist in their de-
termination to make the present SEES
sion not only active and efficient but
short. An attempt will be made to
have the closing day come about the
middle of June. This is much earlier
than the average. The first session
of the Fiftieth congress lasted until
October 20, but this was the longest
session ever held by our national leg
islature. The preceding congress,
which opened in December, 1885, in
the earliest year of President Uleve-
lands administration, closed its first
session on August of the next year.
Two years before that time the Forty
eighth congress packed up its traps
and went home on July 7. In each
of the three congresses named the
house was presided over by John G.
Carlisle. Four times only since the
WARM 1872, 1874, 1878 and 1850
did the long session come to an end in
June. But in all of these instances,
except that of 1874, at which time
james g. Blaine was in the speaker
ship, the stated sessions were preceded
by called sessions, which, in some
slight degree at least lightoned the
work OF he regular session.
The Republicans, if they cling to
their purpose, will probably have little
difficulty in winding up the business
of the session before the closing day
of June. Work it is likely will Legin
next week with the rules adopted and
in force, and nothing left to interrupt
the serious, practical labor of legisla-
ton. The chances are that the tariff
revision bill will be presented to the
house before the middle OF March and
sent to the president some time in
April or the early part of May. No
body imagines now that anything will
be done on the silver or bank currency
perpetuation questions, however much
sensible action may be needed in the
latter matter. Hitherto the great
stumbling block in the way both of
needed legislation and of an early adj
journment has been the appropriation
bills.
Mr.. Randall who was head OF the
Appropriations committee in the
recent Democratic congresses, design
eddy delayed the presentation of APP
preparation bills and used them to
head off the free trade schemes of the
dominant section of his party and for
other tactical purposes. No such
dilatory or obstructive devices will be
or need be resorted to this year. The
intention of the dominant party seems
to be to have the last of the appropri-
alton bills before the house by the
middle OF March, but if this should be
accomplished the urgent business
befo congress can all be attended to
early enough to permit an ADJOURN
ment to take place before the month
of July Begin.
