Broke His Leg.

A young lad of about thirteen
years broke his leg and miraculously
escaped breaking his neck this morn
ing, at the corner Houston and
Acequia streets.
1t appears that he had been hang
ing behind farm wagon, and was
playing with the wheel when his
foot caught between the spokes and
broke his leg below the knee. A
lady who keeps a boarding house
near by, shouted to the driver, who
succeeded in stopping his team al
most instantly. The boy was taken
from the wheel, but did not tell his
name, only crying to be taken home.
AS he refused to go to the drug store
he was taken to his home on Laredo
street. Who the little fellow is, NJ
one was able to tell.

Now that the heat of the summer
sun is too warm for comfort, ladies
should remember that Wolfson has
Just received an elegant assortment of

THE original package bill, passed
by the senate, accepted by the house
and signed by the president, is law.
1t makes an exception of all kinds
of intoxicating liquors and removes
them beyond the pale of the interstate
commerce law. By the passage of
this act congress notifies the several
states and territories TO act their
supreme pleasure in the case. and
deal with the questions of license,
local option, free whiskey or prohibit
ton just as they deem best: that
congress will not interfere, nor per-
NIT the supreme court to interfere
with the enactments of state legis-
lations in this matter. This will
give new impetus to prohibition
movements all along the line, and
give greater force and effect to those
now in operation.

Cleveland Says the Republicans
Missed Their Guess,

NEW YORK, November ITO an AS.
sociatcd reporter who asked tor an ex.
preston of his opinions on the result
of Tuesdays elections, ex-PresideD'
Clcyelund said:
Il am delighted. I challenge the
right of any man in the country to re.
joicc more heartily than | over the re.
suit of Tuesday. My qualification i.
that of an American, proud OF his fel.
low.countrymen. who, though led a
way for a time by party %prejudices and
blind confidence in cunning and selfish
leaders, could not be deluded 10 their
ruin.
"They have demonstrated that in
dealing with them ii is not safe 10 cal
culate that they are stupid:or careless
of the welfare of their country; the
necessity of a tariff reform, with III
consequent reduction in the cost o,
living. and the duty Of the Demo
cratic party to advocate it, has beer
fully demonstrated by the action O.
the people on Tuesday. Their decis
ion has been deliberately made, unt
1t is all the more significant because
they have voted upon their reason an(
Judgment, and because they have
proved that corruption is powcrless AZ
against their convictions.
"Of course there Ia nothing for the Dem
ocratic party to do but to push on the bat
tie at all times and in all places on the linel
which they have laid downfall is. to in
sist upon a wise adjustment of tariff taxa
ton to the reasonable needs of the govern
inert as opposed to the plan which enrich
es a favored class at the expense of thu
measures of the people, Until the victory
is won the question %ortaritf reform will no
be settled nor the pledges of the Democrat
ic party to the people redeemed.
"Our party has made an honest and ear
nest fight. 1t has planted itself upon disin'
tcrested and unselfsh devotion to the inter
est OF the people, Its absolute unity ant
harmony upon the question of tariff reform
shows 1t quick recognition of true Demo
cratic principles, and its enthusiasm In
cause which involves the popular welfare
