A FEW days ago two negroes in
the store of Haubelt Bros, made
few purchases and in taking their
departure picked up some bundles
belonging to their customers and
walked out. Sunday Mr.. Joe Elmer
went out near Longpoint and
searched the house of one Of the ne
groes but not being able to find the
goods, decided upon a better
method before reaching the house
of the other. He told him that he
came out after the goods he took by
mistake, and that he was seen to
put them in a sack. The negro
owned up and the goods were re-
covered, At the first house the ne
gro had seen him approaching and
lowered the goods to the bottom OF
the well. The negroes were not ar
rested.

DIDN'T GET AN INVITATION.

When the Santa Fe first reached
Brennan it was announced that
the first train to run over the road
would bring the Galveston Artillery
to Brennan, but for some reason
they couldn't get off and the
Brennan Greys, accompanied
by a band and some three hundred
citizens went down there to hep
them celebrate the event, and they
celebrated in grand style, and were
treated just as the Brennan team
had prepared to treat them had they
come here.
Now when the wires flashed the
glorious news of the President
signing the bill that insures deep
water at Galveston, which means
more roads to that place that will
have to go through Brennan, and
great advantages to all the State,
and heard the wires flash back mes
sage after message to Fl. Worth,
Houston, San Antonio, Austin and
other places to come down Sat

celebrate the great event, Bren.

To PASS along the street one can
tell that the merchants of Brennan
have prepared for large Fall trade,
but the goods displayed in several
houses, three that the reporter has
been through, Messrs. A. & II. Har-
rison, A. Simon and Cohen Bros,
is not half they have on hand, as
the second story of many of them
are packed with piles and stacks of
handsome goods, and boxes and
bales yet unopened. In fact the re-
porter can scarcely realize that some
of them are not overstocked, know
ing that the cheap freight rate at
the buying season was an induce
ment for them to lay in full sup
ply of everything they would proba-
bly, need. But trade is beginning
to iven up, now md the number .of
those complaining decreases day by
day, and soon the reporter hopes to
hear at every house that trade is
! brisk.

KEPUBLrcAN CONTENTION,

The republican county convention
met again Friday and nominated
the following ticket:
For the legislature, r. j. Moore
or ]. G. Cain, who was chairman:
This may not seem very definite, but
it is as near the facts as could be ascer
tanned by an eye witness to the pro
ceedings. More was nominated, but
Cain as chairman wouldn't have it
that way and after several votes he
he declared himself the nominee.
There was considerable confusion
over the result. County judge, w.
G. Broesche; county clerk, c. W.
However: sheriff, T. J. Await; dis
trict clerk. G. ". VIM;
collector, Joe MERCK Asses
sor, Julian Hope; county attorney,
B. S. Rogers, the Democratic
nominee was Endorsed. For county
Treasurer G. Minkwitz the Demo-
cratic nominee. For surveyor II. X.
Won Bieberstein, also Democratic
nominee.
There were no precinct officers
nominated.
The convention was divided into
two parts on the Representative.
Moorites and Cainites.
Prof. Harris in speech went for
Patterson without gloves.
General Manager Paul Fricke was
there. In an address before the con-
vention he said he had come 172
miles to help them out and that he
wanted to see a ticket put IN the
field that would lead them to victory
in November. He sided with Moore
against Cain and therebyincurred the
displeasure of at least half the con-
vention.
While the committee were out
Mr.. Ben Rogers, democratic nomi-
nee for county, attorney addressed
| the convention for nearly an hour,
and gave them a good straight talk.
Some of the republicans expressed
their dissatisfaction in no uncertain
terms about Democrats being put
on the ticket.
Mr.. Fricke was "boss" of the oc
casion and engineered the conven
ton, but was unequal to the emer
gency when it come to nominating
representative, though he sided witt
Moore.
The presumption is that Cain and
Moore will both run, but what diff
ference does it make, neither have
any chance to be elected.
This convention was held by
whatever delegates they could picl
up, and neither Gay Hill, Independ
ence nor Greenvine being represen
ted.
The convention proceedings were
equal to a circus. so we were in
formed, and was a wrangle from
beginning TO end.
| Mr.. Fricke was on the committee
to select the ticket, and though b
lives in another section of the State
he told the convention that b
wanted no Office; that he had on
better than any two in Washington
county.
AT the last convention Cain wa
nominated and as this convention
was re convened to fill out the ticket
not to elect new one, Cain is of tn
opinion that it transcribed its pc
, litical power.

FRIDAY a reporter was shown
through the dry goods establishment
of MIR. F. A. Eldridge, and congrat
ulates himself that his better-halt
was not along, for no lady can go
through and see the piles and stocks
of handsome goods without making
innumerable purchases. He has
just received and opened up large
and varied stock of fall and winter mill
inery goods which embraces the larg-
est lot of plumes. and birds, of which
there are no two alike, that has per,
haps ever been on exhibition here
His stock of dress goods, gents
clothing and furnishing goods, hats
shoes, etc, is complete and offered
at reasonable prices. In fact space
is too limited to give an adequate
idea of the new and handsome goods
on exhibition there now, but it will
pay you to call and look through.
He is offering the stock as whole
for sale, as will be seen by notice
elsewhere, but until a sale is con-
sumated will continue to offer to the
trade rare bargains from this large
and varied stock of fall and winter
goods. See notices elsewhere.

The party of camp-hunters who
went out to the Yegua Saturday re-
turned Sunday night Upon inquiry
it was learned that though they
failed to find any game they had a
royal time anyway, and authorized
the BANNER to state that no camp
hunt was a success without bottle
of 'high-life." They had bottle
and '.high-lifed" everything they
met going and coming. For the
benefit of the BANNER readers who
may not be sup" on this ''trick,
will state that ''high'life" is harm
less drug, that when applied to any
animal, has an electrical effect, and
causes CITATIONS that would make a
dog laugh. The sleepiest plug in
the country will buck like a spanish
mule with little high-life iudicious

A dispatch from Chicago says :
81. L. Moore is mysteriously miss
ing. Moore came to Chicago with
his wife from Texas about two
weeks ago. Tuesday morning he
left his boarding house, telling his
wife he was going down to town to
find a situation. He took 5000 in
money, gold watch and chain, and
diamonds belonging to himself and
his wife's diamonds. He did not re-
turn, and has not since been heard
of. His wife fears foul play. The
police are looking for him."
1t is generally believed that this
is the J. L. Moore who formerly re
sided at this place, and who went
from here to California.
