SUMMER NECESSITIES.
Attractive Sales for the Ladies at
WOlfson's-Lawns' and Parasols.

Attractive Sales for the Ladies at
WOlfson's-Lawns and Parasols.
This is the season of the year when
Mr.. WoltsOn has found it most ad-
v~antageous to offer special induce
ments to the ladies in the way of ne
cessities for summer wear.
With that object in view, a large
and new importation of black checked
and striped lawns has been placed ON
sale at such low figures as to prove,
its desirability for both quality and
price.
Vandyke belts are still fashionable
as is proven by the rapidity of sale at
Woltson's.
Parasols for use and comfort are
also q necessity this warm weather.
Wolfson has them by the Thousand,
in endless style and make, from COT
ton to the finest silk and satin, in
black and colors, which will be closed
out at from so cents to So. These fig
ures are from 20 to 25 per cent. below
actual value. But the stock is large
and must be reduced even at 80 great
q sacrifice. 7-2S-2t

DeraiIed by a Horse.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2S.-As
freight train No. SO, on the L. and N.
approached the heavy down grade at
bridge No. b, Near Sulphur, KY, the
engineer detected a horse caught be-
tween the..ties on the bridge; seeing he
could not stop the engine in time, he
put on steam endeavoring to throw
the horse from the track. The en-
CINE was derailed, jumping over the
ties until the bridge was passed,
when both engineer and fireman
jumped. The engine fell upon the
latter, Geo. Barker, killing him in
stantly, the engineer escaping with
both legs broken. The engine and
twelve cars were ditched, n brake
man was also seriously injured.

OUR SUMMER ABSENTEES-

The city census has suffered con-
siderably from the absentees who left
their homes for northern resorts, and
left none to answer the census emu
merator. But there is an entire popu-
lation who claim San Antonio as their
residence, who, in fact, are only here
for the winter; in fact, our city is a
sort of Christmas resort tor them, aud
if 1t is city election year, they vote as
one of their pastimes. This is the
Mexican farm laborer that hocks
to Hays and adjoining coun-
tee in thespring and remain
until cotton picking is over.
The question was put 10 the
supervisor of census If these people
should be enumerated in the districts
where they are now resident and as
they could not be enumerated in San
Antonio and were settled on the 1st
of June on the cotton farms of other
counties, it was decided to enumerate
them as residents of the localities in
which they were found. The question
is does San Antonio lose her winter
resorters as voters?

Mattings and Linoleums.

Housewives and hotel keepers will
find it greatly to their advantage to
call and inspect the immense and de-
sirable lines of mattings and linole-
ums now on sale at Wolfson's. The
stock embraces all that is new and OF
recent make, and in order to COD vince
them that the prices are lower than
elsewhere a personal inspection is
necessary. Nothing is more comfort
able and clearly in the summer than
a good mating or good linoleum, and
the prices are now so low as to COM
mend them to one and all. You can
save money by buying from Wolf
son. % 1t

Mormon Capital i'm California.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-The
Chronicle says it has been ascertained
that although they say $1,000, 900
worth of property belonging to the
Mormon church was found by a United
States marshal in Utah, when in
structed to seize all the Mormon
funds, from five millions to eight
millions of Mormon capital is invest
ed in San Francisco and other Cali
fornia cities. This money be-
ing invested in real estate
and manufacturing enterprises
under the name of individuals who
have made Investments not appar-
emily for the church, but for them
selves. This method has been adopt
ed with the hope that the United
States government would find no
trace of the money. The Mormon
capital invested has been handled by
the Pacific bank, and the San Angelo
California bank. r. II. Mcdonald, Jr.,
of the Pacific bank admits his bank
has handled Mormon funds, but re-
fused to make public the transactions.
Bishop C%lauseu, of the Mormon
church, is in the city and denies Nor
mon capital is invested here. He has
been associated in financial transac-
tions with Alexander Hallow and
Isaac Toumbs, of this city, for the
past year. Toumbs is now in Salt
Lake City, and Hallow denies the
Chronicles story.

But They Are Doing Well and win
ming Much Praise.
The Last Day of commencement at
Colby University.

AUGUSTA, July 2-Battalion drills, re-
view and dress parade this afternoon closed
the hardest days work the men ever did on
the muster field Tomorrow is Governors
day, when large numbers of visitors are ex-
pected There will probably be sham
fight in the afternoon. The best muster
ever held in the state, is the general verdict.
The sanitary arrangements of the camp are
perfect Regular army discipline prevails
Very few men are sick. The militia are ap-
preciatng the fact that muster is period of
work, not play.
The increase in the number of the First
Regiment from 372 to 800, largely occurred
through the attaching of the Is men of the
Portland Light Infantry to the Portland Ca
dets. 1t has not been decided whether the
Infantry will be permanently dismissed or
not.
As an extra incentive to closer and more
faithful attention to duty, the general COM
manding and his staff offer prizes for the
performance of camp duties, to be competed
for by the several companies in the COM
mand. The first prize is gold media, w hich
has already arrived in camp, and is beauty.
1t is to be worn by the captain of the win
ming company when on duty with his COM
pany. The second prize is steel engraving,
entitled 'The Roll Call" framed for the ar
mory. The awards are to be made in Janu-
ary next by board of officers consisting of
the colonels of the regiments, the assistant
adjutant general and the brigade inspector,
who are keeping sharp eye on the duties
named.
