SrArEsMAN;-A very amusing Incl
dent occurred last week. Blanchard
OF Louisiana, came to me with three
column article clipped from The St.
Louis Republican, Blanchard is a
friend OF poor Lo The article men
toned declared that the Idaho stat
utes contain provision offering re-
ward for
INDIAN sCALPs,
proportional as follows: Buck, $25;
squaw, Sl5; pappoose, sl0. The
governor wired that no such statute
existed and upon reading it, the
Louisiana statesman was not only
gratfed, but expressed his determi-
nation to support our Cmur d'Alene
reservation bill by the way, the
House will
PROBABLY PASS
the Ceur dAlene bill if we can get
it up. However, the time is so short
and important bills so numerous, that
it is difficult to say what our chances
are for success.
Wilson Of Washington, is working
like beaver to secure something in
the way OF public buildings for his
State. His Senators sent him a bill
(which passed thu Senate as a matter
OF courtesy providing for the pur-
chase of four building sites: but not
giving to any place building. 1t is
not only more than Wilson can in
duoe the House to give, but it is i'm
practicable. Hence, Wilson, like
strong drink, is raging. He will en-
deavor to secure at least one build
ing for his State and may succeed.
Idaho was not admitted early
enough to come in for building at
this session. Her United States
courts not being organized, and the
volume Of business being wholly I'M
known, there is no basis from which
to work. Next session we can doubt
less secure one building. We cannot
hope to realize the wild dream Of the
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
in that direction; but the political
promises made in party platform,
and passing appropriation bills
through the House, are somewhat
different propositions.
Our Idaho Senators were not long
in making sensation. Mcconnell
had taken the oath perhaps twenty
minutes, when Stewart moved to Law

the financial measure, 1t was com.

WHISKY AND OIL
Get Mrs. Mary McCormac Behind
the Bars.

Mrs. A. Piersch is German widow with
several children, who has to make liv-
ing, and one way in which she proceeds, is
to rent furnished rooms in her little place
of residence at PSI E. Commerce street.
Mrs. Mary McCormac, of slightly differ
ent nationality. also widow, is one Of
her roomerS. Mrs. McCormac, who is
said to be a fortune teller, and at times
has had considerable money about her, is
charged with imbibing too freely in that
essence of inspiration, known as whisky.
So it happened night before last, when,
as the German landlady charges, her
Scotch renter was too full to find the door
knob, and spent the night in the yard.
When the woman awoke yesterday morn
ing, she claimed TO have been robbed
charging one of Mrs. Piersch's children
with the theft. This reused the landlady's
ire, and they fell out and fit" The front
door opened with crash, and the two
women came out on the street, graphing
There were some right and left handlers
given by both parties and broken Eng
lish cusswords and highstrung Scotch and
Irish rung out shrill and sharp through
the air. Officer Mushall quieted them
down, but they had another set-to in
front of the ArOeiter Verein saloon, and
then again retired, Mrs. McCormac going
to her room. About half-paSt four yes
terday afternoon Mrs. Piersch, through a
crack in the partition Of the woman's
room, noticed smoke, an odor OF coal oil,
and saw flames. The frightened land
lady shrieked for help, and telephone
call was sent to the police station, stating
that there was fire at 251 East Com
merce street. Officer Peterson and As.
sistant Marshal Hennessy started for the
scene in great haste. When they reached
the house the Scotch woman had eXtin-
guished the flames, and the officers found
nothing, but the excited German land
lady, Mrs. McCormac was quietly seated
on the floor. No flames or smoke were
visible, but the odor of kerosene oil
were still apparent. The police ex-
pressed their opinions that there evident
ly had been no fire here, when the Scotch
woman arose, and Capt Hennessey no
ticed the hole which had been burnt in
floor. That settles it, you have been
Matching fire in this house, my. good
woman" remarked the Captain, pointing
to the spot upon which Mrs. McCormac
had been sitting, and the affidavit against
her for arson was then made before JUS
tice Anton Adam, who placed her under
$1,000 bond, which she could not give,
and so Mrs. Mary McCOrmac now fingers
in the county jail. Detective Van Riper,
who removed her to the Jail, said thar
she was still under the influence Of liqu~r
when the arrest was made.

A Reply.
Editor San
SAN ANTONIO, May Is, 1891.


Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
In your issue of May IL, there is a cor
recton by one of the candidates for alder
man in the Sixth ward, in which he
claims that he never did vote for Mayor
Callaghan, or advocate his election. As
to what he may have done in the past,
we do not know, but he does not deny that
he is an administration man, in his cor
rection; he simply says that he is an in
dependent candidate and would represent
the interest of the taxpayers to the best
of his ability. Well now, Mr.. Editor, we
have got lots of men in the coun--
ell, elected on just such nonsensical
talk, but when it comes to representing
the tax payers their memory fails them,
or their abilities were lacking to the best
interests of their constituents, as per the
additional taxation to meet the so called
$4,000 deficiency on the city hall.
III Mr.. Weidenfeld is not an admins
tration man, why are the administration
ward politicians around the beer saloons
electioneering for him? Straws show
which way the wind blows, and the way
the administration strawS are laying, in
dictate that they are blowing to try and
elect Mr.. Weidenfeld. Yours respect
fully, IAN PAYER

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTHWEST,


In connection with the statement COM
ing semi-oficially from A., I. & 5. +.
headquarters that the New Mexico divi-
sion of the read has in the past year been
more prosperous than any other part OF
the great system, it is well to note what
the Railway Age says OF the Santa Fe line
and its prospects:
About the most gratifying incident OF
the week, says the Age, was the action OF
the A., T. 4 S. +. directors in declaring
interest at the rate of , per cent on the
COmpanys income bonds. The system
earned in the year ending June 30, sur
plus of 81 ,53l 900, and the action there
fore is regarded as being well within con-
sentative lines.
Since the reorganization the property
and equipment has been put in first-class
shape, but it has taken time to do So.
The magnificent physical condition of the
road, with its ample equipment, will ca
able it to promptly move the large crops
now assured in the vast territory through
which the lines OF the company run. An
immense business for the current fiscal
year is overshadowed and there is moth
ing in the present condition OF the prop,
erty but what is encouraging to both bond
and stockholders. Furthermore, advices
from the A., T. & S. +. 8 territory in Kan
sas are to the effect that the recent large
gains in earnings have not resulted from
any movement of the crops, but entirely
from economic operation, from conveying
harvesters to the wheat fields and from
general merchandise traffic. The great
wheat movement has just begun. The
prospect of the income bonds receiving
the full 5 per cent next year are not I'M
adorable.
