A winter in the South-the very words
%conjure up delicious memories for those
who have been there. The bright sunny
skies, the dry bracing air and the warm
sunshine is in decided contrast to the
cold, bleak North.
The great state OF Texas is celebrated
as one great broad winter resort in itself,
but the following places are, perhaps,
particularly popular: Fort Worth. with
its mineral baths, healthful climate and
good hotels; Austin. the beautiful capitol
city; San Antonio, one of the few really
historical places in our country; Houston,
with It's blooming roses, oleanders and
groves of oranges and lemons. and Gal
weston with its delicious sea breezes.
These are but a few of the delightful
resorts of this highly favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts of our rigorous weather. trans
ported by magic from the region of snow
and ice to the fragrance of this summer
land, is now made possible and easy by
the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth branch
of the Union Pacific system, which runs
through Pullman palace sleepers be-
tween Denver, Fort Worth, Dallas Shreve-
port and New Orleans, and offers exceed
ing low excursion rates to all Southern
cities from Denver, Colorado Springs and

Il M'MAHoS. -M R.-MfMAHoS.-
Mahon had in open court severely horse
whipped Lawyer McHugh in spite Of
judge, sheriff and deputies. Everybody
wanted to know who this vigorous lady
was and why she went on thus, but before
they could get her history announcements
ollowed that she and her husband had
been sentenced to ten days in jail for con-
tempt OF court and that Mrs. McMahon
had become a raving maniac and been CON
fined to an asylum.
The public insisted on knowing il all,
and the evidence presents n most extraote
binary tragedy in real life-love runninR
counter to creed, family arrangements,
horrible scandals. charges of murder, bit
terly contested law suits, insanity and final
ly death, for Edward j. Mcmahon, the I'M
happy young husband and father. has just
expired of typhoid pneumonia at Mercy
hospital, Chicago. His wife, restored TO
perfect reason, was at his bedside to the
last, and he never once mentioned his own
family nor did they know of his sickness
until served with some legal notices made
necessary by his death.
Edward WIS the son of John L. McMa-
hon, once a famous contractor, and ten years
ago he married a Miss McGordon of Mus
kegon, Mich, who died young, leaving tw0
children, of whom only one, Edward Nil
ton, survives. And this child, heir to his
mothers $4,000, became the object OF con-
t~ention; for when his father married Mrs.
Elizabeth Carney, a divorced woman, the
Mcmahon family cried out against it and
declared that their views on divorce would
not allow them to leave the boy Milton in
a home so organized. His grandmother,
Mcmahon, got possession Of the boy and re-
fused to give him up, while her younge
son Stephen dissolved partnership with Ed
ward, and then one of the b~itterest fights
in Chicago legal annals began.
Mrs. Peter Smith, sister Of Edward Me-
Mahon, joined in. The father was driven
almost to madness They charged him and
his wife with drunkenness and immortality
and finally alleged that Edward had tried
to poison his sou to get the boys $4,000.
Mrs. Edward Mcmahon is n daughter %
Colonel Edwards, a gallant Ohio soldier,
also well known as a theatrical manager,
and the fury OF the other side was chiefly
directed ut her. She brought suit against
Peter Smith. but in the meantime had to
appear AS "A witness on behalf of her hus-
band in the poisoning case. Lawyer Nc
Hugh in open court attacked her charac-
ter and the horsewhipping followed.
There was no evidence of weight in the
poisoning case and it was dismissed; while
in the other case, the boy Millions uncle,
McGordon, in Michigan, was made guard
ian Of his property and his father guardian
OF his person. Edward Mcmahon was now
reduced to great straits for want of money
and his wife was in the asylum, so he went
to work with extra diligence, took cold and
soon died, at the early age of thirty-three.
The boys uncle is now his sole guardian,
and the widowed but still young and
beautiful Mrs. Mcmahon is alone.

Lsundnnce Republlcnnl

tSundance Republican,
OF course the r%ustlers will charge the
crime to the big owners and more trouble
of a serious nature may be expected. The
thieves are numerous up there and have
had the audacity to publicly organize un-
der a Sauzy disguise. They have an
uounced the practice Of seyerest %retalia-
ton, saying they will have hoof for hoot
and life for life. This was especially with
reference to stolen cattle recovered by the
stote stock commission. They set out to
shoot an equal number OF cattle on the
range, and the finding Of carcasses with
bullet holes is reported frequently. Since
the lynching of WaCgoner in Weston
county the thieves have been threatening
to do murder and have named prominent
citizens marked for death. Estes Polk,
one of the best known COWBOYS in the
state and a reliable man, arrived here
from Buffalo Monday. He knows Tisdale
and Allison, aud says their reputation is
shady. Mr.. Polk tells that TIsdale and
Allison lately held mp with a six shooter
and beat a cowboy. This incident may
furnish the KEY to the killing.

Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-05

The great annual flower fete of Los
Angeles will open tomorrow evening in
the pavilion. For seven or more years
these displays OF the floral wealth of
this sunny land, with her fertile soils,
have been very successful in calling at
tention to the unparalleled superiority
of our climate, and to the excellence
and great variety of our flower products; +;
and they have also been instrumental
in increasing the variety of our flowers,
and in improving their qualities in all
respects. A display of flowers may be
had here at any season of the year, but
the first or second week OF April is the
best of all the weeks in the year. The
floral season is then at its height. And
this is quite early enough to challenge
and attract the attention OF the world.
There is no spot in our country outside
of Southern California which could
make much Of display of flowers
grown out of doors at that early date.
The frost is still deep in the ground in
many regions, and even in the south
the season is not sufficiently advanced
to furnish more than meager supply of
imperfect buds. Our flower fete has
done much to male the minds OF visit,
ors here, and of their friends in the
east, understand better the many attrac-
tions of this secti,n.

RHODE ISLAND wrought one reform
when the property qualification for
voters was abolished, but the work is
only half effected until supplemented
by second reform making a plurality
vote elect. AS it was the man
who owned jackass was an
elector, and the man who did not pos
sess this musical and docile animal was
not. The question naturally arose
whether it was the man or the donkey
who held the franchise. At the late
election the Democrats had a handsome
plurality on the state ticket, but this is
made of no account for the reason that
it requires a majority vote to elect.
These things are old remnants of the
half American methods retained by
many of the old colonies. They need
to reform after the pattern of the great
commonwealths of the free and breezy
west, where the most healthily robust
form of American sentiment is found to
flourish

so feet, and if you buy 1t you will get left; then
there is good grade of standard hose, so feet
for $4. so; this we are instructed that we can
warrant; then the best we have a hose that we
will positively warrant SO feet for s5-hose,
that. We also got in nice little bargain in
Smyrna rugs and .portierres. In lounges and
couches we will be able to show you
something extra fine this week. Those $l5
bedroom sets are nearly gone, but let us tell
you that we are carrying superb line of bed
room sets, as well as wardrobes, sideboards,
tables, chairs, etc., all sold on the Red Rice
plan-cheap, cheap for cash. "Everybod

these. In the strife of traffic and worry they
come to us as cool water in the desert. Yes, in
deed, you will be fairly dealt with at Red
