the truth or falsitY of that publication.

A DIAMOND RING.
1t Causes Trouble Between A. B.
Trombley and S. w. Rice.

The suit of A. B. Trombley against S.
W. Rice to recover $3.50, the value of a
diamond ring, placed by the former
with the latter as security for loan of
SIS, and alleged to have been disposed
of contrary to law, was heard in the
civil branch of the municipal court yes
terday afternoon. Trombley claims that
the ring, which contained five diamonds
and several rubies, was worth $3.50, and
he left il. under chattel mortgage, with
Rice. who disposed of it without his
authority. and was consequently unable
to return it when he was ready to re-
deem it. Rice admits having had the
ring taken apart and having sold GER
tain portions of it, but claims that one
or the clauses of the mortgage gave him
authority to do so. Considerable testi-
mony was taken yesterday, most of it
bearing upon the terms of the mortgage
and the value of the stones in the ring,
experts Tor the different sides varying
IN their estimates between S125 and
$50 The case was taken under advise
ment.

Committee on Ordinances OPP
poses Repeal of the Liquor Or
dinaHce.
The council committee on ordinances
tackled the ordinance to repeal the
liquor ordinance at its meeting yester-
day afternoon. and wreSted with the
knotty question for nearly an hour.
The committee readily agreed to report
adversely upon the ordinance, but the
question of how far the committee
ought to 90 caused considerable discus
sion. Some of the members seemed to
feel that the committee should not take
any radical action. as that might be con-
Strued as criticism upon the present
administration. A comparative state
ment of arrests and convictions under
the present liquor ordinance showed
that since 1889 over 100 convictions were
had upon arrests made by police Off
GERS, while during the present year not
one arrest had been mate by police
officer under This law. This engendered
a-lively discussion as to why the law
had not been enforced, and the com
mittee practically agreed that a rigid
enforcement of the law would be most
satisfactory 10 the public.
1t is almost certainty that the coun-
ell will bury the ordinance when it
comes up at the meeting tonight They
are afraid of it. They have been look
ing at the matter from all sides, and
they are afraid to attempt to pass the
ordinance. They see clearly that the
mass Of the people is against
it. There is no question in the
minds of a good many aldermen
that the present ordinance is CRANK
ordinance. and that the city statutes
would be much better without it. But

men. who have no hesitancy in stating
that they will oppose the ordinance,
that it will not receive more than three

TIE JEFF DAVIS PICTURE.

At the presentation of the JEFF
Davis picture in the House of Re.
representatives. Saturday Elk Governor
Lubbock delivered a grand enlogY
to the old hero, commenting upon
which the Austin Statesman says:
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, were
victorious conquerors because backed
by overwhelming numbers. Jeffer-
son Davis master mind, out of chaos
created a separate government, Or
ganized large armies, and for four
years stood the terrific shock of the
forces of an old and established gov
eminent with illimitable resources
at its command and practically aided
by all the governments of the civil
lied world. He rode the whirlwind,
and amid the dangerous sublimity
of the conflict in which the stars
and bars went down forever, Jeffer-
son Davis stood calm, collected,
defiant unbending, immovable as
the mountain peak against which
the raging storms beat in vain.
The greatness of the President
of the Confederacy will shine out to
Posterity. Let the portrait OF his
features rest in the archives of our
state government for the benefit of
future generations of Texas.

RoorH AGAIN.

John Wilks Booth, President Lin
colu's assinator, is dead. Almost
indubitible evidence has been fur
nished of this fact every year since
the assassination, but annually
every year as regularly as the
spring returns some newspaper cor
respondent claims to have seen him
or to know of his whereabouts.
This year the story has started
early. Chicago special stating Rev.
Armstrong who recently died in At
lanta was John Wilkes Booth. The
special says that it was rumored af-
ter the mans death that he commit
ted suicide and that the coroner
would hold an inquest and an effort
be made to find his private papers.
Last year an enterprising CORES
pondent from Laredo claimed that
he had spent a night with Booth in
a hotel since his alleged death, but
the gentleman could not get the
public to believe his story and after
a very slight breeze created by the
announcement and some paper re-
producing the proof of his death
the matter died out as it will this
time, for such reports are chestnuts
hoary with years of antiquity.

THE CORRECT WAY.

The wide-awake citizens of Aran-
sas. Pass have subscribed for one
thousand additional copies of the
Beacon, to be sent out each week, as
an advertisement for Arkansas Pass.
Now that is business. Editor Fly
will get some pay for the hard work
he is doing in making known the ad-
vantages Of his beautiful section
Floresville Chronicle.
To which the BANNER desires to
emphasize the fact that IT IS BUSINESS.
The people of Arkansas Pass will, in
this way, while advertising their
advantages help to at least
build up one Arkansas Pass in
stitution, and at the same time have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
are getting fair amount of work for
their money. There is no question
but that this is better way of ad-
Vertising the advantages Of any place
than by patronlzing the fake adYer-
Using concerns that are frequently
canvassing the State. A regular
edition of county paper sent
out of the State gives a fair index to
the town or city, whereas these
special boom editions are always
more or less exaggerated and are not
looked upon as reliable. The pros
pectors reading a Texas paper regu-
larly sees the paper III its normal
condition and can better judge what
kind of a place it emenates from If
all the Texas towns would adept the
plan of the Arkansas Pass people to
advertise their advantages the papers
could afford to devote more space to
write-ups of the garden spots of
this great State, and we have no
doubt the results would be mere
satisfactory.

EDITOR BANNER:
To use a sailors phrase the devi
is to pay and no pitch hot, whilst
the flowers of rhetoric are falling
in the house as thick as snow in
Dacota and all about the commits
sion bill, the chief trouble about
which is to settle the true paternity
of the bill that is to pass. Gov.
Hogg loaded his mortar with noise.
less powder and threw bomb right
in the midst of the assembly; said
bomb, when it exploded, informed
the mighty Lawmakers that the peo-
pie expected them to pass an appor-
tionment bill at this session and it
was their duty to do it and to make
the districts compact. You have
heard the busy little csyote howl
around your camp at night; well, he
is not a circumstance to a bowling
legislator. He had relied SO con-
fdently on this apportionment to
give him a call session and another
chance to pass laws and draw per
diem. The cable to his bow anchor
is broken. He says it will take him
forty days to apportion the state
into congressional districts; then to
do this at 50 per day. Absurd and
ridiculous! Then to make the dis
tricts as near square as possible :;
still more absurd. Why, would you
believe it, more than half of them
want to 90 to congress themselves.
Like the old freshman that was ask,
ed who they would have for justice
of the peace in his precinct, said:
FBe jasus there is no man so fitting
as myself" So many things are to
be done and considered in this ap-
portionment. The large cities must
not be in the same district that
virtually keeps every prominent
politician in the cities out in the
cold; then senegambia is to be pro-
tected, and last, but not least, the
rights of anxious expectants But
why take forty days for this work?
If they will appoint Gov. Hogg. the
chaplain of the senate and another
sensible man, your correspondent
for instance, 1 warrant they will
make a good, honest sensible bill in
five days. But would such a bill
pass? Not now; not now. In the
meantime if it does them any good
to howl, let them. There is a dis
interested few that enjoy it.

MUNICIPAL.

The Tyler Democrat and Repor
ter, commenting on its approaching
city election, utters some truths
equally applicable to Brennan,
which we reproduce here with slight
changes:
The city's destiny for years, may
be forever, depends upon what style
of officers are elected. Conserva-
tive men, but straight forward men
of progress, are needed in every
place; moss-backs and pull-backs are
not needed anywhere. The chronic
grumbler and Pathfinder should be
relocated to profound silence and re-
tirement, where he can ,amuse him
self to his hearts content without
bothering anybody else. The man
who wants to build city and still
live in the country will never sue
cessfully do either. Elect honest
men; elect business men; elect con,
careful men; elect progress
sive men; elect men who recognize
the fact that Brennan is not
grown city, but only in the child
hood of its growth, and needs able.
and diligent hands to push and
guide it to its final destiny as one
of the leading interior cities of
Texas.

Strengthening themselves and en-

starch trust, says the National Dem

petition partly by the Mckinley
bill, which increased the duties on
starch, and partly by the appraisers

starch and dutiabIe, although Con
gress said it was not starch and put
it on the free list. Being thus for
feited against attacks from abroad
the National Starch Manufacturing
Company has sent out circular to
be signed by dealers which binds
them to handle only trust starch,
not to cut prices and allowing them
5 per cent. reduction on yearly pur-
chases. The circular was of a con-
