A Stockman Claims to Have Lost
$1,000 ut a Lodging House.
About q week ago O stockman and
stock trader, named Elkin, living in
Lavaca county, put up late one night
conducted by Mr.. J. Il. Payne, ana
arose early the next morning, telling
the proprietor that he had lost MS
coat, containing large sum OF money,
some $1,000. He seemed rather
unconcerned about the loss:
He was further questioned
about his loss, when 1t was
ascertained that he had deposited $50
of the money in saloon, and didn't
think it worth the while to deposit
the other 81, 300. With this he left
the house and proceeded by the next
train to Wilson county where he In
formed Mr.. Geo. Neil of the loss. Mr..
Neil, who owned about 81 900 of this
amount, came to San Antonio at once
and Investigated the matter. The
facts of the case seem to be that Mr..
Neil and q nephew, whose name
could not be learned, authorized Mr..
Elkin to sell some mules for them.
He went to Gonzales, where, it
is said, he sold the mules TO a
near relatives of his, and then came
to San Antonio. He found the banks
closed, and consequently deposited
but SS5 of the money in Albert's
saloon. That night he went into q
gaming room and played consider
ably, however, coming out winner.
He went to the White Elephant lodg-
ing house about 2:30 q. m. that morn
ing and left the place before day
break, when he complained to the
proprietor of having been robbed in
the house. Mr.. Payne at once insti-
tuted search but without avail.
Everything was in apparent or
der, and every body in his place.
Mr.. Elkin owned but one-fourth OF
the money lost, nephew of NeiPs
owned the other fourth and Mr.. Geo.
Neil the remain ng half.
It was stated in q dispatch this
morning that the local police had
been notified, which is not the case,
as neither the police nor the detec-
uves have been informed of the
robbery, by any of the parties inter-
ested.
Mr.. Neil, however. is pushing his
investigation in quiet manner, hop
ing to finally unrayel the matter.

The outrage committed by the congress
of the United States in 1873 against the
people of the District of Columbia it APP
pears is remembered by the toilers Of the
country. The convention of the fedora
tion Of labor in session at Birmingham,
Alabama, passed resolution in favor Of
the establishment of a republican form of
government in the said district. Think of
it American voters. A section of country
in which is located the capital of the great
est republic on earth and which has more
permanent citizens than many of the
states of the union, is debarred Of the
elective franchise mot allowed to elect
its own officers; has no representation
in congress or anywhere else and is ruled
by three commissioners appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate.
II this is not Taxation without represent
ation,' what is it2 Even the territories of
the United States elect their own legisla-
tors and the towns and cities choose their
own local officers.

A UNANIMOUS DECISION.


At every stage of the trouble between
the rioters Of King county and the military,
the TRIBUNE held that the national guard
companies were called out BY Governor
Ferry, were in the service of the state and
the members should be paid by the state.
The governor, who is looked upon as a
good lawyer, contended that he did not Or
der out the troops. His positive state
ment, together with his admitted legal
lore, had influence with the other two
members of the military auditing board,
Messrs. Reed and 'Brien, in their refusal
to audit the bills of expenses in
CURED. The supreme court has unani-
mously decided that the governor was
wrong; that the military was conducting
the business Of the state and thestate must
pay the men for that service. Such appears
to have been the general opinion Of the
press throughout Washington. Col.
Haines is shown to have handled both the
troops and the law points in this case in
an admirable manner, and the supreme
court having decided adversely to the gov
ernor and his colleagues on the auditing
board, the soldiers will at least get their
money for arduous services performed.
They ought to receive it before Christmas.

Over the Garden Wall.

"reminiscences, now that he is dead, of
poor old Billy Florence, are in order. One
night at the Lambs Club in New York he
told me the following story in his inimit-
able style:
'sGovernor c., of Texas, was fine,
hearty old chap-very courteous to all in
terviewers, but had a penchant for most
terribly exaggerating every statement he
made, giving him reputation of being
modern Ananias. His daughter, charm
ing girl of 20 years, took him to task one
day and said: Papa, you know very we'll
that you exaggerate everything that you
say for publication, and hereafter when
you are being interviewed / will conceal
myself, and when you exaggerate / will
sing Over the Garden WALL and then you
will know that you must moderate your
statements All right, daughter replied
the governor, ut is very kind Of my little
girl to take SO much trouble for her old
dad A few days later female reporter
called and thus opened the ball: Gov
ernor, win you tell me how many cattle
you have on your range this season?'
swell, madame, | have at least $4,000
head on the range this year.
over the garden WALL
NOW, dear madame, considering that
during the past season, the water being
scarce and grass not up to the standard, l
do not hesitate in saying, that on tie range
this year, l have 25,000 head Of cattle.
''Over the garden wall"
My dear madame, as no doubt you are
going to publish this interview, and as
dislike being misquoted, will safely say,
yes, safely say, that have $4,000 head on
my range this season.

THE women of the Relief Corps of Olym-

practical manner. i'll which they have ad-
ministered to the partial comfort of the
veterans Of the war at the soldiers home
at Orting. The women in other parts Of
the state have not been idle in the same
direction. While the state furnishes the
plain necessaries Of life to their guests, the
wives, daughters and friends of the thous-
ands of old soldiers throughout Washing
ton will not fail to send some of the luxu-
ries of life to those who reside at the
Home. They earned the right to be
treated royalty in their declining years.

a provision in his will that those who be-
came inmates should be treated as guests,
Just the same as if he were alive and had
invited them to visit him. That's the feel
