SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Times are exceedingly dull, is the gen
eral remark made by business men. Some
say the cholera scare has made business
Dad: others attribute all the ills of life
to Hogg.
Poor Hogg, the faithful democrat, is
now to- be saddled with the sins of his
party.
The RAILROAD commission and the alien
land,law were democratic measures.
At any rate times are dull, and the peo-
pie have plenty of leisure to look after
political affairs. Plenty of time to re.
gister, plenty of time to attend political
meetings; plenty Of time to clean out the
ring.
Nothing will contribute more to res
toration of good times than the election OF
an entire new set of county officials.
1t will restore confidence in the future
of our city and county. Every good clti-
zen will feel safer.
That the intelligent. good citizens pre-.
dominate can't be denied; that at the
ballot box the intelligent citizen will out
number aud outvOte the ignorant tramp
population, is a certainty.
That the bargains and sales consum-
mated by trading local office holders can
not re-elect them, must be apparent to
the dullest man.

WEST END LETT Err
Sept. %, 1892.

Sept. %, 1892.
To the Daily LIGHT
The health of West End is good. Never
have any sickness here only when those
who are sick before, come among us. l
have been somewhat surprised lately to
learn that those who are deeply interest
ed elsewhere, have circulated not only
among their neighborS, but to all Strang-
ers they meet, that West End is the most
unhealthy place around San Antonio, and
say to em"keep away from West End,
that lake of stagnant water is death
hole, and breeder Of disease, etc. |
wish to say to those who make such as
SertionS, that they are making statements
that are without foundation and totally
untrue, and should cOntine themselves to
truthful assertions, when they make
them. Anybody can call on the resident
physician al West Emo and he will tell
them that such statements are not the
truth. No better physician inhabits our
country than DIR. j. 5. Lank-
ford, and he has to go elsewhere
to find his practice, as sickness
seldom creepS in our midst. People
should not let self-interest prompt them
TO say things that are calculated toln1hre
others without cause, and conhne them ,
selves to the truth. We have even heard
of some doctors who have made such
ested motive we believe. If people don't
know that we are healthy let them come
out and see for themselves, and they will
be better satisfied.
There is not a single case Of sickness In
West End that originated here. We had
an accident to occur here on the 22nd,
when Mr.. Boon's son accidental lily dis
charged pistol and shot his brother, In.
ficting very serious wound but not
mortal.
The artesian well is progressing rapidly,
about 575 feet deep. We anticipate a
fine flow of water from this well, and II
successful will begin another right away.
Several new buildings are in contempla-
ton this fall In West End.
Those who are little enviouS Of West
End will hear from her some day soon
and be sorry they did not invest with us.
Gen Geo. w. Russ, at last accounts.
was improving in health. All West End
people are much interested in the health
of Gen. Russ. for when away from us we
miss his counsel, his energy and his un-
firing perseverance.
The DAILY LIGHT is a welcome visitor
among us.

The following is clipped from the st.
Louis Republic of the cath instant:
NEW YORK, Sept. 23-Arrangements
have about been completed by which the
Southern Pacific railroad company will
come into possession of the San Antonio.
and Arkansas Pass railroad. The actual
transfer OF the property must necessarily
await the settlement of certain details,
but the general understanding is that Mr..
c. p Huntington will take control of the,
property before his return from San Fran
cisco. The committee representing the
bondholders of the San Antonioroad, will
meet in this city on Monday, October 3, at
which time some action will probably be
taken relative to the sale of the road.
The main line Of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railroad extends from Kerr
vile, Tex, to Houston, a distance of 30S
miles. There are five branches extending
in various directions over Texas. which
make the aggregate mileage of the system
6SS. The road has bonded indebtedness
of about Sl2.000,0O0, A few months ago IL

A reporter for the LIGHT called upon
Mr.. Peek, President RobinsOn's chiefclerk
this morning and showed him the above.
After reading it, he said he knew nothing
whatever about 1t; that recently like
rumOr was published In the Pacific coast
papers, but he did not know whether or
not there was any foundation for either
of the rumors. This office" he said, has
not been advised OF any such change"
President Robinson is at present in New
York, but is expected home in few days.

Countless stories are told about
Jim Lane and Chet Thomas by old
Kansans. These two men were the
pet politicians of the state. Jim was
bold and Chet was sly. Once Lane
visited junction City to make a
speech on Sunday.
IF there is any objection to my
speakin, he remarked to the com
mittee, tell EN- I've been a Meth
odist on probation for forty years"
A great crowd gathered to hear
him. He did not like junction City.
Looking over the beautiful stretch
of prairie he began his speech in
very solemn tones, saying
''God has done much for your
city"
All his hearers seemed to think SO.
"God has done much for your
city," he said again slowly and
thoughtfully 1t was very still
the great crowd held its breath, and
Lane continued:
"God has done much for your city

A Story of a Great Painter.

Vandyke, who was pupil of
Rubens, had much pride in his own
work, as is shown in the following
tale: The canons of a certain church
asked him to paint picture for
them, and when it was done and
they saw it the canons called him a
"dauber," and went away disgusted
Vandyke was only young man then
and had no redress. but after awhile
some critics passed upon the picture
and declared it to be wonderful. The
canons were sorry for their mistake,
and to make amends gave him a
commission for two more pictures.
But Vandyke was On his dignity, and
he sent them word that there were
plenty of 'daubers' in their own
place without calling upon those of
Antwerp.-Harper's Young People.

AT ssr OF suis.

Three rays of light ehot upward from the west.
Three golden rays, which lit the land and sea,
And lost themselves above in mystery.
The day had been dey of mist and rain.
The wind had Aol,jaI In piiifai unrest;
And like heart within weary breast.
The sea had tirobled and Nature seemed to
weep;
When suddenly these rays lii the plain
And bathed t!ie sea and soothed the sense OF
pain,
Lighting the dull gray skies with wondrous
light
As golden ~ the hoard which mixers keep.
From point to point saw the warm life leap,
Until, the whole world lii. the single thought
Was that of I eiev.
'he world was not less brigh
With the oncTnnlsuf the gentle night
Fer the three oeacons Of the unseen sun
Within all icarls work of gladness wrough;
II was the tri'.mph of a fight long fought
With misei. AID t..uOiu and sad despair,
And light had conGrcfed all as day was done.
And heart az sailed by Doubt were still unwon
For these three rays OF glory were to me
The answer to the often whispered prayer
One Faith, one Hope. the other Love most fair
The rays OF God which light all misery.

AN EARTHQUAKE.

It was at Havre during the height
Of the season; the low tide signal

that one always sees there at the
bathing hour had ranged themselves
along the edge of the little wooden
walk from the cluster Of bathhouses
to the waters edge to see the fair
bathers trip by.
had seen it all hundred times
at least and knew the scene by heart.
The fat women satiated me, the thin
ones repelled me, the sands of this
pebbly beach were never intended to
be sat on comfortably, and was
about to retreat to the shaded corri-
dors of Frascati's well known hostel
ry when NJ. le Quai, tall, robust,
well preserved compatriot, whom
had first met at the table d'hote a
week ago, approached and took a
seat beside me. He was alone and
naturally | remarked, scanning the
crowd of heads bobbing about on
the waves before us:
Madame, / presume, is in the
bath, monsieurq"
Yes" replied he, pointing her out
to me; behold herl"
She was standing erect now, the
waves reaching only to small
rounded waist, leaving to view a
graceful bust and charming head
a beautiful head, should have said
rich black hair, soft dark eyes,
red lips and transparent skin--in
short, an ideal and piquant brunette,
SO pretty that l could not help tell
ing the husband the exceeding
warmth of my admiration.
But, said /, ''she surely cannot
be French, monsieur; she looks too
much like Spanish woman"
mo" he answered, ''she is neither
the one nor the other" and then,
without further preamble or hesitar
ton he began and told me the fol
lowing story:
