They Did Well.

The Pythian Sisters have done much to
pOpuIarze their order, and to render as
SiSiance to mothers, wives, sisters and
lady friends Of visiting Knights of
PythiaS during their visits here. OF
course, the representatives of the Grand
Lodge and members of the Uniform Rank
were much engaged in the lodge or in the
encampment, and their ladies, instead of
being cooped up in their rooms, could be
left and socially entertained by the Sis
tiers. This innovation has been much APP
preciated by the lady visitors.
In addition to this the secretary has
initiated several visitors as members,
obligated" several other Sisters and
has also obligated several Knights.
The Sisters work has been good and
useful and merits the appreciation, not
only of the visitors but of the local
Knights, to whom they have rendered
valuable assistance in the entertainment
of visitors

FREIGHT TRAINS WRECKED.
A Collision at the Crossing of the
Sunset and the I. & G. N.

A Collision at the Crossing of the
Sunset and the I. & G. N.
Yesterday morning two freight
trains, one of them Southern Pa
cific and the other one of the Inter-
national railway, collided at the
crossing of those two roads in the
southwestern suburbs of the city.
Both trains were wrecked but for
tunately no one was seriously hurt.
The pilot of the International en-
CINE was torn off and the engine it.
self was disabled and derailed,
while several cars of the Southern
Pacific train, We're knocked off the
track and ditched.
The engineer, Edward AyreS, and
the fireman, cred" English, of the
International, jumped before their
their engine struck and were only
slightly bruised. The fireman of
the Sunset engine, Will Brendcll,
also jumped and escaped serious
injury, but bruised himself con-
siderably. The Southern Pacific
engineer stuck to his post and was
not hurt.
1t took several hours to clear
away the wreck Of the two trains
but fortunately none of the passen-
ger trains were delayed by it.
The accident was due to the fact
that the engineers # both trains
failed to come to stand still be-
fore going over the crossing, as is
required by the state law, and it is
probable that the authorities will
investigate the matter.

NEAR LAMAR.
ARKANSAS COUNTY, Texas, !
April -, 1898. !

April -, 1879.
To the San Antonio LIGHT:
This is peculiar season, so say
the farmers along the coast. 1t is
dryer than ever before known at
this season, and unless rain comes
soon the crops will be very short.
The corn is still growing, where it
is cultivated clean, but the cotton
is in bad fix. The Irish potato crop
and the Oat crop will be very short.
In ROckport they are looking
forward for manufacturing enter
prises, a good thing for RockpOrt;
it needs some stimulant, for it is
rather dull there at present.
The good people of Refugio eX-
pect their railroad to be built this
year from Victoria. This will help
them forward in the march of i'm
prOvement, and could the adjacent
lands be purchased by farmers,
which are now enclosed to their
very doors for big pasture, they
would thrive beyond what they
now dream of.
1t is cool here, with no prospect
for rain. L.

DECORATION DAY IN KINGwooD.

day was a beautiful enc and the
crowd was far larger than expected,
there being at least 700 people here
from out of town. Over GOO were

to come in early and flowers were
seen on all hand. The procession
formed at the Court House under
the auspices of the G.. A. r., and
headed by martial band, with
James Allen Freeland, as fifer, and
Thomas a. Turner, base drummer,
and Willis S. Taylor, tenor drum

READING THEM OUT.

One by one the Journal reads Re-
publicans out of the party who fail
to vote as the Journal dictates.
The latest to wake mp and find
himself read out of the party is
Committeeman Freeland, of Port
land District. So far as the ARGUS
understands it, Mr.. Freelapd's
crime is, that the Journal suspi-
cions him of voting for Mr.. Peter
Il. Smith instead OF Mr.. Fortney.
II the Journal keeps on reading

NOW AND THEN.

When the Journal was monarch
Of the Republican party Of Prestor
county and would dcvour any man
who put salt on it's tail, it used to
indulge in the pleasant pastime OF
calling all the Republicans who
differed with it or disputed its au.
thority boilers and "kickers." This
was a cheerful and cxhilarating
sight for the friends OF the Journal,
and it warmed and inspired it on
one occasion to an outburst OF
"BOlters and kickers hereafter will
take back seats-seats away back -
Probably many of the men who
were condemned and ostracised will
recall the edict as it went forth to
all four corners Of the county. But
history AYERS that the CHECKERS"
refused to take "back seats" while
the Journal and its friends sat down
to the mahogany table to celebrate
the event by winning and dining.
1t is recorded that the kickers kept
crowding up around the table, and
having in mind that "necessity
knows no law and ''self-preserva-
ton is the first law of nature"
they crowded close enough to get
one piece of "pie," in defiance of
the motto which hung OH the Jour
nal wall-'"Touch not, tasto not,
handle not"
The kickers having once tasted
"pie" became very hungry, car
dinal principle of Republicanism.
Closer they crowded around the
mahogany table grabbing for the
"pie," which continued from year
to year until the crowd grew so
large that they showed Boss Dawson
and his followers from the mahog-
any table and compelled them ''to
take back seats-seats away back"
The fight for the supremacy is
bit mournful for the Bosses and
resembles the midnight hour of the
graveyard when it yawns to give
up its dead

A MonongsIfa County Farmer Who
Don't Read the Papers Gets
Badly Left.

MoRGANTowS, WA, May Rs
John Q. Sadler has always been
considered close and careful busi-
ness man and has been successful in
amassing considerable wealth, in
fact, Monongalia county bad few
shrewder men. Yesterday, however.
this sterling character Of pcrsonified
shrewdness was checkmated by q
character of genuine sickness.
Mr.. Sadler lives about SIX miles
from this place near the Pennsyl-
vania line, and not far from the
Baltimore and Ohio extension, now
building.
A short time ago man about 30
years Of age, but sixty in experience,
came into the community.
He went to church and dropped
IS in the collection basket. He
said he had business with the rail-
road, and had come to stay. The
people said he was the kind of
church member they wanted, and
extended very hearty welcome.
He began to pay attentions to
the fair daughter of the house of
Sadler, and the peoples comment
on this overture was that the girl
was going to do we'll.
Later developments show that
she has done well in not having her
attachment sealed by matrimonial
vows.
The slick church member was
busy all this time showing Mr.. Sad
Ter how he could realize Z per cent.
on money invested in the railroad
business. Though the slick citizen
did not show positively any connec-
ton he himself had with any rail-
road, Sadler took stock in the
scheme.
lie agreed to take 81, 900 in it.
The cashier of the Uniontown
Bank, in which Sadler had SIS, ZOO
on deposit, told him not to do it.
The slick, citizen and his insinua-
ting persuasiveness overtopped the
arguments of the bank official.
Yesterday Sadler drew $1,000 out
of the bank and handed it over to
the slick citizen to invest.
This latter parsonage, with his
handsome monetary accompaniment
has gone, and his whereabouts is
information much desired by Sader
1t is clean swlndlc. one of the
largest ever perpctratod in this
section.

NONE ESCAPE.

1t has come to a pretty pass when
such men as Hon. G. NJ. Bishop are
characterized by the journal as be-
ing manipulated by Sheriff Shaw. y
1t was net necessary for Mr.. Bishop
TO deny and scorn the imputation,
for those who know Mr.. Bishop
pronounced it as a falsehood and
malicious when they read it. But
none escapes the Journal wrath
who has an opinion Of their own
and dare maintain it. The verdict
Of the people is, that BossIsM MUST

NOT THAT KIND.

"Why, we thought you were muz-
zled," exclaims our sprightly con-
temporary, the Press. whose mind
is little warped from reading Re.
publican papers for the past four
years and cannot understand WHY
the Democratic press is licensed to
tell the truth. But if Bro. Guth-
erie has any misgivings on this
point, he will learn in course of
time that the ARGUS cannot be
muzzled by office, threats or cajolery.
1t proposes to speak the truth as
it understands it. Its columns are
always open 20 a fair and manly
discussion of all questions of public
Importance. 1t recognizes the right
OF every man to act and think for
himself. JUSTICE TO ALL" is its
motto, and when it believes that
justice is not being done to the
members of the Democratic party,
of which it is an humble member,
it will not hesitate to let that fact
be known. 1t believes that the
time has arrived when all the post
offices of this county should be filed
by Democrats, and thus believing it
has politely Informed the "powers
that be- of that fact.
