A Good Drill.

Forty-tive,members of the Bel
KNAPP rifles stood in line for the
plume drill last night, and all
were determined to defeat Scion
McAdOo, for the first medal, as
that gentleman has carried off the
honors for the past six months.
The drill lasted fully one hour and
forty-fye minutes, when Mr.. Nc
AdOO was declared the winner, and
the second best man was y. O.
Green, Jr., a brother of Captain
Bob Green. A dance followed, and
the large number of ladies and
gentlemen in attendance spent a
delightful hour.
The election of officers did not
occur last night, as it was discov-
cred in the charter that an election
could not be held in the presence
of non-members of the company.
AS a consequence the election was
postponed until Wednesday night.

Archie Boyd IN the Country Squire

Archie Boyd IN the Country Squire"
The return of Archie Boyd to
this city will be hailed with gen.
uine pleasure by his hosts of adj
mirers, and when he appears at the
Grand Friday and Saturday as Eb-
eneezer Tobias in "The Country
Squire" he will, without doubt, be
enthusiastically received. The play
of "The Country Squire" is a
blending of city and country life
that is pleasing to witness and
hear, 1t suggests new mown hay
and cider just hard enough, togeth-
er with the hustle and hustle of
city life, and his many admirers
will, without doubt, give him a
warm reception in his new play,
which has proved as popular as
"Old Homestead" and in which he
is duplicating his former success,
having in his new play character
which Just fits him.

Southern Pacific, will put up an

feet wide. The park at Schulen-
burg is said to be the finest Of any
along the road.

Illness.

sitiOn to accept the position Of

ton, East and West Texas at Hous-
ton.

clerk in the Sunset freight house,
who has been laid up with the grip,
returned to his post OF duty yester-

General Vallejo and Fremont.

When the destiny of the province of
California hung in the balance, and Eng
land and R STA, as well as the United
States, eagerly held out hands for the
prize, General Vallejo unhesitatingly
gave his adherence to the stars and
stripes. Fremont doubted and impris-
oned him, b. soon set him free.
One day during that imprisonment a
young American officer, doubtless a spy
sent by Fremont, rode up to the family
residence in Sonoma, and offering to
Mrs. Vallejo an English and an Ameri-
a flag asked in Spanish, Sonora,
which of these do you PREFER
The lady looked at him a moment as
il to read his purpose; then clasping the
American flag to her bosom she kissed
it's folds and said: ''This is the flag my
husband has taught mt to love. 1t il
