SCATTERING REMARKS.


to draw you into an argument.
San Antonio has the "Dry Rot
on honest, straight, party politics,
A straight forward business man
is never envious or jealous of an
honest competitor.
A little brass tag on collar does
not prevent a vicious dog from
biting.
Some of the aldermen are getting

A stray shot will sometimes acct
dentally hit a guilty fellow square
in the eye.
l.. p. Peck is taking considerable
interest in the Jockey club races,
to commence July 3rd.
If the statutes" relating to the
hanging of horse thieves were ex-
tended to bankers, there would be
fewer bank failures.
The manager of the LIGHT has
never been invited to leave town
yet, and has never been in a town
he could not go back to.
Our retail dry goods stores are
the life of San Antonio. Their en-
terprise and liberality is far ahead
of ali others in San Antonio.
John T. Hambleton will give you
regular summer excursion rates on

ton at all times.
The committee on streets and
railroads think the committee on

The street cars, water works and

for giving away all their rights and
franchises.
The Express and LIGHT are the
only two papers in Southwest Texas
that pay for and publish the Asso-
ciated press report.
It's bad business policy to start

Chimes, Oct. l3th.J
Last Thursday a party of the Bochuana-
land police were patrolling on the south bank
Of the Shashi river, ne.r Maoloutsie, when
they were fired upon by some Matabele. Tbs
police, who were speedily reinforced, return
ell the fire. and the Matabsle retreated. The
affair is regarded az an Indication of the
intention of Lobengula to attack TAFT and the
country under the jurisdiction Of The High
Commissioned of South Africa. The High
COMMISSIONS has therefore decided to defend
Khama's country Major Goold Adams, in
command of the Becluanaland Police, has
been ordered to advance and occupy Monarch
Reef at TAFT, to insure the protection Of the
people there. and has been joined by a Tuli
column, under Commander Raaf. The Cape
Government are convinced that the Ma; abeie
warriors have got beyond Lobengula's con.
troll and are determined to force ON a war
with the white settlers, and are Masking pre-.
parations accordingly. Umshete, Lobengula's
envoy, had no mission except to bring a let
ter to the Queen, which Sir Fl. Loeb has for
warded. directing Umshste to await the
Queens reilly at Palapye.
