1t takes very little to satisfy the

The Express says that Judge
Noonan's "long services on the
bench have in a large measure in
capacitated His Honor for the or
binary affairs of life." This libel
will be rebuked by thousands Of
voters at the polls in November.
Judge MakemsOn is a most eX-
cellent gentleman, although sus-
pected of having a leaning in the
direction Of populistism and pro-
hibition. The Judge should never
have accepted nomination that
went begging from San Antonio to
Fort Worth. The white Repub-
licans and a large number of COL
ored Republicans will not vote for
Makemson but will vote for
SchmitZ.
Gus Houston, the Express candi-
date for Congress, has more legs
than head-like the Express he
straddles the Democratic platform
and the Republican protection
plank.
Mr.. Easton, editor Of the Globe,
would readily pass for white

the Quincy State Executive commit
tee. Easton has been credited with
furnishing the brains for Quincy;
he is certainly superior man to
Grant, the man Quincy put in as
chairman.
Instead of putting negro on the
Quincy ticket for school superin-
tendent, Quincy should have been
put at the head of the ticket, and
no doubt could have been if he de-
sired it, but he preferred to be
"boss."
Gus Houston went about the
country few years ago telling the
people that Judge Noonan was a
very poor judge. The people
wouldn't believe him and elected
the Judge over him. Now the EX-
press is trying the very same tao
ties; they are telling the people
that the Judge is very poor poll
tician and a man OF no ability
whatever. You will hear the
answer at the polls.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Fred. J.
WindoIph, druggist of No. 564
State street, Brooklyn, this morn
ing caused the capture Of thief
in a peculiar manner. He was
asleep in the rear of his drug store
at l 80 this morning, when he was
suddenly awakened by hearing
noise In the front of the store. He
arose quietly and saw two men
outside the store. One was giving
the other diff" to get inside the
store by climbing through the fam
light. The first man entered and
the second one followed soon after.
Mr.. Windolph had no weapon
with which to defend himself, and
while watching the men a novel
idea entered his mind. He went
quietly to the prescription counter
and took down a bottle Of concen-
trated ammonia and filled a glass
! full of it. Then he waited. In a
few moments the burglars came to
| the rear of the store where he was
standing. One of them advanced a
few feet, when Mr.. Windolph threw
| the ammonia full in his face. The
man staggered and inquired what
| hit him. Neither burglar saw the
| druggist, and the man who had
been struck fell unconscious to the
floor. Meantime Mr.. WindOlph had
quickly prepared another dose.
| l., = l. Of nf a y
but as he did so the man turned
and it struck him in the neck.
He smelled it, and with a
veil ran for the door. 1t was
closed and locked and without the
least hesitation, he jumped
through the plate glass window OF
the door. The other robber had
recovered consciousness and stag.
gered to the door and also jumped
through the hole in the gil ass
made by his companion. He seem
ed to be still dazed and ran blind
iy, first in one direction and then
retracting his steps. A policeman
heard the crash of the glass, anC
coming up just as tho second rob
Der was making his escape, selzec
him. He made no resistance. Hi
companion escaped. At the station
> house he gave his name as JOSEPH
> Phillips, 10 years old, of No q
Madison street. He pleaded
> guilty in the Butler Street cour
and was held for the grand jury

was scarcely recognizable and hi

Repairing Washouts on the
Southern Pacific.
The Southern Pacific will not be
able to run trains west of here I'M
til Sunday noon.
\ convict train, consisting of
sixty men and pile driver, left
for the scene OF the washOut this
morning. There are now three
work trains busy on this side Of
the washouts, or about four hun
dred men at work repairing the
washouts. General Superinten-
dent Van Week is at work on this
side and superintendent Forbes on
the west side.
Railroad men, who have just
come in from the west, say that
the waters are going down and
that large numbers Of dead cattle
can be seen floating down.
All other trains were on time
this morning and no washouts re-
! ported.
Railroad men, however, feal
that il these heavy rains continue
the other roads will also suffer.

The Populists will poll less
than 5000 votes, but if added to
Noonan's vote will give him all
easy majority of ten to fifteen
thousand in the district. If full
vote is cast in the district the to.
tai vote will reach 10000, which
would make Noonan chances even
better.
The Harrison vote, and the Ter
rell vote is a poor basis to esti-
mate on, as it is safe to assert that
Noonan will receive more votes
than the vote of Harrison and
Terrell combined.
The Houston vote in some of
the outside counties may be esti'
mated little low, but in BeXar
county he will run well if he gets
1900 votes.

good enough to herald towns advant-

with the town. The newspaper is. TO a
very great extent. what the community
makes IL; and by reason Of its represent

properly supported, not particularly by
advertising patronage, but in a hundred
ways Of kindness and Of service which
costs nothing, is always the best posi-
Die medium for advertising its locality,
because IL will be bright and newsy, and
will be read by intending settlers and
capitalists as a truer index to the towns

that he cant help il. When he gets a

again puts his nose to the grindstone to
get out of dept. When he thinks he

II your neighbor is caught doing some

you say the paper is afraid to show him

that the sheet should not be patronized;

the paper should not mention 1t, and If
