publie generally had nothing but money at
the close OF the sport yesterday at the Alex

second choice captured the purses, and the
bakers dozen OF pencilers quit big losers on
the dav. The only favorite to disappoint was
Billy Boy in the mile race, his stable backing
him from 8to 1 to 6 to ). He ran well for
seven furlongs and then chucked it, Ponce

ming OF the second half Lyman for, the Busi-

goal. Shortly afterward the Central secured
the ball by a tumble on the part of Business

in Central territory. Time was called with

Lynch1ng at Lancaster.

Hardy Gill went to the house Of James
A. CLARK, in Lancaster County. while
Clark was away. and began to raise a
disturbance. He was ordered to leave
the premises by Mrs CLARK. whereupon
be picked up an audiron and beat her
nearly to death. He then picked up
the baby aud threw it across the house.
It is probable that both mother aud
child will die from the injuries received.
Gill was arrested and placed iu the
Lancaster Jail. On the morning Of the
I'd inst, a large party went to the Jail
aud took Gill away with chem. About
10 o'clock Saturday the body of Gill
was found 10 the road about three miles
from Lancaster, riddled with bullets.
No regrets are heard on any side for che

What is a MugWnmp.

Our contemporary The State, is still
trying to decide what Democrat is.
By way Of diversion, We commend the
Texas Siftings definition Of a Mugwump.
The Mugwunp is very useful insti-
tuition. He hold the balauce of power,
and consequently. both parties are
obliged to rake him into consideration
when it comes to nominating candidates.
If the Republicans nominate an OBJ
jectionable candidate the Magwump
takes seat on the other end Of the poll
tical see-saw, and the Objectionable can
didate is hurled into the air as if pro-
PEELED by the bind leg Of mule. The
bounced candidate rarely survives the
fall be gets but if he does he is too
badly crippled to take any part in sub
sequeut political proceedings. If a
similar accident happens to the Demo
cratic candidate Mr.. Mug sits over on
the Republican end, and the misguided
Democracy goes on an excursion to the
stars.
The Magwump vas created for the
purpose Of putting both parties on their
good behavior, and he does too. If
it we're nots.for the Mugwump the
couotry would be filled with the iamen-
tations of bounced officials. As it is not
even all the offensive partisaus are
removed. In order to maintain bis
present supremacy the Mugwump should
continue 70 be Independent Of both
parties. he should be like man on the
CAR Who rang the bell at both ends

She was removed to her home and is

her burial, but that she was unable
to give any sign until the fear of burial

Useless Extravaganza.

During the past week. and for some
weeks previous, ehere have come to
this Office, as to other newspaper
Offices, numerous invitations to col
lege and school commeocements.
These invitations are elegantly printed
and engraved, aud from the stand.
point of good taste are above criti-
cism.
But there is one feature Of them
that strikes us as proper for comment
their expensiveness. 10 these hard
times when it is at great sacrifices that
most people can give their children a
college education every thing that
tends toward extravaganza should be
discouraged. '''s
From what we know Of fthe printing
business, ,aad from tscts that have
Isons 10 onr kno ovledg ge,. We feel sure
|shat the greater portion these ele-
CANT invitations that we have been
receising must have cost very nearly
TIE sum Of one hundred dollars for
five or six hundred-somewhere from
twelve and half to twenty cents
each.
This makes pretty heavy expense
to a student who wants to send many
to friends. Suppose he sends fifty
and almost any student. especially if
be is of the graduating class. would
like to send as many as 6fty-it would
cost him from six to ten dollars
There seems to be q rivalry among
the several colleges in this matter OF
inyitations-each vieiagz with the
Other % seeswhich can get out the
bandsomest invitations. 1t would be
decidedly better if they would turn
their rivalry into more profitable and
less expensive channels
AS long as some colleges indulge in
the costly invitations, all will, whether
their students are able to stand the
expense or not. There should, there.
