ANNIE MAY ABBOTT.

This wonderful feminine phenom-
enon, commonly known as the
Georgia Magnet" whose fame has
been heralded abroad throughout
the land by the press both of Eu-
rope and America, makes her initial
appearance before a Texarkana
audience, at Ghio's Opera House,
on Friday evening, the 18th, in
stant,
The following is one Of the many
comments, on this Magnetic wonder,
by the Berlin Press, during her stay
in the "Fatherland:"
Annie Abbott's exhibition was a
mysti6cation. a justification, a
paralyzation, a whirlwind, a thun-
der-storm, a cyclone, an infantry
charge, cavalry charge, artillery
charge, victory, a defeat, rout.
1t was a musculo-mesmeric- ic-acrobat-
ic magnetic-electric spiritualistic r
hypnotic triumph She dumfound-
ed, astounded, confounded us She
is a puzzle, a riddle, a mystery,
How she did it, we do not know,
but she did it. She picked men up
and threw them down; she turned
them over and turned them under.
She out-pushed, out-pulled, held,
lifted, twisted, tumbleda dozen men,
and was not tired a bit, She wal
loped men into Tremendous head
ache and then cured them in two
minutes and sent them away cloth
ed in their right mind She is toe
much for us. Can nobody tell us
what ii is?- [Borsen Courier, Berlin

A Dramatic Success.

''By Wits Outwitted," which will
be seen at Ghios Opera House Sat
urday Feb. II, comes preceded by a
record of success in the principal
eastern cities. The play presents a
bright and pretty plot, woven aud
interviewer in intricate meshes with
deft fingers in a most entertaining
and mastery manner-a manner
that at first qrovokes a smile, then
profound laughter. The scenes are
lain in Spain, and here and there we
see touches of the Spanish charac-
ter. A rich father who desires to
marry his young and handsome
daughter to an old slave trader is
outwitted by his own Vaccinations.
He plans an elopement for his neph-
ew with wealthy but unknown
young lady His CONSERVATION can
well be imagined when he discovers
too late that all his scheming for
his nephew has been aimed at
himself, as his daughter is the girl
in question,
The idea is a very funny one and
compels laughter of itself, The
company is an exceptionally capa-

TEN LARGE CITIES.

The plan of Postmaster General
Bissell, to place the postal service
of the ten largest cities Of the Unit

one of the most radical innovations
ever made in the postal system.

the proposed change,


This scheme will involve no in
creased expenditures, but it is sim
ply designed to secure administra-
tion postoffices without friction and
red tape incidental to the present
system, in which are department
overseers, expenditures and details
of Office management. According
to explanations made yesterday by
Assistant Postmaster General Jones,
it is proposed to deduct from the
estimates for postal service the
amounts which the department
would probably assign to the ten
leading cities, and have congress
make separate appropriation of a
certain sum for each one This
money would be at command ofsev-
eral postmasters to draw upon and
utilize as they saw fit, giving to
them the same power held by the
managers of private business con

LETTER FROM BRIGHT STAR
Editorial Correspondence:

Brlght star, Ark, FeD. 10 1884.
The tax payers keep coming in at
a lively rate, and keep my friend
Dick Towery, the collector very
busy. We, too, are kept busy, but
take time to write to the TExAR-
KANIAN
Bright star is near the center of
Sulphur township, which has long
been known as the Gibraltar of the
Miller county Democracy. In this
township there are 400 voters, near
ly all Democrats. There are lots of
solid and substantial citizens in the
township-as true and good men as
are to be found anywhere. Farm
ers are generally prosperous and
very enterprising, There are now
only three stores and the postoffice
]. R. Patterson, ], H. Patterson
and 7. H. Eubanks are the mer-
chants; Mrs. S, J. Chance is post
mistress,
Bright Star has an interesting
history-more than enough to com
pile into an exciting novel. We are
informed that it was a village over
40 years ago, and for a long time
was known as Stuckeyville. A fun
ny episode is given as to how its
name was changed, in brief as fol
lows; A witty rolicking man by the
name of Dick Jolly, rode into Stuck
eyville some thirty years ago, on
bright starlight night, and being
tipsy and communicative "set 'em
up" to the crowd, announcing that
the place must no longer be known
by its old name, but as bright
Star" Gradually from that day on
it was called Bright Star, until it
finally received that name. Jolly
was afterward killed by one of the
Stuckeys. UP to ten or twelve years
ago whiskey was sold here and was
considered rather tough place,
There were many killings, and fights
and blood-shed was a common oc-
currence. We are told that some
16 or 18 men were killed in and near
Bright Star, while whiskey was dis
pensed here but it was at last vot-
ed out, since which time quiet and
good order have been maintained.
Much might be written about these
killings and embroglios, but time
and space forbids it now,
AS stated in former letter, the
political pot is beginning to boil
down this way, as well as at Texar-
kama Sulphur township thinks
she is entitled to something and
hence will not hesitate to ask for it.
Candidates are "sprouting" fast.
The friends of Mr.. j. A, Bickham
say they will run him for Sheriff,
Other good men are spoken of for
county officers
The collector and his deputy, as
well as the editor are being nicely
entertained here, among this clever
hospitable people, and here we wish
to sincerely thank our good friend,
Mr. F. p Bennett, for courtesies
and assistance rendered us, He has
a nice home and splendid farm.
All of the leading citizens are en-
thusiastic supporters of Hon. Jas.
H. Berry for United States Sena-
tor.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Grave Doubts as to the Ability of the
Senate to Pass It as 1t Is.

The --latest and most reliable cor
respondence from Washington con,
cerning the final action of the Sen.
ate'on the Wilson tariff bill has this
to say;
The bill has passed the House
OF Representatives by a majority SC
decisive that the victory has reioic-
ed the hearts of Democrats every
where, and revived the dropping
spirits of the party.
All eyes are now turned to the
Senate, and the demand is being
very urgently and frequently made,
accompanied by certain signs of inn
patience, that the Senate shall act
promptly and pass the bill without
delay.
It is perfectly natural that the
people who have worked and writ
ten and prayed so long for this hap
py consummation should wish it ac-
compliShed at the earliest possible
moment. So de we all. But it is
well that they should not misunder-
stand the situation and that imper-
ative criticism should not spring
from misconception of the circum.
stances involving the tariff bill,
The conditions In the Senate are
totally unlike those in the House.
There is a Democratic majority of
seventy in the House, which assured
the passage of any tariff bill the
ways and means committee might
report. In the Senate the Demo-
cratic majority is but five. Seven
teen Democrats voted against the
bill in the House, yet the measure
passed by very large majority. If
the Democrats lose these votes in
the Senate they can not pass the
bill. Hence it becomes absolutely
necessary that the finance commit
tee be able to report to the Senate,
at the conclusion of its labors, a
measure for which every Democrat
ic vote in that body will certainly
be cast.
The correspondent then goes on
to enumerate some of the difficult
ties alluded to, citing among others
the fact that the two Senators
from Louisiana will, in all probabil-
ity, vote against the bill, as the
members of the lower house from
that state have already done, be-
cause it proposed to repeal the su-
gar bounty without re-enacting a
compensating tariff on sugar.
1t is said that Senators from Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Maryland, AL
ALBANIA and other coal-producing
states insist on some tariff on coal,
which the Wilson bill proposes to
place on the free list. They quote
the Democratic platformin favor of
a tariff for revenue, and are able to
show that the government derives
a revenue of about 81, 100000 year
from the present duty of 70 cents a
ton on COAL and that this would
perhaps be increased to 81, 600, 600 a
year if the duty we're reduced to 90
cents a ton,
In spite of all these difficulties,
however, the hope yet remains that
all elements of the Democratic par
ty in the Senate will become recon-
ciled to the measure and unite in
casting solid Democratic vote
therefor without any radical change
in the the existing features of the
bill or mutilation of the present
schedules thereof.

CAUGHT.
A Merry Deputy Sheriff On
The Trail of a Cattle
Thief.
CAUGHT BY A RUSE
And Landed in a Yavapai Jail.
A Four days Journeying on
The Desert.
CAUGHT BY A RUSE

After trip of about 500 miles over
mountains and deserts, Deputy Sher-
iff Ruffner returned last evening with
Lark Pierce and lodged him in Jail.
The particulars of the chase and cap
ture are as follows: Thirteen years ago
Rutiuer left Prescott for Congress with
horse and pack animal, having war
rant for Pierre charging INN with cat
tie stealing. Pierce had been engaged
in the butcher business at Congress.
When Ruffner arrived at that camp he
found that Pierce had been gone eight
days, and the deputy bad almost des-
yaired of finding out which way he
went, when the Greek Hijolly, the an
cent camel driver Il Arizona told him
he saw a man with a shot gun, six shoot
er, saddle horse and pack animal in the
direction OF the Colorado river, and
thither the deputy struck out; went to
Mitchell's landing down Bill Williams
Fork to the Colorado river and to the
Chimahueva Indian reservation; then
up the river to within fifteen miles OF
Needles, at which point terrific sand
storm arose and obliterated all tracks.
The deputy then went up to the rail-
road badge and ascertained that Pierce
hao not crossed the river; and knowing
there was but one other avenue OF es-
cape, and that was into the Needles
mountains, he secured the services Of
Chimahueve Iudian guide and started
for the mountains, not great distance
apart, and from force of surroundings
Pierce was bound to be at one of these
springs. When Ruffner reached the
first spring be found that Pierce had
camped there several days, but had left
owing to the spring, which was a very
mali one, going dry. On he went in
search OF the next spring. and saw
Pierce's carp IN the distance as he ap-
preached I. He dismounted, threw his
stirrups and feathers over the horn of
mis- saddle and placed his coat over same
to give bis horse the appearance OF be-
ing packed, while be walked behind or
alongside and drove the horse. Pierce
Dad just finished his breakfast, and
was slttingsdown. Ruffner was within
thirty feet of him before Pierce saw
him. When he did, he sprang to his
feet, but the deputy had him covered"
n an instant, and Pierce promptly sur
rendered. The deputy disarmed and
started for Prescott with his prisoner,
with whom be slept alone for five nights,
the prisoner bsing handcuffed to him at
night, When going TO bed Ruffner
would put all arms out of reach, also
move all rocks from near his bed,
then handcuffed Pierce TO him and go
to bed. Ruffner says Pierce proved a
most pleasant and agreeable travelling
companion. No better piece OF work
than the above was ever .been done in
this section by one officer, and Deputy
Ruffner deserves much credit for it.
Sheriff Cowry certainty made no mis-
take in material when he appointed
George Ruffner deputy sheriff Of this
county.
