The Griesenbeck Reception.

Miss Bertha Griesenbeck was "at
home" to her friends last evening,
and about two hundred society
people spent a delightful evening.
An orchestra was in attendance
and music was in the air; dancing
was INDUCED in, and jollity reigned
supreme. The house was a gem Of
decorative beauty, and those who
did the work may well congratu-
late themselves, for the beauty Of
the rooms was the talk OF every
body.
Miss Griesenbeck received her
guests in the parlOr, assisted by
her mother and several other Ia
dies. The young hostess looked
very lovely in a gown of white silk
trimmed with point lace, of Eye
ancient times" and Ornamented
with diamonds and pearls. Across
the hall in the sitting room was a
bevy of pretty young ladies who
looked very sweet and added much
to the beauty of the room.
The guests were welcomed in a
good "old timey" faction that
made them feel perfectly at home
and glad they came.
In a little room all decorated
w tn ferns and flowers was a silvC r
punch bowl, in which was some
delicious champagne tOddy. Be-
hind the bowl were seen the
beaming faces of Mrs. Watts and
Miss Hugo who made all their
visitors glad within themselves.
Miss Gresenbeck is to cOngratu-
lated upon giving an entertain
ment that was thoroughly en-
ioyed by every one who attended.

An immense audience greeted DIR. +. S.
Temple, the great magnetic healer, last
night at Turner Hall, in his demOnstra
tiOn of healing the sick by "animal mag
netism" before San Antonio audience.
Some can be cured of various diseases,
and others to witness his marvellous pow
er Of healing the sick, and to see most
remarkable exhibition.
1t seemed that his wonderful fame has
surely preceded him, as long before the
time for opening great number of all
class of people, those in perfect health, as
well as the sick, crippled and rheumatic,
were clamoring for admission, having
the merchant, the millionaire and the ar
tisan, on foot and in carriages-all were
seen hurrying toward this great Mecca of
health.
When the doors we're thrown open in
less. than fifteen minutes every seat was
taken, while hundreds turned homeward
unable to even gain admission.
The wiseSt best educated and most en-
lighted people are daily becoming con-
verts to these new principles and methods,
which are supported by such overwhelm-
ing evidences sustained by public and
private demonstrations Of the most re-
markable character; proofs which no
reasoning mi I'D can dispute; realities
which echo and re-echo in the human

presented in the history of man.
Surely DIR. Temple has captured the
hearts Of the people of Texas and his prl-

will no doubt occupy all his time during
his weeks visit to San Antonio. He not
only treats the blind, lame and crippled,
but all diseases quickly yield to this
strange power. Catarrah, incipient con-

CHARGED WITH swINDLINa
H. B. ChamberLn Arrested in New
York and Out on Bond.


Humphrey B. Chamberlin,
president of the Chamberlin In
vestment company, of Denver,
Col, which has a branch office in
San Antonio and other cities in
Texas, was arrested in New York
City on Monday, January 30,
charged with swindling Joseph E.
Paisley, wealthy shoe dealer of
New York, out of $5,173. Mr..
Chamberl in had been to Europe
and returned on Saturday, January
y. He was arrested on the follow
ing Monday, but was released on
bond in the sum Of $1,000.
In his complaint Palsy tells in
detail about the transactions which
led up to Camberlin's arrest. Pals
lev says that in 1891 he met Chas.
Whiting, solicitor employed in
the New York office of the Cham
berlin Investment company. Whit
ing, he says, asked him to pur-
chase shares in the Fort Worth
Park Palace Land company, which
was DGluS HOdb6l ny UuS SlldhlDCl-
lin company at $50 a share. a
circular issued by the Chamberlin
Investment company was handed
to Paisley and contained de-
scription of the Fort Worth stock
and Paisley took 100 shares, to be
paid for in installments.
When Paisley made his last pay
ment he noticed there was no re-
turn for his money and became
suspicious. He began investiga-
ton and shortly after realized that
he had been duped. He was in
formed that the company did not
own the land he was paying for,
but that the land was the property
of two sitizens of Fort Worth. He
then brought suit and swore out
an affidavit for the arrest of Cham.
berlin.
THE above allegations are taken
from an account of Chamberlin's
arrest, which appeared in a New
York paper

Interpretations have not only csmped

party the present year. Victory, how

The Official Canvass,

The csnvassing OF the state election
returns has been delayed by the failure
Of a few county clerks to send in their
returns az instructed by the secretary
OF state, and by the errors Of other
county clerks. In cases where there
were discrepancies In the clerks state
ments, the secretary Of state reported
the errors back and called for q cor.
fected statement, instead of making COR
rsctions himself or leaving the matter
for the board to straighten out, as has
been done heretofore.
1t appears that in some cases the
county trustees obeyed the instructions
Of Chairman Island and made an sex
sggerstiOn" in favor Of the republican
candidates, for fear the election would
be- close. For example, in Phillips
county, errors were made in the count
on Ave Offices Of the state ticket, that is,
in five cases the republican candidate was
credited with more votes than were cast
for i'm and the Populist was given less
than were cast Tor him. Strange that
all these errors should have been made
in favor of one side. So it was done in
many republican counties, but seeing
that the result would be safely republi-
can, the county clerks in most cases
made the necessary corrections before
reporting to the secretary Of state.
The "exsggeration" in Phillips county
had increased the average republican
mAjority from % to over 100.

Sorghum,

Joseph Daniels, Of Histtvills, Kas.,
claims to have made SS4.75 in one year,
from the sorghum crop of q plat OF
ground containing six square rods less
than an acre. The story is told in the
Capital:
"Hs stripped the leaves from the cane
and tied il in bundles for feed, obtaining
one ton. He topped the stalks and haul
ing them to q common syrup mill near
by and hired it made into syrnp, obtain
ing 1873 gallons; he threshed the seed, OBJ
tanning forty four bushels. The product
Of that plat OF ground thus footed up az
follows: One ton OF fodder. S6; 1873 gal
Ions of syrup at 25 cents, $45 IS; forty
four bushels OF seed at so cents, S22;
total $73 IS.
at will be seen that the estimated
value Of the items are low with the ex.
csption cf the ton Of fodder or blades.
The syrup is worth from 80 to 40 cents
per gallon, and he expects to realizs not
less than 75 cents per bushsl for his cane
seed. The latter item alone would in
crease the total to s8475."

About Alfalfa.
speOtfully

The report of the Kansas department
OF agriculture for November, just issued,
is handbook Of 24O pages devoted to
alfalfa, its history, characteristics, culti-
walton, worth and uses, discussed by the
most scientific observers and practical
growers and users in the twelve alfalfa
producing states and territories Of the
union.
Probably at no previous time in the
history Of the central west, or the re-
gion west Of thN Missouri river and east
ward Of the continental divide, and e.
peciRlly In Kansas and Nebraska, have
the agricultural population taken such
an intense and intelligent interest Ra
now in the question of what crops are
best adapted to their conditions Of 10.
cslity, soil and climate, and the methods
best calculated to give adequate returns
FOR values invested in their production.
One OF those crops upon which the lRrg-
est measure Of new interest has Centered
during the past year or more, in Kansas,
is alfalfa, and the yields and profits real
izsd from it's growth in many counties,
reported by gentlemen Of the highest in
tegrity, Enthusiastically indicate that in
this plant, large area, If not all Of Kan
sas, has un agricultural acquisition Of
tremendous Importance.
The November report, upon which
Secretary Coburn and his clerical force
have been at work for several weeks will
be Of great interest to the agricultural
lists OF the state.
