had been stolen. The mounted

He Skipped Out.

A banjo player and teacher
came to San Antonio from Dallas
several months ago, and made the
acquaintance OF a number of the
best people in the city. He organic
ed a large class, and collected for
his instructions in advance. He is

Another Confidence Game Worked
On a News Agent.

Another Confidence Game Worked
On News Agent.
The city detectives have been
notified of another confidence game
that is being played in a gambling
resort across the San Pedro, and
are at work endeavoring to ascer-
tain who is the conductor of the
scheme.
Sunday night Harry Hoffman, a
news agent, entered this place,
having on his person about $40.
He was received with politeness
by the game keepers and "cappers"
and soon was induced to play,
what is termed among the second
rate sports, SPINDLE" Harry
watched the workings of Spindle"
for short time, and thinking
he could go out with double the
amount Of cash that he had when
he entered, placed several dollars
on the winning card. He won a
few dollars and soon began to lose.
In the course of a half hour he had
lost 1874, and was compelled to
leave the place with only Sc.
Hoffman, learned that it was a
game of "work," not chance, and
reported it to the detectives. This
particular case is now being inves-
tigated by the grand jury, and if
sufficient evidence is obtained, the
owners of the game will be prose-
cuted.

PERSONAL.

Augustus II. Sutherland, member of the
10th Me-, was wounded in the battle of Gull
pepper Courthouse, in 1863, by bullet passing
into the back of his head. There was no time
to have it dressed properly, and he tied up the
wound with a piece of flannel. Later in the
day he was taken prisoner by the rebels and
lodged in Libby Prison. There and at other
prisons he staid during period of 149 days,
was released and again went to the front, and
served in the old First Corps, afterward the
Fifth. All that time he suffered much from
the wound in his head, and from then until
now has been a sufferer. Comrade Sutherland
now resides in Lynn. Mass, and for three years
he has been doctored for a supposed cancer in
the back of his neck. Not less than two years
ago he was nearly stone blind from the effects
of the bullet. But last week curious thing
happened. He was taken with severe cough
ing-spell, and, when he recovered found he had
coughe up the bullet which had wounded
him so many years ago. He Immediately visit
ed the office of a local surgeon who informed
him that, without doubt, the cancer symp.
toms were all on account of the bullet; and
now he thinks he will soon regain his health.

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. c.
Frice, only 80 Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is great Ma
tional agricultural paper. 1t circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat Of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
it has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or in
any of the Departments of the Government.
This will be OF particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be o
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy of protecting farm products.
The AMERICAN FARMER is ON the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program of placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denounces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
in favor of other Interests. Every one who
favors justice and right to farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the.wooband farming products
schedules. 15n b.
The paper is a large eight-page auarto
printed in large type ON fine white paper
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers. ry9

LEWIS AND CLARKE.
DR.. CoueS'S Edition Of the Most Famous
Book Of american Travel.

By long odds the most important work on
American exploration is the journal of Lewis
and Clarke, who crossed the Rocky Mount
aims aud reached the Pacific Ocean in 1904
to 1906. The Louisiana Purchase during
the Administration of President Jefferson
made it of the greatest importance to carry
the American flag to the northwest coast, to
head off efforts being made by the British
to secure possession of all this region; and
Mr. Jefferson's private secretary, Merri-
weather Lewis, and Capt William Clarke,
brother of the famous Revolutionary Cen
eral, George Rogers Clarke, were placed in
command of the enterprise, which they sue
cessfully carried out. Their discoveries in
geography and natural history electrified
the civilized world. They made the first
map of the Missouri River, the Yellowstone,
and the Columbia, as well as the passes of
the Rocky Mountains now so well known
to the public as railroad highways. They
first described the grizzly bear, the big horn
sheep, the Rocky Mountain goat, the mule
deer, and score or more of before unknown
birds, beasts, and fishes.
The daily narrative of their struggles,
dangers and adventures is one of the most
enchanting stories in the history of human
effort. DR.. Elliott Coues, the popular writer

narrative of the expedition, having all the
original manuscript journals of Lewis and
Clarke placed in his hands for the purpose.
A vast mass of new matter, never before
printed, has been added, with complete
index and maps and plates.
The work is on large paper, linen bind

The edition was limited to but 1000
copies, and although only few weeks from

lous spectacle presented to the country as
the House of Representatives has ex-
hibited for the past few weeks. No
sensible man has ever doubted that it
was right and proper to count every
member present to make a quorum.
Certainly, if the House had the right to
arrest member and bring him into the
House, it could count him after he was
there. We believe that it can go much
further, and compel him to vote, as the
English House does. To count quorum
has become legislative necessity. But
to do this was bitter medicine to the
majority and to Speaker Crisp, and they
have been making as many wry faces and
doing as much whimpering over it as a
parcel of little boys summoned to doses
of molasses and sulphur. The country
has looked on with humorous contempt.
