Mr.. Robert Wright has return
ed from an extended visit to WASH
ington, and other eastern cities.
A delightful time was had with
one exception. Ask Rob.
There has been formed by the
musical talent of this city, a society
styled The Logan Musical Union.
Its object is to take up the study
of Operas and Oratorios for the
winter season. This union should
be upheld by the many music low
ing people of our town. We are
informed that the society will have
limited number of honorary
members.

The Natural Gas.

The Natural Gns company, the
authenticity of which has so long
doubted by few, are certainly
showing their intentions now by
laying their pipes through our
city. They filed their bond few
weeks ago with the Mayor and
Clerk, which bond is given accord
ing to the contract for 100000 be-
fore our streets or alleys are en- ter
ed, that the Company shall place
said streets and alleys in as good
condition as they were found. The
bond given il signed by Il number
Of wealthy men of Pittsburg and
Ohio, which represent over 9
quarter million of dollars. Many
business men and private families
have already engaged the services
OF this Company.
| The only objection we have
heard raised, and it is probably Ia
late to raise it now, is that the dig.
ing up of main street will occasion
a rump or ditch in the street all
win er, and the same way with the
pavements. Where ever the gas
is connected with the store rooms
it will necessitate raising of the
pavements, thus making rumE
for while and later a ditch. The
question WAS raised whether or not
1t would not be as convenient and
saving to run the mains down the
alleys instead of the streets; bul
measurements show that it would
take almost twice as much small
pipe to cOn'lact from the mains t(
the rooms than from the streets.
There would he no saving on the
mains, for 1t would take three oi
them If the routes were In the nj
leys.
The Manager, Mr.. Patty, was
waited on by DEMOCRAT man,
the above objections were put h
fore him, with the above explanm
ti0n. He said they had given ,
bond Of 100000 for the strict re
turning Of the streets as they f0unt
them, and meant to stand to th'
contract.
The Bishop room IL elegantly fit
ted up for an Office, and the selec
ti0n of M. Harrington for Secre
tary was Il very wise one on th'
part Of the management.
Many OF our lxb0rs, who hav'
been without work for weeks, ar,
now assisting In digging th'
trenches for the gas pipes. Tha
means more money In circulation
among US. The Council are wis
in letting any legitimate enter
prise into our town.

SMOOTH WALTER.
He Catches the Boys Steal
ing Water Melons.

j. Rochester & Sons has for some
time past, been receiving and sell.
ing water melons. They stored
them in the ware house, and had
no suspicion that any thing was
wrong until they noticed that the
large pile was rapidly diminish.
ing, so rapidly that very few
melons were left. Instead of load
ing one with poison or other harm
full or destructive stuff, they were
not so cruel as that. Walter
Rochester, the genial clerk, at last
devised scheme that worked,
and it worked fine as silk. He
pierced melon, run a string
through it and tied tin can to the
end. In other words he tin-caned
the melon, like cruel boy to a
dog; knowing that when the melon
run away, the can would raise the
neighbors. About 7 o'clock in the
evening when Mayor Bowen hap
pened in the store, he was put on
to the scheme, and Immediately
prepared himself for race. They
all kept their ears pealed, and in
a few minutes their anxiety was
releaved. They heard the old Mr..
Oyster Can pounding the brick
pavement vigorously, and away
went the "hounds" after the "fox."
| Walter and Fred Rochester and
Mayor Bowen were the pursuers
and d hot chase was begun. Down
the alley they went past Watkins
stable, can a rattling and boys a
humping. Soon the melon got
heavy and it dropped, but the boys
sailed on; now they separated and
the pursuers followed suit. Fred
and Walter go up cross alley
after one, while the Mayor keeps
straight ahead after the other. Fred
is fat, so he weakened,while Walter
was not much of q runner so they
lost their game, but was close en-
ough to him TO see who he was wher
he CHANGED to pass an electric
light. But when you buck W
against Mayor Bowen for race
you must needs be a sprinter. Th'
: Mayor had spent a few days will
the boys during preparatory train
5 ing for Field Day, and the ordi
nary watermelon theft wasn't i,
q it with him. About two-squares o
a a race and it was all over. Th'
boy darted into an open coal shed
exhausted, and the Mayor latte
, him, just getting warmed up. Th'
boy struggled, but he was dea'
. bird.
G The Mayor yanked him out an,
q started to the calaboose with him
Arriving at Rochester's store, tn
: older members of the firm begge,
Ienience from the Mayor for tn
boy, and the case resulted In sever
repremand and q settlement 70
the theft. The Mayors intention
was to lock the boys up over night
The next day the other boy wa
secured and went through the or
deal.
And now who do you think tn
boys were? They were two rea
large boys that are about to bloom
J, into the realms ofthe Logan Higl
school. We won't he SO cruel as t,
give there names awav as they be
long to prominent families here.
: These boys were very smootl
y and swift hut Walter Rocheste
was a little smoother and Mayo
Bowen little swifter. One thini
sure they won't steal any NOR
: water-mel0ns.

The era of deep water construc-
tions on the Gulf coast OF Texas
seems to be ushered in. That work
at the mouth of the BraZos is no
sooner secure than the announce
ment is made that the contract is
let for the construction of the Pa.
DIRE Island open harbor work. This
latter differs in design from all
the others and will no doubt afford
perfect facilities fer reaching deep
water with railway lines. The
p9rmanency of the work is really
the only thing in question, and
that would seem to depend en-
tirely upon the solidity of the
masonry and it's foundations.
At all events the experiment
is to be tried and its promoters arc
sanguine of results. Should their
expectations not be disappointed
there will be two adequate deep
water harbors on the gulf coast Of
this state, one inside the mouth Of
the Brazos and one off Padre is
land, not to mention the existing
harbor at Galveston to which light
draft ships now find easy entrance
and exit. Texas with these two
ports at which deep sea vessels can
take on and discharge cargo with
out lighterage, will be placed to
take care OF that immense traffic
that will seek it's terminus on these
shores once that Nicaragua Canal
is completed.
