What They Found.

To the LIGHT:
On Frio street we traversed the
sewer ditch for some distance. In
quite number Of places the exca-
walton for the sewers had not been
retilled up to the surface, leaving a
hollow. The recent rains had filled
these hollows with water. In each
case we could find a place where
this water escaped by going down.
This raised the question, "where
did 1t go to" From the fact that
the further down the sewer we
went we learned that the volume
Of water in the sewer increased
This led to the conclusion that this
surface water, when it gets down to
the sewer pipe, has no difficulty in
finding breaks where it can get into
the sewer, thus causing the in
crease in the volume Of water
which we observed.
The logical deduction is that
breaks in the sewer pipe are numer,

He tried many so called kidney cures but
without any good result. About year

and found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted to the cure OF all

almost instant relief. One trial will prove

ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY For The LIeHT.
The commanding officers Of posts
have been directed by the secretary
OF war to prepare a list of all con-
victs in confinement on April 80.
These lists shall contain the name,
regiment and company OF each
convict, the number, date and
source of the court martial order
promulgating his sentence, and
the date when each sentence will
expire, including the allowance for
good time.
The Officers club at Fort ASSN
aboine is now in possession OF an
oil painting representing the late
Lieutenant Powhatan H. Clark,
Tenth cavalry, in the act OF rescu-
ing a soldier who was severely
wounded and lay disabled, exposed
to the enemy's fire, and carrying
him to place Of safety.
EIt is one Of the sore spots with
the enlisted man, that the meat he
has to consume is often, very often,
unfit for mastication and diges-
ton except by an iron Jawed man
with the stomach Of an ostrich,
and it is fact that times without
number meat has appeared on the
plates of soldiers which a hungry
Indian would not have anything
to do with. There is no excuse for
not having good edible meat at all
times even if the government &C.
cepts bid of four cents a pound
when itknows very we'll that meat
fit for consumption cannot be
furnished for that sum. The meat
furnished should be up to the con-
tract even If the contractor is
"busted" every month.
The Seventh cavalry will leave
Fort Riley on the 18th for Arizona.
Four army:officers will be placed
on the retired list this month, hav-
ing reached the age Of limit. Brig
adler Casey, Chief Of Engineers,
Major Frederick NJ. Crandall Col.
E. G. Mason, Twelfth infantry, and
Col. d. Bingham, quartermaster
department.
Captain J. NJ. Lee, Ninth infan.
try, is relieved from duty as acting
inspector general OF the depart
ment of the Missouri.
Lieutenant Colonel G. V. Henry,
Fifth cavalry, left here last even
ing on tour Of inspection OF the
Texas military colleges.
During the absence OF General
Schotleld General Ruger will act as
advisory officer to the secretary Of
war.
Troops c, F, G and R, of the First
cavalry, have been selected by Col.
Arnold to accompany his head
quarters to Fort Riley, Kansa.
At horse exercise this morning, a
recruit belonging to H troop Of the
Fifth, made dash through the
brush and it is thought with intent
to desert.
A butcher down town has offered
to furnish meat to the post for the
ensuing year at the rate Of $3.50 a
hundred. How can he do it? These
people should be made to furnish
decent meat, no matter how their
figure is.

The Shoot at Lakavisw.

The Shoot at Lakeview.
Owners OF vehicles found it a
difficult matter to navigate to the
grounds of the San Antonio Gun
club at Lakeview yesterday. Tie
late rains made the roads quite
heavy, and the immense rainfall
caused Lake Elmendorf to overflow
its. banks, partially filling the
trenches and forcing the shooters
to roll up their trousers. Fourteen
enthusiastic cranks faced the traps,
Notwithstanding the difficulty in
reaching the grounds.
The medal score was made at 30
singles and first medal was won by
Piety on q, Epp second on 26, Learn
third on "A.
The beer arrived late, therefore
the unsteady aim OF some Of the
cracks.
Epp is shooting in fine form he
has made five straight winnings
for the second medal. There is a
moral in his shooting: Drink
milk.
Brother Piety, "whose gentle
voice can persuade the hardest
heart, to take ten thousand dol
lar policy on his life" did some
great shooting yesterday.
Learn, "he Of the red, white and
blue fraternity" is astonishing the
natives and has been asked by COM
peting shooters in his class:
What hours he keeps and what he
eats and drinks to steady his
nerves.
France, with his knees extended
east and west, and known for his
lighting changes in humor, was
there and "tried," but that was all.
Peter Shields tried his hand as
an electrician yesterday, but he
didn't succeed any more than draw
ing one shock from the clouds, Ia
Ben jamin Franklin. The failure
to adjust the wires properly, cost
him about four birds.
The uptown boys were Justify
cheered when they arrived with
the average San Antonians delight,
"a keg Of beer and chunk Of ice."
Bookkeeper Prescott proved
yesterday that he is far more pro-
ficient at making out balance
sheet, than he is at setting his
trap competitors an example.
Smith, "the banker" was doing
an axchanpe huSiness Vesterday
He exchanged shot for goose eggs,
and the balance was to his debit.
Brother Davidson took his
chances for the first time on the
grounds yesterday and everything
seemed strange.
Rothwell was not at his best yes
terday, and no doubt his magma
ton led him to believe that look
ing along a gun barrel would cover
as much space as peeping through
a camera.
Veith wore his "yaller" shoes
yesterday, and could find no fault
at not being steady. He was sew
eral times found anchored to the
score, but the cry Of "beer ~ heaved
the anchor every time.
Champion Chabot, the correspon-
dent of the american Field" came
out to set the boys in his class a
pace, but fell several notches in his
own estimation as a pace-maker.
His shells were loaded with baking
powder.

Uncle John has at last consented tC
dine with us. " said Mrs. Feathcrly.
"Ah, that's nice Of the old man, -
said Mr.. Fcatherly. "We'll have thing,
rather fine for him, ehg'
"Well, yes, but not too much So You
don't know Uncle John. II he sees tina,
we're inclined to BE- extravagant, he'll
go away with a very poor opinion OF
us. He'll think to himself that we
ought 10 be saving our money"
"Yes, that so. We must jolly the old
man along. I'd give $10 to have a
tquint at his will. "
Edward, how you talk about Uncle
john Now, what shall we havei"
'Oh, pork and beans and horse rad.
ish, | suppose. IL that doesn't make
him think we're saving, nothing will
And, then, you see, after he's gone
home we can go to the club and have a
duck and bottle Of sauterne, chr"
mo, Edward, that will never do We
can have "A fair dinner, and it need not
be costly"
Lets see, the old gentleman smokes,
doesn't heS I'll get II dozen real per-
fectos. "
'No, no, you mustn't He'd think
you were indulging in extravagant hab.
its. Let him offer You cigar If he
chooses "
But, great Scott, wat kind Of hos
pitality do you call that? Having your
guest furnish his own cigars, and, what
is more, yours toor'
"Well, he'll think it's all right
He'll admire you more If you don't
have even cigarettes
II might buy n box of Pittsburg sto.
gies. They're 25 cents hundred or
some such matter. He'll get a notion
of my saving habits from them that he
will remember for long time. 4"
"No. no. it won't do at all. "
SO the dinner was given-a very sim.
pie affair of fried liver and plain salad
and prunes. No wine, no tobacco And
the pressed glass, the second best china
and the plated ware were put on and d
darned tablecloth. Mr.. Featherly wore
q coat which had never fitted him and
which he never wore except in the Gel.
lar or garret.
Uncle John chatted gayly with them
and was not in the least patronizing,
and after dinner he asked leave to smoke
and pressed cigar on his nephew.
After ho had gone Mr.. Featherly
opened a bottle of beer that was hid in
the refrigerator, got out the remains Of
an Edam cheese and bag Of biscuit
and made Mrs. Featherly sit down with
him while he ate and drank and made
merry, thinking Of the legacy they
would got by Uncle Johns will
In the next afternoon paper they
read that Mr.. John Oldham had given

tense at simplicity. buffalo Courier.
