The Texas Land Queen.

Mrs. King, the widow of Richard
King, residing in southern Texas,
owns ], 200, 900 acres of land, or near
ly two thousand square miles of the
state-and is known as the Texas
land queen, not because she is the
widow of king" but rather be-
cause of the extent of her domain.
Her residence is a palace, and from
its front gate is thirteen miles, and
she can drive her carriage sixty five
miles in a straight line without go
ing off her own land This land
queen is said to be a most estimable
lady, so generous to her tenants
that she gives each family a COW.
She employs 300 COW boys, who have
set aside for their use 1900 ponies.
She is a politician, and controls the
votes of her hired hands and deter
mines whoshall go to Congress from
her district.
Here is chance to get rich wild
ow and also go to Congress in the
bargain. We have many bachelors
here who ought to get married and
we put them on this hot track, and
if they don't take it they are stand
ing in their own light.
There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which if taken at the flood gate
leads on to fortune.

TOO MANY WIVES.

About six months ago young
man came here from Wichita Kan
sas, with a young wife, and procur-
ed board at one of our private resi-
dences, and engaged in work with
one of our business men.
On Saturday a lady from the same
town, in Kansas, came here and
searched out the pair and claimed
the young man as her husband.
1t seems that all parties lived in
Wichita, and the husband falling in
love with a mss there, persuaded
her to go off and marry him, They
were married at Springfield, Missou-
ri, before they came here.
Wife No traced them here, as
stated above, and a reconciliation
was patched up between them.
Wife No. 2 was furnished money to
get home on, and wife No. l will
probably come here soon and live
with her husband. We learn the
young man has good farm back in
Kansas. The wife says she will not
prosecute the wayward husband.

Meeting Closed.

The meeting that has been in
progress at the Cumberland Presby-
terian church, under the supervis-
ion of Rev. McClurken and wife and
Miss SalEe Buquo, was closed last
night, and the parties above men
toned left today for Ryan, |. t., to
open a meeting there. We learn
that seventy conversions were had

who had connection with it feel
that it was a grand success and that
much good and strength to the
churches will spring therefrom.

EnjOlned from Paying Out Money to
Hold the Local Option Election.

Yestesday afternoon the attor-
neys for the West side temperance
people returned from Mt. Vernon.
We learn this morning from Mr..
W. B. Kizer that Judge Sheppard
enioined the Commissioners court
of Bowie county from paying out
any funds of the county for holding
such election, pronouncing it a
farce" and illegal.
We learn that the ants will prob
ably pay the expense of holding the
election, and hold it anyhow, and
then try its legality in the courts.
They are sure to be knocked
out, finally, Should any one try
to sell the ardent, after such illega
election, Judge Sheppard will make

If England refuses to arbitrate
the Venezuelan question, as re-
quested by President Cleveland,
Congress should very promptly de-
clare most positively that she must
do so, or else declare war against
the "blarsted Britishers" and give
another good whipping. 1t is high
time England was brought to her
senses, anyhow. She is entirely
too arrogant. 1t would be the best
possible thing for this country tC
wage war against her, as we could
then make her pay big indemnity,
to pay the expenses of such war,
and capture Canada, Then we
would indeed have better times,
