ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Little if anything has been
found worthy Of record during the
last week. Some improvements are
always going on, but not in so
large scale as during spring and
summer time, and the gossips
around here can punch? Echoes but
few times.
The LIGHT man, Mr., Johnson,
has secured the king ofpaniters to
beautify his pleasant home.
Jack Thompson, a West End
street railway man, and one of the
most popular of all the conductors
of all the street car lines of San
Antonio, has got his name up as a
winter. gardener. His acres of cab
bage and turnips show up we'll.
Mr.. Philip Mallory paid short
visit to his West End home.
Many visitors during the relig-
ious conference and horse and
poultry shows, came out to look at
West End.
DR.. j. NJ. PEBBLES, formerly OF
West End, failed to pay us short
visit during his stay in the city.
and no one knows whether this
apparent slight was caused from
the fact that West End has now a
more thorough or better appointed
Sanatorium than the old one, or
for want of time. There are
several copies of the doctors old
books allow to Grow Old Grace
fully" around here yet, but the
means to follow his luggestions
are not at hand. The doctor left
here after his dwellings were con-
sumed by the flames, and many
still number gratefully the old
gentlemen who had such valuable
high priced medicines, but was
liberatly personifitd since his
sermons and prescriptions were
always given gratis.
On Friday last, at the popular
place Of Mr.. Chas. Mueller, there
were two runaways, one a four
horse team that was caught be-
fore il crossed the Alazan, with
out injury to either team or wagon,
while a light buggy Jared rather
badly about the came time.
The little folks and particularly
of charming little An

evening to come around, when her
birthday anniversary will be cele-
brated by her many little friends
with a ehildren's party.

DALLAS LETTER.

From Our Own Special Correspondent.
DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 6, 1895.
The Catholic fair on Main street
is doing a land office business.
Contributions have been IT ceived
from Washington, d. c., Chicago,
H., and other northern cities.
Friends of Bishop Dunno sent
handsome donations. There are
various boths presided over by
winsome misses, and tables where
good square all-round meals, at
moderate prices, are served by
stately danes. Saturday is day
set apart for children, bon bons

pastors, bless their dear good souls |!
at a recent meeting Of the coun-
Gil, presented prayeriully written
petition asking that the city dads"
pass an ordinance closing saloons
from ~ o'clock Saturday night
until y O'clock Sunday night. One
of the alderman moved to reject
the potion instantly. Another one
said he did not want preachers or
churches meddling in state affairs,
said as the churches paid no taxes
they had no right to have "say".
Mayor pro tenn Woodside thought
they should take a milder view OF
the matter, said the ministers
had as much right to Pc
tition the council as any other
citizen or citizens. They are not
trying to dictate. at is simply
prayer" said Mr.. Woodside.
Alderman O'Keefe groaned, at
is pretty tough prayer"
Mr.. Woodside said he wanted to
go on record on the moral side. He
did not think it right that church
goers be compelled to pass open sa-
looms on Sunday. Mr.. O'Keefe said
the saloon men had no hooks or
ropes to pull one in. His argu-
ment, from a teetotlar's stand
point, was not very logical, but the
petition was rejected by vote of
10 to 2.
The preachers have forgotten
that there was time when front |
doors were closed. The latch string
on the rear door was ever on |
the outside. There was just as
much drinking then, and perhaps
little more on account of its be-
ing forbidden, than there is now.
There was more bottle drinking,
to be sure, than there is now.

Recently Outlined a Solution

TERRE HAUTE, Feb. 24.-At day.
er, familiarly known as Gus Walker,
called to his sleeping wife, and, as
she awakened, he fired deliberately
at her, the bullet imbedding itself in
the pillow. Mrs. Walker started to
flee from the room, but was grabbed
around the neck by her husband,
who, with a pistol in either hand,
fired two more shots, one Wounding
Mrs. Walker slightly in the hand.
Walker then turned the pistol on
his lungs, it coming out at the spine.
He lived but a short time. Mrs.
Walker is a sister of B. G. Hudnut,
of the Hudnut Milling company, and
president of the Vigo County Ma
tional bank. Mr. and Mrs. Walker,
with their three children, lived in a
handsome house on one of the most
fashionable streets. At one time

it is believed, will be held to dispose of
the appropriation bills, there being
many provisions in those remaining
unconsidered which may lead to pro-
longed debate. There is also prob
ability of debate over the next report
of the conference committee on the
diplomatic bill, involving the appropri-
alton for the Hawaiian cable. There
is not much in the legislative bill to
lead to debate, but the other three bills
all contain provisions which, If they
are not withdrawn, are sure to cause
sharp discussion. 1t is intimated that
the certificate amendment to the sun
dry civil bill may be withdrawn. If it
is, this will simplify the situation
somewhat, but there will be material
for many speeches and reasons for
prolonged sessions. Senators do not
consider the outlook discouraging, and
they predict that the bills will all be
passed by the time fixed by the consti-
tuition for adjournment on the 4th of
March. Following is the status of the
appropriation bills:

MINERS ARE STARVING.
Those in the Hooking Valley Need
Immediate Aid.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 24.-The com
n1ittee investigating, under the direc-
ton of Gov. Mckinley, the condition Of
the unemployed in the Hooking valley
and other Ohio coal regions will report
to the government this week, and also
the commercial bodies which they rep
resent in different countries. They
found much suffering and destitution
existing, and that outside relief is alb
solutely necessary to enable the miners
to become self-supporting. The Cincin-
natl chamber of commerce will resume
it's efforts for relief. At Buckingham
the miners during the last year have
had eighty-siX days work The mines
shut down last September, and have not
run since. Since the commissary has
opened UP they have received the fol-
lowing average to each person: Flour,
16 pounds; meal 4 pounds; meat, 21b
pounds; beans, 1 pound; sugar, u
pounds; potatoes, Is pounds coffee, %
pound; hominy, Az pounds; crackers,
Il pound. Divide this by thirty-six
days and the actual daily allowance
can be had. The other stations remain
about the same. The committee are
satisfied as to the condition, but are at
loss to know when it will end, and
how to meet the demands The pro-
visions that are being received are not
sufficient to supply the needy.

AN IOWA MYSTERY.
Veteran Found Dying-May Be a
Case of Murder.

v
Case of Murder.
NEWTON, To-, Feb. 24.-This COM
munity was greatly shocked this morn
ing when the news spread that j. r.
Zollinger, prominent merchant and
an eX-sheriff, was found dead and had
probably been murdered. Mr. Zollin-
ger left his place of business about
$50, and when he reached home his
wife noticed blood flowing down over
his face, and, on inquiring what was
the matter, he stated that he had fall
en- or been hit. These are the only
words he spoke. A physician was
summoned, and, on examination, a
large cash was found on his head.
He never regained consciousness, but
died between 12 and 1 o'clock. 1t is a
very mysterious case, some believing
he was waylaid, and the thug failing
to bring down his victim, had fed
without accomplishing his full pur-
pose, that Of robbery, nothing on his
person having been taken. Others
think he was overcome with a stroke
of apopleXy and struck his head
against an electric light wire pole.
Whichever it was, it happened within
a few rods of his home. Two clubs
were found near the spot where the
first blood was visible, which makes
it look like a case of murder. Mr.. Zol-
linger had been captain in the army.

BUSINESS BETTER.
American Loan Has u Favorable
Effect in London.


Effect in London.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-Only during the
two worst periods of the present cent
ury has the bank rate remained at
per cent once for thirteen and another
time for sixteen months. Beyond
light hardening of rates, on account
of the new American loan, there is no
visible prospect of change, the rush
for bonds here indicating anxiety to
find a fair investment security. 1t has
been estimated that, had the new issue
been made as gold instead of coin
bonds, the price would have been 130
instead Of 49, Business in the stock
market was only moderate, but the
tone was altogether better, except for
consols, which were sold to provide
money for the new American loan.
Most good investment stocks ad-
vanced, but the London Water Works
stock fell from 10 to Is per cent during
the week, the question being before
parliament of the county council buy
ing the companies out. Foreign Sc
curities, including Argentines, were
dull. Egyptian securities were down
on the rumors of trouble between the
khedive and Baron Cromer, the Brit
ish agent and consul general at Cairo
Mining shares were moderately active.
Brazilians rose sharply on the news
of the International loan. Only the
best American railway bonds i'm
proved. Other American securities
were not affected by the new loan.
The principal decreases were: Erie
seconds, 2; Fries and Norfolk & West
ern, each IL. The other decreases
were fractional. There was rally in
the securities Of Grand Trunk of Can
ada
