Silver King.

The Otto Krause company pre-
sented the "Silver King" last night
to a very poor house, considering
the play a good one and in compe-
tent hands.
The play was produced last night
by the best talent in the company,
and from the tot of a newsboy to
the 'Silver King" the characters
was all well given and fitted each
individual actor. Taylor and Har-
rison were we'll received and they
are two strong men to have with
the company. Tonight will be pro
duced money Mad, after which a
ten dollar gold piece will be given
away to some one in the audience
holding the lucky number. On
Saturday night the prize will be
$l5.
Go out tonight and see good
play, and get your name in the pot
for the ten dollar eagle "

What Is the Matter?

1t used to be that the East side Of
the city could afford to have the
streets sprinkled 10 fact, they
were sprinkled, and the West side
was ia dust at all times, save few
spasmodic efforts, at times, which
did not last long Now the West
side is having Broad street sprin-
kled daily, and that by our Mr. Ed
gar Vinson, or at least, we saw him
on the wagon driving; and the East
side is as dry as powder house.
There is but one ISOLATION to this,
and that is. the Texas merchants
are putting up the dust to keep
the dust down, while the merchants
on the East side have failed to do
likewise, and there is no one going
to sprinkle the streets unless they
are paid. Now come up with a pop.
ular monthly subscription, you mer-
chants, and let us keep down the
dust on one street.

THE KNIGHTS0F PYTHIAS.

Capture the Crowds.
A GRAND SUCCESS.
Is What Every one Says Of the Char
lty Parade.

Our people h ave been promised a
charity circus for several days, the
date fixed being this day, and from
the procession, we see that much
sly and quiet work has been going
on throughout the city,
We had no idea or conception
that 50 many OF Texarkana's lead
ing citizens could be induced to lay
aside staid dignity and appear in
passing parade, even for sweet
charity, but for their concerted ac-
tion and the unanimity which they
entered into the work the circus
would have been a failure, but as
all put their shoulders to the wheel
and gave their time and talent, the
enterprise proved a grand success.
The line was formed on Maple
street near the Presbyterian
church, and headed by the
Texarkana band, after which came
