A PLEASANT SOCIAL HOP.
The Occasion Enlivened by the Awardin,
of Prizes for Artistic Dancing.

The Occasion Enlivened by the Awarding
of Prizes for Artistic Dancing.
A social dance was given at the
city hall on last Friday night under the
direction of Prof. Frazier, who has been
conducting a very successful dancing
school here for some weeks past. The
attendance was good end, notwith-
standing the uncomfortably warm
weather, all enjoyed the affair immense
ly. The feature of the evenings enter
tainment was the awarding of prizes to
the "belle of the ball'', and to the best
lady and best gentleman waltzer. Under
the tuition of Prof. Frazier some of
the young people of the city have
improved wonderfully in the art of
dancing, and in the mazy waltz many
of the beginners are close second to
those who have had years of expert
ence. Indeed there were SO many eX-
pert walters who took part in the
grand prize contest that it was exceed
ingly difficult for, the three judges to
agree on the prize winners. The tro-
phies were finally awarded to A. d.
Field and Miss Josephine King, who
were certainly among the most grace
full and artistic dancers in the assem-
blage. Miss Clara Hummel was award
ed the prize as ''belle of the ball" The
decisions of the judges, while not en-
tirely satisfactory to all, were
received goodnaturedly. The contest
throughout was carried on with the
best of feeling and was thoroughly en-
joyed by all.
Excellent music was furnished by
the Sackette- -Weise orchestra.
George Gibson and wife served ice
cream and cake, lemonade and fruit in
the parlors of the fire department., ad
joining the ball room. while the dance
was in progress.

The register of the Alliance land
Office recently issued circular letter
to the settlers in his district advising
them that the former policy of the Of
flee had been amended in the matter Of
the publication of final proof notices.
The letter gives to the publisher the
right to make such arrangements with
those desiring final proof as may be
satisfactory to him. The settlers are
advised to make application directly
with the publisher and thereby insure
a prompt transmittal of their applica-
ton to the land office. This is an ad-
vance from the old policy in the right
direction.
Chas. Bruen, of Sioux City, senior
member of the we'll known and popu-

Springs best patrons, having spent
several weeks here every summer for
the past nine years. His health has
been greatly improved by the use of
the baths. He says business in
Sioux City is steadily improving and
the outlook is very bright throughout
Iowa for bountiful crop. Mr.. Bruen
says the the republican ticket and plat
form give general satisfaction through
out Iowa and thinks the election Of
Mckinley and Hobert isalmost assured.

ON TO SAN FRANCISCO.

A Milwaukee Newspaper Globetrotter
On a 81 900 Wager.
Samuel Levy of the Daily Seebote,
the leading German newspaper of Mil
waukee, accompanied by James Saegar
arrived in Hot Springs at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. They were on
their way overland to San Franciso
to win wager of $1,000 made by P. v.
Duester, the proprietor of the Seebote,
with Chicago gentleman. The con-
ditions of the wager stipulate that
Levy and Saegar must arrive in San
Francisco by II o'clock midnight, the
9TH of October. They are to travel on
horseback and must take the same
horses, or a part of them through to
San Francisco without the use of other
animals. or travel by other means than
horses or walking. The equipment
with which they started must be taken
through whether the horses hold out
OF not. Two horses are used for rid
ing purposes and two to carry the
packs. The distance from Milwaukee
to San Francisco by the route the 'spil-
grims" are going is estimated.at 3,4O0
miles and they are almost half way.
The boys arrived here from Pierre,
which they left about week ago, fat
brown and festive. They are about
week behind, having encountered in
cessaht rains. Their horses are, how
ever in excellent condition and they
expect to arrive at their destination by
the middle of September. Both took
a swim in the plunge and Mr.. Levy,
who is much Travelled man and who
has been in nearly all the famous
plunge baths of this country and Eu-
rope, pronounces the water far super
ior to any he has ever been in and es-
pecially better than the much lauded
waters of Carlsbad and Carlsruhe, Ger
many. Mr.. Levy is an Associated
Press correspondent and is sending
letters to the Seebote and Chicago pa
pers which are vividly descriptive and
full of incidents of the trip. Mr.. Sac
gar is typical plainsman and upon
him devolves the problem of finding
the way and arriving at the destina-
tion within the allotted time.

THE GREAT HMERICRN BIRD
Spreads His Wings at the Celebration
ON the Observation-Disclosures Eu-
thuse at Odell.

A number of country patriots with a
few from Hot Springs, Oelrichs and
Buffalo Gap gathered at Peterson's
grove on the Horsehead Saturday to
listen to the great American fowl
screech upon the occasion of the 125th
anniversary of the birth of the repub-
lie. There was the usual enthusiasm,
with speech and song emphasized by
the explosion of the small boys crack
er. There was barrel of lemonade @
for the thirsty and shade for the hot.
1t was picnic in every sense such as
makes neighbors more friendly, unit
ing them more firmly about the ma
tional penates. The Grafton of the day
was delivered by Rev. r. L. Robinson
of Hot Springs. This with the sing
ing of national airs made up the morn
ing program. At noon luncheon was
spread out under the trees and the
stomach, that ruler of the world, filled
up with good things. Recitations,
songs and short addresses formed the
early part of the afternoons program,
after which came the horse racing and
sports incident to Fourth of July cele-
brations. Notable among the short
addresses was that of Patrick Fergu-
son, who came to the platform when
the president of the day extended an
invitation to anyone present to make a
few remarks. Mr.. Ferguson assumed
a dramatic attitude and sized up the
national crises and lifted up his voice
in cry against the political srottenness
in Denmark" He also wanted to know
why 'the spirit of mortal should be
proud" and predicted the dissolution
of the republic and the demise of the
the bird if her flight is lmpeded by
reason of political-oppression-pinion
wings. His iconoclasm, language and
delivery were a source of much humor
to the good natured people who cheered
him Justify.
The evening was given up to dane
ing which was much enlivened by the
call of the chGnges by Carmen Fisher
who told the story in rhyme. Three
o'clock Sunday morning ended the
dance and the celebration.
A number of lovers of the stars and
stripes gathered at Odell Saturday to
pay honor to the flag and bless the
country over which it waves. The bird
emblem of freedom spread his wings
and, poised mid-air above the people,
added screech upon screech to the en-
thusiasm. Speeches, songs and fire.
crackers made up the days program
and the evening was given over to a
pleasant dance. Among those from
Hot Springs who attended the celebra-
ton were NJ. L. Kenable, Ben Skiles
and wife, Charles Dudley and Cortle
Curtis.

CAMpBELL FOR sHERIFF.

The Light calls attention of its sew
eral thousand readers to the an
nouncement of Mr.. John T. Campbell
for reelection to the office of sheriff
of Bexar county, at the election, No
vember 3rd. Sheriff Campbell has
filed the office two full terms, to the
satisfaction Of his friends and public,
and if chosen again, no doubt will do
his duty, as in the past without fear
or favor. John 7. Campbell is not
much on campaign stump speech
making, but when it comes to shak-
ing hands and making more friends
with the voter, his opponent will have
to get up soon in the morning and
stay out late at night. John has
friends too, who are hustlers, and
don't you forget it.

BICYCLE NOTES.

The bicyclists are becoming SO
numerous in this city that it ould
not be surprising in the future II
one should hear a wheelman ask a
candidate for county commission
er the following question: what
will you do for us IL the way OF
good roads?" ETC., etc.
ALT. Boylin has bought himself a
wheel and is now showing the
public at large some fancy trick
riding.
Ten new and four secondhand
wheels were sold in this city dur
ing the past week.
Bicycle faces have struck San
Antonio. They were seen on the
streets during the past week.
The colored people, who will cele-
brate Labor Day at the Jockey
Club grounds tomorrow, have ar
ranged bicycle raceto take place.
Several colored visiting bicyclists
will enter the race. Among the
prizes offered are the following :
First prize, $40 gold piece; second
prize, $40 gold piece; third prize,
S. gold piece, and several minor

ments to bring In returns from the

ling club will be selected and three

against the Houston street sewer
trenches, as they say no danger
signals are displayed after dark,
and that several riders have had
narrow escapes during the past
week.
M. G. Craftoy was seen riding a
wheel last week.
Every leading city in the state
has enclosed tracks in which they
give grand exhibitions, and the
San Antonio bicycle dealers are
now making arrangements to fall
in line. During the past week
they have opened negotiations
with the Central park people to
lease the grounds for that pur-
pose, and it is expected that within
a short time the deal will be closed.
1t is estimated that a first-class
board track can DO bnilN in the
park at a cost not exceeding $500,
which could be doubled in nekgate
receipts by few good .exl itions
of trick riding and racing.

Live STOCK Note..

Stock keeping keeps up the fertility OF
the farm.
If animals cannot understand Ian,
guage, they at least realize that a gen.
tie voice betokens kindness toward
them.
Keep the fences cattle proof When
cattle are tempted to jump low
broken-down fence, a dangerous habit
may be started.
A well-bred, well-fed yearling steer
can be made to outweigh at twelve
months the scrub at twenty-four
months. This being true, why continue
to raise scrubs?
The meat Of an animal whose bone
and muscle have been fully developed Is
better than the meat Of an animal that
has been forced on the fat side from the
beginning.
Keep no Improbable stock, whether
1t be horse, cow, hog, dog or poultry.
Make 1t point that every month on
the farm must at least earn the food II
eats. Keeping dead stock" is making
many farmers poor.
The color Of an animal affects It's sale
as much as the other points Of the ami
NAL. Breed with the end in view to
get good conformation and color In the
steers that you want to send to market
and In the cows that you want to sell.
At recent sale of Shorthorns in Eng
land, 32 cows and heifers averaged
S145.25, and 16 bulls 5000. At another
sale, &C head sold at an average OF
$133.50. Most of the bulls were sold
for expectation, a good many going to
South America.

Poultry Pointera.

When the bird begins to wheeze, you
have case Of roup on hand.
Keep the coops and yards sweet by
freely using air-slaked lime.
When the nests are where the dog
can run before and around them, either
the dog, the nests or the laying hens
are out Of place. Laying hens need to
be kept quiet.
Keep the poultry out Of the barn. It's
no place for hens. You can't give them
the care they need; you can't fight the
lice, and you don't want them littering
up the barn.
Are some Of your fowls looking pale
around the head, and not as lively az
they should be? Look to the grit sup
ply and put a few drops Of tincture Of
iron In the drinking water.
1t is best not. to feed cooked yegeta.
bles to fowls during warm weather.
They are too heating and fattening.
Besides, there Is so much desirable
green stuff on the farm that Is going ia
waste.
