NAT LEWIS

Formally announces hicself in the
Light today as candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Office of district clerk.
Nat Lewis is so well known in San
Antonio and over West Texas he
scarcely needs any formal introduce
ton to the people. His record as a
public official stands A number one,
and the bar and other citizens who
have had business dealings with him
are his strongest supporters. AS a
campaigner Nat stands at the head
of the list, and as a friend or enemy
you always know where to find him.
When it comes to putting life into a
campaign he can justly be called the
''plumed knight" of Bexar county.

SECURING A D0WRY.
Polish Bride Gives a Dance and a
Kiss for a Dollar.
Curious Customs at n Wedding in New
Jersey-Marshal Finally Obliged to
Interfere with the Bolster
Gus Festivities.

A wedding festival in South River, a
few miles from New Brunswick, N. j.,
Sunday and Monday presented some
amusing innovations, that led to the
temporary suspension of the festivities
by Marshall Applegate, because the ccl-
ebrators were making more noise than
the official thought seemly for an Amer
lean Sunday night.
Two Poles living at South River were
married Sunday by a Polish priest at
South Amboy. Their friends in South
River and SayTeyille and some from
New Brunswick, were invited to the
feast and celebration. First of all there
was substantial dinner. The dishes
set forth at fashionable American we'd
dings did not appear, but solid dishes
took their places. There was plenty Of
beer, too. When the table had been
cleared, the bride appeared in the room
with tin washbasin covered with a
tightly-stretched cloth, in the middle
of which there was a slit. Then began
a process of obtaining a dowry, which
was an innovation in these parts.
Every man in the place who wished
to do so could deposit one dollar in the
basin. The deposit of dollar entitled
him to a dance with the bride, and at
the conclusion of the dance to give her
@ kiss.
While the first man was getting his
dollar ready the orchestra appeared. 1t
consisted of a man with a violin, an
other with a mouth organ and another
with an accordion.
Then the fun began, and all the after
noon the dancing was kept up. The
bowl began TO fill with dollars and the
bride to tire, but still the dance went on.
She appeared to be in great demand, for
one man is said to have dropped three
dollars into the basin, and then to have
felt aggrieved because he could not de-
posit fourth,
1t was stated by Pole that about
100 dances were taken part in by the
bride, and each of these represented one
dollar.
Tired at last with dancing, the we'd
ding guests began to sing. They scat
ed themselves in a circle about the
room, and, with the tired musicians
playing, sang in their native tongue.
This part of the affair was in full swing
when the marshal entered and told
them it was late at night, and the affair
must cease.
The Poles did not like this, but the
bride proved equal to the occasion, and
announced that the celebration would
begin again after working hours Mon
day night. 1t did, and there was more
dancing and mora singing until late in
the morning.

TAILED TOO MICH.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. ia spec
ial from Perry, o. T., says: 1t is re-
ported but not verified that Elmer
Cox, a prominent horseman, had been
lynched at Pawnee, o. T., late last
night for killing D. Crawford. Craw-
ford was one of the best known men in
the country and was superintendent Of
the Christian Sunday school. The men
quarrelled late last night over Cox's
wife, Crawford asserting that she did
not conduct herself becomingly. Cox
struck him over the head with scant-
ling, from which blow he died Tues
day. All day yesterday Pawnee was
crowded with an excited mob.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 1896
CANDIDATE FOR CONSTABLE.

James McCloskey is a candidate for
reelection to the Office of constable
for precinct No. 1. Read his announce
ment in todays paper. The Weekly
Lantern says of him: MIR. McClos-
key went it single-handed and alone
two years ago and defeated his oppon-
ents by an overwhelming majority.
The people of San Antonio have had no
occasion to regret their action in vot-
ing for Mr.. McCloskey then and con-
sequently are not likely to reverse
their judgment at the coming election
in choosing a candidate for constable.
Fearlessness, honesty and impartiality
constitute the chief requisites of an
efficient constable, and as Jim McClos-
key possesses all of these qaulifica-
lions we can see no good reason why
he should not be reelected for another
term.

INCIDENT OF THE DESERT.

Fate of q French Marquis on the Great
Sahara.
The bodies of Marquis de Mores and
his dagoman, Add el Hack, have
reached Gabes, the most southerly town
of Tunts, sewed up in canvas bags and
wrapped in mating, says the New
York Times. They were brought back
from the desert by party of French
spahl cavalry, sent out fortnight ago
from the French outposts of the Sahara.
The body of Duo de Vallombrosha's
con is described as having melted away,
either owing to the sun, the dryness
of the desert, insects or birds of prey.
Not a hair was left on his head. He
was recognized solely by plaster cast
of his teeth sent by his Paris dentist.
The two bodies were placed in leaden
shells, and will be sent by steamer to

THANKSGIVING

Dowa from the North. with tresses white,
Old Wiister comes with icy breath:
At his approach our birds take Hight,
And sweet flowers close their eyes IN
death,
But not until the lavish earth
Redeerns the promise OF the Spring,
And harvest songs ring out their mirth-
For this we thank God, our King.
Then let the lusty North wind roar:
Heap up the beard with richest cheer,
While with loved ones we think DER
The blessings Of another year.
We will forget our toll and care;
Life must grow Sweeter while we sing,
Gods providence is everywhere
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
No pestilence has swept our land.
No wild storms wrecked cur ships at sea;
We have not felt wars bloody hand,
Our pride is still In liberty.
Our happy homes their shrines Of love.
On carth's dark bosom glittering.
Must shine like stars to es es above
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
Eut not alone do nations know
Gods ruling hAhd is over all;
He secth that the lilies grow.
and carcth when his sparrows fall;
Each life Is precious in his sight;
We should rejoice. remembering
Our Father guards us lay and night
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
Each soul has cause for special praise.
Though sCme have felt their deepest loss.
Trcading these lonely Christ-like ways,
beneath the shadow Of the cross.
But joy or pain. God knoweth best.
Though tears have fallen. still we sing,
a child Of his Is always blest-
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
