they get caught in the "heads l
win, tails you lose" game to catch
their much needed pocket change.
No blame is attached to the state
volunteer guards, for they have
worked hard to entertain the crowd
for the grab game management of
the drill. TO give an idea how the
drill management work suckers
into their dead cinch bunco game,
the first tax imposed upon the
visitors to the Alamo city, after
they get ready to start to the
grounds is ten cents street car fare.
Then, after arriving at the drill
grounds, there is an admission fee
of so cents, and if one goes there in
the afternoon he must stay all day
and continue to nibble at the diff
ferent bats set for them, or he
must pay an additional so cents to
re-enter in the afternoon. fla man
gets thirsty, glass of water costs
at least five cents. If he wants to
60 under the shade of the grand
stand-the only shade on the
ground-it costs him % cents. To
all of this our people would not
have objected had the program
been as it was advertised. What
the drill management taxed man
for smiling at his sweetheart, or
what is taxed the young lady for
returning the smile, we have been
unable to learn. There has not
been one who attended from Seguin,
SO far as the Anchor has been able
to learn, who has not denounced
the bunco game, and it is said that
many of the good citizens of San
Antonio have spoken disapprov-
ingly Of it. Those who went say
this is their last nibble, but we feel
safe in saying that suckers will
bite as long as the bait holds out.

dispatch says:
Inquiries regarding a large bal
loon which was seen passing in Il
northeasterly direction on the even
ing Of the 2Sth, three miles from
Whitemouth, have elected the fact
that the evening was remarkably
calm and clear.
Farmer Henderson was standing
at the door of his barn and was
taking glance around the sky
when he saw large oblong object
sailing slowly across the horizon.
Gradually he made out the car,
when he saw a large sail swing into
view. Astouishment held him
spellbound and again and again
the ghostlike sail swung and gibbed
full in view, showing its enormous
proportions, then slowly drifted out
of sight in the twilight.
Henderson, on returning to his
house, consulted newspaper hav-
ing a picture Of Andree's balloon
and declares the airship he saw is
of the same character. The bal
loon was floating very low and
Henderson says it could not have
been more than half q mile away
He could see no signs of life and it
showed no lights.n

SAN ANTONIAN KILLED.
Horrible Death of William Wolf Near
St. Louis Last Saturday.

An unusually horrible accident
occurred about 6 II. m. yesterday at
the viaduct of the Merchants bridge
across the Alton county road, half
a mile north of Venice. Engineer
John P. Colling, with train OF
twelve cars, pulled out of Madison
for st. Louis. When just past the
viaduct he was signaled TO stop by
the train crew. He did SO and
found a car derailed. On investi-
cation the mangled remains of a
man were found cut in pieces, nine
cars having run over him. The
body was shapeless mass, which
had rolled up with his clothing
and derailed one car. The scattered
portions of his body were gathered
up by the yardmaster at Madison
terminus and the authorities at
Venice were notified.
John Gillian, one of the three
trainmen, said he saw the deceased
spring out from behind q girder
and try to mount a car. He lost
his hold, and fell under the wheels
and was crushed.
The remains were taken to
Krone's undertaking establishment
in Venice, where Coroner Bailey
held an inquest. A horrible feature
of the accident was that one kidney
fell from the viaduct to the rail.
road track beneath, and other por-
tons TO the Alton county road.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury
was accidental death caused by
carelessness of the deceased. The
man appeared to be about 80 years
of age. From papers found in his
pocket it is supposed his name was
William Wolf of San Antonio, Tex.
The body was buried by order of
the coroner in the Nameoki ceme-
Louis Globe Democrat.

A DISGRACEFUL
SPECTACLE.

The execution of Mexican MUIR
derer and rapist in Southwest Texas
Friday last furnished q spectacle by
no means calculated to impress a
salutary lesson upon any ignorant
or vicious who witnessed the hang
ing-and it seems that 5000 spec
tators got good view of the execu-
ton,
TO permit a condemned man to
make a mockery of the law and Of
death upon the scaffold, to indulge
in bravado and sing his songs and
smoke fine Havanas and joke with
the crowd, is not exactly meeting
either the legal or the decent re-
quirements of such q situation.
The law providing that executions
shall be virtually private WAS not
framed without good reason, and it
is a matter for general regret that
it is not more generally complied
with in both letter and spirit.
There is such superintendent
amount of morbid curiosity in
human nature and such an electric
current for either good or bad run
ming through crowd, that it was
rightly deemed the proper thing to
remove executions from the gaze of
the multitude. The great lesson
was too often lost by just such eX-
hibitions as that at Floresville,
when the criminal showed his con-
tempt for the punishment, or, in
the more numerous cases, where the
condemned man became a religious
enthusiast at once and often Il hero.
Death did not look so terrible to
the multitude under such circum-
stances. and the effect was oftener
injurious than 'salutary.
There is entirely too much senti-
ment manifested in legal execu-
tions. The criminal is petted and
hampered for days before and given
whatever latitude he wants upon
the scaffold. He is prayed and
sung with until he is worked into
a high state Of excitement. and the
execution which the law contem-
plates shall be as quiet and prompt
as possible is lifted into the spec
tacular and the horrible crime and
brutal and bloody instincts of the
prisoner are overlooked or wholly
forgotten. There is field for ex-
cellent reforms by the courts and
