sculptor of San Antonio, is in trouble
in Corpus Christi. He has been arrest

sprinkle certain streets during 1896

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
Property owners and taxpayers will
look with dismay ut the proposition
TO grant franchise to another tple-
phone company, with privileges TO
erect poles and wires.
Already our narrow streets are lit
tered up with forest of unsightly
poles. overhead; is net work of wires
and all this has been done for the ben
eft Of corporations.
The city has granted franchise after
franchise to telephone. telegraph and
railroad companies without any COM
penSatiOn to the city corporation.
These franchises to use our streets
are very valuable. in fact the franchise
to use the streets of a city to erect
telephOneS,run railrOads.lay gas pipes
and water works. are the most valua-
bic belongings of these private cor
porations.
OF course this petition to erect an.
other forest of poles along our streets
and string wires over our heads
charged with electricity, will be
granted on the principles that have
given similar privileges TO others
everybody who asks for it can have
| it.
1t is high time the city council re
yived the proposition TO tax all polet
erected in the city. A like tax or tOl
imposed in other cities has been hell
good by the highest courts in thu
country.
This poll toll or tax would yield
revenue that would partly cOmpensat
the city for its franchises, and for tn
Inconvenience and nuisance of tn
poll erection along our sidewalks.

music is similar to the Kindergarten

and satisfaction your new method for

kindergarten plan,) consisting of
charts with staff, clefs, notes, rests,

Outrageous osculation.


We heard the other day of the most
bashful boy in the United States, re-
ports the Lincoln County (Tenn.)
Leader. ~ youth of 20 summers was
district. He seemed oblivious to the
coquetry of the young ladies under his
charge, who exhausted every known
artifice to attract his notice and be re.
warded by smile. But all efforts were
futile. His eyes were ever averted,
bushes persisted in keeping his hand
some face vermilion hue, which made
him all the more irresistible to the
country lassies. They resolved to kiss
the shrinking teacher, and most dia-
bolical conspiracy was formed to en-
trap the unwary pedagogue as he wend-
ed the lonely road returning from his
days labor. One afternoon of last
week he dismissed school as usual, lit
tie suspecting that in the innocent.
looking faces of the girls there lurked
the contemplation of deed most foul.
The last pupil had departed, feeling
of relief pervaded his soul. He could
now commune with nature. He was
happy as he gazed on the trees, be.
declSed with refreshing leaves of green.
The sunlight fell softly on the solitary
youth as if to shield him from the i'm.
pending catastrophe. Onward he
trudged. Finally he came to place in
the road where the shadows were the
heaviest. He heard the craclle of a
twig, turning his eyes in the direction
whence issued the sound, to his horror
emerged about 25 buxom females from
ambush and pounced down upon him.
Fair hands seized him and held back
his face as in grip of iron. and kiss
after kiss was imprinted upon his vis-
age. He screamed, pleaded and threat.
ened, but the invincible 25 continued
to rain kisses. When their osculatorv
desires were satiated he was released
and fed panic-stricken, and the most
dligent search has failed to locate the
terrified youth. a fellow who couldn't
submit to this kind of punishment all

A DISTINGUISHED BoARDER.
Special Pension Examiner, E. F..
Waite, is Being Entertained
by Sheriff Campbell.

Wednesday evening Mr.. Waite ar
rived in town and the following morn
ing surrendered himself to the author
tiles, and will endeavor to take his
case before the federal court on the
grounds, as always contended by his
attorney, Cato Sells, that state courts
have no authority over a federal Off
Ger. Yesterday afternoon his attor-
ney at this place, H. L. Reed, sent a
petition for writ of habeas corpus to
Judge Shiras, of the federal court, at
Dubuque, setting forth their reasons.
The answer will probably not be re-
ceived before Saturday morning, and
until then, Mr.. Waite will probably
remain in the county Jail. Should it be
granted, the whole trial will be had
again at Dubuque, and if rot, the
county treasury will be swelled by
$3.50.

A REPUTATION FOR ONIONS.
fhe Odorous Bulb Is Exported to Eng
land by Egypt.

The Odorous Bulb Is Exported to Eng
land by Egypt.
English imports of onions have in
creased from Egypt and it is acknowl-
edged that this country is at present
the most active and aggressive COM
petitor in the onion trade, says a writ
er in Chambers Journal. Egypt has
been regarded by some people as the
lane OF the pyramids and mummies n
~, but it has from time immemorial
had a reputation for onions. Ancient
Egyptians swore by the onion and re-
garded the plant as sacred. The in
scription on the pyramid of Cheops
tells us that the workmen had onions
given to them and from the bible we
learn that the Hebrews, when slaves
under Pharaoh, enjoyed these bulbs,
and that when far away they remem-
bered "the leeks and the onions and
the garlic" The trade with Egypt for
onions is now so important that four
lines of steamers are engaged in the
traffic, bringing consignments from
Alexandria to Liverpool, Hull and Lon
don. The Egyptian onion is a hand
some and useful vegetable, and by
selecting the best strains of seed the
quality tends year by year to improve.
The Egyptians know two varieties
the "baali' and the "miskaoui'-but
supplies of the latter kind are seldom
sent abroad, as they absorb so much
moisture from the frequently irrigated
ground in which they are grown that
they do not stand a sea voyage we'll,
The "baali" onion is the more popular
Egyptian onion and is grown in yellow
soil, which is sparingly watered while
the bulbs are maturing, in order that
the onions may stand a lengthy sea
voyage with little risk of 'tsprouting."
So excellent in quality are these onions
that efforts are, it is said, being made
IN other countries to raise onions from
Egyptian seed.

"A Human Balloon.

Albert Barrows, the s~ix-year-old son
of G. j. Barrows, of Somers, Kenosha
county, Wis, while running down a
hillside on the farm neal his home,
fell upon a stubble and the sharp points
entered his left side. He went home
crying, was put to bed and a physi-
clan was sent fo-. The accident ap-
peared ordinary and the resulting in
jury trivial. But unusual and grave
symptoms were not long in developing.
What was first noticed was a slight
swelling Of the left side of the body.
This was thought to be merely the
sympathetic action of the muscles fol-
lowing the bruise. Remedies were ap-
piled, but the swelling continued, in
creasing and extending day by day un-
til the entire body of the child had as
sumed an abnormal appearance. A
careful examination showed that the
stubble in entering the body had passed
between the ribs and entered the lungs.
It was the air from this organ that
was escaping, and, finding it's way I'M
der the skin, was gradually swelling it
out to terrible proportions. The lad
became pulled out to twice his former
size. 1t is a very uncommon case and
has attracted much attention in the
medical world. The swelling is of the
form which occurs in a person afflicted
with dropsy, except that the swelling
is done not by fluid, but by air. The
air breathed into the lungs, instead OF
finding exit in the ordinary way, es-
capes through the tiny p%unctures made
in the lung by the stubble. From the
lung the air find it's way to the mil.
lions of little cells between the muscles
and the skin.

~HORSELESS CARRIAGES.


Ahey Were Common in London Sixty.
Five Years Ago.
IL is interesting today to remember
n a nearly sixty-five years ago horse.
less carriages showed every sign of be.
Ing the common method of TRAVELLING
IN London and the surrounding neigh
corhood, for although at that time re-
strlctlons had been put upon steam car
rlages in the country these vehicles
were quite a familiar sight in the me-
tropolis, says the Westminster Gazette.
Theinventor was MI. Walter Hancock, a
Stratford man, who in 1881 brought out
an omnibus of his W design, which
was both elegant and in accordance
with the comfort of travellers. Com
panles were very soon formed to work
the new idea," the ojpect of one being
to u from Paddington to Brighton
and Hancock contracted to supply the
necessary rolling stock. In a few years
coaches were regularly running from
the city to most of the important
suburbs, but, owing to bad manage
ment the concerns did not last very
long. In 1885 the journey from London
to Marlborough (seventy-five miles,
was performed at the average speed Of
seven and one-half miles an hour, and
the journey to Birmingham was accom-
plished in a much faster average time
about ten miles,. This was not the
highest speed that could, be attained,
however, for the records state that a We
hlcle carrying a number of passengers
Travelled a mile along one of London's
principal thoroughfares at the rate OF
twenty-one miles an hour. It is we'll
perhaps that this speed was only main
tanned for n mile, for even in 1886
it was a dangerous rate of travelling.
No fewer than 1900 passengers were
carried over 1000 miles by steam in
the last few months of 1886.
