with the Merry World" which comes

Miss Bartho is undoubtedly the
greatest dancer of the age and in THE

ly new ballots, the costumes of which
are said to be contamination Of every
thing that beauty, splendor and ex-
quisite taste implies. The forty men,
bers of Miss Bartho's ballet are all
dancers of ability and the movements
executed in the grand ballet ensemble
are probably the most difficult and at
the same time, the most picturesque
ever seen in this country.

MYSTERIOUS LAND DEAL.

San Fracisco, Jan 2s.-Considerable
excitement has been occasioned dur
ing the past day or two by a mysteri-
Gus land deal on Point Iona. The
purchasers are Edward Brambo and
c. A. Griscom, Jr., Of New York and
they have boughat 12e acres on the
highest part Of the point. Efforts to
learn the purpose for which the land
is to be used have failed. Railways.
steamer lines and a big club house
have been advanced as probable ex-
plantations of the deal. The latest re-
port is that the land is to be used as
the eastern terminal Of the Transact
lantfc cable. This rumor cannot be
verified here. The persons concerned
in the deal have stated from the first
that when the facts were made public
the news would come from New York
and they declared it would come in a
day or two.

livered to them.

Wayne, Neb., Jan. &C. X. Rash
returned home last night from a re-

dead bodies of Mrs. Rash and her ten
year-old son lay on the floor frightful-

lay dead on the bed with their heads
mashed to a jelly. The deed was done
with three pieces of soapstone. When
the sheriff entered Rash was sitting in
the window and made no offer of re-
sistence. 1t is supposed Rash's mind
had become unbalanced as the result

CAMPAIGN COMMENT.
To the Light:

To the Light:
The charge that Mr.. Levy support
ed Callaghan for mayor two years
ago and is for that reason now incon-
sistent in opposing Callaghan, is an
assertion entirely without warrant
Mr.. Levy having been elected city
attorney on Paschars ticket four
years ago in opposition to Mr. Gala
CHAN regime, declined two years lat.
er to defend or support the very man
and policies he had previously de-
nounced. and not believing that FL
mendorf would make success as
mayor, he refrained form taking any
part whatever in the city election two
years ago. Mr.. Lewy's entire politi-
cal course has been consistent and al
ways in the interest of the best men
and methods.
San Antonio-the birthplace of Tex
as liberty and containing more for
eign born population than any other
city of its size in America-ought to
be the last place in the world where
an attempt should be made to fOment
prejudice of his race or religion, Suf-
flee it to say. all the candidates for
mayor are native born Americans,
proud of their country mad making
no apologies for their ancestral blood.
Their religious tendencies or lack of
religious utilization is not a matter in
any way involved in politics.
Mayor Elmendorf seems to he
claiming credit for many of the re-
forms which characterized the late
Mayor Paschars administration, for
getting to mention that Mr.. Levy, as
city attorney, at that time, had more
to do with bringing about those re-
forms than anybody with the excep-
ton OF Mayor Paschal himself. II
will be noted that as soon as Paschal
died and Lewy's term of city atfor-
ney expired, all efforts at reform sud
denly stopped and city affairs rapid
ly drifted back into the same old
looseneSs and extravaganza which
characterized the previous admins
trations of Mayor Callaghan.
