prietor of what is known as Bond
Bros. circus, whose winter quarters
are here. The circus men were
very angry and talked about lynch
ing the officer, Mcmahon is very
popular here.
The man wanted by the Texas
officer is Steve Purdy, circus per
former, who arrived from Fort
Worth, Texas, yesterday to JOIN the
circus. He was arrested here last
night on telegram from Abilene,
Texas. Cunningham stated that
the charge against Purdy is the
burning of the Windsor hotel, the
best hotel in Abilene, Texas, on
which there was an insurance OF
$4,000. The hotel was burned on

A COSTLY SMASH.

Saturday morning about three
o'clock the second section of a north |
bound cattle train ran into the first
section at West Point, knocking a
caboose and four cattle cars into
kindling wood and killing thirty
three head of beeves, The wreck
occurred just at the depot and only
few feet from the night operators
table. They say he was tie worst
scared man on the road for few
minutes, thinking the train was
coming into the depot. The en-
gineer on the second section was a
new man and it was his first run
on this road. On the engine with
him. acting as pilot, was Conductor
Griffin. Neither evidently knew
where they were, as the first intima-
ton Of danger was when the red
lights on the caboose on the train
ahead flashed into view 1000 feet
ahead. 1t was then too late to stop
as the train was said to have been
running at the time forty-six miles
an hour. The engineer al piled the
air brakes and then he. the con-
ductor, headfbrakeman and fireman
jumped for their lives. With a
crash like thunder the engine
plunged into the train ahead, and
, above the crash of timbers and the
roar of escaping steam, could be
heard the believing Of the poor
cattle. No wonder the night opera
tor was scared; it was enough tC
scare anybody. All the cattle il
the first car were killed except one
1t was found unhurt at the bottom
of the pile and when pulled out got
up and walked off as though nothing
had happened, The wreckoge wa
soon cleared. The negroes abou
West Point are living high jus
now. The railroad company CAV
them the cattle provided they would
drag them off. This they were gla'
. to do and are now eating beef TIRE

that another cattle train would &c

A Remarkable River.

1t requires remarkable stretch oil
the Imagination to believe the exist
ance OF a river that turns all fixed
rules topsy-turvy by flowing from the
sea inland. Yet such a stream ex-
lists. Near the shores of the Gulf of
Alden is small body of water called
Asia Lake. It's basin is several hun
dred feet below the sea level, while
the surface of the lake itself is nearly
700 feet below mean tide. The river
feeding it is some 20 miles length.
1t has limited volume and has filled
the lake basin to the extent that the
evaporation and supply exactly ball
ance each other. 1t is believed that
the lake was once an arm of the sea
which became separated therefrom by
drifting sands.

cause the dear Statesman has a can

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood
Electric Bitters improve the appetite
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried il as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try 1t.

VIII Economic, Then Reconsider.

At the regular meeting Of the City
Council, Thursday evening, the plan
of campaign was indicated. 1t is to
be economy-Democratic economy.
There is every reason to believe that
several street lights are to be cut off
and that an effort will be made to re-
turn to our former condition of dark
ness after midnight. This is supposed
to be for the benefit of burglars and
thugs. We may be mistaken or they
may not do so, now that the scheme
is exposed, but that is the way it
looks.
Another item is the order that The
city clerk shall make up the tax lists.
Heretofore it has been the practice to
have an expert do this work, Mr. w
A. Pitzer having made~ up the lists
for several years past. OF course Mr..
Lambert can do the work, but as his
duties are now very onerous it will
take some time.
The levy was laid at 90 cents for
general fund and cent for the fire
men and the fremen say they intend
to have the money.
There is fun ahead. Mr.. Little
may be able to hold his forces in line,
with the aid of the editor of the Dem
ocrat, but doubts are expressed and
as we remarked there is fun ahead

Then, Mr. Democrat, we are to un-

those contests were decided according

Democrat such is not the case. 1t
may be that the Court will disillusion-
jze our contemporaries and others

SHOULD HAVE A CENSOR.

Inc wheeling Register OF tuesday
referring to the determination Of the
Maine Populists to desert the Demo
Gratis and run in the middle of the
road with Tom Watson, said
This action of the Populist organ
ization of one State was in a measure
foreshadowed by the action OF con-
gressional representatives. On all
points of public policy which have
come to test in Congress the Repub-
lican party has had the aid and sup
port of the men who publicly allied
themselves with the Democracy for
the defense of the people in the last
campaign. The action of these men
has made it extremely doubtful if,
in the event of victory, the Democrats
would have been able to keep the
pledges made to the people.
In the face of the sacrifices made
by the Democrats in the last cam
paign, the party now finds its Repub-
lican allies supporting Republican
policies in favor of trusts and its Pop
ulistic friends heaping insults and
abuse on the Democratic leaders.
democrats will not be discouraged
by the situation, but they should
learn wisdom from it. The lesson
that it impresses upon them is that
the party should be true to its own
convictions, lay its lines of battle by
the principles which have historically
guided its action and appeal to the
people as the only political source of
safety"
The above confession is decidedly
fresh and is interesting in the admis.
sion that the Democratic party was
not true to its own convictions" and
that it was not guided in Its lines of
battle by the principles which have
historically guided its action"
Then, in contradiction to the above,
the same paper in it's issue of We'd
nesday flops and gets off the follow
ing;
"EX-Governor Boies, Of Iowa, has
suddenly become opposed to 10 to T
free coinage, although he is still OPP
posed to the single gold standard
Uncle Horace was a strong enough 10
to I man when there was a chance for
him to become a candidate for the
presidency. There is not much to
say in favor of Uncle Horace's brand
of Democracy. Fortunately, he
amounts to little, and hereafter will
amount to less.
If our metropolitan contemporary
would now favor us with an exposi-
ton of the true brand of Democracy,
we might be better able to understand
the idiosyncacies of Democracy aud
