SMALL POX ON THE JUMP.

We have read in several of our
exchanges of late where small pox
existed to some extent in different
localities but they were remote
from this place and off regular lines
of connection by rail, aud we paid
no attention to such reports, but
now we are warned that the pitted
disease is at Fair Oaks, Arkansas, a
small functional town on the Iron
Mountain and Cotton Belt railroad,
which is now being quarantined
against by Searcy. The SearcY
Light, says: "It is rumored that
smallpox exists IN Little Rock, but
no definite information can be had
as to whether such report is true
or false" Our board of health
should look into these Fair Oak
cases as we have several passenger
trains IN mere daily from tnat place
and if the disease gets good foot
hold there it will stand US in hand
to keep those people getting on the
cars at that place from getting off

DID.Y0U EVER
They Met, Passed the Compliments Of
Of the Evening, Bowed and
Separated.

Seuor Luis Polo Y. Bernabc, the
new Spanish minister, was presented
to the president on Saturday
| 1t was a glorious sunshiny day,
such a one as those fond of each
I other love TO have.
The president put lump Of sugar
in his mouth and the minister fol-
lowed suit, and they were then ripe
for a love feast. When the pre-.
sentation took place, the Spanish
minister said in effect:
The principal object of my hou-
Orab,e mission is 10 endeayot, so far
as possible, to maintain and draw
closer our countries in the most
friendly relations. ln order to at.
tain this end, so much in harmony
with my own personal feelings, am
ready to omit no effort whatsoever
on my part and ! doubt not shall
succeed if, as | hope, shall be for
tunate in gaining the beueyoence
of your excellency and your effect
i've co operation.
The president made reply:
at is very gratifying to me to
receive the assurances you have
just made of your purpose TO en-.
deavor to maintain and draw closer
in all possible ways the most friendly
relations between the two countries
and in response | assure you that
my efforts and those of this govern
ment will no less earnestly be direct
ed toward the same high end"
The same newspapers that pub
lish these sweet speeches tell the
world that both Spain and the
United States are preparing to fall
one upon the other with Shot and
shell, and yet we find the Spanish
representative sent here, as well as
our own president, making love
speeches through veil of hypoc-
risy that any clown could see
through even if near-sighted.

TO PLAY BALL.
The League Has Been Formed Under
the Name of "Red River Valley"

Mr.. w. O. McColm, who went to
Paris, Texas, on Saturday to meet
the base ball promoters in conven-
ton, returned Yesterday and re-
ports a harmonious meeting and
good ball playing in sight for the
season of 1898.
Mir. McColm tells us the following
delegates we're present: Ed c.
Clark, of Denison; Harry Webber,
of Sherman; ]. G. Lane, of Bonham;
81 Mulkey, of Mckinney; Frank
Leake, of Paris, and W. O. McColm,
of TeXarkana.
The delegates elected Harry Web
Der, of Sherman, president, and
Frank Leake, of Paris, secretary.
The following business was trans
acted
1t was decided that all cities en-
tering the league should deposit a
bonus of $50 that they would finish
the season.
The salary limit was placed at
$500, and it was decided that no
club should employ more than four
professional players. The term pro-
fessional players, as construed by
the meeting, is one who has played
for a salary with a club under the
protection of the national league.
A committee was appointed on
bylaws, consisting of Messrs. Web
Der and Leake.
There was some little discussion
as to the name of the league, and
it was finally decided to call it the
Red River Valley league.
Each manager of a club is con-
sidered a director and is at liberty
to send a representative to any
meeting.
Each club will employ and pay its
own umpire and scorer, and it was
thought best to fix the guarantee
at s35 for week days and $50 for
Sundays.
The president was instructed to
write Nick Young of the National
league for protection.
Applications were received for
membership from Shreveport, Ter
rell, Greenville, Ardmore, |. T.,
Gainesville, Marshall, Tyler and Cor
sicana, and it is probable that the
league will consist of Shreveport,
Terrell, Greenville, the cities repre-
sented at the meeting, and either
Ardmore or Gainesville, and 100
games will be played during the
season.
The meeting adjourned to meet
at Sherman at the call of the presi.
dent when the bylaws will be pre-.
sented and discussed.
Mr.. McColm said he thought that
there we're a half dozen men in the
city who would assist him in putting
a good club in the field here anC
also financially loan him assistance
to comply with league rules He
said he would get out season tickets
and sell as many of them as he
could dispose Of, The money thus
taken in would give him funds witt

BOVINE VALOR.

Two Cows Stormed Barbed-Wfre
Fence to Rescue Their Calves.
The editor of the Condor (Ore.) Globe
saw deed of valor lately that was
worth recording as well as seeing. A
herd of cattle, among them two cows
accompanied by their calves, were graz
ing in tall, dead grass when the calves
became separated a little way from the
rest of the cattle, and some wolves
started in pursuit of them. After run
ming about 200 yards the calves came to
a high, ive-wired, barbedwire fence,
and, being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side of the
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were rap
idly running them down on the other
side, when the two cow mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
a loud below, hoisted her tail and
started for the rescue.
1t appeared to be hopeless chase, for
the fence interviewed, and the cows were
certainly much too large to get through
1t. They knew well enough that it was
there, and could, beside, see it plainly;
but both cows plunged straight into it.
The watching editor, Mortified, looked
to see them hurled back, frightfully
wounded, but, instead, one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught, the
wires sank down, and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing, but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to flight.
Soon the cows were licking the res
cued calves affectionately, and the CO.
votes were bowling a disappointed duet
from the summit of a knoll near by.

Got His Man and Brought Him to


Got His Man and Brought Him to
Town.
Among theswills that were probated
the other day was that of negro black
smith named Austin Thompson, whose
shop was on Sycamore street. There is
a story connected with this mans name
that is worth telling, says the Lexington
(Ky.) Herald.
Just after the war old Benjamin T.
Graves was county judge. He was IN
eccentric man, very peculiar in many
ways, very honest and very positive.
He ruled with a strong hand. One day
Austin Thompson, who lived in the
county, was brought before him
charged with hog stealing. The meat
was found upon his premises, but he
had made no effort at concealment.
He acknowledged having the hog and
killing it, but insisted that he bought
the hog from another negro, who rep
resented it as his own. Judge Graves
inquired if he could "bring that other
niger into court" He was answered
somewhat doubtfully. The old judge
then answered to Austin that he must
bring that other niger in, dead or
alive"
A day or two afterward Austin drove
up with cart to the judges Office, and
entering informed his honor that he
had his man.
Bring him in,' said the judge.
II can't" said Austin; "he's dead"
He had followed the old judges in
structions to the letter. The other
negro refused to accompany Austin to
town, and so Austin killed him.
Of course it caused an immense sem
sation in the community, and there
was talk of impeaching the judge and
of hanging Austin. But nothing after
all was done about it, and the matter
was allowed to DROP

STRANGE CASES OF POISONING
ella Bite Was Not Deadly, But Um-
brella Tree Was.

breIIa Tree Was.
In the far northeastern part of Ari-
iona territory, that is to say in Navajo
county, a young man was bitten by a
Gtla monster recently. Almost at the
same time, at Yuma, in the extreme
southwestern corner of the territory,
little girl ate some berries that fell
from the umbrella trees that grow so
plentiful in southern Arizona. The
young man lived, but the little maiden
died. The latter case is the more re-
markable, perhaps, for until this in
stance not even the medical profession
suspected that there was anything
poisonous about the umbrella tree. The
child's name was Dora Lynch, her IA
Their being well-known in Yuma. The
lucky young man in the northeast was
Orrin Barney, who had started out with
party for Utah. He was following a
wagon up hill and "scotching" it with
rocks. He reached down for a rock
and picked up a ella monster. The
monsters head had to be cut off to
loosen the grip on Barney's hand. The
latter suffered severe pain for two days,
but then recovered. His only RENE dies
were tobacco and whisky.
