EAST SIDE CITY COURT,

Yesterd Y the reporter attended
an East Side court and for a farce
comedy of the irst water, we were
treated.
A hobo, of the dusty, sandy
stripe, was up for trespass. He
was so dirty and unkempt that a
cayote would not dare to make a
breakfast frsm his carcass, though
suffering with the worst pangs of
hunger. 1t had been determined
TO turn the hobo loose-give hun
orders to hit the grit, but in order
to make him rem mber Texarkana
and to shun the city, they put him
through a mock tiial. The City
Marshal took the hobo to one side
and told him that the city attorney
while being a hardhearted, bald
headed Jew, could be moved to
tears if he would only feign sick, as
a cause for being vagrant. The
Marshal also told him that the city
attorney was deaf and he would
have to speak very loud. He then
led the prisoner before the court
and the fun began. Mr.. Solinsky
asked: "Where did the officers
pick you up last night2" to which
Dusty replied: 81 was by the tire,
watching them load ice" City at
torney, with his hand to ear) "You
say you was burning ice?"
mol mol l say / was watching
them load ice" Here the Marshal
broke in and told Dusty to speak
louder.
Il say l was by the fire watching
them load ice.
The city attorney and marshal
kept the poor fellow yelling his
answers and repeating them until
he was thoroughly exhausted at his
own effort to talk loud, and then he
was permitted to 60 with a premise
that he would never visit this city
again.

NEW MUSIC HOUSE.

The Estey Piano and Organ Com
pany have established a new music
house in this city, in charge of Mr..
H V. Beasley, located in the Lester
building, formerly occupietby Mr..
A. A. Adams. A fine display Of pi-
amos and organs have already
been placed in the house, and
the manager guarantees the
prices In keeping with the times
will be sold low down for cash, or on
easy payments. 1t is needless to
say that the Estey pianos and
organs are known for their worth
and merit, far and wide.
Mr.. Beasley, the manager, has
been at work for the house for six
years, and he has won his firms
confidence and esteem, as we'll as
its patrons in southwest Arkansas
and other sections. He was raised
near Magnolia, and many of Tex
arkana's best citizens cau and will
vouch for his strict integrity of
character. We hope to see him
make grand success of the new
music house just started here-and
there is no reason why he cannot,
as city is constantly growing, and
with its eight railroads reaches a
fine territory. If you want a piano
or organ, do not fail to call and see
Mr.. Beasley.

HUGE COLISEUM PLANNED.

Its Erection on Libby Prison Site
Proposed by . Chicago Alderman.
Chicago capitalists headed by Alder
man G. F Gunther have on foot prof.
ect for the removal Of Libby prison and
the building Of an immense coliseum
on the site at Fifteenth street and Wa
bash avenue. While the project is in
the preliminary state, Alderman Gun
Their says that the matter will probably
be pushed to successful termination.
II am not at liberty to disclose all
our, plans, nor the names Of the gentle
men interested" Mr.. Gunther said the
other day briefly, We intend to erect
structure larger than the Madison
Square Garden in New York. It is to
be modern in every way and specially
designed for an amusement and oonven-
ton hall. The ground is about 800 by
172 feet in dimensions-muoh larger
than the ground covered by the Madison
Square Garden. It is the most centrally
located plot Of ground of its size in
Chicago, being convenient to all lines
Of transportation and within easy walk.

The ground is held under q 90 year
lease by the museum company which is
now in my hands as receiver. The mu-
scum is for sale, and as soon 40 it can
be disposed of We will begin the erec-
ton Of the new coliseum, providing our
plans do not misoarry. In event of be.
ing unable to sell the prison building
we may remove it to another location,
as it is not by any means a paying ven.
ture in it's present location.
"Just as soon a. our plans are little

furnish Chicago with building which
will supply all wants of conventions,
exhibitions and large entertainments.
I know that such q building will be q

Colonel Roosevelt Gives His Opinion q
Il Array Bssf. afH.,
ALBANY, N. ", Jan. 14.-Governod
Roosevelt stated that he had written :
letter to Major General, Miles concern.
ing the character Of the meat Furnished
during the Santiago campaign. General
Miles at Washington has made refer.
ence to the receipt of that letter. The
governor, as colonel Of the regiment Of
Rough Riders, submitted . report to
the war department in September last
which contained practically the same
account Of the condition Of the beef a.
was set forth in his letter to General
Miles. The governor, in his letter,
stated that four kinds Of beef were fur
nished to the Rough Riders from the
time they left Florida for Cuba, until
their return. =.
The first Of these was corned beef.
It's quality was good. The salt in the
meat seasoned the other articles of food
and the men found it quite palatable.
The second kind was canned roast beef,
which was without flavor and taste and
would turn the stomachs Of those who
ate it. It was stringy and tough and
without any qualities witch would rem.
der it a fit article of food. There wa
but one way in which the men could
eat it, and that was by making it into
stew. Fresh vegetables were not
always obtainable, and stews could be
made only occasionally. When the
Rough Riders left Tampa, a large
quantity of specially prepared beef
was placed aboard tho transport on
which they embarked. This beef wal
quarters and was stored in the forward
end of the transport. It had been
prepared by some special process, un.
known to Colonel Roosevelt, but sup.
posed to be with some form Of solution.
The transport was out from Tampa but
q few hours when this beef began to
smell. The stencil was 70 great that
the men avoided the forward end of the
transport as much as possible. The
meat could not be eaten and it was
thrown into the ocean. A fourth kind
of beef was served to the Rough Riders
at Santiago, after July %. It was Of q
good quality and was brought to Cubs
in special steamers with refrigeratins
facilities. Governor Roosevelt's official
report was accompanied by reports OF
the quartermater and surgeon and the
several captains.
