will be remembered that Mr.. Scott
armed the art Of telegraphy in Union.

A Voice from the Far West.

Bonham, Texas, Oct. Ill know
you aud your readers are we'll aware
of the fact that the Democrats of
Texas arranged big gathering at
Dallas this mouth, 2nl and 3rd ins'.
during the Texas State Fair and
Dallas Exposition. Of course Dem
ocratic gatherings are not of unusual
occurrence iu these days, nor IL it
strange that they should gather TO-
ge,her to discuss matters in general
and presidential possibilities in par
ticular, but it was said that the re-
cent Democratic Carnival was the
biggest thing of the Kind that ever
occurred in the Lone Star State.
BE that as it may, that in connection
with the State Fair was a great ad-
vertisement for Texas. And the
gathering as success was more COM
ple,e than the Anti Trust conference
recently held at St. Louis, Mo-, which
was called by our governor, J. b.
Sayer.
There is a senatorial contes. now
myths State between lion. Horace
Chiffon, a present incumbent, and J.
W. Bailey, member of Congress and
former leader Of the Democratic
forces in the lower house of the
National legislature, aud who repre-
resents us of the 5th District.
There is firm in Bonham, Mes.rs.
D. Steyer 4 Company, who, few
days since consumated q contract
with the English government to buy
1900 mules to be used in the pros.
pective war with the Beers in the
transvaal country, South Africa.
They have commenced to buy these
mules and have on hand here now
from two to three hundred.

weeks ago to receive wound in my

We would Ike to make a suggestion
to tie Town Council if wc may lie per-
mttsd and it is this: That boards lie
placed at every street crossing on Main
stl, et-nailed against Il building, with
the name of the street painted on them.
How many people in town know thc
names of the different streets cros'in
Main street. We should all know the
streets of our town, and the best method
of information is the posting of their
names on building ono side or the
other of Main street. Every other town
of consequence has the name OF its
streets posted consplcuously. Let lis do
likewise.

from P, j. Donahue of Butte as fol-
lows:

some time ago, and who was here on
a visit a few days ago. II was reported
in sporting circles yesterday that a man
by that name worked in the mines here
and that he had the reputation of be-
ing prominent in boxing matters, yet he
could not be located in order to find out
whether he sent the telegram. Judging
by the expressions heard on all sides
the big mill would be Il drawing card
in Butte and there would be no doubt
of its success; but as there is no duly
organized athletic club here. it is gem
orally believed that the telegram was
sent merely as a ''feeler."
