Miss Murdock's glance rested care.
lessly upon these words for an in
stant. They aroused in her nothing
more than the mild curiosity which
attaches to events of palpitating hui
man interest, when they have been
congealed in the columns of the daily
newspapers and served TO palates al
ready sated with sensational ver-
bosity.
MARY said you wished to speak to
me-" said the young girl, after a
short pause. Il thought | would step
in to see you before going to Mr.
Sprague's."
ITO Sprague's?" inquired Murdock
fixing his keen eyes upon the young
girl. "Ah, yes; l remember he spoke
of the appointment last night. How
is the portrait coming on?"

only one or two more sittings, at the

Agnes seemed slightly embarrassed
by the fiXity of her fathers search

OUR TROOPS GET AN INCREASE
Pnymaster's Department Stretches
IL Point in Favor of the Fight
ers in the Fnr East.

Washington, July i9.-An imports
ant question in connection with the
payment of troops on Chinese service
has been decided by the paymaster
general of the war department. An
act of congress last May provided for
a 10 per cent. increase of pay of otli-
GERS engaged iH>scri{ce in our insuDar
possessions and 20 per cent. in
crease for enlisted men over and above
the amount provided for in time of
peace.
The pay department will hold, re-
garding the troops now in China. that
where regiment is getting % per
cent. of its men disabled in a single
engagement, it is doing war duty,
whatever may be the diplomatic view
of the situation. This secures for the
enlisted men their 20 per cent. in
crease, although it will not affect the
officers

LAND DUE THE STATE.
The CannI Commission Makes Dis
co,ery which May Net the
state SI35.OOO.

Columbus. o., july 19.--Tne canal
commission has made the discovery
thut there is due from the federal
government TO Ohio about $4,000
worth of land. This claim is based
ON land scrip issued by the govern
ment in lieu of swamp land used in
bestowing bounty upon soldiers OF
the war of 1872 and the Mexican war.
The federal government authorities
have previously ruled that this land
can not he selected by state outsioe
of it's own borders.
Unless tins ruling shall be modified,
the Ohio canal commission has decid-
ed TO bring suit to have the United
States supreme court decide the mat
ter. The commission is willing to
take title to 1000 acres at the Mer-
Ger reservoir, but wants to go out
side of the state for the balance, then
sell this land and turn The money into
the state treasury. Canal Commits
sioner II. w. Blacltly left for WASH

RID OF \ LOAD.

RID OF \ LOAD.
The San Antonio Express. demo
cratic. says that the democrats who
will join the republicans in express
ions of qualification over the defeat
of Congressman Lentz of Ohio. are
many. Such men as he and Altgeld. OF
Illinois. and Pettigrew of South Da-
kota. could never be credit to any
part. says the Express. and in the last
campaign they were a pretty heavy
load for the democratic party TO carry.
BIG LAND DEAL.
Sugg Bros. of San Angelo. have
closed the largest land deal that has
been made in that section for years.
BY this deal they become owners of
1877 900 acres of land. heretofore owned
by the Houston & Texas Central rail
road company. The land lies in Iron
and Tom Green counties and includes
much of the best grazing portion OF
that country. Sugg Bros. were already
one of the leading ranch firms of that
country and with this added domain
they will likely take the lead.
MORE SMALLPOX.
Smallpox has broken out in a well
developed form near Heath in Rock
wall county. There are ten cases in
one family about one mile south of
Heath and several other cases are in
that neighborhood. The doctor who
was called to see the cases pronounce
them genuine smallpox. These cases
have been exposed to a number of peo-
pie who thought the disease was chick
ell pox. The county health officer is
taking steps to prevent the spread of
the disease but there is great fear
that il has already been badly scatter
ed over that section of the country.
