Al the Opera House.

The Ashley Rush company gave
quite clever production of "Do-
mestic Blizzard" at the opera house
last night. The play was a lively
farce comedy, clean and wholesome
and kept the audience in an uproar
of laughter from the time the cur
tain went up until the ending of the
last act. Among those deserving of
special mention is Ed Summers, in
the character of John Davis, one of
the principals in a little domestic
drama. The part of Mrs. Davis
was well played by Lea Mode.
Caroline Klohr made quite hit as
Lillian Tussell, the prima donna.
The other parts were cleverly han
cIed by capable people.
The bill for this evening Is high
class melo-drama, entitled Wealth
and Poverty"

NEW TOP PRICE ON CALVES


The local cattle market was steady
to a shade easier yesterday. Some
sales at very satisfactory prices
were made, while some were not
quite what they should have been In
the estimation of the sellers. The
features of the market were the big
run of cattle, which was record
breaker, and the new top price for
calves. The cattle receipts were
23i5 head, the bulk of them being
grassers from the Sou thwest.
Among them were 234 calves that
brought s5.I5, the best price ever
paid on this market. They averaged
223 pounds and were shipped in by
Ed Laseter of Realities, Duval
county, a little south Of west of
Corpus Christi. They were about
two months old and had been fed
in addition to running with their
mothers.
The hog market was steady, with
number of good $&ies meda as
there was a larger percentage of
good stuff among the offerings than
usual, and good quality is always
assared of good price on this mar
ket. Top sales were at g. 40, which
was cents higher than at Kansas
City and cents less than at st.
Louis, showing better market
than nc either of those points for
Southwestern business. Receipts
were about go. Fort Worth Regis

IN HE west as we'll as the east was
in an uproar during the month
Of July, 1863. In the east Lee
was in the heart of Pennsylva.
MIA; in the west John Morgan, the raid
er, was making his cyclonic swoop
across Indiana and Ohio to the Penn
sylvania border. In opposition to the
wishes of his chief the rash cavalry
chieftain galloped far into the, enemy
country. General Basil Duke, the right
hand man of Morgan, asserts that his
leader intended to join forces with Lee
in Pennsylvania. He sent spies to ex.
anime the fords of the upper Ohio for
that purpose.
In his conferences with his officers
Morgan admitted the dangers in the
way of his enterprise; but his enthu-
siasm overcame all caution. With the
brigades Of A. r. johnson and Basil
Duke he crossed the Cumberland riv-
er into Kentucky the I'd of July, the
second day Of the battle Of Gettysburg.
His force comprised 2,4OO troopers.
with six pieces of, horse artillery. The
crossing was made under the eyes of
General Judah's Federal cavalry. Ju.
dab didn't think the raiders would
breast the flooded waters, but Nor
CAMS way was to do just what the foe
least expected. When Judah woke up
and tried to interfere with the crossing
the raiders ambushed his head of. COL
umn and chased the whole cavalcade
back to camp.
Morgan's first and only repulse was
at the bridge over Green river Colo
mel Moore held the post with the Twen-
ty-ifth Michigan and when summoned
to yield answered.: Its a bad day to
surrender. I'd rather not" The day
was the Fourth Of July. The raiders
charged CALAMITY, but after losing fifty
men Morgan gave it up.
The first halt in Indiana was at vi
emma. The raiders seized the telegraph,
