mon returned from San An

LultOF LINES. MdICuS OId-
mon returned from San An
tonia, Texas, yesterday morning
He says he had a fine trip.
Left Omaha, Nov. 20, went via
Kansas City, thence to Parsons,
Kansas. From there to Denni-
son, Texas, where he spent
part of a day sightseeing, then
to San Antonio, where he spent
five days. Sunday, Nov. Is, he
went to Calera, Mexico, to see
a Mexican bull fight. He says
the first part consisted of blind
folding the horse on left eye.
The Mexican then mounts the
horse and rides up to the bull
with a dagger in one hand, a
red cloth in the other, wav-
ing the cloth until the bull be-
came enraged. When the bull
made his jump at the horse,
the Mexican lanced him with
his three foot lance, but his
aim not being good, the bull
gored and killed the horse in
stantly. The rider fell and the
bull then started for him, but
the Mexican's assistants inn
mediately coming up waving
their red banners attracted the
bull to them, and when he
made a jump for them, they
jumped to one side and each
one gave him a jab with a lance
killing him. During the after
Moons fight there were three
horses and five bulls killed.
This seems to be great sport
for these people, there being in
attendance about eight or ten
thousand.
San Antonio is a very pretty
city of about eighty thousand
inhabitants. Through the city
rms the San Antonio river, so
clear you can see the bottom
without any difficulty. 1t is
crossed by fine bridges on the
main streets. The city is beau
tifully lighted up at night by
colored electric lights, with big
arches about every half block.
In the center of the city on a
street named Almo Plaza, name
taken from theAlamo or Mission
in which David Crockett was
killed. This Mission faces the
street and also a large square
to the side of the Mission,
in which you can see hundreds
of people sitting, watching the
people pass by. He left San
Antonio, Tuesday evening,
Nov. q, for Dallas. Texas,
where he arrived at 8 o'clock
the following morning. He
stayed there all that day and
left that evening for Missouri

The Trusts

Our congress and our president
Have spoken 20 the trusts
And said don't sin the people so
They re making too much fuss.
Just wait little, gentlemen,
Well have them all asleep
Then you can shear the working class
Just like lot Of sheep.
We II pass some laws and make then
think
We're going to make you good,
You knowwe would not hurty pards
Not even if we could.
You beef trust men must all clean up
And everything keep neat,
For many people now refuse
To cat your filthy meat.
For laboring- men it's good enough,
Even the poorest grade,
But then you must be careful. boys,
About your foreign trade.
Perhaps a few of you will find
We must you regulate,
But what's the difference to you
For Jones he pays the freight.
And now to railroad men we speak,
You men that own the stock,
With you we want to have chat,
A quiet, friendly talk.
You know you've robbed the laborin,
class
OF millions of their wealth,
But if you keep them hard at work
IT'S better for their health.
Sometimes their want and suffering
Is quite hard to endure,
But then for them its good enough,
For no one should be poor.
But now that people are awake
And making such a kick
We must pretend to do something
And do it mighty quick.
Our congress must a rate law pass,
Twill fool the toiling masses;
You shall to no one give rebate;
You must not issue passes.
OF course the rate law you'll not heec
Just keep your business running,
For railroad men are wide awake
And full of tricks and cunning.
The anti-pass and rebate laws
Will surely be your friends,
For certainly they will increase
Your yearly dividends.
And now to Standard Oil we come,
You men that furnish light,
You know you steal the peoples wealth
You rob them day and night.
Some think we all should own the oil
And do our own refining,
And some think we should own the co;
And also do the mining.
N>oitiS oi'AiAh We CaSiiC W own IiiS lOeaS
And attend to all our shipping
If sentiment like that obtains
You'll feel your business slipping
Now John. we will you prosecute,
Right down on you we'll swoop,
And if 1T costs you something, John,
You'll know how to recoup.
Just raise the price of gasoline
And oil half cent,
The working mules will pay your bill
And all be we'll content.
Now all this stuff we're going to give
To hypnotic the masses
And after they have taken it
They'll work for you like asses.
