Charming, Texas: Music wash
es from the soul the dust of every
day life." To find an entertain
ment that gives a great amount OF
real pleasure to everybody in the
audience is something seldom done;
but this was realized in the pro-
gram rendered by the Amphions.
There was not a dull number in
their list, which was varied enough
to give each person present a
taste of the special kind of music
most pleasing to himself. The
quartette is a success either in
their solo work or ensemble. The
blending of their voices as they
ranged from great volume to the
softness of the evening breeze was
such as to fill the audience with
delight. We hope to have the
Amphions with US again.

Introduction.

The Amphion Male Quartette
occupies an enviable position in
the Lyceum world. The aristoc-
racy of pure musical genius per-
vades this rare organization. Each
gentleman is an artist in his own
right, resulting in a perfect balance
to the whole ensemble, whose del ;
icate shading and tone-color is
equaled only by unusual dynamic
power. All that music lovers ex-
pect in brilliant rendition, sus-
tanned power and faultless blend
ing is realized by the Amphions.

skating rink Monday nigt. Tickets

HEARST IN OIL LANDS.
Heads Syndicate With keenc and
Purchases Big Tract
i'm Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO. Nov. 26.-It
is declared that during the coming
year a fight on large scale will be
waged in the Republic of Mexico for
control of the local oil market and
of the rich fields which experts de-
clare will be opened mp. The chief
contestants in this struggle will be
the Standard Oil company and T.
Pearson & Sons Limited. an English
corporation.
New companies. however, are CON
stantly acquiring immense tracts,
although most of this is being done
quietly. One company has acquired
concessions from the Federal Gov
ernment and from chihuahua to ex-
plore 10000 acres of land in the
eastern part of the state. II is stat
ed that a syndicate headed by W. r.
Hearst and James r. Keene has ac-

JUDGE BROWN
ARRIVES
WILL OPEN TERM OF DISTRICT
COURT THIS MORNING-PAR-
TIAL AND POSSIBLY FULL RE-
PORT OF GRAND JURY TODAY

Judge George T. Brown arrived in
the city last evening and took apart
ments at the Hayes Park Green ho-
tel, where he will stop during the
term of the district court which he
will open at the court house this
morning
The length of the session cannot as
vet be determined. There are a num-
ber of important actions coming up
and the time they will consume is a
matter of entire uncertainty. How
ever, Judge Brown has record for
disposing of his dockets with much
celebrity and of being tireless
worker
Interesting the public most large
u at the present time is the proba-
bic report of the grand Jury. which
has been at work since the special
session of court held in the district
last month by Judge Brown. The
grand jury during the time has held
number of sessions and is thought
to have been pretty busy. Just what
it has been doing is entirely un-
known, though there are rumors that
1t has gone extensively into the mat
ter of the reindexing of the county
records and that il will devote an
important portion of its report to
that piece of business.
When the grand jury will file its
report is not known. II may do SO
today, but this is not deemed proba-
BILE, although a partial report is very
likely TO go in this morning. This
will deal with criminal cases, in all
likelihood, which the jury has had
time to dispose of since empaneled.
Putting of this business before the
court at this time will enable its dis
posa without delay and will much
facilitate rapid procedure.
