An exchange criticises its opera

company, the pubic and the paper
and gives good reasons. The COM
pany as the result of the contrary
manager had a poor house 20 play
to, the public is denied the oppor-
tunity OF attending a good play
and The paper not only loses The
revenue it is entitled to but also
loses its value as to reliability in
announcing things.
We have v taken this opera
house matter very seriously al
though our columns are not used
to advertise any play. And even
though our columns have been re-
peatedly offered free to announce
any special attraction the manage
ment has neglected to use them.
1t may be good business 20 ignore
a paper with a small circulation
and high rate, but how our manag-
ers can come TO The conclusion chat
they can ignore a paper with che
circulation and standing OF this
paper, we don't understand. l.

their part.
We have an idea that If first2lass

properly advertised The opera

Another Snake Story.

John Rice, our friend of the
Pinnacle Gap farm, who told that
wonderful story about the snake
that swallowed a nest OF eggs
and wrapped itself about a sap
ling to crush the shells, is credited
with another story of no less inter-
est. No one doubts the veracity
OF the man, and so we readily sub
NIT the new story to our readers,
confident that it is true. He says
that one day he found a big snake
in the road and that he quickly dds
patched his s~nakeship by cutting
it's head off with an AK. He then
picked the snake up by the tail and
shook it, whereupon fourteen big
Irish potatoes rolled out upon the
ground. What do you think Of

Prison Cruelty in Texas.

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 5.-The leg
islative committees investigation
OF the state penal institutions and
treatment of convicts on the farms,
as we'll as in prisons, reveals the
fact that more than fifty convicts
have been killed by cruelties and
whippings in the last three years.
The record may be larger, but the
board of inquiry finds it almost i'm
possible to get the evidence from
the convicts whom they examine.
The majority of the convicts who
could give positive evidence OF
specific ase of cruelty are afraid
to tell because they fear they will
incur the hatred of the guards at
the penitentiaries and on the con-
vict farms and plantations. AS
illustrating this point a long term
convict, with an excellent prison
record, admitted before the COM
mittee today that ne had seen at
least three whippings, the victims
Of which lived only a few days
after the punishment. But he beg
ged not to be forced to give the
evidence.
