Star" to be proud of.

the Texas Land Agency, died at
his home in Austin, on the 4lh,

Two hundred millions surplus
funds in the treasury and the
United States paying interest on
bonds, looks a little queer.
"Uncle" George Brinsfiold, of
Izard county, Arkansas, claims
to be 100 years old, and he has
been helping in a protected meet-
ing at Viola.
Judges over the state seem de-
termined to have grand jurys to
investigate thoroughly the charge
that attorneys over the state are
soliciting practice.
The Banner, as usual, is very
correct: "It's difference of
opinions that makes several
newspapers where there should
be only one. Fact."

The east room of the White-
house, is being re-carpeted for

of carpeting for laying and
matching.

Under the caption of "A Mod-
ern Amazon," is given a novel
robbery: "A physician, infirm
and old, is called to attend the
daughter of a Mr. and Mrs.
Gregory, the daughter recovered
and the physician was paid fifty-
five dollars for his services.
While on his way home, the
mother, "habited in the attire of
a warrior, her face well blacked,
a musket on her shoulder and
two or three pipe stems thrust in
her mouth, with the intrepidity
of a Joan of Arc, intercepted him
while passing through a swamp,
seized his bridle with one hand,
and his pocket which contained
the money with the other, and
never relaxed her hold till she
had torn away the pocket and
secured its contents." The phy-
sician made oath to the above,
and the mother was arrested and
jailod. In the trial court the
the justice of the inferior court
reiused to accept the securities
offered for her appearance at
court, when the husband of the
President Roosevelt
oath about 2 o'clock, in the after-
noon of Sept. 14th, and on the
1st of October, received his first
salary check, for the sum of $2,-
017.74, ihe pay of a president of
the United States for seventeen
days.
It is indeed gratifying to see
that every tax roll filed with the
State comptroller of public ac-
counts shows the most wonderful
increase in the value of property
assessed in every part of the
Lone Star State without any ex-
ception whatever.
Heretofore the apportonment
to the old ex-confederate vetiran
was only $6.15 per capita. The
comptroller's department an-
nounces that under the new law
it will be $7.66, per capita per
quarter, or $1.50 more than under
the old law. The department
estimates the number of pen-
fioners in the state, at 6,600.
woman, "and an unprincipled
band attached to his interest,
seized one of the judges as he
was about to return to bis home,
dragged him from his horse, dis-
located his hip, and left him half
dead upon the ground, injuring
him so badly he was confined to
his bed &t the court house for
days, incapable of returning to
his family ."
The editor notes the adjourn-
ment of the General Assembly,
"after a session of 45 days, the
longest that had been held for
20 years, in which were passed
40 laws of a public, and 91 of a
local nature."
The editor mentions, with re-
gret the repeal of the act for the
relief of honest debtors, but
glad that the new act "provides
that creditors shall pay the ex-
penses of his debtor for the first
twenty days, provided the debtor
be unable himself to pay them."
A reportjof the proceedings of
the first session of the Seven-
teenth congress, in which resolu-
tions were submitted for consider-
ation: That the committee on
public lands be instructed to in-
quire into the expedincy of estab-
lishing Land Office at Fort
Wayne, Ind.; pititione present-
ed asking for a uniform system
of bankruptcy; petition for in-
habitants of West Florida pray-
ing to be annexes, to tho State
of Alabama, which was referred
to a select committee; The
Secretary of the Treasury was
asked for a report as to how
mnch of the amount of fines im-
posed on the Militia of Pennsyl-
vania for non-performance of
Military duly in the late war
with Great Britain, had beon
recieved by the Marshals and
their deputies and how much had
been paid into tho Treasury,
whether suit had been instituted
•tc.; the speaker presented a
communication from the Navy
Department, estimating the ad-
ditional expense of examining
the different harbors belonging
to the United States in the Pa-
cific Ocean, and transporting 150
tons weight of artillery to the
the mouth of the Columbia river,
at $25,000; on motion, communi
cation was referred to select
committee.
The editor notes, witnessing
"the no less uncommon than
gratifying sight of several flat-
bottomed boats, laden with pro-
duce from the country high up on
thr Missouri, descending the
Mississippi, destined for New
Orleans. These boats compose
the van of a much greater num-
ber, that are on their way down
from /{nonstick settlements. The
fertile and extensive district of
country, up the Mississippi, call-
ed the It /fir, r settlements, is
also making considerable ship-
ments, particularly of Tobacco,
which is found to be exceeding-
ly well adapted to that soil."
A school advertisement, shows
charges, first class $15 per
quarter; second, $12 and third,
per quarter.
A number of legal advertis-
ments, over the signature of the,
sheriff, advertise negroes for ^
sale, to satisfy executions, etc.
One Richard Masons, adver-
tises that he has •'established
himself as an Inn Keeper, and
hopes for attention to his profes-
sion, he will meet with such en-
couragement as he deserves."
itiU reward is offered for de-
serter from the U. S. Arsenal, I
near Augusta, Ga.
General Thomas Glasscok is
announced as a candidate for
Congress.
An interesting article from the
American Farmer, on the "Art
of Making Good Bacon." Also
an article scoring a bachelor
congressman for making a motion
"to alter the rules of the House,
so as to admit ladies to a seat on
the floor," the article saying,
"it is exceedingly painful for us
to differ, on a proposition hav-
ing in view the comfort and
convenience of the ladieB * * *
but the fact is, the ladies are al-
ready entitled to seats in the
spacious and well furniahed
gallery, and the consequence of
meeting there on the floor in a
national point of view, may be
very precarious. It is incred-
ible how much influence the
ladies already possess, not only
in the drawing rooms, but in
higher and more masculine de-
partments. I would sooner have
their interest and co-operation
at an election, than that of a
dozen stump orators at a public
meeting. If we talk about a
candidate for President, Gover-
nor, Senator, Minister, *( cetera,
how customary it is to say, 'what
charming women they have for
wives, and all buck tail*,.'
Now we do not decry this in-
fluence, nor feel a remote desire
to abridge it when it is controlled
by decorum, and pursued with
discretion. Heaven be praised,
we have no Madam Pompadours,
who issue orders to field Mar-
shals at their toilettes; no madam
Clarks, having charge of a port
folio of blank commissions; nor
Dutchesses of Ossuha, controll-
ing the destinies of a nation. But
we must guard against the effect
of an influence sometimes too
powerful to resist. All husband*
obey their wives, or ought to
obey them, and love them too.
A very interesting sensible wo-
man takes a fancy to a very
pleasant handsome beau,

office at the disposal of her hus-
band, who, obeying the public
wish, and the recommendation of
his political friends, designs the
office for an honest, capable, ugly
little gentleman; but the caresses
and the winning eloquence of a
pair of coral lips and languish-
ing blue eyes, reverse tho deci-
sion of judgment, and givo the
prize to beauty—Here is one re-
sult of political influence and
power, centered in a lady's dim-
ples; and besi les how often do
puppies take advantage of this
tender confidence? Bill Whiffle
whishes an office, and while per-
fuming his whiskers, and draw-
ing on his Woodstock Gloves,
swears, "that he will carry the
day, pon honor, for he will make
love to the wife." Men in promi-
nent situations, should fortify
themselves againRt the effect of
these political blandishments; the
influence we repeat, is sometimes
irresistable, and therefore dang-
erous."
Near Wharton, Cyrus Hoover
has been following the life of a
fisherman. Recently two young
men went out target shooting.
Without seeing Hoover one of
the men fired across the river
a 38-calibre rifle. Both observ-
ed a man rise and fall backward.
One went for a physician, while
tho other brought tho wounded
man to his side in a skiff. He
was kindly taken in charge by
citizens, but although under
skillfuljtreatment, he died next
morning. The ball entered the
soventh rib and was taken out
below the right nipple. Tho
dead man claimed to have five
sisters in Montague connty. and
had above $7(1 in his pocket when
he was found.
That was a wholesale killing
near Larisso, Cherokee county.
C. C. Bass, without warning shot
and instantly killed a man named
Baxter. A man named Killough
asked Bass why he did it, and
Bass killed Killough. When a
posse got close to Bass to arrest
him he turned his pistol on him-
self and committed suicide. All
the men had large families.
