Without Any of the
Features.
A bull fight, without any of
the cruel features, will bo one of
the attractions of the Maifest.
Chief T. F. Matcliett has con-
tracted with Capt. Carleton Bass
and Jose Narvaez, of Madrid,
Spain, two famous bull fighters
for an exhibition each day of the
Maifest.
They come with letters of rec-
ommendation from various offi-
cials all over Texas, even from
the Humane Society, that the
performance is one of daring,
skill and hairbreath escapos, but
without cruelty or bloodshed.
Capt. Bass has a costume
which cost #800 which he wears
in the arena. f'his costume will
be put on exhibition at some
show window around towri, to
show that it is no cheap tinsel
covered arrangement, but
trimmed in real gold lace.

liam Dunovant shot and killed by

The sale of stands for the Mai-
fest occurred Tuesday afternoon
in front of the court house, but

for $6.50.
Chili and tamale stand, $20.50.
The egg-throwing privilege,

A Costly Show Off.
Manuel Hopkins and Abner
Branch, two well known Bren-
hain negroes enlisted in the
United States army a few days
ago, and passing through Bren-
ham Tuesday night on route to
Fort Riley, Kansas, decided to
get the conductor to fix their
tickets so that they could stop
off here and show off to those of
their old acquaintances who
have so much reverence for blue
uniforms and brass buttons.
They had scarcely blowed in
the $1.50 allowance of the gov-
ernment for grub, en route, be-
fore Constable Joe B. Guyton
and Mr. Burney Parker took
Abner Branch to jail on a charge
of gaming, the last grand jury
having returned an indictment
against him. Some of his rela-
tives put up $47 for line and cost
and the now soldiers left on the
noon Santa Fe Wednosday.

The Winnsboro Daily Adver-
tiser says : "The benefit con-
cert given by the pupils of Prof
Cohn, for his benefit, at the
Henry Grady Hall last night was
a wonderful success. The music
was far superior to any ever
heai'd in Winnsboro, and the
songs were greatly enjoyed by
all. We should be proud of our
band and its members. Very
few places in Texas have a bet-
ter band, and perhaps none have
a better teacher. The receipts
for the night were about $40."

The
Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lego. team sprung a surpriscron
Varsity today and let them down
without a hit or run, only one
runner having reached first and
that on four wobbly ones. Tho
final score was 1 to 0 in favor of
the college team, which gives an
idea of the splendid game played.
Smith did tho remarkable twirl-
ing for the college and struck
out ten batters. Shands and
Graham pitched for 'Varsity.
This team will cross bats with
the Navasota team here on the
occasion of the Maifest May 18th
and 10th.
THE WEATHER.
Nbvv Orleans, May 10.—To-
night and Thursday scattered
showers and thunder storms.
Cline.
Tho board of county com-
missioners is still in session, but
had only routine business be-
fore it today.
The commissioners have taken
no official notice of Mr. C. B.
Metcalf's proposition in refer-
ence to his claim.
General regret is expressed
here that the Eldridge-Dunovant
affair has resulted in another
tragedy.
Miss Sue Pinkney, of Hemp-
stead, is out in a card in which
she says that tho Hempstead
feudist haVe not buried the
hatchet. \

It may have been a mere coin-
cidence, but while the editorial
assocition was in convention in
Charleston, the Charleston News
and Courier printed this sugges-
tive little paragraph:
"Now and then a visitor ar-
rives in this town whose nose
has apparently had thirty yearB
training in detecting the lairs of
"blind tigers." Sometimes such
visitors arrive in droves."
