Governor Culberson does not propose to
surrender his scalp to the conspirator
without a fight. It is authoritatively an-
nounced that he will begin to turn loose
his artillery on iSan Jacinto day.

The muich-talked-of slugging match for
the championship of the world has been
successfully “pulled off” on Mexican soil
and the question at issue between the
pugilists is definitely settled.
But there are others.

her in the supposed 'belief that he could
successfully defend it is now in the pos-
session of Robert Fitzsimmons, some-
times referred to as the “Kangaroo.”
Mr. Godbett has announced his purpose
to reclaim it and his challenge has been
sent out through the medium of the Asso-
ciated Press, aconmpanied by a long string
of the usual prizefighter braggadocio and
slang, belying his assertion that there
■must be no long-winded talk about it,
since he rushes into print to provoke the
very thing he assumes to condemn. Cor-
bett says he means business and this
should have led him to send his chal-
lenge direct to the man 'he wishes to
meet. Fie seems to realize that the public
'has grown thoroughly tired of “long-
winded” prizefights, ye't he takes advan-
tage of the earliest opportunity to renew
the wind-jamming business. The truth
is, it is not fight, but advertisement, that
Coilbet't wants to help him along in the

to pull off a fight, which lasted just one
minute after the disputants got together.

AN INJUNCTION.
Mrs. Emma Hanze today in the district
court filed application for injunction
against Joseph Angsten and the sheriff
of Galveston county, restraining the sale
of lots 193 and 206 in section 2 on Galves-
ton island by7 authority of execution is-
sued by the county court in favor of said
Angsten for $533.15. Plaintiff alleges in
her application that the property is her
homestead and is not subject to a forced
sale.
ATTACHMENT SUIT.
H. Kempner'in the district court today
filed suit and attachment against D. W.
McGlasson of Bell county. Plaintiff al-
leges that on Jan. 10, 1895, defendants de-
livered to the firm of H. Kempner six
promissory notes as follows: Sept. 15,
1895. $1000, and the same year as follows:
$1500, Oct. 3; $1500, Oct. 23; $1500, Nov. 11;
$1500, Dec. 2; $1500, Dec. 27. The defend-
ant alleges that defendants McGlasson &
Co. signed and delivered to plaintiff cot-
ton contracts in consideration of an ad-
vance of $10,000 and promised to con-
sign to plaintiff all cotton handled by7
them aggregating not less than 1000 bales
from Jan. 22, 1895, to Jan. 1, 1896. Plaint-
iff further alleges that defendants
shipped then: but 732 bales, leaving a
shortage of 268 bales. Under contract
as agreed defendant 'was to pay7 plaintiff
$1.25 for every bale short, for which
plaintiff sues, the claim amounting to
$335 on cotton contract, and also sues to
recover on notes. Attachment papers
have been sent to Bell 'and other counties.

M. T. in the New York iSun and antici-
pates as follows: “Let us not call Pro-
fessor Roentgen’s discovery a ‘chance’;
call it the result of persistent investiga-
tion on lines suggested by the quickened
conception of the fin de siecle intelligence
of man. And on this basis let us lay
down the broad proposition that there
are-no ‘fixed natural laws,’ but that cer-
tain conditions exist only because we
have not accomplished their overthrow
and that concerted and intelligent attack
upon any of the so-called laws will secure
the accomplishment of ends scarcely
dreamed of. Having this in mind, Why
should not we bombard the co-cal!ed fun-
dametal law of gravitation? There is ab-
solutely no reason why it can not be ocer-
come as well as that other ‘law’ just rent
in twain by Professor Roentgen. One of
these days some quiet investigator will
announce to the startled millions that hs

of the earth) and can soar at will, under
perfect control, without the aid of gas

Galveston is reaching out for some ot
the political state conventions, she has.
already several other 'conventions of a
different sort in prospect, and an effort is
being made to provide proper hall ac-
coimimodations for them.
It is not to be inferred from this that
Galveston is not now provided with fa-
cilities for the accommodation of such
public gatherings as may be expected to
(come here, but there is always room for
improvement. Galveston needs, and, it is
believed, will soon have a suitable build-
ing devoted to the uses of public gather-
ings and the entertainment of the public,
more especially during the summer sea-
son.
The first of the large gatherings an-
nounced for this year ■will be the good
roads convention to be held on May 22
and if the work of constructing the new
auditorium is begun at once and pushed
iwith vigor it may foe completed in ample
time for the first of the spring and sum-
mer conventions. The attendance upon
the good roads convention is expected to
foe very large, because of the fact that
there will be, in connection with it, a
meeting of the wheelmen of the state to
the number of several hundred. The
matter ought to be pushed with all possi-
ble energy and vigor.

The esteemed Tribune of Galveston
prints a .partial list of the attendants at
the sound money .convention, giving their
1892 predilic^ons, as between Hogg and
Clahk. Colonel James U. Vincent is set
down as having been for Hogg and the
columns oif the Age are open to him for
reply.—Houston Age.
The .Tribune gave the Hogg and Clark
■preferences of 1892 as they "were remem-
bered, not pretending they 'were exactly
stated. The purpose was to contradict
the statement made in a north Texas
paper that the gathering represented only
the Democratic faction that suipported
the Turner hall ticket in 1892. The fact
is, the conference was nearly equally
■made up of the Hogg and Clark forces
of the memorable campaign referred to
and the issue altogether different.
ABYSISINIAN WAR.
New York, N. Y„ Feb. 22.—A special
to the Herald from Rome says the news-
paper, Don Marsio, declares that the posi-
tion of General Barateri, co-mmander-in-
chief of the Italian trioops now operating
in Abyssinia, is the same as that ot
Marshal Bazaine in Metz during the
Franieo-German war.
King Menelik, itoadds, is prepared to
drive the Italians from Adigrat and bring
about an ItaliankSedan.
The ministry has ’decided to send fur-
ther reinforcements a.nid has authorized
(Signor Crispi, the prime minister, to fix
the number of troops to be dispatched.
General Lambert! has
prominent merchants at Massowah
spies. They will probably be shot.
FRENCH CRISIS ENDED.
Paris, Feb. 22.—'Most of the newspa-
pers regard the conflict between the min-
istry and the chamber of deputies, on the
one hand and the senate on the other, as
ended. Moderate Republicans praise the
wisdom oif the senate in baffling the hopes
of the enemies of the republic, and the
Socialists and Radicals declare the sen-
ate capitulated, fearing a revision of the
constitution, which, however, is held to
be inevitable. Conservatives maintain
that the senate will finally win.
BOER REPUBLIC..
New York, N. Y., Feb. 22.—A special
to the Herald from London says: The
Natal Times (claims to 'have the 'best au-
thority for the statement that the South
African republic will on February 27,
the 15th anniversary olf the Boer victory
over the British under General Ooley at
Majuba Hill, proclaim its independence.
RABI’S DEATH.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 22.—A special
to the Herald from Havana, Cuba, says:
Advices are received here from Jiguana
oif tihe report of the death of the well
known rebel chief, Jose Rabi. His death
is said to have resulted from tetanus,
caused by a wound received in a recent
battle.
DE LOME’S OPINION.
Madrid, Fdb. 22—The Spanish minister
at Washington, Senor Dupuy de Lome,
replying to an inquiry on the subject,
has telegraphed that he regards it im-
possible that the United States should
recognize the Cuban insurgents as bel-
ligerents.
A LOST SUN.
A writer in the Popular Monthly, far
from confining^himself to the cool facts
of the case, invents a new sun story:
“That our town solar system has now
but one central sun is no reason what-
ever that it did not at one time have
two. The very fact of there being dis-
covered what are known as double stars
(suns), is a very good proof that every
other solar system in the universe is not
-always like our own as regards the num-
ber of their suns—in on uni-solar con-
dition; and there can be little, if any,
doubt that the coal measures now to be
found deposited in our earth were made
during a period when our solar system
had two central suns, and it is reason-
able to suppose that a secondary sun in
our solar system, if it should have re-
volved in close proximity to our earth,
must have sooner or later converted the
earth’s vegetation into coal.” If this sup-
positious gasburner “revolved in close
proviimity to the earth,” it wcrald be more
correct to call it a live moon than a cen-
tral sun. Since it has admittedly disap-
peared, it may, after forming the earthlj
coal measures, have gone through them
in the convenient form of cathode rays
and found itself a new home in the cen-
ter of the earth.
These Are Suggestions of Value to
Any Reader at the Present Time.
“If you are going to make an invest-
ment, you look carefully and learn the
value of the thing in which you are about
to invest. Is this not so?”
“If you are run down, sickly, weak,
suffering from a severe cold, rheumatism
or other complaint, ylou feel that you
■must invest in something to restore you
to health and happiness. ’
“'Can you not see that such an invest-
ment is more important than any other,
■and can you not see that securing the
best, most reliable, and that which has
the highest standing and best indorse-
ments is always the (best investment?”
“There has never been a remedy before
the world, which, for the cure of the
diseases of this season, female weakness-
es, Rheumatism, kidney and liver troubles
and even Bright’s disease itself, has ever
been equal to 'that greatest o>f all known
remedies, Warner’s Safe Cure. It has
accompli she'd more than any other known
preparation and occupies a standing in
medical scliemee wholly by itself and
above any ordinary remedy.”
“'This great preparation has been in-
dorsed by the leading medical men of the
various countries of. Europe, America,
Australia and even India. It is beyond
question the most popular oif modern
remedies and lit deserves its popularity
fully.”
The above simple and direct -words are
laid before you in order that you may
avail yourself of the suggestions they
may contain, if you so desire.

WARSHIP KENTUCKY’S APPEAL.
Hark ye,
Ye naval experts,
Let me speak, though yet so young,
I would not that you frame me as -
You frame my sister ships;
For there is that
In my great name demanding change.
Launch me,
When I am launched,
In water that is salt,
For water that is fresh
Kentucky disesteems.
Let all the decks
Which cover me
Be cold,
For those are they
Kentucky loves;
No turrets place about my form
Armed with those rifled guns,
But let hip-pockets -take their place,
With Colt’s revolvers stuck therein;
Keep seagrass from my hull
When I’m afitfat,
For Bluegrass
Is Kentucky’s pride,
And that she floats in
To her chin.
No donkey engines run on me,
For 1 am used to thoroughbreds,
And when they run
Kentucky’s glad.
When I am flagged
Give me three stacks
Of Red and White and Blue,
And let me fly them at tne fore
And victory is mine.
These are Kentucky’s colors,
And by them
United will she stand.
Now, hark ye, experts,
This or naught:
When you do christen me
Kentucky, sirs, let
No champagne be used,
Nor -other deadly drug,
Nor fatuous and vapid stuff;
But chirs-ten me-
With juice of corn
In ancient, unctions, amber gold:
Old Bourbon Whisky, sirs,
So mellow in its age,
So fragrant in perfume,
So smooth in liquid grace
That patriots would weep
To lose a drop in any but this sacred
cause.
Thus will the name you give me fit;
And for that name
I’ll make a record on the seas
Not less than now it is
Upon the land!

is pure, rich, and full of vitality, the

Last summer, three years later, her face

it was almost a running sore all over her

“I have taken four bottles of Hood’s

feel better than I have for years.” MRS.

Memphis Scimetar: Only a few months
ago the Hon. William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska was making a raid through
the south in the interest of the 50Jcent
silver do-liar and calling on Democrats
to fire out of the party fold all who re-
fused to beu'd the knee to the pale god
of the miiniiifg camps. Fie then posed as
the champion par excellence of the only
pure and original Democracy. Later he
was repudiated by the party in Nebraska,
in a t-es’t vote taken at the state election
to determine the comparative 'Strength of
the sound money and freesilver factions.
'Then this missionary for the mine owners
disappeared from public view for a time.
But n/ot for long. There are doubtless
business reasons why he can not afford to
keep quiet. S'o he bobs up again in an
open letter to Senator Tillman of South
Carolina and other Democratic senators.
In '1 his letter the retired and discredited
statesman reveals himsedf fully in the
role of an attorney 1'cr the crowd that
has silver bullion to sell, tie inquires if
there are not 11 Democrats in the senate
who will pool their issues with the five
Populists and force the Republican ma-
jority to pass a free coiniage bill in order
to secure the passage of a tariff revision
bill ever a veto.
In brief, this corrupt demagogue pro-
poses that Democratic senators shall
aba ml on t he time-honored position of t he
party on the tariff—a posiition upon which
the party is fully agreed—for the pur-
pose of passing a measure to which a
large and influential contingent of the
party is unalterably opposed. And for
■what? Why, that Mr. Bryain’s clients
may'get the chance to turn every 50
cents’ worth of their silver bullion into a
legal tender dollar.

THREE 'LITTLE ’FRAID CATS.
3 ' I! -------
Three little kittens in coats so gray,
Went out with the old mother cat one
day.
Said the first little kitten, “If we only
might see
A monstrous’great rat, what fun it would
be!”
Said the next little kitten, “I’d seize hold
of his head,
And bite him and squeeze him until he
was dead.”
Said -the third little kitten, “Should I see
a rat, - e,
I’d eat 'him all up in much less time than
that.”
Suddenly something jumped out of the
wood—
All three turned and ran as fast as they
could,
And never once stopped -till they came to
their house;
Yet it wasn’t rat, but a wee baby mouse.
It was caught and then eaten by Old
Mother Cat.;
Said the three little kittens, “Now just
think of that!”
