case of criminal prosecution has developed
in the arrest of R. Stratton, a citizen of
Kinney county, by United States Marshal
Ware today, on a federal grand jury in-
dictment. Stratton is accused of surrep-
titiously altering his own sealed proposal
for war department supplies last Febru-
ary, whereby he became the lowest bidder
for all the cord wood used at Fort Clark,
Tex., and also for 500,000 pounds of baled
hay. The indictment sets forth that when
the proposals were opened on Feb. 10, 1896,
Stratton had not bid on the items of wood
and baled hay, but that on the following
day he so altered his proposals as to un-
derbid his competitors for this material,
and had thereby secured the contract.
Stratton gave bond for his appearance at
the next term of the federal court.

Night was coming fast, and Texas got
the ball on their 20 yard line, and by
series of heavy bucks worked it down to
Tulane’s five yard line, losing the ball half
a dozen times as they went. Then there
was a rally, and Caperton was pushed
over, but he failed to kick a goal, making
the score 12 to-4 in Texas’ favor./
Texas won by brute strength, but from a
foot ball standpoint were outplayed by Tu-

New Orleans, La., Nov. 14.—The univer-

game today from the Tulanes by a score
of 12 to 4. Capt. Jones handled his men
well, and, seeing where the weak spot
rested in the Tulanes’ line, pounded it in-
cessantly. Caperton, Maytubby and King
behind the line, and Leavel, who also
played half, played havoc with the lighter
rush line of Tulane. Almost every drive
brought five yards gain. Tulane was out-
weighed by 10 pounds, and although their
backs sprinted finely for long gains and
the full back hunted the team out of dan-
ger, the rushes could not be stopped.
The first half closed with a score of 2 to
none in Texas’ favor, Tulane’s punt being
blocked and the ball going over the line,
Maytubby following well.
During the second half Texas punted
out of bounds. Tulane recovered the ball
and carried it in 15 yards, and the ball was
quickly put in play, and Bush, Tulane’s
captain, circled ends for a touch down.
The score was not allowed, it being
claimed Tulane had not carried the ball
far enough.

London, Nov. 14. —An immense crowd
assembled in the vicinity of the Hotel
Metropole today to witness departure of
the motor cars in a race from the Hotel
Metropole to Brighton, 47 miles from Lon-
don, the crush being so great that the
roads were blocked and the police had
considerable difficulty clearing the way.
Fifty cars or carriages started, led by a
pilot landau. The landau was followed
by Levassor's phaeton, which won the1
horseless carriage race from Paris to Mar-
seilles, and then came carriages of various
styles, oil and steam motor cycles, etc.
The spectators were very enthusiastic and
indulged in uproarious cheering as the
motors started. After the Vehicles got
clear of the crowd they went off at a fine
pace. The steering was admirable and
when the carriages became blocked by
the ordinary traffic of the streets their
pace was checked instantly.

Our Customers
Consist largely of that class
— of discerning people
who keep both eyes open.
They know a thing or two. They are smart,
and the “Alecks” who are throwing out
baits to catch them are themselves being
caught. It'happens in this'way: The fellow
who doesn’t know how to run a business
legitimately is occasionally offering them
goods at and below cost. Our customers
are taking in all “snaps” of this sort-
leaving the sucker the bare hook. This is
agreeable to our recommendation under
such circumstances. At- other times we
get their patronage.
Our Business Grows Larger,
our customers prosper, and we work to-
gether in the pleasant bonds of mutuality.
The day of the sucker's success is a thing
of the past. He has blown his horn too
often, and the lambs he formerly led to the
slaughter have “cut their eye teeth” and
are up-to-date business people.

GIN BURNED.
| OUR OLD STAND j
The man who first spoke of the difficulty
of finding a needle in a hay stack evidently
had never been to sea searching for a
steamer with her tail shaft broken. If he
had, he would have given the palm for a
hard job to a search for a ship.
Friday afternoon when the second mate
of the steam ship Melbridge reached here
and reported that vessel broken down 60
miles off Galveston bar there was quite a
scramble among tow boat men for the job.
Tow boats usually don’t forget to charge
for their services under such circum-
stances, and a “bit” like the Melbridge
was worth hustling for. Four hours after
the news came to town of the Melbridge’s
accident, the steam ship Pensacola was on
her way to sea to search for the disabled
steamer and the tug Seminole had pre-
ceded her an hour*, ’
A heavy head wind and sea were on out-
side, but there was a big winning or a
dead loss ahead for the Pensacola’s own-
ers, and the ship was forced along at the
best clip she could go. The mate of the
Melbridge reported her to be southeast of
Galveston when he left her. The schooner
Belle O’Neal, which passed the disabled
steamer after the mate had put off from
her, reported the ship to be east southeast
of the bar and about 65 miles away. Capt.
Simmons steered the course given by the
mate and ran off shore 60 miles. But there
was no sign of a ship there. Sharp look-
outs were kept at the mast head, but not
a light could be seen anywhere. The
Pensacola then loafed around in a circle
where the ship was supposed to be, but
saw nothing save the endless waste of
water. A heavy sea was running, and it
looked as if the fellow in the lookout
would be rolled off the mast and into the
sea. But somehow the fellow managed to
hold on, even if he could not sight the Mel-
bridge. When day finally dawned Capt.
Simmons and Mate Coggins skinned up
the rigging for an official squint around
the horizon. From the bridge of the Pen-
sacola not a ship was in sight. But from
the mast head, with the aid of powerful
glasses, two little specks were made out
way down to the eastward. They were
the tiniest possible specks, but the prac-
ticed eye of the sailor found them out and
the conclusion was jumped at that they
must be the masts' of the Melbridge. So
the Pensacola was jingled up and headed
for the specks. She rapidly overhauled
them and rapidly they rose above the
horizon. But as the specks' grew larger
the hopes of the Pensacola’s crew of giv-
ing a tow line to the Melbridge grew less,
for the little specks developed into the top
sails of a big schooner which was lazily
standing off shore.
The Pensacola’s course was again
changed, and she covered a large area of
old ocean. But a vessel, however big, is
such a little thing when lost on the track-
less sea, that she is by no means easy
to find. But as' no vessels were sighted
bound either in or out of Galveston the
search was vigorously prosecuted until
about noon, when a smoke was picked up
about 15 miles away. The course of the
Pensacola was altered and the ship
headed for the smoke. The two vessels
rapidly neared each other and soon the
tall spars and then the hull of a big steam-
er Were made out. It was easy to see that
she was the Alamo, which sailed for New
York early yesterday morning. She
passed in about a quarter of a mile of the
Pensacola, and as she rushed by an officer
on her bridge waved his cap i'h the direc-
tion of Galveston and gesticulated so as
to kill the last hope of picking up the Mel-
bridge plum. It was evident that some
other ship had fallen in with her and had
been passed by the Alamo as that ship
came out of Galveston. So the Pensacola
was again put about and headed direct for
the bar, reaching her dock at 7 o’clock
after a 22 hour fruitless search.
The Melbridge had anchored right in
the track , of the Mallory boats and the
Concho picked her up early yesterday
morning and towed her into port. She
will repair here and will probably ’be de-
layed until a new shaft can be sent out for
her. The vessel comes to Wm. Parr & Co.
from Rio Janeiro and was lucky in break-
ing down so near port.
IT WON’T GO DOWN.
Republican Congressmen Dodging Office
Seekers in Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14,-The Indiana
Republican congressmen-elect have de-
cided to refer all applications for post
office appointments to the patrons of the
post offices, and elections will be held in
every city and town of the state after
March 4. The congressmen-elect have hit
upon this plan to avoid the responsibility
of making appointments, and will recom-
mend no one who has not received a ma-
jority of votes of the Republican patrons
of the office to which he aspires. This con-
clusion is said to have been reached
through correspondence between the
members-elect, and applicants have been
notified of the fact. In some localities
where the party workers believe they have
performed special services the decision al-
ready is creating much feeling and more
is expected to follow the elections. A Re-

SCHOOL HOUSE FIGHT.
Cold Storage Whisky Brought on an Ele-
gant Row.
Paris, Tex., Nov. 14.—There was a bas-
ket supper for the benefit of the school
house at Monkstown, Fannin county, 35
miles northwest of here, last night, and a
large crowd gathered. A quarrel broke
out. between two neighborhood factions.
A young man named Brownfield began
firing his pistol. Constable Faulkner un-
dertook to arrest him, and Brownfield
mounted his horse and fled, with the of-
ficer in pursuit. Brownfield’s horse ran
through a barbed wire fence, killing the
animal outright and cutting Brownfield so
badly that he will die.
Faulkner’s horse was cut so that he is
worthless and the officer is badly wounded.
In the meantime a general fight ensued, in
which a young man named McDaniel was
terribly beaten over the head with brass
knucks, and several others were more or
less injured.
It was in a prohibition district and cold
storage whisky was the cause.

The Goldbugs Celebrate Their Victory
With an Oyster Roast.
A merry cro-jvd assembled last night at
Woollam’s lake to participate in the sound
money ratification. A great many of the
Strand farmers were present, and guests
of every vocation, from his honor the
mayor up to the smallest fish, attended.
The weather was cool and it took some
time until the inner man was warmed un.
But, oh! oh! How quick the oysters dis-
appeared when served; but there were
enough left to feast all the defeated candi-
dates in Texas.
Charles R. Brown acted as master of
ceremonies.
