REPLAYED DRUNK.
And Robbed a Rockport Citizen of
Eighty Dollars.
Last night about 8 o’clock while
Frank Richter of Rockport was lying
in his bed at the Vienna hotel on
South i street reading the door
was opened and there entered a young
man of tint* appearance who seemed
to be in a very intoxicated condition.
The young man was recognized as
Sol. Morris alias Charles Morris who
hails from New York. The intruder
was told that be had entered the
wrong room but he paid no attention
to Richter aud threw himself on the
bed.
Richter thinking the fellow was
“kinder overloaded” pulled Lita shoes
off for him and let him sleep.
Directly he dropped oft to sleep
but awoke wiih a start about 10
o’clock. He knew not what the
matter was but on looking lor his
bed mate he found him not. His
suspicions were arroused and he pro-
ceeded to examine his clothes in
which he had $80.20 The result of
the search was he found the twenty
cents but the eighty d*>liars were
missing. He started in search for the
missing money. He visited Morris’
room No. 18 but he was not there
and the bed had never been touched
but his things were gone also. Rich-
ter thereupon started for police head-
quarters On the road he met Officer
Springer who instituted a search for
the thief. After inquiring around for
some time he learned he was at the
Southern hotel and there he found
him and made an arrest.
At police headquarters he was
searched and on him were f"8 25. He
had spent 75 cents for a hack. On
being questioned as to his intentions
he said he intended taking the 6:50 I.
& G N. train for the north.
He is a fine looking young man of
fine address and possessing a very
oily tongue. He is at present a guest
of “Hotel de McCall.”
Carrying Out the Fraud
When the Republican and People’s
party judges selected applied to be
sworn in at precinct No. 3 this morn-
ing they were refused. Messrs.
Sanchez and Cardenas told the Peo-
ple’s party folks they had already
selected their judges and clerks and
furthermore they did not. recognize
anyone but Hogg and Clark demo-
crats. To the republican applicants
Mr. Banchez said: “We have already
got our republicans sent by Terrell”
but when asked to name them and
point them out would not d> so.
Bulldozing and all manner of violat-
ing the law is done openly.
Mrs. Alice 3. White
The Houston Post savs: “A society au-
dience greeted Mrs. Alice J. White yes-
terday afternoon in the opera house to
hear her charming lecture on dress. Mrs.
White is graceful attractive and has very
winning ways. Her costumes are “mar-
vels of beauty.” and she onlv requires
three minutes to change h°r dress. The
ladies were so delighted that they fairly
begged tor a repetition. She will enter-
tain an audience at. Rische’s theatre
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
The house ought to be crowded to hear
her no lady can afford to miss it. Ad-
mission 50 cents girls 25cents She will
change her dress eight times 11 8 It
—The election two years ago was
carried with the $400000f money paid
out by the Aransas Pass railway.
Today what they lack in money is
made up iu bulldozing and fraud and
open violations of law. How long
will the people stand it.

third of those registered had voted.
Clear Day Voting Begins Early.
New York N. Y. Nov. B.—As the
day grew on the skies cieared and
at one o’clock not a cloud fleck could
be found above the horizon. Hence
it was that in outlying districts of
the city and West Chester county
where people rise early voting be-
gan early. West Chester county
with its two assembly districts
is now conceded by the democrats
republican by 1300. It is the
home of thousands of New York
City business men who go daily to
and from to business Its largest
town Mont Vernon which lastspring
elected a republican mayor the vot-
ing up to 9 o’clock was nearly up to
normal battot tn the presidential
elections at that hour. New system
of voting delayed deposit of votes
somewhat but voters at the hour
named were on hand and standing
iu long Hues at various polling
places awaiting the tickets. In New
York City the vote began early to
come out and was progressing steadi-
ly on through early hours the new
ballot system retarding the speed of
the work somewha; weather good as
may be judged by telegrams from
three towns representing southern
middleaud western New YorK state.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Having.
The open bold violation of the elec-
tion law by the ringster judges and
clerks has aroused public indig-
nation.
» • *
The law’ may be uncertain in many
particulars but it is plain as to the
duties and responsibilities of the of-
ficers of election. They are amenable
tor violation of its provisions.
The judges who defiantly retuse to
receive tickets printed iu accordance
with the law are guilty of a felony.
The judge who electioneers is guilty
of a felony. The judge who tears up
a ticket because not voted his way is
a candidate for the pen.
• » •
The good citizens of this city have
been treated as dogs they have been
trodden under foot by tbe men who
are the sworn officers of the law will
they stand it?
» • »
Notably in precincts 3 and 4 the
judges dul ail tne voting and in other
precincts the same thing was done.
Cao this thing pass without chal-
lenge. Are there no courts of justice
in tiie laud?
♦ * *
The open fraud of the election is
only a fore runner of the coming city
election. Men who will openly and
defiantly violate the election law as
to voting will have no hesitancy in
counting in their crowd
♦ » •
Popular suffrage is a farce a fraud
a crime if permitted as illustrated in
many ofthe precincts of our city.
A fair legal vote would have shown
an overwhelming defeat of the ring.
They knew it and prepared to defeat
by fraud the people. This is the
whole story. Are the people ready to
submit to such a thing?
Delicious Maryland Biscuit
Aunt Hannah’s pride was her old
fashioned beaten or kneaded biscuit
and this is her receipt: One quart of
the best flour half a teaspoonful of
salt four oiiucss of lard chopped flue
and rubbed thoroughly into the flour.
Mix with cold water just as stiff as
possible so stiff that you feel almost
hopeless of ever doing anything with
it. Put it on a board and knead until
it is perfectly pliable and makes a
popping sound under your hands from
the air nubbles breaking in it and
until you can pull it down in long
thin strips. These tests are infallible
but you have to knead hard and long
before the dough will answer to them.
When it does you can make the bis-
cuit. Break off pieces about tbe size
of an egg. Mould them Into round
balls and roll three quarters of an
Inch thick with a rolling pin. Stick
through and through five or six times
with a fork. The oven must be well
heated but not too hot or they will
be underdone in the middle and all of
their excellence ruined. They will
cook in twenty raiuutes If the oven is
properly heated. A quart of flour
makes twenty-four biscuits of ordi-
nary size.—From the Ladies’ Home
Journal for October.
Remember the Ten Command-
ments—also the Alamo Sewing Ma-
chine Co. where they repair any ma-
chine and have in stock everything
pertaining to a sewing machine. Im
