Forepaugh's Great Show to Visit
Deuisou Soon.
In May, 1874, a rumor became
current in Sherman that the Texas
& Pacific railroad company were
about to sell or lease the Trans-Con-
tinental branch to the M. K. & T.
Co. This crcatcd great alarm in
Sherman, so much so that Jack
Martin, of the Register, addressed a
letter to Messrs. Throckmorton &
Brown, attorneys for the Tefcas and
Pacific road, asking them if there
were any grounds for the report.
Tom Brown replied promptly, and
from this letter we make the follow-
ing extract to show our citizens
the character of n man we
have to deal with in the person of
Geoige R. Reeves, candidate for
Representative from this and Collin
counties. After assuring Jack that
the rumor was wholly unfounded and
that the Texas and Pacific "has been
the friend of Sherman," "steadily
refused to enter into any combina-
tions against her"never counte-
nanced the project of a junction a
few miles west" ot Sherman (which,
nevertheless, is an accomplished
fact), he says:
"While at Austin, I learned that a
bill had passed the senate, and was
presented in the House, to incorpo-
rate the Caddo, Paris and Jefferson
branch of the M., K. & T. railroad.
ICol. Reeves detected [what!] that
|its line was not defined, and it might
run to Denison, [that's it; might
run to Denison and not to Sherman]
lor elsewhere. By his attention,
[mails that,] with the aid of the
friends of the T. & P. railroad com-
pany, this was compelled to desig-
nate its crossing on Red River, in
Lamar county."
Recollect this is Mr. Tom Brown's
statement and subsequent events
proved its correctness. Of course
forcing a ciossing of Red river in
Lamar county defeated the object of
the bill, and this was what Reeves
aimed to do. Although professing
to represent Grayson county, he was
really representing Sherman. Deni-
son being a rival to Sheiman any
legislatoin favorable to the latter must
be defeated.
Several of our merchants seem
entirely to have forgotten the fact
that such a thing as a sidewalk ordi-
nance exists in this city, and pile
their merchandise in front of their
store until pedestrians are sorely in-
convenienced thereby. Our mar-
shal Thursday morning served no-
tice on these parties to at once re-
move these obstructions, or a call at
the mayor's office would be the next
step.
The Dallas Herald says: "Citi-
zens in undress summer uniforms
flutter fans and occupy chairs along
the sidewalks of Main and other
business streets nightly, and until the
small hours of the morning."
A queer place is Dallas. A cou-
ple of young men tried the "un-
dress" costume in this city a few
nights ago, but they contributed
handsomely to the city treasury for
the privilege.
"Nubbs" Cigars,
pure Havana filler,
at Yeidel's.
There is no questioning the fact
that Hathaway's coal oil cooking
stove is a wonderful invention.
Yesterday a party was examining
the stove now 011 exhibition at Mer-
ritt's, and the first thing that attract-
ed his attention was the absence of
any chimney for carrying away the
smoke. Where does the smoke go
to, he enquired of Mr. Merritt, who
delights in explaining the various
features of the invention. That, re-
plied Merritt, is one of the most
curious things about the gas stove, it
is inJeed a mystery I have been una-
ble to solve to my own satisfaction.
I beg Ieaye to refer you to the cook.
Holland Herrings
at
Yeidel's,
Mr. R. S. Dingers, general direct-
or of Forepaugh's Great Show,
passed through Denison Tuesday
morning on his way South, to make
arrangements for a tour of this mon-
ster circus and inenagarie through
Texas. It has been over a year since
the citizens of Texas have had an
opportunity to witness a first-class
entertainment of this kind, owing to
the exhorbitant and uajust license fix-
ed by our last legislature. We under-
stand Mr. Dingess has been promis-
ed a reduction of the license in sev-
eral of the principal cities of the
State, and we certainly hope our
council will do likewise. An exhi-
bition having the reputation of this
one would attract an immense num-
ber of persons to our city. We un-
stand the intention is to exhibit at
Denison the last of September.
Forepaugh's Great Show enters
Texas at Denison. We clip the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Inter-Ocean
of June 18:
Those who delight in visiting a
choice collection of rare wild ani-
mals and birds, may rest assured that
Mr. Forepaugh presents no ordinary
catch-penny affair for their patron-
age, but has within his ample tents
a large number of the most select and
interesting specimens of strange
mammals and feathered fowl, that
can be seen outside of the best zo-
ological gardens in the country.
Among the most noticeable is the
new elephant just purchased by Mr.
Forepaugh, and not yet brought into
,the ring, lie is an immense crea-
ture, brought by the Prince of Wales
from India, after his late excursion
to the Punjaub. having been present-
ed to him by some native sovereign.
Among the other of the more re-
markable animals on exhibition are
two peculiar species of African ante-
lope, callcd, in common parlance,
the cow and the horse antelope. They
are the only specimens on the conti-
nent, There is also the young hip-
popotamus, grown one-third larger
since he was here last year, and also
the only one of this kind in the
Western world. One of the most
beautiful of all the feline species is
the puma, or American lion. David,
the old man-eater, a black-maned
lion, also attracts a peculiar attention,
as well as the snow-white yak, the
eland, tigers, leopards, emu, various
kinds of South African antelopes,
sloth, musk deer, grizzlies, cinna-
mon, and polar bears, the sea lions,
water buffalo, and others l>y the
score.

Latost From the Stewarts.
It is positively asserted that during
the fight Monday between Stewart's
party and the citizens of Caddo and
others, Henry Stewart, who is now
under bonds for his appearance at
the next term of the district court of
Grayson county, was wounded. He
fell from his horse during the firing
and remained lying on the ground
several minutes. Owing to the fact
that the ammunition of the pursuing
party had giyen out, it was not
thought advisable to advance upon
them at the time. Texas Bill, an
escaped Texas convict, abandoned
the Stewarts at this stage ot the
game, at least he has not been seen
with them since. The most strenu-
ous efforts are yet made by the citi-
zens to capture them, but it was re-
ported Tuesday morning in this city
that the two Stewarts, who are now
on foot, managed to cross Red river
at the mouth of Big Blue Monday
night and are now in Texas.
As they are well known in this
section it seems more than probable
that their arrest will soon be effected,
especially if it is true that one ot
them is wounded.
The Maui'ico Palaoo 13ath House.
We see by a late copy of the Hot
Springs Sentinel that 0111 former fel-
low-citizen, Judge Charles Maurice,
has just thrown open to the public
at list Springs, a commodious ind
convenient bath-house. It will be
recollected that lie had a fine
bath-house destroyed by fire last
year. The new bath-house is loca-
ted on the west side of Valley street,
on the site of the old Weir & George
bath-house, and contains forty-eight
rooms. Each bath-room has con-
nected with it two dressing rooms
and a vapor room, furnished to meet
all the requirements of invalids,
making a new departure in the con-
venience and comfort of bath-houses.
The Sentinel says that in all its ap-
pointments, architecture and finish,
the building is a credit to the pro-
jector, and the mechanics who plan-
ed and constructed it. The second
story is divided into ten rooms, which
are well furnished. The building
and appointments cost $1,500, and
for convenience, comfort and attrac-
tive appearance, is not excelled by
any similar establishment at the
Springs. There are two fountains in
the grounds in front of the building,
which are constantly throwing hot
water. Every room is furnished with
gas for illuminating purposes. That
other kind, so necessary in business
enterprises now-a days, is, of eours«>
supplied by the Judge himself*
Charley Maurice is one of the most
enterprising men of the age, and we
have no doubt of the success of the
"Palace Bath House," financially and
otherwise.

A Valuable Invention,
An invention is now being intro-
duced to our citizens, in which
every family is interested. We al-
lude to the Monitor Oil Stove. For
economy, comfort and perfect work,
it is superior to any wood or coal
stove in the market. We say this
after giving it a careful trial. During
hot weather, especially, it is the
stove for the kitchen. It gives out
but little heat, and a meal might be
prepared in the parlor upon it with-
out inconvenience. The improve-
ments that have been made upon oil
stoves the past two or three years
give them a wide range of capacity,
coupled with absolute safety. O11
the Monitor the cooking for a large
family can be done as expeditiously
as on a common stove costing thirty
or forty dollars. Mr. E. T. Hatha-
way is agent for the Monitor stove in
North Texas, and one of the stoves ;
may be seen at Merritt's grocery
store. Call and examine it.
The Way it Works in Law.
The title to the building on the
corner of Skiddy street anil Austin
avenue, known as the S.ui Fiancisco
saloon, has for some time occupied
the attention of the courts, ft ap-
pears that Mr. R. Van Patten and
Mr. Win. Hudson each claims to be
the rightful owner of said property.
Both these gentlemen being for the
most of the time absent from the
city, they appointed agents—Mr.
Hudson appointing Mr. J. II.
Nclms and Mr. Van Patten Mr. A.
J. Norris. A few days ago Mr.
Nelms nailed up some of the doors,
whereupon it is alleged Mr. Norris
broke them open and placed Mr. T.
D. Salamon in possession. Mr.
Nelms made complaint before the
Maydr Mond iy morning charging
Nonifc and Salamon with commit-
ting an illegal act by forcibly break-
ing into a house. The case was
tried the same morning, A. B. Per-
son, Esq.,•appearing as attorney for
Norris and Salamon, and - G. G.
Randall, city attorney, representing
the city, assisted by Capt. Smith,
attorney for Hudson. After hearing
the evidence the Mavot assessed the
fine against the defendants at $10
each and the costs. Notice was then
served on the parties to evacuate the
premises, to which however it ap-l
pears, no attention was paid. Com*
plaint was filed Tuesday morning!
by Ml-. Nelms, charging the parties
named with forcibly entering a cer-
tain building apd holding possession
of the same contrary to law. The
trial on these charges took place
Tuesday morning, and resulted in
a fine of fifty dollrrs and costs being
assessed against Mr. Norris and Mr.
Salamon each. Notice of appeal
in each case was given.

Looking for Lanham.
Sunday, Gleason, a deputy Shcrifi
of Bexar county, arrived in the city
on the lookout for the young man
named Lanham, who shot Georgie
Drake, a variety actress, in San An-
tonio a few days since, from the ef-
fects of which she died. In his
flight he passed through San Mar-
cos, where the sheriff of Hays coun-
ty arrested him for carrying conceal-
ed weapons, not knowing at the time
who he was. By some means he
managed to continue his flight, leav-
ing his pistol behind him. He was
traced to Waco by the officers, where
they found he had come on towards
this city. They left Sunday night
for Fort Worth in search of him.
It is thought he is making for the In-
dian Territory.—Dallas Herald.
♦
Monday evening two inebriated
fellows on horseback disturbed the
peace of the community by yelling
in Comanche style. The Marshal,
who happened to be on horseback,
made an effort to arrest them, but
their horses proved too fast for him.
In their flight one of them dropped
his hat and the other a large bundle.
The Marshal on his return made dil-
igent inquiry for the bundle, but
somebody had got away with it. The
hat was recovered.
