To-night the people of Denison
are to be favored with the dramatic
event of the season. We have had
many good troupes here this season,
but none to compare with the C. L.
Graves' "Soldier' Trust" combina-
tion. A noticable preparation is the
renovation of Nolan Hall for the re-
ception of M. Boniface and his ex-
cellent supporters. Bear in mind
that this will be the last dramatic
performance this season, «nd judg-
ing from our exchanges, it is to be
the best.
The ''Soldier's Trust" will he pre-
sented this evening at Nolan Hall,
George F. Boniface sustaining the
principal role. The play is one of
the most interesting and exciting
that has been produced in this city.
The following complimentary no-
tice is clipped from the Waco Tele-
phone, which will give our readers
some idea of the treat in stoi c for
them this evening:
This afternoon, at matinee hour,
the "Soldier's Trust" was reproduc-
ed for the second time, but as every-
body has awarded the palm to Boni-
face in that piece, we will pass from
it to that most interesting and ab-
sorbing production, "Micawber and
and Peggotty," in which Mr. Boni-
face, if possible, achieves greater
popularity than in the "Soldier's
Trust." We would not set Our-
selves up as critics, but hope we
mav not misconstrue the sentiments
of the intelligent persons who wit-
nessed the plays, when we say that
"The Soldier's Trust Combination"
has, both in the major and minor
partj of the two plays they have
presented since their arrival, highly
gratified our citizens and left a recol-
lection that will follow them here-
after, and a desire to see them again
■in the near future. Space and lan-
guage both forbids 11s to extend upon
a piece we cannot do justice, but if
the troupe presents the same bills
elsewhere they have in Waco, we
shall expect to hear of their unboun-
ded success, and shall take pleasure
in recording it.

In his report for the year ending
August 31st, 187S, the State Comp-
troller says that 011 the Sherman rail-
road bonds, there is past due and
unpaid $12,132.08; balance on hand
4,629 99. Leaving past due cou-
pons unprovided for $7,505.09 on
the 31st day of August 1878, while
the interest was only calculated to
April 1878.
The city of Sherman has been for
sometime issuing interest bearing
scrip in payment of city debts. This
scrip has te.n frequently offered on
the streets of Denison, at 75 cents 011
the dollar, with no buyers.
The last two years have been reck-
oned among the most prosperous
ever enjoyed by the city of Sherman,
and yet at the end of that period,
she finds herself with no public
school, no school buildings, $7,500
in arrears for interest and with her
interest bearing scrip worth only 75
cents on the dollar.
Will our triend Crooks figuie this
thing up and tell us the name of the
man who will be appointed assignee
of the city, when her trade is all cut

The report that "Texas Charley"
was recently marrieW turns out to be
incorrect; ot least so the Nkws is
informed by a person who saw Char-
ley last Saturday.
Considerable excitement was cre-
ated 011 Main street Thursday after-
noon by the appearance of a negro
with blood on his hands, who was
rushing around in a frantic manne .
Doctors White and Holder soon ap
peared, and the negro was taken to
Dr. White's office. O11 inquiry, we
learned that part of the middle fin-
ger of the negro's light hand bad
just been amputated by Dr. White,
and that while yet partially under
the influence of chloroform he had
broken away from the Doctor.
The name of the negio is Win.
Aker. About ten years ago he was
bitten by Michael Leech, also color-
ed, in the finger during a fight. The
finger began to swell, and various
remedies were applied, but in vain.
Then it began to slough, and occa-
sioned a great deal of pain. About
two years ago part of the finger was
amputated by Dr. J nes, but ihis af-
forded relief only for a short time,
when it became necessary to resort
to another amputation, which was
performed Thursday as above stated.
On examination of the amputated
piece of finger the nerve was dis-
covered to be diseased.

We are informed officially that
any person charged with the com-
mission of an offence against the
laws of the United States shall be
taken belore the commissioner near-
est to him, and there examined, and
if any commissioner knowingly vio-
lates this law be subjects himself to
removal from office.
In our opinion, the recent action
of Commissioner L. W. Williams,
of Sherman, and Deputy U. S,
Marshal Johnson, in forcing busi-
ness men of Denison to go 10 the
county seat to be tried for alleged
violation ot the internal revenue
laws and when they were cognizant
of the fact that our fellow citizen
Dr. Geo. W. Williams, was at the
time a commissioner, was a palpa-
ble and knowing violation of law
and an unwarranted injustice per-
petrated upon the parties above
mentioned. The loss of time and
expense of defending a suit away
from home is necessarially heavy
and it is perfectly natural that those
who have been unfortunately charg-
ed with violation of law should
complain of the way in which they
have been treated. Every mile
traveled by a marshal and every
case tried by a commissioner means
fees, and the persons accused have
to pay those fees, and hence the
justice of the law as above recited.
It is to be hoped that Judge Duval
and U. S. Marshal Russell will see
to it that there will not be a repi-
tition of such injustice.
Everybody in Denison and the neigh-
borhood knows or ought to, that Guiteau

moderate prices. 8if
