A TURKEY HUNT.
Policeman Whitman, Regardless of
the-Game Law, Bags Three
Thanksgiving Birds.
It has just reached the ears of tho
Banner that a prominent city officer,
and one upon whom the entire popu-
lace looks with pride—in short no less
a personage than Policemen Thos. M.
Whitman, went turkey hunting Sun-
day morning. He did not consult the
State statute to see whether turkey
was in or out of season, but went full
tilt and returned with three fine birds
—two hens and a big fat gobbler.
It soems that last Sunday morning
a young gentleman who follows the
occupation of peddling, appeared at
tho Levy Hotel with a turkey hen and
gobbler for sale. The employes in tho
culinary department of the hotel re-
cognized the birds as being the same
that were stolen from the hotel coops
on Friday night, and they made an
outcry about it, telling tho peddler
boy that the turkeys were tho same
they had lost. He denied it, and as-
serted that he had raised those turk-
eys—whether from the eggs or out of
the coop he did not make clear—and
the hotel could not have them with-
out money.
Tho hotel people espied officer
Whitman's portly form on the next
corner and they hailed him and he,
with becoming gravity and official
dignity, ambled down to where the
dispute over the birds was iu pro-
gress.
The turkey raiser did not relish the
interposition of tho policeman and
leaving the hen in the clutches of the
hotel cook he struck out down the cen-
tre of the street towards his home near
the Central froi^1'1 depot, tho frighten-
ed gobbler sere; g defiance at the
Levy hotel cook and the policeman,
and bidding farewell to his mate and
gobbling hilarously at every jolt he
received as he dangled over tho
shoulder of the fleet footed peddler,
who, despite the fact that the mud
was a foot deep was making excellent
time homewards.
When the peddler got out of sight
Hrenham's "Finest" had succeeded
iu getting the facts of the ease firmly
lixed in his mind. He learned that
throe turkeys were stolen Friday
night by somo party or parties un-
known, and that the gobbler and heu
were two of them and tho third was
a black hen with her tail pulled out.
Armed with this, information and
hif> trusty club and 45, tho policeman
visited the domicile of the peddler
boy and found there tho gobbler aud
the boy, and also the fatal black heu
without any tail feathers. This tail-
less black lieu was proof positive iu
tho official brain that tho story of the
cook aud tho dishwasher, the scullion,
chamber maid and porter was true.
The absence of the tail was what
furnished the one missing link in tho
chain of evideuce agaiust tho peddler,
and so conclusive was it that Officer
Whitman officially demanded the in-
stant return of tho fowls to their
rightful owner.
The peddler boy told a long story
about how lie raised some turkeys
and they strayed away, and these
had come to his house and gone to
roost, and he supposed them his, etc.
But he carried tho joyful gobbler and
the tailless black heu back to the
hotel, and no questions were asked
and no complaints made, and Officer
Whitman's Sunday morning turkey
hunt was over.

BAPTIST COLUMN.
by j. c. midyett.
I wish to say to those who aro lovers
of improvement that from all the
standpoints we areable to view things
connected with tho First Baptist
church, we are ou the up grade, and
are moving slowly, of course, but wo
are advancing nevertheless. If you
are one of us and have not met with
us for months it would do your heart
good to step in• almost any time and
verify my statements.
We want helpers in the work wo
ase trying to do, and you need the
help of the work you eould help us
do. "Come up to tho help."
We are glad to note the return of
Misters Connell. They have been
away for some time, but are not look
ing any the worse for it.
At the Conference meeting Saturday
morning we had quite a good turn
out, and did some businoss and got
home before diuner.
Following were elected messengers
to the Associatiou that meets at Inde-
pendence next week: Pastor aud
wife, Elder Tynes aud wife, Deacon
Haynes and wife, Sister Graves, Sif-
ter Wilson and Deacon Thomas and
wife.
A committee was appointed to have
the pastorium painted aud another t<>
clean up aud paint the fences around
the property.
The literary ou last Friday night
was good and well attended, and tho
orphans benefit, given by the workers
for the King, was liberally patron-
ize^ About $10 was raised for the
home.
Our prayer meeting last Wednesday
night was largely attended and inter-
esting.
Sisters Sadie Mclntyre aud Laura
Belle Hall are visiting friends in Cald-
well.
Bisters Blanche Cook has recently
returned from a six weeks' vacation
from tho city.
The rain interfered with the Sun-
day school so that only four teachers
and eleven pupils got out on Sunday,
but we had a good school.
The preaching services wereentlrely
rained out in the morning.
The Bible class at 5:30 was good,
and we took a great delight in that
most beautiful book, Ruth.
A good sized aud attentivo congre-
gation was present Sunday night and
heard a sermon on tho wisdom of soul
winning. Mauy expressed a desire to
bocome "soul winners."
The ladies' prayer meeting last Fri-
day afternoon was held in tho parlor
of the pastorium, on account of tho
arrangements for tho icecream supper
monopolizing everything about the
church. It war an enjoyable occasion
The ice cream refreshments for tho
Buckuer Orphans Homo benefit were
well gotten up, well patronized and
much enjoyed.
The prayer meeting next Friday at
5 o'clock is not for the married ladies,
nor for the girls, but for the sisters

8:30 and last just one hour. Let us
have a full attendance. We will have
prayer and discussion, tho subject of
"Personal Work for Jesus."
Do you not wish you were as good
as your friends think you are? Would
it not be "awful" to be as bad as your
enemies say you are?
What our friends say of us helps us
to be better, and what our enemies
say of us does not mako us worse.
There is perhaps as much evil re-
sult from not doing good as there is
from doing bad. What an incentive
to try to do good.
Thistle seeds aud bad words always
grow from a thorny stock and produce
their kind.
The Ladies'Aid Society has made

armed with tho Manser rifle, with a lib-
eral supply of Krupp fledd cannon; tho
army of the center, 50,000 men, which

of Turkestan of uncertain strength, em-
ployed to maintain order in the extreme
western territories, and the territorial

CiiH Aiio, I],i„, August 7—Wheat
opened very excited, strong and
higher. Prices oue cent premium over
close of yesterday. Bulls had things
ail their own way. Offerings were
very light and on the extraordinary
strength displayed in the corn market
prices soon climbed up to 57 5-8 for
September an advance of 3 cents. In-
crease on passage 072,000, India ship-
ments 0120,090, foreign and continental
cables strong and higher, Liverpool
1-12 cts., Berlin and Paris higher.
Total clearance all ports. Wheat and
Hour about 145,000. Market held
strong right up to close; everybody
apparently wanting wheat. Septem-
ber ranged between 55 1-12 and 57 5-fS.
Tho low price, continued drought was
the potent factor In tho advance.
Corn—Tho opening so wild that official
quotations were all tho way from 515-8
to 58 cents. It was the biggest mar-
ket at opening wo have had for a long
time. Shorts were not long in realiz-
f the seriousness of their position
and may rapidly advance to 53 3-4.
The main cause for tho strength was
the weather, which still continues
dry and hot. Market eased off somo
ou predictions of cooler weather aud
rain in tho corn belt, but good buying
orders soon absorbed all offerings and
the market became stronger aud
quickly advanced to 55 cents for May.
Ou passage corn decreased 090,000.
Receipts to-day were but 175 cars
against 250 estimated.
Clearances 2-5,000. Tho prospect of
an Iowa report, putting the couditiou
of corn under •50 was oue of the sensa-
tional factors. Commission houses
had unusually good buying orders
from the country. September corn
touched 00 cents; market was excep-
tionally strong and excited through-
out the entire session. September
touched 00, while there wero sales at
59, no legitimate market at 00. Pro-
visions—Market firm aud higher at
opening. Considerable activity was
noticeable and apparently by buying
orders in tho market, there were
liberal offerings, however, aud prices
showed a slight gain for holders at
the close. Hogs at the yards were
firm and active, prices 10 cents higher.
Oats—While the open contracts were
light iu oats, tho geueral trade was
good and the upward tendency of the
market was duo to the advanco in
corn and tho general speculative feel-
ing prevails.
New York, Aug. 7.—One of the news
agencies here reports that it is learned
that a demand for certain lines of cot-
ton will eonsumo the supplies of
several of the principal New England
mills. On the other hand this morn-
ing's telegrams intimate that a num-
ber of the mills at Fall River will re-
duce wages. The market here opened
1 to 2 lower than last night, but when
Houston announced !X)0 bales of new
cotton and New Orleans 148 there was
much selling, both tor long and short
account, and prices was carried down
9 points. From this the market re-
acted 2. Whether Texas will con-
tinue to ship freely ou a declining
matket then depross prices still furth-
er is what the market must now de-
pend on, either to depress it still move
or by a cessation of such a movement
give temporary or perinanentstrength
to a market that needs some very de-
cided stimuleut.
If Houston receipts to-day affected
the market as much as it did what
would be the effect ot an increased
movement later on in tho worth?
Liverpool may do something in the
way of giving report. Closing prices
to-night are 3 lower than when Liver-
pool closed last Friday and the open-
ing there to-morrow is awaited with
some interest.

New York, Aug. 7.—The stock mar-
ket closed at a substantial rally on
assurance from Washington that a
tariff agreement will be reached with-
in the next 24 hours. No reliable de-
tails or concessions were made jmblic;
hut, from confidence with which the
manipulators bid up sugar, it is be-
lieved that the protective features of

The floating short interest was pretty
well eliminated out of sugar, however,

The (ialveston News of Sunday con- ]
tains an articlo by "Observer" on Mr. j
Neill's recent circular and crop esti- every mornin
mate. We have nothing to say about |
his comments on the same, but his ad-
vice to planters to keep back their cot-
ton in order to create an advance in
prices similar to that of last year, we
think is rather a dangerous one. Plan-
ters, no doubt, are better able to hold
hack their cotton than they were ever
before, and a temporary advance in
August might perhaps be made, but
such an effort to sustain the market
could not possibly be prolonged unless
assisted by some calamity to the crop,'
or other very important outside in-
fluence While sellers of August
shipments like those of July ship-
ments. might have some difficulty in
filling their contracts. We think that
less forward sales altogether have
been made this year to Europe than
last year, or tor many preceding sum-
mers, and there is therefore, less abso-
lute necessity for buying early ship-
ments with present crop prospects,
however, it will bo most difficult to
induce European consumers to buy at
any artificially raised prices, with
sufficient stocks for sale in Europe for
their urgent needs. They will simply
wait until they can buy at their own
prices. As we said some time ago, if

Life is short and those unfortunate
people from North Texas who took ad-
vantage of the low rate made by the
I Santa Fe to Galvestou on July 21st
aud 28th are fully convinced that they
had a good time.
The train was not overcrowded and
everybody secured comfortable ac-
commodation, according to their de-
sires.
Inasmuch as there were many, who,
for various reasons, were not able to
take advantage ot the Santa Fe'a low
rates, it has been decided to give them
another chance, iu fact two of them.
Ou Saturday, August 4th, and 11th
the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe will
sell round trip tickets to Galveston
from all points on its line iu Texas,
and the highest rate from any point
will be$o. Tickets will be limited to
return, leaving Galveston on the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
For the greater accommodatlou of
patrons, the Santa Fe will run a
special train leaving Paris Saturday

eveniug, carrying coaches, free reclin-
ing: chair cars, and Pullman sleepers,
arriving at Galvostou Suuday morn-
ing at 8:30.

veston Monday evening at 6 p. m., but
