Progress to inform the editor that if the

“chains and slavery will be ours and our

the Omiscient can discern.”
Not Our Eeed.
Rev. Marion Reed, a populist campaign
preacher, in a recent harangue at Den-
ver, advised that zoo men go to the polls
armed and whenever they detected any
one fraudulently voting shoot him on
the spot. Rev. Reed evidently puts’ more
confidence in the biblical statement that
Jesus said he came not to bring peace
bat the sword, than in the prophetic song
sung by the angelic choir at this nativity

r A Monster (Jake.
The biggest cake the w-oild ever saw,
was recently displayed at the Pure Food
exhibition^ in Chicago. It was the pro
duct of Fi Tantv, chef to the late Alex-
ander 111 !t>t Rnssia, and made especiallv
for the exposition management. The
following!; ingredients entered into its
composition: Washburn and Crosbv
flour, 10 barrels; sugar, ;,5uo lbs.; Cot
tolene, iqoo lbs.; raisins and currants,
500 lbs. a candied lemon, citron and
orange peels, 1000 lbs.; Wetmore grated
cocoanut, 500 lbs.; Calumet baking pow-
der, 10 lbs ; lemon extract, 3 gjlion-
Menier chocolate, 300 lbs.; eggs, 23,001

B. Boss sent her husband a small slice
th‘s monster cake, and he treated the
Gazki rdBR man to a taste.
At Pottsboro Tuesday evening the A1
l.ewis Minstrels were greeted by a full
house. Just before the play began the
Pottsboro constable approached Manager
Lewis and demanded of him $3, state
tax. The entertainment was for the ben«*-
of the Pottsloro public school and
Manager Lewis did not understand where
the law came in. The constable was de-
termined, however, to help bridge over
the “awful deficit” at Austin and the $3
had to come or there would be no show.
Mr. Lewis told him to take charge of the
box receipts until he was satisfied; but
the proeeedure was brought to ^ sudden
ending by the timely arrival of Mayor
Leatherwood. The constable was re-
quested to look into the matter a lit tie
further itr a legal sense, and, that if he
found the show was justly indebted to the
tate, to then call on the mayor and the
monev would be promptly paid.

“IN OLD TENNESSEE.”
•Uncle Jube” is a great character in
the above play, which is to be seen at a
matinee and eveni g performance at
Eppstein’s Denison Opera house Satur-
dav afternoon and evening. It is played
by \V. C. dratt, the very best colored
actor in America. "Uncle Jude” says:
“Every time a ivgger walks by a chicken,
why it shivers!” Every Southern man
will agree with “Uncle Jude” when he
utters the truism, that “a chicken and a
watermelon are mighty powerful tempta-
tions to a nigger.” “In Old Tennessee”
is a new Southern musical drama, which
to the South is what "The Old Home-
stead" is to the North. It is a laithful
depiction of Southern pastoral life; a
t«r.v of keen interest, and illust-ative ot
plantation lite in the South, “Beto" de
ivah,” devoid ot every offending element.
It is tiue to nature—a picture 01 Southern
plantation life in the illustiation ot which
Messrs. MeeKeevcr and Floto, the man-
agers, have engaged, at an enormous out
lay, the greatest colored performance on
earth. Have you seen “In Old Ken-
tucky?” Did you like it? We know you
did. Well, “In Old Tennessee” is not a
plagerism uhon “In Old Kentucky,” but
a clean, pure, wholesome play; an enter
tainmentdor the mother, wile, sister and
child, hav ing all the essential elements to
please witnessed in “In Old Kentucky,”
vet original throughout. Like "In Old
Kentucky” it has its Pickaniny band
with the addition of a fine dium corps.
In all other particulars it is dissimi ar,
vet possesses strong elements to please
and entertain. It has been endorsed by
live press and pulpit wherever produced,
and no other show before the public is
exactly like it. There is plenty of music,
singing and vlancing. t he best dancers
and finest voices will be seen and heard
in the plantation scenes and choruses.
The management have spared no expense
to secure the latest songs, and have also
retained such favorites as "On the Swanee
River,” “Old Kentucky Home,” etc.,
songs that will live forever. The scenery
consists of the cotton field in full bloom;
the cotton gin press in lull operation;
zhe steamboat race between the “Robt.
E Lee” and the "Natchez.”
At tz o’clock noon on Saturday the
Pickaniny band of 16 and drum corps ot
eight pieces, will give a grand parade.
Don’t fail to see it, and you can form an
idea of the magnitude of the entertain
meat. A select concert will also be given
in front of the Denison opera house at 7
p. tn.

SPOONER DRAMATIC COMPANY.
At the McDou^all during the entire
week has been th# Spooner Dramatic
Company in excellent repertoire. That
the entertainment furnished bv this su-
perb organization has been thoroughly
meritorious, is evidenced by the laige
audience at each performance. Miss Al
lie Spooner, Mr. F. E. Spooner and Mr.
James Baldwin deserve special mention
as being at the very head in their profes-
sion, and they labor conscientiously to
please. To-night’s (Saturday) bill will
close their engagement, and as a mark ot
appreciation a handsome gold watch will
be awarded the person holding the lucky
number in a drawing conducted by dis-
interested parties.
SPIDER AND FI.\
M. B. Leavitt’s greatest spectacular,
“Spider and Fly,” which was in the main
reorganized in Europe this summer, will
be in every way the strongest and most
magnificent extravaganza on the road this
season. The company is a very large and
expensive one—everything brand new
and up to date. The company has been
most carefully selected as the list will
show, and no expense has been spared in
the reorganization to bring the new pro-
duction tor the coming season up to ’he
highest standard of excellence. The
company comprises 45 European and
American artists, as follows; The fasci-
nating and accomplished artist Miss
Dawn Griffith, prima donna soprano,
late of Dovlev Carte’s Opera Co.; the
famous Fnglish beauty Miss Gwendoline
North, contralto and burlesque artist
from Gaiety Theatre, London; Violet
Leslie, the favorite vocalist and dancer;
“The Falambos” Electrical Dynamotic
Wonders, the sensation of all Europe;
John W. W orld, greatest of all trotef-que
dancers and pantovnimist; the Harvey

ALVIN JOSLIN.
The Denison Opera House will have
for its attraction on Friday, Nov. 8th, a
star and play that have been seen in this
city many times, and always with such a
degree of success that it seems doubtful
if its welcome will ever wear out.
Charles L- Davis and his famous char-
acter of “Alvin Joslin” are now in their
seventeenth year. It is announced that
this is Mr Davis’ farewell appearance in
this character, a character that is quite
familiar and one that has made nearly
every theatre in America echo with shouts
of laughter. W hile the play is ecsentiallv
a rural comedy on the lines of the “Old
Homestead” it is by no means a copy of
that well known drama, for “Alvin Jos-
lin” was produced and had made a for-
tuue long before the other play had ever
seen the light. Besides ‘“Alvin Joslin”
combines sensationalism with comedy,
and appeals to all classes alike, and is not
altogether a rural comedy, for most of its
scenes are laid in New York with “Uncle
Alvin” as the central figure.
THE W HITE SQUADRON .
A very small audience greeted the
White Squadron company Tuesday night
at the Denison. The inclemency ot the
weather probably had something to do
with the small attendance, but the enter-
tainment offered by the company indi-
cated was not very propitious, so there
should be no complaint on this score.
The piece is roughly constructed and the
author's attempt to appeal to the patriotic
influences of the audience failed of its
purpose by Tuesday night’s hearing.
With the Cuban revolution and the Mon-
roe doctrine agitating the minds of the
people, well written lines embracing this
principle should meet with an enthusias-
tic response, but the discriminating thea-
ter-goer is not generous enough to let his
patriotism overshadow just criticism, and
give hearty approval to a poor play and
worse actors ail just because Uncle Sam
is the victor. The scenes and incidents
are not even within the range of prob-
abilitr, while the work of the principal
parts was fatal in the extreme.
Don’t forget to a*tend the sale ot the
Collins r^al estate, next Tuenlav, at Sher-

A Good Man Gone.,

Whitesboro, were surprised to learn ot
his death, the new- of which reac* ed this

| of death jvvas paiaivsis. He became un-

“THE LOST PARADISE.”
It is a sad commentary on the citizens
of Denison when such superior attrac-
tions as “The Lost Paradise” is com-
pelled to play to a house half-filled with
people, as was the case Wednesday even-
ing at the Denison, when Mr. William
Morris and company made their first ap-
pearance here. All of Frohman’s com-
panies are first-class, and the plays pre-
sented are the very best obtainable, but
"The Lost Paradise” as presented here
was sublime. The subject is the old
theme of tne conflict between labor and
capital, but the treatment of the story is
new and original. The story is told in
three acts, in which a dainty love affair
of a young superintendent of the Knowl-
lon ironworks is wrought out with skill
and interest. The story is full of honest
sentiment that knocks tor admittance at
every heart, and through it also runs a
rich vein of delightful comedy that none
can condemn and all admire. To particu-
larize in speaking of one of the Froh-
man companies means to mention every
member in the cast as worthy of praise.
1 he company with this trade-mark is
generally first-class.
The following attractive program was

ADMINISTRATORS' SALE.
An Opportunity of a Lifetime to Secure
Valuable Bargains.
On Tuesday next, at the courthouse
door in Sherman, hundreds of lots and
parcels of land locaten in and around
Denison and known as the Collins prop-
erty are to be sold at public auction. Two
weeks ago the Gazetteer made extended
mention of the property, its location,
and the peculiar value especially of the ed the position of trainmaster, having
business lots on Main street. The paper
again calls attention to the matter, and if
any ot our readers wish to “accumulate a
competency for old age,” now is the time
to strike. The administrators of the
estate are kqown to every man in Deni-
son, and their names is a sufficient guar-
antee that no triends wrill be rewarded, no
enemies punished by the disposal ot the
property. The creditors and the public
will share alike all the advantages and
disadvantages, and the auctioneer will
accept the highest ca-h bid, whether It
comes trom Denison or Michigan. Take
along a land map of the city, with lot and
vocalist and burle-que artist; John P. J block numbers, and govern yourself ac-
