One of our leading divines called at
Murray’• Steam Printing House Friday
and was surprised to see our lightning
steam pony press working off a circular in
red. “Why, I didn’t know that you could
do that,” exclaimed the divine. Yes, we
can print all of the colors ot the rain-
bow; in fact there are but very few things
in the line of job work that Murray's
Steam Printing House can’t do.
A boy named Beakly, while out hunt-
ing Wednesday in Red River bottom, ac-
cidently shot himself in the left arm. It
was merely a flesh wound, but might have
been worse. The most foolish present
that a father can give his son is a gun. It
is dangerous in the hands of a small boy;
and many untimely deaths can be laid at
the door of parents who put into the
hands of their children the toy-pistol and
shot gun.
Mr. Ansley, of the art studio over the
B. & O. Telegraph office, had his door
placarded as follows: “At home to-day
with my fourteen pound boy. He’s a
daisy enlarged to the proportion of a
sun-fiower. No pictures to-day, but stay
in town till to-morrow. I will also take
in Sherman to celebrate. November the

his boy will enjoy life htighlv.

The agent of J. H. llirschberg’s dia-

the city last Wednesday and arranged
with Messrs. Bailey & Howard to handle

people who desire anything in this line
will govern yourselves accordingly.
The Colonnade hotel, under the man-
agement of Col. Streepei, Is stepping to
the front rank of Texas hotels. Its repu-
tation is being spread far and wide. Col.
Streeper is a gentleman who will conduct
a hotel in a first-class manner, or not at
all. The Colonnade is doing a first-class
business.
It is safe to predict that in less than
three years a railway will be con-
structecHrom this city to Pauls’ Valley.
The most prominent people of the Chic-
kasaw Nation are now in favor of such a
project, and all that is needed to start the
boom is energetic action on the part of
our people. Capital for such an enter-
prise will never! be lacking.
Why We are Happy, • 1
We have the promise next week
of our popular grocer, Burgower, to
give the people of Denison and vi
cinitv some of the lowest prices on
groceries ever heard or known in
this country. He says he can, and
it is because he t>uvs of first hands
and secures ear load rates.
Mr. O. E. Dorriss has opened a first-
class lunch house and restaurant on Aus-
tin avenue near Chestnut street. It is
fitted up in handsome style. Mr. Dorriss
is an old hand at the restaurant business
and, we are glad to note, is doing well. He
makes a specialty ot oysters, and wild
game. The kitchen is under the supervi-
sion of his estimable lady. Drop in and
take a meal with Mr. Dorriss.

SOCIETY MELANGE.
A society column is an indispensable feature ot a
weekly newspaper, but it cannot be made a success
without the assistance of friends. If you know of
any society news, never mind how trival, report to
the Gazetteer. Bail, parties, sociables, the de-
parture and arrival of friends, remember that the
Gazetteer will publish the same with pleasure.
The pesky dengue is disturbing society
matters to a large extent. A number of
young people have been put into their
little beds.
It is stated that one of our pretty young
lady clerks at a dry goods house on Main
street, will be led to the altar during the
holidays.
Miss Ada Harrington, of Sherman, has
been visiting in the city the past week.
Miss Mary Hines, of Paris, will remain
in the city until the holidays, the guest of
Mrs. Moon on Morgan street.
Miss Isa Moore, of Gainesville, has
been visiting the past week the family of
Mrs. Gerth, on Morgan street.
Mrs. Barrett, of Pilot Point, is a guest
of her sister, Mrs. D. A. Green.
-The next great social event will be the
Knights of Pythias ball, on the evening
of November it.
The ball to be given by the K. of P.,
in the opera house on the nth inst.,
promises to be the grandest social event
ot the season.
“Its funny, very, very funny,” but the
married men are exceedingly fond of
“ringing up” somebody at the telephone.
The K. of P., of Sherman, will attend
the grand ball to be given at the opera
house, Novembef 11, by the K. of P., of
this city.
A goodly number of good people from
the B. I. T., will be in attendance on the
evening of November 11, at the grand
ball.
Miss Mary Carleton, of Jacksboro, has
been in the city they past week on a visit
to her sister, Mrs. Van Hall.
Miss Hattie Travis, assisted by several
young ladies, gave a party to a few friends
Tuesday evening at the residence of her
mother on Railroad avenue. The eve-
ning was delightedly wiled away with
music, games and dancing.
Rather a ludicrous incident happened
at the rink the other night. The young
lady escaped to the front door just in
time to prevent a scene—her skirts came
off.
The evidence in the Walkup case will
convince many young ladies that they
need never be troubled with those annoy-
ing little eruptions on the face termed
“pimples”—that is, while fifteen cents
can be procured with which to purchase
arsenic.
John H. Williams and Mrs. Sarah Jane
Jacobs were married at the Colonnade
hotel Wednesday night, Judge Adams
tieing the knot. The bride and groom
were from Savanna, I. T.
Palatka, Fla., is a nice place for young
men to go. Two-thirds of the wealth of
the town is to be inherited by young
girls with orange groves. Their fathers

These orange groves will average an in-
come ot $40,000 clear of all expenses.
“Maiden fair, with golden hair
And bright eyes ot blue,

Please bear this in mind.”

afternoon he gave the clerks a great deal j
of annoyance, and they, in retaliation, j
had a great deal of tun at the expense of j
the old negro. - They pulled off his star,
which so enraged Baylis that he stormed j
j and swore like a sea captain. Bavliss is
provided with a scrap of paper which he
styles his commission.. The old negro
is harmless, but is becoming such a bore
that be should be provided with a home
on the poor farm.

-Mr. Senedaker, who resides about foui
miles southeast of Denison, while pro- |
cecding home Wednesday night was ]
halted on the Bonham road by a party J
who presented a pistol and demanded i
him to stand and deliver. Mr. Senedaker |
had only $1.70,which he tossed to the
highwayman. The party was dressed in j
overalls, blue shirt, butternut coat and a
slouched w hite felt hat. People who j
ttavel in that direction after nightfall had j
better go “fixed,!’ as they may be treated
to a similiar experience.

The next meeting will be held ai New
Orleans, on the second Tuesday in

Passenger Conductor Richard Harnest,
of the Pacific, was biakeman on the M.
K. 4t T, for a number of rears, and no
one ever suspected that the day would
come when he would don the brass but-
tons. Not that he was stupid or incom-
petent but he seemed to belong to that
class of men that for some reason or
other superintendents lose sight of, when
they make a selection tor promotion.
Dick was the subject ot more jokes than
anv brakeman that was ever on the M. K.
X T. His large feet were the but of the
wit of every biakeman from Denison to
Parsons. George Haynes, who was
freight conductor on the Choctaw Divi-
sion, and afterwards passenger conductor
for a number ot years, used to tell a good
storv on Dick. There was a caboose be-
ing * dead-headed to Denison, Dick was
braking behind. Sometime during the
night Conductor Haves wished to men-
tion some train matter, and looked for
Dick but he had left the caboose. George
opened the door and looked through the
window into the empty caboose and no-
ticed Dick going through the motion of
a conductor taking up tickets and punch-
ing them. He would make a step or two,
and then stop and hold out his hand to
an imaginary passenger for a ticket; i
once in a while he would shout out, j
“tickets, please.”.® Hayes said that he j
never enjoyed a sight more in his life. In t
about two y ears after the incident, Mr.
Harnest was punching tickets in reality.
From freight conductor he was promoted
to a passenger run, and he is, by univer-
sal opinion, considered one. of the most
thorough and reliable railway conductors
in the employ of the Pacific. He has
worked up from the brakes bv dint ot
hard and faithful service, and there is
not a dutv connected with the position ot
conductor that he is not as familiar with
as a ten-year-old school boy with his
alphabet. He is not a dude conductor,
who holds his position at the option of
some relative who belongs to the brass
collars, but got his learning at a hard
school and Mr. Harnest has not graduate
ed as vet, for we believe the day will
come when he will be a notch or two
higher than a passenger conductor.

The Knights of Labor have boycotted
the Chinese laundries in this city. It
looks as if th<* Chinese must go.
Labor papers are the order of the day.
We understand that Dallas and Fort
Worth will have publications of the char-
acter of the Denison Siftings.
We notice by the Fort Worth Mail that
the Knights of Labor of that city have
boycotted the Chinese and all who patro-
nize them. That will be a serious blow
to the laundry business.
It is the intentions of the Gazetteer
to kijep track of all events affecting the
labor interests of the country, and pub-
lishing each week a synopsis of the same
under the separate head of the Working
men’s Column. The idea was suggested
on Friday, consequently the column will
not be found as complete as we could
wish, but in our next issue we shall do
better.
From the Fort Worth Daily Gazette
the following particulars ot the great
strike at Galveston is gleaned:
Galveston, Tex,, Nov. 5.—The third
day of the Mallory boycott has passed
without a sign of weakening on either
side. The striking Knights surged back
and forth on the principal streets, discuss-
ing the situation, but perfect order
reigned. The secret conference of the
executive committees of the Knights of
Labor and the Trades assembly remained
in session until 1 o’clock this morning.
The conference granted a concession,
permitting printers, newspaper men, and
clerks, “having no direct connection with
commerce,” to return to work upon the
condition that they shall cease at a mo-
ment’s notice.
This ordei enables about sixty clerks
and printers to work. It is asserted by
the Knights that a rather remarkable
proposition has been indirectly thrown
out bv the Missouri Pacific company and
rejected by the executive committees.
The proposition came through a subordi-
nate official suggesting that it the Knights
would raise the embargo on the Missouri
Pacific, that company will agree not to
haul a pound of freight for the Mallory
company until the boycott is over. The
Missouri Pacific people deny that they
made any overtures, but the Knights ver-
rity their story by naming the sub-of-
ficial.
The president of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe railroad to-day applied to the
executive committee for permission to
bring in and send out a train bearing a
traveling circus billed for to-morrow.
Permission was granted. The Missouri
Pacific company was also granted per-
mission to send out water tanks. The
humble requests from gigantic corpora-
tions indicate how supremely the Knights
aie masters of the situation. By their
mandate they have diverted commerce
away from Galveston as effectually as
though she was beseiged by an immense
army. Rumors are current to-night that
the railroads and cotton .presses will make
a concerted effort to introduce colored
laborers from Brazoria and‘ other black
districts. This story cannot be authenti-
cated to-night, but it is agreed on all
sides that such a measure would precipi-
tate blood.v riots.
The knights of Labor held another
meeting to-night, at which it is under-
stood the strike was ordered general
throughout the state against all freight
coming to Galveston.
The Typographical Union has been
forced to an issue with the strikers which
has resulted in their withdrawing in a
body from the Trades Assembly, declar-
ing allegiance to the International Union
to be supreme in their government.
St. Louis, Nov. 5.—The police author-
ities gave out this afternoon that they last
night arrested David Keenan, W. P.
Sears, P. T. Burns, W. W. Weather and
Master Workman Pinkerton of the
Knights of Labor, all street railway men,
for being implicated in the recent explo-
sions on the street car track. Another
man named John Shaughnessy was ar-
rested this afternoon, and the police now
think they have the entire gang. These
men are all strikers and Knights of Labor,
and were arrested at 4211 Lucas avenue,
from which place they directed their op-
erations, and where a quantity of dyna-
mite and caps were found. They pur-
chased the dynamite in Louisville with
money furnished by the Knights of Labor
ostensibly to buy food for the strikers’
families, but the police claim to have in-
formation that the officers knew it was to
purchase explosives. The men have con-
fessed their connection with the plot to
destroy the street railroad property, and
they will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.
The Fort Worth Gazette of the 7th,
says:
The meeting here of the state execu-
tive committee Knights of Labor, report-
ed in yesterday’s Gazette, hais brought
out some important developments in re-
gard to the great strike at Galveston. It
now seems not only possible but proba-
ble that the whole matter is the result of
usurpation of authority on the part of
certain officials of the Knights of Labor,
and that a speedy settlement of present
difficulties will be attended as soon as the
entire executive board is brought togeth-
er. The following telegram to Presi-
dent Sealv of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe was dictated bv the executive
committee, of which Mr. Nugent is chair-
man.
Fort Worth, Nov. 5, 18S5.
Geo. Sealv, President Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe, Galveston, Texas:
The boycotting at Galveston and junc- 1
tion point on this line is not done by the i
Knights of Labor, and by to-morrow they j
hope to have all embargo removed. This j
is stated on authority of Nugent, Rey-
nolds and Black, committee of executive
board Knights of Labor, state ot Texas.
They request you to take no decided steps
against the order, as this present touble
will be adjusted as stated.
J. J. Md-LANE,
Agent of G. C. & S. F. Ry.
Postal Cards.
Postmaster Daugherty has or-
dered, written and telegraphed for
postal cards, but has not as yet re-
ceived them. The trouble is with
the postal card contractor who is
away behind with his orders, so
don’t blame Mr. Daugherty.

The performance of “The Professor”
at the opera house last Tuesday evening
was attended by a large number of peo-
ple who are not regular attendants at
the theatre, and we can only attribute
this to the excellent attraction on the
boards for the evening, an(j a gradual
taste being acquired for the drama and
the good effects usually derived from see-
ing a fine play, well rendered. Had the
evening been favorable, no doubt the
opera house would have been crowded
Say what you may, Denison people can
appreciate a good thing just as well as
any people living.
From the Greenville Banner ot Novem-
ber 4th, we are to infer that the people of
our sister city were very much pleased
with Kersands’ Minstrels, if the following
may be relied upon:
The above named company of genuine
negro minstrels held forth at Cameron's
opera House last Saturday night. It was
simply immense and all who heard it
were delighted. The songs were splen-
did and well rendered in every instance.
The dancing was fine, the mimicry was
side splitting and the two er.d-men were
the best that ever appeared in Greenville.
An evening with this company will cer-
tainly cure the worst case of blues, with-
out offending the most refined members
of the audience with anything coarse or
out of place.
Houston, we should judge, must be one
ot the worst show towns in the state, if
the following notices of two excellent
companies taken from the Post of Dct.
31st and Nov. 3rd, are criterionito go by:
Miss Ada Gray appeared last night at
Pillot’s opera'house for the third and last
time, to a very small audience. The
piece presented was “Hortense,’,’ one of
the strongest played by Miss Gray. Con-
sidering the surroundings, the compar-
and the star did very well, and, like
martyrs, went through the piece without
omitting any very important part. Those
patrons of the theatre who were there
fe't the depression apparently more than
the actors.
Quite a treat was furnished a rather
small audience—too small for the merits
of the performance—by the presentation
ot the rural romantic drama of “A
Mountain Pink,” by Miss Bella Moore
and her company, at Pillot’s Opera
House, last night,
The Sherman correspondent to the
Dallas Herald says the following:
During the stay of the “Professor”
company in our city, Miss Kitty Cheat-
ham, the leading lady, lost a fine diamond
eardrop. She immediately notified Mr.
James Taylor, the day clerk of the Bink-
ley, who instituted search and was fortu-
nate enough to find it in the parlor. Up-
on its recovery Miss Cheatham was over-
joyed, and knowing that money was no
object to a hotel clerk, she rushed up and
gave him a great big Tennessee kiss. He
is putting in all of his time now looking
for lost diamonds.
The Thompson Specialty company con-
sisting of three people, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon with the intention of
qiving a performance at the opera house.
Jut at 8:30, with $4 in the house, they
wisely decided not to show to such a poor
audience. Our theatre-going people are
getting tired of patronizing such troupes
as this and the sooner such combinations
walk back to their starting place the soon-
erjwill better combinations fill their place.
Manager Ba'sell says he was under the
impression that it was a first class com-
pany or they could ■never have made a
date at Sherman.
The “Bankit King” have come and
gone. The company was greeted with
one ot the largest houses of the season,
and the performance was good, and so
far as we are able to judge and learn gave
satisfaction, but of Mr. Wallick, the man-
ager, what good opinion we had formed
of him and his acting was dispelled on
learning of his ungentlemanly conduct
at ihe door in not wanting the “Stage
(the house programme) to be distributed
in the opera house. We shall remember
this act of yours, and assure you that it
gains you nothing. The “Stage” is is-
sued by Murray’s Steam Printing House,
authorized by Mr. McDougall, and is thb
official programme of the opera house. It
cost the company nothing and it is a
credit to any company to have their cast
appear in it, and why Mr. Wallick should
refuse its distribution is more than any
sane man can account for. We are grat-
ified to know it was distributed by Mr.
McDougall’s request.
The comedy-drama of “The Professor*’
was presented at the opera house Tues-
day night to a very fair audience, but the
attendance was not as large as the play
deserved, as there ha9 been no better put
upon the boards at the opera house this
season. The character of “The Profes-
sor” as sustained by Mr. J. O. Barrows.
The piece deals with the vagaries of Ar-
thur Hinsdale, Spofford Protessor of As-
tronomy in the Boston University. The
conception of the character is difficult,
but Mr. Barrows’ delineation left no room
for adverse criticism. There is much to
commend in the subtile and catching
humor displayed by Mr. Barrows, in the
title role. It was that intellectual humor
which vulgar men know
of. We believe it waa Lord Byron
