drid was «h ot at Csmsrgo Friday. Tho
offloers on b o‘-h side* af tho border sro
working vet 1 actively, and a boavy
force will soo n be lnt active operation
against the tu srauders.
Thu richest ottlcer in the United
State army is reported to be Lieut.
Clinch of the Th'rd Cavslry. now sta-
tioned ber*. who is*<|uiot, unassuming,
jolly young American soldier, nnvor
shrinking hard ws-rk or unploasant du-
ty, and will liked J>y his men. He is
reported to be worth #9,000,000, being
000 ot the heirs of Mrs. A. T. Stowart.
Friday afteroon a br-«s si* pound er
cannon ball, like those used in former
times in the Moviean servico. wus
found by Miss Cbans. while digging in
the garden of her father's rosiduD Oe.near
tho court-house. From th# location it
Is probable that It is ono of tho cannon

ABILENE NOTES.
Abilink, Texas, Nov. ;6.—Tlho re-
porter is reliably informed that a com-
pany composed of the lending cihizons
of Abilene will bo organized at an
early day to ombark in tho land nnd
live stock business. The company also
intends issuing a weekly paper devoted
to the land and live stock interest of
Wostern Texas, and used as a medium
to advertise their business.
Abilene will soon be on a newspaper
boom. It is reported that the Farmers'
Alliance will at an early day begin the
publication of a weekly here. Jit can bo
safely said that if the Alliance go
ahead with this paper they will make n
success of it. Tho order is composed
of some of the best men of the country,
and nearly oveiy farmor in the country
is a member of tho order.
ISLAND CITY JOTTINOS.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 6.—The
Galveston Bagging and Cordage Com-
pany is pushing tho construction of its
big factory with all possible speed.
The factory ’ is located on Fortieth
streot, between Church and Winnie,
and will bo 300 feet long and 202 feet
wide, throo stories high, to bo built en-
tirely of brick and stone. The lirst
floor will Iks tho largest single room in
Texas.
Work on the government jetties is
boing rapidly pushed forward. Tho
fall gales have not had tho slightest
effect upon tho sea walls, and the pro-
gress of construction was never more
favorable.
Tho New York league club will ar-
r vo here Sunday, Nov. 18, and play
two games at Beach Park that day
with tho Island Citys and Galvostons.
During tho InterBtato drill held here
a year and a half ago an effort wav^
made to raiso funds to erect a J&uitablo
tombstone over tho romains of Guncrat
J. Bankhead Magrudor, but tho pro-
ject failed. The corpse remains in an
unmarked vault in tho City Cemotery,
where it has boon ever since it was
brotigh from Houston, fourteen years
agp, with a grand flourish of trumpets
nnd no end of promises os to bow the
grave of the boro of the battle ot Gal-
veston was to bo marked. It now ap-
pears that there is little probability of
the gravo of the dead soldier ever be-
ing suitably marked, and that within
tho 1 ot very distaut future even the
location of it will bo known to fow.
The remains of another distinguished
Texan lio buried on Galveston island
without headstone or monument to
mark the resting place of tho eloquent
Louis T. Wigfall, tho great senator
from Texan, the associato of Cluv nnd
Webster, who died here in poverty.

buyers of tho city, that no sales of
wool wiljjbe made here until tho sheep

Tho scarcity of stock cars on the

tion.

A VALIANT FIGHT.
How Rochester, N. Y., Wresiled With
the Telephone and Won!
Rochester, N. Y., is the only elty In
j I ho United States whloh does not gen-
erally use the Bell telephone!
On the 20th of November, 188fl.about
seven hundred subscribe#) bung up
their 'phones,and they have been bung
up since!
It Is the most noteworthy fight with
a corporation over known.
The causo of it was the attempt of
the local Bell oompany (whj^te officers
all lived in another city) to exact a
rate per message from the subscribers,
instead of a "flat rate.” The people
resisted it, the courts sustained the
position that the license was revokable
at will, tho Common Council revoked
it. The company ignored this action,
and without permission, erected poles
in tho streets and struDg additional
wires; but tho courts held that this
was unlawful.
According to tho message rate, a
house likeII. Ii. Warner & Co., pro-
prietors of Warner's safo cure, who
wore among tho heaviest patrons,
would have to pay something like
$1,000 a year for the same telephone
aorvice as before.
For a city of 125,0C0 people, Roches -
ter has made a good many sensations*
Sam Fetch and his doadly leap, tho
Fox sisters' spiritual rapp'ngs, Sew-
ard’s ‘‘Irrepressible Confl ot” speech,
Susan B. Anthony's attempt to voto,
the comctary discoveries of Dr. Swift,
of Warner observatory, havo each
made the city tho “talk of tho world;”
she leads in tbo manufacture of pro-
prietary medicine, and her immense
nursery, shoe and clothing interests
puts her in the front rank.
The origin of one of her greatest in-
dustries is interesting: About ten
years ago ono of ber foremost citizens
was stribkon down in tho very heigh
of a successful business career, with
what ills doctors said was an incurable
disease. They gave him up to die. Ho
thefPused what is now known as War-
ner's safe cure, nnd since then has de-
veloped as the world's great champion
of tho peoplo against tho assumod
monopoly of physicians over tho treat-
ment of dlsoaso!
His light, too, has been a determined
one, and ns successful as determined.
To-day ho is the head of the larges
propriotary modicino business in the
world, having branch houses and lab-
oratories in London, England ;/Toron-
to, Canada ; Melbourne, Victoria ; Syd-
ney, New South Wales; Frankfort,
Germany ; l’rngun, Austria ; Rangoon,
Burmah.
Many foreign governments will not
permit the manufacture and sale of
proprietary medicines of any name or
nature until their formula;, valuo and
harmesHuess are by them established,
after the most searching sfiientlflc in'
quiries. In every caso Warner’s safo
cure has passed examination with the
highost satisfaction to tho government
chemists and analysts, and tho Bought-
for permission has been granted, which
no o'her American has_ before secured
This confirms the magnificent repu'
tion given to it by loading physicians,
ministers, senators, congressmen, law-
yers and ladies of tho world. “Its
secret of success.” says the leading
physician at Clifton Springs, N. Y.,
sanitarium, “is the simplioity of its
compounds and the proportions in
which they aro compounded.”
"How do tho people get on?”
Tho; universal verdict is: “We
don't miss tho ’phone, except to our
profit.
There has been practically no break
in tho united opposition begun last
November.
i he American is getting to be quite
as tcnacius of his personal rights as
against conspiring monopolies as is the
typical Englishman, and this Rochester
telephono episode is a noteworthy
illustration of tho fact.
ACCIDENT Tu A BOY.
Baird. 'Tex., Nov. 6.—Little Coke,
(on cf Judgo .J. E. Thomas, was run
over by a cow Wednesday, causing a
compound fracture of the right arm.
A physician dressed the arm and the
