citizen behind the bar but on investigat-
ing the matter it proved that the man
had been sent up by the Lone Star

teen as some complaint had been
made about it. On discovering the trutli

do not think it woul be Just to allow a
civilian to work where a soldier could as
they would like to see the money which
would be paid to the citizen go to a sol-
dier as extra duty pay.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
The death of Aiderman Corbett creates
more than a vacant seat in the city coun-
cil; he was an honest kind-hearted man.
The advocacy of corporeal punishment
hi our public schools by the Express is an
evidence of the utter inability of its ed-
itor to get abreast with the civilization of
the age.
Corporeal punishment was one entire-
ly abolished' in our public schools but
has been allowed to creep in under a rule
that children can be punished if the par-
ents permit it. It is only the children of
the poor who arc whipped.
The man or woman that strikes a child
should be tried for aggravated assault
and battery. Poor parents complained
to about the little offenses of their chil-
dren submit to them being . stripped by
public school teachers rather than have
them put out of school.
Poverty ill-regulated homes ignorance
of parents fiends brutality and it is the
little tods who are beaten at home that
are beaten bruised and knocked about by
half-fledged maiden school inarms or
heartless pedagogues at school these
little fellows should find in the public
schools au asylum from brutality. It
would ne the most valuable partof their
education.
Christ never taught a lesson of brutality
but pointed to childhood as the highest
and purest type of humanity.
Men who are fond of telling of the hap-
piness they enjoyed under the teacher’s
rod. have simply forgotten the sorrows of
childhood. Time blots out even the
wounds of maturerlife.

Ministerial Protest Answered.
To the Public:
San Antonio October 6.
In answer to the published protest of
the San Antonio Ministerial Association
over the signature of E. E. King presi-
dent. and W. B. Preston secretary the
officials of the German Day celebration
respectfully Imtdecidedly protest against
the charge made by that body and we do
deny that any desecration is intended
nor do we believe that any will take place.
According to the laws of this country
every one has the right to worship Crea-
tion according to his own conscience and
the closing of this German Day celebra-
tion on Sunday night is only one form of
public worstiip in which the parties par-
ticipating offer their sincerest reverence
to such Creation for their existence and
for the privilege of participation in the
exercises of the celebration and for the
advances made from remote superstitions
to the more liberal views and ideas of to-
day. This procession on Sunday night is
intense 1 to create a feeling of reverence
a id thanks to Creation as much so as any
other act of worship All the different
religious of all ages and all the
sects of Christendom have had
their public processions and cere-
monials and have them today. David
of old danced to music on the public
highway before the holy shrine and nu-
merous examples prove that it is fully in
keeping with religious views to have
public celebrations. Whatever the indi-
vidual may feel on such an occasion or
what hi- may think is entirely a matter o
be settled between himself and Creation.
Hoping that the Ministerial Associa-
tion of this city will be able to see from
this that no irriverence is intended and
that their protest has arisen from a mis-
understanding of the spirit in which this
celebration was conceived.
Respectfully Edgar Schramm.
Prest. German Day.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Union Stock Yards Chicago )
Oct. 6 1891. f
Special to the Light. 1
Cattle receipts at our three leading
markets have been about 20 per cent
lighter for this than the previous week.
Shipments from Chicago have been lib-
era) the past week’s business being fully
up to the week prior.
September receipts of Texas cattle
were 107016 as compared to 102.132 for
September of last year. Since January
Ist this year 491017 head arrived here
against 440476 for the same period last
year; increase for the year so far 30541.
Native cattle have improved iu price
15 to 25 cts. per cwt. and Texans about
15 per cwt. since the close of last week
which was low point this year. Most
excellent rains have fallen in many por-
tions of Texas and abundant pasturage
is assured to sections which were poorly
supplied with grass last fall and winter.
This will probably tend to diminish re-
ceipts of Texas cattle this fall. Wo see
no reason >vhy Texas cattle should not
continue to advance next week unless
western range cattle come to freely and
continue to sell badly as they have the
past week. October 2nd Red Lodge.
Montana reports “Snow three feet deep;
business at a standstill.” When weather
gets bad westerns come liberally re-
gardless of prices.
On yesterday we sold 21 loads of cattle
for the Loving Cattle Co. at the following
prices: 10 loads 674tb cows and heifers at
81.85 to 81.90; 11 loads 7621 b steers 2.45 per
cwt. Quite a few coarse heavy fleshy
steers good enough for eastern buyers
sold here yesterday at 2.60 to 2.70.
We quote today's close as follows:
Cows and heifers 1.70 to 2.00: choice
spayed heifers of good weight 2.20 to 2.30:
canning steers 2.15 to 2.40; dressed beef
and shipping steers 82.55 to 82.90.
A good demand at increased prices
lias prevailed for sheep. Our salesman
places the advance at 15 to 90cts. for the
week.
Weather very warm.
ECHOES FROM WEST END.
Hdqr’s Daily Light. I
West End Oct. 5.1891. i
West End will furnish no items today
but we had the pleasure of meeting in
the city our esteemed friend Capt H. J.
Richarz who had been deprived of the
sense of hearing for several year>. We
deem it worthy of notice to mention for
those afflicted likewise that we were
joyously surprised to find him ready to
carry on a conversation again by means
of a simple instrument made of common
tin. fastened to a copper wire that is in-
serted iu the mouth. He bases his inven-
tion on a complete knowledge of accous-
tics. but is liaoie to find a lawsuit follow-
ing his invention since the tinner who
made It expects to manufacture the
article in quantities wi-hout paying the
Captain a reasonable royalty. I think
Capt. Richarz mentioned Mr. Seffel as the
manufacturer of his patent who feels no
inclination to pay $5000 for royalties.
When this law-suit begins people with
large weak ears will hear something.

Lions Loose In a Circus Ring.
A novel and sensational feature iu the
Adam Forepaugh Shows is the introduc-
tion into the arena of five full-grown
ferocious lions all free and unshaded k
These savage monsters are conrolledt
and performed by Col. Edgar Daniel
Boone and Miss Carlotta assisted by a
magnificent German hunting hound.
In order to insure perfect freedom from
danger on the ;>art of the spectators the
circus ring is surrounded by a lofty and
closely barred steel fence
All these lions are made to climb into
statuesque positions they mount tricy-
cles and propel them assisted by the dog
"Saxon” and engaged in racing harness-
ed to chariots hold banners in their
mouths for the dog to jump over and are
made to perform many other startling
and remarkable acts by their intrepid
trainers.
During the past season these perform-
ing lions were the reigning sensation
throughout Europe and at London and
Paris they were exhibited for weeks in
succession before immense audiences.
They will be seen in Forepaugh Show
which is to exhibit here on Monday Octo-
ber 19th.
