The Missions took two interesting
games from the Hayseeds at Sommer’s
garden last night and are planted in
third place. This is where they will
finish for they have played all their
games on the schedule aud their lead
over the Athletics is too great to over-
come. In both games last night the
result was undecided to the last. The
game was nip aud tuck from the start.
The Missions opened with a lead of
five pius. but they were soon called
down and Captain Gloeckuer’s men
showed their heels to their adversaries
iu the third inning. The score was
twenty to the Hayseeds’ credit. The
Hayseeds continued their good work iu
the fourth inning but when all the
men had liowled it was seen that the
Missions had 19 plus the best of their
opponents in that inuiug. The Hay-
seeds were still in the lead but by only
one pin. the score being 253 to 252.
'The Hayseeds increased their lead in
the fifth by three pins. But the Mis-
sions had another chance. It was the
last inning. The Hayseeds ran amuck
old Fate and the result was disastrous.
Dame Fortune smiled upon the Mis-
sions and the pulled out a victory by a
narrow space of three pins.
The second game was equally inter-
esting. The Hayseeds started iu well
and looked easy winners. Each suc-
ceeding inning resulted iu another ad-
vancement for the Hayseeds until the
fourth liming and the score was then
in favor of the Hayseeds by 26 pins
not a very encouraging state of affairs
for the Missions. In the fifth the Mis-
sions became hopeful. There was a
decided improvement in their work
but the Hayseeds kept up their steady
lick and thereby held down their op-
ponents. In the last inning the Hay-
seeds went to pieces while the Mis-
sions began to steady down. The in-
niug opened with the Mayseeds still iu
the lead by eight pins but it was grad-
ually reduced. The Missions slowly
closed the gap and finally succeeded in
bridging it. Once on the side to vic-
tory they soon distanced the Hayseeds
and when the game was over it was
the Misisons by 22 pius.
Following are the scores by innings.

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
The Holmes-Wolford company at
the Grand opera house filled this large
amusement temple with an apprecia-
tive audience last uight presenting
a very fine version of “The Mystis
Mountain’’ an Arkansas tale very
well balanced with romance and vil-
lainy and well illustrated with the
company's own beautiful scenery.
Each of the actors were well assigned
to their roles Edith Pollock person-
ating the heroine Tibbie Craddock in
a very graceful way while Bert Gag-
non proved himself a strong charac-
ter as the young lover.
Lawrence Holmes was as good a
villain as the term should imply and
Gus Cohen was full of comedy as
Hickory the negro.
The songs and specialties also were
acceptable.

FOUGHT AT CHURCH.
At the masquerade entertainment
given by the Mt. Zion colored Bap-
tist church Saturday night the Excel-
sior guards gave a drill. During the
progress of the drill Elijah Spencer a
colored youth picked a row with Win
Boone one of the members of the
company and after the drill was over
he attacked Boone with a club. Capt.
Ellis arrested him and Recorder
Lewis this morning fined him five dol-
lars.
THE CIRCUS.
Ixirge Crowd Editied By the Perform-
ance Given Last Night.
Stowe Brothers' large circus tent on
Houston aud Nacogdoches streets was
comfortably filled last night for the
first night's performance of the show
and the audience wac well pleased.
The Hagenbeek trained animal exhi-
bition and the horse riding lion were
introduced first the ]>erformnnce Ixdng
given iu a steel ring and was the
chief attraction although tin* remain-
der of the program was of a first class
variety particularly the tumblers and
trapeze performance.
After the regular show a very funny
and laughable concert was given.
The performance is being repeated
this afternoon as the Light goes to
press to a good sized audience and
tonight's performance doses the en-
gagement in this city.
Merit is what has given Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the largest sales in
the world and enables it to accomplish
thousands of wonderful CURES.

The Lovering Reprimani Will Be
Read Everywhere.
Hunters Leave The Post -Non-Com-
missioned $ Promotions—Gen-
eral News of the Post.
Washington D. C„ Dec. 14.—Secre-
tary Alger was shown today a report
in the Chicago Tribune in which the
belief was expressed on the authority
of some of the enlisted men at Fort
Sheridan that the reprimand to Capt.
Ixivering would not lx* read to the
troops but would merely be posted on
the bulletin board for a day or two
and then be promptly removed. As
soon as the matter was called to his
attention Secretary Alger took immedi-
ate action with the energy character-
istic of him. He called in person up-
on Adjutant General Breck and direct-
ed that officer to issue the necessary
orders so the Lovering reprimand shall
be read aloud to the assembled troops
iu every garrison within the United
States which of course includes Fort
Sheridan. The secretary of war was
evidently in earnest in the matter and
said: "This reprimand is contained in
a general order for the express infor-
mation of the entire army and the very
purpose of the reprimand was to assure
the faithful enlisted men that they will
not be made subject to unnecessary
brutality ou the part of their officers.
The order containing the reprimand
was mailed yesterday and they are
now followed by instructions to have
them read so the men in the ranks may
know they have some rights their of-
ficers are bound to respect.”
HUNTERS LEAVE.
The party of hunters composed of
Col. Hall. Lieuts. Lassiter and Grote

Dr. Preston To Go To the Land of
Perpetual Summer.
Dr. L. F. Preston the ouly man in
this or any other country who actual-
ly does cure consumption will leave
Denver about the middle of December
aud take up his residence in San An-
tonio Texas. During the doctors
short stay in Colorado he has made
hosts of friends who regret to see him
go. While here he has permanently
cured hundreds of consumptives and
they all take pleasure in recommend-
ing him to the people of Texas as an
eminent pracitioner and a gentleman.
There is a good field in Texas for
Dr. Preston but while bidding him
good bye the people here do so with
a feeling that he will some day re-
turn and be with them once again.
The above is clipped from the Den-
ver Examiner.
Dr. Preston is with us aud is pre-
pared to do all that his Denver friends
claim for him. He cures by method of
his own discovery and in order to
prove to the people of San Antonio
that he means to do the square thing
by them he will furinsh a guarantee
to those desiring it.
The doctor’s office are rooms 18 and
19 Hicks’ building. Give him a call
as a talk with him will cost nothing.
NOTICE OF REMOVAL.
The Dubinski Electric Co. will re-
move from the corner of St. Mary’s

ton street on January Ist 1898. Be-
fore moving we will sell electric sup-
lies at a bargain also a large and well
assorted stock of electric chandeliers
and shades which to avoid moving
we will sell at reduced prices. 12-11-tf
LOW PRICED ATTRACTIONS.
There are iu recent experiments of
low priced but. first class theatrical
attractions a hint of possible revolu-
tion iu the business reverting in some
manner to the old stock company
days.
For instance Galveston is now en-
joying a season of standard plays by
a callable company in every way equal
to the usual dollar “show.” The man-
agers explain (that by stopping a week
in a town they save enough in railroad
fares to make up the difference in the
price of admissions. It sounds reas-
onable aud the proof of the matter is
given in the attraction itself.
Such ventures are unquestionably
hurting the traveling dollar attrac-
tion. With the prospect of seeing a
good play by clever actors at 10 to 50
cents most people will forego the
passing dollar show. It is a bad ou
the dollar show but it is not bad for
tlie people. Standard dramatic produc-
tions are as wholesome as standard
amusements. If they can get the best
at a nominal cost the same invest-
ment aud will be that much more en-
tertained and uplifted.
What the effect will be on the old
line of traveling attractions is a mat-
ter that must engage the attention of
managers but It will not be regretted
by the people if these experiments
prove to be the rule of the future.—
