had been disturbed. It was reported on
the streets during the day that an em-
ploye who had taken too much budge on
board the night before, having occasion
to enter the bank, forgot to lock the d^>or

say the least of it.

The variety, theatre doesn't appear to
be a howling'success. Soda water at a

nent degree, those exhilerating properties
which are so essential to the social as
well as financial success of such institu-
tions. A few female "charmers" on the
stage will draw a crowd for a night or
two, but to coax the baldheaded tellows
to open their wallets and do the hand-
some thing by the girls requires the wine
vhich sizzles as an auxiliary. No; plain
soda water is too frigid in its nature, and
up to date the show has been a dismal

ments, all contributed to the pleasures of
the evening.

Last March a young man living in
West Denison was united in marriage to
a country lassie who lived with her
widowed mother about four miles from
the city. The young husband went to
live with wile and mother-in-law but tor-
tune did not smile on the trio, and some
two or three weeks since the young tolks
moved to Denison. The 1 igs, chickens
and household plunder were brought
along, but the move did not restore peace,
as was expected. The Gazetteer re-
porter met the young man Tuesday on
Main street, and the appearance of the 10-
month's groom was anything but pleas-
ant. "I have only two pigs and a rooster,"
said he, "and I want to get rid of them.
I ca'me to town to get work for a living
and could have started in Monday morn-
ing but I saw there was no use of me try-
ing to get along any longer. I have tried
to live right, God being my helper, but I
see there is no use trying. The folks
will be in to-morrow with a wagon for
the things and my wite." Saying this
the young man's eyes filled with tears
and ever and anon he would swallow his
emotions. The young man's address be-
trays stupidity and ignorance, and no
doubt the lady did an excellent thing to
give him the shake

selves no doubt.

emigrated to Kansas at an early day when
the buffalo roamed in the vicinity ot
what is now Topeka, the capital, and set-
tled at St. Mary's, where she had kinfolk
among the Pattawatomies. From that
time to the pre^nt her lite has been de-
voted to Catholic missionary work, and
the progress ot her race. She is now too
far ad\ anced in years to do a great deal,
but her past is a noble record, which has
earned for her the love and esteem ot all
who know her. The Gazetteer '.trusts
the good lady will be pleased with her
visit to our citv.

turned trom a very pleasant visit to Dal-

The Pauline Had opera company of
65 people will be at Wilkinson's opera
house, Thursday eve, January 18. The
New Orleans Picavnine of January t, has
this to say of the opera and company:
There was a good attendance at the
G'a>'d opera house last night to see Paul-
ine Hall and Richard Golden in the new
comic opera called "The Honeymoon-
ers," the book of which Is by C. M. S.
McLellan and the music by William
j Furst. The plot is a frail one, as is
usual in this class of stage entertain-
ments, but it is neat and amusing, and is
developed by a series of decidedly quaint
episodes. The music is bright, graceful
and merry, and the stage settings and
arrangements most beautiful. Miss Hall
plays a wandering Swiss lad, a dainty
role with opportunities for ravishing cos-
tun.ing, and sings several catchy solos.
Her supporting company is one in every
way worthy of her. Richard Golden, an
excellent eccentric comedian, who has
been seen and admired in New Orleans
betore, has a splendid opport"nity to dis-
play his versatile talents and makes the
best of it. The performance, on the
whole, was a bright and merry one, wilh
well trained and pretty chorus girls,
wearing gorgeous costumes on shapely
figures. "The Honeymooners" will
hold the boards at the Grand opera house
this week.

The Uniform Rank, Knights of
Pythias, are planning to attend the
national encampfiient at Washing-
ton, D. C., next August as a divis-

sum of money. Their scheme for
raising it is certainly commendable
and should be sustained. The en-
gagement of the Shipj) Brothers'
English Hand-Bell Ringers Com-
pany for Friday evening, January
17, is the first of a series of superior
attractions that have been engaged
by this division. Give the boys a

passing enjoyment for yourself and
family.
Mr. Sam Hanna astonished his friends
early last week by sending a telegram to
Congressman Bailey, peremptorily in-
structing him to withdraw his name as a
candidate for the postoffice. There is lit-
tle doubt that Mr. Hanna would have re-
ceived the appointment if he had had the
nerve to stick. It surely looks like unlair
treatment of Mr. Bailey and his friend*
here to withdraw, but he says his health
is poor and the excitement of a contest
made him so nervous, that his family in-
sisted upon his abandoning the race. No
Thursday evening the mayor, seven
councilmen, the city secretary, a num-
ber of head* of department* and a fair
sprinkle of spectator* were piesent at the
regular adjourned meeting ot the city
council. Councilman Legate, atter the
reading ot the minute* of the Ia*t meet-
ing suggested that a change be made in
that part ot the record relative to the dis-
missal of the suit ot J. J. Prlngle, vs.
the City ot Denison. The minute*, as
recorded, were correct, but in as much
as the city did not gain many suit* he
thought the statement of the case should
be more explicit. The suggestion was
adopted and the consideration and al-
lowment of bills began.
The bills included a number of small
accounts for expenses to Sherman, wit-
nesses in the Annie Warren and J. J.
Prlngle suits, and the unallowed bills for
street improvements, brought over from
last week on the account of the absence
of Chairman Rhamy of the street and
alley committee. The bill of J. W. Fike
tor stone work on East Main street was
much larger than any member of the
council contemplated t?ut in as much as
the stone was worth more than tne cost
ot excavation and as the city could sell It
at an advantage, at a moment's notice no
one could possibly object to the work.
Total amounts ot the bills allowed
against the various funds were as follows:
General revenue ....
Street and alley
Street improvement.
Original bond .........

W. B. Simpson notified that the sewer
on his farm neai Red river was out ot re-
pair, and on motion of Councilman Le-
gate the secretary was instructed to notify
Sewer Contractor J. H. Nolan and to In-
form him that he would be expected to
place the sewer in good condition.
Citizens from the Third ward present-
ed a petition relative to the establish-
ment of an extra lamp in that ward.
Petition referred to Councilmen Legate
and Baker,
Chairman Tobin, of the fire committee,
and W. T. Yocom, chief of the fire de-
partment, submitted reports relative to
the burning ot the residence of Mr. Dan
Brown, on East Morton street.
In substance the report ot Mr. Yocom
was as follows:
On the night in question the fire de-
partment responded to the fire alarm,
and atter crossing the railway tracks on
Sears street it was apparent that the loca-
tion of the fire was beyond reach of the
city hose. He did not think it wise to
carry the department so far away, leav-
ing the entire city without protection;
h^nce the department returned to head-
quarters.
Chairman Tobin, of the fire commit-
tee, stated that he went with the fire de^
partment on the night in question as far
as the railway crossing, and he fully con-
curred In the judgment ot the fire chief
His report went on to state that that part of
the city north of Main street and east ot the
Houston & Texas Central railway tracks
was virtually without protection. The
hydrant at the Sears street crossing was
on the west side of the tracks and any
fire that might occur on the opposite side
would require the laying of the hose
across the tracks. Trains and engines
were constantly passing and it would be
almost if not quite impossible to prevent
the hose being cut to pieces. He there
tore recommended that the city locate a
hydrant at some point in the First ward
east of the tracks.
Both reports were accepted and or
dered filed.
The committee on lights asked for fur-
ther time to report on the matter of con
ference with the railroad officials con-
cerning the establishment of arc lamps
at certain street crossings. Councilman
Rhamy moved that a committee of three
be'appolnted to confer with the railroad
officials. Councilman Legate offered
a substitute that the light committee be
granted further tTme and that Its report
be brought In at the next meeting. All
of the motions together with the substi-
tute were voted down.
Councilman Hewitt moved that the
city secretary be instructed to notify the
proper officers of the railway companies
of the action of the council at a former
meeting, requiring them to establish
lamps at certain crossings. Carried
The sanitary committee to whom was
referred the petition ot the Jewish Ceme
tery association, asking for a well to be
dug in their cemetery at public expense,
reported, recommending that petition be
not granted. Report accepted and
adopted. • v
Bill of Messrs. Maughs & Peck tor
$250 tor legal services was referred to the
finance committee.
Councilman Rhamy moved that the
city engineer be instructed to prepare
plans and furnish estimate of cost ot
storm water sewer along the alley be-
tween Main and Woodard streets, from
Rusk to Austin avenue. Carried.
The city secretary was Instructed to
correspond, with dealers and procure
figures on the cost of oak lumber in car
lots.
On motion of Councilman O'Don
nell the council proceeded to open
and consider bids for the repair of the
Fourth ward colored school building
The bids submitted were:
Mace and Kilgore, $2,430.
Hanna Bros., $2,200.
Knaur and Knaur, $2,100.
On motion of Councilman Hewitt the
bid ot Messrs. Knaur & Knaur was ac-
cepted, and the mayor and city secretary
were instructed to prepare and enter into
contract in behalf of the city for said
work.
On motion of Councilman Hewitt bids
for the improvement on East Johnson
street were opened. The bid ot R. J.
Donner, 9 1-2 cents per cubic yard, being
the cheapest, the contract was awarded
him, work to begin when petitioners ask-
ing tor said work place their subscrip-
tions in bank to credit of city.
Bond of Ed Butland for $100 for the
Improvement of the subway on Crawford
street, was accepted and ordered filed.
The secretary was instructed to adver-
tise tor bids for the construction of street
crossings according to specifications to
be furnished by the city engineer.
The city attorney informed the council
that the strtt ot Ryan against the city had
been settled in the district court at Sher-
man by decree, giving to Ryan the land
in question with no cost to the city.
Dan Brown addressed the council in
reference to the burning of his residence.
His remarks were, in substance, a repeti-
tion of those last week, extended mention
.of which was made in the last issue of
the Gazetteer. .
