Mr. Louis Lebrecht, the wholesale

tin the interior of his mammoth sales-

cRses of cigars, which recently filled the
place In a chaotic heap, have been un-
packed and removed and their contents
arranged in towering piles upon a dozen
Ipng tables made tor the purpose, placed
crosswise of the room. The stock as now
displayed has a fine appearance trom tne

traveller, Mr. John Leuders, has recently
returned from a specially success! il trip
in the Territory, while orders from out-
lying Texas towns have been of a highly

tepidly increasing and the tact is unmis-

The zeal manifested by one or two city
officials at the Council meeting a few
night ago to have Mr. Radeleff hunted up
and arrested is remarkable, considering
that Thompson and Smith, who were
known to be defaulters thousands ot dol-
lars were allowed to stay in the city for
weeks unmolested. It would seem that
in the opinion of some persons the great-
er the crime the less stir should be made
about it. Mr. Radeleff is no thief at
bean. He is guilty of an irregularity, but
it was done when insane with drink. No
sane man occuping the position Mr.
Radeleff did would have made hlmsclt an
outlaw for the paltry sum ot $90. The
other men alluded to coolly and deliber-
ately robbed the city, but if there was
ever any determined attempt made to
filing them back and answer tor their
crimes we never heard of it.

A fatal accident occurred Thursday af-
ternoon upon the depot platform at Tex-
arkana. Two Pacific Express messengers,
Longstatf ami English, one running on
the main line ot the Texas and Pacific,
and the other on the Transcontinental,
were at the depot together waiting to go
out On their respective runs and were ex-
amining a pistol belonging to Longstatf
when it being in the hands of English, it
accidentally exploded the ball striking
Longstatf, killing him instantly. Both
young men are known in Denison as ex-
emplary fellows, Longstaff being de-
scribed by his fellow expressmen as one
ot the best men in the service. English
is wild with grief anti refuses to be con-
soled. He charges himself with the death
of Longstatf, and his remose has entirely
unfitted him for service. Longstatf*is a
brother-in-law of Agent Thompson, ot j
Texarkana, tor whose family and all con- !
cerned much commiseration is telt in this
city.

Lizzie Evans lett the state last week.
She opens in St. Louis Monday evening.
MUton Nobles will enter the state this

pany, will visit us in January. He is now

The attractions at the McDougall opera
house this week—Monday evening, the
Golden Troupe; Saturday evening, “The

Mr. J. E Franklin, agent for the Gol-
dens, contracted with Murray’s Steam
Printing House last week for his Texas
dates.
Florence Bindley company’s agent was
trying to get the 19th for his company-
last week, but Manager O’Malev thought
three shows in one week was more than
our people could stand.
Jane Coombs has a date at the NJcDou-
gall for November 23. Miss Coombs will
be the first emotional actress to visit us
this season, and we hope to see her ac-
corded a hearty reception.
Florence Bindley, in “A Heroine of
Rags,” and “The Stranglers of Paris,”
are in the state, but we believe neither of
these companies have a date at the Mc-
Dougall.
Newton Beers, in the play, “Lost in
London,” is now in the South. Mr.
Beers visited Denison a few seasons since
in the play ot “Only a Woman’s Heart,”
and made a host of friends who would be
glad to see him again.
The Gazetteer is placed under obliga-
tions to Manager John W. Dunne, of the
Patti Rosa company, for a life-size photo-
graph of Miss Patti Rosa, received last
week, which now occupies a conspicuous
place iri the Gazetteer office. The pic-
ture is the subject of admiration from
every visitor to the office.
C. R. Gardiner, tnanagerof the “Zozo”
company, told the manager ot the Fort
Worth Opera House that the stage of the
McDougall opera house was too small to
put up the scenery for “Zozo.” Mr.
Gardiner should have said so, and not
advertised the piece to be presented as in
larger cities. No, the stage of the Mc-
Dougall was not too small, but the scen-
ery didn’t show up in Denison at all.
The Savannah, Ga., Morning News of
a late date, speaks of the Bijou Opera
company’s engagement in that city week
before last jn very high terms, and winds
up a very long criticism by saying, that
“the company is an exceptionally well
balanced one. All the members are
pleasing in singing and acting. The
choruses were effective and well re-
hearsed. As a whole the opera was well
put on and was capitally given ”
There was a large attendance at the Howard
last evening to see “The Two Johns,*' a farcical
comedy in three acts, as presented by Mr. J. C.
Stewart's comedy company. The plot turns on
the similarity In appearance of two men. They
are constantly being taken for one another, as the
two Dromios are in the “Comedy ot Errors.**
The audience was kept laughing all the evening
at the mistakes made in the identity of the two
leading characters, impersonated by Messrs. J. C.
Stewart and Paul Dresser. The support was good ,
an the audieace showed its appreciation ot the
efforts of the company by frequent and well-
merited applause.—Boston T. velier.
This excellent company will be at the
McDougall next Saturday evening, and
we have been assured that Denison has
never betore been visited bv a company
the equal ot “The Two Johns.”
Til* Goldino.— By request this famous com
panv repeated the great emotional drama
‘‘Martyr’* which took so amazingly last Monday.
The central attraction is the Countess de Moray,
impersonated so inimitably by Bella (»olden, the
people’s great favorite. There are touches of
numan nature brought out bv perfect acting that
breaks the audience ail up with emotion. The le-
verse feelings pushed to the very extreme, are
suddenly produced bv the laughable positions,
comic expressions and plain matter <4 fact ques-
tion? and statements of the greatly admired Harry
Kobinson. Martin Golden made a splendid count,
and G. A. Almond excelled as an admirable. G.
T. Martin, whose life was brief, also deserves
special mention. The entire support, including
Mrs. Savage who always gives satisfaction, did
excellent work last night anu applause
* ----------- audience. The orcn^ti
Miss Louise Balfe, now filling an en-
| gageinent in the southern cities in the
j great’ comedy-drama, by John Harrison,
Esq., entitled, “Dagmar,” is credited
with being one of the coming actresses ot
the,day. The Macon, Ga., Daily Tele-
graph says:
She came to Macon unheralded by the glare and
fulsome show bill, and without the flattery of in-
discriminating press notices, and by her first
night’s performance made her genius, grace and
beauty the talk ot every breakfast table in Central
Citv. Miss Ballet emphatically the lady actress
of the stage to day. She is a woman of refined
manner, graceful mien, and innate refinement that
is as refreshing as is her acting. The woman’s
power lies in her comprehension and profound
sympathy. Her nature,- is deeper than even the
strong character of Daginar. No one who saw
her in the las* scene, where she forces a confession
from her worst male enemy, the “heavy villain”
of the play, can but admit that she is the mistress
of the mimic art. Who that witnessed her ready
transitions trom banter to sarcasm, from sham af-
fection to violent and real scorn, did not feel a
revelation of perfect art. But Miss Balfe gives
other evidence ot her excellent and most carefully
accurate training in the stage art; she is as
piquant in the bits of comedy that sparkle here and
there in the play, as she is forceful in the supreme
moment of tragic vindication.
Mr. f. E. Franklin, the affable agent of
the Golden Troupe, was in the city Wed-
nesday making arrangements for the ap-
pearance of his company at the McDou-
gall on Monday evening, 15th inst. Two
weeks ago this company was compelled
by continued sickness to suspend playing
at Greenville, and have remained in that
town till the present time waiting for
their people to recover sufficiently to be
able to go forward with their season’s
business. By this casualty they have been
compelled to surrender all their advance
dates, and will be obliged to fill dates
promiscuously wherever they can be sje
cured until another route can be arrang-
ed. The dengue-stricken actors are,
however, all well again and the company
re-opened at Greenville Friday night to
well filled and well pleased house. This
popular company will appear at the Mc-
Dougall Monday night in their great play
“The Martyr,” when we hope that our
citizens will turn out cm mass and give
them the best reception they ever had
The famous Golden band will be upon
the street in the afternoon and no one
should fail to hear them or see their

city and Dallas, who called upon them/
about 9 o'clock, and unceremoniously

a late hour, and all. who were present de-
clare it the most delightful episode of

over in a most charming manner bv the
ladies of the house, in praise ot whose
hospitality the entire company ate most
enthusiastic.
Miss Lena Reams, of Reams Station, I.

pedition.
Miss Blanche Sage arrived in the city
Friday from Denver, Colorado, where
she has been visiting since August.
Mrs. Max. Grundstein and son Clar-
ence, accompanied by Miss Rosa Stone,

Mrs. Grundstein’s parents,. Mr. and Mrs.
E. Eppstein.
The attendance at the Bachelor’s
hop, given at the Colonnade Thursday
night, in consequence of the inclement
weather was not largely attended, but
those who were present, we are told, en-
joyed an excellent time.
In the midst ot all our excitement over !
the water works celebration we must not !
forget the Vorwarts ball, which comes off
on the 25th. We may have a good time j
next Monday but- we can never overtake
the enjoyment at anytime that we realize
from one of the Vorwarts hops. They
are the events of all seasons, and stand
without a parallel among the amusements
of Denison. Tickets are on sale by
committee.
Strangers on Oar Streets.
What a convenience it would be to
have made known, by painted signs, the
names of our principal streets. A stran-
ger coming to the city if he wishes to
find any particular place is compelled to
hire a guide, or search all day vainly tor
if, as no description of localities will en-
able him to do so, and all owing to the
tact that only people who have lived a
long time in the citv know the names of
the streets. At a very small cost the
names could be painted upon the lamps,
and for a little extra the houses could be
numbered, and there could be establish-
ed a state ot things which should exist in
every well regulated town, and which
does exist in every place laying legitimate
claim to civic importance. We were
amused at a matter in this connection
which came under our notice Thursday.
A gentleman trom Fort Worth met
friend on the corner of Houston avenue
and Main street, who has been living in
the city for the past seven months, and
after shaking hands, enquired fora place
which is situated on Main street, west ot
Burnett avenue. Ilis friend replied:
“That’s just west of Gallagher's livery
stable.”
“Where’s Gallagher’s livery stabler”
“fust opposite the post office.”
“And where's the post office?”
“On a street tour blocks above this.”
•‘What’s the name ot the street?’’
“Hanged it 1 know, but I’ll walk up
with you, and show you where it is ”
“Why!” said the Fort Worth man, “I
thought from the wav you people blow on
Denison, that I would find something
ahead of Fort Worth,'but it’s only Indian
villages that haven’t their streets marked,
and their houses numbered.”
The cost of thus publicly describing the
streets w-puld be but little, and it is a
matter which deserves the attention of
our City Fathers.

; among their personal, friends some of the
j firsf people ot the city, and-'are the pos-
sessors of histrionic talents which have
received the endorsement of the press
critics in every part ot the South and
West. These circumstances, added to the
fact of their recent unfortunate and con-
tinued sickness, will cause the attendance
at the opera house Monday night to be
large and their reception cordial. Harrv
Robinson, the inimitable Harry, is still
with the company, and looking as young . ,

effect on Harry, he w«s too ugly. Ida
May Blake, who will be rena#nbered as a
versatile soubrette, who gfcne through
here about three TMn%> with th* Lam-
bert & Richards dramatic company,
joined the Goldens at Greenville last
week and w ill constitute one ot the cast
Mondav night. The play to be produced
on this occasion is one of rare Interest:
and merit, and will show this strong
company in their strongest possible j
aspect. The Goldens pay a royalty for *
the right of its production and are the J
onlv company in the South possessing j
this right. The band and orchestra are |
up to their usual high standard and will j
render the finest instrumental music our j
citizens have heard this season. Mr. and
Mrs. Golden will be glad to see their
numerous old friends, and 'we hope to see
every one turn out and give this deserving
company an ovation.

A Grand Opportunity-
The proprietor of the Sunday Gazett-
eer has been so fortunate as to make an
arrangement with the proprietor of the
Yarmouthport, Mass., Mayflower, a hand-
some 48-column weekly paper, specially
devoted to the interests of the home
which he is enabled to send it
and tfie Sunday Gazetteer for only $2 a
year. .No subscriptions under this ar-
rangement will be taken for less than one
year. Tfiis proposition is open to all
new subscribers, and all old patrons who
pay up what they now owe. The terms
are strictly in advance. To supply this
valuable premium cuts down our profits
on the subscription list to a minimum,
but we expect thereby to double our cir-
culation, and thus increase our value as
an advertising medium. Sample copies |
of “The Mayflower” will be sent to all j
subscribers this week, and we .-ask them j
to show the paper to their friends, and ;
see if they can’t increase the circulation j
of the Gazetteer in their neigborhood,
To go to Pettit & Waltz and have
your plumbing done.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
The Gazette** will devote particular attention
to railroad matters, more especially of a local
character. This will be one of the leading features
of this paper. We desire the cooperation ot rail-
way employe*. If you Enow of any railway news
call or communicate with the Gazetteer.

division Missouri Pacific, went to Dallas
Tuesday, via the Houston & Texas Cen-
tral railway.
The Missouri Pacific train from the
north was two hours late Tuesday owing
to the locomotive leaving the track near
Muskogee. No damage was done; the
only inconvenience occasioned being the
loss of time.
The Missouri Pacific railway company
was selling tickets on the nth to Califor-
nia for $fio for the round trip. Tickets
good for thirty days each way, and good
for six months to return.
The company having the contract for
constructing the Taylor and Bastrop ex-
tension of the Missouri Pacific, is adver-
tising in the city for men, and offering
$1.75 per dav for common laborers.
There was an empty car smash-up in
the Missouri Pacific yard Monday night.
A yard engine was running several cars
down the track at a pretty smart rate,
when they came abruptly against some
empty stuck cars which were standing
upon the same track. The consequence
was that several drawneads were broken
and two or three cars badly splintered up.
The doubling out by train men on the
Missouri Pacific, which has been< caused
by the dengue, has at length worked its
own salvation and by the doubling out of
Conductor Slough on 51 the conductors
are brought back in proper juxtaposition
with their respective crews.
Wm. Kerrigan, general superintendent
of the Missouri Pacific, assistant super-
intendent T. J. Golden, and roadmaster
Conley were in the city Monday In their
special car. At Taylor the party was

Passenger conductor Wm. K. Maxwell,

Harry J. Scullin, ot the Denison and
Washita Valley R’y, left on the night
train for the Territory for a hunt. From
there he will go to St. Louis, his home.
Harry says it will be some time before he
can pay our pleasant city another visit, as
he goes into the Denison & Washita office
at St. Louis.
Quite a serious accident happened
Tuesday morning to freight conductor
Lobestein, of the Missouri Pacific, at
Bells, on the Mineola branch. He was
making a coupling on two lumber cars
which were loaded so that the upper tiers
of lumber projected beyond the ends of
the cars themselves, and when they came
together there was not room tor his head
which received quite a severe crushing.
He was brought to Denison and his in-
juries dressed by Dr. Achescn, and was
sent on the afternoon train to the hospital
at Fort Worth.
Most of the train crews on the Missouri
Pacific ate putting in about eight hours
extra time every day. Freight traffic is
exceptionally heavy and men are hardly
procurable in sufficient numbers to run
the trains which follow each other in an
endless procession along the line.
The big excursion train on the Missouri
Pacific, en-route tor California, arrived in
the city at 4:30 o’clock Thursday after-
noon. The excursionists consisted ot
eighty-tour persons, mostly from St
Louis, occupying six coaches and two
through sleepers. At this point there
were added to their number Uncle Henry
Steinthal, Uncle W. M. Bennett and
others to the number of seventeen, mak
ing in all 103. The excursion is in charge
of Capt. John E. Ennis,- while the sleep-
ers arc under the care and control of the
popular veteran Pullman car conductor,
“Tip” Clayton. Another excursion train
left St. Louis behind this one, having on
board eighty-six people
Judge Baker, one of the Missouri Pad
fic attorneys at Houston, andG. J. Gooch,
also ot Houston, arrived from the south
on the Mineola line at 11:30 Wednesday
night, had their special car transferred to
the Houston & Texas Central and went
on to Dallas at 3 o’clock in the morning.'
There were three Jersey calves in crates
in the Pacific Express office Thursday,
which were big enough to half fill
car. They were en-route trom Urbana,
Ohio, to T. J. Lacey, ot Henderson,
Texas.
Pearl Gumpert, the handsome young
fireman, has given up the position ot
hostler in the Missouri Pacific yards, and
gone back to his old love, passenger en-
gine, No. 26, with Tom Murphy at the
throttle. Now Murphy and the “Kid’
can be seen sailing out of the yard like a
pair of jolly old salts.
South-bound train, No. 153, which left
Denison at 2 130 a.m. Monday, collided at
Deaver Switch with a freight and stock
train, coming north, drawn by engine No.
56. It seems that the freight had pulled
off of the main line but the north end of
the switch had been left open and the
consequence was a meeting took place,
which was both sudden and unexpected;
notwithstanding the tact that the collision
was sufficiently violent to break up both
engines and throw a number oP freight
cars from the track and kill about seventy
five head of sheep and one horse, nobody
on either train was badly injured.
Mr. W. B. Munson hex gone east In the
interest of the Denison & Washita rail-
way, and upon his retiErn we may look for
something definite in the direction ot the
commencement of active operations in
its construction. We are informed that
the surveying party have been notified to
hold themselves in readiness as another
survey may be made at any time.
The following is a list of Missouri Pa-
cific railway casualities since Nov. 6, sent
to the hospital at Fort Worth:
Nov. 6.—N. P. Kirkland, section man,
had his thumb badly mashed between
two rails on push car.
Nov. 8.—Fred Crane, fireman, fell off
engine at Eufaula. Bruise of sacrum.
Nov 8.—J. E. Patterson, machinist, had
his foot mashed by bar of iron falling
on it in the shop.

shoulder bruised by being thrown from
car in wreck at Deaver.
Nov. 8.—E. D. Andrews, brakeman, fell
from car at Lone Oak ; had his shoul-
der bruised.
Nov. 9.—Lobstein, freight conductor, had
head seriously mashed at Bells; has a
family a Longview.
The trial of Mylan, Cordroy, Owens
and Davis, under arrest for participancy
in the car robberies on the Mla*ouri
Pacific in September, which was to have
come up in the United States court at
Fort Smith on the 4th of this month, was
continued until February 12th.
Missouri Pacific fireman Walter Ells-
worth, who has been to Fort Smith as a
witness in the Missouri Pacific car rob-
bery case, returned to the city Thursday.
A mysterious looking lady, aged
about 50, got off the Sherman train
yesterday at 12:15, closely followed
by two Sherman policemen, who
were recognized by our reporter,
smelling a mouse trom the evident
haste of the lady and the watchful-
ness of the policemen. Our repre-
sentative resolved to keep his peep-
er* open for developments. ' The
lady crossed the tracks rapidly am
took a seat in the Main street car,
which started immediately. The
policemen kept to the sidewalk,
walking very rapidly in the same
direction. Opposite the White Ele-
phant she got out, and looking very
hurriedly up and down the street,
she asked a bootblack the way to a
respectable boarding - house. The
boy seemed unable to give her the
proper direction, and she staggered
and wonld have fallen but for the
help of one of the Sherman police,
who had reached her by this time.
“Madame,” he said, “you must
come with us. It is a painful duty,
but we must obey orders. You
must go back with us to Sherman.”
“Oh, my God,” she cried, “what
have I done. This is some terrible
mistake.” “Are you not the lady,”
he asked with apparent astonish-
ment, “who escaped trom the smok-
ing ruins of the far-famed Binkley
House during the great conflagra-
tion and fled aimlessly void of cloth-
ing and understanding to the wilder-
ness in the vicinity of Denison?”
Oh no, sir, I am not that lady, sir,
you will find her down the street
buying dry goods. I only came over
to get some of the bargains at Har-
ben’s 5 & 10 cent store. Please, let
me go in now, sir, I see so many
customers within that I am afraid I
can’t get waited on.”
Moral—Never be cheated jnto
paying two prices for your notions,
but “Go there and do likewise.”
