.Leading' Music School.
Corner Main and First streets.
One block from city school
and two blocks from Hocker
high school. Mrs. C. H. Mont-
gomery’s music school will open
the first Monday in Sv. ptember,
which will be the sixth year.
Five years of successful teaching
in the same town, and a full class
-each year speaks for a first class
1 teacher. Conservatory method in
theory, harmony, vocal and in-
strumental music is, and has
.always been taught.
Those wishing a first class
teacher with nine years exper-
ience should see Mrs. Montgom-
ery. Satisfaction guaranteed or
money refunded.
The sage who wrote the woi ds,
“If at first you don’t succeed, try
try again.” evidently had never
been in a dental chair. A feeling
of satisfaction comes over one a
the end of a long experience in
the hands of a dentist, but lo,
j when flaws are discovered, that
precious guarantee, which as the
gentle brook goes on and on for
ever, and as Mephisto, with his
satanic grin, gently reminds you
g^:>f your former experience to be
repeated ad libitum, Dickason’s
policy is success a first trial, or
stop and learn how.
A party of serenade rs were out
Tuesday night discoursing sweet
music, vocal and instrumental.
The party was composed of Mrs
May Singletary, Misses Bessie
Andrew and Fannie Holland;
Messrs. Jack Skinner, Ben Gross,
E. J. Burns, Fields and Raymond
Senterfitt.

Tlie Water Works Bond Suit.
As is generally known, suit has
been pending for some time au the
United States circuit court at
Austin to test the validity of the
water works bonds issued by the
city of Lampasas in 1885. The
question before the court was the
validity of the bonds floated by the
city to build the water works,
$40,000, with thirteen years’ in-
terest, being involved.
In 1890 the state supreme court
decided that the city government
under which the bonds were is-
sued was illegal; that the city
government instituted April 21,
1873, which had been allowed to
lapse by unanimous consent, was
still in existence, and that all the
acts of the city government insti-
tuted April 17, 1883, were illegal.
The case came up for trial at
the present term of the Federal
court in Austin and was decided
Saturday in favor of the bond-
holders and against the city.
The defendant was represented
by Messrs. Matthews & Browning
and Fiset & Miller of Austin.
The case has been appealed to
the United States supreme court.
County Commissioner J. S. Gib-
son, of luecinct No. 2, has for-
sake^ his bachelor ways and joined
the noble army of benedicts.
Without asking permission he
slipped off to Randall county, up
in the Panhandle, where on Wed-
nesday he was married to Miss
Ada Sullivan, whose father for-
merly lived in the Bend. Those
acquainted with the bride say
that Mr. Gibson has made a splen-
did selection for u wife, and every-
body knows that he will make an
excellent husband. Bon voyage
to the happy couple,-
/
Cliaslng the Murderer.
Ever since the night of the
murder of Frank Wells the offi-
cers have spared no efforts to cap-
ture his assassin, Alex. West.
He was crowded so closely Fri-
day near Lometa that he aban-
doned his horse and took to Mr.
Milton Miller’s corn field for
refuge, and was chased from
there to the mountains on Sim’s
creek, and from thence to. the
shin oak thickets, four miles east
of Goldthwaite, where all trace
of him was lost. This is the best
hiding place in the country, as
the undergrowth is almost im-
penetrable. Sheriff *Wolf spent
five days in faithful but fruitless
search.
The horse West was riding was
stolen from Mrs. P. Brown and
the saddle from W. T. Munger,
and these, with the gun belonging
to Rile McFadden, and with which
the murder was committed, were
recovered and restored to their
lawful owners.
August Delineator at W.
Barnes.
Kingsley, the 8-year-old son of
Mr. R. D. McHenry, was acci-
dentally run over by a buggy
Wednesday afternoon and badly,
though not dangerously, hurt.
The skin on his head was cut to
the skull and his shoulder badly
bruised.
Dr. J. W. Hamilton is able to
be out after several days’ illness.
Horace Griffin, the well known
and popular young colored bar-
ber, went over to Burnet Wed-
nesday, where he was quietly
married to Miss Emma Dunson.
Horace’s many friends, white and
colored, extend congratulations*.
