THE LAW IN TEXAS.
Ho tVn * Altogether Too Itiuy tu Serve Ills
Hontcncr.
In the county seat of a little Texas
frontier town an illiterate old cattleman
was brought up before the grand jury
for cow-stealing. The old man had been
stealing cows all his life , and looked
upon this , arrest as a joke , thinking that
his money und his influence would bo
able to pull him through , Confacnuontly
ho bat through tlio trial with a look of
sublime unconcern on his face , cutting
oil chew after chow of tobacco , and
whittling a bit of pine with his old Bar
low knife. The evidence , however ,
seems to hava been conclusive , for the
jury retired and speedily returned ,
bringing In a verdict of guilty'tuid , the
judge assessed a term of five years in the
penitentiary.
"Whut'rf that ? " exclaimed the old ras
cal , jumping up and spitting his quid
out , "want's that , gentlemen ? Five
year in the penitentiary ? Mo ? Five
year In yor durncd ole jail that 'u/ built
for hess thieves an' niggers ? Why ,
jedgo , " turning to the bench , "you'll '
have to fix this thing up ! I can't ' go !
I've got three herds of cattle to round
up this week , bound to bo did , yor sco.
Durn yor ole law ! What have I pot to
do with It ? Whul's It got to do with
my mavorloks ? How does it know any
thing about my brand , or m iv yearlings ?
Durn yor law ! Fix it up , jcdgo. You
see how I'm sitiatod. "
The judge was s\n "old timer , " too.
lie had dealt In mavericks before ho
took to the hiiv.
"You're mighty awkard placed 1 ,
Bosor " ho said "damned awkard '
, , ! Lot's
see how can I accommodate you ? " Ho
scratched his head and thought awhile.
"Hero's what you kin do , " ho wont on.
"Go an' ' tend toyo' roundups an1 lot mo
know us soon as yo' git 'cm laid by , then
I'll inforco yo' flno , ' '
"Thank yo' judge. Thank yo' . That'
far uri * squar an' neighborly ! " answered
the condemned. "I reckon I kin wind
things up in about three months , an' I'll
cuinu 'roun' an1 lot yo' know. "
"Cote's adjourned ! " called the judge ,
and ho and liosor wont around the cor
ner und took u drintc together.

STOLE HIS BRIDE.
Henry Starr Marries the Ilooty of a Train
ICulibery.
Thcro is on interesting romunco con
nected with the marriage of Bandit
Henry Starr , now in jail in Denver.
Ono night in August , 1892 , a train
was held up at Pryor Creek , Ark. Starr
remained on the platform of the first
coach whllo his men were becuring the
cash.
cash.While
While ho was standing there a young
girl , wild with terror , rushed out and
before Starr could stop her jumped off
the car and ran away into the darkness
The bandit did not give the matter a
moment's thought * The train was de
layed about half an hour and then Starr
and his men rode furiously away through
the woods.
About a quarter of a mile away one of
the robbers , who was riding In advance ,
came upon what teemed to bo a dead
girl. Ho put spurs to his horse and
made him jump over the bady. Several
others followed , but when Starr came to
the spot he dismounted nnd picked the
girl up in his arms to see whether she
was really dead or not.
Slowly ehe opened her eyes and gazed
in a dazed way at the faces of the rough
men around her. Instantly Starr recog
nized in her the girl whom ho had seen
run away from the train. Ho at once
ordered one of the men to carry the girl *
along on his saddle. She was too
frightened to make any remonstrance.
The outlaws halted the next day about
10 o'clock in a secluded canon , where
they pitched camp. Hero Starr put his
fair captlvo under the care of an Indian
woman and gave orders to the men to
laavo her alone.
The girl was pretty , apparently about
16 years old. Every time Starr appeared
she plcadednvith him to take her back
to her people , She said that her name
was Mary Jones and that her father
lived in Joplln , Mo. Her plea was un
availing.
On the third diy reports came to the
camp that the marshals were on the
track of the robbers and they were com
pelled to leave. Starr had by this time
taken a fancy to Mary and had her ride
by Ills side. The country through which
the bandits traveled was a rough one.
Starr noticed , however , that Mary com
plained less and. Io8sand had oven grown
to like him ; but ho know also that she
could not stand the rough treatment she
was receiving , and when ho noticed that
the marshals wore closing in on his band
ho resolved to send her back to her
homo ,
Before parting1 ho told her that ho
would soon go to Joplin and marry her.
She said that uhu would wait for him.
In throe weekgrStarr wont to Joplin to
claim his bride. Ho had but little dilll-
culty In finding her , and after
gaining the conaont of her parents ho
was married tO'lier ' under the name 3a 3f
Frank Jackson. No one In Joplin know
him , and ho passed himself off as a Now
Mexican Cruncher. From Joplin the
young couulo went to Las Vegas , N. M. ,
nnd from there to Colorado Springs ,
whore ho was captured.
A Cnrd from Mornn'o.
It may interest our patrons to know
that wo are going to make another alter

the public by making shopping a pleas
ure and a profit to the people of Omaha

on for yourself as the work progresses.
The changes will not interfere with our

printed souvenir , descriptive of the
Droxcl Institute of Philadelphia , founded
by Anthony Jo&opliDrcxcl. Besides the
descriptive mutter there are handsome
lithographs of the exterior and interior
of the institute , which give a clear idea
of the magnificent equipment of this
monument to Mr. Droxol's generosity.
The annual catalogue of the Univor

the growth of that educational
institution , the course of study

a flourishing condition , and its venerable
founder , Very Rev. Edward Sorin , C. S.
C. , still exorcises a controlling influence
in tlio management of its au"a.rs.

mencement exorcises for 1801 records on
that occasion there were orations in La
tin , Greek and Hebrew , English poems ,
forensic disputations , colloquial discus
sions , and dialogues on the questions of
the day , besides a number of English
orations. An account of the exorcises
says that "tho house was crowded
in every quarter , and the cir
cles of ladies were brilliant
and animating. The performances
wore received as the evidence of
solid learning and useful application ,
and the applause they met was judicious
and blncore. "

BOUND ABOUT THE FAIB.
The average man never goes into
moro than two or three states of the
union. By going to the fair he sees all
the states on dress parade , and it is
enough to open his oycs. His old hldo-
jound notions are wiped out In loss-than
no tlmo and before ho realizes it.
Chicago is beginning to rcali/.o In a
practical and substantial way upon its
investment in the Columbian exposition.
In the period embraced in the last 120
days of the fair it is estimated that a
sum ranging from 9120,000,000 to $150-
000,000 , will bo brought to Chicago and
loft there.
The man who can walk through the
entire length of Midway plaisutieo and
back again and all the way utterly ig
nore the seductive invitations of the
many criers describing the things to bo
soon and had inside the villages , streets
nnd camps may bo considered proof
against the wiles of bunco men and
sharpors of all borts. Ho is certainly
endowed with a' most impressionable
nature.
Nebraska has 100,000 , boxes of licet
sugar to give away. Each box contains
just about enough of the article to
sweeten a good cup of colTeo , but some
big figures are printed thereon. For
instance , the surprising announcement
IH made that the probable crop of the
product in that state the present year in
0,000,000 pounds , us agaiiibt 500,000
pounds last year.
Cliicago is bragging about having a
largo party of her first families on the
exposition grounds. They are sixty-one
Potttiwattiunio ami Winnebugo Indians ,
including lineal descendants of old Black
Hawk and Sag wash. As part of the .an
thropological exhibit they will bo shown
engaged in their various Industries. In
one tent the arrow makers will whittle
out their weapons : in another the squaws
are to make moccasins , Ic'ggins and
bead work. The native band has fee-
cured an old drum to help their willow
whistlers. The trhost dance and the
war dances nro to bo given. In the col
lection which accompanies the Indians
are tomahawks and war clubs , pipes ,
wampum and 1,000 varieties of beads.
From an , upper window of Louis
iana's building a live Evangelino ,
as she cards the cotton and spins
the string , looks down upon
Hiawatha in plaster before the Minnesota
seta building. The dark eyed gii4 in
the homespun frock and with the high
cotton cap is nn Acadian. She and two
others from Iberia , surrounded by the
furniture and the utensils of the simple
Acadian llfo , make cottonado on an At-
tukapas loom 100 years old. And some
of their work is displayed in the form of
"Evangolino portieres. " This Acadian
homo with its real Actuliuns , is the chief
attraction in the Louisiana building.
The visitor who carries a notebook is
a woman. It is very rarely that a man
is seen burdening himself with n memo
randa of his observations. If ho wants
to take away some material impressions
of the fair he docs HU with the hoi ] ) of a
kodak. Thousands of women begin
their World's fair vlblt with a book and
pencil In hand. They are very Indus
trious the first day. They stop in the
middle of the aisles and before the most
Interesting things. They are wholly
oblivious to ( surroundings. They press
the pencil meditatively against the lips.
Then they scribble with great care , road
what they have written and move along
to the next thing with a look of satisfac
tion. Of'1.000 notebooks which htart on
a given day , 100 will disappear on the
second day and by the end of the week
100 possibly will bo in use. The World's
fair is strewn with wrecks of good reso
lutions made by women visitors to record
what most impress them.
The Fisheries building on the World's
fair grounds Is always crowded with
visitors. It Is a plaacantly cool bullnlng
to visit on a warm day because of the
amount of running water within and the
general style of architecture , though ' '
Is much smaller1 than most of the soixtlfHy" *
buildings. There are complete exhibits
of llslilng products and fishing boats and
Implements from Norway , Sweden , Rus

corals , cured fish and models of fish
hatcheries and fish ways ; mounted

PENNY-IN-THS-SLOT QAS METER
Novel und I'oiiuliir AlipHr.itlon of tit *
1'rllirlpln.
The ponnyln-the-slot principle hni
been applied very Mieeessfully to gas
meters in several largo English cities.
The Liverpool Gas company llrwt began
the experiment * of putting these ma
chines Into artisans' house * several years
ago. In 1S90 100 motors wore at work In
Liverpool , and from that time until now
the dlllloulty has been to construct tlio
machines quickly enough to supply tlio
enormous demand. In 1801 the company
fixed 1.1)75 ) meters , In 18)2 ! ) , 4,0118 , , and
now in Liverpool alone there are be
tween 8,000 and 0,000 automatic motors
In UHO. Some Idea of the popularity
which they have attained may be gath
ered from the- fact that the Liverpool
Gas company receives on nn average 100
applications a week for prepayment
meters from persons who live In houses
and cottages of small weekly rents. The
fame of the now invention quickly spread
to other largo centers , and at the pres
ent time rapidly increasing demand for
them has arisen In London , Leeds , Bristol
tel , Manchester , Birmingham , Black
burn. Helton and other townn. In its
latest form the muter bus three dials
marked , " .C , s. , and d. , " nnd no sooner
hits a penny been dropped Into the slot
than the hand of the "D" dial records It.
When twelve pennies have been dropped
lu. the "D" dialslnndsat "O , " whllo the
hand of the "S" dial records that 1
shilling's worth of pennies are in the
drawer , and HO nn , until 20 worth of ,
gas has been paid for. The hands can.
only move ono way , bo that the householder - v
holder practically gets an indisputable
receipt for the pennies ho puts into the
slot and the total amount ho has paid for
his gns. An indicator shows how many
feet of gas are "paid for but uncon-
sumcd. "
