THK LIVESTOCK SHOW AND FALL JU'RTIJfG, WACO DRIVING PAKK. Tho Live Stork Exhibit I his MorningTlie Races This Afternoon—Mayor Wilkes Suggests a General Closing Thursday— General Notes. There was but one thing lacking to make a success of the opening day at the driving park today, and that was a big crowd of people. The weather was all that could be a>ked; there were more and finer horses than at any previous meeting; and there was a creditable display of live stock. The restaurants, saloons, etc., on the grounds were in full blast, but the crowd was slow in gathering. At ten o’clock, when The Day reporter reached the grounds not more than one hundred people were on haud, Capt. R. S. Ross is chief marshal for the occasion, md under his chaperonage a tour of the stables was made. THE HORSES. At remarked above, the line of horses surpasses all previous meetings. One hundred and eleven animals were counted this morning, that are here to take part in the races. These are exclusive of horses entered f jr the stock show only. AH of these racing animals are fine stock and many of them have giltedged records—they have won purses all over the country and seem to be in fine trim for their work here. Some were resting in their stalls, while others, blanketed with care, were led about by groom > for exercise, or speeded around the track. The course, it may be stated, is in excellent condition. THE STOCK SHOW. Up to noon the entries in this department were for horses, mules, jacks, jennets and cattle. The sheep, swine and poultry were lacking. It is known, however, that many exhibitions in these lines will have their displays on hand tomorrow. At noon the live stock on hand were biought up to the judges’ stand and ranged ru full view of the grand stand. Judge O. II. LelanJP enters twoHereford bulls and a Hereford heifer; also a Holstein bull—all last spring’s calves and beautiful animals. Hancock & Harper, of McLennan county, enter six head of very fine Durham cattle— one bull, three heifers and two calves. John Monroe enters a Jersey cow, only two. years old, that is a perfect beauty. Mr. A. M. Hamillalso shows some choice specimens of Durham and Texas longhorns. Hancock & Harper show a superb jack, four years old; a mule colt, only cne year old, 15 14 hands high, and a draught horse only three years old,all of which will certainly take premiums. Mr. J. H. Baker, of Crawford, promises to have some ol bis fine jacks on exhibition tomorrow and no doubt the display in the cattie, sheep, swine and poultry departments will be largely increased by that time. Awards for the stock exhibits today will be announced tomorrow. THIS AFTERNOON. From one to two o’clock this afternoon the crowd began to grow'. The band was present, making the air melodious with one kind of music, while the poolsellers, made the vvelking ring as they sold pools on the races. It is anticipated that nearly all the school children in the city will accept Mr. Johnson’s invitation and attend in a body tomorrow. Those who do not want to take in the races can see the fine live stock and go home before the races open. With reference to the general closing of business houses Thursday, Sanger Brothers said this morning: “We have seen the suggestion in The Day that business houses close Thursday. We think the suggestion appropriate and if other leading houses will join in the movement we will cheerfully close too, in order that our employes may have an opportunity to attend.’’ The Day is also in receipt of the following from his honor, MAYOR WILKES, on the subject of closing Thursday. He says: Waco, November 10, 1885. To the Editor of The Day. Please let the people of Waco know through your columns that Sanford Johnson has very generously offered to admit all scholars of the Public Schools into his stock and cattle Fair on tomoirow (Wednesday) free of charge. Mr. Johnson has shown so much enterprise and public spirit,that I would respectfully suggest to enr merchants and business men that they close their business houses on Tuesday, at least during the hours of the stock and cattle show', and give their employes an opportunity of attending. This would be generous to the employes, cncouraging to Mr. Johnson and an act of courtesy to our numerous visito s. Respectfully, W. H. Wilkes. THE RACING EVENTS for this afternoon are four in number and as follows: Trotting, three minute class, purse of §150. Pacing, free for all, purse ot $250. Running, mile heat, purse of $200. Home race, gentlemen’s driving horses, two best in three, driven by owner, purse of $50. As the racing did not commence until 2:30 o’clock the result cannot be published by The Day until tomorrow atternooo. It will be dark when the last event is coneluded. THE BANDIT KINO. How it Captiv;tcd the Dallasites the Other Night. Dallas Times. Never was there in the operahouse so large an audience as assembled there last evening to witness the Bandit King. Long before the curtain rose every seat in the house was sold, and when the opening begun there was scatcely standing room, and the further sale of tickets was stopped, despite the persistent demand of clamoring applicants. Thus, what has elsewhere happsned occurred last night. The piece is of the intensely sensational, as might be surmised from the title. It also runs over with the humorous, and is considerably seasoned with the emotional and the pathetic. Mr. Wallick, in his several characters of the Accused Murderer, the Texas Cattle King, the detective, the accuser, etc., was quite up to the conception and rendition of his heavy roles. Mr. Hendricks, as Kansas Jake, a “Bad Man from Kansas,” etc., was thoroughly typical of the bully and bragadocio that characteiizes the social order of the rough and tumble style of wild western life, and he brought round after round of applause. Fred Lyons, as Old Bob, with his banjo sonfes, dances and funny sayings is one of the^eatures of the piece, and kept the galleries in a roar, and the dress circle as well. His negro impersonations were very naturally natural and genuine. As Adolphus Breezy Gush, the Indiana editor seeking political fame, Mr. Reibert was true to the assignment. And this may be remarked of all the other actors in the play, for each worked smoothly throughout. The scenes and stage fixtures operated better than usual, while the special flies added much *.u the .success. The knife fight on horseback yyas, perhaps, the best, as it was the roost difficult and hazardous of the whole work. The hbrses, donkey and colts are thoroughly traflned, as the galloping over stage, plungingithrough windows, etc., fully attested. The piece is only what it professes to be, a thrilling, sensational creation, full of.; startling incidents, extraordinary situations and surprises, bordering on the marvelous, and yet a true picture of western life. If you have the blues go see the Bandit King tonight, where you will join in the wildest enthusiasm and greatest laughter. —The building boom continues. Recorder Brinkerhoff and Loving & Swanson will erect a brick block on South Eighth street, on the site of the burned buildings; Lessing, Solomon & Rosenthal will build a three story (and basement, making it practically four story) brick business house on the Baptist church lot; Dr. VV. H. Wilkes is building a residence on^Barnard avenue and Eleventh street; and Judge Gerald will rebuild his residence on South Fifth street. —The information of the jailing of Perry Nichols, upon which The Day acted in its publication yesterday, is found to beincorrect. Mr. Bart Moore, who advanced the money, informs us that Perry returned the money, and that the bills were the identical ones paid out on the check. Perry is a free man still, and at work on his farm. —Mr. James B. Baker is building two brick stores for Judge Brinkerhoff and one for Loving & Swanson in the burned district on Eighth street, near the Narrow Gauge depot. The buildings, when completed, will be handsome structures and will cost about six thousand dollars. —The dengue having worked up the most of the available material in Waco, is now enjoying a respite from labor, and will possibly hunt a more congenial clime, when the frigid northers begin to exercise their chilling functions. —When the reporter makes inquiry for any one the answer generally is, “Gone to the races.” The Bandit King has 4 great comedians and the strongest company traveling. Cotton in Waco ToDay. The square was lively today and the cottou buyers were bus^trading for the staple. Tne estimates of tile day’s receipts is 250 bales and prices ranged from 8 to 8:33 and 8:60. The rise of twenty points yesterday nude an active market and the competition was lively. TELEGRAPH NEWS. Preparing to Adjust the strike—A Feartul Alabama Cyclone. Galveston, November 9.—The result of yesterday’s agreement between the citizens’ committee and the state executive committee of the Knights of Labor were manifest on all sides today, every Knight being at his post. The wharves, railway yards and cotton presses presented scenes of the greatest activity. The arbitration committee of ten was announced this morning and the first meetingjwas held at 10 o’clock. The membership of the arbitration committee is as follows: For the Knights of Labor, P. H. Golden, Galveston; John Nugent, Coolville; D. Black, colored, Fort Worth; C. Clifford, Denison; G. W. Smith, San Antonio; For commerce—W. L. Moody, chairman, P. J. Willis, J. D. Skinner, G. B. Miller, Julius Runge. It transpired this evening that the district assembly, Knights of Labor, of this city, tcday made a very strange request of Mayor Fulton. The district executive officers, Patrick Emmet and Samuel Eldridge, addressed a formal communication to his honor asking him to dismiss Patrolmen Davies, Sparks, Debruhl and Warren from the police force, on the grounds that they have been indulging in violent conversation on the street, which, they charge, is ealeulated to arouse an incendiary feeling and precipitate trouble. Sparks, Debruhl and Warren are colored men, and none of the four policemen are members of the Knights of Labor organization. Mayor Fulton replied to this demand, stating that it was impossible for him to comply with such a request. The mayor also stated that he had inquired into the charges laid against the officers, and could not find that they had been guilty of anything meriting dismissal or censure. This movement on the part of the local Knights is strongly censured wherever it is known. Another feature of the situation was developed tonight, it being learned that the United States authorities yesterday made a tender of aid and protection to the citizens’ committee. United States Attorney Stratton offered to supply the requisite number of deputy marshals to protect the trainmen in taking out freights. This offer was declined, however, in view of the proximity of the settlement by arbitration. Selma, Ala., November 9.—Friday night one of the most terrific and destructive storms ever known to this state, passed over the section of the country just north of here, washing out bridges, railroad beds and growing crops, and levelling forests and houses for miles. A cyclone, accompanied by torrents of rain and appalling eleclric discharges, started on Cahaba river and passed through Dallas, Perry and Bibb counties, leaving a dead waste of forests, plantations, houses and villages. Exploring and relief parties say the track of the storm was half a mile wide. They have gone over forty miles, picking up the dead and wounded, and don’t how much longer the track is. Thirteen persons have been found killed outright and forty or fifty dangerously wounded, and a number of persons cannot be accounted for. Bales of cotton, blown from gin houses, were burst and scattered evevwhere. A man driving to tl.e city with cotton, has been lost. The cotton and wagon were blown a quarter of a mile, and the man and mules were carried off and cannot be found. Growing Crops were torn up from the ground, and trees and cotton stalks were even stripped of their bark. Relief parties are searching for the dead and dying, and everything possible is being done to relive the destititue. The negroes are frightened nearly to death, and huddle about together or squat alone, unclad, in brushes and under fallen trees, stupefied and speechless with fear and superstition, and unable to tell the whereabouts of their household goods. The city is being canvassed for money to bury the dead and relieve the wants of the destitute. The Public School Teacher*. The McLennan county teachers association will hold their regular meeting on Saturday, the 28th instant. The programme is interesting and will doubtless be instructive and is follows: Opening exercise, Rev. Mcjunkin; opening address, Prof. J. N. Gallagher: primary reading, Miss Nellie Eastland; work for the coming year, Mrs. Willie D. House; primary arithmetic, Prof. J. M. Ferguson; the place of language lessons in the common schools, Miss Ella B. Meekins; orthoepy and how to teach it, Prof. J. T. Strother; teaching primary history, Miss Mattie Surratt. Prof. S. B. Hamer, president, and Prof. J. B. Cresap, secretary, will be present and will have something to say to the association. On Saturday Prof. J. B. Cresap, at the Central school building, examined applicants for teachership in the public schools of Me Lennan county and issued certificates to Messrs. Strickland, Nance, Steinmetz, R. P. Anderson ani J. C. Foulks, ’ Mesdame Blocker, .Dunklin, M. Leach and Miss M. Warren. These ladies and gentlemen were graded according to their several accomplishments and capabilities, and will commence work this week. AMUSEMENTS. Baron Seeman’* Magic Wand—Farewell to ‘•TallyHo.” A broad aisle of light, thrown from a calcium burner on the Garland balcony, showed the way to the realm of the “dark art” and fantastic illusions last night. Time seems to have but increased the potency of Prof. Seeman’s wand. His repertoire of necromantic feats has not only been enlarged, but numerous new features have been added to the entertainment, making it replete with absorbing interest. Electra still remains the insoluble mystery that it was at first, and the “Tour’round the world” is, as ever, instructive, amusing and pleasing. The programme varies from day to day during the Baron’s stay, so that the performance is ever new. No outlay of so small a sum as the admittance charged, will yield so large a return of amusement. The audience last night was goodly sized and more than pleased. Fortune favored many at the distribution of prizes, as the numerous handsome gifts evidenced. The programme tonight will be specially attractive and merits a liberal at* tendance. ACROSS THE WAY. At the McClelland the superb production “TallyHo,” and the laughable farce “A Regular Fix,” failed to draw as they deserved. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the company, however, for the careful and conscientious manner in which they did their work despite the light house. As before, Downing was grand and Miss Nellie Cox divinely charming. A heartier welcome next time, is our wish, should the company revisit us, for it is composed of genuine talent that deserves a warm receptien. A Waco Man Sends a Box ol Cigars to the Presldent. Mr. Geo. \V. Cleveland, of this city, who is traveling salesman for a cigar house, sent a box of fine cigars, the “Cleveland Cigar,” to President Cleveland a few week ago. The box was appropriately adorned with pictures, etc. In due time he got the following reply: Executive Mansion, October 24,1885. George Washington Cleveland, Esq.: My Dear Sir—I have received a box of cigars for which, I suppose from a card I find with them, I am indebted to you. Please accept my thanks for the same, with the assurance that the kind feeling of which I suppose them to be an evidence is fully appreciated. Yours sincerely, Grover Cleveland. For once, it seems, Grover departed from his usual custom of declining presents. Tom Padgitt made a fine saddle, worth $75, last spring, to send to the president, but was deterred from doing so, lest he might be snubbed. Lost Fony. Mr. Geo. M. Morse’s bay pony has either strayed or been stolen. The pony is 14 hands high, has black mane and tail, is unbranded, and has fetlocks cut close. A liberal reward will be paid to anyone delivering the horse to Mr. Morse at Cameron, Castles & Storey's. Don't fail to bring the children fo see the greatest and only genuine colored comedian and banjo soloist, with his comical Irish donkey, “Calamity Jane”—Bandit King tonight. Notice.

One hundred and eleven animals were counted this morning, that are here to take part in the races. These are exclusive of horses entered f jr the stock show only. AH of these racing animals are fine stock and many of them have giltedged records—they have won purses all over the country and seem to be in fine trim for their work here. Some were resting in their stalls, while others, blanketed with care, were led about by groom > for exercise, or speeded around the track. The course, it may be stated, is in excellent condition. THE STOCK SHOW. Up to noon the entries in this department were for horses, mules, jacks, jennets and cattle. The sheep, swine and poultry were lacking.

Galveston, November 9.—The result of yesterday’s agreement between the citizens’ committee and the state executive committee of the Knights of Labor were manifest on all sides today, every Knight being at his post. The wharves, railway yards and cotton presses presented scenes of the greatest activity. The arbitration committee of ten was announced this morning and the first meetingjwas held at 10 o’clock. The membership of the arbitration committee is as follows: For the Knights of Labor, P. H. Golden, Galveston; John Nugent, Coolville; D. Black, colored, Fort Worth; C. Clifford, Denison; G. W. Smith, San Antonio; For commerce—W. L. Moody, chairman, P. J. Willis, J. D. Skinner, G. B. Miller, Julius Runge. It transpired this evening that the district assembly, Knights of Labor, of this city, tcday made a very strange request of Mayor Fulton. The district executive officers, Patrick Emmet and Samuel Eldridge, addressed a formal communication to his honor asking him to dismiss Patrolmen Davies, Sparks, Debruhl and Warren from the police force, on the grounds that they have been indulging in violent conversation on the street, which, they charge, is ealeulated to arouse an incendiary feeling and precipitate trouble.

This offer was declined, however, in view of the proximity of the settlement by arbitration. Selma, Ala., November 9.—Friday night one of the most terrific and destructive storms ever known to this state, passed over the section of the country just north of here, washing out bridges, railroad beds and growing crops, and levelling forests and houses for miles. A cyclone, accompanied by torrents of rain and appalling eleclric discharges, started on Cahaba river and passed through Dallas, Perry and Bibb counties, leaving a dead waste of forests, plantations, houses and villages. Exploring and relief parties say the track of the storm was half a mile wide. They have gone over forty miles, picking up the dead and wounded, and don’t how much longer the track is. Thirteen persons have been found killed outright and forty or fifty dangerously wounded, and a number of persons cannot be accounted for. Bales of cotton, blown from gin houses, were burst and scattered evevwhere. A man driving to tl.e city with cotton, has been lost. The cotton and wagon were blown a quarter of a mile, and the man and mules were carried off and cannot be found. Growing Crops were torn up from the ground, and trees and cotton stalks were even stripped of their bark. Relief parties are searching for the dead and dying, and everything possible is being done to relive the destititue. The negroes are frightened nearly to death, and huddle about together or squat alone, unclad, in brushes and under fallen trees, stupefied and speechless with fear and superstition, and unable to tell the whereabouts of their household goods. The city is being canvassed for money to bury the dead and relieve the wants of the destitute. The Public School Teacher*.

Anderson ani J. C. Foulks, ’ Mesdame Blocker, .Dunklin, M. Leach and Miss M. Warren.

Baron Seeman’* Magic Wand—Farewell to ‘•TallyHo.” A broad aisle of light, thrown from a calcium burner on the Garland balcony, showed the way to the realm of the “dark art” and fantastic illusions last night. Time seems to have but increased the potency of Prof. Seeman’s wand. His repertoire of necromantic feats has not only been enlarged, but numerous new features have been added to the entertainment, making it replete with absorbing interest. Electra still remains the insoluble mystery that it was at first, and the “Tour’round the world” is, as ever, instructive, amusing and pleasing. The programme varies from day to day during the Baron’s stay, so that the performance is ever new. No outlay of so small a sum as the admittance charged, will yield so large a return of amusement. The audience last night was goodly sized and more than pleased. Fortune favored many at the distribution of prizes, as the numerous handsome gifts evidenced. The programme tonight will be specially attractive and merits a liberal at* tendance. ACROSS THE WAY. At the McClelland the superb production “TallyHo,” and the laughable farce “A Regular Fix,” failed to draw as they deserved. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the company, however, for the careful and conscientious manner in which they did their work despite the light house. As before, Downing was grand and Miss Nellie Cox divinely charming. A heartier welcome next time, is our wish, should the company revisit us, for it is composed of genuine talent that deserves a warm receptien. A Waco Man Sends a Box ol Cigars to the Presldent. Mr. Geo. \V. Cleveland, of this city, who is traveling salesman for a cigar house, sent a box of fine cigars, the “Cleveland Cigar,” to President Cleveland a few week ago. The box was appropriately adorned with pictures, etc. In due time he got the following reply: Executive Mansion, October 24,1885. George Washington Cleveland, Esq.: My Dear Sir—I have received a box of cigars for which, I suppose from a card I find with them, I am indebted to you. Please accept my thanks for the same, with the assurance that the kind feeling of which I suppose them to be an evidence is fully appreciated. Yours sincerely, Grover Cleveland. For once, it seems, Grover departed from his usual custom of declining presents. Tom Padgitt made a fine saddle, worth $75, last spring, to send to the president, but was deterred from doing so, lest he might be snubbed. Lost Fony. Mr. Geo. M. Morse’s bay pony has either strayed or been stolen. The pony is 14 hands high, has black mane and tail, is unbranded, and has fetlocks cut close. A liberal reward will be paid to anyone delivering the horse to Mr. Morse at Cameron, Castles & Storey's.
