The Home Market
Pcojile say they can't un

don't blame them forgetting
things niixeil.iiaisideringthe
Republican arguments and
the actual facts. For in
stance, the Republicans as
sure the eople that the
''Home Market" is the best
thing for them. The Home
Market, tlie Home Market,
they all cryJJ Let's see. what
the Home Market is. (Jen.

who will ever be elected by j jealousies of the tw o races by
the Republican party, has j benignant and wise legisla

That is, if it cost. '$1.00 a j Tariff. If it had built no

KILLED BY A WOMAN.
The Lone Highwayman Of Texas Put
Out Of The Way
Chicago, Sept. 24. A dis
patch from San Antonio,
Texas, says: The notorious
"Lone Highwayman." who
has for the past two years
been a terror to travelers in
the vicinity of Kerrville, has.
without, the assistance of a
single confederate, robbed
stage coaches, rifled .mail
bags and gone through as
many as six commercial
travelers in broad daylight
without, the slightest incon
venience or resistance, has
been killed. He was shot by
Mrs. Lizzie Hay, formerly
Miss (Jibbons, at her homo
on the head prong of the Rio
Sabine, Haiido county, last
Monday. The scene of the
occuriTM-e is so remote from
railroad and telegraph ser
