A rare opportunity will be afforded our citizens in general of seeing one of Nature’s Greatest freaks—alive and living—that may never be again afforded in a life time. This strange freak of nature, that was somewhat briefly referred to about twelve or eighteen months ago in the St. Louis papers, has been procured from the family that gave it birth, (Mysheralls, now living in Armstrong county, this state), by ,Dr. E, L. Buckey, an en-terprising agent in the employ of the North Western Museum syndicate, whose headquarters are at Chicago The strange creature is alive, white, weighs 153 pounds and about 27 years of age, and has flesh and power of speech, hut is worthily termed a bear—owing to the pecular formation of his limbs—claws, six in number, on each of his fore limbs, webbed out be-yond the second joints, while the nails split in the middle and hook at the ends. His head greatly resembles a bear, while a complete absence of patellas or knee-caps compels him to go upon all-fours. The feet are also formed exactly as those of a bear, be-ing entirely devoid of heels. He is one of twelve brothers and sisters, all of whom, excepting him, are properly and normally formed. From personal solicitation and for the indulgence of science the doctor has consented to publicly exhibit his find this afternoon and evening at Fifth and Austin streets, (Taylor block), doors open from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p. m., only. The Doctor hereby extends to all practicing physicians as well as city and county officials and press repre-sentatives a cordial invitation to call without any charge whatever, in order to prove to the sceptical practitioner that there not only can occur the Lusus Natures of the external birth-mark, but offers to prove in this strange find a Lusus Natures of bone formation as well. A small admission fee of 10 cents will be charged the outside public merely to cover current expenses occasioned by stopping over. JTlie World’* Fair. Chicago, Feb. 7.—Work on the main grounds of the World’s Fair at Jackson park is to be commenced at once. The executive committee to-day accepted the reduction by Me- Arthur Bros., on their bid for doing the dredging and filling, and the con-tract was awarded them, subject to confirmation by the directors next Friday. The reduction was from $444,897 to $379,OoO. The acceptance of the proposition was unanimous and it will undoubtedly be confirmed by the directory. Arthur Bros, have al-ready made arrangements to bring the neessary machinery here, and as soon as that is done work will be com-menced. The task ot staking out the ground and proposed plan of work will probably be begun to-morrow or Monday. Snowed Worms. Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. ^—A puzzling phenomena has been noticed frequently in some parts of the Val-ley Bend district, Randolph county, this winter. The crust of the snow has been covered two or three times with worms, resembling the ordinary out worms. Where they come from unless they fall with the snow, is in-explicable. The snow is now two feet deep, and the crust is too strong for them to have come up from the ground. A square root of snow can scarcely be found some days without a dozen of these worms on it. THE STATE CAPITAL. “A PUBLIC MEASURE TO PORMOTE PRIVATE INTERESTS. Senator Kimbrough’* Bill-Loaning the Children’s Money—Potter’s Bill—-The Senators Stephens Prolixity off Enactments. Special to the News. Austin, Feb. 7.—The “blanket sheet” dailies have had their repre-sentatives hard at work since yester-day,- button holing members and lay-ing before them the claims of their respective publications for state patro-nage, The resolutions passed yester-day, allowing each member of the house 20 copies of a daily paper, to he paid for at state expense, to be sent out to his constituents, many result in mak- | ing the individual member a little folid with those to whom the papers are addressed, but little warrant is sound for the practice, little in law or common sense. Some of the members do not believe in the scheme, voted against it, and now refuse to send out the papers. The resolutions should be called “a public measure to promote private business.” Senator Kimbrough’s bill, to amend the general in corporation law, is de-signed to change a feature of that statute that has caused a good deal of com-plaint. The law as it now stands pre-eludes the formation of corporations for many purposes, and yet leaves the Way open for corporations chartered under the laws of other states to come into Texas and engage in that very line of business. As an instance of this, mercantile companies can not be incorporated in Texas, excepted under restrictions that render such incorpora-tion undesirable The W. H. Taylor dry goods company of Fort Worth, sent up to West Virgina, procured a charter, and opened up business under it in the city where the panther made his lair. a Senator Stephens Tias introduced a bill to provide for loaning the school fund to private parties on real estate security. This is in opposition to Hogg’s idea of loaning the money on railroad securities, and will furnish a fine subject for a lively fight. The grangers have not taken kindly to Hogg’s idea; they may like this better. Potter’s hill to make notes, bonds and other securities held outside the state, hut secured on property inside the state, subjeot to taxation in the county in which such property is located, also provides a rattling scrap. It is a very “sanctim” measure. The mechanics of Dallas employed two lawyers to prepare a mechanics lien bill, to bring it down here and try to get it passed. It was introduced yesterday by Chochran, and a close examination revealed the fact that it differs very little from the committee bill prepared by Swan. As the Swan bill has the start it is probable it will go through. The Olay county states-man feels very good to think he has come so near suiting all parties. Senator Stephens has introduced about twice as many bills as any other member of the upper house. He has also gotten many more of his meas-ures passed. The applause which greeted Ter-rell yesterday when, in the course of a speech, he declared himself as op-posed to a convention to form a oon-stitution, showed how keenly many members the heuse feel on the mat-ter. The Travis county statesman immediately drew up and offered a resolution declaring the holding of a constitutional convention unnecessary and inexpedient. Are the represents-tives of the people afraid to trust the people? Gresham’s state depasitory bill is gaining friends. It is now assured that there will he no convention to form anew constitution. Terrell’s resolution declaring it to be inexpedient was passed yesterday after much argument; twelve houses have glided silently by and no motion to reconsider has been made, and it can now be authorizatatively stated, as above, that the convention idea has been knocked out. The correspondents now in Austin have learned to mention nothing as being settled until so long a time has passed that it can not be reconsidered. In the debate which occurred yester-day over the Terrell’s resolution there was an interesting passage at arms between Gresham and Terrell. Gres ham said the chief reason the friends of the resolutions had for opposing a constitution was, judging by what they said, because they feared to trust the people. He quoted Terrell as saying in the committee room that the 60,000 railroad employes in this state were no more than peons. This brought Terrell to his feet with an explanation that reaffirmed the remark quoted by Gresham. He expressed great sympathy for the poor fellows, but held that they were peons nevertheless. When Gresham had finished his speech the Travis county statesman arose and made a talk that was greeted with applause. He had beeD *on the defensive by Gresham, and itjjtook him fifteen minutes to ex-plain what he said and why, hut when he got through that he sailed along at a very good gait. He tried to even things up by intimating that Gresham represented the “money power.” Brown, O’Brien, Batts and others made speeches of more or less merit, but the two gentlemen memtioned were the ones who dropped the ginger into the discussion. There seems no reason to think that the separate coach bill passed by the senate yesterday will be agreed to by the house, and hereaf-ter colored traveler will enjoy his railway ride incontaminated and undisturbed by the presence of “po’ white trash.” Whether Page’s uniform text hook bill will go through is a question of some doubt. When the senate ad-journed on yesterday—to next Mon-day— the bill was in its second read-ing, and Crane had just finished an able speech in opposition to it. Crane says if the bill passes, when a child wants a book he will telljhis father, who will tell the trustee, who will tell the district manager, who will apply ta state headquarters, where the matter will be considered. If the consider-ation is favorable the book will be sent to the district manager who will turn it over to the trustee, who will deliver it to the boy in time for use by his oldest son. Railroad News. Chicago, 111., Feb. 7.—At no time since the presidents of the western railroads formulated their agreement has there appeared so little prospeots of a successful launching of the western traffic association as to-day. The scheme of dividing traffie has been tried hv the southwestern Missouri river lines. The agreement to that end which they entered into last sum-mer has proved a failure. The arbi-trators having charge of this tonnage pool have several times ordered the Atchison to divert freight with other lines, but most orders have been dis-obeyed. Chairman Walker says the arbitrators can do nothing in the face of such a state of affairs and he ac-knowledges that the agreement is broken. In passenger affairs it is also claim-ed that the Atchison has wilfully vio-lated the pledge. The Jacksonville Southwestern, with which it is allied in forming a through line between Chicago and St. Louis, has so disturb-ed rates between those points that Chairman Finley of the Western Pas-senger association has issued an order to the effect that the Atchison must no longer honor tickets of the Jack-sonville Southwestern from St. Louis to Chicago. This the chairman has a right to do under the agreement but nobody believes the Achinsofi will obey the order, and the result will probably be its withdrawal from the western passenger association in which case it cannot be a member of the president’s association. It is free-ly predicted to-day that unless the Atchison makes haste to change its policy the western traffic association will never be put into Operation. B. C. Williams.

Weatherford, Tex., Feb. 7.—A great many of the citizeps of iSpringtown, are in this city today and every one of them confirms the report which reach-ed here yesterday that the spotted fever was raging as a terrible epide-mic in that town. Since Wednesday, when it struck the place, six deaths have occurred that have been heard of and new cases are developing hour-ly. Those who have been there say the disease is in its most malignant form and speedily has a fatal effect. The gentleman with whom the cor-respondent was speaking said that one man was struck with it and died in nine minutes in yesterday their schools all closed and the people are all fleeing from the pestilence as from the yellow fever. To-day the town is almost depopulated and will remain so until the ravages of the disease are checked. _____ The Red Pest in Kansas. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 7.—The preva-lence of smallpox in Chautauqua coun-ty has been investigated by Dr. Hill, of the state board of heath, who re-ports seven persons stricken with the disease and a large number of women and children exposed, very few vacci-nated people, no quanantine and no restrictions nor precautionary meas-ures in force. Dr. Hill at once adopt-ed and put in force all the usual meas-urses to prevent the spread of the dis-ease. The first one afflicted was Mrs. Dr. Crandall, who has been traveling in California. The others now sick, and under strict quarantine, are : Anna Crandall, C. G. Crandall, and Eva Crandall, aged 11, 16 and 14 years; John^Mvers, Johana Myers and Dora Adams. None had ever been vaccinated except Mrs. Crandall. A? member of the state board was sent to-day to Lyon county to investigate a similar case reported there. The dis-ease is also said to have broken out in Summer county, but is held in check by local quarantine regulations. A Hydropliobiu. Scare# Columbus, Iod. Feb. 7.—Great ex-citement prevails in Brandywine town-ship, Shelby county, on account of the prevalence of hydrophobia. Many cattle and hogs have been recently bitten by dogs Caffected by the malady, and yesterday James Reinhart had to kill several large hogs and fat cattle, which were allegad to have ra-hies. The farmers are up in arms and declare that the Assessor will not find a dog when he makes his rounds. Thirty of them met at Center School House to-day and resolved to kill their own dogs and then extend their work of destruction until every dog in that section is dead. Indiana. Natural Gas L-eag^e. Muncie, Ind., Feb. 7.—Pursuant to adjournment of a meeting held at An-derson January 23, representatives from Marion, Elwood, Kokoma, An-derson, Hartford City, Jonesboro, Portland, Fairmount, Redkey, Dun-kirk, Noblesville and Alexandria, im-portant cities and towns in the Indi-ana gas belt, met in this city to-day for the purpose of framing the Indiana Natural Gas Belt League. The fol-lowing permanent officers were elec-ted: President, J. S. Ludlum, of Marion; secretary, W. A. Doherty, of Elwood. The next meeting is at An-derson, February 18, when disoussion will be had and steps taken to prevent the useless waste and protect the mutual interests of the belt. The climate here did not agree with me and I was sick with malaria most all the time. The lest exposure gave me a severe cold and my health was miserable. I grew weaker until I began a use of Dr. Bull's Sarsaparilla, when I gained health and strength. I recommend it as the very best strengthening medicine.—Sarah Wal-ton, Wabash, Ind.
