KING’S Royal Germeteur, THE GREAT FRENCH REMEDY. Experience of a Mexican Veieran. Lampasas, Tex,, June 28, 1888. To Whom it May Concern: I am a Mexican veteran; came to Texas in 1837; have been in many Indian fights in Texas, and I am 55 years old. In my early life in Texas I was exposed a great deal. About 30 years ago I was taken with rheuma-tism and I don’t think I have been free from pain at any time until I com-menced using the King Royal Germe-teur about sixteen days ago, at which time life was a misery to me. I could not sleep more than three hours in twenty-four for the constant torturing pain. Now after taking the remedy for nearly three weeks I am greatly improved and have gained several pounds. I sleep very well; almost entirely free from pain, and feel like a different person, and have hopes that after so many years’ suffering be cured of this terrible, painful disease. Respectfully, Leon Matthews. This medicine is performing won-ders all over the State. J. H. Hoi-comb & Co., South 5th and Speight streets, are handling it, and are sell-ing it, too.

Now, stop and notice the sneak-ing, cat like way in which that man walks, as if he feared to make a noise. Mark his fur-tive glances. He looks no one in the eye. He appears to fear that every passer by may be a detective. He evidently regards himself as close to the stern grip of the law, and he knows not what moment the blow may strike. That man is undoubtedly a counter-feiter, forger or burglar. Jinks—Oh, no; you’re way off. He is Dea-con Dart, the husband of Mrs. Dart, the woman who thrashed a street car conductor the other day because he carried her a square too far.—Philadelphia Record. The Horse and the Hill. A Horse which had to draw a Loat to Market almost daily complained bitterly of a steep Hill on his route, saying: “You are neither Useful nor Ornamental. You are simply an Obstruction to those who pass over this Highway. But for you my Labors would be much lighter.” The Driver overheard the complaint and at once replied: “Cease your Laments. But for this Hill on our route I should add 500 extra Pounds to your load. ” MORAL. If we didn’t have a com on the Toe We Might have a Boil on the Neck.—Detroit Free Press.

Sherman, January 20.—This morn-ing at 2:30 o’clock Policemen Woods and Mays entered a room in a hotel here occupied by John Holland and Mrs. L. A. Hollingsworth and placed the former under arrest. A few minutes later Mr. Bradshaw, the father of the woman,filed a complaint against Holland, charging him with forgery, and he was placed in jail. Mrs. Hollingsworth refused to either return to her husband and children or to go home to her parents. At an early hour this morning Mrs. Hoi-lingsworth made the following state-ment: My name is Mrs. L. A. Hollings-worth and my husband, James Hoi-lingsworth, is a farmer and lives near Howe, about nine miles from this city. I am 20 years of age and have two small children. There was at first no particular disagreement be-tween my husband and myself, but he gradually grew cross and jealous of me and was continually ac-cusing me of things of which I was perfectly innocent. It was a little over a month ago that John Holland, a young man who came to Sherman from North Carolina about fifteen months ago, set in to work for my husband. My husband’s ill temper and treatment had estranged all feelings of love I ever possessed for him. My life was a burden to me, and Holland was always kind and I grew to care a great deal more for him than I did for my husband. I think it was about new year when my hus-band began accusing me of thinking too much of Holland, but as heaven is my witness he had no cause for jeal-lousy on account of anything which may have taken place. Itwasavery common thing for my husband to leave home and stay away all day and night. Of course I could not leave home every time he did, but whenever he was away from home at night, I always went over to my fath-er’s. At the time above mentioned I became convinced that I could live much happier with Holland, and it is not at all his fault that we began to plan a way to run away or rather to leave my husband’s home. Yesterday about noon we concluded we would leave and went together to my hue-band and told him that we intended to leave, and he told us to go, and that he never wanted to see or hear anything about either of us again as long as he lived. We left together, and went over to the home of John Cruikshanks, where we remained un-til after night, when Mr. Cuikshank saddled up his horses and brought us to Sherman, and we took a room at the hotel, where the two policemen found us this morning. I have two children, whom I left with my hus-band. I don’t know where Holland intended to go this morning if we had not been stopped by the police, hut I intended to go just wherever he deem, ed it most advisable. Mrs. Hollingsworth was prevailed upon by her father and a brother who came up • at noon to-day to return home, or rather to her parents’ home. They left on the south-bound train at 3:30 this afternoon. The scene at the Union depot this morning, when both her father and brother were pleading with her to desist in the folly she was guilty of and return home, was quite affecting, and many an eye unaccus-tomed to such things grew dim with the moisture which swelled up in sympathy with the two strong men, who pleaded so earnestly with the erring one and pictured out the grief of the poor old mother, who was al-ready prostrated with the great sor-row which had fallen on a happy home. * Unable to stand all the entreaties the poor woman flung her arms about her father’s neck and wept aloud. That was too much for the crowd to stand and see unmoved, and as she sobbed out that she would go home to her mother, an old engineer, through the stains of smoke and dust of toil on whose face were coursing great tears, exclaimed, “Thank God!” and, stopping just long enough to grasp the father’s hand, hurried off to his home, where he would find a warm welcome and happy faces so unlike the scene awaiting the return of the gray-haired father at another home. On February 1st and 2d the H. & T. C. R’y Co. will sell excursion tickets (from Waco to Navasota at $5.80, good to return until the 4th, on account of School Teachers’ Convention. R. H. Hill, Agent, Cor. 4th and Franklin Streets. A Petrified Wife. Chicago, Jan. 21.—A special dis-patch from Winnipeg, Man., says: A remarkable case of what is alleged to be petrifaction has just come to light. Sixteen years ago a half-breed named Rolade buried his wife about twenty miles from this city. A few day ago he, with some friends, exhumed the remains, intending to car-ry them to another burying place. Upon opening the coffin the body was found perfectly preseived, the eyes and mouth being partly open and the hair quite black and natural. When an at-tempt was made to lift the remains it was found quite impossible as they were completely petrified. Examina-tion showed that a small spring of alkali water had been running through the coffin, and the action of the water on the rerhains had caused petrifaction. Assistance was procured and the re-mains were raised to the surface and transferred to the city, where they were weighed. The weight was found to be 700 pounds. A Woman Killed by Hoodlums. Pittsburg, Jan, 21,-Bridget Kelly, a young woman of loose morals, was found in a stable on the south side about daylight in an unconcious con-dition and died shortly after being removed to the station house. It is stated that she went into the stable while under the influence of liquor aud was brutally assaulted by eight men, five of whom are under arrest, and the police are after the others. The woman was 19 years of age and quite handsome. Correction of Electoral Vote. Austin, January 21.—The follow-ing was received late this afternoon: Washington, January 21. To Gov. L. S. Ross, Austin, Texas: Notify all electors to meet at Aus-tin Thursday next to sign the ceitift-cate uoon the envelope as required by section 1,391 Revised Statutes of the United States. Robertson leaves to-day with returns for correction .which will be thrown out if not here by Monday next, the 28th instant. [Signed] Richard Coke, John H. Reagan. A Biff Fire in St. Paul. Minneapolis, Minn., January 21— Shortly after 7:30 this morning fire was discovered in the Grand Opera house in St. Paul,at 9:30 it was a com-pleteruin. The building was erected by Commodore Davidson, and to-gether with the court block next it belongs to the Davidson estate. Th building was worth $200,000 and is fully insured. Nothing but the walls were left standing. The top of the court block is on fire and the flames are inaccessible. A Cartrlilcc Explode*. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 21.—Lit-tie Jesus Montez, aged ten years, while on his way to school this morn-ing at St. Joseph’s academy, stepped into a deserted Chinese laundry on Market street and found there a dyma-mite cartridge. He put the devilish concern in his pocket and carried it to school. At the 11 o’clock recess he showed the cartridge to a number of of his companions. In playing with it it exploded, carrying off three fingers of the Montez boy’s right hand, burn-ing his face terribly, singing off his hair, and injuring him in several other ways. Shot by an Unknown Assassin. Gainesville, Tex., Jan. 21.—News reached here to-day of*the killing of a man named Allen at a dance near Bur-neyville, 1. T., last week. A large crowd was present and a fire was built in the yard. Allen was standing around the fire with others, when he was shot down by an unknown party firing from the darkness. The murderer has not been apprehended, though strong sus-picions are entertained of his identity. The wise man, who wants his money’s worth in every thing he buys, goes to D. H.
