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.

Heading Character.
Blinks—Yes, sir; it is always easy to read
character. 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.

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. ”

ELOPEMENT.
Mrs. Ellinscswortli Tired ot Her Hus-band’s
False Accusations Runs
off with tlie Hired Man.
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.

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.

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. Spencer to buy a piano
or organ. Spencer sell* good goods
at reasonable prices and on easy terms.
