Du. STIcvSns
It is a pleasure to give my testimony for

care. He said It was Water between the
Heart and Liver. I received 110 benelit
•until I commenced taking the Vegetine)

many remedies) they did not help me.
Vegetine is the medicine for Dropsy . I be-
gan to feel better after taking a few bot-
tles . I have taken thirty bottles in all. I
am perfectly well, never felt better. No
one can feel more thankful than I do.
1 am, dear sir, gratefully yours,
. A. D. "Wheeler.

Islesboro, Me., Dec. 28, 1877 .
Mr. Stevens :—
Dear Sir,—I had a cough for eighteen
vears, when I commenced taking the
Vegetine. I was very low; my system
was debilitated by disease. I had the Kid-
ney complaint, and was very nervous—
cough bad, lungs sore. When I had ta-
ken one bottle I found it was helping me;
it has helped my cough, and it strength-
ens me. I am now able to do my work .
Never have found any thing like the Vege-
etine. I know it is every thing itvis re-
commended to be
5 59 4W Mrs . J. A. Pendlton,

ening, purifies the blood, regulates the
bowels, quiets the nervous syvtem, acts
directly upon the secretions, and arouses
the whole system to action.

for headache, as derangement of the cir-
culating system, of the digestive organs,

the train robber# are quttitered on
Caddo creck, in Stephens County.
The sheriff, deputy and several other
citizens of Bieckenridge went in

sult. Sheriff Meadows sent to
Bieckenridge lor reinforcements,
and about twenty Men armed and

Great excitement prevails in Bieck-

M'COSKREY'S FEARS.
The Reverend Gentleman Renews
His Resignation and Flees.
Detroit, Mich., May 27.--Bish-
op McCoskrey who arrived here four
days ago and has since been stop-
ping at the Michigan Exchange Ho
tel, left for New York this morning.
This action surprises every one, in-
asmuch as it was supposed he had
returned to face his accusers. It is
reported he renewed his resignation
on the 18'h of this month in a letter
te Presiding Bishop Smith, and that
a special meeting of the House of
Bishops to consider his resignation
will be held in New York on the iSth
of August.
A Strange Man.
Fort Worth Post.
We learn from Mr. S. G. Alexan-
der, of Harrison county, that there
lives a man, a neighbor of his, who
has never been heard to speak by
any one except his mother and sister.
His sister has been dead ten and his
mother three years. He is a farmer
and owns a farm, is industrious and
reasonably comprehensive, lie can
not, or will not, read nor write, but
understands conversation, and laughs
in moderation-
If he wants anything for himself
or for farm use, when asked, he will
oiler his hand, or by placing a pat-
tern where it can be seen. For in-
stance, if he wants a plow point, he
will place the old one where it will
be observed. lie has horses, cattle
and hogs on his farm. Mr. Alexan-
der assists him in attending to his
business affairs.
Before his mother and sister"died
persons communicated with him
through them, but not where others
could hear the conversation. This
man is now forty years of age, and
we are told that this strange informa-
tion has never been published before.
Sound Criticism.
The Noith Texan calls it mean-
ness and spltefulness in the Texas
press to criticise the quasi-Democra-
cy of those North Texans who are
at heart Republicans, (having been
raised as such) but who finding no
other respectable party here adhere
to the Democrs.tic party as the best
thing to do under the circumstances.
Well, we expect the papers of
North Texas to make some kind of
defense for this parasite upon the
party there, and shall allow them a
liberal latitude, but we have a lordly
contempt for those squeamish souls
who want to be known as Demo-
crats, but who on every and all oc-
casions are trembling lest a bloody
shirt should come in view, and who
would fain ostracise every out-spoken
Democrat as a fire-eater and unwor-
thy to be trusted.
We are willing to have Republi-
cans criticise cur Democracy as they
are entitled to do so, but we want no
Republican in the guise of a Demo-
crat to carp at us or our party as lire-
eaters and bloody-shii t shriekers. Of
course, we never alluded to the si-
mon-pure Democrats of North Tex-
as, who, though numerous, are, we
fear, in a minority as regards their
own party.
It is not either mean or spiteful to
spew out the class of so-called Dem-
ocrats we have alluded [o.—Mcxia
Ledger.
A Vienna dispatch reports that
Austria has notified the powers that
if Alkaleh ceases to be Turkish it
can only become Austrian!
UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED
Supposed to Have Friends in
Sherman.
Special to Galveston News.
Foiit Griffin, May 26.—The bo-
dy of a man between thirty and for-
ty years of age was found this morn-
ing floating in the Clear Fork of the
Brazos at this place. Upon exami-
nation a letter was found in the
drowned man's vest pocket, dated
Sherman, April 14, 1878, addressed
"Dear Hank," and signed "Steph-
ens," ns near as could be ascertained.
The touching contents of this letter,
prove it to be a mother's letter to
her son, the unfortunate drowned
man, supposed to be Hank Stephens.
Upon his person was further found
the tin type of a Miss about 13 years
old, named Gerdie; also a postal '
card from Sherman, signed "C. F.
Stephens," No marks of violence
were found on tire body, which has
apparently been in the water eight
days, and is highly decomposed.
OSCAR HOLMES.
lie is Said to he Visiting Rela-
tives in Willis.
From the Houston Telegram
It is well remembered that some
time ago Oscar Holmes, one of the
proprietors of the notorious "Revolv-
ing Light" saloon, skipped the town,
in order to avoid receiving a merited
punishment for a dastardly act,
leaving his bondsmen to pay the
amount of several bonds for which
he had been indicted by the grand
jury. In one of the cases the amount
of judgment against the bondsmen
was remitted by Governor Hubbard.
After Holmes' departure, between
two days, nothing further was heard
from him, and the man and mis-
deeds were buried in oblivion so far
as I he people of Houston were con-
cerned. Rumors have been quietly
going the rounds that Holmes has
been for some time at Willis, fifty
miles from this city, in Montgomery
county. Several train men of the I.
& G. N. railroad reported having
seen him, and last week a well-
known sporting man, it is said, visit-
ed him and spent two days with him.
As he is still under indictment it
is safe to presume that the county of-
ficials will take steps to secure his
arrest.
Shooting Afl'ray at Port Worth
Special to the Dallas Commercial.
Fort Worth, May 28.—Dave
Biown, who is a brother to Bob, of
the dance house notority, shot a
Frank Dereve, the barkeeper of the
compress saloon, last night at the
Waco Tap. It is not thought that
he will live. Brown is under ar-
rest.
Joe Wright, one ot the Barton
m irderers, was arrested and sent to
jail for attempting to kill a negro
man.
Tho Dallas and Wichita.
What is called in Dallas the Cal-
der faction has sprung new touches
on the Dallas and Wichita railroad
company, effected a coup de main,
so to speak, and thrown the road in-
to the hands of a receiver, one
Harris, of Kansas, who is supposed
to be in the interests of the Kansas
City Rolling Mills. The Herald
says the purpose of the Kansas City
company has now developed itself
to be to foreclose the mortgage upon
the railroad, sell it with all its prop-
erty and franchises, and so prize out
every stock-holder and every interest
except its own. The city stock as
well as the stock of all others goes
by the board, and the Kansas Roll-
ing Mills gobbles up the whole.
Our Dallas friends arc truly un-
fortunate in their narrow gauge rail-
road enterprise, and they have our
sympathies. The road is needed,
and would pay good dividends, but
internal dissentions will be the ru-
ination of the company. The city of
Dallas has about one hundred thous-
and dollars interest in this road.

The San Saba Trouble Explained.
The trouble in San Saba county is
explained. One Brown, prosecuted
by the county attorney for violating
the local option law, drew his pistol
on his prosecutor* in the court room,
and told him his time had come.
The prosecutor was unarmed and
begged for a chance to arm himself.
ILovvn was about to shoot, when the
law partner of the county attorney
coming up, and seeing Brown about
to kill his partner, shot Brown. The
county judge ordered a posse to be
summoned to convey Kendall, who
did the shooting, to Travis for safe
keeping. The officer summoned on
the posse several relatives of the
man killed. Friends of Kendall ale
guarding him in San Saba court
house till state troops come to take
charge, refusing the posse posssess-
ion of him. Troops have gone from
two points to San Saba,— Galveston
