OVER!!
RIZE,
—The election news which came in
Wednesday from Virginia, Ohio, Iowa
and New York was too good to be tak-
en all at once. Subsequent dispatches
confirmed the cheering news.
—Parker county has" decided to have
nothing further to do with the State
Fair and Ballas Exposition. Parker
is chagrined at the loss of the first pre-
■ mium, which it expected and thought
it'would get. Johnson last year'was
represented with one lone kershaw.
This year it was not represented by
even a kershaw, but Johnson has not
got its back up and decided that it will
have nothing in the future to do with
the State Fair. Well, there is nothing
small about Johnson, except, perhaps,
its exhibit at a state fair. In fact
while the Chronicle does not make
the*assertion with any degree of pride,
it takes mighty little, of a state fair to
do Johnson, buttlie Chronicle hopes
for better things next year, and that
the farmers will get together and make
up their minds to show the world what
it has and can produce. Then such
counties as Taylor, which took the first
premium, will want to go off and kick
itself.

St. luouis, Mo., Nov. 5.—A double
murder is reported from Caniden
county, Mo. It appears that on Sun-
day afternoon a young son of Edward
C. Hurst, a farmer living seven miles
from Climas Springs, was assaulted
by John arid Robert Swanagan, living
near by, and badly beaten by them.
The boy went home and reported the
affair, and his father and neighbor, W.
B. Green, started after the Swana-
gans. They soon overhauled them,
and when within twenty paces John
Swanagan opened lire with a double-
barreled shotgun. The first discharge
sent four buckshot entirely through
Hurst’s body, mortally wounding him,
and the second tore away Green’s jaw
and neck, killing him instantly. The
murderers escaped, but the whole
country is aroused, and officers are out
in ah directions searching for them.
Hurst and Green were not armed.
IOWA.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 5.—The vote
in this state will be compared with the
vote tor goverin 1887, when Larrabee,
republican, had 169.688. Anderson
democrat, 153,527, and Cain, union
labor, 14,490. Returns so far received
show a very light vote with slight dem-
ocratic gains over 1887. The state
register claims Hutchison elected by
probably 8000 plurality. The first
ten precincts give Hutchinson 965.
Boles 758, a net republican loss of 39.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 5.—The re-
turns will be slow in coming in on ac-
count of the late hour of closing the
polls. An unusual amount of scratch-
ing was done. Nearly every part of
the state heard from continues to show
democratic gains which, in some pre-
cincts, amount to a landslide. The
city of Burlington gives 1500 demo-
cratic majority and Des Moines county
will raise it to 2000, a clear gain of
800 over the vote of two years ago.
Carroil county reports a democratic
majority of 700, a gain of 500. The
gain in the town of Cherokee is 156.
Scotland Dubuque counties show large
gains. Returns are not sufficient to
bear out the conclusion but they indi-
cate the election of Horace Boles (dem-
ocrat) for governor.
FORAKER CONGRAULATES CAMPBELL.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6.—The re-
publican state committee at 1 p. m..
concedes the election of Campbell and
admit that the legislature is democrat-
ic in both branches. Governor Fora-
ker sent the following telegram:
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6, 1889.
To James F. Campbell, Hamilton, Ohio;
To the full extent that a defeated
candidate can do so with propriety, al-
low me to offer my congratulations,
and assure you it will give me pleas-
ure to extend you every courtesy I can
show vou in connection with your in-
auguration and commencement of your
administration. J. B. Foraker.

Fwnitere Dealers,
A contributor to the Prairie Farmer
writes to that journal:
It will be an exception to the rule it
a number of new agricultural and
farm papers do not start up between
now and the beginning of the new
year. And it will also be an excep-
tion if quite a number of them do not
offer premiums which, according to
their story, are more valuable than the
price asked for the paper, to say noth-
ing of the value of the paper itself.
And by the insertion of attractive ad-
vertisements, making great promises,
they succeed in securing many a hard-
earned dollar from the farmer.
But it is not by newsprper adver-
tisements only that they secure sub-
scribers. In various ways they suc-
ceed in getting the names and address-
es of farmers, and to them seductive
circulars are sent filled with glowing
promises, not only of the paper they
propose to publish, but also of the
j wonderful premiums they will givo it
Hamilton, Ohio:
Hon. J. B. Foraker:
Permit me to thank you most sin-
cerely for the cordial telegram just re-
ceived. I accept with high apprecia-
tion your tender of courtesies upon the
occasion. J. F. Campbell.
LARYLAND.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 6.—The legis-
lature will certainly be democratic,
but by a reduced majoriry. The latest
returns show a republican gain of four
senators and sixteen members of the
house.

New York, Nov. 4.—The World’s
Boston special says: Citizen George
Francis Train, now confined in cell 10,
Charles street jail, has just addressed
the following letter to Gov. Ames:
To the executive chief of Massachu-
setts: I hereby hold the state of Mas-
sachusetts liable for $100,000 damages
for false arrest on a false affidavit.
What right has the state to “kidnap”
a citizen of another state?' How does
the state know the judgment was not
fraudulent? What right has the.state
to place me on the same footing as a
murderer, convict, felon, and lock me
in day and night, because the state
had no debtor prison? In all parts of
the world debto.is, before barbarity
was abolished, are only locked up at
night,having day freedom inside of the
walls. Is debt criminal unless fraud?
Is not a person considered innocent
until found guilty? If everybody in
debt was jailed what would you do for
prisons to hold the convicts? Refused
habeas corpus by six judges, who
sneeze when one takes snuff, I impeach
Massachusetts’ blue laws that would
disgrace the middle ages.
George I rAncis I rain. j the house of the good shep-
herd till I’m 18 I’ll go the bad after-
ward.”
Mrs. Legg was frightened by this
threat, which she had reason to fear
from the coolness with which she
stood her imprisonment would be car-
ried out, and as young Rinehart was
anxious to marry her daughter she re-
lented, the license was secured and the
ceremony was performed. Miss Leg
was taken from the station to her
home by a police officer early yester-
day afternoon to give her a few hours
at least to prepare a trousseau, but
she is still technically under arrest,
and will be until the case is dismissed
from the docket this morning in open
court.—Chicago Herald.

Lynchburg, A- a., Nov. 5.—The Dem-

gain of 600 over the vote at the presi-
dential election in 1888. The legisla-
tive ticket in this ticket is solidly dem-
ocratic.
A REPUBLICAN TURNED OUT.
Richmond. Ara. Nov. 5.—Norfolk
city gives McKinney’ 1500 majority, a
gain of about 2000. The county, near-
ly complete, gives a democratic major-
thing to sav as to the cause winch led
to the result, and he said: “I greatly
regret the result, of course, but I have
no complaints to make of anybody
about anything. I have no time or dis-
position to discuss the causes ; the
newspapers will doubtless do that bet-
ter than I can. I haye sent Mr. Camp-
bell a telegram of congratulation, and
Mr. Campbell sent the following reply
this evening:
San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 4.—Dr. J.
B. Taylor, who was one of the passen-
gers injured in the terrible wreck on
the Santa Fe near Brownwood yester-
day reached this city to-day. When
Dr- Taylor, who was stunned and
painfully cut, regained consciousness,
he at once set to work to assist his
wounded fellow passengers, though so
painfully injured himself as to have to
have to be moved from one patient to
another. Other passengers who came
m with Dr. Taylor say the scene was
one never to be forgotten and that the
doctor’s heroism was the theme of
praise on every tongue. Dr. Taylor
was taken to his room at the San Arf-
tomo club where he is now confined.
Charleston, S. Nov. 5.—Charles-
ton’s great earthquake festival opened
yesterday with cloudless skies and
charming weather. The public build-
ings, private residences and commer-
cial houses were bedecked with flags
from one end of the city to the other.
King street last night presented a fai-
ry picture with its triumphal arches,
illuminated show windows, Chinese
lanterns, gay throngs of sightseers,
bands of music and military parades,
both white and colored troops. Dur-
ing the evening there was a grand
pyrotechnic display on Colonial lake
with a mimic attack of the federal fleet
on Fcrt Sumpter.

Brenham, Texas, Nov. 4.—A dread-
ful accident occurred late Saturday
evening in the Rocky neighborhood,
about nine miles northeast of this
place, in which Tlieophilie Kechle, a
young German girl, lost her life. Her
father, whose name is John Keche,
had come to Brenham with cotton and
her mother was some distance from
the house milking. Tlieophilie was
getting supper when suddenly the
smell of smoke attracted her attention
and looking down she was horrified to
find her clothes on fire. She screamed
and ran out of the house toward the
cow-pen, where her mother was. Her
violent motion fanned the burning gar-
ments into flames which completely
enveloped her. Her mother hastened
to her, but the fire had already burned
the girl’s clothing almost entirely from
her body. A physician was hastily
summoned, who did all in his power
to allevite the fearful agony. There
was no hope of saving life. The girl
died yesterday at sunset.
This morning George Van Hutton,
a 13-year-old boy, was walking to
school up the Santa Fe track. He
reached the trestle about half a mile
south of the depot and was crossing it
when in some way he lost his balance,
and fell to the ground, a distance of
fifteen or twenty feet,
were broken and 1;
badly shaken up.

who is spending the evening)—Won’t

Statements vary as to the magni-
tude of the army which Xerxes brought
with him fr<?m Persia for the over-
throw of Greece, but even if oriental
imagination is allowed to dwell upon
the figures this array would be small-
er than the armies that several of the
modern European governments can
now call out in case of need. A com-
plete mobilization would give to France
an army numbering between 2,500,000
and 3,000,000 men. Indeed some re-
cent authorities have estimated that
lender the new military rule in a few
years more the number of men who
would be directly connected with the
army, or connected with its military
operations would not tall short of
4,000,000. Germany could now put
into the field an army of 2,650,000,
which will doubtless be increased by
the proposed ^changes Jn the military
law to more than 3,000,000. Austria
has prepared for war a force number-
ing about 1,300,000. The Italian army
upon a war footing numbers about
2,500,000, while the Russian army has
resources in troops which amount up
to 5,0j)0,000.—Boston Herald.

Water Filtering;.
Various patterns of filters are in use,
very few of which are of any value
whatever. They act only as a strain-
er to remove the coarser impurities,
but have no effect upon the micro-
scopic bacteria, or matters held in so-
lution, which are the most dangerous.
A flannel bag is exactly as good filter
as these expensive devices, and pos-
sesses the additional advantages of be-
ing easily cleaned or renewed. The
most effective filters are those in
which a disk of porous stone or earth-
enware forms the filtering material,
but it is best to make sure of the orig-
inal supply of water, rather than to
try to purify it by any such uncertain
methods.—Popular Science Monthly.’

When you are ready to buy
remember we carry a complete
line of Hardware, Stoves,
Queensware, Glassware, Cut-
lery, Tinware, Iron, Wagon
Material and Farm Wagons.
Among our stoves are the cel-
ebrated Superior, Mohawk
and Alamo. After .an expe-
rience of twelve years, and a
sale of many hundred Bridge
and Beach Cook Stoves we
have never known a fire-back
to burn out of a Superior
Cook Stove, not even a ca.se to
replace one in the low priced
Alamo.
Our Queensware depart-
ment consists almost wholly
of imported ware, bought di-
rect from importers and we
are able thereby to give as
low prices on English-white
and decorated ware as any
house in North Texas.
We have greatly increased
our stock, adding many new
lines of goods. We appreci-
ate the liberal patronage we
have received, and will always
give you the benefit, as we be-
lieve we have in being able to
purchase directly from man-
ufactures.

behind the average- for the length of
time it is sent; must be evident to
every one who will stop and consider.
To publish a paper of jmwtieal value
costs ^something, and a paper that
promises a present equal in value to
the subscription, either expects to
print a very cheap paper, or the value
of both is misrepresented.
There is no occasion for throwing
money away on those catch-penny af-
fairs. There is a sufficient of good,
practical agricultural pap’efs that are
responsible that cannot afford to mis-
represent, for which the farmers can
subscribe with the assurance of get-
ting value received and without tak-
ing unnecessary risks. And while it is
in some respects a pity to have the
farmer swindled, at the same time in
many cases he can hardly hold himself
blameless, as there are usually plenty
of opportunities for subscribing to
first-class farm papers, without taking
the risk of dealing with what is evi-
dently a fraud on its face.
To expect something for nothing is
to invite deception. But it is largely
upon this desire with many that these
catch-penny affairs base their expecta-
tions. They resort to cupidity and
secure victims that would not pay the
same amount to the better class of
papers without the tempting premi-
um, which with this class is always
misrepresented, to say the least, while
it is offen the case that no paper or
premium is sent.
Lebanon, Pa., Nov. 4.—By the
breaking out of molten iron in the
stack of Colebrook furnace No. 10 this
afternoon Harvey Bohl, Henry Berrig,
Isaac Siegrist, William Snyder and
Harvey Beck were killed and John
Bohr, Benjamin Beck and Enoch
Eisenhauer were severely burned. The
men, all of whom were laborers, were
overwhelmed by the rush of molten
metal while at work, and some of them
were burned almost beyond recogni-
tion. The hoisting shaft of the fur-
nace was destroyed.
but was so fatigued he had to go to his
home and rest. A private wire was
run into his office where his private
secretary, Mr. Kurtz, members of the
state committee and prominent repub-
lican politicians, among them Hon. Senate,^republicans, nineteen,
Stephen A. Douglas, Jr., of Chicago, .......
figured on the returns.
Everywhere there was a long list of
candidates to be voted besides the two
propositions to amend the state consti-
tution and the count was very slow.
At midnight considerably less than
one-fifth of the state outside of Hamil-
ton county had been heard from, show-
ing heavy democratic gains. The re-
sult, however, was so uncertain that
there was very little demonstration on
the streets, although thousands of peo-
ple stayed out until a late hour to hear
the news. Chairman Neal of the dem-
ocratic state committee claims Camp-
bell’s election by from five to twelve
thousand plurality. This estimate is
based on the supposition that Hamil-
ton county has given Campbell 5000
plurality, and on reports from other
towns and cities which, outside of
Hamilton county, show decided demo-
cratic gains.
As to the legislature he is in doubt.
He thinks, however, it may be demo-
cratic on joint ballot. The election of
the entire democratic legislative ticket
in Hamilton county is claimed. A
representative has been gained in Per-
ry county and a private telegram from
Toledo claims the election of two
democratic senators and a democratic
representative in place of three repub-
licans who were elected there two
years ago.

There was a quiet wedding- at 34
Pine street, after a courtship the lat-
ter part of which was rather novel if
not romantic. The bride was Miss
Grace Legg, daughter of a commission
merchant on South Water street, who
is a pretty but wayward and decidedly
obstinate”girl of 15. The groom was
John Rinehart, a young man of 20,
employed in a candy store.
Grace is not yet out of short dresses,
and her mother tninks she ought to
stay in them and in school for several
years longer. Grace differed and re-
belled from maternal authority. Sue
didn’t want to go to school, preferring
the society of maturer youths to her
schoolmates. She was fascinated by
the charms of John Rinehart, and per-
sisted in going with him in spite of
her mother’s commands, and to such
an extent that her mother was hor-
rified and threatened to send her to
the house of thr Good Shepherd. The
threat had no avail, and Mrs. Legg in
desperation had her daughter arrested
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
But two nights in the police station
had no effect in curbing her spirit.
“If you’ll come home and be a good
girl,” pleaded her mother, “I wont
send you to the home.”
“I won’t go home unless I can do
as I please,” said Grace stoutly, “and

CHAIRMAN NEAL’S FIGURES.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 5.—Returns
from the state have been so slow the
state committees have been unable to
make any exact estimates as to the re-
sult of the election on either the state
or legislative tickets. The republican
executive committee received returns
in the city hall and announced the
vote to an immense throng. Thedem-
nie rgnm!.y>had no hall, receiv-
ing the news at its rooms, but the lo-
cal committee had quite a crowd in an-
other part of the city. Governor For-
New York, Nov. 4.—Charles Thorne 1
an adventurous young man, has made 1
out a tour for himself of the world 1
without money. J
As you read this young Thorne is i
probably stowed away in one of the ]
freight cars on the Pennsylvania rail-
way bound for the booming west, for
he started Saturday night on his long
journey and his traveling plans includ-
ed the Pennsylvania route and one of
its best freight carrying Gars.
Thorne has traveled great distances
in his time, he says, and his selection,
of any car after examination is a guar-
antee of its completeness in wel turned
wheels and light running trucks, so
that officials of which he may select to
use during his trip may feel highly
complimented.
Thorne is a pleasant-faced fellow,
about 26 years old, and shows in his
conversation and manners a vast
amount of determination and grit. He
is well educated^ talks knowingly about
every country on the globe and the
characteristics of the people thereof,
He pays America a graceful tribute
when he says, as he did yesterday, to
a reporter:
“I knew I should reach Frisco all
right, for I can easily travel on Ameri-
can railroads, for if I get hungry fifty
people will feed me as soon as I ask it.
It’s in Europe that I shall have to
fight the hardest of the trip.”
The circumstances which led to the
journey just begun are peculiar.
Thorne landed in this city from Liver-
pool about a month ago, accompanied
by two friends. While in an up town
cafe a few nights ago all three fell in-
to an argument as to the ability of
anyone journeying around the world,
without paying a fare. Thorne de-
clared he could do it in four months.
One of his friends was dubious, the
other trustful, and a bet resulted be-
tween the two that Thorne could not
accomplish Jie trip in the time named.
It was agreed to pay Thorne for his
trouble if he encircles the globe with-
out money, whether it takes him four
months or four years.
The young man speedily set to work
to map out a route and with his plans
carefully scheduled and a serviceable
outfit was ready to start. From San
Francisco he will stow himself away
or work his passage to New Zealand;
thence ship for some Chinese port and
journey through the Balkan pass to
Russia, thence to Germany, down the
English channel to England and ship
■ from there to this city.
Denver, Col., Nov. 4.—One of the
results of the terrible blizzards' which
swept over Eastern Colorado and
Northern Mexico Thursday and Fri-
day of last week reached here to-day
from Folsom, N. M. Thursday night
Henry Miller, range foreman for Col.
R. G. Head, with several cowboys
camped near the Sierra Grande with
1800 head of beef cattle. While they
were holding for the purpose of load-
ing in cars at 4 o'clock that morning
the blizzard from northwest struck the
herd, driving the cattle toward Pan-
handle, Texas, the cowboys being un-
able to hold them. The snow was so
blinding that it made it impossible to
see fifty feet ahead. Miller called
his men together and they started to
follow the herd, and made an effort to
keep them bunched so far as possible.
The men became separated Friday
night. One of them wandered into
Head’s home ranch half dead with
cold and hunger. He told his story
and a rescuing party was sent out.
At noon the frozen bodies of Henry
Miller. Joe Martin and Charlie Jolly
were found lying on the open plains
not far from Folsom. The other men
•succeeded in finding their way into
camp before being overcome with cold,

A Day of Best.
Sunday School Superintendent—
Can any of you tell me why Sunday is
the day of rest?
Little Dick (holding up his hand)—
I kin. It’s’cause we get up early and
hurry through breakfas’ so’s to dress
in time fer Sunday school, so’s we
won’t be late, and then skip inter
church ’fore the bell stops ringin’ and
then go home to dinner and get fixed
up for afternoon service, and then
get supper an’ go to bed so pa and ma
can get ready for evening service.
That’s all we do.”—New York
Weekly.
A Brave Girl and a Mouse.
Roaring Branch has a young lady of
nerve. The other evening, while en
joying a visit with some friends, a
correspondent asserts a mouse came
from under the sofa where she Was
sitting and found shelter in her skirt,
where he soon made his presence
knowm by becoming too ambitious.
Did she scream or faint? No; she did
nothing of the kind. Just firmly
tightened her hand over a portion of
her clothing mid quietly left the room.
When she removed her hand a dead
mouse fell to the ground.—Wellsboro
Gazette.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 4.—A sicken-
ing accident occurred at tfie Galveston
bagging mid cordage factory this morn-
ing. I’. Chambers, in charge of one of
the calendars, used for the purpose of
measuring off and rolling up rolls of
bagging was caught by his right hand
and drawn into the machine which
made two revolutions before assistance
could be rendered him.
His arm and shoulder were drawn in
then his head and body and be was
rolled around the windlass as one
would roll a sheet of paper. The ma-
chine was stopped and the man taken
out, and although one arm both legs
were broken in many places, and be-
ing otherwise badly mashed up, he
was found to be alive. He was con-
veyed to St. Mary’s infirmary, where
Dr. W. C. Fisher, assissted by Drs.
Sampson and Singer, dressed the
wounds of the unfortunate man, and
found a compound fracture of the
right arm and a comminution of the
bone just below the shoulder, necessi-
tating amputation at the joint, commi-
nute fracture of both thighs, and the
legs are otherwise badly mutilated. It
is doubtful whether the man will sur-
vive. If he does, one arm and one or
both legs will be lost. He is receiving
every attention.

—/The retirement of Mr. Joseph II.
Brown from business and the placing
of liis affairs in the hands of a trustee
■dyrs events that excite a universal re-
*,gret in Fort Worth, because they mean
the loss of a familiar face in the ranks
of business. Mr. Brown’s career has
pareUeled precisely the history of this
city. Beginning with it in village
days, his business grew from a small
grocery to the largest establishment of
the Soutnwest.. The toil, the mental
strain, the responsibility that such de-
velopment involved may be guessed it,
but never realized except through ex-
perience. Napoleon had his weary
marches and fate-deciding battles, but
after them came rest. The man of
large business enterprises upholds the
weight of words, and the burden never
intermits. In the hard struggle of
« business an unvarying victor, Mr.
Brown yields at last to the frailties of
the flesh and steps aside for the rest so
richly won.
The business world gains reassur-
ance from the knowledge that no great
disturbance of its affairs is likely to
result from the retirement of Mr.
Brown, and that the business that has
been the pride of Fort Worth will still
be carried on by men competent not
only to administer it now, but to keep
pace with the development of the
country.—Forth Worth Mail.
