Good Results in Every Case.
D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tennessee, writes that he
was seriously afflicted with a severe cold
that settled on his lungs; had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, did so, and was entirely cure,d
by use of a few bottles. Since which
time he has used it in his family for all
Coughs and Colds with best results. This
is the experience of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this Wonderful Dis-
covery.

Saved by Oil.
A wrecx on Sable Island deserves at-
tention because of its bearing upon a
problem now deeply interesting seafarers
the world over. It happened in 1846,
and Superintendent Darby is our au-
thority. A wild gale had suddenly
sprung up, and he and his men . were
patrolling the beach, when they descried
a large schooner running right down be-
fore the storm dead on to the lee shore.
The sea was breaking everywhere as far
as the eye could reach, and it seemed
impossible for any vessel to live in it for
a moment; yet on the schooner came,
passing breaker after breaker uninjured,
the extraordinary thing being that, al-
though the huge waves raised their curled
heads almost to the top of her masts, and
the fall of any of them upon her deck
would have crushed her like an egg shell,
not one seemed permitted to touch her.
On the contrary, as if by a miracle, the
sea became smooth ere it reached her,
and she left a shining track behind.
After some minutes of thrilling suspense,
she was hurled high and dry upon the
beach, and every one of her crew rescued
uninjured.
Then came the explanation of the
strange phenomenon which had so mys-
tified Superintendent Darby. Two large
casks filled with fish oil had been lashed
in the fore rigging, and, securely lashed
beside them, two of the strongest sailors
in the crew, with long wooden ladles in
hand, had been throwing the oil high up
in the air, where it was caught by the
wind and carried far to leeward in ad-
vance of the vessel, spreading over the sea
with such effect that, while it was raging,
pitching and breaking all about her, not
a barrel of water fell upon the Arno’s
deck. I believe this may with safety be
claimed as one of the earliest recorded in-
stances of the practical application of oil
to the troubled waters.—-Scribner’s Maga-
zine.
Trustee’s Sale.
By virtue of the authority in me vested as trustee
under a certain deed of trust executed by the Gal-
veston Casino, dated August 17th, 1885, and record-
ed in book 55, page 213, of the records of Galveston
county, I will sell on
MONDAY, THE 20th DAY OF JUNE, 1887,
at about the hour of noon, at public auction, in front
of the courthouse door of Galveston county, to the
highest and best bidder for cash, lot number twelve
(12), in block number three hundred and eighty-one
(381), in the city of Galveston, county of Galveston,
in the State of Texas, with all the buildings and im-
provements thereon, and will make to the purchaser
such conveyance as I am authorized to do by said
deed of trust.
The said property;was conveyed in trust,—(sub-
ject and subordinate to a trust deed given by the
said Casino as a security of a thirty-two hundred
dollar Note given to C. Wolfer),—to secure the hold-
ers of about eighty bonds of the said Casino issued
in the year 1875, and falling due in August, 1885,
each for thirty-seven dollars, bearing eight per cent
interest from date of issuance. This sale will be
made because some of the bondholders have com-
menced proceedings in the County and District
Courts of Galveston county, to collect some of said
bonds, the said proceedings being one of the causes
mentioned in said trust deed, which authorizes and
directs the trustee to enforce the trust. The sale
and conveyance will be made subject to the trust
deed given to secure the aforesaid Wolfer note of
$3200, M. F. MOTT, Trustee.

Too Much Alcohol.
The chemist of the Massachusetts state
board of health has recently analyzed a
large number of so-called temperance
drinks, and has found that all of them
contain alcohol, one of them containing
as much as 44.3 per cent., and a very
large proportion more than 20 per cent.

Unveiling; an Indian Idol.
A rock which the Sioux Indians near
Fort Yates, D. T., have worshiped for
generations as the petrified form of a
young squaw, was formally unveiled the
other day and dedicated to peace and.
plenty. It appears that the white settlers
in the vicinity have long supposed that
this specimen of nature’s art work exert-
ed a restraining influence on the Indians,
but of late the rock has been removed
from its original resting place and it was
feared that with its removal its charm
had disappeared. So the suggestion was
made to Sitting Bull that the statue be
placed upon a permanent pedestal and un-
veiled with appropriate ceremonies. This
pleased the chieftain and 5,000 Indians
assembled to take part in the strange
medley of Christian and pagan rites by
which the unveiling was accompanied.—

Newspapers for the Czar.
So nervous and irritable has the czar
become that the causes of his troubles
must never’ be mentioned to him in any
way. In order to obey his wishes in this
respect, the very newspapers he reads
have to be specially prepared. He now
receives no other papers but those ex-
pressly printed for him; the veriest penny
magazines of old, containing at best a few
inoffensive dispatches, the rest being made
up of society gossip and theatrical notes,
with at best a leader or two thrown in,
recounting the blessings of his autocratic
government, without an over strict ad-
herence to truth in their enumeration.
The editoi- of this special sheet, to which
the czar is the only subscriber, and which
appears in a single number, saw no harm
in inserting the reports of the festivities
on the occasion of Emperor William’s
ninetieth anniversary, whi,'h caused the
czar to exclaim sadly: “I shall never live
to reach fourscore years and ten, and have
the benediction of millions of my subjects
showered upon my head. ”—New York
Tribune.

is pressed from the skin or shuck of the

Hunting for Tramp Dogs and Stray Cats.
A Capital Place for Meditation—Dead
Man’s Landing — The Late Staying
Lovers.
■ Keeper Tom Donohue every night sallies
forth in Central park with his shotgun on
a hunt for tramp dogs and stray cats.
The dogs come in to kill the rabbits,
guineas and peafowl. The sheep are all
penned during the night. Cats go [to [the
park to get squirrels and birds. There
used to be good fishing in the lake, but it
hasn’t been allowed for years.
Night at the menageries is perhaps more
interesting than elsewhere in the park.
Somehow iron bars and cages do not look
nearly so strong at night as they do in
broad -daylight, and a sense of possible
danger adds considerable interest to a
midnight visit. As a rule the brutes sleep
pretty soundly, but there are exceptions.

happy fashion of^hovv ling that the tree contains?” asked the white
man. “ Is it taken up from the soil?”
“Oh, no,” said the native. “The
leaves drink in the rain that falls on
them, and when it has passed all through
them it becomes very pure and sweet. ’ ’
‘ ‘And are there many of these trees on
the island?”
“There are so many that sometimes
one sees no other trees for a mile, and
very often we take no provision or water
when we travel, because we know that
we shall find the traveler’s tree.”
“And you say there are other things
that they fire good for?”
The native answered by asking another
question.
“Do you remember,” he said, “the
village that we passed through this mom-

with leaves? Those huts were made of

wood splits easily, but makes tough

THE LATE STAYING LOVERS.
The latest stayers in the park are the
lovers. They sit close together on the
benches and whisper the old story over
and over again until a gray coated, brass
buttoned disturber happens along and
says in his cruel, official tones: “Time’s
up; all persons must go outside. It’s
after 9 o’clock.” Think of it! Only 9
o’clock, and they could sit there until
3 a. m. and never weary for one instant.
“Well, sir,” said a sparrow policeman,
“them lovers is a study. I’ve done some
courtin’ in my day as well as any one,
but, Lord, I never had it as bad as them

The anarchists beldapicnic yesterday
near Jersey City, and Herr Most made a
speech, The anarchists worked off their
surplus energy by engaging in a general
fight in which a number of people were
injured. It is a standing disgrace to the
nation that such flannel-mouthed fire-
brands as Herr Most should be allowed
to run at large. He should be either
muzzled or shot.

There will be a resolution introduced
in the city council of San Antonio to re-
consider its action in refusing the Pro-
hibitionists permission to speak on the
public plaza. A resolution should be
introduced to make an appropriation to
purchase a blind jackass to kick the fool
mayor and narrow-minded council all
• around the Alamo where brave men died
that idiots might have the privilege of
being elected to offices they are not com-
petent to fill. The action of the Santone
authorities will do more to carry the pro-
hibition amendment to success than all
the ink Gran fill can sling, than all the
venerable stories and alleged jokes Col.
Tom Bonner can inflict upon patient and
long suffering audiences.

An Indolent Organ.
When the liver is indolent, as it must
necessarily be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements of digestion and evacuation,
it should be set at work with Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters. The healthful stimulus
to activity imparted by this incomparable $2,000 each,
alterative, speedily evinces itself in a de-
parture ci Lie uncomfortable sensations
in the right side; the nausea; fur upon
the tongue; indigestion, and sick head-
ache consequent upon inactivity of the
liver and the diversion of the bile from
its proper cii tnael. Irregularity of the
bowels is always and painlessly reformed
by the corrective indicated, which is in-
finitely to be preferred, both because it is
safe and more efficacious to blue pill, cal-
omel ami dreimlfliig purgatives of every
class. It cures and prevents fever and
ague and rheumatism.
NOT RUNNING FOR, OFFICE,
But running for the Lone Star Saloon,
northwest corner of Market and 20th,
where a new keg of beer is tapped every
15 minutes. tf
William Henry Crain will soon be

The governor of Sonora, Mexico, of-

Another French newspaper man has
fought a duel and failed to hurt his an-

the kind -within the past few days. Those
effete Parisian journalists should come

who bites his thumb at him.

Paper and. Its Uses.
There is apparently no limit to the uses
to which paper will eventually be put.
In the past week I have seen in various
places about town paper car wheels,
pails, peach baskets, ink bottles, hats,

j frames and a lot of so-called paper statu-

Care of the Kerosene Lamp. —( _
Why does oil stink in use in the lamps? Bohle’s he has been compelled to put in

like to know. Now, with the best oil
that is made you can produce a gas in
your house that will make the atmosphere
as disagreeable as it is unhealthy. In all
lamps; where proper and complete com-
bustion [s maintained, there is no per-
. ceptible odor from any quality of oil sold

stalk, and making the tree appear like
no sign of springs of water; but the na-

palm like trees standing in a cluster on '
the edge of the forest, with straight 1
trunks and 1 V '
growing from the opposite sides of the
stalk, and making the tree appear like a
great fan. The white man gazed admir- ;
ingly at the tree. “You think it is a fine

a strong flame can be maintained. Now
if, with this supply established, wo turn
down the wick, while there is a limit to
i the flame of the wick, owing to its de-
I crease of burning surface, the supply of
j oil continues in the same ratio, what is
' not consumed in the flame being volatil-
ized into gas, which is carried out with
the ordinary products of combustion into
the air of the room, vitiating it and mak-
ing it very unhealthy to breathe.
Now here, in, my opinion, is the basis
of lamp explosions, and if the proper pro-
portion of atmospheric air gets into a
chimney, or is blown into it, an explosion
is sure to result. In my opinion, most of
the explosions of lamps, so called, occur
j by explosions in the chimneys. A lamp
should never be turned down. It should
never be put out by blowing down the
chimney. It can be easily extinguished
by simply blowing across the top of the
chimney, and a very little practice will
show that this is the easiest and best way.
After blowing out, the wick should be
turned down inside the tube, to prevent
the oil flowing over. A close attention
to the methods I have indicated will, I
am sure, prevent most, if not all, the acci-
dents from explosions of kerosene oil, and
save many lives, as well as many thou-
sands of dollars’ worth of property every
year.—Boston Herald.
