Naches Bar Deepening.
Beaumont, Texas, October 29.—Cap-
tain Plummer arrived in Beaumont
this afternoon, having piloted the Gulf
Towing company’s tug Rolla from Sa-
bine Pass up the Neches river to Beau-
mont, Captain Plummer says he
brought the Rolla across the bar at
the mouth of the Neches river draw-
ing seven feet of water. In doing this
Captain Plummer has demonstrated
that the bar at the mouth of the Nech s
is deepening instead of shoaling, and
that the water there is deeper than on
the Sabine river bar.
Reed at Stockton.
Stockton, Cal., October 29.—Thomas
B. Reed, accompanied by his daughter
and party, arrived yesterday afternoon
from Los Angeles. He was met by a
club composed of natives of Maine, who
escorted him to his hotel. Crowds
cheered the distinguished visitor as he
drove from the station.
At Modesto a large number of repub-
licans with a brass band met the train,
but Mr. Reed refused all requests for a
speech. In his earlier years Mr. Reed
resided in Stockton and taught school
here. This is his first visit to his for-
mer home,

Cyclone at Sherman.
Sherman, Texas, Oct. 29.—Although
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place, the cyclonic disturbance
which visited Sherman last May, caus-
ing such a loss of life and property, re-
turned last evening to complete the
work of disaster, but it was in a milder
form and the details are not so horri-
ble to contemplate.
The path of the cyclone was within
one mile of the town of Howe.
The Fitch farm, three-quarters of a
mile from East Sherman, was torn to
shreds, and the fury of the storm was
next felt at East Sherman, where it
did a great deal of damage to property
and injured a number of people.
Eight people are reported dead, but
no names can be learned.

A good story comes from frookport,
N. Y., relative to the unusual effect
that a proposal had upon a young lady,
who was riding home from town in
company with a gallant young man.
The glorious October moon shone down
upon the couple, enveloping them in
a light which is the particular delight
of Cupid. The young man had been
an admirer of the young lady for many
moons and that night he was embold-
ened to speak what was In his heart.
He did so, and sad to relate, the fair
one fainted. The young lover was so
disconcerted that it seems after he
succeeded in reviving his companion
he did not press her for an answer.
She didn’t even get a chance to say
“how sudden.” Young men should be
careful how they shock their sweet*
hearts. __________________

How a Bright Woman Teaches Eittlo
Ones a Foreign Language.
According to a Philadelphia paper
there is a woman in that city who
teaches French and German in most
original fashion to several totties of 7,
8 and 9 years. And, by th.e way, they
are most lovable, those small mortals,
when they lisp out the French words.
They are as ill-provided with front
teeth as most little lads and lassies of
tender years, and so “chat” and “chien”
and “cheval” completely floor them.
The teacher hangs up a great, gorge-
ous poster in front of the scholars and
tells them about it in French very
slowly and very simply, pointing out
the different objects on the poster as
she mentions them. Then it’s their turn
to tell her all they know, which they do,
fairly climbing over each other in their
eagerness to tell “mademoiselle” some
such trifling information as “La robe de
la dame est bleu et blanche” or “Le
cheval court vite avec le traineau.” But
if the facts they do make known are
not of classic interest they b^ave thought
them out and put them into French,
and these small tots think that French
is the loveliest game they ever played
and it is all due to the brightly colored
posters, which keep the volatile little
wits focused.
The pictures she uses are some she
got in Paris in the summer but she has
supplemented that stock with others
begged or bought, in this country.
The pictures used must be big enough
and clear enough to be quickly and easily
seen by the children. They must be
brightly colored with as little detail as
possible. They must tell a simple story
tellingly and must be of such a nature
as to appeal to a child’s heart.
One of the most successful posters
this teacher uses is an advertisement
of sterilized milk, a poster by Steinlen,
representing a little girl in a gorgeous
red gown drinking milk out of a bowl,
while three hungry and envious puppies
are grouped at her feet. The subject ap-
peals to a child’s whole nature.
This idea might be a help to othei
teachers, for this one has tried it and
succeeded with an average class. These
small boys and girls have a working
vocabulary of about 300 words and last
.September they did not know French
from Sanskrit.
Better From Cleveland.
Indianapolis, October 28.-Hon. Geo
W Julian, who, in spite of years and
imperfect health,made a recent speech
for the gold standard democratic tick-
et received a letter from President
Cleveland. The letter is written as
well as signed by the president’s own
hand The president warmly com-
mends the speech and concludes as
follows: “I can not but believe that
sch expositions of true democracy will
have the effect of calling vast numbers
of our party back to the support of
genuine democratic principles.

President’s Team Runs Away.
Washington, October 29.—The horses
attached to the president’s victoria,
which contained Mrs. Cleveland and a
friend, became frightened this after-
noon at the large iron derrick in front
of the treasury building. The bay
horse reared back, while the chestnut
started forward and fell. The alert-
ness of the footman, who jumped
from his seat, quickly jerked the fallen
animal to its feet, kept the other ani-
mal from treading on its fallen mate.
As soon as the chestnut had regained
its footing the team dashed around the
corner into F street at a furious gait.
Coachman Beckett, who held the reins,
retained his presence of mind and
quickly checked the runaways before
any serious damage happened.
The occupants of the victoria were
the calmest people in the crowd. After
letting the horses stand for a few min-
utes Mr. Beckett whipped them up and
proceeded down F street the same as
if the accident had never happened.
Grand Jury Investigating- Politics.
Dallas, Texas, October 29.—The po
litical corruptions of Texas have got
luto the court house. The Dallas coun-
ty grand jury has for two days been
investigating the work of certain polit
icians. Many witnesses have been be-
fore the body, among them prominen
democrats, populists and republicans
connected with headquarters at the
Oriental hotel. The grand jury, it
seems, has learned that efforts have
been made to buy the electoral vote
of Texas for a money consideration
and they yesterday demanded of the
Western Union Telegraph company
the production in the grand jury room
of certain telegrapms known to have
passed through the Dallas office. Man-
ager Baker refused to comply.
The Western Union, however, admit-
ted the handling of certain dispatches,
but Manager Baker claimed the grand
jury had no right to them, as they were
private matter.
The grand jury gave them till 9
o’clock tomorrow morning to comply
with its request. In the event of his
continued refusal he will stand in con-
tempt of court.
Charges are made of republican ne-
gotiations having been carried on with
certain populist leaders. One of the
telegrams demanded by the grand jury
was an offer from George Gould and
John D. Rockefeller, the telegram read-
ing:
“You are authorized to offer $10,0C0
for delivery of populist vote, under con-
ditions of first proposition; and addi-
tional $100,0000 if McKinley secures
the electoral vote of Texas.
Another telegram demanded by the
grand jury was one sent to Marcus A.
Hanna, Chicago, Ill., which read:
“Think can make deal. Parties
fuse $40,000; demand $60,000.”
More sensational developments

Heart
Failure
IRl Of course
the heart fails to act
■when a man diest
but “ Heart Failure,” so called, nine
times out of ten is caused by Uric
Acid in the blood which the Kidneys
fail to remove, and which corrodes
the heart until U becomes unable to
perform its functions.
® Health Officers in many cities very
properly refuse to accept “ Heart Fail-
ure,” as a cause of death. It is fre-
quently a sign of ignorance in the
physician, or may be given to cover
up the real cause.
Ohdcago, October 28.—While the dem-
ocratic parade in honor of the arri val
of Mr. Bryan in Chicago was passing
the corner of Michigan avenue and
Monroe street yesterday afternoon,
several eggs were thrown at It . by
young students in the Metropolitan
Business college. None of the eggs
came near Mr. Bryan or his wife and
neither of them knew of the episode
until after the parade was over. AU
sorts of sitories w,ere current about the
being that Mrs.
an-
hit.
was true,
however. The first egg thrown at the
parade came from a boy standing on
the sidewalk in front of the Powers
building, in which the Metropolitan
Business college is located. The eggs,
to all appearances, were thrown at
the parade generally and at no partic-
ular individual, as it was not hurled
with any violence. A policeman who
witnessed the act made a rush for the
youngster, who darted up the stairway
into the building.' A second cff.cer
joined the first and as the two- ran for
the doorway several more eggs were
thrown from the windows of the busi
ness college, which is on the fifth floor
of the building. The Oook County
jMarching club, which was escorting
Mr. Bryan, received the bombardment
and several Pirince Albert coats and
glossy black tiles were spattered with
yellow. One or two eggs struck the
sidewalk and the crowd was decorate! .
accordingly.
Later in the afternoon a delegation
from the Oook county democracy des-
cended upon the college with every
symptom of hostility and demanded
that the students who had done the
throwing be turned over to them
They held possession of the college for
a time and finally‘left without learn,
ing who had done the throwing.
Runaway Engines.
Temple, Texas, October 28.—Engine
No. 170 of the Santa Fe railroad,
while standing in the yards yesterday
afternoon reg
worked hero
any one could catch her ran wild,
heading into the table pit and was
smashed up pretty badly. The wreck-
ing crew worked all day yesterday
afternoon and got the wreck cleared.
While a southbound freight train
was pulling out at 9:40 Sunday morn-
ing, the air would not work on the en-
gine, No. 197, and as they had a
heavy load behind them it was im-
possible to stop. The train ran beyond
the water tank, striking a caboose
which -was standing on the main track
throwing it off the track and tearing
the cab and fixtures off the engine.
The engine was totally disabled and
was towed into the Smithville shops.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Miller and Engineer Rankin. No one
was hurt.__________
Burned to Death.
Grandview, Texas, October 28.—Mrs.
Henry Sirratt, living two and a half
miles north of this place, was burned
to death Monday night by the explo-
sion of a lamp. Mrs. Sirratt was alone
in her room at the time of the accident,
her husband, Mr. H. Sirratt, having
been attending church, and their six
children had retired for the night. She
noticed the lamp jumping and flicker-
ing when she went to throw it out of
doors, and as she reached the lamy it
exploded throwing oil and fire over her
face, head and chest, from which she
was so badly burned she soon after
died. But for the timely assistance of
a gentleman friend in another room
of the house it is thought that the
house and all the children would have
been burned.
