PALESTINE POINTERS.
Question of a System of Street Light-
ing Being Seriously Agitated
by the Citizens.
FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
Little Boy's Leg Broken—Small Mortality In
the Catholic Congresation-Y. M. C. A.
Meetings—Anderson County Notes.
Palestine, Anderson Co.. Tex., Jan. 7.—
The question of street lights is one that
has been worrying the city fathers for a
long time. There is probably no town in
Texas that has as few street lights as Pal-
estine, and yet the trouble can not be
layed entirely at the door of the city coun-
cil for this municipality, like many others
in Texas, has not a very wealthy treasury,
and it is the policy of the present admin-
istration to lift the government out of debt
instead of plunging it deeper in. The peo-
ple have been recording their little kicks
right along ever since this trouble has ex-
isted, but the public highways still remain
dark, except here and there some public-
spirited individual has been liberal enough
to put in a light of his own accord. The
people have contented themselves with
trudging home through the muddy streets
and inky darkness, hoping that the city
government would soon be able to render
relief, but now the question has arisen
whether or not the council ever intends do-
ing anything along this line.
Several high ofllcials connected with the
postoftice department were in the city yes-
terday to see about putting in a free de-
livery. They report that Palestine has the
requisite number of inhabitants and that
the postofllce does the necessary amount
of business, but the fact that the streets
are not lighted will prevent making the
new arrangements at present. On hear-
ing of this a number of citizens called on
the gentlemen at their hotel and pledged
that if that was all that stood in the way
an effort would be made to put in a sys-
tem of street lights by private contribution.
The ofllcials replied that all the postofllce
department required was the street lights
and that they wero anxious to give the city
free delivery.
This has set many to thinking and if the
council at their regular monthJ# meeting
to-night does not take some m-tion It is
probable that the citizens will take hold
of the light question.
There is not. a better town in Texas of
the population of Palestine and but few
municipalities are in as good a condition.
The city council Is composed of the ablest
and best men in the community, but their
policy is to economize.

THE HIGHER COURTS.
COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS.
Austin. Tex., Jan. 6.—A. F. Field vs. D. |
C. Munster—Appeal from Caldwell coun>ty:
On November 13. appellant, having in
his hands as sheriff an execution against .
one J. H. Minister and another, levied on.
s< ize-d and tooK possession of a tlock of
g\K>ds of the value of $!-93, and on the l^th
of the same month sold them at public \
sale. Appellev L>. C. Mi'.nsttr became the ;
purchaser th*-rxoi' for Thereafter D. 1
C. Minister wrought suit against appellant j
lor conv« rsi.>a of the good* and ivco\ered
judgm. nt for $129.! with inter*st. The trial '
court held iha. if th-v goods belonged to
apj < Hee at the time of Ine seizure he was 1
entitled to r coy. r tin ir full market value. J
with interest: and th;u: the fact that he
had Ixniight them In at the sheriff's sale
a:; l r« covered possession of them at less
than their n.uk't value did not in any
wise affect the measure of damages. The
opinion reviews at kngih fhe opinion of
the supreme com : in the cas«* >»f Schooler |
vs. Hut chins (M> 'f.-xas, 324) and the opin-
ion or the comtnls.-vcn of appeals in Hurt
vs. Ilium (7ti T* xas, 113). In neither case
is any other authority discus.-..1 o.- u-
ferivd to, and as the weight of authority
does not tend to support th utu ranees in
those eases, which tend to support the
ruling under eon...deration, the question
should not be regarded as definitely s< t-
tlod. The purpose of the law in awarding
actual damages is to repair the wrong that
'has been done. In this case the goods weiv
worth $12W; they were held fourteen days
and sold; by paying $72". plaintiff regained
possessIon of them. Will it require $121).".
and interest to compensate plaintiff for his
actual loss? T'he court cites the following
authorities: 3 Suth. Dam., 527: 1 Sedg.
Dam.. 50; Field Dam.. Sec. 110. Many cases
are eitvd and revi wed. The conclusion is
that interest en the value from the time
of seizure to the date of sale, the amount
paid by plaintiff tor the goods at the sale
and interest and whatever amount the
goods may have depreciated while with-
held from the plaintiff is the trivet meas-
ure of damages. Reversed and remanded.

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 6.—D. C. Munster vs.
A. F. Fields et al.—From Third district:
Application for writ of error. We are
clearly of the opinion that the application,
for the writ of error In this case should
be rt fused. Rut since the decision of t/u*
count of civil appeals ov- mi lea not only
a former decision of this court, buit also
the ruling of another court of civil ap- '
peals, we deem it proper for the future
guidance of the profession to express our
concurrence in their opinion. The judgment
of the tiiU.l court was reversed and the
cause remanded by the court of civil ap-
peals anil the conflict alone gives us juris-
diction of fhe application.
The opinion of the court of civil appeals
ably reviews the authori'ties upon the
question presented, and is, as we think,
unanswerable. We have made a careful
an I possiibly an exhaustive research and
have found no case, save those in our own
courts, In which a contrary doctrine is
an'r.oun:-ed. To those cited in the opinion
of the court of civil appeals in support of
their ruling may be added the following
ivct nt cases: Kline vs. McCandless (133 Pa.,
223), Fields vs. Williams (8 So. Rep., Ala.,
808). T'he application for wri't of error is
refused. R. R. Gainefc, C. J.

PURSUiQD BY A DBMON.
Mow many suicides, think you. reader,
have been committed by persons driven
distraught and hunted to their doom by
the demon of chronic 111 health? Count-
less. For Instance, we know, do \\e not.
that hypochondriasis Is a monomania—a
sort of minor madness produced by chronic
dyspepsia? Again, insomnia, or sleepless-
ness, often a result of tin- same cause, cul-
minates in a derangement of the reasoning
faculties. It is, therefore, of momentous
consequence to prevent the arrival of dis-
ease ut its chronic phase, when It dally
and nightly scourges the sufferer to a dan-
gerously uncertain goal. No medicine
known to science, as a means of arresting
the maladies to which it is adapted, exists
equal to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Among these complaints are chronic Indi-
gestion and insomnia, kidney and rheu-
matic ailments, constipation and liver trou-
ble. Appetite is improved by the Bitters,
the blood fertilized, and bodily substance
and vigor increased by it.
"Pearl glass" and "pearl top"
are the best in the world, but
good for nothing unless you get
the right shape and size for your
lamp. You want the "Inde:;
to Chimneys"—free.

1S94. Ever to Be Remembered Veno and
Friend:
I write you a few lines
to let you know how I
am getting along. I
ant Improving more rap-
idly than I could even
hope for. On the second
night after my wife
rubbed me. and while we
were sitting at our tire-
side, I said to her. "I be-
lieve I can get up, if you
will stand and catch me
if I fall." She hooted at
the idea, but said she
would catch me If I
wished to try. To her
astonishment I sprang up
and walked without diffi-
culty through the rooms
many times without my
cane. Next morning [
walked a mile, but took
my cane along, lest I
might need it.
Many have since called
to see the "dead walk."
as I was looked upon as
so nearly dead and help-
that every one was simply
astonished. I had not walked in
this way for over thirteen years. I am
seventy years old. When iry daughter
heard of my Improved condition and came
to s.m me, she shouted with joy as [
walked, unaided, about tin house. The
news has spread like wild-lire that old
l nele Henry Gl.Vn lias been enabled to
walk, by use 01 \ • 's medicines, and they
atv coming from eveiy direction to see for
themselves. When they ask me what
cured ^ me. I say ' God and Veno's medi-
cines." I lirst us. the medicines on the
«1 st ot October and on the .'id of November
was walking. Ma> the Lord hless you and
yours. May you live long to help suffer-
ing men and women. From your greatly
improved friend and well-wisher,
P. H. GILLEN.
