The St. Louis Giobe-Domocrat, in a rocont
issue, announces that on March 1 several im-
portant changes will be made in the officials
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway,
among the most important boing the resigna-
tion of FiTst Vice President Waldo of tho
road, which tho paper states has been tendered
and accepted by the management, and that on
tins dato ho will sever his connection with the
line with which ho has boon connected for
many years.
This statement by a supposedly reliable pa-
por, created some iittle comment in this city,
but it is not given much credence, from the
fact that the same paper some six weeks or
two months ago announced that tho Big Four
system would call in all their passenger agents
on or about February 1, which has proven to
bo nothing more than a newspaper fake. ^
Railroad men in this city boliovo Mr. Waldo
will remain with tho roaa for somo time to
come, and as The Npvs stated in an interview
with tho former assistant general passenger
agent, E. B. Parker, of tho road, that should
Mr. Waldo sever his connection with the
Katy it would not bo on account of any dis-
sension existing between himself and Second
Vice-President Purdy, but owing to iil health.
However, it is not thought here that Mr.
Waldo has intentions of resigning, and this
opinion comes from railroaders who aro
posted in this matter.
Tho report in tho Globe-Domocrat further
states that Mr. Waldo will, upon resigning
from the first vico-prosidency of tho Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, accept tho position of
general manager of tho Gould lines in the
southwest at a salary of $25,000 a year, and
that Oho oilice of second vice-prosidont of tho
Katy will be abolished, and Mr. Purdy, who
now holds that position, will fill the vacancy
made by the resignation of Mr. Waldo, and
also, in addition to this promotion, be made
general manager of the road—all of which re-
ports aro disbeliovod hore.
However, the roport is the subject of a great
doal of comment, and the result will bo
watched with much interest.

General manager T. M. Campbell of tho In-

m., when Avent & Thayer's Kingston and Ii.
B. Morgan's Ruby Blade started. Kingston

and will run in tho second serios.
The next race was bet v.. en Avant & Thay-
er's Lochinvar and F. F. Myles' Modoc, win-
ner of tho lato Bexar field trial Derby, Bexar,

pointed more birds but Lochinvar was also
good on birds, while his range and style were
also above the ordinary.
Tho next brace to run was tho English setter
Sport and the pointer Kent Elgin. This pair
did well and the judges have decided to run
them again in tho second series to-day. Thoy
ran for fifty-five minutes, with honors about
even.
The next brace was the English setter Lady
Russell and tho pointer Lady Mignonette.
This was a lively race and the pointer kept hor
opponent going tho fifty-cue minutes they
woro running, and, in fact, had a little tho bet-
ter at the finish, hut as both did such excellent
work they will run in the n-xt series. Hope's
Mint and Rex then ran for forty-three min-
utes and Hope's Mint was tho superior on birds.
Avent & Thayer's Hamlet and Pierre Loril-
lard, jr.'s Maiden Mino then rau for forty-
four minutes.

Mint and Maiden Mine: fourth, Lochnivar
and Paul Dombey: fifth,Modoc and Chevalier;

San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 10.—The breach
in the city council growing out of the conflict
over the ordinance for governing tho city elec-
tion to take place next Monday continues to
widen and promises to result in sonous com-
plications. Tho council is still divided into
two wings. Mayor Lockwood and Aldermen
Connor, Porsch and Webber constitute the
adminstration wing, tho opposition consisting
of Aldermen Guerguin, Andorson, Muth,
Boelhauwe, Hickman and Daugherty. The
anti-administration wing held an adjourned
session of tho council to-day, tho mayor, city
clerk and administration aldermen remaining
absent. Guerguin was elected mayor pro
tem and states that tho meeting was to ascer-
tain whether the administration party had as-
sented to the nominations of eloction officers
made by tho council yesterday under tho
Bergstrom ordinance, after the mayor and
his foilowors had left tho mooting. There bo-
ing no response the mayor pro tem declared
that tho appointments wouid stand.
At this juncture City Clerk Claudon was
brought in on a summons from the council,
and being informed that the council was in
session and it was desired that he discharge
his duties, ho complied. Ciork Claudon's
minutes of yesterday's meeting were road, and
where they stated that Mayor Lock wood de-
clared the meeting adjourned, they wero
amended to read: "Tho council refusod to
adjourn by a vote of 8 to 3."
A resolution by Aldormon Anderson was
then adopted requiring the mayor and acting
mayor to direct the city marshal and police
officers to assist and aid the election officers
appointed by the council and protect them
from any interference, and upon the failure of
the marshal and polico to render such protec-
tion that the mayor appoint special police offi-
cers for the purpose, and should tho mayor
refuse to act then the acting mayor shall per-
form such duties.
The council then adjourned until Saturday
noon.
Meanwhile Mayor Lockwood flatly refuses
to recognize the council proceedings had
alter ho left the chamber yesterday. Ho de-
clares that the ordinance adopted and the ap-
pointment of election officers by the eight al-
dermen aro illegal, and lie will proceed to
conduct the oiection regardless of their pro-
ceedings. This means that thero will bo a
conflict on election day as to whether the ofll-
cors named by tho council or thoso chosen by
the mayor's appointees will have charge of
the polls. Both sides claim to be fortified
under the law, and the entire trouble exists in
a legal quibble as to whether the now Aus-
tralian state law leaves tho seloction of elec-
tion officers to the city council. Mayor Lock-
wood claims that it does not.
Excitement has been increased by these de-
velopments, and tho city will be astir with
marching clubs and political meetings until
the election Monday. It is freely predicted
that tho eloction will bo contested in tho
courts, regardless of what tho rosult may bo
at tho poiis.
BASTROP COUNTY TEACHERS.
Interesting Programme Discussed Resolu-
tion on the Text Book Matter.
Smithville, Tex., Feb. 10.—By provious
appointment tho Bastrop county teachers' in-
stitute was hold at Smithville on Saturday,
February 4, with President R. L. Hovis of
McDado in the chair.
The exercises wero introduced by saercd
music, and prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.
Renick of Smithville.
Tho address of welcome was made by Rev.
Mr. Renick, and was repieto with thought.
Mr. R. L. Hovis responded in his usual
happy manner, emphasizing tho fact that tho
institute had never beforo been addressed by
a clergyman.
The regular programme was then taken up.
The first subject, '"Grading Country Schools,"
was postponed until afternoon to await the
arrival of Miss Cooke, to whom the leading
paper had been assigned.
Tho leading paper upon the next subject,
"Elementary English," had been assigned to
Prof. J. C. Kuykendall of Elgin, who was not
present, and Prof. 0'Ke< fe of Smithville p <>-
ceeded to read the secondary paper upon that
subject. This was followed by an interesting
and animated discussion,
A committee on resolutions was appointed
as follows; Miss Lucy Lane, T. C. Johns and
T. JI. Jenkins.
Committee on programme for next meet-
ing: Mrs. E. Y. Campbeil, Mrs. S. J. Orgain
and Mr. Jas. O'Koefe.
afternoon session.
"Grading Country Schools" was the next
subject. Tho teacher to whom the leading
paper had been given was not yet present and
Mr. Hovis read the secondary paper, which
was followed by a profitable discussion.
A general discussion of the subject of "Pen-
manship" followed. This concluded the reg-
ular exercises, which woro pronounced very
entertaining as well as useful.
The committee on resolutions then present-
ed the following, which met the approval of
ail present:

.Says, and tho Terrible Picture

An Interesting Case,
A Washington tolegram says that in tho
case of General David S. Stanley et al. against
Mary U. Schwalby, in orror to tho supremo
court of Texas, was reversod and roinaudod
by the supremo court for furthor proooodings
not inconsistent with tho opinion of tho
United States supreme court. The suit is an
interesting one. It is of trespass and try
title to a lot in the government reservation at
the military post here, val ued at $5000. The
property was claimed by Mary U.Schwalby on
a deed that her father had received from Mrs.
A. J. Diguowity in the early sixties, which
had never been placod on record. The suit
was brought against General Stanley and
other ollieers who wero in possession of the
property. Tho United States then camo in
and asked through tho United States district
attorney to become a party to tho suit,
claiming the property as belonging to the
government. Judgo Kiug gave plaintiff
judgment for tho property on tho
strength of this unrecorded deed, tho
United States deraigning titlo from Mrs. Dig-
nowity through a quitclaim deed subsequent
to tho deod to Mrs. Sehwalby's ancestor. The
easo was appealed to tho supremo court of
Ttxas and was afilrmed by that court. Appli-
cation was mado to Jnstico Lamar and writ of
error was allowed by him. Tho supreme
court of Texas hold that tho United Statos
could not be a party to tho suit. The case was
then appoalod to tho supremo court of the
United States with tho result as given abovo.
The Extradition Cases.
In tho extradition proceedings in the case of
General Francisco lienavidos, the revolution-
ists, two witnesses from Mexico were ex-
amined. Toman Martinez belongod to tho
dotaclnnout of Kuralos, or Mexican cavalry,
stationed at San Ignacio. Ho was about a
mile from the garrison at tho time of tho rev-
olutionists, attack 011 December 10, but was
captured by them, and in passing tho garrison
saw it in ashes, and tho body of a Mexican
soldier lying near. There wero about 100
revolutionists under tho command of General
Francisco Bcnnvides, They took witness to
the American sido with them and kopt lnm
prisoner a month, when ho escaped one night.
Witnoss says tho revolutionists rciuuinod in
camp on the Amorican sido nearly opposite
San Ignacio for a week alter the raid.
Refugio Martinoz, who lives at Guerrero,
Mexico, was working near tho barracks at San
Ignacio when tho attack was made. He heard
tiring and shouts of hurrah for Garza. Ho
locked himself in a houso, but was subse-
quently captured by tho revolutionists who
hold him three days, when ho escaped. Ho
said ho asKed why ho was kept as n prisoner,
and Bonavides replied that it was boeauso ho
was suspected of calling tho revolutionists
bandits.
Court then adjourned. Thero are other wit-
nesses just from Mexico.

In tho North American Roviow for Decem-
ber Dr. Henry Smith Williams, medical su-
perintendent of tho Randall's islands and an
authority on diseases of the brain, had an
articlo on "General Paresis of the Insane,"
which attracted wide and deserved attention.
Wo quote its opening paragraph:
"Of all the diseases that menace the race
only a fow aro absolutely fatal. Indeed, there
is but one common disease that invariably
brings its victims speedily to the gravo. This
most ruthless of maladies is that terrible
form of insanity technically called general
paresis or parotic dementia and known to tho
laymen as 'softening of tho brain.' Its un-
varying history entitles it to precedence over
consumption, cancer, Bright's disease—in
short, places it peerless in bad pre-eminence.
And, as if this wore not enough, its malignity
is emphasized by the way in which it juggles
with its victim beforo it extinguishes his life.
It changes his |. •-.sonality, dethrones reason,
almost eliminates the mind and, steadily
weakening tho body, leaves toward tho iast a
more skeietai, vegetative being, scarce recog-
nizable as the Vi stige of his former self, un-
knowing, unfeeling, nnudless—to his friends
i at onco a tearful memory aud a terrible, ob-
! jective pre-ence. Fmaliy death comes in a
I form horrible <-:i«»ugh to bo the littnig climax
| of so awful a disease.
i Paresis has numbered among its victims
j scores of eminent men. It does nob strike
S down the clod, but the active, alert, nervously
j organized business man. author, actor, atatos-
j man', physician, journaifrt, etc.
What is its causeV
Jn a word,abuse of function, over-activity.
Who among us does not know of a once bril-
liant intellect now periodically clouded, or
perchance brought to an ineurab.e condition
by overwork or abuse of certain functions.
We do not wish to uaneces^ar.ly harrow up
the feelings of the reader. What we desire is
to point out tho way of escape. When a man
feels that he is losing Ins grip on business, that
his memory is failing him, that ho tires easily,
that his head aches, and that ho can not eat and
sleep well, it is high time to call a halt. It is
either a question of less business, less udf-
gratification, or softening of the brain and
death. When a woman feels that she is less
brilliant, loss able to perform her social duties;
when she realizes that she is growing sallower,
weaker, less attractive, it is timo for her to
pause and reflect.
Hut y».u say: "What can I do? How can I
escaped" The answer is simple. Fo'low tho
laws of life, the dictates of common sense.
Do as so many others have done, take tho
greatest scientific preparation of the ago for
preventing and counteracting theso troubles.

You know what it is. You havo heard your
frionds speak of it. You know that it is
Warner's Safo Cure. Further particulars of
which will bo furnished free on application to
tiie Medical Department of H. H. Warner &
Co., Rochester, X. Y. Warner's Saie Curo
will relieve ttie engorged kidneys, aid diges-
tion and assist in waking healthy bluod.
Thousands have escaped the asylum aud pre-
mature death by pursuing the course wo have
outlined, and we beg of you reader, that for
your own sake as well as the happiness of
those who are near and dear to you, to ba wise
in tui#und to-day begin that coursu of living,
and resort to that help which will lead to a
vigorous life with faculties unimpaired, and
With yearn of usefulness for yourself and
friends in store.
Mr. 0. E. Lawronce, a banker and member
of the New York stock exchange, speaking u,>-
on this subject, said: "Any one who has ever
been lu the Now York stock exchange, or has
witnessed the amount of mental pressure thnt
it involves, doos not need to bo told that Amer-
icans live too rapidly, and yet many men and
women live to as green all old ago as Europe-
ans, but iu addition to working hard they re-
create and use proper tonics. I think, by ex-
perience. that Warner's Safe Cure is au excel-
lent tonic."
The experience of Mr. F. W. Whiting, who
is interested in telephones, has been, iu many
respects, remarkable. This is what he says:
"Yes, wo do live too rapidly; wo succeed and
accumulate wealth, but we exhaust ourselves
in doing it. I know this from my own experi-
ence. The pace at which I did business near-
ly killed me. A few years ago I was nervous,
irritable, rua down. I longed for life, yet did
not care for it. I dreaded death, but living
was unbearable. What! In perfect health now?
Yos, 1 am. I save my strength, uso good judg-
ment and take Warner's Safo Cure regularly.
I am not ashamed of this, but rather proud of
it. I have found it to bo indispensable to my
health and happiness. Do I work V Yos, hard
every day, and I believe all Americans can do
the same thing regardless of the climate, com-
petition or social demands if they will act
upon my suggestion."
The Hon. 11. S. Ureenleaf, who was re-
cently seen at t he houso of representatives iu
Washington, added his testimony in tho fol-
lowing outspoken words: "l'ho exhaustions of
public lifo are certainly very great, but so
also are the strains of business life. In count-
eracting tlieir dangerous effects Warner's Safo
Curo is unsurpassed. It is a splendid remedy.
I speak from personal experience."
The dangers of modern life are groat, but
they can bo avoided by care and tho uso of
the right remedy. Will you neglect so im-
portant a matter?
