The tramps who were urrested last night
by tte police near Bonner's point, and
who resisted with considerable violence,
were tried this morning before Judge

and were merely tried on a Soharge of va-
grancy. The judge fined each prisoner $10

CAUSED DEEP SORROW.
The report 'hat, Mrs. Joe a. Massle died
yesterday at 12 o'clock nt tbe Massle place,
on Buffalo bayou below Hirrisburg, caused
deep sorrow in circles where deceased was
known. She was born in Galveston, being
the daughter of Dr. Eduiundsonof that cKv.
About ten years ago she was married to
Mr. Hassle, and from tnat period to the
time other death was the jewel of their
home and the most amiable and acoom-
pluhed lady In Chat section of the county.
St e left behind her five beautlfnl children,
whose minds were being molded through
her lender influence to christian ways. A
number of friends and relatives wentdown
tbe bayou to attend the funeral, among
them being Miss Lizzie Evans, Miss Jennie
Criewell and Mrs. H. M. Dasenberry. Mrs.
Massle, the mother of JoeS. Massle, was
with Mrs. Massle when she breathed her

the police dog bum.
Recently W. H. Bailey, editor of the
Herald, wrote a sketch of Bum. the big dog
that constantly accompanies Officer Credo
on his night rounds. It drew forth the fol-
lowing reply from a correspondent signing
himself Oid Resident:
Houston, Tex., January 24.—Editor of
the Herald: In your paper Monday you
tpeak cf the dog Bum, and say "nothing is
known of his parentage and early life."
Will yon publish a correction? Bum, as
you call him, was purchased about four
Tears ego in Chicago from the kennel of a
Mr. Thomas, who is, I am told,a well known
Org fancier of that city, by tbe late Eddie
Fuiton. The price paid was $50. The dog,
then a beautiful pup, was named Bijou.
How Bijou or Bum fell from grace and ba
ceme a dog tramp tbe writer knows not. He
only knows the above to be his true history.
The dog has not forgotten the family of his
old master, for he frequently visits them for
a short time, gets a good square meal a ad
then returns to Policeman Credo. Barn's
sagacity may be attributed to his being part
St. Bernard.
The dog alluded to ie very large, hsavy
and jet black. He keeps on the Main street
beat all night, and is in at the station-house
roll call each morning. After the names
of the force are called he enjoys a good
breakfast, colls up under the big desk and
sleeps until supper time. After supper he
is on band at roll call and then goes to the
Main street beat with Officer Credo, with as
much precision as the veterans of the force.
Strange degs that Intrude on his beat are
generally used by him as mops. A few
months ego he met with great disappoiat
meiitlnthe mopping process. A slender
yellow deg came piking along with a half
tideway eait in front of the Prince build
ing. Bum kept both eyes half closed la a
fraudulent way until the strange dog was
opposite him, when he made a spring and
let out one of his baritone yells. The yellow
Cog proved to be an East Houston snapper
end bit Bnm in eight plaoes in as many
seconds. Bum was so astonished that he
made the air vocal with his yells, and ia an
sttempt to get away with speed broke a leg
from one of John Valentino's billiard
tables as he ran through the hall. ThB yel
low dog from East Houston kept on out
Main street with his regular sldeway gait.
Let making a break as far as he could be
tctn. Officer Credo said that some of the
boys in East Houston put np a job on Bam.

MARSHALL MINUTES,
Tbe Cold Weather and Loss of Stock—Car
Shops Temporarily Closed—Kicked
by a Horse.
marshall, Tex., January 25.—From re-
ports In some parts of the connty the cold
of last week was very severe on cattle. Dr.
Sherrod found four of his fine mares bogged
up to their bodies in a quagmire stone dead.
A fine horse with the mares was taken out
alive, but died soon after. Yearling cattle
that were too poor to endure the winter
have died in the swamp and bottom lands.
The number of head of cattle that died can
not be learned, but losses are reported
heavy.
Notioes are posted on the car shops and
olber departments of the Texas aad Pacific
chops at this place, announcing that "all

the 31st, inclusive. No work will be done
except what may be absolutely necessary
to keep trains moving and loaded cars oat

ruary 1."
It is believed that in February the force
in the shops will be as large as ever before.

hie farm, was kicked by a horse on the leg
just below the knee, lnfllc ing a vary pain-
ful wound, bnt no bones were broken. Hi
was taken to hla home in town, aad at last
accounts was resting comfortably.

The articlo we are going to give away Is ao

Th<i book contains 4B0 pagos, aud in form I*
what is known as a royal octavo, that is (tso
give a better idea of its sl/.e), It la eight and

paper and is handsomely bound in cloth, wlttt
embossed co/ers aud «llt lettered back.
Anothru Thing (and this la wiry wn thin*
the boob worthy of our uko In tills way), U la
different from all other works of tho kind ever
published, and the diflerenue Is such that l»
makes it more valuable tauu any or all ol

This is shown bv the following points, I*
which IS stands alone and without an equal:

by a dangerous disease, It enables you to know
the fact, and in such Cases Its advice is: "Send
for a competent physician at once." Putin
all ordinary cases, such as can be easily cuted
(and must of tho ailments lu a family are ot
this kind, if only yon could recognize them),
it gives full direct!' ns for treatment The
point is, that It leaches you to distinguish be-
tween n dangerous and trilling disease, an<t

necessary to call a physician.

Third. In ttH directions for treatment it 1«
not couuneel to the practice used by any one
class of physicians, but It gives, separately
and for each disease, the methods used by
euch of the different "schools" of medicine,
and in all eases tho prescriptions aro made by
the most eminent men in their respective
nodes of practice. This makes the work
especially suited to the needs of every family,
no matter what "school" ot medicine they
prefer,

I'.esldes this, there are three chapters In the
work, which are worthy of special mention,
namely, those on "Diseases of Women," "DM-
eares of Infants," and "Oare of the Slob."
The llrstof these Is a model of Its kind. II
Is chaste In language, contains no dlsgustlu*
pictures fur children to happen on and oe over
curious about, and taken altogether is the
most practical, sensible and straightforward
treatise upon this delicate subject that baa
ever been printed.
i- This chapter alone 19 worth many times thm
CO)-t of the book for ev ery mother, even if 1*
had to be purchased at Its regular pri se.
The other chapters referred to aro equally
well written and valuable.
But we need not further enlarge upon the
merits of the book. We have said enough to
substantiate our claim that It la diHeronfcfrom
all similar books and to show that it la welt
worth having.
