I .ust week the street cur drivers
of New York, to the uutuber of
15,000 struck for higher wages.
The strikers blockaded the lints
with loads of bricks, coal, wagons
and carts, aud upsot cars across
the tracks Fifteen hundred special
policemen were sworn in, but were
almost powerless in restoring order.
Street car travel throughout the
the great city was suspended. The
companies finally succumbed, aud
the strikers went to work.
Receiver Brown, of the Texas &
PacifTc, alone is responsible for the
great strike which prevails on the
Gould system of railroads iu Texas,
The exercise of a little judgment
and common sense would l.ave
brought about a settlement. Won-

W. B. Howard, editor of the
Kingston (Hunt county) Chronicle,
on March 5, shot aud kille 1 W. R.
ltusael, the city mai shal, and ulso
wounded with stray buck shot, two
innocent by-Htanders. The trouble
grew out of a publication in the
Chronicle concerning the character
of Russell as an officer aud citizuu.
Howard escaped.
James Holland, the Texan who
killed Tom Davis, the suw-dust
swindler, in New York, has bueu on
trial in that oity, and the proceed-
ings have attracted much interest.
The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty iu less than JO minutes.
Recent oveihauling of the record
shows that Benton liked nine months
of serving thirty years in the United
States Senate. This speaks well
for Mr. Benton.
Blood on the Moon.
Woodbine, Ky., March 5.—Blood
continues to How freely iu the
mountain sections among the
Turner aud Howard factions, num-
bering about tifty-one.
These factious have been at war
for years. Every now uud then a
sympathizer on one or the other side
is caught out aud killed. So it has
been going on until a number of
graves are scattered about over
the county mark the progress of the
feud. A few weeks ago Gordan
Turner and six of his confederates
killed William Lane in Bell county.
Some little time before that John
Howard had stabbed to death
Walker Burkhardt. Yesterday was
set for the trial of these parties at
Pineville. Wednesday another of
the Howards was put to rest in Bell
'ounty, aud last night at this place
John Wolf and James Wyod, repre-
sentatives of the respective factions
who were here attending the trial,
had an encounter in which tho hit ter
was shot to death.
The operatives iu the Studeboker
wagon works, 1000 strong, have
struck. The Htuilehakers were the
gentlemen who coerced their em-
ployes into voting the Republican
ticket last fall. A little coercion
will not hurt the proprieturs just
now.
Kau Antonio would like to know
if the state press association is go-
ing to meet here in April. Our
people propose to treat the brain-
woikeis hospitably, aud would like
to have time to kill a chicken and

The great railroad strike is almas}

For eleven years I have suffere 1
roin a cancerous sore on my throat
At times it became very angry iu
appearance, discharging large quan
titles of matter and giving me in'
tense pain. I used the ordinary
household remedies only, and it
would dry up aud a scab would fortu
>ver it, then it would iucrease in
size again aud trouble me greatly-
and finally break and discharge
freely. Thus for years it has been
unnoying me. A cancer doctor in
Atlanta decided it was a cancer,
and wanted to cut it out. I could
not muster courage to let him use
the knife on my throat. About that
time I Baw the advertisement of
Swift’s Specific, and the statement
if some one suffering like myself. I
determined to try it, and iu May,
1884, I commenced its use. My gen
eral health began to improve from
the first. I was unable to oat any-
thing scarcely, and became quite
feeble; but my appetite increased,
and I 2an eat auything now. The
sore has healed up and I am in
perfect health. The only sign is a
small red spot about the size of a
pea, but it gives me no pain. Am
sure that a few bottles more will
even remove that. It has done
more for me thau all other rem-
edies used. Emma L. Robinson.

Ye “local” was around town gather-

that about fifty bushels of sets have been
sold in SteplienvlUe this season. At V0
cents per quart this represents the neat
little sum of $345, and wo will venture the
assertion thatwhen the crop Is harvested
$o() worth of onions w ill w ill not he put
on the market. Why not save all this
money by planting onion need aud rins-

our people should be so dependent.
Economy is the basis of wealth. It is the

Stephenville spend $345 for onions sets,
