his wishes, but came on his long and
earnest entreaties, and of this she says
she has ample proof. She says she can
and will prove his whole statement a
tissue of falsehoods. According ro her
statement Selden is by no means a
worthy^citizen or a loyal provident hus-
band.
, An ehterprUing tramp took in the
town yesterday in rather a novel way.
He visited the offices of the different
dentiets, introducing himself as a
brother dentist in reduced circum-
stances, and in each office asked to be
employed to assist In the mechanical
department. In his visits to a large
number of dentists he managed to steal
a number of lorccps. which he would
offer for sale at the next office he en-
tered. To one dentist lie offered four
of the instruments, worth probably
about $10. for $1. It is said that he
finally succeeded in selling them.

tention to all matters Intrusted to them
guaranteed. These gentlemen are too
well known in Fort Worth to need any
remarks either ns to their abilities or
their standing iu the community. .AH

or wish to invest, are invited to call at
their office, on Main street, near the
public square, and they will receive am-
ple satisfaction, wlietier they want to
buy or sell. _

A Democrat reporter noticed with
The Statement of Iff. B. Davis as Made
to a Democrat Reporter.
A Dkmocrat reporter met M. B. Davis
this morning and questioned him in re-
gard to the matter in which ho has
played bo prominent, a part. Mr. Davis
denied in toto the statement of Selden,
as regards himself, and furtherjsaysthat
he is a boarder at Mrs. Seidell's house.
Mrs. Selden is the custodian of his little
girl, who resides at her house. He
spoke in unmeasured terms of Seidell's
conduct in the whole affair, and said
that he thought he was justified in the
course he had taken.
The Dkmocrat man then asked 'him
about the difficulty which occurred at
the Mansion House. He replied that he
met Selden on the street and endeavored
to induce him to deny any statement
he bad made or any reports he had
formulated to the detriment of his wife's
character. This Selden refused to do,
whereupon Davis offered hlin an indig-
nity which, as he savs, he supposed
no man would submit to. Selden
then walked off to the .hotel.
Shortly after. Davis followed hnd sent
word up stairs, as stated In the Dkaio-
crat yesterday, for Selden to come
down. Upon his refusing to do so Davis
went up to his room aud found him ly-
ing on the bed, with his boots oil'.
Davis states that he was quivering with
excitement-and rage, and upon Selden
again refusiug to come outside, he
struck him In the face. He then turned,
when Selden sprang at him from behind,
They struggled and fell to the floor,
when SelOen obti iaed a little the ad-
vantage. Davis bit hfm on the arm,
Selden loosed his hold, when Davis sue
ceeded in obtaining the advantage, and
catching up a boot lyinp on the floor
beat him on the head wit'i it. As he
rose from the prostrate figure of Selden,
bo stamped him with bis foot. He then
left. Tne case came up for trial this
morning In the recorder's court, when
Judge Feild dismissed it for want of
jurisdiction. The case was sent before
the county court.
Davis furnished bond dnring the day.
In the sum of $200. to appear before the
county court when wanted.

Piles
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to think he has some affection of
the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times symptoms of Indigestion are pres-
ent, as flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspi-
ration., producing a very disagreeable
Itching, particularly at night after get-
ting warm In bed, is a very common at-
tendant. Blind. Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorb-
ing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure,
where ail other remedies have failed.
Do not delay until the drain on the sys-
tem produces permanent disability, but
try it and be cured. Price, 50 cents.
