hope that tbla alleged cure may

The gold-bng democratic or-
gans may pooh pooh, ridionle and
make light of Chairman. Dudley’s
address to tbe democracy of Texas,
but it bristles with telling truths,
which cannot be ignored with
safety. The Journal will repro-
duce aome of the most important
portions of it.
Pbof. Rcentgen, of Wnrzbaob,
Germany, has discovered a pro-
cess by which the interior of
opaque objects may be reflected.
From all that is said about tbe
new discovery and tbe anceessful
experiments already made, little
room is left to donbt that it will
prove to be one of the greatest
scientific disoovsries made daring
tbe present century.
The annaal re-nnlon of Green’s
Brigade took place at Cuero, last
Friday. There were about one
hundred and fifty of the old vet-
erans present, and a very plaaaant
time was had. The citizens of
Onero entertained them in splen-
did style. Yietoria was chosen
as tbs next place of meeting.
Henry Ilse, of Columbns, was
chosen President for the ensuing
year. _ _
The great prize-figbt between
Maher and Fitzsimmons, about
wbiob so much has been said,
took place last Friday opposits
Langtry, Texas, in tbe Btate of
Coahnila, Mexico, and resulted in
Maher being "knocked out” in
tbe first round, and tbe public now
breathes easier. It is to be hoped
thst is the last of these brutal ex-
hibitions on this side of tbe At-
lantic.
Judging from present indica-
tions Mr. Platt, of New York, and
Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, have
an understanding with each other
as to the disposition of tbe dele-
gates from their respective states
and that their votes are not to go
to.any oandidate who isnotbound
to recognize Platt & Quay as con-
spicuously after election as during
the campaign. It is evidont that
it is their intention to boss the
next administration should it be a
republican one.
The Galevston News of Sunday
contains quite a lengthy interview
between the LaGrange reporter of
tbs News and Mr. Jonathan Lane,
in wbiob tbe Istttsr states that he
he will not be a oandidate for the
Dsmooratio nomination for con-
gress this year, and gives his reas-
ons therefor. While The Joubnal
and Mr. Lane are not in accord on
the financial question, it freely ad-
mits that were he obosen to rep-
resent this distriot in oongress he
would prove to be an effloient
member, as be has ability iu an
eminent Aegree, and is an untiring
werker.____
Texas is all right. It is true
that a great opportunity waa mine
•d when this state waa not prop-
erly represented at the World’s
Feir et Chioago, and more reeent
ly at Attests, bat the proposed

leee resources of Texes es sag

those for which our soils and cli-
mate ere adapted, we ere pursuing

es srs eapebls of prodneing tbe
greater part of our food necessi-
ties, and the first sud organic
principle of farming being tbe ca
liability of home support, it foll-
ows tbet our failure to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity is not
tbs part of wisdom or busiuess
judgment.
We believe that instead of im
porting, Texes should at every
season of the year export vegeta
bias, pork prodsot and fruit*
competition with like prodnete
from states less favored in natur-
al adaptability for tbs cheap rais-
ing of farm, orchard and garden
products. We believe that in tbe
year just passed there was not
bnsbel of snrplns feed raised on
tbe farms of Texas and wore more
of it produced and con verted into
all tbe year around marketable fat
live stock it would be found to be
a profitable crop, as thereby we
would keep at borne the vaBt sums
of money now sent out of the state
for tbe produot of natural farm
animals.
Ws consider it a travesty on in-
telligent farming that bat one in
every four of tbe vast number of
cattle sent from Texas to tbe mar-
kets of tbe north are fed before
being shipped, and we urge upon
tbe farmers of Texas tbe absolute
necessity of devoting more at-
tention to the breeding and mar-
keting of cattle, sheep and bogs,
as it has been established by in
oontrovertible experience that
snecessfal farming lie* in this di-
rection. _
WOLTERS FOR STATE SENATOR.
The press of this senatorial dis-
trict speak in very favorable terms
sf Jake’s candidacy for tbs State
senatorship The Journal has
collated tbe following notices
from its exchanges:
The Hallettsvile Herald says
that Senator Friencb Simpson has
deellned to be a oandidate for re-
election, wbicb that paper regrets.
Senator Simpson made an honest,
faithful public servant, is an in-
telligent, thinking man, having
tbe interests of his constituents
at heart, and we believe could be
re-elected. The Citizen learns
that Hod. J. F. Wolters of La
Grange—a very intelligent and
deserving gentlemeut—is in tbe
•eld for senator.—Colorado Cili
zen.
Jaoob F. Wolters, of tbe La-
Grange bar lias announced bis in-
tention to become a oandidate for
the democratic nomination for tbe
Texaa Senate, F. Simpson, Esq.,
having already announced that be
would not again be a candidate.—
Flatonia Argus.
Hon. J F. Wolters of LaGrange
is a candidate for the state senate
to succeed Hon, Friench Simp-
son, who declines to become
oandidate for re-electiou. We
have known Jake for a number of
years, and can trnthfully say irf
him that be is one of the brainiest
young men in the state. He is in
every way capable of discharging
the duties of tbe office, and the
Mercury is glad indeed that he
has decided to become a candi-
date. Here’s luck to you, Jake!—
Weimar Mercury.
While in (be city last week
Hon. J. F. Wolters favored us
with a call. Since Hon. Friench
Simpson has withdrawn from the
race for State Senator from this
distriot it has been generally con-
ceded that Fayette eounty is en-
titled to tbe nomination, and as
Mr. Wolters seems to be the
oboioc of that county he will no
doabt receive tbe nomination
His views are broad and souDd
and be stands squarely on tbe na-
tional platform.—Shiner Gazette.
Tbe Sticker is reliably informed
that Hon. Frienob Simpson will
not offer for re eleotion to state
senate and that Hon. J. F. Wol-
ters will be a oandidate. It is
needless to utter any words o(
praise in behalf of Mr. Wo!
ters, so far as the people of Fay
ette oonnty are concerned, as he
is a native of this, Fayette, coun-
ty. His former homo was at Schu
lsnburg. Ha was soon recognized
aa a yonng attorney of ability and
promise, and was honored by tbe
paople of this oonnty by being
elected connty attorney, which of-
floe be filled with credit and hon-
or to himself and oonnty, declin-
ing, to the regret of many, to be a
candidate for re-election. His
candidacy for the State senate
will be subject to the demoorstio
nominating convention for tbe
senatorial distriot, oompoaed of
the conntios of Colorado, Lavaca
and Fayette. Heretofore Color
ado has famished the state sena
tor in the person of Hon. M. H.
Townsend, and Lavaca in that of
Hon. Friench Simpson. In tbe ap-
proaching eleotion it aeeme fair
for tbe eei

He now hod money to burn, and notwith-
standing bo woa on the abady aide ef aixty,
with bla hair sod board long end unkempt,
be waa conaidered a groat oatch by mother*
of marriageable daughter*.
By Abe aid of a barber, a few Turkiih
bathe and a tailor, Wit Ohew waa changed
from the rough, evil-looking man of tbe
oavee to a very importable, fine-looking
derly gentleman.
In tbia Improved condition be returned to
hia old home in the eaat, where 80 yean be-
fore be bad left a sweetheart, to whom be
had vowed he would aoon return and make
her bla wife. Thu beautiful girl wlabed
eight yeara for Wit Chew to return. Dur-
ing the laat three yean she had not received
a word from her neglectful lover.
Giving him up for dead she married
roaperoua merchant. Her husband died
uring the war. 8he died in 1867 leaving
an only child, a beautiful daughter. Oo
the old miner's return he found the mother
dead, but In her stead this beautiful daugh-
ter, her exact image.
His love for tbe child knew no bounds.
He could scarcely realize that she waa not
bis old sweetheart of thirty yaan ago.
By his devotion and his attention (possibly
aided by bis gold), he soon distanced all ri-
vals, and Imogene Middleton became lmo-
gene chew
Never waa man happier than tbe old
miner with hia girl bride. Tnough he was
warned by his physician that ahe waa going
into “a decline,” and could not live long, h»
refused to believe it, and added to her hap-
piness by laying in her lap tbe wealth of
millions.
She grew fearfully and rapidly worse.
Many of tbe leading physicians of this coun
try and Europe were consulted. Not two
agreed as to her trouble. "A heart difficul-
ty'” said one with a grave look. “A com-
plication of difficulties involving the heart
and spleen,” said a second, while a third di-
agnosed the case as "a complicated and pe-
culiar condition of lung trouble.”
In September of 1888, Wit Chew and his
dying wife visited Boston, to consult, as
last resort, a noted specialist of the Hub,
The physician was absent for three weeks,
and the disappointed couple returned to
their Denver home. The middle of the fol-
lowing month new symptoms developed,
and after a consultation of physicians, Wit
Chew was advised that bis

as dying. “She may live a day or two,”
said the elder physician, “but she cannot
last long.”
Then it was that Wit Chew sent to Dr. R'
C. Flower, of Boston, who was then at the
Palmer House, Chicago, on a professional
visit, the following telegram:
“My wife it dying?. Doctors have given
her up. Come quiok, coma quiokl For
I’- save herl Spare no expense,
k!”
God’s sake
Answer quick!1
Dr. Flower answered:
“I come. Your wife will not die till I ar-
rive.” In thirty minutes be was in his pri-
vate car. drawn by a special engine, track
cleared and flying at the rate of 40
hour.
It was a

The doctor refnsed to talk to anyone on
the way, and apparently was keeping his
mind an the dying woman.
Ha reached Denver at 12:06 noon. Was
met at the depot by Wit Chew, who between
sobs said, “I’m glad to see you, but you are
too late; Imogene is dying. She is uncon-
scious.” >
“Let ns hasten to the house," said the doc-
tor. He found bis patient propped up in
bed, gasping for breath, two nurses fanning
her, cold up to her knees, and in a half un-
conscious state.
Is less than a minute Dr. Flower said,
“I discover a groat accumulation of mat-
ter, of pus, which is drowniug out the lung

He realized that the woman wax nearl
<one. In less time than it takes to write i
his instruments were brought into play. H
made a deep incision; the heavy pus matter
poured forth until nearly two pints had dis-
charged. In twenty minutes the patient
was comfortable, conscious, and free from
labored breathing. In 40 minutes she ato a
light lunch. After inserting a drain tnbe,
giving directions to the nurses, he pronounc-
ed the woman out of danger, bade the fami-
ly good-bye, and in just one hour and fifty
minutes from the time his car stopped in tho
depot, he pulled out for Chicago over the
Burlington road.
Mrs. Chew improved rapidly, and in a
few months, under Dr. Flower's care through
correspondence, was entirely cured, and is
to this day a wonderful illustration of the
phenomenal skill of the most remarkable
phyaician of bis age.
Had Dr. Flower arrived an hour later
Mrs. Ohew would have been dead. Had he
not by his sesming supernatural power de-
;ted accurately her exact condition, his
coming would have been of no avail. I
state nothing new when I say Dr. R. O.
Flower, of Boston, can describe to any man,
woman or child the nature of their diseas-
es hotter than’ they can tell him, without
asking a question or being told a word. No
wonder he cures hia paitent when all others
fail, being able to clearly detect the exact
condition of any one, he ia not likely to doc-
tor them for tbe wrong disease, I voice the
sentiment of the liberal medical world, of
tens of thousands of men and women cured
by this master mind, that in tho treatment
and cure of cancer, consumption, tumor,
heart, kidney and nerve diseases he has no
equal, and has never had in any age.
Hia cures of snch cases as the following
speak louder than words.
Mrs. J. E. Pettus, wife of tbe millionaire
ranchman of Galveston, Texaa, waa cured
by the doctor of a terrible blood trouble
and tumor, after being pronounoed incura-
ble by the best akill of the state.
Miss Minerva Lewis, a prominent society
and church woman of Gonzales. Texaa, was
cured of a moat aggravated and developed
case of oonaumption, when all other kinda
of treatment had failed her.
Mrs. 8. R. Curtis, Rusk, Texaa, waa cured
of bronchial, lung and heart troubles after
•he had gone into an advanced state of de-
cline, end bed been given up ea incurable.
Mre. E. H. Helling, of Galveeton, Texes,

moat malignant phases had extremely de-
veloped.
