Go East via st, outs.

Now that Texas has direct rail commune
cation with the whole country, travellers
should remember that the pioneer lines of
the West afford the best and only routes
through the Indian Nation to st. Louis and
all principal cities in the Northern, Eastern
and Middle States. Passengers from Calves
ton, Houston, Austin, Waco, Bryan, Dallas,
Marshall, jefferson and all other cities ana
towns on the Houston and Texas railway, ana
its connecting rail and stage lines, are offered
the choice of two all rail routes to st, Louis.
At Denison, Texas, connection Is made with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, and
at vinita, in the Nation, a junction is formed
with the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, by
which all passengers are carried through
Southwest Missouri direct to ST. Louis with
out change of cars. Or, IL the passenger so
desires, he can, when purchasing his through
ticket, arrange to continue his journey
through vinita to st. Louis, by way of Soda
liza and the Missouri Pacific railroad. Both
of these roads being under one management,
equal facilities are offered in the matter of
palatial sleeping cars, elegant day coaches,
quick time and superior accommodations OF
every kind. The trains of these companies
arrive liz st. Louis in ample time to make
connection with all roads leading out of the
city. Particular Information with maps,
time tables, ETC., can be had at the various

WE learn from Mcssrs. Gay IL Leigh,
insurance agents, that the insurance
on Messrs. Grove a. Watts planning
mills, which were destroyed by fire in
this place on Thursday night last, has
been satisfactorily adjusted, so far as
the same can be done up to this date,
and, in few days, as soon as the
proofs of loss can be made, the same
will be fully adjusted. We regret that
a paragraph in our paper on Tuesday
morning was so worded as to leave the
impression on the minds of many that
there was disposition on the part of
the companies interested to evade or
delay payment. Such is not the fact,
and we take pleasure in so stating.

The individual may be said to court dis
ease who exposes himself TO the miasmatic
influences which give rise to clills and fever
and other malarious epidemics and erdem-
les, without prevl ously fortifying his system
against their insidious attacks by the use of
protective medicinal agent. The hardest
constitution is by no means proof against
such maladies, much less one naturally
weak or bilious, or the antagonistic power
of which is lessened by an irregular habit of
body. The inhabitants of the bottom lands
of the south, of the new clearngs of the west,
of suburban districts where sunlSen lots ex-
list, of every locality of the American conti-
nent, in fact where malaria is epidemic or
sporadic, declare that the only true antidote
to the masmatc virus that they have ever
used is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. There
seems to be something peculiarly resistant
ia this standard preventive and remedy to
nlllhurtful atmospheric influences.

lars.

Last night about ten O'Clock fire
was discovered in the rear of Messrs.
Il. p. Cowen & Co.'s sash and door es-
Enlistment on Elm street, and in Il
very few minutes the entire building
was developed in flames. The com
bustible character of the contents Of
the building rendered its destruction
but the work of u very few minutes,
although, constant stream of water
was conducted upon the flames by the
fire company, who were upon the spot
in about live minutes after the alarm
was first given.
From f. p. Cowen & Co.'s store the
flames spread to the adjoining franle
building occupied by Messrs. Hinckly
a. Dibrell, stove dealers and timers.
This building was also destroyed. Adj
joining this was Witwer's Studebaker
wagon house. This being of brick and
a brigade of firemen and citizens keep
ing the roof wet by pouring on buckets
of water, il was saved. A carpenter
shop on the west side of E. p. Cowen
q Co.'s was partly saved. The exact
loss could not be obtained, but will
probably reach twenty thousand dol
lars. The fire was doubtless the work
of an incendiary.
Messrs. e. p. Cowen g. Co. estimate
their stock at from $4,000 to $4,000,
having recently made additions to it.
They owned the building and are in
sured for So, 900.
Messrs. Hinckley & Dibrell occupied
the adjoining building, which was
owned by Joseph Harris, Esq. We
could not learn whether it was insured.
Messrs. Hinckley IL Dibrell deserve
the sympathy of the community, rs
they certainly have had a warm time,
having been burned out in the late fire
Oh Market and Elm streets.
The firemen, under their gallant
chief, Conner, deserve all credit for
their efforts to extinguish the flames.
Regardless of either fire or water they
stood nobly to their work, and soon
had two streams, one from the roof Of
Witwer's carriage establishment and
the other from Elm street, playing on
the building.
The cause of the fire at present is
unknown. One theory is the presence
of number of barrels of lime, which
were saturated with water flowing in
from the street. No one was in the
house when the fire was discovered.

A NIGHT OF REVELRY.
Our ChiyalTOus firemen mt Fields
Opera House.

The Dallas fire company gave a
complimentary ball at Fields opera
house, on Friday evening, which was
one of the most brilliant affairs of the
season. Dallas shone in the splendor
of lovely toilets, the charm of her beau-
tiful woman and the gallantry of her
princely sons. We also witnessed, in
the few brief moments that was ac-
corded us to view the Respondent
scene, several bewitching faces from
abroad, mingling in the dance.
Our noble firemen, in their hand
some uniform, gave added bright
ness to the occasion, passing through
the "poetry of motion" with their fair
partners in finished grace. Altogeth-
err the ball was ANGST charming one,
and it will be q delicious theme for
many a day to come.

strudlon by fire Of this splendid min
in yesterdays HERALD, since which
time we have gathered the following
additional particulars;
The fire was first discovered by the
foreman Of the mill, vino sleeps in the
Office, but when lac woke the whole
building was wrapped in flames. ln-
slant alarm was given and the fire.
men and engine were promptly upon
the spot, but too late to save anything.
1t is the opinion of the owners of the
mill that the fire was the work of an
incendiary. The machinery was val
ued at ST., 900 and the building ut $4,000.
Upon the whole there was an insur
and of $1,000. In addition to the above
loss there was also burned from $500
to $1,000 worth OF lumber ami stock,
the latter consisting of doors, sash and
flooring.
BY the destruction of this mill, fifty
men are thrown out of employment,
but by the LIST of December they will
all be at work again, as the ncver-say-

on Monday, to rebuild, and in four
weeks will have their building COM
