Demolition of the Town of Red RiT er
Station

Demolition Of the Town of Red RiT er
Station
A special telegram to the Galveston
News, dated at Dallas on the 18th inst,
says:
Advices from Montague county, a Dor
der county northwest of Dallas, state
that on Friday night last a terrific hur-
ricane struck Red River Station, in that
county, and demolished every house in
the town. The roof of one house was
blown a distance of three miles across
Red river into the Indian Territory.
Loss about $4,000.
The Montague News extra gives the
following particulars
The hurricane struck Red River
Station just after, carrying with its fury
wagons and animals. Every house in
the town was completely destroyed.
Goods of every description and several
hundred dollars in money lost. Along
the stream there was not tree of any
magnitude left-nething but the willow
underground. Grass was torn up by the
roots, and vegetation of every descrip-
ton in the gardens stripped of its leaves.
Mr.. Newberry's house was partly
blown down. J. 81. ROwley's house all
gone, greatest portion of store across Red
river, goods all blown away and every
thing he possessed entirely destroyed.
J. H. Loves house, family grocery, hard
ware and tinware, completely destroyed.
The wind blew his wagon to pieces,
wrenching the iron axletrees off close to
the wheels, and carrying the wheels to a
distance of three hundred yards. The
wagon bed has not been found. Mrs
Vivian Bresheare, widow, is houseless
and penn:less. Pack & Shelton's saloon
and dwelling houses are entirely de.
strOyed the roof of the saloon has been
found thee miles on the opposite side OF
Red river.
The following are a portion of the
losses: Pack & Shelton, 81 800; A. H
Newberry, $4,000; J. S. Love, 81 800
Blaine, $500; Widow Hood, $500; An.
derson, $3.50; Pollard, $1,000; Fitz
gerald, $3.50; johnson, $500.
The above does not comprise more
than one-third of the losses. Many o.
the people are penniless and homeless
and they need help and actually want
money to buy food. Those able and will
ling to aid them can send donations t.

Station, Montague county, Texas.

convenient and pleasant, and your chill
dren will love it above all other places
they viii leave it with regret, think of it
with fondness, come back to it ioyfuIly,
seek their chief happiness around their
home freside.
Women and children need more than
meat, bread and raiment; more than
acres of corn and cetton spread out all
around them. Their love for the beauti-
full must be satisfied. Their tastes must
be cultivated; their sensibilities humored,
not shocked. To accomplish this good
end, home must be made lovely, con-
veniences multiplied, comforts provided,
and cheerfulness fostered, There must
be both sunshine and shade, luscious
fruit and fragrant flowers, as well as
corn and cotton. The mind and heart as
well as the fields must be cultivated
and then intelligence and contentment
will be the rule instead of the exception.
Stick to, improve and beautify your
homesteads, for with this good work
| comes cOntentment.

Catarrh is a common disease,-so common
that shutting, splitting, and blowing of the
nose, meet us on every turn on the street
Your foot slips in these nasty discharges on
the sidewalk and in the public conveyance !;
and its disagreeable odor, COMMUNICATING the
breath of the afflicted, renders them offensive
to their associates. There is the highest med
zeal authority for stating that with fully one
half if not twO-thirds, of those afflicted with
Consumption of the Lungs, the disease com
mences as Catarrh IN the nose or head, the
next step being to the throat and bronchial
tubes-lastly to the lungs. How important
then to give early and prompt attention to a
Catarrh! To cure this loathsOme disease cor
rect the system by using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which tones tUp, cleanses
the blood, and heals the diseased glands by a
specific influence upon them; and to assist,
use DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with Dr..
Pierces Nasal Douche. This is the emily way
to reach the upper and b ok cavities where
the discharge comes from. No danger from
this treatment, and it is pleasant to use. The
two medicines with instrument are sold by
dealers in medicines.

sheep in few years, and that cattle rails
ing and grazing and driving will be trans.
ferred to the northwest, to the Panhan-
die and the Staked Plains. But there is
room enough In the country for the rails
ing Of cattle and sheep sufficient to make
this one of the most prosperous countries
in the world. In the meantime, while
the herding and grazing of wild cattle
will be removed to the northwest, and
the southwest will be more devoted to
sheep and wool raising, the rearing Of
blooded horses and ShOrthorn cattle viii
be carried on at stock farms throughout
the country, in connection with suitable
farming.

Build Up a Homestead.

The feeling that you are settled and
fixed will induce you to work to improve
your farms, to plant orchards, to set out
shade trees, to inclOse pastures, to build
comfortable. outhouses, and each succes-
siye improvement is a bond to bind you
still closer 10 your homes. This will
bring contcntment in the family. Your
wives and daughters viii fall in love
with the country, your SONS viii love
home better than grog-shops, and prefer
farming To measuring tape or professional
loafing, and YOU will be happy in seeing
the contented and cheerful faces of your
families. Make your home beautiful,

A couple of days ago a squaw died cut

What One Can Go Through.

The Worcester Spy tells this ex-
traOrdinary story. A Taunton
man of 70: ty-six has had a check
cred career. He has been ship
wrecked once, narrowly escaped
baking in railroad accident, has
been run away with times innum-
cradle, was shot in the neck al
Gettysburg, had taste of the hor-
rors of Libby prison, fell overheard
from n whaler, and, before being
picked up, left two fingers in the
mouth of shark, was drafted
twice, had his right arm broken in
two places during the New York
riots, stood on a barrel with a hal
ter around his neck in an Alaba-
ma town at the outbreak of the re-
bellion, from sunrise to sunset; in
1868 was crushed under a falling
building during a California earth
quake and was without food or
drink for nearly fifty hours, and,
when homeward bound from the
mines of the White Pine region,
narrowly escaped lynching thro'
a mistake in person. Amid all, he
preserves his equanimity and re-
fuses to believe that luck is against
him.

Give the Girls q Chance.
[Aunt Janet


Don't leave the girls to learn ev-
erything after marriage for of
course every fond mother expects
that her darling will be loved by
some one, and in spite of the folly
and fashion of to-day many of our
girls do marry, and their latent
good sense developes, and they
make adm irable wives and moth
ers. But it is a rough and thorny
path, this learning to be house,
wife, companion, economist and
often sick nurse after marriage
Oh, that every rich girl knew how
to broil beefstake and make a
pan of biscuits as light as her own
heart could concoct an oyster
stew that would tempt the appe-
title of a convalescent how much
less hardship would it seem to
both husband and wife when in
the certain future Bridget" deci-
des to leave upon an hours notice.
How delightful to know that even
though you have host of SER
vants,your hands can best prepare
some dainty for sick husband or
child. 1t is so easy to learn it all.
l often think that young married
people lose great deal of happi-
ness in not only knowing, but not
doing, many little household du-
ties which they place within the
charge of uninterested servants.
