DIR Oates Found.

The HERALD made mention several weeks
ago OF the sudden and mysterious disap-
pearance of DR.. Oates, of this
city, from his home in East
Dallas. He was married man
well connected and comfortably situated
which made his conduct unaccountable to
his friends. For time it was believed that
while in q state of mental abera-
ton he had taken his
own life and the bottoms
of the Trinity river were searched, but no
trace of him was found. Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. J.. L. Elliott, who is n
relative of his, received telegram
from Springfield, Missouri, DR.. Oates
former home, stating that he had arrived
there all tattered and torn and out of his
mind. 1t is supposed that he made
the entire trip afoot. as his clothes
and his general appearance indicated ii.
Mr.. Elliott left yesterday for Springfield to
bring him back home.

Last night TO full house Mr.. Chas. b.
Bishop and his troupe played the 8 Act
dramatization by Petroleum V. Nasty
Of Widow Bedott. From commence
ment to close the quaint character
of the Widow, rs delineated, kept the
audience in roar. In many
of the details there was refreshing yaria-
ton of sparkling humor. puns, bon-mots,
etc. Some of the scenes introduced last
season were considerably varied in the
present rendering, or substituted by others,
oil being improvements. Miss Creese
and Miss Elliston quite pleased
the audience with several little Salads,
duets, etc, while Master Chas. Rsnner is a
decided acquisition as Pettingill's boy. His
songs, representations and dances, added
much to the. variety Of the performance,
and to the enjoyment of those present A
brilliant future lies before him. Contrary
to all our ideas of Widow Bedott, as a
long, lean, lank woman, Mr.. Bishop, with
his immense, robust physique, and his pc
culiar adaptations, has invested the charac-
ter with perhaps livelier interest than
could have been done under the origi-
nal conception At any rate, he
has succeeded IN producing q
most enjoyable piece throughout.

JOCKEY CLUB RACES,


Rare Sport at the Track-A Fine Day,
The Winners and Losers Ts-day's
Programme.
The management of the fall meeting of
the Dallas Jockey Club guessed it exactly
the proper time to have the races. Yester-
day, December 9th, opening day, was every
thing for such an occasion that could be de-
sired. The weather was as pleasant as a
May morning or a maiden's smile. The
mercury stood at exactly the right point
in the thermometer, there was no
dust, nor mud nor disagreeable winds.
Everything in nature seemed to say, "Now
is the accepted time, now is the day of good
race sport. The activity in the streets
was sufficient to assure the management
that good many people would
be at the track in the afternoon
A good programme had been ar
ranged, bearing the names of many we'll
known runners and trotters, and when $50
arrived, the hour for the drum in the
judges stand to tap, the largest number of
people that has ever graced the grand stand
and occupied carriages and other vehicles

QUEER BREAD MATERIALS.

Earth bread is made from white earth
in Upper Lusatia, formerly part of Ger
many, but now under the rule of Prussia,
and the poor Of that region use this bread
in times of scarcity The earth is dug
from a hill where saltpeter was once man
ufactured. Wnen laid in the sun until
heated it cracks, and globules like meal
exude from it. 1t is supposed that the
saltpeter or soda in this earth gives it
lightness. Something similar to it is
found in Catalonia, and is also used for
bread. 1t is affirmed that IN. cases of ex-
treme need many have lived on this bread
for weeks without experiencing any injury.
Soft stones were ground and made into
bread in thelate famine in India, to prolong,
if possible, the lives of that stricken peo-
pie. Fish bread is still used in Iceland, Lap
land, Grim. Tartary, and other places far
North. The fish is first dried, then beaten
to fine powder and sometimes the inner
bark of some of the trees of that region is
mixed with it, and then wet and made into
bread and cakes. Moss bread is manu-
factured in Iceland from the reindeer moss,
which, toward the month of September,
becomes soft, tender and damp, with a
taste like wheat bran. This moss contains
large quantity of starch. and the Iceland
ers gather it in the latter part of the sum-
mer season, thoroughly dry it, then grind
it in'o meal and bread, gruels and pot
tages are made with it. The want of bet.
ter grain frequently compels the poor lee
landers TO bake kind of bread from the
seeds of the sand.reed, which, on tfeir
shores, are merely eaten by the birds OF
passage i Food and Health.
