neatb of Judge Good -.

A telegram was received by Colonel John
G. Mccoy. of this city, yesterday morning,
from Ell Paso, bringing the sad news OF
the death of Judge John J. Good, which
occurred in that city Sunday night at II
O'clock, Judge Good was native OF Co.
lumbus, Mississippi, and was born, in the
wear 1880. Arriving at manhood he re-
moved to this state and chose this city
ne his home, which was his perma-
nent residence up to the time OF

company that entered the service from THIS

of the 10th judicial district. Hewas elected

compelled to abandon active practice owing
to failing health. He was Mason OF hlgi
standing, and was at the time of his death
grand commander of Knights Templar OF
Texas, as we'll as an honored member OF the

ton, but returned. He made trip, to
west Texas and camped out, and for time
he seemed to rally, but it was only Tor a
while. He grew worse and determined to
try the climate of California, and was en-
route to that state when he was taken worse

sentstives Of the press, Payne, OF course,
though that he was badly

have the right 10 take the lands OF the
Indians by force, as his party were poor
whites" and sadly In need Of home. At
Fort Smith the prisoners will be tried for
violation Of the United States statutes and
treaties with the Indians in the territory.

ALL that is needed now to render GEN.
ERAL WoLsELEY an English hero OF the
first water is to whip some European army.
His laurels have been gained in warfare
with savages and semi-civilized soldiers SO
far. If the British could now meet and
conquer one of the famous modern German
or Russian armies their prestige and fame
would overshadow that of all Others
There is a very decided difference between
ancient and modern warfare, and Great
Britain has not had occasion to meet IN
battle a civilized power for long years. She
would probably be found equal to the
emergency, however-at least none OF the
European nations seem anyway anxious TO
antagonize her, except Russia. 1t may be
set down as pretty certain that the next
great contest will be between the British
and the Russians, and the prize fought Tor
will be Turkey and India. 1t will forever
decide whether Slav or Anglo-Saxon shall
civilize and control Asia.

The county commissioners court con-
vened in special session yesterday morning
for the purpose of signing the new county
bonds, which are to be placed on the
market to raise money to buy the toll
bridge. They were received Saturday.
They will not be disposed of for less than
their face value. The books and tax rolls
of the county assessor were ex-
amined and the following certificate
was ordered spread on the minutes:
State of Texas. County of Dallas:
This certifies that we have this day ex-
amined the books and tax rolls Of r. d.

further certify that said books and rolls

STEWART and WOLFE, the leaders OF
the Pennsylvania Independent republican
movement had the largest and most enthu-
siastic gathering to hear them in Philadel-
phia the other evening that has been seen
in that city for many years. The indica-
tons point to sweeping victory over the
CAMrRor influence this tall, and the Key
stone State will honor itselfin the fact. The
days of bossism are certainly numbered and
the country will breathe more freely and
move on more serenely when such men as
CAMERON, MALONE, KELLY and others are
kicked out Of public life altogether.

A terrible accident befell young man
named John Sample Sunday morning,
which has doubtless deprived him of his
eyesight for life, and it may result more
seriously than this. He came here few
weeks ago from Arkansas and hired to w.
S. Hickman, a dairyman, and Sunday
morning as he was removing a large pot
filled with boiling coffee from the stove he
stumbled and fell in such way that the
contents poured out over his face and
breast, it is thought, scalding
out both of his eyes. The flesh on his
face and breast was cooked, SO intensely
hot was the coffee. He was placed in a
wagon by Hickman and brought into the
city and turned over to City Physician
Newsom, vino admitted him to the city
hospital. He was resting comparatively
easy yesterday morning, and the city
physician is of the opinion that he will re-
cover.

BUTrERwoBTH, the Cincinnati blackguard
in congress who uttered on the floor OF the
house of representatives recently, and IN
the presence of ladies, words that the As
ISOLATED press would not print has been re-
nominated. 1t is cheering to hear that the
probabilities are that he will be badly
beaten. The national congress is no place
for plunderers like robson or foul
mouthed men like BUTTERwoRTH, and the
denomination of both of them shows how
little the republican party cares for decency
or honesty. In Washington the intellectual
culture and moral and social development
of the people of congressional district are
Judged of by the display of these qualities
in the representative from the district, and
the rule of measurement is in the main an
eminently correct one.

ATTENTION is directed to the notice TO
cotton men and others in this issue, and
made by A. OpPENHEIMER, president Mer-
chants Exchange. 1t is proposed that a
call board be established for the sale OF cot
ton in Dallas, whether on hand or to be de-
liyered. At regular hours SO many bales
will be put up for sale, as so many barrels
of pork or bushels of grain, and a large
number of bidders being present there Will
be established q uniformity of price which,
while it is great convenience to buyers is
of large protection to the farmer. by
unapimity of action in this mat e., rates
of freight, and other large facilities
can be secured TO bring cotton to this city
in quantities larger than ever before. BE-
sides this, advances will be made to planters
not yet ready to sbipto market. All large
cities now have these call-boards, fndlng
it impossible to do without them. They
naturally belong to city's development
and progress, and are the natural and nee
essary ontgrowth OF our increasing needs.

"If every mans internal care were writ

many would our pity share, whom we think
happy now" How well this applies TO the
dyspeptic none but he can ever. know.
Doomed to life filled with gloomy fore
boding, he is almost secluded from the va
ried pleasure of the world. Bed-ridden,
languid and inactive he seeks aid and re-
ceivcs none. 1t was for just such cases as this
that Swayne's Pills were made. They will
also, however, cure sick headache, liver and

of kindred evils.
