Off the HOnOrs.

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1S76,the
leading products of all the branches of the
Worlds industry were assembled at Philadel-
phia. To carry off prize in the face of that
tremendous competition was a task of no ordina-
ry difficulty. Inventions and preparations for
the alienation of pain and the cure of disease
were present in the greatest possible variety.
representing the skill and the profoundest study
of the age, and it may be of vital Importance to
you, personally, to know that the highest and
only medal given to rubber Porous plasters, was
awarded to the manufacturers of BENsON'S
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER, by the following
jury:
DIR. VIM ROTH, surgeon-general, Prussian
Army.
DC.
C. B. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH, NJ D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by tho
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testi-
mony, the medical profession, both in the United
States and in Europe, quickly threw aside the
old, slow-acting plasters they had been using,
and adopted Benson's in their regular practice.
That physians aud surgeons of the broadcast
regulations did this. distinctly proves the In
trinsic merit OF the article.
1t is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the
prejudices which retarded the progress and
modified the successes of his predecessors ofnot
more than twenty five years ago, He accepts
hints from all quarters aud indOrses and adopts
demonstrated healing agents wherever he finds
them.
The right of Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters
to stand at the head of all external applications
whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure of dis
ease is no longer questioned.

What Caused the Recent Panic in Texas

SAN ANTONIO, April IA telegram to
military headquarters from the colonel
commanding at Fort Clark conveys the fol-
lowing regarding the recent reports of
Indians depredating on the border: Major
Bernard has returned. He was at Lozier six
hours, and made a thorough investigation.
He also went to Meyers Spring and to
Langtry. An American captain with FIVE
soldiers came across the river at Langtry on
Thursday evening and reported that he had
been following the Indians in Mexico and
lost the trail. 1t is thought the Indians had
gone up the river on the Mexican side. All
other reports have grown out of that.

Street Fight Between Mayor Bennett and
Editor Kline.
Special the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, April IA fight occurred on
the street this evening between Mayor Ben
nett and Isaac Kline, editor of the Evening
Item. Bennett was defeated at the late Repub-
liean nominating election, at which he was
candidate for reelection, and has been feeling
very sore toward the reporters who were
all arrayed against him in the fight because
of his incivility to them in times past and
the stand he has taken in regard to questions
of the hour. Last night, in council, he ap-
pointed all the judges and inspectors for the
coming election from Democratic and anti
Rupe factions, leaving Mr.. Rupe, his
successful opponent without a political
friend on the board. In an editorial in
this evenings paper, Kline commented Sc
Yerely on Benefits conduct in naming
the inspectors and judges, duty that
custom has left to the members of Council
and said that it "looked more like the work
of a Democratic caucus than the inspiration
of man who claims to have assisted at the
birth of the Republican party, and to have
had charge of its swaddling Clothes" stigma
tizing this action as his dying kick. Bennett
met Kline on Main street tonight, and called
him a liar and They
at once came to blows and pounded each
other until separated by friends. General
Bennett, who is an Ex-Governor of Idaho,
and was an unsuccessful claimant for seat
in Congress from that Territory, stands five
feet nine inches high, while Kline is a very
diminutive but plucky man. When they
were pulled apart Bennett told Kline that he
would thrash him if he ever made another
attack on him through the Item, and Kline
replied that the next issue of his paper
would say harder things than have yet APP
peared
