exciting scene. The half-dress-

conches, screaming women and pro-
fame men, the surging crowd yelling
Itself boarse in an undistinguishable
babel Of sounds, the weird
and lurid flames cracking and
seething and roaring, the falling tim
bers, all enshrouded i'm the fall of
weight Illuminated alone by the de-
vouring elements In its
midst combined to create

From Texarkana drifted down to
DAILY SPRINGS.
All along the line friends counseled
me to pay the celebrated resort "A Wis t..
possessed an appetite as voracious as
a hyena an ostrich-like digestion and
the hardihood of Mexican burro,
yet resigning myself to their
advice, emigrated there to view
it with mine own eyes and not an
others" 10 say that the trip was de-

OF the cosiest, prettiest and most pleas

rustic retreat. They are certainly a
jolly set. AS L write
strains of sweetest music
come stealing over the night air and
merry couples join in the mystic
mazes OF the dance at the pavilion near
the hotel, which is Il popular place Of
nightly resort. There are many other
means of amusement to suit the diver
siiied tastes Of the conglomeratedc classes
of visitors. The shades of the tall and
stately trees within the enclosure
afford pleasant rambling and--ths

for Cupid's cooling and wooing. Dear
hunting does n t conclude with this,

wonders as the famed Irishman's flea.
Excellent fishing adds To the
sporting attractions of Dalby. The
large lakes near Sulphur, about
three or four miles distant, are just
grooming in their agony of an over
burdened population. The. spring,
which constitutes the principal attrac-
ton, bubbles up in IA little valley, near
small rivulet, of which it is the
source of supply. The water has u
peculiar reddish cast-a perfect simile
of pure bourbon. However, 1t is only
dangerous in appearance--in taste it is
rs harmless as new-made cider. This
quality of color may prove bonanza
to hen-pecked husbands who weuld in
dulge in the luxury off morning dram.
Just import some of this water for your
health and presto, the rest is as easy

thirty degrees. This water is very
cold and not at all distasteful, though
with q marked universal favor.
An accurate analysis has never
yet been made, though several physi-
clans have applied tests and discov-
cred iron, sulphur and magnesia. Its
health-giving qualities are ,,ttested by
these as well ms by hundreds whose
sufferings have here been alleviated.
Talking with several who have
thus experienced relief from
the grim and gaunt
ravages of disease, was almost temp
ted to believe that the miraculous
Pool of Siloamn had been trans
planted to Daily, and was not yet for
saken by its guardian angel, or else
that panacea for which Ponce de Leon
searched so unremittingly had
at last been revealed to those
who scott at his credulity. Some OF
the most remarkable cures ever known
have been effected here-discases baf-
fling the physicians skill and laugh
ing ut science, becoming perfectly
plable when brought under
the effects of this invigOr-
ating tonic of nature. These
cases are not numbered by the score,
but by the hundreds, and comprise
some of the most prominent people in
Texas. Among those indebted to
Daily for that most precious boon Of
health, are Col. O'Neil of Cass
county, Mrs. Maxey, the
mother of Texas able sena-
tor, Judge NFrost, Corsicana; Judge
Estes, Texarkana; A. NJ. Taylor mem
Der of the legislature from Red River
county; Dr. Steel of Lamar; DIR. Johns
of Red River; Governor Hubbard,
Tyler; and many more, whose names
complete would consume column

pecially adapted are indigestion, dys-
