the applicants for tho position are Judge c.

w. ii. Burkhardt, and Judge Teichmuiler, of
Lagrange. Besides these, w. p. Ballinger,
of Galveston, is urged by his friends, among
them Associate Justice Miller, of the supreme

arrested by Officer Slack last night on war
rant sworn out by his daughter charging him
with threats. He was locked up at the

attempted to outrage his own child. The
girl stated TO the reporter that the affair
occurred on Saturday night. Mary and her
father live on L street, near Eleventh

while he told her to go up stairs, and fol-
lowed her. ON arriving at her room he at

tected her. Her father followed aud at
tempted to do her bodily injury. About n
month ago he made another attempt 30 out
rage her. but she escaped. He had gotten
into her bed and told her that she must be
a wife as well as daughter to him. She
called for assistance, when he ran away.
He told her that if she told anyone he
would kill her. A girl named Lindsey, liv-
ing in the same house, was witness to tho

Edward Wilders Compound Extract
Of Wild Cherry is one Of the most val
liable of all the medicines before the
public as a curative agent in consump
ton, bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma, and
all the train of pulmonary diseases, in
Guiding water fever and pleurisy. The
value of the wild cherry bark has long
been known to physicians, and it has
gained remarkable renown amongst the
most distinguished medical men as a
wonderful tonic and sedative. 1t is
magical in its effects on debilitated
states of the stomach or general system
attended with irritation or nervous ex.
element. 1t allays all violent action
of the heart, and is the only medicine
which removes and cures the hectic fe,
yer of scrofula and consumption. Thi;
great and powerful medicine is presen
ted in its purest and most efficient form
in Edward Wilder's Compound Elk
tract, and has already created revolu
ton in the healing art by the numerous
successful cures resulting from its use

Don't Use Big Words.

Journal of Education.
In promulgating your esoterio cogl-
tations, or articulating your superficial
sentimentalities and amicable, philo-
sophical or psychological observations,
beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational communica.
tons possess a clarified conclseness, a
compacted comprehensibleness, coales-
cent consistency, and a cOncatenated
cOgency.
Eschew all conglomerations of fatu
lent garruliJ, jejune babblement and
asinine affections.
Let your extemporaneous descant
ings and unprecedented expatiation
have intelligibility and veracious vivac
ity without rhodomontade or thrasoni
cal bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabi
profundity, pompous prolixity, psitta
ceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity
and vaniloquent vapidity.
Shun double ententes, prurient j
costly, and pestiferous profanity, oil
scurant or apparent.
In other words, talk plainly, brief.
naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purel,
} Keep from "slang;" don't put on air
say what you mean; mean what yc
e say. And don't use big words.

Forces the shadow behind us and places
Brightness around us with warmth in

Flashes the freight, increasing the glory,
Beaming from bright eyes with warmth OF

Telling the trust and content the sweet

Lifting the shadows that over us roll
King, king, crown me the king,

Served with service no conquest coul,

A Sure Cure for Group.

says in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"For the benefit of those who do not
know how to cure the Group, have al
ways doctored my own childred when
they have the Group, aud | have had
over thirty cases and never lost one.
Immediately after the first symptoms,
take the child across your lap and
wrap in warm blanket, putting itsnug-
ly around the sufferer. Then have a
warm fire built, and sit as close to it as
possible. Next give double dose Of
castor oil; put then about a quart Of
strong vinegar in cofeepot and make
it boiling hot. Now open the lid anc
let the little patient inhale the steam
This will soon give relief No tim'
should be lost in commencing, and a
soon as the child is moist with sweo

Chickens in Cold Weather.

Breeders Journal.
When the fowls are compelled TO
roost in their own house, and have not
the warmth of cattle or other stock to
fall back on at night their home must
be built warm enough so that their
combs and feet will not freeze. Fowls
that are not comfortable and warm can
not lay eggs for their owners. Stove
heat is not needed to get eggs in winter
but warm sunshiny quarters with va
ried diet of warm mush and buckwheat
with copied up meat scraps are. A
feed of wheat screenings once day is
an agreeable change, and wheat is a
good food to produce eggs. Five cents
worth of cheap meat day will supply
thirty laying hens with all the meal
they want. The fowls should be sorted
and all the hens that are going to b.
kept through the next summer pu
with a good active strong constitutional
cock, and the other cockerels, pullet
and old fowls that are to be fatteneC
or sold put by themselves and fed lib
orally all they will eat and got rid o
as soon as possible. 1t will be foun'
profitable to pnt new cock, thor
, oughbred, with the flock every year

Training Vicious Horses.

A new and simple method Of train
ing vicious horses was exhibited at
West Philadelphia recently, and the
manner in which some of the widest
horses were subdued was astonishing.
The first trial was that of kicking or
"balkiug' mare, which, her owner said,
had allowed no rider on her back for a
period of at least five years. She be-
came tame in about as many minutes,
and allowed herself to be ridden about
without sign Of her former wildness.
The.means by which the result was
accomplished was a piece of light rope,
which was passed around the front jaw
of the mare Just above the upper teeth
crossed in her mouth, thence secured
back of her neck. Ii is claimed tha
no horse will kick or jump when thu
secured, and that a horse alter recelv
ing the treatment a few times vii
abandon his vicious ways forever. 4
very simple method was also shown b.
which kicking horse could be shod
1t consisted in connecting the animal
head and tail by means of a rope fast
ened to the tail and then to the bit an
then drawn tightly enough to iuclin
the animals head to one side. This,
is claimed, makes it absolutely imposs
BILE for horse to kick on the side c
the rope. At the same exhibition
horse which for years had to be boun
on the ground to be shod suffered tn
blacksmith 70 operosson him witho'
attempting to kick, @Rile secured
the manner described.
