Sheriff Hornsby, learning on Mon.
day the whereabouts of Mr.. Tooke
went down to San Antonio, where he
found him suffering both physical and
mental torture. Sheriff Hornsby took
him in charge and brought him
back to Austin, in order to give him
an opportunity to stralghten up one
or two matters which he had left in
decidedly unbasinesslike condi-
ton. Mr.. Tooke is very
penitent man, and seems to
appreciate fully that his conduct
during the past week is far from what
it should have been. He says he did not
know when his wife left San Antonio.
Tooke will make an effort to see her
and hopes, after other difficult
ties are overcome, to convince her of
his thorough reformation, and to per-
suade her to help him to begin the
battle of life over again. Who knows

We are pleased to notice that our
enterprising hardware merchant, Mr..
r. III. Gerhard, has resumed in the
general hardware and machinery bus
mess, at 403 East Pecan street. We
examined his new stock of goods, just
received, and must say it is very COM
plete, and 1t appears he has nearly
everything a person wants ID the
hardwase line.
The ID. NJ. Osborne q Co, new
Irvine Binder, for which Mr.. Gerhard
is agent, is the simplest and most COM
plete machine ever brought
TO this market, and is warranted never
to fail in binding it's bundle. Mr..
Garland tells us that he will sell them
$50 cheaper this year than ever before.
He also called our attention to the
latest improved Eldredge sewing ma
chine, for which he is southern agent,
and offers to retail at 1923 each, and we
must say it is beyond a doubt the
cheapest sewing machine ever offered
here before, as it Is fully
guaranteed to be eqnal to any
iirst-class machines or money re-
funded. We would advise every one
to be sure and call on Mr.. Gerhard at
403 East Pecan street, before buying,
as we are satisfied it will be saving
to all.

CAPT. L. E. EDWARDS STABBED SIX
TIMES IN THE BACK AND SIDE
BY 7. L. WREN.
Wren Placed Under Arrest,
and Edwards Resting
Easily.

At about $50 O'clock yesterday
evening, Capt l.. +. Edwards and Mr.
Il. l.. Wren, both well known land
agents, had mil understanding
at the rooms of the capital city
club over Child's shoe store
growing out of a previous
transaction. After some hot words
the two left the room. Subsequently
as Mr.. Wren was on the staircase de
scending from the balcony to the side
walk, the matter was resumed, result
ing in Mr.. Edwards assaulting Mr.
Wren. striking him twice in the
face.
The two men grappled, but were
quickly separated by Messrs. Fred
Carleton and II. III. Brnmby. When
the tussIe ended Capt, Edwards was
found to be

wounds, all in the left side and back
After a thorough examination the.
were pronounced by DIR. Burt, mot
dangerous, though painful" At last
reports Capt Edwards was resting elsy.
The wounds were inflicted with ii pen
knife, the blade of which was only Il
little over two inches in length, which.
fact doubtless saved Col. Edwards
life. Mr.. Wren was arrested at his
residence on Guadalupe street, by City
Marshal Grooms Lee, and placed un
der bond to await developments.
MIR. T. L. WREN
is a well-known land agent, and is also.
secretary of the Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows il.
Texas. He is known as a quiet, peace
able, non-aggressive man, and doubt
less would not have resorted t.
the use of even a pen-knife
had he not been at Il disadvantage by
virtue of being on the stairs.
CAPT. L. L. EDWARDS
is also prominent land agent, and j.,
the representative here of the Texas
Investment company, of Fort
Worth, having his office located
just at the head of the
tairs Immediately opposite where the
cutting scrape occurred.
Capt. Edwards is of a nervous
temperament, moves, thinks and
acts quickly. THE STATESMAN
knows nothing of the disagreement
bringing about the unfortunate affair
further than it was of a personal ma
ture and was the outgrowth of some
land transaction which had previous
ly occurred. The difficulty had nc
connection with the Capital City
Club further than of its mere
comm encement there. Both gentlemen
are memoirs of the club, and both are
prominent odd fellows, and this was
Mr.. Wren's first visit to the club room
After the difficulty the wildesI
reports were in circulation, al

Mr.. A. B. Allen thus relates, in one of
our contemporaries, the manner in
which he broke spirited horse: When
a young man, and breeding horses, |
found, on taking up nearly thorough
bred FLY to break to harness, that she
was very high spirited and nervous and
that, unless l was particularly careful,
she might take to kicking and rearing
during the process, with attempts to run
away. first bitted her we'll by letting
her walk around short time for several
days in succession, in a strong fenced
yard with ample dimensions. then
gradually accustomed her to the har-
ness, standing in the stable, letting her
first look at it piece by piece, and then
smell and rub her nose and head against
it; then placedit upon her and lead her
out and around the premises to look at
the different vehicles and touch them
with her nose. After a few days of
such exercise, 1 hitched her up to a
Sleigh-in the open road so nothing
quite a fast trOtting and very gentle
gelding. Some snow had fallen the
night before, and only few sleighs had
passed over it-just enough to show the
track. One man stood at her head TO
hold her, while another jumped into
the sleigh to drive. All ready, he
touched the geldIng with his whip, and
he instantly started at a rapid gait.
The FLY gave wild jump, and then
attempted to kick up behind, but her
mate in the harness moved so rapidly
that she had no time for such action
in fact had to gallop smartly to keep up
to the others rapid trot. After going a
couple of miles in this way she began
to tire little, when the driver Stacked
up the gelding to slower pace. and she
settled into square .trOt. Soon after
this he turned the sleigh and returned
home, gradually trOtting slower and
slower, till the last half mile, which
he finished in a walk. The pro-
fuse sweat caused from her first
rapid action had nearly dried up when
and put into the stable.
She was then blanketed, and when well
cooled, rubbed down. We used her with
this fast horse alone-it being necessary
because she herself had fast natural
gate-for over eight months before har-
Messing her single to sleigh, and sub
sequently to a light wagon or buggy,
and never had any trouble with her.
She retained her high spirit, and wanted
to move rapidly on the road, but was
always gentle, never offered to kick or
rear or run away in harness or under
the saddle. She rarely SHE'D, and then
only slightly, and proved one of the
safest and most serViceable road horses
| ever owned.

SOysETHENG FOR EVERY
BODY.

Several old subscribers of the
APPEAL have fled their objections
to the course pursued by this jour
nal in giving 50 much space to the
Sullivan performance. They think
it altogether out Of place that q
newspaper should give so much
attention to anything connected
with pugilism. Such people seem
to be y long way behind the age.
They forget that newspaper has
varied assortment Of patrons.
Some like what the others detest.
A newspaper is like q restaurant
and accommodates all classes of peo-
ple. A man would be considered
almost crazy who would gravely in
form his restaurant keeper that he
should no longer keep pigs feet on
his counter because he did not like
that kind of diet. A newspaper IT
run to crafty the tastes of any par
ticular class would soon cease to
exist because it would contain
nothing to crafty the wants OF sew
eral other classes equally numer-
Gus. If the APPEAL contained moth
ing but sermons and church gossip
it would please the religious class
and no one else. If it printed moth
ing but supreme court decisions
and court news the lawyers would
consi der it an organ after their own
heart, but there are not enough
lawyers in town to support it. II
the APPEAL were devoted so'ely to
the leather trade the shoemakers
would all patronize it, bat the sup
port of the shoemakers alone would
not pay for the white paper on
which the edition is printed. The
appearance here of Mr.. Sullivan,
the champion bruiser of the world
was of great interest to hundreds
of persons who read the APPEAL
and looked for full report as they
do of horse racing, wrestling
matches, etc. If Henry Irving or
Adelaide Patti were to appear at
the Opera House the lovers Of fine
acting and artistic singing would
expect full report, but the sport
ing fraternity would not care rap
for it. When the California sharp
shooters were here the APPEAL gave
a whole page to the match and
printed fac SMILES of the targets.
It gave satisfaction to large class
of people who we're interested in
such matters but there were also
numbers of persons who expressed
their opinion that it was simply
foolish nonsense to give SO much
Importance to such child s play as
target shooting. When these same
GROWERS leave town for few days
they come back and grabbing the
morning paper look over the per-
sonal paragraphs and are perfectly
content with the issue if they find
two line paragraph announcing
that they have been away for few
days and have just returned home.
This personal paragraph fills their
idea Of a paper All important
and unusual events are fully re-
ported in this journal, and that is
why the public look to the APPEAL
for everything. Everything IN the
range of current events from a
horse race to theological convoca-
ton, from a prize fight to a funeral
will be fully reported, SO long as
the public is interested in it and
want to know how the affair is con-
Quoted. This is what gives the
APPEAL its present circulation aud
the healthy look to its advertising
columns.

A MAGIC POWER
A Secret!Agene'aa W Ork.

We we're surprised the other day TO
learn that certain individuals In this city,
who had for many yesrs yielded TO what
was apparently an Inevitable fate, were
startled from their torpid condition Of
semi-stupidity, into asserting their right
to ''life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" These parties had been bound By
an influence ss powerful SIS it was incom-
prehensible. They knew not the cause,
yet they were victims to the result, They
were enchanted, but they could not die
Germ by what means they had been man
acled. They bad long sought deliver
ance in vain. Their appeals to science
and The knowledge contained IN books
we're equally unavailing. At last, relief
came. 1t was no. through any seton OF
the President, or Of Congress, for their
trouble was not of political character
Neither did the Governors message re-
lieve them, nor any setien OF the new
Legislature, for it was out of their power
and foreign TO their Jurisdiction. Yet
they were suddenly and effeetEaly re-
leased from the bondage they suffered
and placed on the equal scale Of human
happiness. What was their trou ble7''
is what cur readers will ask. They had
been rendered helpless by thst universai
eDemy-rheumstism. They hsd nos.
walked or sven moved without pain for
years, and on the strong recommeuda-
| tons of friends "who had been there
they tried Britannia, and were at once
relieved and radically cured. Britannia
is what did it. It acted like magic
power. This secret agent quietly eoureed
through their veins, removed tie cause
of the trouble, liberated the capti7ee
| from their doomed condition, and now
accomplishment Of such triumph, and
the acquisition of the knowledge, by
which they cen st any time resist the
encroschments of their common foe. We
could give the names OF the parties, bu
will wait future time.
