proprietors of DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy for
any case of catarrh they cannot cure, yet not
withstanding that thousands use the Remedy
they are seldom called upon TO pay the reward
and when they have been so called upon they
have universally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked complica-

Remedy without receiving perfect and 9,er-

ssFeII Through a Trap.,,

Judge William Carter, of Sheboygan,
and Judge Caswell Marks. of Selma,
were both natives of Lexington, Ky. In
boyhood they had jammcd the same cats
head into the same milk pitcher, stolen
peaches from the same tree got trounced
by the same farmers, were otherwise en-
v'ously intimate friends, afterward
chums at college and then errand boys
in the same office. Later in life they
parted and rose to sublime honors in
their separate places. Last January they
met for the first time since their parting,
in Lexington, and brewed convivial
bowl in honor of the event. About mid
night, full of affection and enthusiasm,
they retired in the same bed It was
huge affair, standing in the middle
of the room, and capable of being
drawn up by ropes to the
ceiling while the room was being cleaned.
1t was q very cold night and they placed
their clothing upon the foot of the bed.
just after they fell asleep, four friends
entered softly, drew the bed by the ropes
nearly to the ceiling. and left them thus
suspended about ten feet from the floor.
They then locked the door outside and
retired
At 3 A. NJ. Judge Carter woke with
that species of thirst which usually comes
after Kentucky punch and technically
known as ''hot coII.ers. . Leaping
lightly out of bed to get the ice pitcher,
he went down ten feet, alighting with q
soul-stirring thump on all fours.
There was long and painful pause.
Then he peered upward tnrouga the dark
hess and called:
.sCaswelli'
No reply.
.sOh Caswell"
Feeble cries.

"Ehs-umg whata" The Judge was
awakening.

the now affrighted Judge; get up and

alright. And Judge Marks, spring
ING out on his own side. turned three
somersaults and landed on the small of
his back. Both were now convinced
.hat they had fallen into den OF thieves,
and were possibly to be murdered. The
iokers had closed the heavy wooden shut
tiers, so no light could enter, and re-
moved all the furniture. The JUDGES
groped around ON hands and knees,
nearly frozen to death, and only at day
break discovered the bed, climbed into
it. and got warm enough to talk the
thing over.
There were recently two temperance
societies started under glorious auspices.
The headquarters OF one is at selma the
other at Sheboygan.

This is a rich and beautiful country.
The prairies are covered with fine
grass and beautiful flowers of many

some 40 or so miles west of Trinity

Our section is mostly prairie with sew

of Irene is mostly black, waxy soil,
and in wet weather it sticks, yes,
sticks almost like tar, but for all this
it is the most pleasant country out

unbroken land becomes very hard,
and as It natural consequence we have
no dust. 1t takes this land but little

black land than any other land we
have. We have plenty water i'll this
part of the country; plenty of timber
for fence posts and fuel, but lumber
is shipped to these parts from the
east and can be bought at reasonable
figures. Corn looks fine considering

THE MAI-fESr.

Tho fifth annual Mai-Fest to bs given by
the German societies OF thio city next
week promises to prove "a most delightful
reunion, and In every way worthy OF those
traditions OF Vaderland to which the Ger
man people. In whatever cline they may
be found, are ever so fondly and warmly
attached. II Is pleasant TO note that with
the growth q the German community IN
our maids, there Is an an increasing inter-
est IN these national festivals wherever
they. are celebrated, and 1t Is
good omen for the future
ihat the coming fest" has assumed pro.
portions far greater thsn was at hrst an
ticip0ted, as 10 evidenced by the numerous
oliersof cooperation and assistance made
from all sides to those having charge of.the
affair its success is u matter CT direct in
teres. also, 10 the entire community. In
Galveston and Houston the annual tests Of
tho German societies have proven ooca'
pions. which bling together numerous yisi
tore, many even coming from without the
state TO participate In the festiyltiea OF
th IT counlrymen. The result Is decidedly
beneficial 10 these cities. While such 70
unions, wherever held, have our wormeBi
sympathy, IL should DO remembered thai
Incidentally they have their practical aide
whose bearing should not DO overlooked.
Apart from tha fact that they bring large
numbers OF visitors TO the plaza where they
ara held, they always prove a splendid ed
vertisement subsequently,. The local
papors containing reports OF the festivities
are scattered broadcast over the lgud many
copies even finding their way to Gsrmsuy.
In this manner The tests contribute di.oc.ly
to the permanent growth and prosperity OF
the city in which they ara given.
To IA Ia Dallas, then, It 10 q matter OF
congratulation that the coming Mei.Fest
prom .ses TO eclipse any festival Of the kind
ha in this city. Oar citizens, native as
well as foreign born, should not be back
ward In doing all in their power TO aid ssch
an enterprise. They are not asked for
pecuniary assistance, bu, only for their
moral support and to size this cannot but
prove in the end q paying Investment. II
il accordingly suggested, as tho best melhod
of showing our goodwill and giving such
support, that our merchants clone iheil
stores during the morning Of Monday
the 18th, to allow their EN-
ployes. many of whom are Germans
TO take half holiday aud attend the fest.
Such course would be On exceedingly
graceful act OF courtesy to our German cit
izsns, and would have the happiest results
Financially and commercially these Ger
mao citizens form most desirable part o
the community, and 1t is TO be hoped tina
o lr merchants will not hesitate to pay thi
slight tribute 10 them 10 thus aiding On en-
terpriso which is for the interest Of all
1t should BIZ borne in mind, too, that tn
feat this year is only beginning. Itseuc
cess will be followed by larger festival
in coming years with increased facilities TO
promoting the prosperity and growth o
our city. The Msi.Fest will prove
splendid annual advertisement for Dallas
