HENRIETTA, Texas, Jan. 27.-The
preliminary trial uf A. A. Steagel of
Clay county, charged with living in
adultery with his daughter, who died
after giving birth to child g few days
ago, came Of Yesterday. The evidence
against SteaRel shows that he had lived

five years, that he was the father
Of her babe. and that he killed the chlld

c1nes taken by his daughter, from which
Il was inferred that he poisoned her.
During the trial the crowd brought q
rope into the court room for the purpose
of lynching SteAgel. The crowd kept
quiet until after the trial. When the
officers started with the prisoner for Jail,
one of the crowd carried q rope with q
loop in one end, and as soon az
the defendant stepped out OF the Ecourt
room door On effort was made to lynch
him, but the rope OF the man caught, and
Stesgel seeing his intention ran to the
jail begging for entrance, which was
quickly given. The officers turned,
brsndishing pistols In the faces of the
mob, threatening to kill the first man
who pursued the prisoner. The crowd
finally dispersed, but public feeling is
SO intense that it is thought another
attempt at lynching will be made soon.

Got the Drop.

At one time in Panaca, when a mans wife
became stubborn and refused to obey him,
he would always manage to bring her to time
by threatening her with "Ill so down TO St.
George and get another wife" This threat
seldom failed TO bring the obstinate spouse
to time. But a short time has worked
a change. Last evening the man ordered
his wife to bring him something. The wife
declined, telling him 10 go get it himself
"What ?" exclaimed the sovereign Of the
domicilc, "you Instantly so bring me those
things, or I'll leave for ST.. George in the
morning and get another wife" 81 wish
you would, ' was the answer from the wife,
which dumlounded him, ''for can then
have you sent to prison aud get rid OF you,
then get another man" Panaca husbands
have ceased threatening forget other wives.
The women have the drop on them.

Everything Goes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver
gets out of order. Constipation, dyspepsia,
contamination of the blood, imperfect ASST
initiation, are certain to ensue. But it is easy
to prevent these consequences, and remove
their cause, by a course of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which stimulates the hillary or
gan and regulates its action. The direct re.
suit is a disappearance Of the pains beneath
the ribs and through the shoulder blade, the
nausea, headaches, yellowishness of the
skin, fured looks of the tongue, and sour
ordor Of the breath, which characterize liver
complaint. Sound digestion and a regular
habit Of body are blessings also secured by
the use of this celebrated restorative of
health. which imparts degree Of vigor to
the body whichis its best guarantee Of safety
from malaral cpidemics. Nerve weakness
and over-tension are relieved by it, and it
revives both appetite and sleep.

Cheap NOtOriety.

Senator Fair who is ever bankering after
cheap notoriety is now trying to induce his
swindled constituents to think that he has
placed the lever Of his influence under the
Administration and induced it to open the
Mint. Every man of sense in such matters
is well aware that the opening Of the insti-
tuition as an assay office closes it as Mint
forever. 1t is nothing more than an excuse
on the part of the Administration to close
down the works.
The Government charges S. to work on
gold or silver assays, while private assayers
do the work equally as well for So
Now under these circumstances who is 60
ing to pay Uucle Sam S. for assays that can
be produced at the Bullion 81 Exchange
Bank for two thirds less. No one is likely
to get any assays at the Mint under these
circumstances and in few months the order
will come to close down the place altogether,
on the grounds that it is not paying as an
assay office.
Inc HPpeHE oslleEes lll"t oSHd'ot an 10
in the plot to close the Mint in this city and
the organs which try TO blind the people Of
Nevada 10 the real facts OF the case ought
to be kicked out Of every subscribers house.
Far is doing nothing for the Mint beyond
an attempt to kill it, and this fact every
body knows perfectly well. Fair was always
an enemy of the Carson Mint and before he
was Senator used to ship tons of silver past
its doors At the time when the place was
closed for want OF bullion to work on.
Fair is the smartest and oilicst humbug
that ever fooled intelligent people. -Appeal.

A Hard Winter Predicted.

Stockmen are OF the unanimous opinion
that the coming Winter will be hard one
on stock. Last year there was an abund
ance Of white sage, which, as soon as the
froNs come. cattle delight to feed upon;
but now from all parts OF the country reports
are coming in that feed is getting short, and
there is scarcely any white sage. Places in
Smoky valley, where last year cattle ran all
Winter and became fat, are this Fall desti.
tute OF feed and cattle made to run on them
would die Of starvation. 1t is also predicted
that the Winter will be long and severe
one. Ranchrs should be awake to these facts
and make every preparation in their power

POOR JUDGMENT.

1t has been said that the Democratic party
habitually sits down on its brains. The truth
of this assertion was never more aptly il
luslrated than IN the ruthless manner in
which they slaughtered Mr.. W. X. Davis in
their late Convention Mr.. Davis although
a gentleman universally esteemed for his in.
tcgrity and affability, acknowledged also as
one of the ablest and most skll(ul of the
Democratic leaders Of this county, (if not
''the noblest Roman of them ALL must
needs be sacrificed upon the altar OF revenge
to satisfy the personal spite, OF whom 1t
is the boast Of civilized man that knowl
edge is power, that mind invariably triumphs
over matter. Did intelligence characterize
the action of the Democracy in Convention
assembled last Monday Did not that con
vention disregard the counsel Of their wlsest
leaders to gravity little Insignificant paltry,

an outsider that the action OF the Conyen.

classed with the widest freaks Of madmen
With the weakest ticket ever placed before
the voters of Lyon county, they deliberately
rejected the only man who could possibly
give them little strength, and thereby
doomed their whole ticket TO certain defeat
Now that both the tickets are before the
people, let each voter place them side by
side and compare the men for the several
Offices. Let them scan them closely and
point out where there is single nominee on
the Democratic ticket who does not find his
superior opposed to him on the Republican
ticket This is no idle suggestion You
may not personally know all the nominees
on both tickets but you will readily perceive
! truth Of the assertion in those who you do
know and may depend upon the remainder
Of the ticket being equally worthy.
With such a ticket in the field, the Re.
publicans can not fail to win. Voters should
remember the attitude of the Repub-
lican party on the silver question. We
do not say that the rank and file Of the
Democracy Is opposed to silver, but we do
say that Mr.. Clcvland and his Cabinet are,
and 10 vote the Democratic ticket is TO say
TO them that their policy of expressing the
vital industries OF this State is approved Of
by you. You do not approve of that policy

Come TO stay.

A Boston paper, in speaking lately
Of the number of new medical remedies
which are offered to the public every year,
called attention to the fact that the majority
of them have very short existence. Some
are never heard of after twelve months have
passed by; others are forgotten in the course
OF three or four years. while it is rare
thing to know Of any which retain their pop.
ularity longer than eight or ten years. When
there is an exception to tins rule, it may be
set down as a fact that the article possesses
some extraordinary merit to survive so many
changes. The most remarkable illustration
OF this is seen in St. Jacobs Oil Steadily
and surely it worked its way into public ia.
vor, receiving no help, except from its own
efficacy, and to-day there is hardly civil
lied country in which it is not hailed as a
conqueror of pain. Like Tennyson's brook,
men may come and men may 60, but ST.
Jacobs OIL goes on forever.

No independent Move Wanted.

Vague rumor5 arc aAoat in regard to the
starting of an Independent party in this
county. Should such move be made it
will simply be scheme by which the Demo.
Gratis will expec, to catch few votes. No
Independents, Mugwumps or Dolly Vardens
need apply 10 Republicans for favors this
Fall. There never was anything in boiling
a ticket and if it is done this time there will
be still less Of anything. As stated before
should such move be made in this county
1T will be made in the interests Of the Demo.
Gratis, therefore no Republican should allow
his name to be used in connection with such
a ticket, simply for little spite. The head
pusher of the Democracy in Dayton is so
disgruntlcd over his failure to have things
go his way, that anything would be accepta-
BILE to him that would beat one or two men
on our ticket. We say again to Republicans,

burglars Ser Fire 20 House After
RObbinE IT,

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, December A
special to the Epening Wisconsin from
Neenah, says: This morning at 3
o'clock two burglars entered the house
Of Il. M. Hulce, who lives just outside
the city. They chlorolormed him,
and proceeded to ransack the house,
but Mr.. Hulce awoke and had a bat
tie with them. In the struggle he
pulled the mask of one Of his assail-
ants and identified him as q tramp
who had hung around the house for
week past. Mr.. HulCe was alone in
the house. The burglars got about
$50 in money and afterwards set fire
to the house, burning it TO the
ground. Mr.. Hulce narrowly escaped
burning to death as he crawled out
and laid down in the snow, dazed
from the effects Of the chloroform.
His hands were badly frozen. He
laid in the snow about half an hour,
when he was picked up and carried to
a neighbours house. The house and
contents were worth $4,000 and were
insured. Mr.. Hulce is quite wealthy,
having been, up TO a short time ago,
a member OF the brick making firm OF
E. M. Hulce & Co. The burglars have
good start and probably will not be
captured.
