CALLING THE ANGELS IN.

We mean 10 do Il. Some day. some day,
We mean 10 slaoken this fevered rush
That Is wearing our weary souls awuy;
And grant TO our loaded hearts hush
That Is only enough TO let them hear
The footsteps Of angels drawing near.
We mean TO do Il. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden Of daytime broil Is DER,
Wen sit and muse while tho stars come out,
As tho patriarchs sat at the open door
OF their tents, with heavenward- gazing oyc,
To watch for the angels passing by.
We've seon them afar at high noontide.
When fercely the worlds hot flashing boati
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry while in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them TO hallow the cheer we
spread,
To drink Of our wine and break our broad.
We promise our hearts that when the stress
or the life-work reaches the longod-for
close,
When the weight that we groan with him
ders le's,
Well loosen our thoughts to such repose
As banifhes cares disturbing din,
And then-well cal the angels in.
The day that wo dreamed of comes at
length,
When, tired of every mocklng quest,
And broken of spirit and shorn OF strength,
We drop, indeed, at tho door OF rest,
And wait and watch as the dny wnnes on
But the angels We meant to call are gone

to withhold the amount in the first

Judge Terrell in his speech at
Goldthwaite last week, condemned
the action of the State Democratic
Convention in reading out of the
party all Alliance men and Knights
of Labor, and said that such a course
would cut the party in two long
WAYS from the middle. Correct,
Judge; and from expressions we
have heard from the farming element
in this section it looks as though the
knife had begun its work, and to stop
this dividing process will require q
reversal of the action of the Demo
cratic party.-Brownwood Bulletin.

Chief Geronimo.

In Wow of tho capture OF this noted war.
rior, and the fact that he and number OF
his associates are now under guard at Gov
ernment headquarters at San Antonio, the
following account rs to the comments on
tho capture at Washington will be road with
interest. We copy from tho New York
Sun:
"There has not been suoh warrior as
Geronimo since the days of Bob Roy" said
Indian Commissioner Atkins to-day. "He
has subsistcd ON tho roots of the desert and
the serpents of the mountains for nearly
two years. He has been his own commits
sary and chief of transportation; he has
worn out an army, and has kept vast re-
gion of country IN terror. Part of the time
he has been wounded and sick. His bar
barous heroism and endurance are unBur-
passed by anything in history.
"There are o good many points about
this wonderful campaign that the public at
large are not familiar with. The revolt
that has Just been brought to a close by
this capture was started by woman, the
wife of Chief Mangus. She is woman of
great force of character, and strikingly in
tellectual for squaw. She planned the
escape and urged the band to desperate
deeds. She was the joan OF Arc of the
Apache race. The escape of Geronimo
from Fort Apache took place on May II,
1885. With him he took thirty-fou bucks,
eight boys, and ninety-one women. They
travelled 120 miles before camping. and
their pursuers were hot upon their tracks,
but they didn't get in sight of the Indians.
For hundreds of miles this chase was kept
up until Geronimo was in the fastness Of
the mountains. Finally after desperate
campaign he was captured by Gen. Crook,
but was only held one night, when he es-
capped again. A few days after this escape
he returned into the fort with four bucks,
and, seizing white woman, told her that
II she did not tell him where his wife's tent
was he would kill her. The woman pointed
out the squaw's tent. Geronimo took his
wife and was again at large, having acccmp-
lshed one of the most daring and heroic
deeds ever recorded. Now that he is cap
tured after such a desperate chase he will
undoubtedly be hurried east with oil possi-
BILE haste. Con. Miles will take good care
that he does not again escape. II would be
q reflection upon the General that he will
take good care not to have occur il this
desperado should again get at large"

week past, of 3600 bottles of beer which
had been seized the first of the week from

last great CONSERVATION was produced on
the fair grounds by the appearance on the
counters of The largest stand on tho ground
of beer in large quantities, being dealt out
to imm ense crowds of visitors from Missou-

the parties at the stard and confscated the
entire stock on hand. ovor which he kept

set six men to work drawing tho corks from
the bottles and pouring the liquor out into

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent, }

(Erom Our noBular OOIrcbponucht'|
WASHINGTON, u. G., Sept. 10, 'S6.
The Treasury department is de-
stroylng all the one and two dollar
treasury notes that come in. They
will be redeemed only in notes OF
larger denomination or silver dollars
until the low denomination silver GER
tificates are ready to be issued. The
department is very anxious to get the
one and two dollars silver certificates
out as soon as possible, rs the demand
is very large, and it is expected that
thirty or forty million dollars of sill
yer will be put in circulation through
this medium. 1t is felt that some
thing is lost by every days delay in
getting them out, but it will be i'm
possible to get the engraving and
printing done 80 as to issue them be-
fore next month. BY the policy OF
withholding one dollar TREASURY notes
from circulation an immense number
of silver dollars have been issued,
but the demand for q convenient
small note is 80 great that there will
be call for almost as many as they
will print.
It is believed at the War Depart
ment that the capture Of Geronimo
has practically put an end to Indian
hostilities in this country. At pres
ent, at least, there is no active hos
tility throughout tho broad wild
west. An army officer, talking with
your correspondent yesterday, said
that it depended upon the conduct
Of the whites, and how the Indians
were treated by the agents on the
agencies, whether there would be
any further trouble. III the Indians
we're treated properly they would
probably all remain quiet The cap
ture of Geronimo clears Arizona Of
hostiles. The Indians most liable
10 give trouble now arc the Uncom-
pahgres, in tho mountains Of COlora-
do, and those in the wilds of WASH
ington Territory. These arc not
particularly savage, but they are in
regions where it is easy for them TO
hide away, and they are liable 10
plunder. One trouble, he says, is
that the whites are too aggressive.
They try TO take advantage OF the
Indians and to bully them.

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have q
vast influence through the digestive organs
upon tho measure OF health we enjoy. How
important TO our present happiness and
future usefulness the blessing Of good
health and q sound constitution are, wo can
only realize when wo have lost thom, and
when Il Ia too late to repair tho damage.
Aud yet, Notwithstanding these facts, thous-
ands of persons daily jeopardizo not only
their health, but their lives, and the healths
and lives OF others, by using articles In tho
preparation of their food tho purity and
hoaithfulness of which they know nothing.
Perhaps O few cents may have been saved.
or II may have been more convenient to OBJ
tain the articles used, and tho houskoeper
takes tho responsibility and possibly will
ncvor know the mischief that has been
wrought. Paterfaniilias may have spells
of headache, Johnny may havo lost his APP
petite, Susie may look palo; If 80, the true
cause Is rarely suspected. Tho weather.
the lack of outdoor air, or some other cause,
IL given, aud the unwholesome, poisonous
system of adulterated food goes on. Next
to the -four, which should be made Of good,
sound wheat and not ground too fine, the
yeast or baking powder, which furnishes
the rising properties, is Of the greatest i'm
portance, and of the two we prefer baking
powder, and always use the Royal. rs we
thereby retain the original properties OF
the wheat; no fermentation taking place.
The action of the Royal Baking Powder
upon tho dough is simply to swell it and
form little cells through every part. These
cells are filed with carbonio acid gas, which
passes of during the process Of baking.
The Roynl is made from puro grape acid,
and il is the action of this aoid upon highly
carbonized bicarbonato Of soda that genor-
ates the gas alluded to; and these ingredi-
ents are so pure and 80 perfectly fitted
tested and adapted to each other that the
action IL mild and permanent, and is con-
tinuei during the whole time Of baking
and no residue of poisonous Ingredients re-
mains to undermine the health, no heavy
biscuits, no sour bread, but II directions
are followed, every article prepared with
the Royal Baking Powder will be found
sweet and wholesome.

of IA. Sho was almost as prolific a
story writer as Mrs. Southworth, and
had been in the field about fifty
years.
