FROM JEFFERSON.
A Desperate Midnight Fight With A
Gang of Burglars

Special TO the Light.
JEFFERSON, Texas, March ga sys-
tematIc and we'll organized gang Of bur
glars have been operating here for the
last six months. Merchants have been
robbed of goods in manner to do credit
to the most skillful house breakers, leav-
Ing scarcely trace behind. This morn
ing at 3 o'clock Waterman Taylor dis D..
covering light in the store OF Rosen-
field, on Walnut street, aroused two men
who were sleeping in that part Of the
city and sent for the proprietors OF the
store. The thieves had gained an en-
trance through the upper story OF the
building, which was occupied by Frank
Perry as an office. On the arrival Of
Max Rosentield and Harry Rosenthal.
the owners Of the establishment, IL WAS
found that the burglars were still in the
store at work. but they very soon
discovered that they were de-
tected and ran down the stairs
leading from Perry's office. At the foot
Of the steps they met Roseniield and
Rosenthal and opened fire on them with
double barrel gun, which they had
stolen tIom the store, and loaded. ROssn-
field was nearest the scOundrels and
barely escaped with his lite, but large
portion of the load Of shot of the first
barrel struck Rosenthal in the face, in
fliCting severe, II not fatal, wounds. The
shot were what are known as squirrel
shot. After firing both barrels Of the
gun, the miscreants started TO run along
the sidewalk towards X. X. TOrrey's
store, and were fired on several times by
two men, whom Waterman Taylor had
summoned to aid him. Ii Is supposed
that one Of the robbers was wounded, as
he fell on the walk and made exclama-
tions as II he was hurt There were two
men engaged In the robbery, both max
ing their escape. They carried OFF the gun
but one ofthe men who left his hat and n
Colts revolver, by which 1t is hoped
they can be identified. On entering the
store this morning, it was discovered
that they had bundled up an assortment
Of goods OF all kinds, silks, laces, shoes,
etc, amounting to $500, and were in the
act OF hosting them through the hatch
way when discovered. Tie goods were
taken here and there over the stock and
without leaving any sign of the robber.
The merchants OF this city, many OF
whom have been sufferers from this gang
of thieves, are determined to ferret
the matter and place the ablest detec-
tives on the scent.

About That Inquest.

About II O'Clock this morning Anto-
Mo Rivas rushed into Justice Craw-
ford's Office and stated that a body had
been found in box in San Pedro creek.
A jury Of inquest was at once impan-
eled and proceeded to the place. The
box was opened. In lieu, however, OF
the body Of child being there, it was
discovered that II contained the decom-
posed remains OF q dog, wrapped in a
towel for q shroud. The jury returned
crsstiallen, and Justice Crawford is de-
batting whether he ought to charge the
county for the inquest or not. The ju-
rors want their fees.

An Insane Man.

An insane man named II. Singer was
arrested this morning on Houston street
by Officers WIlkin and Harris, of the
police force, in front of Messrs. Guen-
Their & Zadich's store. and conveyed to
the bat cave from whence he was trans
ferred to the county Jail. A writ Of
lunacy has been served upon him, and
he will be tried before Judge Wurzbach
this afternoon at 3 O'Clock. When ar
rested Singer wore handsome suit Of
clothes, a gold watch and chain and gold
sleeve buttons, but had very little
money. He was raving in very In
coherent style and attracted considers
BILE attention and pity from passers. 1t
has since been learned by City Marshal
Shardein that Singer is from Kyle,
whence he came this morning. He has
friends here who wish to remove him to
Kyle, and this will probably be done.

Push.

Says an e~xchange:-If there was more push
in the world there would be fewer hungry,
half-clothed, homeless, suffering children;
fewer broken-down, dissipated men and wo-
men; less need of lms-houses, houses of cor
rection and homes for the friendless. Push
means a lift for a %neighbor in trouble. Push
means a lift for yourself out of the slough of
dependency and shiftlessness, out oftrouble,
real and fancied. Push never hurts anybody.
The harder the push the better if it is given
in the right direction. Always push uphill
few people need a push down hill. Don't be
afraid of your muscles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don't be afraid of your
hands; they were meant for service. Don't
De afraid of what your companion may say
Don't be afraid of your conscience; it will
never reproach you for a good deed-but push
with all your heart, might and soul, whenever
you see anything or anybody that will be bet
ter for a good, long, strong, determined push
Push 1t is just the word for the grand, clea,
morning of life; it is just the word for strong
arms and young hearts; it is just the word
for a world that is full of work as this is. If
anybody is in trouble, and you see it, don't
stand back, push!

Selling

The Legislature passed a stringent law last
winter relative to the manner in which NOR
phine shall be kept and sold. The act makes
it unlawful for any person other than a whole
sale druggist or other dealer in drugs and
medicines to sell or offer for sale at whole
sale, or for any person other than a registered
pharmacist or a registered assistant pharma-
cist, to sell or offer for sale at retail, morphine
or any of its salts in this State, and it shall
not be lawful for such persons to sell or offer
for sale morphine or any of its salts in any
bottle, vial or envelope or other package, un-
less the same shall be wrapped in a scarlet
paper or envelope, and all bottles or walls used
for the purpose shall contain not more than
one drachm each, and shall have in addition
to the scarlet wrapper a scarlet label lettered
in white letters, and they must be upon both
vial and wrapper when walls are used, plainly
naming the contents of the bottle; and, fur
Their, that no person shall have the right to
change any preparation of morphine from its
original package to any other receptacle what
ever for the purpose of retailing,or dispensing
therefrom, but it must be retailed or dispens-
ed only from the original package, with scar
let wrapper and scarlet label. Any one vio-
lating the provisions of the law shall be gull
ty of a misden,eanor, and On conviction there
of shall be fined not less than $40 nor more
than $50, at the discretion of the Court, for
each and every violation of the law. The &C

Superior to Anything.

A prominent business man in Wilmington,
Del, in speaking of a cure of cancer on him
self, writes to the Morning News of that city !;
l can say further that my case is not an
isolated one. A lady, a customer of mine, was
suffering from a cancer affection OF the nose.
She had spent a great deal of money and time
running to Philadelphia to consult the best
physicians there, but could get but little or
no relief. About a year ago / told her of my
case, and induced her to try the s. s. s. rem
edy. She did so, and in a few weeks was
much better. She had several operations per-
formed, and was disposed to hold on to her
old treatment as well as the new, but finally
she threw all aside but the 8. s. s., and in
two months from that time she was thorough
ly cured. -.
Another lady suffering from an abscess on
her arm had been doctoring for a long time in
this city, Chester and Philadelphia, but could
not get any relief, apparently. She had fall
en- away to a mere shadow of her former self,
and could scarcely eat or sleep. She COM
menced to take the S. S. S. medicine, upon
the advice of friends and myself, but was SO
reduced in flesh that she had a little stomach
trouble at first. She persisted, however, and
after the third bottle she declared it had done
her more good than anything else she had
ever tried. 1 now understand that she is en-
tirely we'll, and is loud in her praise of s. S. s.
I have several other cases in mind, but am
not at liberty to speak of them. l believe the
| Swift Specific Co.'s blood medicine known as
S. s. S. is superior to anything of the kind
known in the market, and can cheerfully rec
ommend it to any one suffering from diseases
of the skin or blood.

know how much Jones "boodle'' they have
left.-Register.
l will inform the writer of the above
squib, that as far as myself and T. ].
Bunch are concerned, our ''boodle'' was
90; and to prove the fact, 1 will bring
Mr.. Jones before any Magistrate in this
county to be qualified to the same. What
l did for Jones was strictly upon princi-
pie, and you can just charge me up with
reducing Peters majority ten votes, and
don't you forget it." l got them with

should I not be, when knowing that
about one hundred Republicans of Wash
ington township voted for Jones, and
that l personally know many of them to
be among the best men OF the county.
Don't think the result of that contest was
any surprise to me. I told Mr.. Jones in
the presence of Dora Acton and John
Smith, that the saloons were going to
defeat him. They did it, and no one
dare deny il. I hope the above will
show how much s'boodle'' we have left,
and when Mr.. Jones comes out to be
qualified, just bring Peters along and
lave him qualify too how much Doodle
he invested in three Democrats of Gratis

We would urge upon every reader the
Importance of buying a home somewhere.
Buy a tract of land and own it, ever if it
is small, with the determination ofkeep-
ing it. The money you are paying in
rents will soon pay for a piece of land.
You can surround yourself with those
beauties only to be found upon the farm.
To be the owner of a nice little home is
one .of the greatest earthly blessings a
man can enjoy. You should think of
this and neglect the matter no longer.

There is eonsiderable complaint among
parents of children attending our schools,
because Of a rule not permitting them to
enter the school buildings until a certain
minute in the morning and at on
Many small children residing at a dis
lance, in their anxiety to be there, start
early for school and arrive fifteen or
twenty minutes before the time set for
their admission into the rooms, and con
~sequently are compelled to remain out of
doors until the time, exposed to the
weather, no difference how unpleasant
or inclement it may be. From the rig
orous enforcement of this foolish rule,
often children who left home and the
anxious care of their mothers in the
morning, with the bloom of health flush
ing their cheeks, returned ct noon with
them blanched from the fatal seeds of
diphtheria or scarlet fever, the result of
imprudent exposure. We do not know
whether the school board, superintend-
ent or teachers introduced the rule allu-
ded to, but no difference, it is all wrong.
Open the doors of the school buildings
during the winter season, and pass the
children in out of the cold and wintry
blasts as they arrive. That is the SEN
timent OF every parent and sensible per-
son.

bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10
years standing" Abraham Hare, druggist,

medicine 1 nave ever handled in my 20 years
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thousands
of others nave added their testimony, so that
the verdict is unanimous that Electric, Bit
