4 Remarkable Man,

Most any one would be struck with
wonderment on seeing DR.. Il. j. Ham,
mer for the first time. He weighs a.
most lC0 pounds, and TO sit in COM
fort requires two large Office chairs. II
is rem arkable for man of his ply ST.
cal proportions t. possess such cheer
full, boy-like mood, combined with a
deep and impressive countenance, but
it is far more remarkable that he is the
only man known to the medical world
who permanently cures drunkenness.
The past fifteen years he has spent
most of his time in New Orleans and
Galveston, visiting Dallas once or
twice year. He is now stopping at
the st. James Hotel, and will remain
for short time. DR.. Hammer has
cured hundreds of the worst cases of
drunkenness in North Texas, several
of which, unparrclled cases of long
standing, came before the reporters
personal observation. have seen
men in the last stages Of inebration,
utterly beyond self redemption, com
mence taking treatment and after ten
or fifteen days leave for their homes
perfect pictures of healt. / have
since, in travelling over the State more
than year later, seen the same men
enjoying life in its fullest measure,
and with no desire whatever for
liquor. This may seem somewhat
strange to some, but those who care to
investigate further are more than well
come to call and see the doctor while
in the city. The prominent business
and professional men of this city will
bear testimony to everything claimed
by DIR. Hammer.

Atrocious Double Murder.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Nov. 26.-Onc
Of the most terrible double tragedies
ever committed In Iowa occurred last
evening near the little village of Shuey-
willie, nine miles from thiJ city. Dur
ing the absence of farmer named
Vcrba and his family, his barn was
discovered 10 be on fire by Mrs Joseph
Noyotney and Mrs. John Louvar,
ncighbors of the Ncrbas. They arrived
on tho scene to find the barn and gfa-
nary consumed. and the bones OF Il
horse and forty-iivc head of cattle ana
hogs smoking in the ruins. fastening
to the house, which was also on fire,
they were met by u farm hand named
Martin Soukup, and when they at
tempted to enter he struck them both
down with an axe,
CRUSHING IN THEIR HEADS.
BY this time other ncighbors had ar
rived. and on effort was made to cap
turc Soukup, who fled up stairs. axe
in hand. and three, encd to kill any
who approached. Clay Bowerson, Ed
Thomas and viii Crowell, young men
of the ncighborhood, after severe
struggle mastered the murderer, and
he was taken to the Shueyville school
house. bound and guarded until to-
day, when fears of lynching induced
the officers to remove the prisoner to
Iowa City. Soukup is about 80 years
Of age and was former resident of
Shucyville. About four years ago he
was struck by lightning and has never
fully recovered from its effects. lie
was not considered dangerous except
ing when under the influence of liquor.
He was drunk when the crime was
committed. There was not the slight
est cause for the inccndiarism or muir
der. ms his relations with all the parties
had been pleasant. The two women
are still alive but cannot recover. Mrs
N0yotny is about 40 years of age and
mother of a large family. Mrs. Lou
var is ~, and mas two small children.
The Bohemian citizens threaten to
lynch Saloon-kceper Weber for selling

A Crazy Ncgro's Work.

LITTLE Rock, Oct. 26.-Ncws from
Van Buren, states that as the passenger
train entered that place yesterday
morning the conductor informed the
city marshal there was an insane negro
on the train. The marshal entered the
coach, and as he did so the negro
sprang on him, stabbing him through
the shoulder. The officer shot the negro
twice, but was knocked down in the
fray, losing his pistol, when the crazy
man began cutting and firing among
the passengers, wounding many. An
old man picked up the officers pistol
and blow the negro's brains out. 1t
was impossible to ascertain the num-
Der Of passengers wounded or the ex-
tent of their injuries, though some
were very seriously hurt.

Mrs. Bowers lives at Eagle Ford.
Yesterday she came into the city with
her little girl and stopped ut the
house of her brothcr-in-law. Some
time last night, after they had all
gone to bed, the little girl bcinga SOM
nambulist, got up in her sleep, went
out of the house and over to q neigh
bors, some 200 yards away, and
quietly went to bed with n little girl
in that household. Mrs. Bowers
waking up missed her child and be-
gan to hunt for her, but in vain The
police were notified and they searched
until this morning, when the little
one turned up all right, but Devil
dered us to where she was, or how
she got there, rs was the family
where she found herself Her re-
turn to her mother was a great relief
to her in her agony OF grief, for
she had imagined n thousand
things as to the fate Of her little
daughter. She didn't know but
what the awful circus had stolen her,
and was going to make Il slack rope
performer of her, to pull all her
clothes off, most balanced on one toe
on a slack wire, or to drive chariot
races, or to swing on the light ira
peze with either end up. But she is
all right now.

A Minister'S Escapadcs.

SHARON, Pa, Oct. 26.--Rcv. Mr..
Powell, Baptist minister of Orange
vile, tlvs miles west of this place, has
been giving that vicinity II very lurid
tint, TO the great modification of his
flock. After drinking large quantity
Of unadultcratcd alcohol he procured
two butcher. knives and proceeded to
make his wife and small daughter the
victims of a tragedy. Fortunately he,
in his maudlin condition, so openly
prolesscd his murderous intentions
that posse of citizens was on hand
just in time to stay Powcll's hand and
arrest him. Owing to his condition
and the loss he had already suffered by
disgrace the magistrate exercised
ccmency, and he was released on con-
dition that he would leave the town.
He did so, but in an absent-minded
manner took with him a horse and
buggy owned by his wife. Rev. Mr..
Powell is well known in st. Louis, and
had it not been for liquor would have
been a great church authority before
this. His wife feels heart-broken.
