some of them are no bigger than good sized

when they were born. AS they clung to the

Everywhere during this ride we saw the

Tricks Of Indian Jurrlera.

Some of the tricks are performed by
every iuggler you meet; others again are
of such an astonishing nature, and Dor
der so nearly on the miraculous rs to be
beyond the capacity OF an ordinary per-
former. or this character are tho orange
tree trick and the burial trick. If, after
having witnessed these feats performed
in broad daylight, ono is of the opinion
that it was an optical delusion produced
BY the mesmeric power of the operator,
can only say that the ability to obtain
an absolute mastery over every faculty
Of the observer is no less astonishing
than would he the actual performance Of
an apparently impossible feat.
The most noticeable feature In the per-
Torrance Of the Indian jugglcr Is tho
entire absence Of any kind Of apparatus.
His scanty clothing affords no oppor-
tunity for concealmcnt, and every feat
is performed simply by manual dexteTity
or Is a delusion effected by mesmeric in
fiuences. The famous wizards Of Europe
and America were nothing without ap.
paratus, and a great deal Of the effect Of
their performances was due to their mag
nificent and costly paraphernalia. In.

ants were absolutely essential to the
success Of their delusfons. As an illustra,

NEARLY A MURDER.
Whatever the intent Of the arson il
failed but little Of costing the life Of
an ole and respected citizen. When the
fremen and small crowd reached the
spot the smoke was pouring from the
front which exhibited no evidences Of
life. The cry was raised that DR.. Ow-
ems was in the building and Mr.. A. w.
Gillett and two others rushed up the
stairs and into the front sleeping room,
which was filled with dense and suffo-
eating smoke. Cropping their way to
the front where the bed was, there, on
q cot, which was close to the bed, they
found the form Of the doctor stretched
out on the cot half dressed and in
state Of prostration from the shock,
and asphyxia from the smoke. They
carried him down stairs and across the
street, where he was laid on q mat.
tress and means taken by assiduous
friends to revive him, which we're sue.
cessful. His rescue from the building
was timely one and his escape from
death very narrow one, as few min
utes more in the smokeflled room would
have been fatal. As it was the shock
was severe strain, from which he had
not recovered this morning. He stat
ed to our reporter this morning his
recollection Of the fire. He had sat up
in his room till nearly IL O'Clock with
Capt. Jack Ish, an old friend Of twen-
ty years standing, they had lunched to-
gether, when the captain left for his
own sleeping room, and the doctor
went to bed and soon fell sound asleep.
He was awakened by something un-
usual and the smell Of smoke with
which the room was filed. He stag
gered to the door, stunned and dazed,
and returned to the bed, when he be-
gan to dress in haste, during which he
felt himself being suffocated, lost con-
seriousness and fell on the cot and
knew nothing more till he found him
self in the open air amid the noise and
confusion attending fire. His son,
Sam Owens, Jr, was away on jury,
tied up for the night. He was sent
for, was excused by Judge Williams
and came to attend on his father. It
makes it look more like an attempt on
the life of the father that the fire was
started on night when the sor was
away from the room. 1t is to be hop.
ed that DR.. Owens will suffer no inju.
ry from the shock. Two of the fro
men, while in the hall of the second
story, fell suffocated with smoke, but
managed to crawl to the stairs and
into the open air.

On Positive, Independent Grocers
and Manufacturing in
Waco:


Waco:
"Be lord Of thysef, II not of lands"
I was reminded of the foregoing quo
tation by lIstesing to q grocer give
his reason why he bought bill Of
baking powders on Saturday, Decem-
Der 8. nom Chicago drummer. He
said he bought them because the
drummer told him that he had sold
them to several other grocefs, giving
their names, residence, and pre-
sumo, their ancestors, previous con-
dltition, and soforth. II have never
bought q dollars worth Of goods In
my life because my neighbor had done
so. p. l.. Az
Toe many of those drummers do not
know whore truth ends and lying
commences. The grocer went to Joe
Thompson's on the 18th and asked
him II 1t was true that he had bought
bill 81 baking powders from that
Chicago house. He said no,-he had
too much sense. Now, while I am
not stupid enough to think, can,
c0erce any man to buy my goods, yet
In the name Of common sense IL there
any policy, sound judgement or JUS
tice In buying from strangers when
you can buy In Waco as good goods,

into city lots. T made q calculation
few days ago, and we have vacant
lots for exactly $4,000 people more
than we have, all laid out, planned
and mapped out waiting for custom

are te come from, unless we can offer
some inducement, either in the shane
of work first and business opportuni-
ties next. In the meantime let each
one of us give the matter some
thought, and see If we can not induce
some one to do something to make
Waco little larger and find employ
ment to these that live here first, and
more will very soon follow. In con-
clusion, patronize home industries, If
worthy, and let Chicago and St.Louis
work out their own destiny and think
more of what Waco can be made.
