SOME STARTLING FACTS.
Tho Discovery of the Cause Of Most On.
timely Deaths. that Come upon
the Com IN unity.

Phe official returns of the City of New York show
that nearly three-fourths Of all deaths are from
consumption. When We stop to calmly think over
this fact, it is really awful. And yet every case
cough in the morning; tickling in the throat :;
. thick phlegmy discharge: chilliness at night !;
hfheult breathing; hghtness across the chest !;
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres
ence OF that terrible disease which, unless checked
means certain death with long and painful suffer-
ing.
In view OF such serious and everpresent facts
the suggestions and advice OF the most eminent
physicians are Of the greatest value.
Dr.. John Gardner. one OF the most eminent ply
sicians in London, says: Science common sense,
Holy Scriptures and all experience Hastily to the
benefits derived from the Of pure whiskey.'
Dir. d. II. Barker says Z" | have used :,ld exam
ined Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky. and find it the
best over tried
Or. 8. III. Buckwalter says: "Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is without doubt the invalid drink when
stimulants are Indicated and find all chronic
cases require stimulants and large per cent Of
tho acute ones also"
These truths from the lips of the leading scientific
men Of the day, and confirmed by the experience
Of men and women we'll known in the community
shenld serve as a guide for all who feel the APP
prOach OF consumption no matter by what path it
may come We do not hesitate to assert that any
man or women who will use Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey according to directions can defy consump-
ton and prolong life with all its blessings.

The Fort Worth Gazette does not see
30 much absolute certainty in the demo-
cratic situation this year, as would lead
1t to ignore wise harmonization Of all
the democratic forces even In Texas. 1t
will not do, the Gazette thinks, to ig-
more even the prohibitionists, as witness
the following:
IF the Gazette is not misinformed the
year 1888 will develop a need for demo-
cratic harmony that will incline even
hearts OF oak" to despised pros and
postpone the feast of crow to some
more convenient season. In the mean
time, under any and all circumstances,
on diet Of crow or turkey, every true
democrat will stand by his rolors and
take his party section straight"
Rally round the flag boys. The hearts
OF oak must stand true, crow or turkey,
free trade or protection, bulge or bust.
1t is all one. Vote the democratic ticket
II the country goes to the devil. This is
true democratic gospel.

Shocking Developments of Inhuman
Treatment of COnvicts at the Coal Hill
Convict Camp in Arkansas

Shocking Developments of Inhuman
Treatment of Convicts at the Coal Hill
Convict Camp in Arkansas.
Fort SMITH, Ark, March 13.-The
startling developments brought to light
at Coal Hill, in the case of Williams, the
negro convict whipped to death, served to
bring out the most revoIting details Of
cruelty and death among the convicts.
Suspicious were aroused by the develop
ments in the Williams case that others
had suffered like death Nose Harvey,
a white man aged thirty five, died on the
9th inst.
The coroner had the BODY exam inc
and found it in a terrible condition will
the marks of kicks and bruises. The
stomach was torn open and the entra lis
hanging out and unment enable ury
had been made. 1t was developed at the
inquest that Warden Grafford, the same
who whipped Will ans to dsath, was in
the habit of making the prisoners fight.
He had put a convict named Mat Bail "
up to giving Harvey, who was a small,
weak man a beating and stood by urging 2
him to kick and beat his victim until he
was sens nseless. The guards were all
afraid to testify.
The body of Mark Elder was exhumed
and found terribly blackened ana it was
also found that there were whip gashes
on his back as deep as mans finger. The
jury could not determine if the wounds
caused death, but think it highly proba-
BILE. A number of prisoners testified,
upon being assured that they would be
kept from punishment.
1t was also developed that a prisoner
named Hummel was tied up to post in
the mines last summer and beaten to
death by the brutal warden. The list Of
the cruelties told by the prisoners, now
that their tongues are Ioosene.1, is almost
incredible in point of human treatment.
Investiga tions are still in progress,
and other cases are expected to de
velope.

simply colossal. All trains east and
west are now ten hours late, and none
can get through before evening. There
are sixtv-three passengers on the Western
train, and the tracks are lined with de-
tanned trains. The wreck crews from
Milf n, Huntingdon, Tyrone and Altoona
are at the scene of disaster.
