condition, destroys the appetite and they
gradually go down until they die of sheer
exhaustion. They become unfit for use
and lose their sense even if they don t eat
enough to finally kill them. Chemists

doubt that it does up 4 horse.

THE DIRECT TAX BILL.

To-day is the date fixed for final action
on the bill to refund the direct taxes COL
lected from the states by act of congress
in 1861 to raise money to carry on the
war. Some of the states paid this tax
and some did not, as perhaps some Old
Texans may remember, and this bill pro-
poses not only to refund to each state the
amount of such direct taxes paid by it,
but to cancel the amount due" by each
state under the act of August, 1861. The
refunding bill has passed the senate and
was set for final action in the house to-
day. The following schedule shows how
the account of each state and territory
stands.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
CoMANCHE, TEX, Dec. Cotton

rection, keeping our three gins busy
some of them day and night. The out
look for old Comanche is bright. We
look daily for cheering news from Presi-

Rio Grande
On last Sunday night a young German
who was travelling through the country +,
and who had stopped over few days at
the residence of Mr. Ben Stevens, eight
miles east of Comanche, was robbed of
$3.50. The perpetrator of the deed is sup
posed to be young boy who was in the
employment of the German and travel
ing with him, and who had decamped
when the money was missed. Sheriff
Wilson and his deputies are camping on
his trail. So far nothing has been heard
of him, except that boy answering his
description was seen in the neighborhood
of Gainesville Wednesday.

Philadelphia Record: Thirty years

which has prevailed since that time for

business. About one-tenth of the carry

other nine-tenths is in the hands of out
siders, sailing under foreign flags.
Hapers Weekly: We have known an
American minister abroad who,. half
dressed and drunk, harrangued n street
crowd in one of the great capitals of
Europe. We have seen in another great
capital an American minister drunk and

drove through the streets amid the deris-

not party affair; it was n national dis
grace; and such would be the elevation

a GENUINE BLIZZARD.
Yesterdays Storm the Worst Known in
the Great Northwest

Yesterdays Storm the Worst Known in
the Great Northwest.
ST. PAUL, January 12th-Railroat men
agree that the storm of to-day is quite the
worst ever known in the Northwest for
their business. 1t extends from the Rocky
Mountains TO Lake Michigan, but its worst
effects are felt in Dakota and Minnesota.
Everywhere it has been accompanied by
high winds, which drift the snow badly,
and in Northern Dakota, with the mer-
curry below zero temperature, it assumes
the character of genuine blizzard
The railroads had hardly finished clear
ing their tracks from the previous storm,
and that of to-day has absolutely blocked
all the small roads. The through lines are
battling bravely against the elements to.
keep things moving. All fleights on the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba lines have.
been abandoned, and no passenger trains
were sent out on these roads tonight
Reports from Dakota late tonight say
the wind is sixty miles an hour. Trains
are almost buried in the drifting snow, and
one collision is reported.
AT Minot, Oak, terrible storm is rag
ing, and the mercury is fifteen degrees be-
low zero.
The blizzard spreading, and has reached
Chicago and other places east of here.

Prospective Development of Natural Gas
Wells in Sutter.
Copyright 1888, by tie California associated Press
MARYsvILLE, January 12th.-There is a
prospect that good supply of natural gas
may soon be developed in the Buttes. a few
miles back of Sutter City, in Sutter county.
An old shaft sunk to depth of forty feet a
dozen or more years ago by parties prospect
ing Tor coal and other minerals, struck a
strong flow of gas and was abandoned in
consequence, after an explosion had oc-
Cured which blew off the MINDLESS at the
top of the shaft Ever since the shaft has
been giving out gas. The top was covered
over and a piece of iron pipe inserted,
through which the escaping gas comes out
with considerable pressure. When lighted
it burns with a strong flame, or until the
wind blows it out
Formerly the gas was supposed to be of
no value, but in view of its general en-
ployment in Ohio and Pennsylvania for
light and fuel, and of the establishment of
the new town of Sutter City in the neigh
borhood, it is proposed to develop the fine
prospect afforded by the old shaft.
The owner of the land on which the
shaft is situated is Eli Davis, a prominent
citizen of Suffer county, and he means to
take steps Immediately to determine the
extent of the supply of gas. Seams of
coal have been found in The Buttes, like
wise traces of oil also what is supposed to
be mineral paint and porcelain clay A
house has been built from the granite stone
quarried near Suffer City. Strong springs
are found upon the slopes, and it is be-
Heyed that arteSian wells would be sue
cess in that neighborhood
