us.
Calendar consists Of twelve sheets
Tone for each month) of coated board,
size l2X78 inches, printed in nine to
twelve colors and gold from engrav-
ed metal plates costing over $4,000.
Each page is entirely different from
the others, illustrating the origin and
use of playing cards, etc.
January opens with the story of
the playing card-its birthplace:
g Midst austere walls of convent
gray" which is carried through by
different representations and descrip-
lions to the end, December showing
the house of cards" and view of
the Russell & Morgan Company's
building, the largest playing card fac
tory on earth.
This is the most elaborate calendar
ever produced, and while the Russell
G. Morgan Company have not forgot
ten to work in fair amount OF adj
vertising pertinent to their business,
the calendar itself is a most practical
one. The figures are large and plain,
and on the back of the December
sheet is furnished a full commercial
calendar for the years 1889 and 1890,
with the consecutive figures so useful
to book-keepers and business men
who wish to make "noteo on

calendar advises us that sample cop
les will be mailed to any address up
on receipt Of twenty-five cents.

No government, he said, could be certain
of avoiding errors or accomplishing
everything it wished. Therefore, he asked

of "Vive Floquet" The maratime pre-

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, September IA sad accident
occurred at Bruceyille, small town on
the Missouri Pacific railroad, six miles
south of Waco. Tommy, the Skye
old son of Mr.. L. P. Field, a prosperous
merchant of that place, was riding close
to the railroad. An incoming freight
train frightened the horse which threw
the boy off on the track in front of the
engine. The child was so stunned by
the fall that he could not move
and before his father, who was standing
close by, could reach him, the heavy
wheels of the engine had passed over the
lower limbs, severing both feet at the
ankle joints. The shock was so great
that the boy had not recovered from it at
late hour to night. 1t is thought he will
die before morning.
young man named fowler was ar
raigned here to-day before justice,
charged with fence cutting His pre-
liminary hearing was postponed until
Wednesday.
Farris Kemp, of Bremond, came to this
city tonight to receive medical attention.
Five weeks ago in eating meat he
lodged small piece of sharp bone in his

he is in very dangerous condition.
Two runaway boys, from Meridian, Tex,
Moore McJIerey and Smith McLerey,
brothers, aged ~ and years respectively,
were arrested here tonight. They said
they beat their way on the train from
Meridian to McGregor and had Wake

both father and mother living at
Meridian, and that their father was rail-
road man. They were trying to make
their way to Tyler, where they had an
uncle living. They gave no other reason
for leaving home. A telegram was re-
ceived here late tonight from their father,
stating that he would come for them to-
morrow. The Oldest boy stated that he
was printer and telegraph operator.

DEN1soN, September AT 1850 this
afternoon, Herbert st. John, aged II
years, son of Yardmaster Himer St. John,
of the Central railroad, attempted to step
on the front footbo ard on engine No. II,
as it was moving south. He missed his
footing and fell in front of the engine.
Before the engine could be stopped, Her
bert was rolled over two or three times by
the engine and both feet were caught
under wheel and the engine passed over
them, crushing his legs in horrible man
ner. Both feet were crushed into jelly
and half way up the ankles
was mass of crushed and
quivering flesh. The bones were
laid bare, and one of them protruded six
or eight inches from the flesh. The left
hand was mashed all out of shape. The
fingers being iattened out and ground
nearly off. AS soon as possible physl-
clans were summoned, but ere their ar
rival the boy was placed on stretcher
and removed to the transfer shop, end
afterwards to his home on Merrick avenue
The physicians did all they could to re-
lieve his sufferings, but to no avail. The
young man was dying at 5:4O p. M
Those who arrived at the scene
of the accident saw horrible
sight. The boys feet were lying across
the rail and blood was being sent forth in
a stream at every pulsation of the heart,
and on the right side of the track lay the
boy, with his face as pale as marble,
rapidly growing insensible from the loss
of blood. Ere many minutes he sank into
a stupor, and was in that condition when
carried home No blame is attached
to the engineer, who did all in
his power to stop the engine when the
alarm was given.
