DOcTORING IN HE DARK.

No sensible surgeon viii attempt the
performance of an operation involving
human life in a room secluded from the
proper amount of light. A practitioner
will not attempt the diagnosis OF a COM
plicated disease unless he can see the suf-
ferer and make an examination upon
which to base his opinion relative to the
course of treatment necessary to bring
about complete restoration of health.
Notwithstanding the improperly of
such action there seems to be great deal
of doctoring done in the dark.
BY this it is not intended that literal
meaning be inferred, but that a great
many mistakes are committed because Of
the darkness which Is the result Of iCno-
rance 1t needs no illustration to demon
strate that gross ignorance has caused
many fatal mistakes to be made IN the
treatment of diseases by those who profess
TO be learned in the art of healing.
In many diseases several organs are
more or less implicated and what SEEMS
primary ailmenU may be one quite remote.
For instance. a severe headache may have
its origin il a disturbed stomach. On the
other hand, sickness at the stomach may
be caused by blow on the head The
seat OF typhoid fever is in the upper part OF
the bowels but most Of its worst symp-
toms are often in the brain.

LIVE STOCK RAISERS.
Meeting of the Texas Central Association

WACO. Tex, March 2L-The annual
meeting of the Central Texas Live Stock
association took place today in the rooms
Of the association on North Fifth street,
and was called to order by President a.
| Wheeler. i call of the roll by Secretary
W. E. Hall very showed fair atteu,
dance Of members, as well as a num-
! Der of representatives from St. Louis,
| Kansas City and Chicago commission
I houses. The president in opening the con-
vention stated that the question had
| been frequently asked why it was neces-
sary for this organization to continue
when there was a state organization.
! This, he said, was not an organization Of
rangemen, but of live stock raisers, who
found it necessary for their existence to
organize at the origin Of the association,
four years ago. The members lost thous-
ands Of dollars by having cattle stolen
from them. but the association, by vigor-
ously prosecuting every offender caught,
and offering large rewards when any ami
mails were stolen from memb ers of the as
ISOLATION, put an end to this, and dur
ing the past twelve months not single
case of loss by theft from members
had been reported. The association had
also been effective in securing cheap rail-
road rates for shippers, and two years ago
secured rate by which every cattle ship
per in Texas was benefited. The principal
questions for discussion. he said were the
securing OF cheap railroad rates, good
market and best methods for feeding
and taking care of stock during the
winter.
The report OF Treasurer w. w. Seley
was read and approved, showing that the
finances of the association were in excel
lent condition, with a big cash balance on
hand.
The following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
vention that the present system of weigh
ing stock by the railroads discriminates
against Texas cattle, and We demand its
revision or adjustment
Resolved, that it is the desire of the as
ISOLATION to have the Chicago Cattle ex-
change of Chicago, ascertain the visible
supply of beef cattle over the cattle grow
ing states and territories the number of
males and females compared with ship
ments in former years, and that the Cen
trail Texas Live Stock association will CO.
operate with and assist said Cattle Ex-
change in ascertaining said facts.
Messrs. A. Wheeler, W. w. Seley, w. A.
Poage and L. J. Ashburn were selected as
a committee to ascertain the number of
cars OF live stock, which would be shipped
by mem bers of the association during the
year, and secure from the railroads more
advantageous rates.
The annual election of officers resulted
as follows; President, A. Wheeler; first
vice president, II. Z. Conger; second vice
president, J. 3. Payne; third vice presi-
dent, j. NJ. higgins; secretary, ". +.

LIE vOTED For 81 EVEI AND.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. March 21.-The ad-
visibility of appointing Prof. Arthur T
Hadley, of Yale, a member of the inter
state commerce commission, to succeed
Aldace f. Walker resigned. has been under
consideration by the administration at
Washington and a day or two ago one of
the leading managers OF the Republican
party in New Haven, acting doubtless
under instructions called upon the profess
Sor to ascertain whether at the last election
he voted for Mr. Cleveland or Mr.. Harrison.
The professor answered that he voted Tor
Mr.. Cleveland Mr.. Walker who res signed
from the commission to accept the presl-
dency of the Interstate Railway assOcia-
ton, was Republican. According to the
interstate commerce act, whenever there is
a vacancy in the board, the candidate must
come from the same political party as
that to which the retiring member be-
lunged. 1t is understood here that
Mr.. Hadley was a Republican in politics
until the nomination of Mr.. Blaine in
1884, but it is generally believed that his
vote against Harrison will be an inSur-
mountable obstacle to his appointment to
succeed Mr.. Walker, although he has been
strongly endorsed by the press of New
England. notably by that of Massachu-
setts. Prof Hadley would not discuss the
matter today further than TO admit that a
call, such as has been described, was made
upon him. Neither he nor the gentleman
who called upon him has since heard a
word as to the Administrations conclu-
sionS, and this is regarded as indicating
that Yale is not to be honored by this APP

DEADLY DYNAMITE
Two Men Blown to Atoms at a Factory
Near Lakewood, n. ].

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-A sound like
the combined roar of hundreds Of cannons,
followed by the ascension of d huge black
cloud of smoke to & towering height,
startled the inhabitants of Lakewood, n.
j., and those Of other adjacent villages, at
p. m. today. It was conJectured that m
explosion had occurred in the works of the
United States Dynamite company eight
miles distant. This was the case. The
explosion had occurred in the mixing
room. Thomas Hagserty and William
Nicholas, both of Manchester the only
occupants of the room, were instantly
killed. Nicholas was blown 80 atoms and
Haggerty died in less than an hour.
The shock was perceptible in all the
towns and villages within fifteen or twenty
miles
The United States Dynamite company
located its factory near Toms river about
tour years ago. Three explosions have
occurred there, in which five men were
killed and three wounded for life.
The body of Nicholas was scattered in
every direction about the premises, and
men were engaged in gathering them
until darkness compelled them to desist.

A NEGRO AGENT COMES TO GRIEF.

RALAIGH, n. c., March IA white
man named H. H. Cheek. one of the agents
engaged in inducing negro emigrants to go
south, came to grief here today. He left
here last night with party of about sixty
negroes for Mississippi, but at Greensboro,
eighty miles from here, he was overhau!ed
by a prominent farmer Of this section
named a. Z. Mat, who had him arrested
and brought brought back to this city,
charging that he had enticed away hands
who were hired to work for him by the
year. Cheek was arraigned this evening
before a justice of the peace and found
guilty. and in default of $500 was put in
jail. His whole crew were left at Green's
boro, where they yet remain. The farmers
throughout this section have been left
without hands enough to work their crops
and Mat determined to make test case.
Cheek is from Warren county. in this state,
and has been acting as agent for southern
planters wanting hands.

TEXAS AND UTAH TRADE.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 21.-Mr. E.
E. Rich. of Salt Lake City, vice-president
of the Utah Produce Association, is in the
city, bent upon extending the commerce
between Southwest Texas and his terri
tory. His idea is that by means Of the
Southern Pacific railway a tremendous
trade can be built up between these points.
He is trying to get capitalists into his
scheme, and he intends that Southwest
Texas, which is the garden spot of the
state, shall supply Utah with garden pro-
duce, which is growing in profuslon, by
February l. and that Utah shall later in
the season furnish grain and other feed
and fruit. He Is loud in condemnation of
the Texas senate bill regulating railways,
which is now in the hands of the house
1t will, il adopted, kill his business, as
we'll as that of numerous others either
now in Texas or contemplating coming
here

NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 21.-The
Northwestern Miller today says: with
only part of the mills in operation the
water power averaged quite good gains
last week, though the Hour output fell off
little. The aggregate production for the
! week was 90, 760 barrels, averaging 1860
barrels, against 81, $40 the week before and
| u.s. 1863 for the corresponding time in 1888
The decrease was traceable to several of
the larger mills running a less number of
days than usual. The water power is still
good, and most of the engines lately
in use have either been dispensed
with or are about to be.
If the flour market was little more brisk
it is probable that a greater number OF
mills would want to run, and the head OF
water would doubtless be pulled down
some and be less satisfactory. There
were twelve mills grinding today, repre-
senting daily output of 1920 barrels.
One of them, however, producing about
800 barrels, was started this morning.
Two of the others, representing an equal
work. Thus the output for the
week promises to average not far from
Il, 900 barrels per day. The -four market
continues very sluggish, sales being
light and of a car lot charac-
ter to barely meet the momentary

away. There seems to be a lack OF conf
dence on the part of the buying class, and
while stocks are claimed to be not large at
most points, certain distrust prevails
which makes the trade want still further
concessions, no matter how much prices
are reduced One of our leading miilers
just from the east says that he expects TO
see increased exports of wheat from now
on, and that this will impart TO the mar
kets the confidence only lacking for good

week put into effect -four rate of 113c

nearly the same thing has been obtained
all winter through the medium OF transit.
The direct exports of -four for the week
were $3.50 barrels against 1920 barrels

this was on the large orders reported as
received by leading firm two weeks ago.

IETTHE CARS RuN OVER HIM.

LIBERTY, Mo-, March 21.--What ap-
pears to have been horrible but deliber-
ate suicide was committed near Randolph
at 10 o'clock this morning, The east bound
st. Louis fast train on the Wabash West
ern was nearing that station at the hour
named when Engineer w. A. Hathaway
discovered man walking slowly on
the track, and as the train drew
near the man did not show
any signs of stepping of. En-
gineer Hathaway repeatedly pulled the
whistle, but the man never turned bis
head until the train was within few feet
of him. when he stopped and assumed a
squatting position, as if waiting for the
engine to strike him. The train was
stopped aud the body picked up. but it was
lifeless. The man was about Sc years of
age, and on the flag Of his shirt front was
the name f. Holm. This was all that
could be found to indicate his name. He
was well dressed.

A CITY TREASURER'S ACTIONS SUS-
TANNED.

BoNHAM Tex, March 21.-A case of con-
siderable magnitude involving several
points of law has just been decided here in
special court, with Hon. Fl. w. Light
foot, of Paris, as special judge. Last year
the city foated bonds to the amount of
$4,000 to build system of water works.
The money thus raised was turned over to
the city treasurer, who deposited in one Of
the banks here subject to check.
Another bank offered the city 5
per cent. interest on $4,000 of it,
the amount remaining after several
payments. ION the waterworks had been
made. The treasurer was ordered to trans
fer the money to the bank Offering the in
terest. This he refused to do unless he
was allowed his regular commission for
handling the money. An injunction was
sued out and Judge Lightfoot's ruling
snstains the action of the treasurer, who,
by the decision, is allowed to place the city
funds on deposit at any place he may deem
safe. The judge also ruled that the coun-
Gil could only remove the funds with the
consent of the treasurer, and that such
funds could not be placed at interest.

FOREIGN DRY GOODS.

MANCHESTER, March 21.-The Guardian,
IN its general commercial article, says:
There has been somewhat free buying OF
light shirtings, for Calcutta at previous
prices This is about the only instance or
any improvement in business. The tone
is generally exceedingly quiet and some
time it is fat. Occasionally further weak
ness is apparent. Such instances occur
mostly in the yarn, rather than III the
cloth departments, and only where the pre-
V. Is advance has been realized Else
where there is much firmness, The INDIA
demand, except that mentioned above, Is
trihing. Few sellers did an average Tues
days business. China staples are hrm but
inactive. Sellers are not anxious 10: fresh
orders. except as full rates Some sellers
are somewhat stronger on account OF sales
made last week.
The transactions for the minor foreign
markets are moderate Home houses are
occasionally buying more freely; Manu-
facsurers hold steadily to quotations. In
view Of the narrowness of the margin
they are only DESTROYS TO sell enough
at current rates TO prevent
an accumulation of stock, Export
yarns are very quiet. There IS small
business for India and the continent.
There Is an exceedingly poor inquiry from
China aud Japan. Cloth continues quiet,
especially in the eastern departments.
The higher reeds of printing cloth are hat
and the sales are small. Common has
been rather more salable lately. Prices
discourage manufacturers. Fancy gray
goods are strong and well sold. The
inquiry for colored woven goods has mn
proved. Plain heavy goods are steady.
Sellers progress moderately.
