CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Homa Treatment,

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
nre due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however. has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that O simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one TO three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. ii. Dixon Il Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Supreme Court of Texas Settles the Chief
FONT in the Daggett Land Case

The Supreme Court of Texas Settles the Chief
FONT in the Daggett Land Case.
It VIII be remembered by members of
the bar, and especially of Fort Worth,
that i'll the case of Thomas H. Miller ct
al. VS.. the Texas and Pacific Rail
way Company ct al, pending in the
supreme court of the United States,
in which is involved the title to Whist is
known as the Daggett addition to Fort
Worth, that the leading question is as. to
the validity of a Judgment rendered i'll
the district court of Gonzales county
October %, 1852, setting aside and rem
dering void the will of Thomas P
Rutledge, deceased The appellants,
claim the land under and by
virtue of said will, and claim
that the judgment setting aside
the will is null for the reason that the
will created a life estate in Eliza Rut-
ledge, the SURVIVING wife of Thomas P
Rutledge, with remainder over to, the
hers OF Alsey Miller and. that in the
proceeding to yacate the will the re-
mainder were not made parties to the
suit.
In the case of Thomas H Miller ct al.
VS.. w L. Foster eft al. appeal from
Gonzales county, recently decided in
the supreme court of Texas,
it is held that the proceeding in the dis
trict court of Gonzales county to gacate
the will of Thomas P. Rutledge was 8
proceeding IN rem, and that the remain
der of men (tbe Millers) were not Fneces-
sary parties to the suit, and that the Or
der vacating the will is valid and that
the will is void This decision entirely
destroys the claim of the Millers in
the Daggett land suit covering the
320-acre survey known as Daggett's ad-
ditIon.
This material question is also under con-
sideration by the United States supreme
court and will be decided by the Texas

stood to be opposed TO amalgamation.
What decision was reached by the dele
gates can not be ascertained. \ well
known railroad official said last night,
however, that it has been known in rail-
road circles for some time that the en-
gineers are dissatisfied with the outcome
of the strike on the Burlington system and
it has been understood this meeting was
to consider a plan OF retrieving their
former power. To do this it is thought a
general strike of engineers and tiremen
on every Western road was proposed.
This, of course, was Strenu0usly denied
by the officers of the Brotherhood, but
there seems to be good grounds for be-
Geying this move was discussed. Repre-
sentatives of the Brotherhood as far east
as Ohio, and from the Western states,
were present.
