SUBTERRANEAN PRESSURE.
The First Indication of 1t at the Expert
mental WelI-The Water Ri-ing.

At the experimental well the drill is
down now nearly 800 feet and is still
pounding away in the pink substance, a
calcareous formation in which the drill
works very easily. The best OF indca-
tons were developed yesterday at depth
of 2S5 feet. A flow of surface water
was struck that for time forced
the men to stop work, and it
came up in the hole about twenty-five
feet, showing unmistakable proof of the
existence of subterranean pressure even
at that depth. This is the second flow
of surface water encountered. Like the
first, it has been cased off, that is
the casing has been put down
below where it was struck, and the drill
is again in operation. The contractors
seem to feel very hopeful that 200 feet
more will develop an artesian flow.

A Tax on DruInmers.

LoREDo, Texas, Dec. 27,-Some time
ago the states of Cohahuila and Nuevo
Leon, in Mexico, passed special law
taxing drummers from foreign countries
and neighboring states who make period
ical trips within the states the sum OF $25
per trip for visiting cities therein, and a
municipal tax was also laid on them in
all interior towns. This was done as a
means of protection for Monterey and
Saltillo houses against foreign wholesale
houses and the City OF Mexico. The fed
eral government becoming cognizant Of
the fact, at the instance of the City
of Mexico wholesale dealers, at once
laid federal tax upon drummers also,
thus virtually closing out the foreign
drummers, and also compelling drummers
when only travelling in their respective
states to pay tax to the federal govern
ment. At present when drummer from
foreign countries visits Mexico he is COM
PEELED to pay a federal, state and munich
pal tax, which altogether closes him out,
as the tax altogether amounts to nearly
5000 for trip i'll any one state. Mexican
buyers will now have to buy by catalogue
or visit the United States in person to
procure American goods.

Boston, Dec. 2S.-The three magnif-

Mrs. Hitler, of Wilmington, Mass, for
the repose of her own and her deceased
husbands remains, and the ornate burial
robe, which cost $780, 900 to make, are on
exhibition in Horticultural hall, with Mrs
Hitler standing by to tell the crowds
about the mysterious carvings and the
elaborate ornaments. The show is given,
so Mrs. Hitler says, by way Of carrying
out the dying wishes of her husband, who
desired above all things reform in mod
ern methods of interring dead bodies. The
hall is draped in black, the windows are
covered, and at intervals an organ plays
mournful strains, the combined effect be-
ing grewsome in the extreme. A curious
and sympathetic throng eddied in and out
of the hall all day. Visitors were inform
ally presented to Mrs. Hitler and Mr..
John W. McGregor, the carver, who for
five years past has devoted hls energies
night aud day to the elaboration of the
worldfamed caskets. The exhibition will

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE War
Department has not been officially in
formed of the death of Jefferson Davis
and has taken no action with respect
to it. a large oil painting of the de-
ceased hangs on the wall of
the chief clerks room, which i'm
mediately adjOins the Office of
the Secretary. 1t is surrounded
by portraits of other ex-Secretaries,
including Simon Cameron, General
SchOfield and Messrs. Floyd and Con-
rad. 1t bears the inscription, "Jeffer-
son Davis, Secretary of War 1S53-57,
Pierce'S Administration. There was
no Grape about the portrait and the
flag over the building, which had al
ways been half-masted on the death of
an eX-Secretary, flOated in good breeze
from its usual place at the top of the
staff.
Secretary Proctor, seen yesterday
morning and asked what course the
department would pursue in regard to
Mr.. Davis death, said: II see no oc-
casiOn for any action whatever. 1t
would serve no good purpose that 1 can
see. 1t is better to let the matter rest
in oblivion, sleep if it will, and to rel
egate it to the past, than to do any
thing that would revive memories

A Prominent Attorney and Member of the
Legislature Shot in Crowded Court
ROOm-Two Others Wounded.
MARSHALL, Tex, Dec. Twelve
months ago ex-COunty Judge W. 7. S.
Keller entered suit for divorce against
his wife, E. S. Keller Judge Hazel
wood, who was district Judge at the
time, entered decree giving two of
the children to each of the litigants.
On November % application was made
by the wife to Hon. ]. S. Blanton,
special judge in the case, for an order
to restore to the wife the youngest
daughter. The order was granted, and
ali officer was sent to San Angelo, the
present residence of Judge Keller, for
the child, which was brought back.
With it came the father. Judge Blan-
ton was ignorant of the order of Judge
HazelwOOd. Judge Blanton came
down Thursday evening, and COM
menced yesterday morning to
investigate the matter. The
curt opened at ten a. m. W. r.
Greer and 7. P. Young represented
Judge Keller, and W. H. Pope, Alex
ander Pope and James Turner repre-
sented the wife. Mr.. Greer addressed
the court at length on behalf of his
client. When he concluded w. II.
Pope arose and made some remarks, at
which Judge Keller took Offense and
replied to Mr.. Pope in equally offensive
language that so offended Pope that he
grabbed gold-headed cane that was
lying on the desk in front and hurled
it at Keller, who instantly drew his pis-
tOl and commenced firing.
About this time G. r. Weatherby, a
relative and warm friend of Judge Kel-
Ter, appeared upon the scene and with
pistol in hand opened fire on Pope.
The excitement at this time can be bet
ter imagined than described. Major
James Turner fell early in the action,
but on examination his wonnd proved
to be only flesh wound of the abdo-
men. W. II. Pope received ball in
the left shoulder and one through the
feshy part of the lower right arm
Three other bullets passed through his
clothes. His wounds, though painful,
are not considered fatal.
Alexander Pope was shot through
the bowels.
Keller and Weatherby were prompt
ly arrested and placed in Jail.
Your correspondent was occupying a
seat in the gallery of the court house
while this bloody tragedy was being
enacted. Many ladies were among the
audience. The bar was full of lawyers
and friends of the contending parties.
Many took shelter behind desks and
benches, while others fled. The women
fled, screaming with horror at the ter
rible sight.
Hon. w. II. Pope is State Senator,
while his brother, Alexander Pope,
represented Harrison County in the
Lower House.
State Representative Alexander Pope
died last night at nine o'clock from the
effects of his wound in the court house
fight.

A Bill Agreed Upon TO Organize the Ter

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Congressmen
Springer, ManSur, Perkins, Struble,
Peel, Baker and Allen have agreed
upon the draft of bill for the new
Territory of Oklahoma, and it will be
introduced at the earliest day possible.
1t is very comprehensive, embracing a
territorial form of government, a com
plete judicial system for Oklahoma and
also the Indian Territory, and also new
town site laws adapted to the situation
in Oklahoma. 1t extends the land
laws to NO-Man's-Land and provides
that the new Territory shall use the
laws of Kansas until the close of the
first session of the first Legislature.
1t provides for communication of home
stead entries after eighteen months
residence upon paying s1.25 per acre,
and, in fact, provides for every phase
of the anomalous condition of the peo-
pie of that Territory upon the lines and
conditions desired by them as made

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Catarrhal Deafness-HAy FeVer-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are 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 fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a 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 snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
