Breen is a man of strong muscular develop ment, and would appear to have more than the average mans chances for lodgevity. He is not disposed to be melancholy over his condition, and says that he may outlive the entire Springfield Con- vention. At any rate he has the strange distinction of being the only man alive who wears a collar made at a blacksmith shop.

A Surgical Curiosity.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Nov. 3-A cu- rious surgical case is that presented
 by Henry Breen, of this city. He suffers from aneurism of the orbit, and his is the only case of the kind reported by physicians. He has received many letters inviting him to appear before medical col leges so they can examine and
 study aneurism of the orbit, but as
 he fears that the blood vessel back of the orbit may burst at any mo- ment and thus end his life he has
 preferred to remain under the care of surgeons at home. Breen was a
 brakeman on the Wabash railroad, and while engaged, on July 19 last, in coupling cars at Cecil, O., he was caught between the steps of the ca boose and the end of saw-lng which extended over a flat car and his skull was fractured. After a long and painful illness he rallied sufficiently to walk about, but it was found that the cords of the left eye were paralyzed and refused to perform their natural functions. The aff1iction grew worse and two weeks ago MT. Breen went to Springfield, III, where the Illinois surgeons were holding their annual Convention. He was examined by 173 surgeons, who pronounced his case 'aneurism of the eye" and the only one on record. He was put under the influence of opiates and an iron collar was placed about his neck, to which was attached a 1 thumb-screw which was pressed l over the orbit to stop the rush of

FROM the meagre returns which we have received, the outlook is favorable for Democratic legisla- ture. We are afraid, however, that it will be short of two-thirds ma- jority, which will prevent the Dem crats carrying out their pledges to the people, in abolishing needless unnecessary offices. The people should have thought of this on the day of election and elected Demo- cratic legislators throughout the Territory. A Republican Governor can now, by use of the veto and with the Republican vote in the legislature, prevent any of the re- forms which are so much needed in the Territory.

Despite the fact that the result in Pennsylvania was altogether exceptional, and was brought about by the hostility of a powerful Republican element to- ward the Republican boss and his candidate, the Democrats will un- doubtedly, from presentindications, be strongly tempted to make Patti son their standard bearer in 1892.

Fond Ot Adventure.

Keokuk, To-, Nov. At has de- veloped that Buelah Kiepper, the young woman telegraph operator of this city who disappeared last week, was accompanied by Helen Maxwell, the 19-year-old daughter of John Maxwell, a railroad tie contractor, who is rated as one of the wealthiest men in Keokuk. Mir. Maxwell started in pursuit of the two, and early this morning return ed with both, he having gone to
 Bell, Tex, before success crowned his efforts. The only clew the anx- ious father had to go by was infor- nation gleaned from conductors of the trains the runaway couple had journeyed on, the ticket offices be- ing summed for fear they could be traced thereby. The Kiepper girl in her position as telegraph opera tor was known by many of the trainmen, so after boarding "a car feigned sickness, covering her head with shawl and resting it in her companions lap, thereby escaping recognition. At one town near Kan sas City they had been tempted to purchase tickets, but on nearing the office Miss Kiepper noticed by the ticking of the telegraph instrument that dispatch just being received was regarding their whereabouts. The ticket office was left instantly, a team hired and the journey to the next town made in this manner. Bell, Tex, was reached without fur ther adventures, where MT. Max we'll succeeded in locating them.

Rich Dead Beats.

One of the provocations and ex
 cuses of the communistic element
 in this country is found in the fact
 that there are men of large wealth
 who do not bear their reasonable
 and legitimate share of the burdens
 of the Government. When the
 masses of the people know that a
 man of wealth is shirking his duty to the commonwealth, dodglng taxes and dead beating his way through generally, so far as public affairs are concerned, it is quite nat ural that their opinion of property holders should fall, and that they should favor legislation to abridge their privileges. We have had some striking instances in this country of the way in which rich men dodge their just dues to the community. It was discovered after the death of William H. Vanderbilt that he a l not been paying taxes on a large amount of property that he owned in New York. In other words, he was taxed on much less property than he really possessed and enjoy ed. His son, cornelius Vanderbilt, seems to be playing the same sneak game, for his taxable property in New York is rated at only $200,O00 when he is known to be worth about $1OO,OOO,OOO. MT. Jay Gould is taxed on only $5OO,0OO in New York city. It is possible that these null ti-millionaires comply with the let ter of the law and save the bulk of their property from taxation by putting it in non-taxable securities, but this does not lessen the degree of injustice which they perpetrate on the community. Their money is drawing interest wherever it is, and it is simply justice that they should be made to pay for the sup port of the government in propor- ton to their means. There is no other fair theory of a democratic Government. It is nothing less than an outrage that man worth $100,000,000 should pay taxes on 100000, when a man worth $10,- 900 or 5000 pays on the full amount of his possessions. This sort of thing can not continue. An income tax, strictly enforced, or some other plan, must be devised to make the rich dead beats pay what they owe the Government.- Macon Telegraph.

Improving Range Cattle.

There will be no "die-up" among the cattle this winter in Texas. They will go into the winter in fine COZ dition, and it IS safe to calculate that at least 99 per cent will come out of it with their lives. It has got to be an old, old and often re- peated story, but, nevertheless, a very true one, that it pays to inn prove live stock and raise good an- imals. A thoroughbred bull costs comparatively little. He will serve from twenty to forty cows, and do good service for at least five years. His offspring at yearlings are worth $2 per head more, and at two-year- olds $4 per head more, and at ma turity $1O per head more than those of the scrub bull. The arguments in favor of better stock of all kinds are too numerous and self-evident and too we'll known to admit a re- beating here. It is therefore the intention of the Journal at this par ticular time to ask it's readers to think about it, and act as their in- terests unmistaRably demands Texas Live Stock Journal.

A Big Deal.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The details of an immense deal in real estate by the great packing firms of Armour < Company, Swift & Company and Morris & Company, are madespub- lie. They have purchased $500 acres of land at the southern end of Lake Michigan, in Lake county, Indiana, and will remove their im- mense plants to that point, where they will establish vast manufac- turing center. The business of these three firms alone amounts to
 150,000,000 per annum, and it is estimated they, with others in the same ond similar lines of business, who will be drawn there, will within the next five years, gather at that point a populatian of150,000 souls. The Calmut river runs through the heart of the tract, and will furnish vast dockage facilities in direct with Lake Michigan.
