Calcutta is fine, large city, on the
northeast coast of India, and one who
lived there tells strange but true
story of how doctor cured the biggest
patient he ever had. The patient was
a huge elephant, who for long time
had suffered from disease in his eyes,
which at last got so bad that he could
not see. His owner, an English officer,
went to DIR. Webb, and begged him to
come and see what could be done. He
did; and after looking carefully at the
giant creature, the doctor said "The
best cure that l know of is nitrate of
silver; but it will give good deal of
pain" Perhaps some of my readers
whose friends have bad eyes have
heard the name of this remedy. Well,
the owner said he had better try, and
if the animal would not allow it he
must give it up. But-would you be-
lieve 1.-THE elephant, who, like most
of his race, was as wise as he was big,
found so much relief from his first
days doctoring that when DIR. Webb
visited him next day he lay down of his
own account, placed his great heavy
head on one side, curled up his trunk.
and then, just as you or might if we
were going to bear some dreadful pain &,
he drew in his breath and lay perfectly
still. The healing mixture was dropped
into each eye, and when the sharp,
short pain was gone, he gave great
sigh, as much as to say, "Thats good
thing got over. feel all the better for
it," When he got up he tried, in his
poor dumb fashion, to thank his friend
for giving him back his sight.

The day OF cheap watches has passed. The
country is flooded with them. The GAZETTE,
abreast with the times has resolved that every
one Of its subscribers shall have placed within
his reach watch OF the best kind made-one
that he will be proud to wear and have comfort
in using.
Tim. was when the stop-watch, with the split
second hand, used for timing horses on race
tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be
afforded by only a few. Time when gold
of sufficient thickness to protect a watch
was out of the range of possibilities OF nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost of manufacture
of movements and the invention of three sheet
now brings both these within the means of
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed" limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The
genuine gold filled" or reinforced cases,
patented and made only by half dozen manu-
facturers, are the same for use and wear as solid
gold cases and may be so considered and treated
Even the costlest watches on the market now
have them, on account OF their greater strength.
Five points of interest to subscribers:
l. A stop watch, sweep second, each second
split into tifths. for timing horses, races, etc.
z. A gold or silver case, the gold case to be
steel reinforced, to give strength and durability
Honest metal and no plating, with l5years guar
antee for wear.
3. The latest improvements of every kind in
winding, setting, opening, etc.
4. guarantee OF one year from the maker OF
the movements.
s. AS beautiful design as could be made, for
subscribers only.
These watches are manufactured and guaran-
teed by the Manhattan Watch Company of New
York City, one of the largest and Oldest as well
as best known of the fne-grade watches, and
THE GAZETTE now offers Its readers their choice
of the following watches:

THE WEEKLY GAZETTE. FORT WORTH TEXAS. THURSDAY

ONCE upon time, before the talented editor
of the New Birmingham Times came to Texas,
there was 8 land-law question in this state. In
it was involved no Democratic principle, and it
was no test of mans Democracy, but it was
put in the platform all the sar1e.-lFort Worth
GAZETTE.
Did the Fort Worth GAZETTE support ''the
lease system after il was in the platform?-
Houston Age.
The lease law itself was not submitted
to vote of the people, but The GA
zETTE supported lease law Demo-
Gratis faithfully aud theoretically,
and these men gave emphasis and
form to the lease law. THE GAZETTE
fought the lease law before those who
favored it, and tried to convince them
of the error of their ways. And now
THE GAZETTE insists that the commission
amendment shall be made plank in the
platform. 1t is question of majority,
not of principle, dear Age. The De-
mocracy wills it. and the majority rules.
That's the way 1t was with the lease law;
that's the way it will be with the amend
ment. Take your medicine now Us you
did six years ago.

q search was commenced and he was
soon found and brought out and carried
two miles from town and hung by at
least 1000 of our people. He said he
was guilty and ought TO die. He said TO
the reporter that he had been watching
an opportunity to catch the young lady
about three weeks. The young girl is
well connected and of good family. The
people after the hanging went to their
homes.
District court adjourned for the term.
County court continued all cases until
the fall term on account of SO much ex-
element.
To-day is ond of the happiest days of
old Anderson. At least 1900 people were
here demanding that justice be done

by handsome majority. Several

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

In view of the statement OF the Master in
Charcery T. NJ Campbell of the International
and Great Northern railway, the News has this
to say for the present: Notwithstanding the
charge under official sanction that the News has
been bribed by the railroads Of the state to de-
same is denied by the News, and a suspension
of public Endorsement of the charge is demanded
by this News right until refutation, in JUS
is forthcoming. dallas News.
Not only "the News, the public and
the railroads. are affected by this
charge, but every public journal in the
state has direct interest in it. The tri-
bunal before which this case is to be ad-
Indicated is not seated in the courtroom,
but is to be found in the field, in the
workshop, in the office and in the store
house, and every Texas newspaper has
direct, individual interest in the YER
dict. "The charge under official sauo-
ton, - made against the Galveston
News is one that, disproved, would
damn any public journal. and rest as
reproach upon every other newspaper in
Texas. Disproved, this charge would
stand against every public journal that
ventured at any time in the future to
raise its voice in behalf of railroads or
other corporations. as against an unwise
and hurtful clamor and so true is this tn
with some people now, every prominent
daily in the state opposing a railroad
commission Is an object of suspicion.
Not only this, but if one newspaper
could be bribed or subsidized it would be
impossible to build up rival to such
newspaper beyond point of circulation
and consequent influence 10 be de-
termined by the railroads that can make
or unmake newspaper circulations in
Texas by their schedules.
Ii is serious charge embodied in Mas
ter Campbell's report, for it involves the
control of newspaper conduct by the rail-
roads and the debauohery of public opin-
ion at its very fountain head. If
the charge is true the people
would be justified in any heroic measure
of protection against such debauchery
If it is not true, the refutation should be
so plain that it will reach the dullest
comprehension.
The News asks for suspension of
public judgment until refutation be
forthcoming. The people should grant
the reasonable request In justice to the
News, in justice to the railroads, in JUS
tee to themselves; for, If the charge
stood unrefuted, solemn and serious
duty would devolve upon the people to
fully protect themselves against such far
reaching prostitution of the charters
granted to railroads in this state. Let
the public suspend its judgment until the
refutatiou of the News is printed.

BALTIMORE. Md, Aug. 5.-Recent
dispatches from Rio de Janeiro give
currency to the report OF the formation
in that city of large syndicate for the
purpose of controlling the Brazilian
coffee market. Joshua Lsye Ring, q
prominent coffee merchant OF this city !,
is inclined to disoredit the report. He
says the competition between the coffee
commission men in Rio is very brisk and
the cutting of prices Is too sharp to give
much probability to the story of COM
bination there.
