terdaY, having adjourned until Monday :,

up.
The case of G. E. Kingsbury against

yesterday. The plaintiff sued for SIO0
damages for levying on exempt property.
The jury returned verdict for the de-
PENDANT. The case of V. L. Mock

ages for injuries sustained in runaway
accident. While driving over the
bridge his wagon caught in
the railing, and he was thrown
out and dragged some distance, re-
ceiving severe injuries. He now sues

THE DOCTORS ADJOURN.
Last Annual Session and Breaks Up,
to Meet at Waco.
The blue badges have disappeared from
che streets and the doctors are gone.

The blue badges have disappeared from
the streets and the doctors are gone.
After short executive session yester-
day morning the convention formally ad-
journed, to meet in Waco on the fourth
Tuesday of April, 1891, and by night the
greater part of the visiting phys
icians had left the city. Many
were delayed until late in the day by the
storm g interference with the railroad
service. Those going south took the de-
layed Missouri, Kansas and Texas train,
which pulled out about 5
o. clock in the afternoon. A few
preferred to wait until a safe delivery
was assured, but the badges were pulled
in and the medical convention was q
thing of the past.
The session was called to order with
DR.. Samuel Burroughs in the chair. The
heavy rain of the morning prevented a
great many from attending, but a
quorum was present, and the
convention went into an execu-
tive session There were few
reports made, among which were those
Of the special committees on the score
tarY 8 and treasurer's report. A reso-
luton was passed raising the salary of
the treasurer from 500 to $3.50 There
was some discussion as to allowing the
annual amount, $500, for publishing
the records of the transactions of the
convention, but a resolution to ap-
propriate that amount, as in other years,
was passed. DR.. Swearingcn, who, IN
his official capacity, was to have ap-
pointed committee of five on
state legislation, reported the
appointment of DR.. Doug
lass as chairman of the committee with
power to choose the remaining mem
berS. A few other matters of minor
Importance were touched upon and, on
DR.. Swearengen g motion, the conven-
ton stood adjourned for another year.
The doctors are unanimous IN their ex-
preston of qualification at the reception
which was accorded them in this
city. The resident physicians
worked hard, and much of the
success of the convention is due to
their untirlng efforts. Indeed, the chair
man of the committee of arrangements,
DR.. W. Z. Burts, received a merited
compliment from the body in his election
to the first Office in the gift of the Or
ganization for the ensuing year.
The number which attended the con-
vention is variously estimated, some
putting it as high as 400, but it Is impossi-
bic to tell accurately as many of the ply
sicians neglected to register. The fullest
attendance and best representation came
from Northern Texas, while the South
ern sections sent four delegates; but all
agree as to success.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April 25.-Lead-
ing Republicans and other citizens here
who have interested themselves in secur-
ing the location of the state Republican
convention here are much agiteted over
reliable reports which reach them from
Galveston to the effect that Galveston is
defraying the expenses of Capt. A Faux
ner of the Houston and Texas Central
railway in his travels over the state in an
effort to work up a sentiment favorable
to the Island City for the coming place of
the nominating body. It is alleged Gal
weston IS object in this matter is two
fold, viz; desire to entertain the con-
vention and at the same time impress on
the national congI ess if possible the be-
lief that Galveston is the headquarters
and the mecca of Texas Republicanism,
hoping by this means to secure the pas
sage of the Galveston appropriation bill
through the house at Washington. The
people here are confident, despite GAL
weston IS latest tactical move, of securing
the Republican state convention.

ADVERTISING A SCIENCE.

The Experience of a Big Firm-Tell the Truth
in Advertising.
Nobody has tried more different
kinds of advertising than we have, -
said Mr.. Chambers of the firm of Rogers,
Peet & Co., few days ago, "or tried
the different kinds more thoroughly, but
we have settled down now to regular
newspaper advertising, and believe that,
for a permanent business, that alone
pays. We were the first to use the sails
OF vessels in the harbor as an advertising
medium. Then we got up the alphabet
puzZle and gave away half q million
puzzles while the craze lasted. After
ward we invented the Waterbury watch
idea. We had to do something, because
three of our principal competitors had
failed and their stocks were being sold
for next to nothing by assignees, so we
decided tc give Waterbury watch with
every SD worth of goods purchased. We
advertised the watches wound and set.
To wind them fast enough we had to rig
up little machine worked like a sewing
machine that would do the winding, and
we kept several boys at work winding and
setting them. Before we quit We had

ordinary newspaper advertising. The
fact is there has come to be in this city q
class of advertisement readers, just as
there is of news readers. They read the

course, the man who wants to attract
them has to get up an advertisement

DALLAS, Tex, April %, 1890. }
The flood gates of the upper regions
were opened up here about IL O'Clock
To-day, and for forty minutes there was
poured upon Dallas and the surrounding
country deluge without precedent
in the history of the city. at first
it was straight downpour, but the calm
soon gave way to a wind that came well
nigh being a genuine tornado. Rivers
ran through the streets, overtaxing the
sewers and flooding sidewalks, cellars
and ground floors on the lower grades.
In many places trees were blown down :,
newly sodded terraces washed into the
cutters and street car and railroad
tracks buried beneath masses of mud, or
else rendered insecure by having gullles
washed through the roadbed.
Over in Oak Cliff the residence of W.
E. Danforth was struck by lightning and
Mrs. Danforth rendered insensibie, for
the time being, from the shock. The
stoveplpe and stove were knocked out Of
position and badly shaken up, but no
other serious damage resulted.

court was in session in the Alliance build
ing. The clouds looked so black, por-
tentious and threatening that it was
thought best to adjourn until CLOCK.
The water stands several feet deep in
number of houses in the low ground
south of Commerce street and west of
the Santa Fe tracks.
Much damage is also reported on
streets torn up and being improved, and
washouts are also reported on the Mis-
souri,. Kansas ana Texas between here
and Denton.
The Trinity is booming and rising very
rapidly. II is now all over the bottoms
and fully mile wide.
A force of men are at work on the Oaks
Cliff rapid transit railway bridge weishkSy
ing it down in anticipation of the EfFer
rising to such a height as to placeat in
danger of being swept away.
1t is not easy to learn the full extent
of the damage of the storm IL this kity,
but it will amount to several thousand
dollars.
The farmers of the surrounding country
are also heavy sufferers. a.
Should the Trinity rise to high water
mark, as many predict it will before to-
morrow, much damage will result below
this city. A further rise of eight feet will
bring it up to the highest mark.
One man, market gardener, said
rise of few feet more will infiict loss
upon him of over $1,000, and he says
further that every farmer in the valley
will suffer severe loss as well as him
self.
1t is still raining and likely to continue
to do so during the night. The water
works engine is again submerged, and
the city has to once more depend on
Browder Springs for its supply.

Editor Gazette:
''And Jesus came and spoke unto them, say
ing. all power Is given unto me in heaven and in
earth.'' This saying of the son Of man puts as
at once at the fountain head OF all questions on
dynamics, and all things that are accomplished
By power are for his glory and praise, or should
be.
In discussing all questions OF dynamics, there
is but one main idea desired ((though other
ideas are importantly and that Is the tractive
power of the force applied.
To illustrate the tractive force Of the locomo-
tive would not be OF material benefit were it
not for the fact of its connection with the tract
i've power Of the machine. Take away the tract
i've power and all interest would at once be lost
in its tractive force, simply from the fact il
ygcoid be of no use to the human family.
The main idea in all dynamical questions is,
therefore, of what use is 1t?
SFhere is much force in nature yet unappIied
b man, notwithstanding the energies of the
Nineteenth century have unveiled many things
in nature which have hitherto been regarded as
myths by the multitude, and which certainly
mark it as the most progressive century of the
world so far as history has informed Us.
Watts gave US the first ideas of the force of
steam, but Stephenson gave it its broad field of
usefulness.

Water power and steam were the most prou1i-

field of operation. and the half has never vet

The Chicago Single Tax Club Discuss the
Question of a Change.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 25.-The discus
sion of the petition addressed to Hon.
Carroll d. Wright, United States COM
missioner of labor, occupied the Chicago
single tax club last night. The petition,
which was unanimously adopted, asked
that an investigation be made with re-
ference to a change in the system of
taxation which would exempt all pro-
ducts of labor from direct or indirect
taxation, substituting these for single
tax on the value of land exclusive of
Improvements. This inquiry to be made
with view of establishing the probable
effects of such change, having especial
regard for effects in opening up the
natural opportunities for labor and
capital, on wages and business prosper
ity, on the distribution of wealth, etc.
A letter was read by President W. W.
Bailey in which Commissioner Wright
intimated that he was willing to under
take such an investigation.
