BIG FOOT WALLACE.
HOW HARBOR ISLAND ESCAPED THE
HANDS OF A SYNDICATE.


HANDS OF A SYNDICATE.
SAN ANTONIO, July 11.-Just year
ago congress granted to Uriah Lott
aud others of Texas and New York,
composing syndicate Of capitalists, a
franchise to deepen the channel OF
Arkansas Harbor at their own expense.
Nothing has been done so far by the
syndicate towards beginning the work
and today committee, consisting of
w. G. Belcher and T. H. Matthias, ar
rived from Rockport to inquire into
the intention of the syndicate. They
come on the part of newly organized
navigation company and request that
the. congressional franchise be trans
ferred to them, or that they go to
work. Should the syndicate decline
congress will be petitioned to forfeit
the franchise and grant an appropria-
ton.
Their reason for not beginning the
work is that they were disappointed in
securing from the state the right to
Harbor Island, just off the Texas coast,
as basis for raising money, While
they were preparing to obtain this
right from the state, which owned all
the islands on the coast, the famous
Indian fighter. Big Foot Wallace, OBJ
tanned certificate for 1880 acres O
land from the state for old lndia1
claims, aud filed it on the most eligibl
portion of HnrbOr Island.

Contagiousness of Diseases.

Among the practical questions con
nected with the subject of contagiou
diseases is one which relates to thu
length of the period of special exposure
The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal says that the contagiousness O
measles, mumps and whooping cougl
disappears with the patients recovery
that there is probably no danger OF hi
conveying the disease to Others TO
about a week after he himself was ex
posed to it-that is to say, during thu
so called period of incubation; ant
that the contagiousness of measles doe
not extend beyond a fortnight.

MAN AGAINST LION.
Struggle of BideI, the Famous Lion Train
er. with His African, Sultan.


Struggle of BideI. the Famous Lion Train.
er, with His African, Sultan.
The professional career OF Bidel, the
famous lion trainer, was one of won
derful courage, force and perseverance.
1t was characteristic of the man that
when great physical exertion became
impossible to him, he devoted his ener-
giles to forming mutual aid associa-
ton among men Of callings similar to
his own. The beginning of the end of
BidePs practice of his profession was a
terrible struggle with his African lion
Sultan, of which he gives a thrilling
description in his autobiography.
"After my performance at Neuilly, F."
he says, "my wife and I were to drive
to Asnieres and take possession of our
house there. l, who had started with
so little, was to realize one of my dear
est dreams. l was to cease to be a
wanderer, and to possess at last home
of my own. I longed for the evening
to pass. The performance would last
less than an hour"
But the most perilous moments of
Bidel's life were to intervene before he
started for Asnieres He entered the
cage as usual. The first, second, third
and fourth lions and two white bears
were brought forward, then returned
to their cages, and he was left face to
face with Sultan. Sultan was never
good humored.
'This evening"" writes the trainer,
IT saw at once that he was uncom-
monty savage. AS usual I presented
the gate He crouched in a corner,
refusing to leap.
81 cracked my whip. He growled.
I continued to urge him. He growled
more angrily, showed his teeth, and
dashed the air with his tail. Suddenly
I was seized with an intolerably sharp
twinge of rheumatism. My left leg
tortured me. What should I do-re-
treat2 l did not consider it for a mo-
ment. I should fight. I took step
forward. Another sharp pain seized
me, bent my left knee, and l fell.
'"Then | doubted not that it was all
over with me. The tanner fallen is the
tanner conquered. With one bound

my chest, cutting my flesh, scratching
my face, tearing Inc. I did not cry
out. | knew the necessity of being
calm; the slightest false movement and

fury, his mouth open; seized his
throat, and with all my strength twist

his muscles relaxed.
Suddenly he turned his head. Two
of my employees, the brave aid faithful

cage and were attacking the lion with
an iron bar. l lifted myself, half rose,

ture forced him to return to his cage.

The Kar sas Alliance Leaders.

ST. LOUIS, July ia special dis
patch from Topeka, Kan, says the
Alliance leaders in Kansas are greatly
chagrined and worried at the action OF
certain leaders of the Southern Alli-
ance in calling the Fort Worth, Tex,
convention to resolve against the sub
treasury idea. They claim that it is a
scheme of Southern Democrats to
break up the Alliance, and that prom
inent Democratic congressman are al
the bottom OF it. The Kansas leaders
fear this action is but the beginning
of movement that will disrupt their
organization in Kansas, as thousands
of Republicans who affiliated with the
Peoples party last year would follow
the course of their Southern brethren
and go back to their old party.

BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION.
BRONCHITIS.

Bronchitis is disease of the mucous mem
brane of the air passage, and Is one Of the most
common OF the pulmonary affections Chronic
bronchitis more often appears later in 9ife.
When cold settles on the lungs the disease
either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. If it
ends in bronchitis 1t usually passes off as cold
on the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and languid, and
is incapable of taking his usual amount of
exercise and experiences shOrtness of breath
with more or less warmth in the pa,ms of the
hands. Soon after this cough appears, ac-
companied by an expectoration of thick mu
cous, followed by q hectic flush, loss of flesh
and strength, and night sweats continue when
the patient assumes all the appearance of hav
ing genuine case of consumption. But this
is simply catarrh OF the lungs or chronic bron-
chitis.
The patient usually dies from exhaustion
and suffocation, being unable to expectorate
the mucous which accumulates in the passage
leading to the lungs, which in some cases is
sticky and small in quantity, but more COM
monty copious, of II. light straw or yellowish
green.
Dry Bronchitis This disease, the very oppo-
site OF the above, is a very common affection.
quite healthy, are today under its influence,
and are slowly but surely becoming the vic
tins of this treacherous complaint. This is
the most insidious of all pulmonary diseases.
There may at first be a slight. hacking cough
and an expectoration of a blush white mu-
cous. And herein lies the danger. This mu-
cous, lnhabiting the air cells of the lungs, be-
ing difficult to raise, after time becomes
solidifed, permanently Obstructing portions OF
the lungs. causing shortness of breath and
feeling of oppression on the chest, particularly
after meals or on slight exertion. After time
the cough becomes more severe and comes on
in paroxysms, and as the shortness Of breath in.
creases it almost assumes the character of
asthma The mucous membrane also be-
comes more and more thickened, which arises
from the frequent fresh colds, and the patient
at last becomes fully aware of the terrible
changes that have taken place and the newt
able results that are to follow.
Without courage and perseverance nothing is
curable, but with these, aided with our Medi-
Gated Limitations and Compound Oxygen
Treatment, Bronchitis can be cured even after
the lungs are extensively diseased.
