Brice Urges General Democratic Organiza-
ton into Clubs-Minnesota- Democrats.

Break Away From Grover.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July There is good rea-
son for believing that the contest Tor the
speallership of the next house will, within
few days, be given new interest by the
withdrawal of both Mills and Bynum. The
importance of the withdrawal of these can
didates lies in its bearing upon
the candidacy of ex-President Cleve-
land for denomination. 1t would mean
the detection OF the Texas and Indiana
leaders from Cleveland. Perhaps neither
Mills nor Byrum in their announcements of
withdrawal may state definitely, but they
will cause their friends to understand that
they consider Holman the best man for the
free trade and free silver wing of the
Democratic party. With prospect OF CON
1roi OF the next house the inevitable version
of the contest begins to appear, and 1t
takes the form OF pitting the South and
Southwest against the East.
Mills is a candidate for the Texas state
SenatorShip two Years hence. There Is no
doubt he has earned the support of Cleye-
land for both that and the speakership. He
was Cleveland's champion during TWO cam
paignS, aud he and his friends feel very bit
Ter against Cleveland for turning Mills down
now, in favor OF Crisp for speaker.
The withdrawal of Mills will enlist in the
anti-Cleveland combination such Demo-
cratic leaders as Senator Carlisle, who
feels bound 10 Mills for the latter's support
in his celebrated battle for the speakership
against Randall: Bynum of Indiana, ex-Sen-
ator Reagan and Senator Coke of Texas,
Hatch of Missouri, Holman of Indiana and
others.
Mills is still busy writing his forthcom-
ing book Oh the tariff. His first public en-
gagement TO speak is at Fulton, Mo, on
August II, and his friends say that he Will
then make a sensational pronouncement
against Cleveland's ingratitude, Clevelands
selfishness and in favor of Western rather
than Eastern ideas within the Democratic
party upon the question of tariff and fl

PARSONS TEXAS BRIGADE
SURVIVORS MET IN ANNUAL
REUNION YESTERDAY.

Patriotic Address.
Special to the Gazette.

TEMPLE, BELL COUNTY. TEX, July l.
Members of the Parsons Texas brigade
association began to arrive yesterday for
their annual reunion, and to-day the work

of Fort Worth was elected commander for
the ensuing year: Governor Pendleton, first
vice-commander; NJ. 8. Highsmith, second !;
James Coney. third; \. Dickman, secretary !;
w. H. Getzendown. treasurer. The re-
union was cordial indeed, and was intensi-
fed this morning by the presentation of a
banner to the association on behalf of
Temples citizens by Miss Scott Talley.
Her address was patriotic, at the same time
deeply pathetic, and caused tears
to flow from the cheeks of
the veterans, and at its conclusion they
rushed to the sweet girl, grasped her hands
and by unanimous standing vote made her
an honorary member of the association, and
adopted her as the child of the brigade,
after which Capt Veal responded to her ad-
dress in feeling speech.
Our citizens are delighted that the old
soldiers were so well treated here, and that
they left with such kindly feelings.
The association adjourned to meet next
year at Waxahachie.

Syrup"

The majority Of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by limit
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts Of the lungs
which have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in Our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightfu1 rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. .

House Committees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Speaker Crisp
is quoted as saying he could not complete
the organization Of the committees before
Christmas recess, though some of his
frierds think the work can be done in a
few days after he gets started on the
actual work. The failure of the speaker
thus far to announce the committee on
rules was a disappointment, for it was
generally supposed Saturday night would
settle the matter. Many of the leading
Democrats have been urging the speaker
to promptly settle the matter in appoint
ing Messrs. Springer and McMillen on
behalf OF the majority, and Messrs Reed
and Burrows on behalf of the minority,
but until Mr.. Crisp makes up his mind as
to who will head the committee on ways
and means, and appropriations, he can
not overcome some harrassing features
OF the situation. The matter is in a
chaotic state and probably not till Tues
day will Speaker Crisp be able to make
up the committee on rules. The opinion
is strong, however, that Mr.. Mcmillan
will be one of the Democratic members
of this committee.
