A PREMEDITATED SHOWER,

Readers of the INTELLIGENCER will re-
call how suddenly the shower which fell
here a week G yesterday came up and
passed off, coming from the west and fol-
lowing the course of the river to the east.
1t seems, from the following press telc-
gram, that the shower was p~remeditated,
and, coming from Kansas City, was sent
to fall upon the just, also:

there was not a cloud to be seen anywhere,
but ut $3.50 it was pouring down rain, with
heavy wind and thunder. At Z it was
again clear and there was no depression
of the barometer. The observers say that
the rain was purely from local causes, as
there was nothing to indicate it. 1t is
now asserted the rain was due entirely to

THE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT EPISODE,

III OOll oIlnh ONlCIlhDNl bElDUDE,
Lexington has recently experienced some
excitement over a case of corporal punish
ment in the public school. Miss Allen,
one OF the teachers, had a boy in her room
who was quite stubborn and unruly. One
day the lad openly violated the rules of
the school, m the teacher found it neces-
sary to punish him. To this our lad re-
fused to submit, and "began fighting his
teacher" Miss Allen, OF course, was soon
master of the situation, and Il severe whip
ping was the result. The boy came home
with a few strcakS over his back, and the
parents ut once took up his cause. An
investigation before the schoO board fol-
lowed, which resulted in passing II reso-
luton to this effect: THAT discipline in
our public schools under our care is alb
solutcly Indispensable and must be main
tanned Mt all hazards" In our opinion,
the school board acted just right, and SO
did Miss Allen, the teacher. When younp.
America undertakes to fight a teacher in
our public schools, then II severe Cuf
course not crueD thrcshing is strictly in
order. -higginsville Advance.

A Ten Dollar Gold Piece for a Cent.

Some time ago, a gentleman bet
that if he stood at the corner of Broad
way and Fourteenth street, New
York, and offered gold Eagles to the
passers-by for a cent each, he would
find no purchasers. The experiment
was tried, and it turned out just as he
said. No one would believe that the
coins were genuine. 1t seemed to
good to be true. An equally remarka-
BILE offer is that made by the proprie-
tors of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the sovereign cure for con-
sumption. Think of it! restoration
to life and health for mere song.
There is not case of lung-scrofula-
in other words, consnmption-that
will not yield to it, fit is taken in
time. 1t is the greatest blood-purifier
ever known, and is guaranteed
to benefit or cure in all diseases of
the throat and lungs, or money re-
funded. Only extraordinary curative
properties could warrant or sustain
its makers in selling it thus, on trial !!

i.us.c az the Spheres

The origin Of this everyday phrase is
sufficiently interesting to even bear re-
telling To those that already Know it.
Pytha%ogaa, tie Gree; philosopher, whiie
experimenting on the vibrations Of tight
drawn strings, discovered that strings OF
certain len&Jls produced certain notes
He thea illo@ie@ly connected the seven
planets known 1t THAT time with musical
notes for the reason merely that the
radii of the seven spheres, in which, &C,
cording to then existing notions, the
planets We're set, were of unequal length
and therefore (1 produced different notes.
These notes he dubbed the music Of the
spheres" This music was not supposed
to be caused by the friction Of the spheres
in the sockets in which they were set. Us
is now currently thought, but was pro-
duced by the vibrations of their unequal
radii.-N New York Recorder.

Special to The Statesman.
DEL RIO, Tex, Oct. 22.-Ihe full
details of the capture of the South
ern Pacific train robbers reached here
today. Joe Sitter struck the trail at
place near Juno Tuesday and leav-
ing Frank Bendle behind to inform
the rangers who were following on
the trail he proceeded on in hot pursuit
after the robbers. The posse caught
sight of the robbers yesterday evening
at 3 O'Clock at distance of 800 yards
in deep canyon on the Live Oak
near Grierson Springs in Crockett
county. They were not suspecting
any pursuit and were proceeding
leisurly in the direction of the Texas
and Pacific, which road they are
thought to have had designs upon.
The posse approached unseen to with
in 100 yards Of the men, when the
pack horse of the robbers took fright
and made dash which caused the
men to look back and discover the
pursuers.
Capt. Jones ordered a charge and
running fight followed. Langsden
soon weakened and gave up, and
Tom Fields soon afterwards, finding
himself hard pressed, surrendered.
wellington and Flint ran several
miles, when the formers horse was
shot from under him. He left the an
imal and took up the side of the noun
tain, but Capt. Jones was right upon
him and cut off his retreat, whereupOn
he surrendered. Flint ran at full
speed distance of ten miles,
firing back upon his pursuers
as he went. The fire was returned
and he was mortally wounded, being
shot in his left breast. He fell Off his
horse, and sitting up in the road
coolly produced pencil and paper
and wrote a will, bequeathing his
effects to his brother. He then pulled
a pistol from his belt and blew his
brains out as the rangers came up.
Sixty or seventy dollars in gold coin
were found in belt around his body.
Langsden had about $500 in green
backs in his vest pocket when
searched. A sack on the pack horse
contained $500 in Mexican silver.
Flint's body was carried eight miles
and was then buried. The posse az
rived at Comstock, this county, today
with their prisoners, and will so west
on tonight's train to FL Paso.
Sheriff l<ieffer went up today with
warrants for the men, but Captain
Jones refused to deliver them to him.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Sitter has hunted
this gang with a bloodhound, and has
hung on their trial with bull dog
tenacity for more than week.
