The Wrong Man.

Here is Il story which may involve
prominent Southern railway in
heavy damages. A Kentuckian, who
had been drinking heavily, asked the
colored porter at what hour Coving-
ton would be reached.
1.-TWO o'clock ter morer mornin',
answered the darkey.
WAL" said the traveller, I've
been drinking pretty freely. When
we git thar put me off. When you
come to call me you may find mere
monstrative and fighting drunk, but
there are two dollars for you to pay
for all injuries Mind, now, | want
to get off at Covington-you under
stand -
Guess | do, boss" said Jeff, as he
pocketed the bride. Don't matter
how yer kickoff yer goes-sure."
At six o'clock next morning, as the
train was entering Cincinnati, the
big Kentuckian awoke. He grabbed
his gripsack, and with fire in his eye
he sought the negro, who was stand
ing at the extreme end OF the
aisle. When jeff saw the man he
turned almost white, and his eyes
dilated until the pupils stood out like
butter plates.
Didn't | give you two dollars to
put me off ut Covington, hey?' Missed
the traveller between his teeth.
'Sartain sure; honest fac" ac,
quiesced the darkey. But" he
queired, as the perspiration started
out all over him, who was the gem
men we did throw off at Covington
He kicked wusser nor u mule.

Chemists Idea Of Wine.

We have heard great deal OF the superior
excellence OF Speers y. j. Wine, and OF it's
being adopted in European hospitals in pref
erence TO their own wines. The most scien
tific men OF this country and liquor assayers
appointed by state government, pronounce
1t a most valuable article for sickness. We
cannot write more on this subject, but pub
lish the following card, which speaks for
itself:
POLAND. FEB. /.
The undersigned, having become practi CAL
ly acquainted with the Wine produced by
Alfred Speer. OF New Jersey, would say that
he considers II superior article, and far
preferable to the quality OF port wine gener-
ally furnished in this market.

A New Departure.

Tomorrow morning the Maison Dore restaurant will open under new management while the Fashion Chop House will close it's doors. The mean ing of this is that the Hasler Brothers will Tn future run the Maison Dore, A. Tuquet retiring.
 It will really mean the consolidation of the two restaurants under the charge of the present proprietors of the Fashion. "Jakey" who has been the king pin at the Fashion will look after the Maison Dore and Miss Katie Walsh will grace the dining room with her presence. The house will keep open 365 nights in the year and noth- ing will be left undone to make the Maison Dore the most popular place of it's kind in the southwest. Tomor- row being New Years day, d magnii- cent repast will be served. Prepara- tions for the multitude of people who will dine there are being made and the energetic managers will leave nothing undone to start off the new year with the right foot forward.

A Vestibure Live Stock Train

A limited vestibule live stock train is the latest idea in live stock trans- portation. A company with large cap- itol has been organized to build and operate the lines after the same man. ner which the Pullman company oper- ates over roads. The first distinctive feature of the cars is that they are made wholly of iron and steel. The only wood in them is few narrow slots on the sides. The roof is arched like passenger coach, and under the arched roof, running the whole length of the train of thirty cars, is a haymow carrying hay enough for the ninety hour trip from Montana to Philadel. phia. Running through the center of the car and suspended from the roof is a passage, through which man can go f.om oue end of the train to the other while it is under full speed. By that means the hay racks in front of the cattle can be kept full all the time and the cattle carefully watched without the necessity of any halt. In front of each animal is steel watering-trough holding ten gallons. That turns up against the side of the car when not in use. A steel tank at the end of the car is filled with water every eight hours at the railway pumping stations. The whole train can be watered by two men in thirty minutes.

WHY WAS GRANT GREAT.
Due Recognition When True Merit Is
 Once Established.

Was Grant a great general ?-conceded. What made him so?
 When U. s. Grant was hauling cord wood into St. Louis his neighbors did not imagine he would become the most famous man of his generation. When he was managing the little tannery in Galena no one of his ,timates recog- nized in him future hero. But he dis played qualities which should have satis- fed them he was no common man. What was there about him?
 If you start to build a single story shanty you pay little attention to the foundation; you may lay stringers in the sand, with little fear the building will fall. But if you propose erecting . ten story block, your architect will tell you you must go to the rock for the basis of your foundation, or the stately structure is liable to tumble about your ears. The foundation of great man is moral force-the character; this is the rock foundation. The shiftless man lacks it ; he never succeeds. Grant never used an oath--a sure indication of moral character. He never told, or listened to, if he could help it, Q vulgar story; this showed peculiar moral fibre, an unusual strength of character. He was man of opinions-as his wife said, was obstin- ate; in other words, he had will power, force.
 These qualities, with good judgment, we'll balanced mental powers, and pecu' liar executive ability, supplemented by g military education, fitted him for the emergency, when it came. AS soon as his merits became known, success was assured. This is always the case, with things as with men. 'I well know the value of Warner's Safe Cure," writes M Carr, of the Hotel Bennett, Binghamton, N. Y. In 1884 had difficulty with my kidneys. The doctors did not help me 1 was badly out of rig. One day travel ing man, from Utica advised me to try Warmers Safe Cure. The first bottle did so much good that when my family doc tor called threw his medicine out of the window, while he was present. I con, tinued to use Warner's Safe Cure until was entirely we'll"
 The test of merit is the accomplish ment of the matter in hand. The best is that which is most certain.

GOOD NEWS.
Cattlemcn Can Cross the Limo Without Papers From the
 Custom House.

The strained relations which have been growing more stringent between Mexico and the United States have been broken as far as Arizona and the state of Sonora are concerned, by a meeting of two diplomats of ordi- nary caliber-General Fenochio and John Slaughter-the former chief of the frontier guards and the latter sheriff of this county.
 a There was no Brussels carpet on the floor, champagn on ice, private sec- retaries and red tape, but a good old frontier Hello Cap" and Howdy do John" and an adios, and to-day the result was announced in the following telegram to Sheriff Slaughter:
 GUAYMAs, Dec. 30, 1890. To J. H. Slaughter, Sheriff, Tomb stone, A. IT,
 Col. Fenochio, Chief of Frontier
 
 Guards has today issued orders to hls men to allow cowboys to cross the line with horse and saddle in search for stock. They must not dispose of the outfit. Inform cattlemen of the frontier. I arranged this yesterday.
 A. WILLARD.
 This means that no papers will be necessary hereafter in crossing the line as has been the rule since the Mckinley bill. This order applies to cattlemen in search of stock which may have been lost or stolen. It will be remembered that but few weeks ago one of the Erie Cattle Co.'S men was captured across the line and taken to Arispe, where his horse and saddle were confscated and himself thrown into prison and afterwards released on bonds. It was at this time that the negotiations began, to stop such abuse O! power that brought about the pres- ent order. It will be received by cat. tlemen with great rejoicing all along the border.

Sha nkIim's Feelings.

Dan Shanklin spent restless night in the county jail last night. He sent for Dr. Huse last night and was quiet ed by hypodermic injection. He has nothing to say regarding the killing with the exception of that he is sorry that he did it, but that it is done and it cannot be helped now. His condi- tiOn is such that he cannot live Very long, anu his wheezing can be heard for lone, distance. He has eaten mo- thing since yesterday morning with exception of q cup of coffee.

Death Uf ssoctor Willis.

l
 Doctor Willis breathed his last at 5.3O o'clock yesterday evening at his residence. His devoted wife was with him in his last moments. This sud- den taking off has cast gloom over the entire community, and the sympa- thy of every one goes to the widow and children. Doctor Willis came to Tombstone several years ago and has held many positions of trust. He has been county physician two different terms and took great pride in the county hospital and grounds. He was man of very positive likes and dis likes. His friends were firm ones, and he often remarked that he had but few friends. but preferred to make few and have them true ones than to make luke-warm friends of every body. He was a man who was not intended for frontier life. The repeated warning he had received from friends to beware of his slayer were not needed, and had the same threats been made against most any other person the result would have been different. He was visited by Shanklin the day previous to the killing and told by him that if he did not pay him the money due him from the old Guard Company by 12 o'clock yesterday that he would kill him; even this last threat did not seem to trouble him, and when Shank lin walked leisurely up to the buggy in front of the Doctor, the latter did not show any signs of fear.
 The remains of the murdered man will be embalmed and further arrange ments for the interment will not be made until the arrival of the brother of Mrs. Willis from New York.

A Word ABOUT Dress Goods and
What Is TO BE- Worn.

It is safe to say that Dress Goods
is a subject that is nov agitating the
minds Of the trading public in view
Of the approaching autumn season.
Doubtless many are perusing the
leading fashion magazines and &C.
quaintlng themselves with the best
information as to what will be worn,
the cost CT the goods, etc, so that
good taste and economy will be hap
PLY blended. Adaptability is one of
the prerequisites Of dress. O~tcourse
what would suit one lady would not
suit another. This idea has been
fully carried out in the selection of
our Dress Goods for the fall trade.
Attend our opening on Monday, Sep
TENDER 81, and see if the correct
things in Dress Goods will not be
shown in the way of rich Plalds and
Stripes, and attractive things in
rough effects which are now in vogue
Polka Dots, Camels' Hair, English
serges, Bedford Cords, Diagonals,
Fancy Robes, Broad cloths, Plain
Henriettas, etc. Over 100 dress pat
terms, positively no two alike. With
confidence we believe our stock will
please you and a hearty welcome is
extended to attend our opening.

COURTESY REPAID.
How Kindness to a Northern Stranger Was
Richly RecOmpensed.

The following from Wilson, on the
Chronicles special wire, is the biggest
lie of the season: Last fall a wealthy
northern gentleman visited Rocky Mount.
He was very fond of hunting and Mr.. G.
Ii. Harris, who for sometime last fall was
an auctioneer for the Wilson warehouse
and is the ex-edftor of the Rocky Mount
Plain Dealer, kindly lent the stranger his
dogs and showed him numerous courtc
sizes. The stranger dropped dead on
Monday and when his will was opened it
was found that he had bequeathed Mr..
Harris one hundred thousand dollars for
courtesies and favors shown him, to be
paid by his executors in United States
currency. Mr.. Harris left to-day to get
the money.
