Special to the Gazette.
DUBLIN. ERATH COUNTY, Tex. June 30
This morning at about $50 the citizens of
Dublin were awakened by an alarm of fire.
The Trawick hotel was discovered IN flames
and it was evident the entire block of store
buildings would go. In the absence of
waterworbs the fire department was power
less TO check the flames. The parties suf-
fering are as follows:
A. ]. Trawick, insurance on building,
5000: hotel fixtures and furniture $500
household goods, piano, etc., $1,000.
Dublin drGs company, insurance 5000, on
stock.
J. J. McLemore, insurance, two buildings,
$500
Woods & Shofner, saloon, no insurance,
but saved about all their stock and fixtures
The Dublin drug Company perhaps sus-
tain the heaviest loss, not having sufficient
insurance. The balance of the property
was about CO gered.

Keep The Rivers Clean.
COMPTON, CAL, March l6, IS.

COMPTON, GAL, March l6, 1871.
EDITORS HERALD:-I would like
through the columns Of your paper to call
the attention of farmers along the rivers
of the valley, and especially OF those
along the San Gabriel, to the fact that
in almost every case where the river has
left its channel in the last year or two,
it has been done by the carelessness of
the farmers along the river. allowing
willows to grow in the river bed and on
the banks. which gathered trash and
sediment in sufficient quantity to throw
the stream out Of its channel, or
what is worse to cut its bank
on one side or the other, and
after it has once cut the old, solid and
grass sodded bank, it often continues to
cut until it has severely injured farms.
Such thing as the rivers making such
injurious cuts was not known until the
last five or six years, and the cause is
very plain. Up to that time the banks
of the San Gabriel had never been
farmed, but pastured on one or both
sides from the sea for twenty miles, and
the willows were kept browsed off by
stock, and the channel kept clean of
weeds and brush, but when the
Cerritos and Alamitos ranchos
were sold off for farming purposes, the
willows were allowed to grow and the
trouble began. To make it worse, wood
was cut along the banks, and brush fell
into the bed and along the banks, where
it was allowed to remain. During the
winter of 1884, which was the greatest
year for rain, there was no damage done
along the Old or New San Gabriel that
l can recollect, except at New river at
the Ranchito. where the river was
allowed to grow wood for fuel. Now it is
very apparent that one of two things
must be done to protect property along
the line of the rivers flowing through
this valley. The people owning along
it's banks must fence off narrow pastures
along the river and keep cattle in it.
part of the year to keep the channel
clear, or there must be law to make
them keep the channel clear by other
means. However, the farmers ought to
attend to it at once for their own inter
est; for in almost every case the one
who allows the river to be obstructed is
the one who sustains the damage.

In Favor In Paris.

Queen Isabella Of Spain, who has
made Paris her home ever since she was
first, ,exiled from her former kingdom, is
said to have won the favor of the Parish
ans by her dignifed reserve. She is
still thoroughly Spanish in her tastes
and sympathies, and conducts her re-
ceptions at her residence, the Palais de
Castillo, according to the strictest court
etiquette. She is warm-hearted, and
eager to relieve suffering wherever she
finds it, trait which endeared her to
the late Empress Augusta of Germany.
The queen dresses quietly, and although
she owns superb jewels, never wears
them except on state occasions when
great ceremony is demanded. II Harper g

The Druggists

IN Lowell, Mass agree in saying that they sell
mere OF Hoods sarsaparilla than of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
+. G. GooDALE: sell more of Hoods Sarsapa-
r1ila than all other blood purifiers.
A. w. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead Of an
other sarsaparillas.
G. F. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hoods sar-
saparilla than Of any similar.
MARsToN & SHAW: With us the sale OF Hoods
Is to of any other kind.
F. & E. BAILEY & Co.. Hoods sarsaparilla ID
one OF the best medicines.
CARLTON & HovEY Hoods Sarsaparilla is one
OF the best medicines we have. Its sale increases
every year.
F.P. Moody: We sell twice as much Of Hoods
sarsaparilla as of anything similar.
G. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular sarsa-
parilla Of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue II the medicine
did not possess merit. And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections of
the country that Hoods Sarsaparilla is a good,
reliable medicine.

He Insisted on Trying 1t, So His Pa

A young doctor in Piscataquis County
has covered himself with glory by intro
duclng a startling and novel feature in
medics, says the Lewiston Journal.
1t appears that q woman in that county
got fish bone far enough down in her
throat to scare her into Mysteries, but not
far enough down to feel entirely COM
Portable. The aforesaid young physician
was nearest at hand and was summoned
in hurry. He looked the patient over
carefully and wisely and started for the
woodshed. There was the handle of a
bow-whip in a corner. With this in hand
he made tracks for the patient. To the
anxious husband he made known that he
was going to come the ramrod act and
shove that refractory bone where it prop
erly should go.
The man objected, and so did the
woman, more enthusiastically.
I'm the first place." said the former,
THAT handle is too large"
"Oh, We'll fix that easily enough"
confidently predicted the doctor; "rll
just saw the handle off up at this fer

But even this delicate concession did
not suit the scrupIes of the refractory
husband. "I've heern tell of duin' that

But doc couldn't, and another physi-
clan was hunted up, who removed the
bone without recourse to ramrods.

MEN DESTROYERS IN INDIA
Killing Wild Beast Which Was the
Talk of India NewSpaners

1t is well known that about twenty-five
thousand people year fall prey TO the
wild beasts of India. The larger part OF
these victims are killed by tigers and
venomous snakes which are met in the
jungle. AS a rule the victims of these
tragedies are guilty of great carelessness.
With care the danger of wild beasts
might, in the majority of these cases, be
aVerted.
An animal, which has for some months
been written about a great deal in the In
dian newspapers, has, at last, succumbed,
having met his well-deserved fate on
June 7th. He proved TO be full-oroWn
leopard, probably about four years old.
lie had lurked around the villages in the
edge of the jungle, for months, watching
for his prey, and at last fifteen people
were killed by him, including several
adults as well as children. 1t was hard
work TO kill him, and he hurt three peo-
pie badly before he was incapacitated for
further harm. This is the way he met
his fate:
He had been lowering round camp of
Busahiri during the night of June 5th,
but was Kept Oft by five large sheep dogs.
In the morning of the 7th a woman saw
him III some long grass near the bunga-
low, and, taking him for large Jungle

him over the head with heavy stick,
and, other people coming up, the leopard
let go and ran into garden near the bun
galoW. The woman was found to have
two claw wounds on her chest and six
deep bites on her left arm
By this time some twenty persons had
assembled, and went into the garden in
search of the beast. a syce in the service
Of the assistant commissioner declared he
believed it was only jackal, but the
words were hardly out of his mouth
when the leopard, which had been hid
ing under a stone, charged straight at the
syce with roar, knocking him down
and wOunding him badly. He is badly
clawed on both arms. behind the right
ear, and bitten on the scalp, and would
certainly have been killed had not a man
named NaZina run in and driven q hog
spear clean through the Ieopard's body.
The brute left the syce snd tried to work
itselfup the shaft of the spear to get at
his new assailant, but it only succeeded
ih tearing his clothes. Nazina escaped
unhurt. A mistri ran in to club it, but
got clawed on the chin for his pains, Ma
zina holding on his spear all the time.
BY this time the others, who had bolted
when the leopard charged, returned, and
the leopard was dubbed to death.
