of DR.. Francis T. auckland. He put a
rat into cage with a snake of that spe-
cies, and it was killed after plucky
fight. Upon examining the skin of the
dead rat Immediately afterward he
found two very minute punctures, like
small needle holes. where the fangs of the
cobra had entered. The flesh seemed al
ready to have actually mortified in the
neighborhood of the wound. Anxious
to find out if the skin was affected, DR..
auckland scraped away the hair from
it with his finger nail.
Then he threw the rat away and start

yards before. all of sudden, he felt as

struck him a severe blow on the head
and neck. At the same time he expert

Kaufman Democrats.

Gpeclal 10 the Gazette
KAUFMAN, TEX, Feb. GA regular
meeting of the Kaufman Democratic club
was held in the courthouse at S O'Clock D.
IL on the evening of the 22ud. Byron
Drew. editor OF the Kaufman Sun, was
elected chairman Of the meeting. Judge
Sawnie Robertson Of Dallas was present
by accident, and after the usual prelimi-
narieS, was called upon for 4 speech, and
responded in 4 two hours talk He started
out by asking the question, who are
Democrats2' ~ and in answering which ques
ton Judge Robertson discussed at length
Dir JeffersOn's ideas OF the powers con-
tanned in the constitution OF the United
States, saying that Mr.. Jeherson's views
was the birth of Democracy, and they were
that congress had no powers except what
was given it in the constitution, and that
Mr. Hamilton, who was the founder of the
old Wing party, held that the adoption Of
The constitution by the states made the
United States q nation, and that in its gov
eminent was Ceutered all power, and that
congress did not have to look TO the consti-
tuition for its authority to make laws.
Judge Robertson said the constitution of
the United States was the power of attor-
ney handed to congress by the states, and
that il went further than granting to that
body certain powers, but It said that all the
powers that were not given to congress
were retained in the states, that the section
not given to congress was suggested
by the legislature of Kentucky before that
stste was admitted into the Union, and
that MIR. Jefferson drafted the same as
an amendment TO the constitution, and
Il was adopted. Judge Robertson then
discussed the state convention, stating that
It's powers were all negative, that the peo-
pie when they met in their state legislature
had all power, except such as were
taken from them by the constitution But
that with congress and the constitution Of
the United States it was not so, that the
negative power did not appear in that in
strument, and that no Democrat could claim
sny power for congress that was not OK
pressly given TO it by the constitution.
Judge Robertson discussed the article in
the Federal constitution on the coinage of
money and regulation Of weights and meas
nres and that it was the only article in the
constitution which referred TO money. He
then spoke of Harry Tracy and his gang as
Gstti-fogers and being unworthy of belief
when they claimed TO be democrats and at
the same time advocated the issuing of
money by the government Snd loaning the
baRs TO the people on the sub-treasury

Kilgore's Moves.

An amendment to the Indian appropria-
ton bill was made by Mr.. Kilgore to-day
providing that Indian schools henceforth
should be located only on tribal reserva-
tions, and that outside schools, as at Car
Isle and Hampton, should be closed and
the property sold as soon as those students
now in attendance should finish their
course. The amendment is not only in the
interest of economy, but is calculated to
better the condition of that race. Mr..
Kilgore also moved the repeal of a previous
appropriation bill which granted nearly
three millions of dollars to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations for lands south of
the Canadian river now occupied by the
Cheyennes ard -Arapahoes. The money
was given by the last congress but has
never been paid over, and the president,
who is opposed to paying it, alluded to the
matter in a recent message. He also said
that the lands in question included Greer
county. which was claimed by Texas.
Kilgore is of the opinion that the red
skins have already been paid for these
identical lands, and he looks upon the
$1,000, 600 appropriation as a treasury raid,
but his motion was ruled out of order by
Speaker pro TEN Mcmillan. 1t will be
many DAY, however, before the money is
given up,

WATERFRONT, PARKER COUNTY, TEX,
Feb. 24.-The political pot begins to simmer
a little more vigorously than a few days
since. The Clark and Hogg men are begin
ming TO argue loud on the street corners.
and opinions are freely expressed for and
against each candidate. If this county is
an index to the sentiment of the entire
state, it may be safely said that the dark
horse is just now in high clover, as it would
appear neither candidate will ever be able
to get two-thirds of the delegates.
Interest in the election of a mayor for
the city is also increasing. So far we have
as avowed candidates George P. Levy, J.
5. Hutchinson and f. a. Leach. each with 4
strong following. There are, however. a
great number Of citizens who are not salts
ned with either of the candidates, ana THE
GAZETTE correspondent has it from a re-
liable source that next week call will be
made for the citizens to gather en- masse
and name candidate whom they will sup
port for the chief executive of this fair CITY.
There has also been some ''switchingn
done by candidates for county ofices. It
is said that Tax Collector Holland, instead
of running for reelection to the office he
now holds will offer for county Judge. and
that j. E. B. Stuart, instead of running for
county Judge, will offer for tax collector.

LIBERTY, LIBERTY COUNTY. TEX, Feb.
24-On the evening Of the 23rd between
Houston and Dayton three sharpers, or
bunco steerers, wheeled an unknown party
into a game of cards and won Sl95
from him. As soon as they reached
Dayton they left the cars. The man
then reported it 10 the conductor. When
the train reached Liberty the conductor
notified the sheriff, who, with MIR. W. 3.
Duncan, constable, boarded the 3 O'Clock
train and returned to Dayton, thinking that
the men would take the next train back to
Houston. When the train reached Dayton, as
was supposed, two well-dressed men who
answered the description given attempted
to get on the train. Mr.. Duncan arrested
one before he got aboard, but the other,
lodging the officers, got into the sleeper
before he was detected After
the arrest was made, Mr.. Defiance, sheriff,
telegraphed to the conductor Of the train to
notify the man who had been swindled that
the men were arrested. He replied that if
the sheriff would get the money, that was
all he wanted. and if obtained he could re-
tain one-half the amount recovered. The
bunco steerers, after some parley, turned
the money over to the sheriff.

the stake,'' "Such treatment is none too
good for him. That IS the punishment
which the people of Sedalia demand to be
melted out to the negro outlaw who last
night startled the town with his extraordi-
nary crimes.
About O'Clock last evening a negro with
his face concealed behind white mask en-
tered the house of Mrs. Mary Moore, a
widow, aged sixty-fve years, choked
her almost TO unconsciousness, stole
a few valuables out of the house, and
escaped. A little later he held up p. 81.
Buckley and Miss Matte Gilker, and Miss
Gilker fed in one direction while Buckley
fed in another. The negro pursued the
woman and threw his arms around her
neck. and with the butt Of q revolver
struck her on the head, telling her to
the ground. Buckley recovered himself
and ran to his companions assistance.
Other pedestrians appeared at that moment,
but the negro escaped. A half hour later,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Taylor started
home from the residence of II. g. Clark,
where they had been attending an entertain
meut, they were confronted by a negro high
wayman who held q dirk in one hand and
revolver in the other. ''Hold up your
hands, commanded the highwayman. Be-
ing unarmed, Taylor obeyed the injunction
and the thief went through his pockets.
After securing all the booty he could lind
in Mr. Tayloris pockets the highwayman
turned his attention TO Mrs. Taylor. Hav-
ing secured all the valuables of his victims,
he stepped behind them, and with
a drawn revolver marched them to lonely
spot. There too from his pocket rope,
and with it bound Taylor hand and foot,
and seizing tine trembling wife led her away.
Within hearing of Mr.. Taylor desperate
struggle took place between Mrs. Taylor
and the negro. The brute's strength made
rim master. and, having accomplished his
purpose, brought Mrs. Taylor back
10 the place where her husband was bound
The negro then cut the cords that held the
husband a captive, and with oaths COM
manded the couple to 60 home.
Mrs Taylor Is not dangerously
injured. The police are unable
TO find any trace Of the desperate. Search
was kept up all day, but no clew has been
