THE TEXAS PRESS.

In the city of Dallas, on Tuesday
morning, the 9th instant, the Four
teenth annual convention of the Texas
Press Association was assembled in
the spacious auditorium of the city
hall at that place.
The meeting was called to order by
President Copeland, who introduced
Dr. A. NJ, Cochran, mayor pro tenn Of
Dallas, who delivered the address Of
welcome vice Mayor Connor, who was
unavoidably prevented from dlscharg-
ing that duty. DR.. Cochran gave
brief history of Texas from the status
of an independent republic down to
the present, and expressed himself as
proud of the Lone Star as the bright
est in tee galaxy Of states. He was al
50 proud Of the distinction Of address
ing 80 distinguished body as the
press association. He said they COM
pared very favorably with any conven-
tion he had ever addressed, and GER
tainly with the press association Of
any other state. The press he
said was entitled to credit as
the greatest agency in the de-
velopment of Texas. lie dwelt on the
fertility Of the soil, the salubrity
of the climate, the treasures Of miner
al wealth and the industry and snap
Of the people of Texas, and forecasted
a grand future for state of such IL
limitable possibilities. lie said: "May
she never grow less" lie welcomed
the editors in the name of the council
and on behalf of the citizens generally
and hoped they would remain over to
witness the most important event in
the history of north Texas, namely
the celebration Of the arrival of the
Harvey, the first through boat via the
Trinity from Galveston, which will
occur within few days.
Upon the close of the convention in
Dallas, this important body Of repre-
sentative citizens of Texas, will pass
through Texarkana, en-route to at
tend the Worlds Fair, at Chicago.

Physicians Have Found Out

That communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indi-
gestion, is the cause Of rheumatism.
This settles upon the sensitive SUBJ
cutaneous coverings OF the muscles
and ligaments of the joints, causing
constant and shifting pain, and aggre-
eating as calcareous, chalky deposit
which produces stiffness and distor-
ton of the joints. No fact, which ex-
perience has demonstrated in regard
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has
stronger evidence to support than
this, namely, that this medicine of
comprehensive uses checks the formi-
dablc and atrocious disease, nor is it
less positively established that it is
preferable to the poisons often used to
arrest it, since the medicine contains
only salutary ingredients. IL is also a
signal remedy for malarial fevers, con-
stipation, dyspepsia, kidney and blad-
der ailments, debility and other disor-
ders. See that you get the genuine.

The South Recognized.

TO those who have been engaged in
uttering complaints because of fail
ure on the part of the new administra-
tion TO recognize the south in the dis
tribution of governmental favors and
political bonors, we would suggest a
moments thoughtful consideration of
the real facts in the case, for while
there certainly has been and may still
be cause for complaint from the pub
lie at large all over the land, because
of certain tardiness in "turnlng the
rascals out" yet one glance at the fol-
lowing excellently arranged statement
Of facts will convince even the most
skeptical mind that the south has IN
no wise been slighted

Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 30, has been
appointed as our annual day OF
Thanksgiving. This was originally
New England day, and gradually
spread wherever the Puritan and
Pilgrim influences settled. But it re-
quired the tremendous throes of
war and the proclamation of Abra-
ham Lincoln TO make tho day ma
tional custom and part of our NOR
al and religious life. There is one
fact all men recogniZe-that upon
the whole there is more happiness
than despair in life, or otherwise it
would not be worth living. There
is no such thing as logical or sin
cere pessimist. Somehow we see
there is progress, and this is but
another name for greater happiness.
There never has been time which
could not have been imagined worse;
hence, though evils may abound and
distress sit in many places, there is
yet much to be thankful for. The
walls of divine displeasure are never
emptied to the uttermost Our
Sranaries are full and the land can
not starve our storehouses are
oyerflowing with clothing, and the
land cannot freeze. Either through
the bad laws of men, their own
faults of extravaganza or from caus-
es tho wisest could not fore see,
there is enforced idleness in places
and the distribution OF the worlds
products has been temporarily ar
rested. This can be remedied and
doubtless will be in time. 1t is not
like the disasters of fire and light
ming, the blast of mildew, the scorch-
ing of heat or the famine following
in the track of plague and pest.
These have touched us lightly, and
so mighty blessings compensate for
the temporary ills. Thanksgiving
day is never satire, but time for
stopping to consider how much bet
ter are the present than the ancient
times.

Observe The Rules,

Anna NJ. Victor, of Uniontown,
sued the Pennsylvania Railroad
company for $50, 900 damages. When
the testimony was all in Judge Ew-
ing refused to allow the case to so
to the jury and recorded a verdict
for the Company, the rule being
that person cannot claim damages
for injuries received in getting off n
moving train. There is notice on
the door of every car to the effect
that passengers must not attempt
to lea ve the car until it comes to n
stop. If any one neglects the notice
and attempts to leave the car before
it stops, and is injured in the opera
ton, he cannot receive damages for
injuries sustained.

Buried Gold.

A ton of gold is annually buried
in the cemeteries of the United
States. A law for the filling and
plugging and planting of teeth with
silver bullion would come right
handy in this emergency. If this
use of gold for repairing OF teeth
goes on many thousands of years, it
is easy to see that the entire stock
on hand will be exhausted, and that
our remote posterity will be COM
PEELED in self defense to resort to
placer mining in the old cemeteries
in order to recover the precious
metal that has been wasted by their
ancestors. s.-Reno (Nev.) Journal.

Shoots A Horse

A serio-comic affair took place
down in Miles township, Il few morn
ings ago, which has hardly yet been
paralleled in its line ms to the ludi-
crous and serious, the actor being

Brumgart, one of the best farmers in
that section.
Mr.. Brungart has living with him
II young hired man, named Bierly,
who had permission to keep horse
OF his own on the farm, the animal
hayingits regular stall in the stables.
Young Bicrly, II few days ago, hitched
his horse in Il buggy aud drove on q
visit to his parents, few miles dis
tant, returning late at night, with Il
horse exchanged for another belong
ing to his father, and thinking he
might sell it to Mr.. Brungart, The
horse was that night put into the
stall in which Biorly had kept his
own horse.
The next morning the lad hap.
pened to wander into one of the fod-
der gangs and in Bierly's stall he
spied Il strange horse, in the place
of the one he was used TO seeing
there, and naturally the lad conclud-
ed the strange horse must be n
tramp, an intruder, and that he
would nttonl To him
Some farmers are in tho habit of
keeping loaded gun in their barns
for an emergency and such was the
case here. The lad knew where the
gun was and he got il with some
effort he got it up to rest on the
and set the hammer the
horse instinctively brought his nose
close to the muzzle to take the smell,
and the little fellow pulled the trig-

OBITUARY..

Death has again, unbidden, enter
cd our neighborhood. 1t is but q
few days since our esteemed neigh
Dor, DIR. I. B. Bibighaus, was called
to minister with his skill and kindly
attention at the bedside of an aged
and prominent member of our COM
munity during his last illness and
dying moments. Now he too is
called away from earth to 'the un-
discovered country, from whose
bourn no traveller returns
DIR. Bibighaus was the son of DIR.
John Bibighaus, for many years the
leading physician in this section of
our County, aud his wife, Julia. He
was born June "a, 1884, and died af-
ter few hours illness November 81,
1893. He was one of IA family of four
two of whom, Mrs. Sabra Bogar
and Mrs. Eveliue Brubaker, wife of
DR.. d. Nj. Brubaker, both of Miillin-
burg, still survive him. He grew up
among our people, and among his
early play-mates were some of the
elderly men and women still dwell
ing among us.
In his childhood, he attended the
schools in our neighborhood, and
those who still survive him will re-
call him as bright aud studious
boy of most amiablo disposition. At
the early age of eighteen he taught
"a term of school, Mt the school house
known as "Renuinger's' in Franklin
township, this county. As n teacher,
he was successful and popular. La
ter he attended the Mifllinburg
Academy, then n most excellent
school He seems to have acquired
from his father his love and talent
for medicine. After reading med.
icipsk with his father, he attended
the usual courses OF lectures at the
Jefferson Medical College, from
which institution he graduated with
ere dit March 7, 1857. For one year
thereafter he practiced his profes
sion at Fremont, this County, and
then entered into partnership with
his father i'll the practice of medicine,
continuing until the date OF his
fathers death in 1860, after which he
continued to practice alone. For II
number of years he was the leading
physician III our community until
failing health compelled him in great
part to relinquish it. Yet so far rs
his strength would allow, he was
ever ready to minister his kind
offices to his sick and suffering
friends.
In the sick room he was gentle as
II child, yet in every way skillful
As n husband and father, he was
among the kindest-as neighbor
he was among the best-he was Il
christian-a firm believer in the
teachings of the Bible-at his death
he was n member in good standing
of the Evangelical Lutheran churcl
of Middleburgh. May the Almighty
Healer comfort his stricken family.

The Troxelville Hunting Party,

costly encamped in this picturesque
spot for ten days hunt. We have
two canvass tents 12xli feet each,
with two big sheet-iron stoves, and
IA foot square bed, which consists
of boards laid across logs, covered
about II foot deep with hemlock

spread with the fly ofa canvass tent,
