Now that the great unterrified
Democratic convention has got
through parcelling out the state
spoils and making a platform for
the spoilers to stand on, intelli-
gent people are asking themselves
what was all the fuss about.
There were two platforms pre-
scented, the majority report and the
minority report in what particu-
lar did they differ. Geo. Clark cook
ed one dish and Reagan seasoned
the other. Both endorsed the last
Democratic platform at Chicago;
both slobbered over Cleveland;
both endorsed the mutilated Will
son free-trade protection tariff bill
both got in their slap at the ma
tional government: "The Federal
government is government of
limited powers, &C."
Then in what particular did
they differ so essentially as to
cause old Reagan to hop off his
perch? Why the majority plat.
form, which was adopted, was
copied out of a Republican plat
form recently passed by back
county convention, while old Rea-
gan's dish had the populist idea
Of free coinage in it. That's all.
neither of which has one particle
of effect upon our state sovereign
ty. The limited" Federal govern
ment regulates this business.
Since they have endorsed free
wool and free meat as set forth
by the Wilson bill, our fellow cit
izen Gus Houston can come home
and get up his majority Demo-
cratic convention and start out to
convince the people in the 18th
District that they are blessed of
the blessed Democrats in the
Union.
The Congressional democracy
must be consistent and swallow
the dose given them by the States
rights Democracy, free wool, etc.
The intelligent masses of our
people who are not blinded
by the false pretences and
still more fallacious declara-
lions of the State Democracy,
will undertand that while
the silver plank was made the
great bone of contention that the
adoption of either plank would not
have turned a hair on cats back
in the state, but the adoption of an
endorsement of the destructive
tariff measure recently passed by
Congress means disaster to our Sec
ton.
When Coke, Mills, Culberson,
Paschal, Grain, and the rest of them
come back to Texas and are con-
fronted with our desolated grazing
lands and empty warehouses they
will find a people who have been
feeding upon Democratic husks.
The Federal government may
have very "limited powers" but
under Democratic mismanagement
its "limited powers" are destruc-
tive enough of the material in
terests of the State of Texas.
The most significant thing in the
Democratic state platform is it's

AFTER TEXAS LANDS.
Search to Be Made For a Long
 Lost Estate.
VALUE ESTIMATED AT s25. 100000.

Henry schatzel Alleges His Uncle John
 Peter sehatzel Owned Immense Ira cts
 of Lands In Nueces, Cameron, Duvai
 and Coryeli Counties Which He Is
 Entitled to and Must Have.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 3t.--Henry Freder- ick Schatzel lives in humble cireum- stances above bis little baker shop in Brooklyn, yet he may become the rich est man in the whole city. He is about to bring suit for property in Texas amounting to nearly 270 square miles of it's territory and worth at least s95,- 900, ,000 The story of his claim is full of romance, mystery and crime.
 His uncle, John Peter Schatzel, played an important part in the early history of Texas. He fought as pri- vate under Napoleon; was wounded at Austerlitz; became paymaster, and after the disastrous Russian campaign of 1874 sailed from Antwerp to New Orleans. There he went into business and at the end of II years sold out his interest for $40,000. Then he joined Sam Houston in the revolt of Texas against Mexico and was United States consul at Matamorial until the apnexa- ton of the Lone Star State in i945. He invested largely ip real estate. buying up almost the entire counties of Cam eron, Neuces, Duval and Coryell.
 In 1887 he announced his intention of returning to France and drew out $42,- 900 in gold from the New Orleans bank. Before he could start he died suddenly and mysteriously. It was suspected that he had been poisoned.
 He had no relatives except brother living on the Rhine in the town of Kreutznach, knowing nothing of John Peters fate or of the fortune that awaited himself. Two years passed. Then, according to Texss laws. the tiIl. claimed estate was placed in the hands of administrators. From time to time they have sold portions of the property on quit claim deeds. Thus large part of the estate has passed into the hands of strangers.
 The town of Corpus Christi and many smaller settlements have been built upon it. But the title of the purchasers is invalid as against the heirs, for the stat ute of Limitations does not debaY them if they are abroad or if no efforts are made to find them.
 Twenty years ago Henry schatzel came to this country and finally settled in Brooklyn. Hearing. accidentally, of the fortune left by his uncle be went out to Texas and employed lgYyers to prosecute his claim. AS almost all the prominent people in the counties nau1ed are interef ed, he made no progre He says his lawyer was bought off. Now he has placed the matter in the hands of Lawyer Walsh of this city. Mr. Walsh will soon start for Corpus C6fisti. He is sanguine of success.

REFUSES TO CARRY IT OUT.

 The Omaha Herald Abrogates Con-
 tract Made With Republicans.
 OMAHA, Oct. 31.-In the district court here a somewhat remarkable case was filed against The Herald which was en- joined from abrogating a contract made several days ago by which the Republi- can state central committee leased for the remainder of the campaign two col umns on the editorial page, over which they were to have complete control. A line appeared over ths space indicating that it had been sold to the Republicans. The paper Tuesday declared the con tract broken because the Republicans did not confine themselves to what the pa- per thought proper campaign matter but insisted on abusing the opposition.
 The court granted temporary in junction and set the case for hearing to- day.
 The papers refusal to carry out the contract longer, it is asserted, is due to the fact that Congressman Bryan, who Is the nominee, declared that he would withdraw if Proprietor Hitchcock con tinued to print the committees matter which was alleged to be damaging to Bryan's senatorial campaign.

PoPUusr EDITOR ARResrEp.
He Is Charged With seditlon and
 Turned Loose on Bond.

uAHee AooSe on Eonus
 RIPLEY, Tenn, Oct 31.-E. F. Talley, editor of The Peoples Advocate, a Populist newspaper issued at this place, has been arrested charged with sedition growing out of the publication of an article in that newspaper. The article is as follows:
 After considering the matter, it has been determined to hold massmeeting, which all honest people are invited to attend, in the courthouse, next Satur- day, Nov. 3, at o'clock p. III. The ob- Ject of this meeting is to give expres- sion to the determination now formed in the minds and hearts of the people to die rather than submit to anything. but 8 fair election on Tuesday, Nov. G. That they have all come to this conclusion does not require much time or conver- sation to demonstrate. To submit to such glaring frauds as practiced in the August election is to surrender all man. hood and patriotism and this the honest people of old Lauderdale are not yet ready to do and before they will do they will soak sod with their blood.
 Every honest man who desires a fair and honest election is earnestly urged to quit his daily advocation and come on that day and show that he, at least, is on the side of justice and right. Come everybody.
 Editor Tally was arraigned before the magistrate and waived preliminary examination and admitted to bail under a $2500 bond
 The law under which he is arrested is a section in the revised statutes prohib- iting the calling of mobs or meetings to- gether for the purpose of melting riot
 Talley has frequently been in trouble on account of his fierce utterances.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that all tho organs of the body are under tho con. trol of the nerve centers, located In or near the base of the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs which they supply with nerve fluid are also deranged. When it Is re- membered that a serious Injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the injured point, because the nerve force Ia prevented by the injury from reaching the pIralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve ceuters will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force.
 Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from derangc- ment primarily originating in the organ it. self The great mistake of physicians In treating these diseases is that they treat the are the cause Of the trouble.
