JOURNALISTIC OBSTACLES.

The conscientious and successful
newspaper man Gournalist) has a
"hard row to weed" In his efforts
to carry forward public enterprises,
for the good of his city or town, and
in advocating such things as he
conceiYes for the good of the great
est number, ETC., he meets with
much opposition and makes many
enemies. In reality, like the
preacher, he ought to change
location quite often, from the fact
that he largely loses influence and
usefulness, from the friction caused
by speaking candidly to his readers,
as time rolls by. Below we enumer-
ate Just few of the many OBJ
stacles he has to meet, in the con-
duct of his paper:
He does not ride the fence, on
any pnblic question; and those upon
the "other side" become estranged,
and refuses him patronage, wholly
or in part.
He advocates law and order, con-
stantly; and all those who "wink
at" violations, give him the cold
shoulder.
He calls attention to the derelic-
ton of officials; and they and their
friends, swear vengeance and op-
poses him every way.
He refuses to let the 'lusher" and
politician dictate the policy of his
paper; and this numerous class
forthwith declares he shall not get
a dollar they can prevent.
He advocates progress the develop,
ment, and roasts the old fogy ant
growler; and they fight him early
aud late.
He asks pay for all matter in any
way advertising entertainments
and political matters for individuals
that seek the public ear through his
columns, where financial gain il
sought; and a still larger number
growl and withhold patronage.
We might give dozens of similar
obstacles, but deem these sufficient
to show our readers the troubles o.
the newspaper man, The Texark
anian editor has run up against
them all; he has done much fol
men, by helping them in his col
umns, only to incur their illwill ant
opposition later, for an imaginary
wrong. Still we manage to gel
along right nicely-do not feal
starvation or business annihilation
so devoutly wished for by oul
enemies from causes above enume
rated. Selah.

FIRE ON MAPLE STREET.

Saturday night at 1890 after
our paper had gone to press, fire
out on north Maple street consumed
cottage belonging and occupied
by Paul Reverb, and the two-story
residence belonging to and occupied
by Mr. Purifoy.
The fire originated in the Reverb
residence, just how, no one seemed
to know, as Mr.. Reverb was on his
way to Galveston, having left on
the Cotton Belt train during the
day and his wife was spending the
evening with Mrs. T. Stanley Ed
wards. Some of the furniture was
saved from the house as also from
the Purifoy house. The house ad-
joining south of the Reverb house
and belonging to him but occupied
by Walter Hilltnan, was in danger
and did catch on fire several times,
but was put out by the volunteer
brigade.

FATAL COLORS.

1t has been proven that soldiers
are hit during battle according to
the color of their dress, in the fol-
lowing ordered is the most fatal.
Austrian grey is the least fatal,
The proportions are red twelve, rifle
green seven, brown six, Austrian
blush grey five. There is one other
color, not mentioned, more fatal
and that is the pallor of weakness.
If it has commenced to paint its
deathly hue upon your cheek, and
the stomach weakens and life seems
not worth living, go to the druggist
and obtain a bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. It. will give you
life and energy. 1t. does this by
making the stomach strong and the
blood pure. 1t is unequalled for
such disorders as indigestion, dys-
pepsia, or malaria, fever and ague.

Too often our so-called best citi-
zens, rich and influential men, re-
fuse to participate in governmental
affairs. 1t is not to be wondered at,
then, that when the sheriff of st.
Louis county went out the other
day to secure a posse of $500 special
deputies to quell the street car riots
and he proceeded to summon the
wealthiest men in the city, the pro-
fessional men, the preachers, doc
tors, editors and retired capitalists,
that he raised a rumpus. Many
hastily became sick, and secured
doctors certificates, although at
tending to business. Officers should
not have recognized any such eva
sion. The sheriff did right in going
among this class-they are in honor
bound to do their part in maintain
ing civil government.

Representative Cummings, of New
York, reused the democrats of the
House to enthusiasm by reading a
letter from COL Bryan, denying
that he had ever said that he fa-
vored an antitrust constitutional
amendment or believed one to be
necessary, unless the supreme court
should hold that congressional legis.
aton against trusts was unconsti-
tutional and adding that the re.
publican party has shown in this
Congress that it does not wish to
destroy trusts, by supporting a
proposition to give the national
banks control of the currency, and
thus create paper money trust.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The forty-seventh
day of the trial Of Roland B. Molineux,
for the murder Of Mrs. Katherine J..
Adams. opened with Harry S. Cornish
again on the stand. The cross-examina-
ton Of Cornish by Attorney Weeks was
the feature of the days proceedings. Mr..
Weeks commenced the cross-examination
of Cornish by inquiring about the hours
of his return from the Knickerbocker
Athletic club on the night of Dec ~,
1898. Cornish acknowledged that he was
mistaken in previous testimony as to the
hour The lines of questioning were
soon shifted, Mr.. Weeks apparently at
tempting to show that Mr.. Cornish, after
twenty years Of caring for athletes ought
to know the taste of bromo seltzer.
The witness was next compelled to run
a gauntlet of questions regarding his re-
lations with the various members of the
household Of Mrs Adams. Cornish testi-
fed that he could not remember who first
told him that Mrs. Rogers. the daughter

These questions were regarded s1gnif-
cant, chiefly because of the fact that
person wearing hat aof this description
is known to have rented private letter
boxes and received letters which nave
figured in this case.
Cornish testified til the connection be-
tween the poison package address and the
handwriting of Molineux was nfst men
toned by John D. Adams. He denied
purchasing works ron Chemistry In De-
cember. 1898.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
again took Cornish in hand. and asked
him whether he had ever heard Mr.. Car
valho, the handwriting expert, say That
Cornish could not have written the poison
package address Cornish said that ne
could not remember.
When Cornish said that the poison box
had been tied with string, Juror Edgar
remarked that it must have been trans
ported as open matter.
Mr. Osborne thanked the juror for the

suggestion and added that he would en-

Juror Billings asked the witness wheth-
er he had ever had his desk broken open
prior to the time that he had 1t opened
forcibly to get the bottle and holder and
remove it from the club to the Adams
fiat, and the witness replied in the af-
1rmative.
After the attorneys for the prosecution
and the defense, Recorder Golf and the
jurors had questioned Cornish, Harry A.
King, broker on the Consolidated eX-
change, was called to the stand. Mr..
King testified that Cornish showed him
the Christmas present which he had been
sent by a friend, that he went to the

Mr.. Weeks paused moment and then
asked Cornish if he, had gone to Chicago
to find out about whatsthe detectives had
done Cornish hesftated and finally ac-
knowledged going to Chicago and making
inquiries.
Mr.. Weeks then compelled the witness
to go over the story of his own illness on
the morning of the death of Mrs. Adams
again. He was closely questioned con-
corning his visit to the office of Mr.
Yocunl, whom Cornish styled his best
friend" He was asked as to the route
that he took in going from Yocum's Of
fee up town on Dec. g. This line OF
questioning was significant, as 1t develop
ed the fact that Cornish passed the gen.
eral postoffice and he had thus been given
the opportunity of mailing the poison
package himself Cornish never h1nched,
but acknowledged discrepancies concern
ing the time of the receipt OF the bromo
settler, also errors in his statements to
the newspapers as to the manner in which
he was dressed at the Adams apartments
on the morning of the murder.
Cornish also acknowledged that at one
time he thought Felix J. Gallagher wrote
the Harpster letter. When Intercepted
regarding certain statements given out to
the reporters Cornish said that he had
searched for manifold copies and notes at
the clubhouse, but that they had been
stolen. He denied making an appoint
ment with a representative Of the New
York Journal, and offering to sell for
$1,000 story as to who sent the poison,
but he acknowledged a meeting for the
purpose of ascertaining who first gave
Molineux's name do the Journal.
Mr.. Weeks succeeded In getting the
witness to acknowledge that. in 1897. he
wore white alpine hat with black
band, but he denied wearing hat OF
