CURED to shake the faith of the at
tending surgeons and physicians aud
they have expressed the opinion that
he will recover The danger from two
sources was pronounced practically
over today. The holes in the stomach
proper caused by the perforation of
the bullet are now considered healed
by DR.. McBurney and his associates,
and the eminent surgeon pointed to the
fact that the beef Juice fed to the pa
tient last night was readily digested
as proof of this. Sufficient time has
also elapsed to warrant the doctors
in asserting that the danger of innam-
nation where the bullet lodged has
disappeared 1t Is believed that the
bullet has now become 'encysted in the
muscles of the back and unless it's To-
cation should prove troublesome later
on, there will never be any necessity
for removing it. Dr.. Mann. in speak
ing in regard TO this today, said he
knew a man who lived for years with
bullet in the muscles of his heart.
The attention Of the physicians is
now therefore, mainly directed to the
care and treatment of the wound

Beaumont. Texas September 13.--
The first gusher of the week spouted
about o'clock yesterday morning.
1t is the property of the Georgetown
Waco Oil company and is a six-inch
we'll.
The newest gusher is located on block
80 of Spindle Top and came in ut u
depth of $50 feet. There was some
thing rather out of the ordinary in the
coming in of this we'll After the
water had been partially removed from
the casing by baillng, a flow of gas
came and 1t looked for a few moments
like the well might be g "gasser," The
gas came in a steady, roaring stream
and brought with it very little oil or
water A change came however, and
the gas gave way to a solid stream of
oil, which was allowed to flow through
horizontal pipe, The well gave am

London September 12.-The Paris
correspondent of the Times, says:
The Bethany review promises to be
the greatest attraction to the crowds
in connection with the cars visit. In
spite of all that has lately been done,
France is far more military than a
naval power. 1t is not yet known
what the exact character of the Com
piegne fetes will be-whether only
French guests, or representatives Of
the diplomatic world of Paris will be
invited. While the car is at Com
piegne, as the guest of France, that
will be his home and the choice OF
guests will belong to him.
A man who personifes the great
body of French public opinion declares
that the car comes to France to pave
the way for new Russian loan larger
than any previous oan. For half a
century, he says. Russia has been liv-
ing solely on loans.
