MAY COSMOPOLITAN.
A New York daily paper, taking up the
idea conveyed in Flamtnarion's exciting
novel, "Omega . The Last Days of the
World," has interviewed a number of the
leading men in all professions as to what
they would do if science were to predict
to morrow that the end of' the world
would arrive within the next thirty days.
The answers are various and curious,
and heighten the interest which is telt in
the second part ot Flammarlon's great
novel, which appears in the May.Cosmo-
politan. It is a question which every one
will find interesting to ask of himself:
What would you do if within six weeks
the end of the world were certain? Prob-
"ably no novel which has ever appeared in
an American magazine has been more
elaborately illustrated by more dis-
tinguished artists. Laurens, Saunier,
Vogel, Meaulie, Rochegro*se, Geradin
and Chovin all contribute to the explana-
tion of the text. A clever story of an-
other kind is that of the new English
novelist, Gilbert Parker, in the same
number. "American Socictv in Paris"
is an article ot another, kind, but one
which will interest all who have had
occasion to make even a short residence
in the French capital. The Cosmopoli-
tan scores a success in producing in its
Mav number, almost simultaneously with
the daily papers, an elaborate description
ot Professor Grav's marvellous invention,
the Tejautogiaph, which reproduces the
handwriting, or the work of the artist,
simultaneously, thousands ot miles dis-
tant trom th<; place where the writer or
Artist is sittinjf- Mr. Howells' purpose
in "The Traveller from Altruria*' is,
month bv mctnth, becoming more evi-
dent, and is now receiving wide attention
at the hands ot the critics all over the
world.
Sunday night Conductor Griffith, in
charge of an extra north-bound H. Ac T.
~ train, reported upon hi* arrival here
that he had been delayed about fifteen or
twenty minute*, on account of an ob-
struction on the track about a mile north
of Choctaw bridge and tour and a half
mile* south ot Sherman. He reported a
rail had been placed on the track and
had rolled under the pilot tor come little
piece. The engineer had hi* engine well
under control and a wreck was averted.
The railway (hop* here are (till crowd'
ed with work. An engine trom the
Trinity Si Sabine division, came in early
in the week for repair. It had been in a
head-end collision and was badly injured
Three engines are here trom the Taylor
or lower division.
Governor Flowet,ot New York, has
signed the bills passed by the late legUla
ture, requiring automatic couplers and
air brake* on freight train*. The pro-
visions of the bills are, we believe, sub-
stantially the same as thoae of the con-
gressional law, except that passenger car*
are not included.
The case ot Engineer Jame* Lennon,
who wa* adjudged guilty ot contempt of
court in the Ann Arbor case, has been
presented to the supreme court at Wash-
ington, but it is said that no decision will
be' reached before October. The case
goes to Washington on an application
tor a writ of habeas corpus.
It is said that the Richmond & Danville
has spent $100,000 in compromising the
lawsuit* of persons injured at the States-
ville, (N. C.,) wreck in 1891. This de-
railment, killing twenty-two persons, was
due to malicious loosening of a rail, and
the company disclaims liability, but its
othcers appear to have deemed it best to
compromise numerous suits, neverthe-
less.
Conductor W. H. Hunter, who left
Denison Tuesday morning on No 6,
Central local, was killed at McKinney
Tuesday evening. One of the brakemen
noticed in the train a link|that was out of
order. Several unsuccessful attempts
'were made to tOTce the pin out when the
conductor gave instruction to the brake'
man to go forward, cut off two cars in
which was a quantity of local freight,
and while it was being unloaded he would
get out the tigh^ pin. The brakeman
went forward, gavie the engineer a signal
to let oft the stack so that the local cars
could he cut off. Hunter was standing
between the bumpers trying to pull the
pin out, and when the engineer let off
the slack the conductor was caught be-
tween the draw-heads. Some one saw
the conductor as he tell and the train
men were notified of the accident. He
was taken to the depot platform and
while en route he died. The remains
were forwarded to Ennis for burial. Mr.
Hunter bad been in the employee of the
Central a long time.
A consignee at Charlestown, W. Va.,
refused two cars ot bark because there
was demurrage to pay and allowed them
to stand until there was $69 against each
car. The company sold the bark tor
charges arid the consignee sued the road
for $500; but he was beaten and ordered
to pay the road $15, the proceeds of the
sale having lacked that much of paying
the freight and demurrage.
The Birmingham bi Atlanta railroad,
extending from Pell City to Talladega,
Ala., was put in the hands ot a receiver
on April 19 at Talladega on the charge
that its tunds were not properly appro-
priated, Mr. G. A. Edwards being ap-
pointed receiver. Exactly titty minutes,
elapsed from the appointment until the
road was released, it being shown that it
was solvent and able to pay all liabilities.
This is the shortest 'receivership on
record.
The South Carolina tax cases were
passed upon by the supreme court ot the
United States, the opinion heing deliver-
ed by Chief Justice Fuller. The suits
came up on the petition of Sheriff Tyler,1
of Aiken county, tor a writ of habeas
corpus to release him from imprisonment
under the judgment of theciicuit court
ot tlje United States that he be fined $503
for contempt. He had seized a train on
the South Carolina railroad upon a war-
rant issued by the state authorities for
the collection of taxes which were in con-
troversy. Tlie road was in the hands of
a receiver appointed by the United States
court, and he was adjudged guilty ot con
tempt for failing to release the property
under order of that conrt. He appealed
to the supreme court, tor relief. Chief
|ustice Fuller, ir. denying the application
ot the petitioner for Jthe writ, said the
seizure ot the property by torce was un-
justifiable and could not be defended.
The claims of the state for taxes are not
superior to the general rule which makes
property placed in Ihe hands of a receiver
subject to the orders of the court. They
are to be determined in the regular way
and in the proper manner.
A Wednesday's special from Ennis
says: "The remains of Conductor W.
T. Hunter, who was killed at the yards
at McKinney yesterdav afternoon, came
in on the south-bound No. 4 last evening.
He was buried to-day bv the B. P. O. E.,
ot which he was a member. Spperin
tendent L. A. Dattan went to Dallas this
morning and was met there by General
Superintendent G. A. Quinlan, who ac-
companied him as tar as Denison. From
the latter place Mr. Quinlan leaves tor
Fort Worth over the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas.
It has been agreed among the general
managers and superintendents of the
Texas railroads that C. C. B Peck, now
assistant general manager of the San An
tonio Ac Aransas Pass, will be chairman
and manager of the Texas Car Service
Association. A. H. Swanson was elected
to- the position, but declined. The ob-
ject ot the association is to expedite the
movement of cars, prevent freight block-
ades and put an end to merchants hold
ing cars as warehouses without paying
demurrage. ;
James Peattle passed through Denison
Friday evening en route from Greenville
to Gainesville with 500 head of calves
and i-year-olds.
On June 1 the civil engineer's office ot
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas in Texas
will be abolished, the work will be merg-
ed into the office of the roadmaster.
A rumor has gained circulation to the
effect that some time in the near future
both the legal and the medical depart-
ments ot the entire M., K. & T. system
are to be abolished.
Fridav at noon Messrs. G. A. Quinlan
and Capt. J. Kruttschuitt, geneial mana-
ger, Southern Pacific system, arri.ved in a
special coach attached to the regular pas-
senger. At 1.30 Messrs. A. C. Hutchi-
son, president ot the Morgan, Louisiana
& Texas railwav, with office at New Or-
leans, and Thomas R. Hubbard, presi-
dent of the Houston 5c Texas Central,
with office in New York, arrived from the
north. The latter gentlemen were travel-
ing in a Southern Pacific coach and came
in as part ot M., K. & T. No. I. The
coaches were put together here and at
2:^0 were sent south as a| special.
Engine No. 152 was turned out' from
the Denison shops Friday, having been
practically re-built. \
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers ot the M., K AC T., will be held at
Parsons next week. The shareholders of
the Texas division {will meet in the office
of Vice-President R. C. Foster, in this
city, on the 16th iivst.
The promptness and certaintv of its
cures have made Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy famous. It is intended especi-
ally for coughs, cold*, croup and whoop-
ing coughs, and is the most effectual
remedv known tor these diseases. Mr.
C- B. Main, of Union City,' Pa., savs: "I
have a great sale on Chamberlain'* Cough
Remedy. I warrant every bottle and
have never heard ot one failing to give
entire satisfaction." 50 cent bottles for

In the celebrated case of Leeper vs
Porter, from this city, a new trial has
been granted by special Judge K. C. Mc-
Lean, before whom it was tried at Sher-
man.
A large, brilliant, enthusiastic and
especially intelligent audience assembled,
at the McDougall opera house on last
Tuesday evening to do honor to the ap-
pearance of Miss Maude Granger and her
skilitul and artistic supporting companv,
who. presented for the first time in this
city the four-act comedy, translated and
adapted from Dumas' "Le Demi-Monde''
by Edward P. Clancy, entitled ''The
Fringe ot Society," tor the benefit ot the
Denison lodge B. P. O. E., No. 238. It
was a splendid and altogether enjoyable
dramatic achievement. The play moved
with a rare cunning that made it seem
unvaryingly natural and spontaneous. In
the abstract, too, it was admirable, every
individuality being clearly defined and
consistently maintained. But, as always,
it was Granger who was paramount. Her
adaptability, which goes not only to the
most subtle shades of temper and tem-
perament, but also to the physical, seems
little less than supernatural. Miss Gran-
ger rises as superior to the traditions of
the stage as she does to its devices. The
fidelity with which she personified Mrs.
Beauchamp Carew, the romantic mind-
ed, produces illusion. It is a mirroring
of nature. This gifted artiste develops
with experience, and comes to us this
year larger in every artistic essential.
Her voice has improved in mellowness
and roundness. Her gesture in subdued
work is more flexile, she has developed
a greater degree of magnetism, anil in
repose her method is more mature and
expensive.! She has wrought upon and
developed her two or three essentially
strong scenes until their power is simply
electrical, and to any audience with a
capacity to feel simpiy irresistible. To
analyze Miss Granger's personation
would require space that cannot be
spared. One realizes a new and great
function ot the theatre to see a woman
who,Mn the stress of exciting dramatic
juncture, as well as in minor movements,
is oblivious of an audience and acts, as
one immediately knows, by instinct, such
a character would act if it all were real.
The work ot Frederic Herzog as Osmond
St. Elmo, stood out boldly, and proved
him to be an actor ot uncommon force
and vigor. He was constantly employed
on the stage, and at no time was he lax
in his duty. His essay was as finished
and true as the most exacting author
could have wished. Hubert Carter was
thoroughly capable in the role of Capt.
Ronald Stuaut, giving proof of a dramatic
power which added the last essential to
his treatment of the character. Miss
Mamie Van Slyke made an excellent
Marie Ashton, and the other parts which
are unimportant were in thoroughly cap-
able hands.
There is nothing 1 have ever used for
muscular rheumatism that gives me as
much relief, as Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does. I have been using it for about two
years—four bottles in all—as occasion re-
quired, and alwavs keep a.bottle ot it in
my home. 1 believe 1 know a good thing
when I get hold of it, and Pain Balm is
the best liniment I have ever met with.

IN MEMORY.
On Friday evening of last week little
Mary Burckel, three-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Buicael, residing
at 603 West Sears street, quietly and
peacefully folded her arms, closed her
eyes and passed into that sleep that
knows no awakening. The child pos-
sessed a lovable and sweet disposition
and had, by her winsom and lady-like
ways, thoroughly established herself into
the hearts most tender affections of, not
only parents, but all who knew her. Mr
and Mrs. Burckel have the sympathy of
many friends who will ever remember
little Mary as a bit of pure, innocent and
altogether lovely humanity. B.
EUMUBDSON <k SMITH.
Mr. C. Edmundson, recently of Sher-
man, and Mr. Erwin J. Smith, of this
citv, have associated themselves together
tor the practice of their profession—the
law. The gentlemen are by no means
strangers eithet in Denison or Grayson
county. Both have earned enviable repu
tations before the bar at Sherman, and
the junior ot the firm, Mr. Smith, has
proven himself in Dentson to be abund
antly worthy ot his high calling. Their
office is in the Muller block, second floor,
west stairway, and all business entrusted
to their care will receive prompt, careful
and efficient attention. Mr. Edmundson
brings with him to Denison trom Sher-
man the very best wishes of the very best
people in the city. He is not only
scholar but a scholarly gentleman. Tne
tlrm is a union of good material, and the
Gazetteer bespeaks tor them a liberal
share of the city's law practice.

Archie Jackson, a - Texas Oattleman
Spends Bine Tears in an Asylum.
Nine years ago Archie Jackson,
of Hillsboro, Hill county, was a
prosperous cattle dealer. He took a
ajrge number of cattle to the Chi-
cago market, disposed of them and
tfaiat was the last seen of him for
many years. The matter at the time
created a big sensation and it was
the general verdict that he had been
murdered. A recent special irom
Bowling Green, Mo., Ijas the follo-
wing to say concerning the long lost
man: m
The solution of a mystery of nine
years is the sensation of the city to-
night. Nine years ago this June
Archie Jackson, well known in this
county, and at the time of his dis-
appearance he was president of one
of the largest cattle companies in the
Lone Star state. He had taken a
consignment of cattle to Chicago
valued at $19,000, sold them, made
his returns to the company and
bought a ticket from Chicago to
Clarksville, this state,, intending to-
visit relatives and friends before re-
turning to Texas. This is the last
he remembers up to si,x months ago.
The only clew the police authorities
of Chicago could get as to his
whereabouts was that he was seen
to go into a bank in that city and
was followed by two very suspicious
characters. Mr. Jackson says the
next thing he remembers after pur-
chasing his ticket was being released
from an asylum in Brooklyn, N. Y.,
from which place he wandered to
Wilmington, N. C., and there met
man named Patterson. As reason
began to return, and with it. the
knowledge of the time elapsing since
his disappearance, he began to ques-
tion the expediency of letting friends
know of his wherabouts, knowing
they would believe him dead. He
then went to Florida and stayec
several weeks, but the desire to
know the fate of his wife and chil-
dren induced him to return to Mis-
souri. He then came to Farming-
ton, Mo., where his son, Mr. Alonzo
Jackson, is employed and made
himselt known, and from him learn-
ed that his wife and daughter were
residents of this city. His son im
mediately sent a gentleman to this
place and informed his mother of
the return ot the father long mourn-
ed as dead, and last Thursday at
the hotel Rozier, a happy reunion
was had.
FRIDAY, MAY 12.
Mr. George McLagan began to-dayfhe
erection of tour cottage residences on the
corner ot Hull street and Rusk avenue .....
The hanging of Carlysle and Luttrell in
Sherman to-day is the subject ot gener-
al conversation here. Had the exe-
cution been public hundreds, if not
thousands, of people would have gone
over from Denison ... A telegram ar-
rived at 2:05 this evening announcing
that Luttrell and Carlysle had been hung.
Councilman Hewitt does not be-
lieve in a board of health with plen-
ary power. The common law de-
fines a nuisance and the common
law provides a remedy. If the
people do not chose to avail them-
selves of the remedy, then the fault
is with the people more than with
the council, although the council is
created for the purpose of looking
after the interests of the people. The
matter easily brings up for discus-
sion political questions that seeming-
ly have no ending. If the power
and responsibility ot the council and
the officers are increased, then the
power and responsibility of the peo-
ple decreases. In very large muni-
cipalities very strict sanitary laws
are matters of absolute necessity,
but with a city the size of Denison
the expediency of such rigid rules
and regul^- ^■1^11 be ques-
ioned.

Practiced on the
Preacher.
North-Bide
"Tick-tack" is the practice of
tying a weight to a door knob, tying
a long string to the weight, getting
off at a distance and pulling the
string, causing the weight to strike
the door in imitation of a visitor rap
ping. Two North-Side boys, who
shall be nameless here wit-h the hope
that they will not be again guilty of
"tick-tacking" or worse mischief,
were the culprits on this occasion
and Rev. J. M. C-McKnight, pastor
ot the North-Side church, was the
intended victim. The game worked
beautifully at first, the man of Qocl
responding to the knocks, no dciubt
expecting to meet some of his par
ishoners and slightly hoping that
there was a knot to be tied for a run
away couple, with a good fee for his
services. 'The sequel might indicate
that the reverend gentleman had
played the same trick himselt in his
youthful days, tor he felt for the
string, found it, and followed it to
deep gully in which the boys were
hidden. The boys took to their
heels, closely followed by the
preacher. One of the youngsters
fell into a branch and was caught
He asked to be allowed to wipe the
mud off his hands and was allowed
to do so, but as soon as released he
made another break for liberty. The
preacher was too swift for him, how
ever, and soon had him , in his
clutches again. He was escorted to
the parsonage and surveyed from
heae to foot by the minister, but was
not known to him, not being Meth
odically iuclined. He was given the
privilege ot divulging his own and
his companion's name, or paying
$7.50. He chose the former horn
ot the dilemma, and apologized
Mr. McKnight. The other boy ran
to the Marshall cemetery, but he
known as well as the one who was
caught. In the chase the parson
lost one of his slippers. One ot.the
boys says when he again plays
"tick-tack" it will not be on
preacher's door.—Exchange.

Marshall Wheeler, one of the best
known of the great army of Pacific
coast scientists, claims to have dis-
covered a "third principal motion of
the earth," which is this; Every
20,903 years the globe changes its
north and south poles on account of
the; attraction the earth has for its
own magnetism. The sun, too,
strongly attracts one of the poles
and repels the other. This being
the case, it only takes the short space
of 20,903 years for the double attrac-
tion to careen it over to such an ex-
tent that it suddenly "flops" 90 de-
grees. Mr. Wheeler s'ays that one
of these grand "flops" occurred
6,000 years ago, at the time set
down by the, geologists as the
"glacial epoch."—St. Louis Re-

A big scandal is in the course of
