HEATS THE FIFTEEN PUZZLE.
General Passenger Agent Faulkner has
issued a neat local time card of the Houston
and Texas Central railway with Texas con-
nections and connecting liues to at. I, mis,
Galveston and New Orleans. The card is
in pamphlet form, and will prove of vast
benefit to travelers. In connection with the
pampbleta small card hits also been issued
containing a fund of useful facts concern-
ing the arrival and departure of trains.
This card, in addition to the information
lurnished, has printed on its reverse side a
puzzle which will drive the average man to
suicide or an insane asylum should he try
to solve the problem. The diabolical " lif-
teen " is not a marker to it. The puzzle
should be seen to be appreciated.

artesian boring and wells.
Recently, before the Texas State Geologi-
cal and Scientific association, Mr. J. B. Da-
vies delivered a lecture on boring for coal,
illustrated by drill and drill cores—his ex-
periments being chiefly in Eastland and
Shackelford counties. He began by ex-
plaining the nature of the drill and exhib-
ited the cutter, which is merely a mallea-
ble iron tube set around at one end with
diamonds, and containing within it a corru-
gated instrument styled ft core-lifter. It
was passed through the audience and crit-
ically examined. Its cost was $1250.
The drill, through applied machinery,
makes about 350 to 400 revolutions per min-
ute and all the while a stream of water
from a steam pump is forced through the in-
terior of the tube and passes under and
around the diamonds on the edge of the
drill and washes out Its cuttings. After
cutting about ten feet the core is with-
dr&ws •
The diamond drill is useful only in mak-
ing its way through roclc materials, for
earthy matter packs and causes great dif-
ficulty in boring. His experiments in
searching for coal disclosed, incidentally,
ithe uncertainty that now exists in finding
artesian water, for in one hole after sink-
ing 460 feet no water was found, while in
another, near by, water was reached at 70
feet, then lost at 170 feet, aud found again
at 200 feet. Variegated and clouded
jnarble was discovered at 80 to 100
feet below the surface and midway between
Cisco and Albany at Blue Cut, blue marble,
.■finely fossiliferous, at an elevation of 1100
feet above the sea. In Br'own county grit
sandstone was found, some very fine, equal
to French grit millstones. During the lec-
ture many questions were answered and
responded to, when a general conversa-
zione followed, participated in by Col.
Brady, Major Cave, Mr. Lombard! and
others. Quite a number of artesian
wells, in various parts of the State,
wore described and opinions expressed that
they would at no distant day prove an in-
estimable boon to what are now called the
drouth districts. Thorough statistics are
being collected by the association in re-
gard to artesian wells from different parts
of the state, which will be published In its
Journal and the daily papers. Parties in
possession of information on the subject
will kindly correspond with Mr. E. T.
Dumble, secretary, at Houston.
TRIAL OF M. F. THOMPSON.
The trial of M. F. Thompson, charged
with the murder of John B. Pickering, was

GAINESVILLE.
The Election Excitement Growing Warm—Lots
of Candidate!!.
Gainesville, February 28.—The mayor-
alty race is becoming very exciting, taking In
consideration that the election 13 five weeks
off. There are about a dozen who want the
office, since with the new term, to begin
about the middle of April, the mayor's
duties are to be two fold, combining the
ofllce of mayor with that of city recorder,
and a salary of $1200 per annum instead of
$400, as at present. The avowed candidates
for this soveted place are Captain T. Row-
land, who resigned his position as alder-
man two weeks ago, Colonel Ike Claud,
Hon. Billy Blanton, Judge John T. Walker,
and Rev. J. H. Jackson of the Knights of
Labor and Farmers alliance. |&layor Hall
would be in the race if it
were not for the fact that
some time ago he unwittingly committed to
Captain Rowland. This shut him out. But
there are many of the voters of Gainesville
who would rather support Mayor Hall than
any man in the field, and there is a good
deal of side talk indulged in to the effect
that Mayor Hall's name will be placed on
the ticket whether he wishes it or not. He
was county judge for eight years. It is
most generally conceded that if Mayor Hall
do<;s not run the Rev. Mr. Jackson will be
elected. There is, therefore, a bitter war
being waged on the latter, and every means
is beinp brought to bear on him to Induce
the Knights of Labor and Farmers alliance
man to step down and out of the race. This
he refused to do, seeing that if he con-
tinues in the race there is little doubt
ot his election. His opponents argue
that he is not a fit man for the place be-
cause he is not a property owner either in
the city or county, and that he only lived in
Gainesville during election days. Mr. Jack-
fon's friends meet this argument by saying
the fact that their candidate does not pos-
sess property is all the better reason that
he will favor no one when ho is elected,
and that he is therefore better qualified to
see that the city laws are enforced in re-
?ard to taxation. Judge Walker was mayor
or four terms in the early days and would
make a good mayor. Mr. Bianton served
three terms as city attorney and he, too,
would make a good mayor.

Sixty-Dollar Machine
FOR
$32 75,
WITH A COPT OF THB
WEEKLY NEWS
FOR ONE YEAR.
The manufacturers claim for THE " I'KB-
MIUM" that it has been Improved and simpli-
fied In all its details by the best inoehanlcm
talent In America, who, with unlimited re-
sources at their command, have combined
only that which is practicable and dispensed
with all complicated surroundings generally
found In other machines. It ls the simplest
Machine, having tho Fewest Parts, all Strong,
and with case-hardened Bearings. Being fre«
from complications, it is easily cared for,
never gets out of order, and ls always ready
for use. The most Inexperienced can readily
manage It. It has all the modern appliance®
and conveniences that go to malte up the sum
of excellences, successfully combining Sim-
plicity, Durability, Reliability, Speed,
Strength and Beauty, producing a machine un-
equalcd for case of management and capacity
for wide ransre of work.
THE " PHEMTOM » HIGH-AHi*
Is light running ana noiseless, uses a
STRAIGHT SELF-SETTING NEEDLE, an i
makes the double-thread " Lock Stitch." Itl (
the perfection of mechanism for Heminh g
Felling, Binding, Cording, Braiding, Seaml g
Tackling, Ruffling, Gathering, Embroidorfag
Hem Stitching, Quilting, etc. It is adapte J to
every variety of sewing, from the lljjhtesJ
muslins to the heaviest cloth, and will do
greater ran <e of work than any other machine.
The Woodwork Is unique and attractive Sa
style, and substantially made from well-sea-
soned and carefully selected material. Its ele-
gant finish anil rich trimmings are In good
taste, and harmonize with the excellent work-
manship o £ the machine. Far more handsome
and ornamental than the ordinary style of
woodwork, it is at the same time of equal du-
rability, utility and good finish.
WARRANTEE—The usual five-year war-
rantee is given to as by the maauf actucers, and
we in turn guarantee every machine to give
full and entire satisfaction, and agiee with
every purchaser to duplicate auy part that
proves defective In five years FREE OF
OIIARGE (Shuttles, Needles aud Bobbins ei
cepted).
NO RISK WHATEVER.
So great Is our confidence and Knowledge ot
tho superiority of the "Premium" High Arm
that we further agree with every purchaser to
REFUND THE MONEY in case full satisfaction
is not given by the machine in every particu-
lar after a month's trial.
Tailors, Dressmakers, Seamstresses, Manu-
facturers of Clothing, Shirts, Skirts, Corsets,
Umbrellas, etc .will find one of Its best recom-
mendations is its special adaptation to their
wants and range of work.
THE AUTOMATIC TEN3IOH
when once properly regulated, will rarely
need to be changed, and, as a general rule,
the whole range of family sewing can be don®
without any change of tension whatever. This
result Is obtained by nicely adjusted springs
that will accommodate themselves to the slz»
of the thread used.
Our Claims Sor Superiority are as Follows!
A DEVICE whereby the bobbin can be wound
without running the machine saves uunecea
sary wear of the machine, and the trouble ol
unthreading and removing work and attach
ments while the bobbin is being filled.
A SCALE FOR REGULATING the length ol
stitch, which enables the operator to readily
ascertain the length of stitch without testing
previous to commencing work.
A SPRING-TENSION CYLINDER SHUTTLS,
holding a bobbin that carries a large amount
of thread. There Is but one hole to thread
tbroukh, making it tho most easily threaded
shuttle In use. The tension may be changed
w ithout removing the shuttle from the mi-
dline.
THE DOUBLE FEED extends on both side*
of the needle, and permits a greater variety
ol work than any other. It has great power,
and never fails to perform its duty—will feed
the lightest and heaviest goods with equal
precision, and will cross seems and high
places without changing length of stitch or
missing stitches.
LIGHT RUNNING—On account of the slmpl«
mcciianicul devices employed in Its construc-
tion, runs lighter and with greater speed th&a
any other machine and Is almost noiseless,
IT IS THE SIMPLEST, easiest operated, best
made and most elegantly ornamented ma-
chine In the world, combining every requisite
to produce perfect work.
Inviting a practical test of this machlns,
distinctly claim for it a great superiority lo
plax, material, workmanship, and in its per-
formance. It is unquestionably the moat
popular machine now In the market.
