Galveston, Tex., September 12, 1884.
The writer la frequently asked concerning
the relative value and purity of baking pow-
ders, and In regard to same would state that
Hortford'e Bread Preparation Is a pure,
healthful and economical Baking Powder.
It is not made with cream of tartar or tar-
taric acid, but with a substitute which is of
great medicinal virtue. Horsford's Bread
Preparation contains free phosphoric acid
in combination with phosphate of lime.
The action of any baking powder is to raise
or !»aven dough. This is accomplished by
setting free carbonic acid gas through the
chemical decomposition of the ingredients.
The free phosphoric acid in Horsford'»
Bread Preparation changes by so-called
" effervescence "(really chemical decompo-
sition) with any of the alkaline bicarbonate a,
say scda, into carbonic acid gas. The re-
maining phosphate of soda, as well as the
phosphate of lime (which held the free acid
in combination) are healthful, and supply

est Importance to the development of the

centers in adults. In the enervating climate
of this section, bone and brain food are
egseutial, particularly so in many localities
where no lime or minerals are contained in
the drinking water, which is derived from
the rainfall. A result that is noticeoble In
this city is a marked decay of the teeth.
This is apparent even in children, and is
chiefly due to the use of the only obtainable
water—rain water. Horsford's Bread Pre-

requisite bone and brain food.

the teachers exposition excursion.
About July last a teachers meeting was
held in San Antonio, to arrange for a teach-
ers excursion to New Orleans during the
World's exposition in that city. Since that
time its officers have been active in the interest
of the movement. They are as follows: Jas.
M. Carlisle, of Whitesboro, president; Pro-
fessor Robert F. Smith, College station, and
Miss Josie L. Wood, Brenham, secretaries.
A. H. Wilkins, of tho Texas School Journal,
Houston, who has charge of the arrangements
for the transportation and accommodations,
has also been working earnestly in
behalf of the contemplated state ex-
clusion of the teachors. Mr. Wilkins
went to New Orleans some time ago to perfect
arrangements for transportation and accom-
modation, and was informed by W. O. Rogers,
superintendent of the public schools, and by
the exposition managers, that the visit of the
teachers of Texas to the exhibition would be
rendered pleasant and profitable. The Mc
Donogh school building, No. 14, near the ex-
position grounds, will be used as tho head-
quarters of visiting teahers, and where the
Hen. John Eaton, United States commissioner
of education, will have his office. The follow!
ing and regular exposition rates will proball/
be adhered to by the vail roads: Houston,
$15: San Antonio, $25 80; Austin, $23 30;
Waco, $24 30; Dallas, $22 35; Deni-
eod, $23 60; Fort Worth, $2! 95;
Gainesville, $25 60. From the above
figures Ihe teacher^ will be able to make on
estimate of expense's. Messrs. Wilkens and
Carlisle are endeavoring to have those ratos
reduced, owing to the fact that the pirty that
iB expected to rendezvous here will number
at least two hundred. The train that is to
eariy this large body of teachers will leave
Houston on the morning of Tuesday, the 23d
irst., arriving in New Orleans on that evening
about 7 o'clock.
The following, in relation to the teachers
exposition excursion will apperir editorially in
the next issue of the Texas School Journal:
The outlook for the New Orleans teachers ex-
cursion is very promising. Over two hundred
teachers have written advising of their intention
to join the party. We expected to »e able to an-
nounce in this number of the Journal just what the
expense would be, but we find it impossible to do
so. We submit the following estimate of exnenses
after the arrival of the party in New Orleans:
Honm rent nnd board, nine and a half days, at
f2.50 per day, $'-•) 2t>: seven admission tickets to
the exposition, $3.50; streetcar fare, $1; sundries
*.7.25—total. £35. This estimate is a liberal one.
We believe that »25 can easily be made to coverall
necessary expenses, but we advise each excursion-
ist to put aside 835 for expenses while in New Or-
leans. To this amount is to be added the cost of
lound-trip ticket from nearest railroad station to
New Orleans and return, and cost of lunches on
the way.
Nearly all the schools in the State will be
closed for two weeks to give the teachers the
opportunity to visit the World's exposition at
New Orleans.

t"nt night Ohlson, a buck driver, went to
his home tinder the influence of liquor and
abused his wife She feared violence at his
hands, left the house and went over into the
yard of Mrs. Matchett, tho mother of th
accused. While there Mrs. Ohlson was fol-
lowed by her husband, armed with a six-
shooter. To elude him she went into a house
hi the same yard with tho Macchett building
and asked for protection. Young Matchett,
bearing the disturbance in the yard,
went outside of bis house with a
double-barreled shotgun nnd confronted Ohl-
son at the gate, warning him to not intrude
on the premises. Hot words followed, wh»n
shooting commenced and Ohlson was killed.
After the tragedy Matchett walked from the
Fifth ward to the county jail and gave him-
self up to the authorities. At the examining
trial he was put under a nominal bond for his

neat detective work.
This morning, when the offlco of the Even-
ing Journal was opened, it was found that a
thief had been at work the night previous and
robbed the desk of Mr. Watson ot $8 or $10 in
cash, a diamond pin which was awaiting a
claimant, and a revolver. Professor Girar-
deau's overcoat was also missing. Previous
robberies having taken place in the same
office, the management of the Journal placed
the matter In the hands of M. Hennessv &
Co.'s detective agency. This evenlag Mr.
Henneesy and Detective Long arrested a negro
named Jim Ransom and found one of the lost
revolvers upon his person. Rinsom has beeu
for several months past employed at the Jour-
nal office. The prompt arrest reflects much
credit on Mr. Hennessy's agency, as tbera
teemed to be absolutely no clew to the thief.

ABOUT THE SHOOTING OF LIVINGSTON.
An eje-witness to the shooting of John
Livingston by Will Lawson, Saturday night,
in the bar and billiard hall of the Fifth Ward
hotel, stated to a Journal reporter that the
men wej-e within three feet of each other when
the fhooting began, and that Livingston
grabbed the hands of Lawson almost simulta-
neously with the firing of the fit st shot and
cried out, " don't shoot I" don't shoot I"
At the second shot Livingston feel
to the floor, at which juncture
the eye-witness rushsd between them
and grabbed the pistol held by Lawson and
took it from him. It was cooked at the time.
Lawson at once walked out the small front
doer of the room, and has not been seen nor
heard of since. Livingston lay on the floor

selves of the low rates offered over the Texas
Mexican road and the Morgan Steamship line,
via Galveston, to visit the great exposition.

The great popularity of this preparation,
after its mmiy years of test, should be nn
assurance, even to tho most skeptical, that
it is really meritorious. Tho so who havo
used Uai.l's IIaiit ItENKWElt know that
it does all that is claimed.
It causes new growth of hair on bald
heads—provided tho hair follicles are not
dead, which is seldom the case; restore*
natural color to gray or faded hair; pre-
serves tho scalp healthful ami clear of
dandruff; prevents tho liitlr falling off or
changing color; keeps it soft, plinnt, lus-
trous, aud causes it to grow loug aud
thick.
Hall's Hair rfxr.wf.n produces Its
effects by tho healthful influence of its
vegetable ingredients, which invigorate
and rejuvenate. It is not a dyo, and is
a delightful rrtiele for toilet use. Con-

leaving the hair harsh aud brittle, as do
other preparations.
