THE GALVESTON DAiLt ffEWS, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 9, 1887.
BAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Train on the Missouri-Pacific Derailed—A
Few Persons Slightly Injured-
Narrow Escape.
Dallas, Tex.,March8.—From Mrs. Heleu
Kaufman The News obtains the following
Btory of the wreck of a passenger train on
the Missouri-Pacific railway, near Hills-
l)oro, on Monday morning: The north-
bound train over the Missouri-Pacific road,
Monday morning, at 4,20 o'clock, was de-
railed and thrown down a twenty-foot em-
bankment, about seven miles north of
Hillsboro and five miles south of
Itasca, but by almost a miracle no lives
were lost and no serious injury sustained.
The sleeper, one coach beside the smoking-
car and the baggage car were thrown off
ami rolled over, each one on the side, the
engine remaining in the middle of a forty-
foot bridge, with the tender hanging over
one side of the bridge. One gentleman
was badly cut about the head and face,
Another considerably bruised, and
the colored porter o! the sleeping-
car had his skull fractured. The news
" butcher," it is feared, has some internal
Injuries which may terminate seriously, if
not fatally. One lady, Mrs. Goslin, the
wife of a New York drummer, was right
badly bruised and walked rather lame after
her experience. The cause of the accident
was a broken rail, and the track was torn
up for quite a distance. The train was an
hour HLd forty minutes late and they were
tryiEg (o make up the time. The track for a
long distance in this section is said to be in
a bad condition, and there had just been a
heavy rain, which made it much more un'
safe. The engineer, although in a perilous
position, remained at his post, and when he
saw the extreme danger if the train should
get on the bridge, at the almost certain
chance of losing his own life he cut the en-
gine loose from the baggage car, and the
engine then went on for fifty yards
nearly before the tender slipped the
track and stopped in the middle of the
bridge. The sleeper was crowded and the
middle coach was moderately full, but
there were only a few on the smoking-car.
As the cars began to roll down the em-
bankment the water from the reservoir in
the sleeper poured in one end of the center
coach, which increased the panic, as it was
thought they were thrown into some river
or creek. Fortunately all the lights went
out instantly, which did away with
the dntger to be feared from
fire, and Mr. P. J. Stephenson, of Ban An-
tonio, who wf*s on board, had the presence
of mind to pour water over the fire remain-
ing in the stove in the middle coach. The
people in the sleeper were thrown into one
another's berths, and were all more or less
shaken. They had to do the best they could
toward getting into their clothing, and re-
main as patient as possible until they
were let out, which was effected by cutting
a hole in one end with the saws and axes
for the purpose on the train. About y
o'clock some people from the adjoining
farmhouses came over to see if they could
afford any assistance, and when they found
bo one seriously hurt offered breakfast to
the crowd at 50 cents a head, which was
willingly accepted. Near about 8 o'clock
the wrecking train came from Hillsboro,
where the conductor had walked to tele-
graph the news of the disaster, and, leav-
ing a gang at work on the wreck, took the
passengers back in the caboose to Hills-
boro, where they remained all day until the
<i o'clock north-bound train took them on
to their various destinations.
TROUBLE IN DAKOTA.
Likelihood o! a Fight with the Half-breeds
over the Enforced Collection oi Taxes.
St. Paul, March 8:—A special from Bis-
marck, Dak., says: Governor Church this
morning wired Adjutant-General Tyner, at
Fargo, to send some one to investigate the
threatened outbreak of half-breeds and In-
dians in Holler county, Turtle Mountains
district. Trouble was occasioned by an at-
tempt to collect taxes from the half-breeds
by delaying their stock, whereupon they
came aimed to St. Johns several hun-
dred strong and retook the stoei.
Many of these Indians were with Kiel
in i£e late Canadian outbreak, and
trouble is feared. Governor 'Church has
also given General Dennis instructions to
see that the militia is in condition to move
at a uinn'eEt's notice, and great excitement
prevails in the ranks. The governor, this
afternorr, received an answer from Adju-
tant general Tyner saying that he had
wired persons in Devil's Lake to investi-
gate, and would himself take the next train
north. Mr. Makee of Dunseit writes a let
ter urging the organization of the cavalry
immediately.
A Devil's* Lake special says the trouble
Wiil probably be settled without tha use of
troops. Major Cramsie, the Devil's Lake
Indian agent, has now gone to the moun-
tains, and at last accounts the half-breeds
were in possession of their stock, recap-
tured Irom the sheriff.
THE ANARCHISTS.
Oscar Fecbe will Attend His Wife's Funeral—
Kina Van Zanflt Cal's'on Spies.
Chicago, 111., March S.—Oscar Neebe, tha
anarchist, will be permitted to attend the
funeral of his wife,who died from apoplexy
yesterday.
nina van zandt.
Nina Van Zandt was permitted to enter
the county jail to-day, and for the first time
in fix weeks had an opportunity to con-
verse with August Spies, the anarchist, to
whom she claims to be married by proxy.
She was not permitted to go beyond the
cage where visitors converse tnrough the
netting and iron bars with the prisoners.
She and August Spies stood with their fin-
ger tips together and chatted in a low voice
lor an hour, when other visitors being ex-
pected she hurried away.
Notes from Paris.
Paris. Tex., March 8.—Sheriff Gunn, in
company with Deputy H. Sanders, arrived
from Franklin county to-day about '2
o'clock, having in cliarge one C. E. Scott,
better known as Charley, who some three
years ago did business up about Brookston,
in this county, and while there forged notes
to the amount of several thousand dollars,
and was arrested and jailed here, but was
afterward bailed out, and eighteen months
ago skipped his bail and has since evaded
the law officers. Last Saturday evening
Sheriff Gunn heard cf him near Mount
Vernon, in Franklin county, and started at
once for the place, and Sunday night about
midnight he found Scott hid batween the
ceiling and roof of his father-in-law's
house. He was brought in and jailed here
to day.
Senator S. B. Maxey arrived from "Wash
jegton to day. _
Brenkain.
Brenfam, Tex., March 8.—Willis Biglev,
Algie Hunt, Gus Hopkins and Lampkin
Lindsey, Democratic negroes, were arrested
to-day by a deputy United States marshal
and ti.ken to Austin, they having been in-
dicted by the federal grand jury for in-
timidation at the last election.' Two of the
most prcmh:fut Democrats of this city
went up to Arstin to see that they get
justice. Wliii- the full truth is known it
will be found ' at all the intimidation and
bulldozing v done by negroes on the
Kepubjirnn side.
C. G- Couch, ft native of Kentucky, and
for (lip past 1U years a merchant of this
cily, died tc-day, aged 56 years.
Ei Paso.
El I aso, Tex., March 8.—George B. Lov-
ing as purchaser of the Inter Republico to-
day assumed control as business and
editoiial manager. He is determined to
keep it np to the highest standard of news-
paper excellence.
TO FIOHT PROHIBITION.
The Ealoonnten of San Antonio Meet and Organ-
ize—A Vigorous Warfare.
San Antonio, Tex., March 8.—The liquor-
dealers 'held a largely attended meet-
ing last night for the purpose of reor-
ganizing and banding together for mutual
protection in local affairs. Two secretaries
were appointed to correspond with saloon-
men at Galveston, Dallas, Fort Worth,
Houston and all the large towns of the
state, urging organization and the holding
cf a state convention for the purpose of
formulating plans for a vigorous campaign
against the adoption of the prohibition
amendment next August. The people of
San Antonio are more stirred up over the
matter than anywhere else. There will be
a prohibition meeting on Thursday even-
ing to olect delegates to the Waco conven-
tion on the 15th.
JUMPED FROM A TRAIN.
A Prisoner Leaps from a Car Window and
Makes His Escape.
Waco, Tex., March 8.—For some time in
the South Bosque neighborhood persons
have been burglarizing. Efforts to find the
guilty parties resulted yesterday in the ar-
rest of Elkins, a 17 year-old white boy, who
it is thought is the guilty party. As soon
as arrested Deputy Constable Williams
started with his man over the cotton-belt
route to Waco. When about ten miles
from Waco, and while the train was run-
ning up grade, Elkins jumped through the
car window and was followed by Constable
Williams. In the fall Williams's ankle was
broken, but he did not forget to try and
stop his man. He fired six shots at him,
wounding Elkins in the left shoulder and
right leg. Elkins made his escape and has
not been captured yet. Elkins's father, a
prosperous farmer, who lives a few miles
from hero, was in the city to-day, and says
he will bring his son here in a few days.
DIVORCED BY DEATH.
A St. Louis German Carpenter is Deserted by
His Wife, and Kills Himself.
St. Louis, Mo., March 8.—When the case
of Robert Niesen vs. Dora Niesen, for di-
vorce, was called in the Circuit Court to-
day the announcement was made that plain-
tiff had committed suicide. The case was
therefore dismissed. Niesen, who was a
German carpenter, 50 years of age, was de-
serted by his wife some time ago, and after
he had filed his suit for divorce he told his
friends that when the case came up he
would be dead. It was not supposed, how-
ever, that he would commit suicide, but this
morning he procured a revolver and fired
five bullets into his body, killing himself.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Big Fly Wheel Flios to Piecei with Fatal
Effect.
Chicago, 111., March 8.—A terrible acci-
dent occurred at the North Chicago Rolling
mills about 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. At
that hour a belt on a big fly wheal in the
machine shop became loose, and a minute
later the fly wheel flew into pieces, huge
fragments of iron being hurled in every
direction. The workmen, of whom there
was a large number in theroorn, were struck
by flying missiles, and one of them (Fred.
Allen) so badly injured that he cannot live.
He was struck in the chest by a huge chunk
of iron, a horrible wound, which left his
lungs and heart exposed to view, being in-
flicted. James Ryan was also badly in-
jured, and may not recover.
Gonzales.
Gonzales, Tex.,March8.—The protracted
I drouth in our county was most delightfully
broken by copious rains. Net snou jh rain I as
; yet fallen to fill all the water-t*nks, but suffi-
cient to do great good to the stock and farm-
ing interests. Corn is mostly plant Jd and up
in many localities. The fieldlark is quite
destructive to corn planted. The farmers
are coating the corn with tar as a protective
against this bird plague. Farmers, mer-
chants ana stockmen are all jubilant oyer
the fine rains, and we can reasonably ex-
pect greater activity in every line of busi-
ness.
Postal Matters.
Washington, March 8.—The following
are among the recent orders oE tha post-
office department which affect tha service
in Texas:
Postoffices Discontinued—Choat, Shalby
county, mail to Center.
Railroad Service Changes—Route 31,037:
Fort Worth to Vernon, Fort Worth and
Denver City railway, 165,19 miles. From
March 21,1887, extend service from Vernon,
by Chillicothe, to Quanah, Tex., increasing
distance 27.85 miles.
El Paso.
El Paso, Tex., M'irch 8.—Cmsal Brig-
bam, at Paso del Norte, is informed from
Washington that the prisoners forcibly
taken by Mexican officers at Nogaleshave
been, or will be, extradited; also that the
kidnappers will be delivered up for punish-
ment under international law. This makes
a new departure in matters of this kind on
the border.
DEEP WATER.
Another Communication from Mr. Douglas on
the Subject—His Plan.
Galveston, Tex., March 8.—Some three
weeks ago I presented the following to a
very prominent gentleman of this city, and
was in hopes that the same would be satis-
factorily acted upon. Owing to Senator
Coke's amendment to the then pending
river and harbor bill the necessary action
was estopped, and, to all appearances, the
matter is now in abeyance. I proposed the
forming of a company with a capital of
$ , the said capital to go toward build-
ing a sluicing propeller and working the
same to effect the deepening and widening
of our bar channel. I stated: "Without
taking into consideration any action
by the city * * * * the United
States will, after you demonstrate
the feasibility of the system by
obtaining any increased depth over thir-
teen feet at mean low water, be willing ts
buy from you the vessel at a valuation suf-
ficient to reimburse you for any expendi-
tures made and a good profit in addition.
Or, understanding the matter more easily
by ocular proof, our government would pro-
bably ask for a contract, the work to be
done in union with the jetty work." I have
Eince read certain remarks in The News
concurring somewhat with these views, and
I submit that now is the time for Galves-
ton's citizens to come forward and prove
that the interest in "deep water" is suffi-
ciently strong enough to aid any enterprise
in that direction requiring the putting up of
the money necessary therefor. For a depth
over thirteen feet at mean low, and at least
sixteen feet, the sum of $60,000 would
suffice. Surely a canvass of the city
ought to find this amount for sucn
a purpose. No doubt exists that Con-
gress at the next session will direct re-
imbursement. I would suggest that a meet-
ing of citizens be called at an early day to
act upon some such proposition as this:
Form a stock company with capital of $00,-
C00—6000 shares, at $10 per share; the com-
pany to have a president and a manager,
and a proper board of directors, etc.
Having given years of time and study to
this matter, and having designed a pro-
pellor-sluicer, I will offer the design, with
plans and specifications, and other valua-
ble information connected with the work,
free to the company and for its use. By
this I wish it understood that my action in
the matter is to be construe! just'in the
same way as the action of others who may
see fit to buy any of the shares above men-
tioned. Wm. M. Douolas.
THE) HIGHER COURTS.
Synopsis of Opinions Delivered During tha
Galveston Term, as Specially Re-
ported for The News.
BUPItEMK court.
A. II. Willi®, Chief Justice; W. J. Stay-
ton and R. R. Gaines, Associates; D. D
Atchison, Clerk.
Smith Bros. vs. J. T. Hjsrndon et
Appeal from Brazos county. Opinion by
Willie, C.J.
Disqualification of the judge to try the
cause is not reason why a suit should not
be brought in the County Court. Of such
cause the constitution gives the District
Court original jurisdistlon, which attaches
immediately, without taking jurisdiction
from the County Court. Had this suit been
improperly begun in the County Court, it
reached its proper forum after transfer to
the District Court, and there was no neces-
sity to dismiss it from the latter, for tha
sole purpose of having it begun anew.
There is a distinction in cases where a suit
is brought into a court by appeal, for clear-
ly the jurisdiction of the appellate court
can only attach where the court appealed
from had power to hear and determine the
cause. In this case the County Court could
receive, but not render any judgment what
soever in the suit.
It would follow that in this case the trial
might have been proceeded with upon the
original petition without amendments.
However that may be, after the filing o£ the
amended petition the District Court un-
questionably had jurisdiction, and the
standing of the case was not affected by
the recital that the amendment was filed by
leave of the court.
The party appellant claiming injury by
reason of the manner in which jurisdiction
was acquired, for that he was thereby de-
prived of his right to plead as indorser
that the suit was not brought to the first
term of the court, is concluded, because
the amended petition was filed to the pro-
per term, and had it not been so the note
was duly protested, so that his liability was
fixed. The judgment is affirmed without
damages for delay.
S. B. Ashe vs. Henrietta Youngest et
al.—Appeal from Harris county. Opinion
by Stayton, A. J.
This was a suit by appellant against ap-
pellees, minors, to remove cloud from title
to real estate of which the former was in
possession. A guardian ad litem for the
minors was appointed. On the last trial—
the cause having been here once before on
appeal—judgment was rendered for appel-
lant, the guardian being allowed .f 115 for
his services. The judgment was condition-
ed that if the execution against the minors
for this item should be returned nulla
bona, that execution should issue against
appellant. On a motion to retax costs as
to this item, it appeared that the minors
wefe insolvent. The assignments of error
question the correctness of the court's
ruling in making appellant so liable.
The statute authorizing the appointment
of a guardian in such easei, provides that
the compensation allowed by the court
shall be " taxed as part of the costs of the
suit." Though a judgment rendered against
minors not so represented would not be
void, if the court had acquired jurisdic-
tion of their persons; yet it is a practice
sanctioned by considerations of justice,
and it is proper that the cost for such ser-
vice be taxed against the estate of the
minors, unless there is some equitable rea-
son to the contrary.
The petition properly alleged the facts
making the appointment of a guardian
necessary; the trial was had for appellant's
benefit, and there would seem to bu as good
reason for an alternative judgment with
regard to this item as to the other costs in-
curred by him; the word " incurred," as
here used, being synonymous with
" caused," " brought on," or " occasioned."
For the reasons given the appellant was re-
sponsible for the item, and it has been held
by courts of equity that such responsibility
follows in some cases, in the absence of a
statute authorizing the appointmont of a
guardian ad litem. The judgment is af-
firmed.
Fanpie L. Thomas, Guardian, vs. J. W.
Leake, Guardian—Appeal from Grimes
county. Opinion by Willie, C. J.
It is a general rule, applying alike to life
insurance policies and benefit certifi-
cates, that the designation of cer-
tain persons as beneficiaries is con-
clusive. A benefit certificate vests in
the beneficiaries the absolute right to the
benefit money, atthe death of the party to
whom issued', and the same rule should ob-
tain as to them which holds as to wills and
life policies.
In this case the application named the
children to receive the benefit money; the
certificate issued to " his children," with-
out naming them, the certificate would con-
trol in the distribution and not the applica-
tion, for the certificate might have been de-
clined, had its terms been acceptable to the
applicant. If accepted, however, the appli-
cant is in like condition as he who 'pro-
poses a contract and accepts another and a
different contract.
The proposition that the certificate and
application must bo construed together so
as to harmonize upon the idea that it was
intended to benefit such children as were
then in existence must be taken with an al-
lowance for provisions made injthe by-laws
of the benefit society issuing the certificate.
All these go to show that the object of this
society is to benefit the entire family of a
member, and there are no provisions allow-
ing an applicant to designate certain mem-
bers of nis family, or to change benefi-
ciaries at pleasure. This might possibly
be done by express consent of the society,
but this intent would need to be clearly evi-
denced.
Upon this reasoning it is held that child-
ren born after the issuance of the certifi-
cate are entitled to share in the benefit, and
for this reason the judgmend is reversed
and rendered for the appellant.
Op<i The organization of the two com-
pats under the laws of the Btate; the pur-
cha and operation of appellant's road by
thejulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road; the
fail-e and refusal to furnish transuorta-
tioior lumber—theswwere all alleged, and
dajges therefrom specifically alleged.

The Central and Montgomery Rail-
way Company vs. Morris & Crawford—
Error from Montgomery county. Opinion
by Gaines, A. J.
Action brought originally by appellee s in
1S83 against appellants arid the Gulf, Colo-
rado and Santa Fe Railway company to re-
cover damages for failure to transport lum-
ber upon demand. After two continuances,
first by operation of law and second " upon
affidavits of defendants " (which defendant
the record does not show), suit was dis-
missed as to the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe Railway company, and judgment by
default taken against appellant, for want
of an answer.
It is assigned as error that " the record
shows no legal service of citation." At the
first term both defendants moved to quash
the citation, which, as to the Gulf. Colorado
and Santa Fe Railway, was sustained. Ap-
pellant excepted to the court's overruling
the motion as to it, and noted the exception
on the record. This worked a continuance
by operation of law. Two alias citations
were issued, copies of each other, except
that one commands the sheriff to deiiver
to the company, or their local agents at
Montgomery, a true copy of th9 citation,
and the other commands service upon it3
co-defendant. The returns showed service
upon one Messich of "a true copy of this
writ," the petition alleging him to be agent
of both companies. The fact that one
agent represented both companies would
not dispense with the necessity for serving
him with a copy for each company, and
that this was done the sheriff's return must
be construed to mean, because there is a
difference between the two citations actu-
ally issued. Messich's agency being
averred in the petition, and he being spe-
cially designated for service in the cita-
tion," the return was sufficient. But if this
was not so, the motion to quash was an ap-
pearance to the merits at the next term.
In thus declaring the legislature infringes
no constitutional right, but is salutary in
all its results, and must be liberally con-
strued. So far, then, as the original peti-
tion is concerned, plaintiff in error wa3
properly in court.
But atter continuance of the cause and is-
suance of the alias citations, an amended
petition was filed, of which, it is claimed,
notice should have been given; for the
reason, as is alleged, that tue original peti-
tion set up no cause of action. Being of
opinion that the original stated a good
cause of action, this question is not passed
. _ _ joints
to ,
alsij obviating"
freits.
Ajailroad company has not power, by
le.-^of its line, to throw off its duties tj
theublic without the most express legisla-
livefiithority. No law has been fouud iu
thistnte which confers upon a railway
ccuany authority to lease its road. A sale
majake pln.ee under judicial process, or
thepwer given in a deed of trust. The
Worsused in the original petitiou, "hive
or pirn to have purchased," are not incou-
sisftt w"ith such a transfer; but, under a
gewfll exception, all reasonable intend-
wejt must be made in favor of the sufli-
ciepy of the pleading, and the other aver-
m<fls negative such construction. The
orjnal petition was, therefore, good upou
getral demurrer. The amended petition
is loie specific in alleging damages, but iu
otjr respects is substantially the same as
thioriginal. No new cause of action is set
upund no notice of its filing was neces-
siy.
k is also complained that the amended
plition does not allege to what points
Jiiiber was to be shipped, nor market value
oihe same at Montgomery. As has been
sjd, the allegations were as specific as the
iiury coinplaiced of admitted.
(he en or complained of in the charge,
afto the measure of damages, is presumed
td>e clerical; in any event, it was such as
ojy could have injured the plaintiff. The
cftrge, as a whole, was at least fair to the
c<]npanv; and if not full, the fault was
wlh the company in failing to be present,
atl ask for such fuller instructions as it
dfired.
the plaintiffs had demanded a jury and
Pld the fee, hence they were entitled to
hie their damages assessed by a jury.
Tire was no error in dismissing as to the
Guf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway com-
ply, because the petition did not allege
cit obligation on the part of the two de-
jeidants; and, if the averments are true,
thjy bad the right to sue both oa either,
(he judgment is affirmed.
A Double Murder.
^lbuqurrque, March 8.—A special to
the Democrat says: A horrible double
mitder occurred at Lackey's sheep ranch,
cetr here, one day last week. On Friday a
pa jy riding past the ranch discovered that
thecabin was burned and the body of Pras-
sier, lackey's partner, lying a short dis-
tance iway with theback perforated with
bullosas though shot while running away.
Lackej was missing and on searching the
ruins carefully his charred remains were
found imoug them. On Friday afternoon
severalshots were heard in the vicinity
and M xicans were seen leaving a short
time aterward. It is supposed that they
commited the crime for the money that
Lackej was known to have.
A Huge Swindle.
New Tore, March 8.—For a number of
months the postoffice authorities have re-
ceived (omplaints from all parts of the
country ibout a concern doing business at
No. 48 Ikaiden Lane, known as the Victor
Watch oompany, which was flooding the
mails with circulars advertising cheap
watched Inspector Hartshorn disclosed
the fact that the concern was a gigantic
swindle. It was run by a man named
Charles West. He advertised gold-plated
watchts for $0 50, received money and
never sent tho watches. He was arrested
to-day by the federal authorities. West
has made thousands of dollars out of the
scheme.

DebiIityv ^
Languor, and Loss ot Appetite, are curcd
by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It re-
moves that terrible sense of Constant
Weariness, from which so many suffer,
gives tone and vigor to the stomach, and
restores health and strength more surely
and speedily than any other medicifte. C • ,
Three ye'irs ago I suffered from Debility
and Loss of Appetite, the result of Liver
Disease. After having tried various rem-
edies, and consulted several physicians,
Without benefit, 1 was induced to take
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Tho first bottle pro-
duced a marked change, and the second
and third accomplished so much that I
felt like a new man. I have, since that
time, taken about one bottle every year,
and had no recurrence of the trouble.—

Or Black Leprosy, Is a disease which Is con-
sidered incurable, but it lias yielded to tho
curative properties of swift's Specific—now
Known all over the world as 8. s. s. Mrs. Bai-
ley, of West Somerville, Mass., near Boston,
was attacked several years ago witii this
hideous black eruption and v/as treated by the
best nuMlical talent, who could only say that
the disease was a species of
LEPROSY
and consequently incurable. It is Impossible
to describe her sufferings, llcr body from the
crown of her head to the soles of her feet was
a mass of decay, masses of flesh rotting off
and leaving great cavities. Her lingers fester-
ed and three or four nails dropped off at one
lime. Her limbs contracted by tho fearful
ulceration, and for several years she did not
leave her bed. Her weight was reduced from
125 to (50 lbs. Perhaps some faint Idea of her
condition can be gleaned from the fact that
three pounds of Cosmoline or ointment wore
used per week in dressing her sores. Finally
the physicians acknowledged their defeat by
this Black Wolf, and commended the sufferer
to her all-wise Creator.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of
the use of Swict's Specific (S. S. S.) prevailed
on her to try it as a last resort. She began its
use under protest, but soon found that her
system was being relieved of the poison, a3
the sores assumed a red and healthy color, as
though the blood was becoming pure and ac-

last February; every sore was healed; she

pleased with It. Though I have sewed on
Bevci al different machines, 1 have found none

sider it equal to a $60 machine, as I have saved
over half the value of it by purchasing from
you. M»s. Effik baker.

it over large seams In coarse work, as Is neces-
sary with otlier machines, nor has it broken a
needle In the four months. I think it is supe-
rior to any of the high-priced machines. The

and I do not hesitate to recommend the
" Premium High Arm Sewing Machine" to any
and all persojis In need of a machine.

the work shows durability. J. O. Blocker.
