fail to give it a trial. Kept at the

beefsteak, just taken from the ice

Horse Steallag.
Last Thursday Mr. T. A. Miller
of this city lost two horses rather
suddenly. A couple of days spent
hunting for them failed to bring
even a trace of them. Last Sat-
urday night as Mr. Miller was go-
ing down town he heard the neigh
of one of bis horses between some
lumber piles. Investigation
proved that the horse had been
ridden to the city by an unknown
party wno it was suspected had
stolen the horses.
Officers were notified and they
soon arrested Arthur M. Howell
who had the horse in charge. He
claimed that he had taken the
horsesup as "strays." He oeggtd
piteously and was very anxious to
keep hii uarne out of the papers.

A Telegraph Operator Robbed.
Chillicothe, Mo., June 5—Last
night while the telegraph operator
at Laoiede, Mo., was sitting in his
office a burly negro entered and,
presenting a revolver, called for
his valuables, which were given up
among them being a gold watch.
As the burglar was leaving through
another room the operator pro-
cured a revolver from a drawer and
fired at the negro, who uttered an
exclamation as though iu pain and
gained the platform from which he
returned the fire, both parties
firing two shots on the platform,
but none apparently taking effect.
The negro jumped off the platform
and disappeared. The operator is
almost positive the first shot took
effect or it would have been found
Jn the wall.

A good location for a doctor. I
have practiced medicine at Valley
View since January, 1884, and
succeeded in building up a good
practice, but my land and stock
interests are in the west and I
have made up my mind to go to
them. I have a lot and a neat
little office on corner public square,
which I will Bell below cost.
Valley View is situated on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road, ten miles south of Gaines-
ville, and in the heart of the
wheat-growing locality in north-
ern Texas.
I will advise any doctor who is
looking out for a good location to
investigate the facilities at this
place. Jfor further information

The City or Berlin.
Frederick the Great worked hard to

cannot be said that, with all his ef
forts and all the energy of recent
years, it is a town which tftrikea a strati

one of gTandeur or even of dignity
To begin with, there only exists one
church of architectural interest—in

present century. As for the cathedral,
that is a late, aomed edifice, no larger
tlian a decent parish church in this
country. This poverty is unique
Look where you will over Europe,
and you will not find a single towu of
capital importance so void of that
crowning ornament to a city, a fine
ecclesiastical building. The defect can
not be exaggerated. Such buildings
are the durable record of a city's life:
each weather beaten atone has an in
terest no less human than scientific,
no loss romantic than artistic. We
have our St Paul's and Westminster
Abbey, the Parisians their Notre
Dame, Vienna its St. Stephen's, Rome
its St. Peter's: but there no such aer
mons in stone to be read in Berlin, no
building to be admired for its beauty
or revered for its age. Conceive Paris
without Notre Dame. The effect is
nothing short of robbing French liter

None of them save an inconsiderable
