ABSENCE OF MIND.
Thursday morning one ot our
Denison aldermen brought a fine
gold watch to Mr. L. Busch, watch-
maker, and stating that it had stop-
ped running unaccountably asked
him to start it. Mr. Busch exam-
ined the watch and discovered the
works to be rusted so bad that the
wheels were almost stuck together.
looked as if it hadn’t run for a
year, but the owner declared that
when he took it off the night before
indicated the correct time. It
was taken apart and cleaned and
when the alderman returned for it
he remarked : “Do you know how
that watch got rusted up that way?”
“No,” replied the jeweler. “Well
have the habit of taking off my
watch when I go to bed and laying
it on the dresser, and last night there
was a basin ot water setting there
and when I took it off" I laid it down
in that basin. Some of the folks
fished it-out betore I got up and so I
didn’t know where it had been till
they told me just now.” A iellow
councilman states that he put the
stub of his cigar under his pillow
and threw his pocket book out on
the front veranda, hung his shoes on
the rack in the hall and put his hat
under the bed. and put the balance
of his clothes in bed while he huug
across the back of a chair all night,
but these accusations are not pro-
perly substantiated. Such things
might happen on council nights, but
the council did not meet Wednesday
evening and the gentleman does not
belong to the fire department.

FALSE REPORT.
R. E. Egli has not left the city,
nor has he ^one out of business, as
has been falsely reported—he has
simply discontinued the Colonnade
music store, in order to give more
and better attention to the numer-
ous tuning orders he receives, and
to get more time for looking after
piano and organ sales. He will sell
you a good organ for $73—$10 cash,
and $6.30 per month—or a good
piano for $250,—$25 cash, an $15
per month. He will call on you
promptly if vou want to see him bad
enough to leave your address on his
slate at the 3 and 10 cent store, or
write him through the post office,
box, 341. His friends will do him
a favor by contradicting the false
report that he has left the city. Den-
ison will remain his headquarters in
the piano and organ business for at
least twelve months to come, and
as much longer as he remains in
Texas. 12tf.

The Supremest Superlativest and
only Great Zoological Gardens in
the world where the animals are al-
lowed to roam at will through the
forest trees and mingle with the other
animals contained in the crowds of
spectators.
The ponderous protoplastic and
platitudinous paladium of prehis-
toric peculiarities, including the
world-famed razor-backed rhinoc-
eros from the jungles ot Sugar Bot-
tom, the tameless and untamable
grave-defiling Hyena-Thomas-Cat
from the moon-lit fences of the Sec-
ond Ward, the Supernumerary and
Coincident Constantinople Bull Dog
—the subject of veneration in his
native town—the Asiatic Utopian
Madegascar Mexican Hog, the Sac-
red Town Cow, the Tractable Texas
Mustang, the non-Explosive Mule,
the Honest Tramp and ten thousand
other rare and startling curiosities.
The management, in bringing to
the notice of the public their hetro-
geneous isothermal and proletarian
menagery of trained animals and
simultaneous wild west show, would
draw attention to the following un-
ique features of the aggregation:
The equilateral and only per-
forming Sepoye mustang—“Para-
chute,” secured at fabulous cost
from the Rajah ot Mioore—-(eyes)
and to be seen at each and every per-
formance for one price of admission
—50 cents. This wonderfully trained
little animal avoids excessive exer-
cise with an intelligence that is al-
most human and eats baled hay with
a sagacity and ease that no human
being can duplicate. Ten thousand
dollars is the wager with which the
management back up this statement.
The incommensurate and extrane-
ous only studd of twenty performing
stallions from the ranch of th*. Choc-
taw Emperor. .This unequaled and
incendiary feature has added at
enormous expense and may be found
only with this mammoth thrasonical
aggregation.
200—GENUINE DROVE-200

The world renowned and unap-
proachable sacred town cow—the
only one-eyed, one^-eared, spike-
tailed, short-horn, sorrel mooley
cow ever held in captivity.
This thrasonical bovine wonder
will pick gate locks with the end of
her tail, jump over white-washed
woodsheds, carry off grape arbors
upon her horns, masticate and di-
gest celluloid cabbage and woven
wire flower stands, do balloon as-
censions, perform upon the flying
trapeeze, catch behind the bat with
lattice work hencoop for a mask
and perform five thousand other rare
and startling feats. This colossal
wonder and dynamic curiosity is to
be seen only with the Perihelion

evening upon the grounds of the
Zooarium, and when not engaged in
sampling the overalls of the audi-
ence will devote his attention to the
performance of a number of tricks
of an amazing and unbelievable char-
acter. He will lie upon his left side,
sleep, rest and digest his dinner all
at one and the same time, and for
no extra price of admission. With
almost human intelligence he will
walk about, “stepping first on one
toot and then on the other,” and
will hunt fleas and capture them he
tween his teeth with a zeal and soul-
ful earnestness to which human en-
deavor could scarcelv attain.

bitions of native legerdemain in de-
stroying cold victuals and indulging
in the exciting sport of sleeping in

each performance will be presented
the stirring and original border pan-
orama, entitled, “The Deadwood
Stage Massacre,” employing the
entire force of the Mammoth Co-
ordinate Zoologicum in trained ani-
mals and men. The management
take special pleasure in presenting
this brilliant feature without any ex-
tra charges for the reason that they
are thus enabled to kill off a portion
of their extra help at each perform-
ance without having to pay the wages
of a butcher.

Our professors of natural history,
Carter and Fisher, will pass around
the gardens every hour, announcing
and describing the various Zoolog-
ical curiosities, and when not so en-
gaged they will paint hieroglyphics
on the tatooed steer, and keep the
flies off the baby elephant.
Hear the sweet voice of our side
show ticket vendor, Mr. W. A. La-
Beaume, as it salutes the evening
air: “Plenty of time, plenty of time
to view the curiosities in the museum
before the performance in the large
pavilion begins. Walk up here and
secure your tickets. A dime—ten
cents admits you.”
The country people will have no
reason to complain of inattention, as
our gentlemanly, courteous and ur-
bane aeronaut, Mr. Tobias Porter,
will pass through the audience at
regular intervals with a supply of
red and blue balloons, attached to
willow sticks, which he will dispose
of at the nominal price oi 3 cents
each.
Our polite and cringing gate keep-

ABOUT A BIOYOLE.
Mr. Lon Mitchell relates that
while in Honey Grove last winter he
was seized with a strange disease, at
that time very prevalent in Fannin
county, the principal symptom of
which consisted in an uncontrollable
desire to ride a bicycle. He pro-
cured one, and the currency of
Honey Grove contracted in the sum*
of $100 as a consequence, but Lon
had the disease so bad that he didn’t
care. He practiced three or four
evening with his wheel and got so
he could take a header with an ease
and agility that would have de-
lighted the author of “Bob up Ser-
enely,” and had got himself skinned
up until his clothes hurt him so he
couldn’t bear to take them off when
le night, having a few minutes to
spare before supper, he thought he
would take a little spin in the back
yard just to keep his hand in. He
had an appointment that night with
his girl and if he had known how
that bicyle was going to act he never
would have touched it that evening
at all. He got out the machine and
after several ineffectual attempts to
mount it he got partially on and was
just getting his last foot upon the
treadle when it rose upon its front
feet and hurled him into the empty
atmosphere. It seemed to him that
he hit the ground eleven times be-
fore he finally subsided with the bi-
cycle on top of him and his head
driven through the lattice work of a
small summer house that happened
to be in the neighborhood of where
he fell, and when he inspected him-
self in the mirror he resolved that he
couldn’t fill his engagement that
night, and wouldn’t be in condition
to do so for several days to come,
lie looted as if he had umpired a
game of base ball in Galveston and
his teeth were about the only part of
his face that the skin wasn’t knocked
off of. He locked that bicycle up
in the woodshed and having an old
grudge against John Williams, of
the Leeper-Lingo hardware house,
he brought it up to Denison the first
time he came here and sold it to
him. His scheme against John's
life has proved unfruitful, for though
he has been the victim ol many aerial
flights and of many collisions with
the ground, he has a constitution
contagiously hardened, no doubt, by
handling iron, and continues to ride
his wheel despite the “abruptions”
of the Denison streets and the well
known fickleness of bicycle nature.
DISSATl
PEOPLE.
Prickly Ash Bitters is an un-
failing cure for all diseases originat-
ing in biliary derangements caused
by the malaria of miasmatic coun-
tries. No other medicine now on
sale will so effectually remove the
disturbing elements, and at the same
time tone up the whole system. It
is sure and ssfe in its action. 10-im
The building boom has broke out
in the northwest part of the city to
an alarming extent. Mr. Fox Plat-
ter has let the contract for a beauti-
ful residence west of Col. Foster’s.
Dr. Mills palatial residence,, corner
Tone avenue and Gandy street is
nearing completion; Mr. Waples’
fine residence on the corner of Gan-
dy street and Tone avenue is nearly
ready for occupancy ; F. M. Woods
residence on Morton street and
Tone avenue, is nearly completed,
and Dr. Cook’s residence, on west
Tone avenue, is about finished,
Horace McConnell has let the con-
tract for a nice cottage on Sears
street, near Tone avenue. Several
other parties that we know contem-
plate erecting residences in this part
of the city during the coming fall
and spring. From present indica-
tions this will be the nicest part of
Denison within a few years.
With a great many the im-
pression prevails that most people
in Denison are satisfied with their
surroundings and that living in
beauiitul place like the Gate City
they will naturally be content to
abide in “the condition to which it
has pleased Providence to call
them.” Such is not the case, how
ever, and in order to show the ex-
tent to which dissatisfaction prevails
among our people we give the fol-
lowing abridged summary of per-
sonal views, throwing in an occa-
sional protest of our own where we
consider it seasonable:
The p^ple of the East side still
kick for f tunnel under the railroad
at the foot of Crawford street.
Jimmy Cater, the Missouri-Pacific
flagman, thinks the weather on the
Main street crossing is decidedly
too hot for comfort. It is his opin-
ion that the company is trying to do
him up and make an Egyptian
mummy out of him.
H. L. thinks the city council
should cut down the trees which
stand on the sidewalk line on the
east side of Forest Park, as he is
put to serious inconvenience collid-
ing with them on his way home on
lodge nights.
The colored washer-women who
reside on East Owings street, near
the railroad, cannot see why some-
thing is not done towards paving
their street between the railroad and
the park, and towards putting down
concrete pavements in front of their
homes. The attention of the street
and alley committee is respectfully
directed to this complaint.
Why are hammocks not hung in
the park for our tramp population?
These gentlemen complain of great
annoyance from ticks, while some
have caught neuralgia and chiggars
from sleeping upon the bare ground.
They state that after being lodged
in jail it keeps them busy for about
a week pulling the insiduous little
insects out of their skin and comb-
ing the red ants out of their hair,
and being thus confined to their ap-
partments they are unable to do that
honest service upon the streets of
our city that they would like to per-
form. Put up the hammocks and
silence complaint.
R. W. thinks an injustice is being
done him by the managers of the
Louisiana Lottery. He has bought
tickets regularly every month for
the- last seven years and has never
kenoed once. He thinks there is a
put up job somewhere in the central
office to swindle him out of his
rights. The L. L. Association will
please take notice and see to it that
Mr. Woo—excuse us, Mr. W. we
mean—is swindled no more.
The convicts at work in the Mis-
souri Pacific yards are not satisfied
with their condition. They state
that higher wages and less restraint,
more cool shade and less shot guns,
more Watermelon on ice and picnic
parties and less cross-tie brigade
drill would suit them better and
make them happier men. They al-
lege, and seem honest in the allega-
tion, that carrying old rotten ties
about in a sandy desert and cording
them in piles doesn’t seem to do
them the required amount of good.
They state that if their wishes were
consulted they would have more of
the comtorts and luxuries of life and
less of the surveillance of armed of-
ficials. Their natures require but
little of this wealth of rugged physi-
cal exercise, but can stand a great
deal of “woven wire mattress and
nutritious digestible food.”
The Gazetteer does not wish
to appear iconoclastic, but it would
suggest the immediate repairing ot
the park fence, otherwise the herd
of wild horses that now roam over
this domain may break out into the
aublic streets and return to their
owners. Don’t loose a good thing
in trying to save a little expense.
Much complaint is being made at
the manner in which the city prison
being conducted by the present
lessee and manager. It is charged
by the prisoners that their privileges,
as American citizens are interfered
with and even the commonest liber-
ties are denied them. They are
kept in-doors after night the same as
they were school children and
when upon the streets in the day-
time in pursuit of healthful exercise
they are watched by a man with a
gun, as though they were felons
and wanted to get away. A want
of the luxuries ot life are also bit-
terly complained ot. There are no
awnings over the windows and when
they have requested the jailor to re-
move the sun from shining into their
rooms that heartless functionary has
been wont to respond with a coarse
and brutal laugh. The spring mat-
tresses in use in the callaboose are
are not of the latest vintage and ice
water, w th or without a spike in it,
is a thing that is comparatively un-
known. An investigation of the
truth ot these complaints is a matter
jiyhich the high rights of callaboose
citizenship demand, and if such
abuses really exist we hope the coun-
cil will loose no time in bringing the
guilty parties to justice.
Patrons of the State National bank
are kicking for an underground en-
trance into the bank from the back
yard. This having to climb in at
the front entrance over the heads of
about 600 policemen, bootblacks and
bums who are seated on the front
steps is attended with a little too
much difficulty and they desire an
entrance that will not be so much
blockaded.
The Gazetteer would like to
know what right newsboys and boot-
blacks have of playing ball on the
sidewalk. Last Tuesday a lady
came very near being hit on the
head with a ball from the hands of
one of these arabs. Mayor Hanna.
Marshal Cutler, policemen Stone-
man, Bartee, East, Sims and Car-
ver will you permit this abominable
nuisance to continue right under
your nose?
Mr. P. says “be doesn’t see any
use in Denison having broad side-
walks il the merchants are allowed
to blockade them with vegetables
hay, chickens, etc. Just walk up
Mam street, he says, on either side,
and for eight or ten blocks it is with
difficulty in places that you get by at
all.” The Gazetteer has often
called attention to this nuisance.
Mr. R. says he wishes there was
a law to prevent book agents, solici-
tors, pedler, and other beats of
like nature from bothering people
Every day, be says, some one want-
ing to sell a book or something is in
his place boring him or his clerks.
People living on west Wobdard
street are highly dissatisfied with the
aroma of a certain swill barrel that
stands in the back yard of a certain
residence situated on that thorough-
fare, They state that they are not
kicking for a rigorous conformity to
sanitary rules, but they think during
this hot weather twice a year is sel-
dom enough to empty a slop barrel.
TRAVEL NOTES, NO. 9.
Edinburgh, Scotland,
July 31, 1887.
Editor Gazetteer :
“Land of brown heath and shaggy wot
Land of the mountain and the flood.”
Great is the power of genius. In
the early years of this century a por-
tion of the Scotch Highlands was
about as little known as in the days
of the Romans to the world in gen-
eral ; no great battles nor events of
interest had drawn attention to it;
the sheep grazed peacefully on its
steep hillsides as they had done for
hundreds of years, her glens had no
better roads than foot-paths, and her
quiet little lakes were known only to
the enthusiastic angler, who there
found ample reward for his toil in
reaching them. But presto! the
great magician of the north—Walter
Scott—discovers this region, is im
pressed by its beauties, his imagina-
tion is stirred, and he evolves therein
wondrous story of “Love and
War,” names it the “Lady of the
Lake,” and flashes it out on the as-
tonished world. Immediately the
slumbering echoes of the enchanted
are awakened by the sounds of pro-
gress, visitors by the thousands
throng to view the scenes so stir-
ringly described; roads are made,
hostelries are put up. and the hum
of a new era is heard ; still the vis-
itors increase, Steam lends its aid,
the sound of the paddle is heard on
“Loch Katrine, ’ the driver cracks
his whip to urge on his heavily load-
ed team as they toil over the moun-
tains from Abei fay le to the
Trossachs; new, splendid hotels
arise for the accommodation of the
visitors, who come from all parts of
the civilived globe—tor has it not
become fashionable—and no one
who visits Britain, whether he comes
from the valley oi the mighty Missis-
sippi or the Hymilay mounts,
thinks he has done Scotland unless
he has been through the Trossachs
and sailed past Elleas Isle. Your
correspondent, last week, followed
in the wake of the myriads and en-
joyed it much, though every thing is
on such a small scale as compared
with natural objects on your side of
the Atlantic that it don’t impress an
American as much as those who
have never seen the Alleghanies,
Lake Erie and the Ohio. The trip
is splendidly arranged, for leaving
Edinburgh at S.30 a. m., and pass-
ing over five different railroad routes,
two stage rides and two steamboat
trips I got back at 9.30 p. m., ten
minutes ahead of time, distance in
all about 175 miles, so you see the
connections were all nicely made. I
saw lots of Americans on the round,
and met two of my fellow-passen-
gers of the good ship “City ot
Rome;’’ first late company they
proved to be, from Puritan Boston,
who did what a wild Texan, like
myself, did not dream of doing, viz,
carried private bottles—that comes
from living so near the State of
Maine.
Later in the week I visited the
mecca of all Americans, Abbots-
ford. I had not time when there to
count names on the record book, but
it is stated, and I guess correctly,
that more citizens of the United
States visit there than Scotchmen.
It lies in a beautiful pastoral coun-
try, with the river Scott loved so
well—the Tweed—flowing but a
few hundred yards from his study
window, and one could easily imag-
ine when standing in that room,
which remains just as he left it, with
his favorite books in their shelves,
and his desk where he used it, how,
when his brain was tired out produ-
cing those wonderful creations that
have delighted the world ever since,
he would walk to the window and
feast his eyes on the fine view ever
visible from it, or calling his favorite
dog, walk out to stretch his sturdy
limbs on the breezy hillside which
rises above his dwelling. It is a
great privilege to visit his favorite
home, to pass through five rooms
that are pretty rriuch as he left them,
and get even a passing glance at the
many objects of interest he loved to
gather around him; yet like most
pleasures it has its drawbacks, for
visitors are so numerous that you
have to pass on to make room for
another party who are waiting to
follow you up ; then you can’t get
into the grounds which surround the
house, nor enter the gardens;
the reason is a good one, viz, the
bulk of the bouse is occuped by a
family who, of course, don’t want to
be disturbed by the throngs of visit-
ors. The property still remains in
the Scott family, tbe lady now occu-
pying it being a great grand daugh-
ter of tbe great Sir Walter, though
like most descendants of tbe world’s
her name
gifted ones
to fame.
The past week has been holiday
time with the toilers of this city,
don’t think they are muchover-work-
ed anyway, as the hours for work are
nine per day, and a h iff holiday Sat-
urday, which can’t be very exhaust-
ing in this temperate climate, hut in
addition to other resting spells there
comes to every town once a year
what is called the “Trades Holi-
days in some cases they last a
week, in others a few days; here
this year Friday and Saturday was
the time specially set apart, and
amply enjoyed. Cheap trips innu-
merable were offered, both by sea
and land, and largely patronised,
while many thousands, especially
those with young children, were sat-
isfied to spread themselves over the
sea-beach, (which only costs them
tew cents, and a few mlntutes to
reach) which extends for many
miles, and is a grand play ground
for the young ones. Here, armed
with a spade and bucket, they never
tire of digging holes and building
castles in the dry sea sand, and if
friends permit there are ponies and
donkeys to hire tor a ride into the
edge of the surf, or they roll up their
pants and dresses and wade knee
deep into the briny ; for the old folks
there are dozens of row boats for
hire, and you see parties of all sizes
taking their chances for an up-set
far from the shore. Most of the
families bring their dinners with
them, the young ones dig out big
holes, with a bank all round for a
seat, and here the baskets are emp-
tied, and some sea-side dainty being
added to the home store, all are
prepared to enjoy a hearty meal,
which is generally washed down—
oh, shame?—by a glass ol Scotch
whisky, which in this temperate
climate don’t seem to go much to the
head, but digs pretty deep into the
pocket, as it costs more than good
bourbon.
Perhaps your readers have had
enough of Scotland by this time,
whether or not your correspondent
is about to make a change of base,
and I expect my next letter will be
from the “World’s Motropolis,”
London, where if I don’t find some-
thing to interest your readers, it will
surely be the fault of yours,
