relates a rather strange circumstance that
a under his observation. White plow-
ing with a team of four mutes last Tues-
day morning, he noticed the mutes com-
menced to shy, snort and throw back
their ears a* if terribly frightened. When
he began to look about to see what was
tha matter, behold what did he
about fifty yards away, but a mammoth
paper balloon coming from the clouds to
the ground. He couldn’t imagine at first
what this could mean, so after it struck
the ground he went and picked it up and
found this monstrosity to be a paper bal-
loon made ot different colored paper,
with a lamp attached, but not burning.
A cord was also attached, and the balloon
was vary much colored from smoke oa
the inside. Where this balloon started
from and how long it had been out is a
mystery. Perhaps Joe Euper may be
able to explain as he ts the balloon man
of Denison.

"THE APOBTLB OF LIBERTY.”
Mr. J. E. Remsburg who had been an-
nounced by the local papers and hand-
bills to deliver a lecture at the opera
house Friday night, was greeted by a
large audience of ladies and gentlemen.
Aa the Gazettes* goes to press Saturday
afternoon, we have no space to give
a fair synopsis of the lecture, which
highly entertaining and well received,
The subject was the Life and Public
Services of the Hero of the American
Revolution. The lecturer commenced by
enumerating the leading events in
Thomas Paine’s public career, from the
time he left England until the close ot hfa
eventful life at the ripe age ot seventy-
two; the important part he took in
ing the people of the Colonies to
off the British tyranny; his
reply to Burke, la hfa Right* of
which so aroused the masses in
that the government trembled et the
proepect of e home revolution; hfa
vices to France, and boldness in pleading
for the life ot Louis, which led to hfa im-
prisonment in the Luxembourg; hi*
liberality, patriotism, kindness of heart,
and above all, his truthfulness, were
pictured in language that could not fall to
thrill the soul of every true American,
whose heart throbs In unison with* the
immortal principles enunciated by the
Declaration of Independence. The many
and shameful slanders spread far and
wide by the cterey to sully Paine’s fair
name, and blacken his character, were
proved to be base inventions of men who
dare not meet his arguments in the open
arena of free discussion. But our space
is too limited to follow the subject fur-
ther. The speaker uses excellent lan-
guage, and his manner indicates an earn-
estness in the cause he champions that
cannot but impress his opponents with
his honesty of purpose and patriotic re-
solve, above all mere selfish motives, to
vindicate the name of a great and good
man. Mr. Remsburg will lecture in
Texas during the summer.

The reader* of the Gazettes* would do
well to govern themselves accordingly. In
times like these, it behooves every one to
save the nickels, and when you ffhd a
place that you can get the same thing for

elsewhere, the five cent place is the one
to patronise, quality always taken into
consideration. It is this way all through
Mr. Harben’s stock—about one-halt will
buy of him what the same aritcle costs else-
where. Remember, when you want to
save about fifty cents on the dollar, pur-
chase your notions at Harben’s 5 ft 10c.

Willie La Beau me has taken the agency
for supplying Denison and vicinity with
the celebrated Arcadian Waukesha Water,
and the Arcadian Ginger Ale, prepared
of the same water. The reputation of
the Waukesha Spring water for the cure
ot Bright’s disease, diabetis, stone and
kidney complaints, is world wide. It is
also highly recommended for djispepsia,
bilious tever and malarial complaints of
all kinds. The ginger ale is a pleasant
drink In which the medicinal properties
of the water are all retained. Put up in
quart bottles.
During the week ending Saturday,
April 17th, we have had 53 commu-
nications from parties living out of
Denison who said, they saw our ad-
vertisement in the Gazetteer.
These inquiries extended from Ohio
\o Colorado, and from Iowa to the
city of Mexico. A lady who form-
erly resided here, writing from Den-
ver, Colorado, asserts that Denison
can boast of two institutions, which
for pluck and go-aheaditiveness have
no equal in the state of Texas. It is
unnecessary to say, she meant the
Gazetteer and your humble ser-
vants. Beirne & Stenson.

There was a remarkable family reunion
at the residence of Mr. S. C. Burson last

aged 86, J. W. Burson, wife and three
children, and James Cheek, foster child,
Geo. Carlot, wife and one child, and two
unmarried daughters of S. C. Burson. S.
C. Burson and wife were married April
16, 1846, by Rev. Samuel M. Brannan,
Virginia, who is still living at the age of
96. J. W. Burson and his wife, together
with the children, came over from Fort
Worth expressly to be present at this re-
union and join in the celebration of this
the fortieth anniversary ot the marriage
of Mr. Burson’s parents.

The deceased was privately married to
Mr. Frederick Da Belleville about a year

months. The turners! services occurred

to Kansas City for Interment.”
One ot Jules Verne’s most thrilling sto-
ries—“Michael Strogoff, the Courier of
the Czar”—in dramatic form, will be pre-
sented at the McDougall opera-house next
Friday evening, April *3. The story is
peculiarly adapted to the stage from the
very nature of its military scenes and
stirring incidents. It has never been seen
in Denison before. The play abounds in
a variety of situations, interspersed with
grand spectacular effects and bfillet diver-
tisements, calculated to please with their
novelty and realistic portrayal. The
scene opens in the great Russian city of
Moscow, at a time when the whole coun-
try was fraught with war, revolution, etc.
This will be the finest spectacular play
presented at the McDougall this season,
and if our theatrical lexers desire to close
the season by seeing a good play, the op-
portunity will be next Friday evening.
The “Mikado,” one of the finest
operas ever produced, is now under re-
hearsal by a number of ladies and gen-
tlemen of Denison, and it was the plea-
sure of a Gazetteer representative to be
j'resent last Tuesday evening, at the re-
hearsal, at the parlors of Mr. W. B. Boss.
The tull strength of the company was not
out, and several important members
were absent, but the proficiency and
manner which those present had ob-
tained are really surprising. The prin-
cipal parts are well taken, and we have
no hesitancy in saying that those who
witness the production of the Mikado by
the Denison amateurs, shortly to be put
on the boards ot the McDougall, will
recognize a striking similiarity to that
rendered by the Ford company in Deni-
son some months since. In fact, some
think the home company will, In several
respects, discount the visiting company.
Be that as it may, the ladies and gentle-
men, by close attention and thorough
practice, will be able to furnish the peo-
ple of Denison, “Mikado,” creditable to
themselves and satisfactorily to the most
critical audience that may be present on
the occasion of its .production. Several
members of the company deserve especial
praise, but as this was only a rehearsal,
we shall save our good words and high
opinions until after the entertainment,
which will be some time during the latter
part of the present month.

Tb* GaxBttsb* will devote particular sttstoios
to railroad matters, mar* especially at a local
character. This will be one of toe lesdisg features
of this paper. We desire toe cooperation at rail-
way employes. If you know of any railway saw*
call or communicate with toe Gazxtts**.
The passenger trains, both north and
south, on the Pacific, are running more
regularly and making better time than
heretofore.
Mr. William Squires, formerly foreman
of the Pacific wrecking train at this place,
now stationed at Alvarado, was in the
city Wednesday visiting friends.
Assistant Superintendent Hartigan in-
forms the"Gazetteer that the employe*
of the Pacific at Denison stand very high
in the estimation of the general manager,
and the action of the men here ts fre-
quently referred to when other point*
have grievances.
We learn that Master Mechanic Clark
has had over 300 applications for posi-
tions at the machine shop* by persons
who come highly recommended as ex-
perienced and competent machinists, and
not members of any organization.
Martin Irons was reported as holding a
dark seance in the city Monday evening.
Any way it fa pretty positive that he was
here and left Tuesday evening for St.
Louis. From what we can learn he didn’t
leave any too soon, a warrant for his ar-
rest was in the hands of an officer, but he
didn’t get a chance to serve it. Ta, ta,
Mai tin.
Mr. George F. Tobin, passenger con-
ductor on the Mexican Central railroad,
running out ot the City of Mexico, ar-
rived in Denison last Wednesday, noon.
Mr. Tobin remained a couple of days
when he left for a few weeks' visit to
friends and relatives in Louisville and
Lexington, Kentucky. After he has
done the blue grass region up thoroughly
he will visit his old home in Kansas City
for awhile—extending his visits to alt the
places mentioned about six weeks, when
he will return to his Mexican home.
From a casual remark, we shouldn’t be
surprised but that Mr. Tobin’s real mis-
sion to Kentucky was a wife—however,
we will have more to say about this later.

day evening, April 9, 18S6, a beautiful
blue satin banner, trimmed with golden
fringe and tassels, with the initials of the
Club (G. C. S. C.) artistically interwoven
with vines and roses, was presented bv
) Miss Ida Conrad.
On motion the valuable present was

A correspondent has called the attention
of the Gazetteer to the word “blovi-
cating,” used twice in the Morning News
of last Thursday, once in alluding to Mr.
Powderly, and again in referring to the
remarks of Mr. Cox at the opera house,
and asks the Gazetteer to please tell
what the word means. It is not a dic-
tionary word, but great literary characters
who find it necessary to make very fine
distinctions in expressing their thoughts,
do not always find in our large unabridged
dictionaries words which exactly express
their ideas, hence they resort to the plan
of coining new words from the dead lan-
guages. This is probably an example.
Perhaps the writer means that these gen-
tlemen are blowed up like a balloon, but
it is hardly applicable to our tcllow-citizen
Cox, who more resembles a fence rail on
end.

the following notice:

20th and 21st of this month are requested
to meet on the 21st at 8:^» a. m. at the

Capt. J. M. Cook will be a candidate
before the Council at the next session for
Recorder. Without disparaging the
claims of other gentlemen who are seek-
ing the position, the Gazetteer would
say a kind word tor the Captain. He is
one of our oldest citizens, who ha* earned
the confidence and respect ot the commu-
nity. He was Justice of the Peace; in
this precinct for a number of years, and
we have no hesitation in stating, as an
incontrovertable truth, that no man ever
occupied the position of lustice in
the county who was more conscientious
in his decisions. We look upon Capt.
Cook as a man who has done what he
considered to be right, as an official, if
we may be permitted to make one reser-
tion, marrying of runaway couples in the
Indian Territory. He was a little off in
this we think, but then the editor and
proprietor of the Gazetteer is only a
poor skeptical “scalawag,*” according to
Rev. Sherwood, ot the M. E. Church
South, of this city, vide his last Sunday’s
sermon, and our opinion* are, of course,
worth nothing; and besides the custom
has the endorsement of Rev. Robert, a
good Baptist, and regular attendant upon
Evangelist Wolfe's sevices. Unfortu-
nately, we haven’t consulted Mr. Wolf on
the subject, or we might say more in ex-
tenuation. But to be candid, we are in-
clined to think the Captain fa willing to
quit this questionable practice, if he
can only get into the Recorder’s chair.

persons were converted, among them first
on the list, he puts infidels and Episcopa-
lians. I know that the Infidels can look

—its truth or its falsity. I am here to

and I am ready for a 'fight if I ran get at
the rigkt mom,
Whit reason had the writer of that arti-
cle to say that many Episcopalians “who
had been confirmed without ever being
converted, stood up and accepted the
Lord Jesus.” How doe* Mr. W.— know
that they were never converted? How
does he know that they “accepted the
Lord Jesus,” simply because like many
others, they arose to their feet merely
out of -consideration of a stupid and bla-
tant man who worked upon their feelings
and persuaded them to do the silly thing?
Give us their names, will you, please, Mr.
Whaling? It is easy enough to make in-
sinuations and try to send the impression
over the country that .church people in
this community, as a mass, know nothing
about the first'principles of religion, and
had been enlightened by a lay preacher
from the North, who Is himself an her!-
sarch.
Again, you say Mr. Wolf and you reel

that dusty old Latin lexicon you studied
when a boy, and turn to the word from
which we get our sectarian.
And fifty joined the Presbyterian So-
ciety! Did you present each with a
brand new copy ot the “Confession of
Faith,” and tell him that the very first
of the “Five Points” laM down, is prtdet-
tiuatiomf You certainly forgot that point
in your summing up last Sunday morn-
ing.
I am for peace, even if I have to fight
for it, as I often do.
You may think Mr. Wolf has done a
great work, but five yean ot hard labor on
your part will not repair the ultimate
damage.
Let me cite you to a historical instance.
I do not ask you to accept my opinion.
Take m/act—a stem fact. In hi* “Fail-
ure of Protestantism,”
Ewer says: Hi
“Wherever you meet with a region ot
country burned over and over again with
the fires of ‘Revivalism,’ there an almost
utter and general indifference to religion
eventually supervenes. We look not so
much at uie immediate results ot the re-
vival system—they are deceptive. We
look at the final fruits. The whole ays-.
tern fa a stupendous blunder. For in-
stance, the great revival of 1859 and i860,
in Ireland. What fa the testimony of
Rev. Isaac Nelson, a Presbyterian minis-
ter in Belfast. He frankly says:
‘The revival was made to rest for its
reality on certain extraordinary conver-
sions, which have since proved false and
wicked; the coasequemce being an im-
mensely increased immorality in Ulster.’
‘Now,’ he says, ‘will Dr. McCorcie meet
us on this assertion, or put it to the test
of statistics? We know he will not; he
dare not. The morality of the Presbyte-
riass people fat boom runted by tbe re-
vival’
Such was the immediate result, one
of the revivalists himself being the judge.
Sectarian protests ntism fa dying a hard
death—but it must go. The New York
Sun mentioned the fact a few days ago
that there were eevem large, /sr “protest-
ant” churches for sale in that city ! They
cannot bold the people. Let me give
you one more little extract trom Dr.
Ewer’s startling book. In page 95 he
says:
“Calvin’s own parish fa in the very
dregs of Unitarian ism, and the very pul-
pit from which that man thundered fa
now occupied by a rationalist ” As friend
Murray would say—“The Winchester con-
fession” did iL Catholic.
