Deep the veins of silver hide."

“Golden corn-fields in the valleys,
On the mountains sparkling wine!”
“Mighty cities, wealthy convents,”
Louis spake, Bavaria’s lord,
“Prove that not my land in treasures
IJotii to jours the palm accord.”
Wuitemberg’s beloved master,
Etnbeihard. t..e Bearded, cried,
“I possess no wealthy cities,
Ilills, where silver doth not hide!
“But one gem my land concealeth,
This: Where’er in woods 1 rest,
I may lay my head in safety
On each subject’s faithlu! breast.”
The Bavarian and the Saxon,
lie, too, of the Rhine tl.en cried,
“Count, thou art indeed the richest;
In thy land rare jewels hide.”

THE COLUMBIA TRAGEDY.
How the Murderer Made his Way
to Denison.
Bathing corns every night and
morning with acetic acid will eflcc-
tually remove them. The eftect is
gradual; but it is sure, and persever-
ance will bring its reward. Soak-
ing corns in soda and water will
soften them, and they can be easily
removed.
The Columbia Mo. Herald, of Thurs-
day, give* lengthy details of the escape
and capture in this city of Rat Christ.an,
I the young man who murdered Sidney
1 Smith, a student, in that place several
weeks ago, lrom which we take the fol-
lowing :
Christian says that after inflicting the
fatal vvound, he made his way to Fayette,
whcie he got into an empty h-.x car,
about time o’clock, on the M. K. dc T.
Raiiroad, trom which lie was put od' near
Oedalia. Here he boldly mat cited into a
passenger car, and by lei^hing to be
asleep, when the conductor made tus
rounds, succeeded in riding some distance
beyond Parson*. Kansas, betore being
put oil’ again. He again boarded the
Texas bound train, and was once more
put off in the Indian Nation. Here lie
sold tiisoveicoai foi fifty cents, and with
the proceeds engaged in card playing,
by which lie increased capUai <wcnty
cents mine, that being the sum total .’t
Ins winnings. Meeting with a lough
character by the name oi .Kelly, who w..s
also moving toward Texas, tne two
joined fortunes and by sum • hook anil
‘Took, known onlv to themselves, they
both got to Denison on tne following
Suture ay evening. Here a ftieml 01 Chris-
tian’s arranged for him to get supper
at a hotel, but Kelley proposing that they
adjourn to a saloon and take a drink,
the sugg btion was immediately acted
upon. But neither puny bad any
monev, and the drinks, if any were to be
had a! all, must be secured by stratagem.
Kelly felt himself equal to the emergency.
Finding a drunken tnan inside Iv imme-
diately put at him to "s T ’em up.” This
tne stranger reiuscd to do, but called lor
a drink lor himself. Kelly seeing no
chance t> make the fehow treat t e
crowd, determined to get a drink himsed
any how, and calling the man’s attention
away, he adroitly drained the glass. This
raised a row, and a policeman being at-
tracted by the melee, made his appear-
ance and "took in” the whole party.
Christian gave hi* name ns "Chris-
tian,” and was immediately recognized
from tin: teleg apltic description, previ-
ously sent by Sheriff Gidaspv, a-- the
man wanted at Columbia
Thus by a strange coincidence he was
captured on Saturday night, just one
week from tiie time he ni.de the l.ttal
thrust that deprived young Smith of his
lite, and by another coincidence he g<>!
h.ics to Columbia in chains on the fol-
.lowing Saturday evening, just one week
from the time he was captured
A New Horie lteiuedv.
Little as many mav think, it i* proved
by experiment, that by mixing with one
feed, each day, about a tablespoonful of
Simmons’ Liver Regulator, ,houses that
are let down will improve in health, be-
come hearty caters, slied otf well, and get
in condition sooner -than by any other
remedy. It slightly moves the bowels if
given in larger dose*, and is easily ad-
ministered by mixing the powder with
the food, for stock will eat it Major
Bacon, the great stock farmer of South
Carolina, u»es it fot stock and chickens

SPIRITUAL TESTS AT HOUSTON.
E. V. Wilsoi:, the “inspirational”
lecturer, spoke in Perkins Hall,
Houston, last Sunday. At the close
of his lecture he gave several re-
markable tests. The Telegraph
narrates the following, and pronoun-
ces them very striking:
He read at length the phrenologi-
cal and physiological character and
characteristics ot' Mr. T. H. Scan*
lau and Dr. Flewellyn. These gen-
tlemen themselves said that he was
correct, and other gentlemen in the
room, who knew them well and had
for years, testified to the same thing.
He gave events in the past life of
each one ot them,commencing when
they Acre mere children, and coin-
ing up to recent Bate, which they
stated wue true. Of nine events
given in the past life of Dr. Flew-
eilyn, a mistake was made as to date
in one of them.
A brother and sister of Mr. Scan-
lau, long since dead, who, Mr. Wil-
son said, were standing by his side,
weie described as accurately, Mr.
Scanlan declared, as if they had
been stan ling in the flesh before
him. Mr. Scanlan was also told that
lie suffered from sciatic rheumatism
of the left hip, inherited from his
fathei, which Mr. S. stated was
true.
The wonderful thing about these
statements, aside from their accura-
cy, is the fact that Mr. Wilson had
his back to the audience when these
gentlemen were selected—Mr. Scan-
lan by Col. R. I). Westcott, and Dr.
Flewellyn by Mr. Paul Bremond—
and did not see them. He touched
the hands of Ctl. 'Wescott and Mr.
Bremond, each ot whom laid his
hand on the shoulder of the subject
he selected.
No Exeunt: for Being Sick.
No per-on can use Boschee’s German,
Syrup without getting immediate relief

Coughs, Colds or Consumption, or any

Co. Denison, Texas, and gel a botde for
75 cents and trv it—Two doses will re-
lieve you .Sample bottles 10 cents each-
