All manner of chronic diseases have been cured, even insanity, and from the first cure of this latter malady one of the wells derived its name, or rather the public named it the "crazy well The water of this well is not so strong as that from its neighbor, the "Gibson," and while this one is recommended for rheumatism and kidney trouble, the former is for stomach trouble, nervousness and female complaints. AVe only mention these two wells, but there are a dozen others, and any of them will m-11 you nil the water you can drink for fifty cents a week.

The water from these wells is boiled and cooled, and the crystals which form are boxed up and sold to parties who wish to continue the treatment.

GENEROSITY OF THE TEXAS PEOPLE. Something Concerning the Schools Crazy People Cored at Mineral Wells A Busy Little City. From the Osawatomie Journal. Returning from Galveston, we passed through what seemed to be a fine ngri-cultural country, the soil a rich, black loam, and although at this season very wet, not swampy like parts of Louisiana. Cotton is their principal crop, although wheat, corn, flux and oats are also successfully grown.

At Weatherford, thirty miles west of Ft. Worth, we found an old ex-Kansan (he insisted on the who was a resident of Osawatomie during the John Brown days and until 1876 D. R. Coleman, who is in the. wholesale grocery business there and doing well in fact, judging by lha appearance of his immense establishment and the plain suit of clothes he wore, we concede him to be rich.

In the early day3, when II. B. Smith ran a country store where Maynard's is now located, Dave Coleman was his clerk, and to prove his marksmanship he used to fire decayed vegetables at Johnnie Chestnut, who clerked for a rival establishment across the street (his present location). Mr. Coleman had many questions to ask concerning "the old boys" in this neighborhood, and asked us to give them all his best regards and tell them that he was coming up to make them a visit this summer.

He has a sister living in Lane, Mrs. Judge Crittenden, and married his wife at this place but in spite of this, he has gone dead back on Kansas, and says Texas is the only place. Mineral "Wells is twenty-two miles west of Weatherford, and as we promised our readers, as well as some of the people of that place, to give it special mention, we will pay the debt nowr. When Ponce de Leon started out in search of the fountain of eternal health, had he turned his steps t'ward northern Texas and drank of the waters of Mineral Wells, he would undoubtedly have been there yet, and probably this spring have been an active candidate for political honors, anchoring his hopes of election on being "the oldest resident." Mineral Wells, Texas, nestles at the foot of three "mountains" (foot-hills they would be called in Colorado), which enclose the town on three sides. The population is about 1200, and every line of business is well represented, except the liquor traffic; being a temperance county, only three saloons are allowed to do business there, and they are called "cold storage" places.

Three good newspapers keep the inhabitants posted on the doings of their neighbors, hustle for ads, and each do the best job printing at the lowest rates. Concerning the schools we will say little, for we wish to be permitted to visit the town again, and after all it is a new country. A superintendent gets $1,600 from the school fund for teaching four months "free school," and besides this he receives all the "overs" and "unders," i. $2 a month for each pupil under the age of eight (that's and from $2.50 to $5 a month from eacn pupil over sixteen (and that's The musical instructor charges $5 a month for instruction on the piano, and the superintendent gets a rake-off of $1 per pupil on this. When the four months' term of "free school" has been completed four months of paid school begins, the charges being about like the "overs" and and the superintendent gets all of that also.

If there is anything he don't get, it isn't there. The school question, or rather who shall be superintendent, is the issue in the coming city election, and but we promised not to say much about the schools but, in justice to tne system, must admit that the superintendent is obliged to pay three assistant teachers out of his meager salary, and as his office cuts some ice in politics, and we were informed that he saved no money, we conclude that somebody else gets a rake-off too, so that his job may not be so soft as it at first appears. The Weatherford, Mineral Wells and Northwestern Railway built into the town some seven years ago, directly connecting what should be a famous health resort with Ft. Worth and the Vorld. Since then the town has grown from a few houses ana a store to a thriving little city, and depends almost entirely for its support upon its min eral waters, which are truly wonderful for their curative powers.

Parties who have visited all three places say the water is much superior to that of Excelsior SurinES. Missouri, or Hot Springs, Arkansas; and one. gentleman even asserted that it vvaB better than A strictly Miami County institution. Our celebrated brands of GOLD MEDAL Hams, Bacon, and Lard are manufactured from hogs raised in our own county. We solicit your orders for these products and your cooperation in furthering the growth and prosperity of the county.

Our pork products are no more expensive than outside packers and a trial will convince you that they are better. Yours to please, CampbellAnderson Packing Co, good thing for country editors and people who were carried from the train stretchers went home to attend to their business in three or four weeks. The people there know they have a good thing, but don't seem to know-how to push it along. Their "season" is in the summer time, and their patrons come from the south, and the number has yearly increased, till last summer hey accom modated three thousand strangers. The season should be in the winter, their patrons from the north, and they should have twenty thousand of them each winter, and there are ten times that many people who would be glad to patronize a warm winter health re sort, if they knew where to find it.

Bert Y. Gibson, manager of the "Gibson" well, formerly lived at Fon- tana, nearly twenty years ago, and his father platted part of his land as an addition to that place. His father died some years ago. Many of the old set tlers here remember him. Many questions have been asked us regarding; the treatment we received at the hands of the southern people, and we are happy to be able to add our tes timony to that of many other persons from the north.

They treated us just grand. Nothing was too good for us no trouble too great if it added to our happiness. A man whom you had never seen before would cross the street to speak to you, tell you who he was, ask about what you thought of the country, and probably end by inviting you to dinner, and yo' wife along; my wife will be delighted to see yo' all." One of the editors invited us to go out and shoot birds (quails) with him. lie hired a term, arranged for the shot guns, engag the best bird dog in town, and hen the morning came, and we could not go, he actually apologized for planning the trip, the anticipation of which was to be disappointed. The ladies called on Mrs.

and if she happened to be out, left their cards and called again. Several of the prominent citizens expressed a willingness to "call" us, but as we don't handle "cards," they failed to "draw" us out. Ever since John J. Ingalls, who has climbed up the ladder of fame past politician and statesman to the dizzy pin-acle of "writer," has been writing his "impressions" it is quite the fad for other great writers to do likewise, but in this instance we ask to be excused and plead a press of important matters (we have got to report a horse va.ee, write up a swell social event, cover the police court, answer a communication, and look after cur candidate for mayor), but we will state in closing that we had a splendid time, had to be hauled in a carriage from the train when we arrived and ran a foot race, and beat, the day we left, and advise all of readers when they are seeking health or recreation to buy a ticket for Mineral Wells, Texas. Webster's International Dictionary.

This great work is almost universally conceded to bo the very best ever sent out from the press. All the better class of schools, colleges and universities use it, and every family should have a copy of it. It is the best for everybody, because it is easy to find the word wanted, it is easy to ascertain the pronunciation, it is easy to trace the growth of a word, and it is easy to find what a word means. It is the standard of the U. S.

government printing office, all the leading newspapers and publishing houses use it. It is heartily commended by state superintendents of schools and college professors. The sale of Webster's International has been enormous, and it grows in popularity, because it is invaluable in the home, the school, and the office. Bert P. Walker has taken charge of the Logan Republican and has the ability to give the Logan people the best paper they ever had.

Perhaps the best thing Bert ever wrote was a two column roast on the writer and as that was years ago we will admit that he pealed of the skin with a dexterous hand. Govenor Lcedy has recommended to the trustees of the state charitable institutions F. M. Dahlstrom of Dickinson county for steward of the asylum for the insane nt Osawatomie. It goes without saying that he will be elected.
