The Democratic convention in Bedford last Saturday a week was a model one. The struggle between the friends of Cobb and Humphreys for the control of the convention by the selection of a chairman, lasted two hours. The convention was beld in the court house yard, and when a division was demanded on a vote, all would "stand tip on both propositions. They then made the brick walk a dividing line, and men would pall each otlter back and forth like unruly boy., or more properly like drunken men. Finally the convention got tired "actin' the darned fool," as one of the sober men said, and just quit, without the formality of adjournment
A new method of tooth-drawing has been invented by a dentist in Germany. A small square of India rubber, pierced by a central bole, is pushed over the tooth till the upper part of the root is reached. The India rubber gradually contracts, pulls on the root and the offending tooth is finally enucleated without causing the patient any pain whatever. Four or five days are generally required to complete the operation. Very slight bleeding, and a slight swelling of the gums are the only inconveniences experienced.

thority that a resident of this place
was out hunting recently ami as a
storm came up he crept into a hol
low log for shelter. After the
storm abated he . endeavored to creep out, but found that the log
had swelled so that it was impos
sible to make his exit. He endeav
ored to compress himself as much as possible, but with indifferent
success. JHe -thought ot all the
mean things he had ever done, until his mind reverted to the fact
that instead of subscribing for his
local paper, he was in tbe habit of borrowing it from a neighbor and
thus defrauding the poor' printer.
On this he felt so smill that he
slipped out of the log without an effort. Moral don't sponge from your friends the local paper, but subscribe like a man.

Bank. Bedford Banner : The following are the facts concerning the Glover-Mendenhall shooting affair, as near as they could be learned : Last Saturday night the Marshal
and his Deputy, Jap Glover, both
became considerably intoxicated ; and as the town was full of others in the same condition, Handy thought that the police force was too small, and deputized Mendenhall, a Chicago book agent, who was also tipsy. About 10 o'clock Glover attempted to arrest somebody for being drunk, and John
Gratzer, who was standing near, told him that he was nrrestinp; the
wrong man, and that Mendeulall, being the drunker of the two, was
the one who should be taken into
custody. Glover replied to Gratzer
that he was "a d d liar," at
which the latter made for him in a
threatening uiauner, when Glover
drew a revolver and fired three shots at Gratzer, the first bullet
going through the breist pocket of
his coat without touching his body,
the second striking Mendcnhall, who tried to interfere, in the regiou
of the heart, and the third going wild. The ball is lodged in the
book agents body, end he is now
lying in a critical condition at the
Commercial Hotel, with the chances
against his recovery. His wife is with him. Jap Glover has not been seen since Sunday moruing, but was said to have bgen at home.

As much has been published
in the past week about the Sheriff having "gone to Texas after McKinney," it is proper that tbe
facts be given to the public through
the Progress. On Tuesday of last week Prosecutor Joseph E. Henley and Sheriff Silas Grimes went to Indianapolis, where they secured a requisition upon the Governor of Texas, for the body of Lawson E. McKinney, who was supposed to be in Albany, Shackelford county. Sheriff Grimes was unwilling to
put the county to unnecessary ex- i pense, and so at once placed himself in communication by telegraph :
with the Sheriff of Shackelford county. After several attempts and considerable delay, the following dispatch was received on Thursday : Albany, Texas, Apl. 3d, 1884. Silas Grimes: I.. E. McKinney is not in the county, and has not been for two weeks. Will notify you as soon as I find him. J. G. SIMPSON, Sheriff. Under the circumstances it would have been folly to have squandered the money of tbe county in making a fruitless trip, so Major Grimes returned to Bloomington on Friday afternoon. Arrangements have been made, however, by which the arrest of McKinney will be accomplished as soon as he returns. His
family are at Albany, and it is pre-! aumed that he will return to them ' as soon as he imagines the search j
has been abandoned. These are the facts, without any attempt to be sensational.

The election in Bloomington township on Monduy, was hotlycontested. Wm. Meadows, wh keeps a provision store Am the north side of the square, came out as a candidate against Wilson Adams, the Republican nominee. Meadows had the support of the Democrats, and such Republicans-, as he could influence. The friends of each candidate worked as zealously as it U usual for them to work at a State election, and the interest did not abate till tbe vote was counted out. The result was the election of Adams by a majority of 174 votes. The following are the succ essful candidates : For Township Trustee, Wilson Adams. For Justice of the Peace, William W. Harrold, For Constables, Ethelbert B. McGce. William Weathers. Dr. Jas. S. Faris died on Menday night at S o'clock. . Some time ago a committee was appointed by Gov.

At about 8:30 o'clock Satur
day night, fire was discovered in;
the stable attached to W. A, Clark's premises. Wm. Rogers resides with his father-in-law, and had been in the stable but ten minutes
previous to the discovery of the
fire. Mr. R. had no light, andj could not have fired the stable by accident, It seemed to have been fired by some one on the outside, where the hav protruded through
the crevices. The fire burned rap-, idly, and the stable was a roaring1
sheet of flame long before the steamer was brought into action. There was uo wind, but a current of air carried the sparks in a south
easterly direction, and the stable on
liobt. C. Foster's lot was soon burning. The fire was confined to these buildings by hard work on the part of the bucket brigade. Ehni's stable caught fire several t'.mes, but was saved. Great numbers of burning shingles were carried to the roofc of buildings opposite, and constant care was required to save them. Genuine Worthington Flour, at Robertson Bros. Provision Store. Father Burkhardt, now of Washington, was in Bloomington last week, hearing the annual confession of the German speakiog members of the Catholic Church. The present pastor of the church, Father Logan, promises to be as Douular as was Father B., as he is
rapidly uniting the church and is
winning the hearty good will and respect of his Protestant neighbors. Among the innovations introduced by Rev. Logan is an unremitting temperance movement, and he has reclaimed a number who were their own worst enemies. That the ear
nest efforts of Father Logan may be crowned with success is the wish of the Progress.
