A Prevalent Disease.


There is no disease 30 prevalent in Ameri-
ca as dyspepsia and certainly none which
has so generally bafiied and defeated the
skill OF the medical profession. The only
remedy for this distressing complaint is a
pure b medicnted stimulant. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, whose essential principle
is sound rye, is admitted by medical practi-
TONERS TO be the only Alternative, corrective
and restorative on which they can rely. The
Bltters are the best possible specific for fintu-
lency, dizziness, waierbrash, irTegularity of
the bowels, and all indications Of confirmed
dyspepsia. Thcy do not excite, but sooth
the irIitate6 stomach and bowels, and may
be taken by persons of the most delicate and
sensitive organization, who arc unpleasant

A COLD BLo9DED MURDER.
Horrible Affair near Cleburne-The
Murderer stu ut Large.


Last Sunday morning the body of
William Girard Jagged ninatcen years.
was found four miles nprth OF CIe-
burne by the wayside. Among bis pa
pers was bill of sale for horse he
had in his possession, signed by Ar.
Chism, of Limestone county, Texas.
Girard was in Cleburne on Saturday af-
ternoon in company with a man named
j. b. Scoggins, who is described as
about six feet high, well made and has
only one arm. Late in the evening
they started out Of Cleburne In the di-
rectiDn of Fort Worth, Scoggiiis oD fsot
and Gimrd riding Scaggins had sold
his pony in tleburne that evening
They. Travelled about four miles. and go
Ing off the road about quarter OF u
mile, camped for the night IN the
morning Mr.. Ailari happened to ride
that way, and seeing the smoke, rode
around 10 see what was going on. He
found the man Girard dead, having
q bullet hole just above tile right ear.
Some papers were scattered around his
hat aud "a battle OF medicine iii- horse
was gone, aai also his companion of
the previous day. The deed was ev-
ideDtiy done about daylight The mur-
derer was traced to Fort Worth, where
they lost his trail. Competent men are
still after hin. we condense these
facts from the Chronicle OF January

The Condition of the county Jail.

The Interesting report of the grand
jury gives an account of the condition
of our county Jail which ought to make
every man in the county blush for
shame. The building is altogether too
small, inconvenient aud insecure. The
facilities for guarding prisoners are no
what justice to the,otlicers and guards
demand. The expense of supportin :
it is enormous, much of-the expense
being attributable to the meager secl-
rity for prisoner sit affords. There are
no conveniences in the way Of places to
exercise the prisoners. Then they are
packed like cattle on the deck OF one
of Morgan steamers, in close small
rooms, sometimes as many us fifteen
in one apartment. In spite of the most
rigid rules, it is impossible to keep men
clean, healthy and free from vermin
crowded thus. The fault is not with
the sheriff or his subordinates.
He does the best that can
be done under the circumstances and
according to the capacity of the Jail.
But it is unjust to the officials, dis
graceful to the county, and an outrage
upon humanity, that men should be
almost sufl0cated together IN this way,
huddled together irrespective Of the
charge against them. 1t has IA ten
dency to brLtalize and degrade them
beyond what the law calls for, and is
foreign to Justice aud n decent regard
for present civilization. Steps should
at once be taken to have Il suitable Jail
erected on the latest and most approved
plan, which will protect the a1thori-
ties in their duties, afford perfect Sc
curity of prisoners, and ut the same
time be 80 arranged as to give light,
air and exercise to them. 1t will cost
less in. the end than the present sys-
terA, and will provide separate cells for
different offenses, and draw the dis
tinctlon in the mode of confinement
the law does in its sentences, aud not
put murderers with petty offenders, all
packed like sardines.

Rapid Progress Of the work on Our

THE HERALD announces with great
satisfaction that those energetic aud re-
liable contractors, Messrs Pointer,
Shields Il Co., have just completed the
grading aud bridging of the
SECOND DIVISION
of five miles, and we are informed that
they'have now ut work n large ana IN
dustrious force, working nenr the Den

grading there Is also progressing
rapidly under their interchangeable su-
pervision.
Ever since these gentlemen took hold
of this work, quiet and
PERSISTENT ACTIVITY
has pervaded It. They have pushed IL
from the start with characteristic EN-
ergy. They are men of responsibility
and enterprise, and what they under
take to do, they go at it tooth and nail.
To their capital and labor are we in
debted for the present flattering pro-
gress of this important enterprise. I'M

preston in the railway interest, and.
therefore, the more commendaole IN
them as men of nerve, spirit and BUSH
ness pluck. The city engineer, Cap
tain w. M. johnson, n very accom-
plished railway builder himself, lately
engaged in building the Texas and Pa
cifc railway, while work was being
done on that road, accompanied by a
delegation of city aldermen, passed
over the line on an inspection tour, on
Friday last, and from all we can gath
err, the work done so far, is said to be
equal, If not superior to any railway
work yet done in this part Of the state.
All of the work is said to have been
done in the most faithful and lasting
manner. The bridges particularly are
spoken of as being of unusual strength
and excellence Once completed, the
Dallas and Wichita railway will devel-

ries spring up like magic. If the re-
