A FRIEND of ours said yesterday that he
had no faith in the effectiveness of sdver-
Using. We agreed to give him five dollars
to let US say in the STATESMAN that he
would give twenty-five cents apiece, at his
residence, for cats and dogs on delivery-to
the amount of the five dollars. He studied
about it and declined the offer. If any
body wants 500 ours and cats in their front
yard by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, we
will dead-head the sad" for the fun of the
thing.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NTaIady.

That insomnia, or inability to sleep, has
become very prevalent of late years, is suf-
ficiently evidenced by the fact that number
less remedies have been introduced within
the last decade specially intended for its
cure, and that new secatives are continually
cropping up. But no medicinal agent has
SO widely and clearly established its claims
as a genuine soporifc as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Thatit removes this brain-destrOy-
ing inability far more effectualIy than the
bromides, chlorals and valerianates in use,
is not to be wondered at when we consider
that such drugs act only on the brain,
which is not the source of the evil, while
the bitters rectify the alimentary distur-
Dances which originate it. 1t is admitted
by physicians that dyspepsia and non-assim-
ilatien Of the food produce sleeplessness.
The bitters overcome these obstacles to re-
pose as well as those urinary troubles which
are also said to interfere with it. A wine
glassful or two of this wholesome sedative
invigorant at bed time rarely fails to induce
tranquil repose.

THE Galveston police, we notice by the
Ne'cs, have brought to grief several cOlored
house robbers. The Austin police should
acquaint themselves thoroughly with all
resident suspicious characters. There is
not a doubt but the saddle aud harness
thieves that have figured so largely in this
city are residents of Austin, and it does
seem that their little game could be easily
blocked. Parties offering secondhand sad
dies, harness, watches, etc., for sale, should
be reported to the police.

REPUBLICAN MEETING The Republicans
of this county had q stormy meeting at the
Federal courtroom Saturday afternoon,
and some of them INDUCED in language
not at all complimentary to each other
language which we respectfully ask to be
excused from reporting. The object of the
meeting, which was called mass meeting
convention, was to elect chairman of the
Republican county executive committee and
delegates to the Republican State conven-
tion, which is to take place at Hampstead
next Tuesday. After much wrangling and
loud talk, Col. John w. Glenn was chosen
to stand as the head pin of the county or
ganization, and Governor Davis, John Hol-
land, J. D. Callaghan, Frank BrittOn, J. ].

The ARTISAN WKLL.-In former years
one of the chief attractions Of our fair city
was the artesian well in the Capitol grounds,
whose waters being tonic, chalybeate and
Alternative in their character, and of de-
cidedly medicinal virtues, especially in
chronic diseases Of the kidneys and diges-
tive organs, were sought and priced. Dur
ing the war the wen was neglected and be-
came partially filed up, checking the flow
OF water, which diminished to nil. Dur
ing the previous State administration an
illjudged and abortive attempt was made to
remove the distractions, but with no other
result than to exhaust liberal appropria-
ton, and, by some awkward procedure, to
entirely cut OF the scanty yield from the

THE FAIR GRoUNDs.-On Thursday last
the eighty-fve acres bought by the Capital
State Fair Association was surveyed from
the Lee tract. 1t is located on the east side
Of the tract, near the Peck residence, and
runs to the south line of said tract. We
are informed that the association will spend
this summer about $12, 900 in the improve
ment Of the place, and that fair will be
given next fall, beginning on the first Tues
day in October. The improvements are to
commence next Monday, and the first
things attended to will be the grading of a
mile track, which will be on the eastern
side of the ground purchased, and the cree
ton of tight board fence around the
eighty-ive acres. The next work done
will be the erection of power and exhibit
ton hall, and the building of stables and
pens for stock. We are truly glad to
chronicle the consummation of this long
talked of enterprise, and hope that nothing
may step in to delay work.

ITEMS FROM THE STATE FAR.-There was
on exhibition by Mr.. Williams, of Hous-
ton, Texas, an artist of twenty-five years
experience, a new and beautiful picture
that attracted much attention from all Yis-
itors. They were called ''Pearl Chromos, !"
a very appropriate name. BE has patented
his process. 1t consists of new, simple
and cheap (though beautiful and durable)
method of colOring the ''glace picture"
with softness and delicacy of finish. full
Of graduation, half tame and shadow, closely
approaching natural colors. All have ad-
mired the brilliancY and beauty of the
'sglace portrait" but on accouLtof their
hard, glossy surface, all attempts to color
them have hitherto proved = failure. Mr..
Williams's process is perfect success. We
hope some of our enterprising artists win
buy the right to Austin and place their
beautiful pictures upon the market. The
awarding committee, at the late fair, gave
Mr.. Williams 3 special premium for the
novelty and merit of his ''pearl chromOs. !"

We want to know what Messrs. Packard,
Herwig, Field ct ais, think of the city School
Board !? They are really responsible for it,
and If they are opposed to the shameful
thing, let them come out and say SO, or act
with the people to overthrow it. The oppo-
sition does not spring from politics and is
only against individuals. If there are seven
teen decent, educated men in the Republican
party in this State, gentlemen, trot them out
and install them in the places to be vacated
by the present members Of the School Board
We are not clamoring for political change,
but for decent change The belief is general
that should Mr.. Packard just hint that
change would be advisable, that the resigna-
tons would be handed in or heads would
fall What says the Boss? Will he quietly,
and without even an expressed disapp1oba-
ton, see the public schools of this city
ruined by Board composed largely of
scurvy politicians and bad men-Radicals ali
OF them?
