The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-04-22


Pickell was building, and scattering the
loose lumber about promiscuously Mr.
Pickell says he was blown off his feet, that
wagons were upset, and things scattered
about generally. The hurricane seemed to
be about two hundred yards wide, and it
left its mark as it passed along by leveling
fences, uprooting trees, ETC.
A DUTY.-As Austin is increasing rap
idly in population, and as the man vino has
prated in the Gazette about ''foul conspir-
acy" is not much known to new corners, it
will be necessary every few months for us
to give HIM a blast, as in Sundays issue, to
keep him from absolutely getting away with
innocent and unsuspecting people. He is a
success as an ''organist," and bears high
character among our citizens for being an
excellent judge of house-maids. His other
and many, many accomplishments we will
speak of when occasion requires.
Nor REsPEcTABLE.-The "organ" says
respectable people in Austin will not allow
the STATESMAN to enter their doors. Any
one worthy the name of journalist would
not seek TO Willy the readers of a city
paper. The STATEsMAN is read by five to
ten times the number of citizens in Austin
that the 'organ" is, and if We have one
patron not more worthy of respect and
public confidence than the 'organ"
grinder, we will let him name the man, at
the peril of getting booted off the sidewalk
LADIES, LOOK HERE.-No preparation
ever discovered has been as successful in
the cure ofall diseases to which the women
of our country are so subject as Dr. H. w.
Clouds Invigorating Cordial. Weakness,
debility, melancholy, whites, falling of the
womb and every form of nervous prostra-
ton. Only try one bottle, and you will be
entirely satisfied of the truth of our asser-
ton. Sold by all druggists. Morley Bros,
druggists, wholesale agents.
STRAYED OR SroLEN.-We call atten-
ton to an advertisement, in another column,
in regard to four horses which straYed or
have been stolen from the advertiser, who
offers a reward for their recovery. Horse
stealing is getting so common that officers
and the public generally should scrutinize
every horse they see in the hands of stran-
gers, by which means they might occasional
ly be enabled to pick up thief and pocket
a reward.
n u NJ naxr skac
that about sixteen horses will arrive in
Galveston from New Orleans, inclusive of
Harvey Felter, Bonaventure, Galway, Fall
mouth, Sweet Boy and others. These are
all first class horses, and certainly it will
be no disgrace for our Austin horses to be
beaten by such stock. Mr.. Gay does not
know whether any of the horses from New
Orleans will be sent to Austin or not.
THE ''organ" claims that we have lost a
large number of subscriptions in conse-
quence of the attack made by the STATES
MAN upon the city bond transaction. We
did lose one, Mayor Wheeler, but at least
forty new subscribers, in consequence of
the same thing; have been placed upon our
daily list alone. That one is q host accord
ing to the estimation of the ''organ."
If your kidneys are out of order, or your
bladder inhamed, or if you suffer in any
way from the effects of previous disease of
these organs, use Clouds Compound Fluid
Extract of Buchu and iva Ursi. 1t is pro-
nounced by those who have used it to be
the best preparation of the kind known to
the public.
DIR. J. F. MATCHET, of Waco, writes a
private letter to this Office, in which he
says: 81 viii ever hold in dear remem-
brance my pleasant trip to Austin" The
people of Austin remember the con7ocation
of the learned doctors, and their presence
in our beautiful little city with very great
pleasure, and, particularly, the agreeable
DR.. Matchet, of Waco.
THREE LINEs.-We hear that the locat-
ing engineers of the International Railroad
have been instructed to run three lines from
ROckdale to this city, and that these in
structions are now.being carried out. This
perhaps means that the people shall be kept
in the dark as to where the road will enter
the city, and the depOts established.

MAIL SACK STOLEN. = One of the mail
sacks which left the Austin postOfice last
Friday morning was stolen, cut open and
the letters opened. Major Cox arrested
the party who stole the sack and he is now
in the Houston Jail. Parties who mailed
letters containing money last Thursday viii
not be pleased to read this local.
ISrERSArIoxL COSTRAcToRs.-We un-
derstand that several railroad builders arc
now IN the city waiting to get grading con-
tracts on the International Railroad between
Rockdale and Austin. There Is in this city
a scrt Of feverish anxiety to seethe whole
line between the above points put under
contract.
