The True Medical Philosophy.

The remarkable cures of dyspepsia, con-
stipation, general debility, intermittent and
remittent fevers, nervousness, mental de-
spondency, and host of other ailments,
by that popular botanic invigorant and
Alternative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
prove that to citalize, not deplete, the sick,
is the true medical philosophy. Under the
old system patients underwent a course of
treatment that often had the effect of ex-
hausting their few remaining energies.
Drastic purgation, and the administration
of violent remedies with weakening re-
action, were frequently and most unnec-
essarily resorted to in cases where treatment
was the sole deslderatum. That. this un-
wise mode of medication has been to great
extent abandoned is in no small degree due
to the success which has attended the peer
less remedy above named.

nervous debility, premature decay, and all
nervous complaints feels it his duty to
make it known to his suffering fellows.
Actuated by this motive he will cheerfully

for successfully using, this providentially
discovered remedy. Those who wish to
avail themselves of the benefits of this dis
covery without cost, can do so by return

Crossing the Desert

Is generally an eventful episode in life;
whether it be as pilgrim to worship The proph-
cts shrine at Mecca, or as part of caravan
of merchants The dangers of the destrue-
tive simeon, attacks of predatory robbers
and the agony of dying from thirst are dis
sipsted on reaching one of those gardens of
the desert, an oasis. Partaking Of that which
recuperates, they meet their future difficulties
with recruited strength and renewed energies.
So with modern life, dangers from disease
threaten all humanity, but if we make use of
remedy which alleviates acute attacks of
sickness, thus preventing their becoming
chronic, we shall realize that necessary rest
and refreshment in travelling life's desert
which has been discovered in the HOME

A SuIcIpE.-The news reached this city
yesterday of the death of Tim Waters by
suicide about eight miles south of this city
in the Onion creek settlement. He had
been somewhat depressed in spirits, but
had not been suspected of premeditating
the taking Of his own life until few min
utes before the act was committed. He
went to his trunk and took from it a der
ringer pistol and instantly his mother and
sister tried to get it away from him, but he
wouldno't give it up, saying that he was
going out to the crib and that he would
return soon. He went Immediately to the
crib, took seat leaning against something,
held the pistol 70 his head and pulled the
trigger, death following instantly. Waters
was about thirty-two years old, was en-
gagged in farming and stockraising and was
living with mother and sister. He had
not been drinking of late, but few months
ago he drank very hard.

THERE is considerable opposition on the
part of citizens to further sale of city
bonds. The readers of the STATESMAN will
recollect that this paper acqulesced in the
last sale of $50, 600 of city bonds, for the
reason that the Avenue and Pecan street
were at that time in a wretched condition,
but it said at the time that that sale should be
the last, and it still maintains the opinion.
If the present authorities can't run the city
government with the taxation at three
fourths of one per cent, and the taxable
property doubled and quadrupled since T.
b. Wheeler became mayor, then they had
better manifest willingness to resign and
give some one else chance to try. This
bond business has played out, and the peo-
pie want it so understood.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY ROBBERY. - The
STATESMAN reporter Monday met Mr..
VIM. X. Judson, traveller, who was robbed
by two highwaymen last Wednesday, near
the Salado, and about six miles from the
pious city of San Antonio. Mr.. Judson
stated that he was on his way to this city
in one-horse buggy, and that he was
halted while driving along the road. by two
disguised men, one of whom presented q
Winchester carbine and the other six
shooter. They took every cent he had,
SIT, and a six-shooter, and when he repre-
sented that he was poor man, and that
what little he possessed he had gotten by
hard ticks, they replied that they had no
time to discuss such matters. After getting
his money, one said he had notion to take
his horse. TIE other replied, "No; it is
too thin Il would like to have that bug
gy;" but they took neither, and handed
back pocketknife they had taken while
rifing Mr. Judson's pockets, and then bid
him good-day and walked off. Mr.. Judson
said he could not describe the men, as they
were both masked. They were of medium
size, and were moderately we'll dressed.
They remarked to him that they had been
expecting another man along, and had an
ticIpated making better haul
PETITIoN.-The following petition is now
being circulated about town, and is receiv-
lDg signatures:
To the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep
reSentati0eS # the State Of Texas:
The undersigned citizens and taxpayers
of the city of Austin would respectfully
represent: a..-,"
That said city, according to the showing
of the corporation thereof, has incurred an
Indebtedness beyond the limit fixed by its
charter, and the undersigned believe that
the precise amount of. its Indebtedness,
which is continually on the increase, is
unknown. ...t
That the power heretofore improvidently
conceded to said city to take and hold
stock in gas and water companies is a power
not properly within the scope of city
charter, and enables the indebtedness of
said city to be indefinitely increased, to the
great prejudice of the people thereof.
That instead of granting said city new
charter with increased and dangerous pow
ers, they desire the present charter to be so
amended as to restrict 1t to public purposes
0nty-to diminish the expenditure OF the
city taxes, and to cause the payment of all
existing debts before any new ones can be
created.
Wherefore, in view of the premises, the
undersigned respectfully request that the
Legislature do appoint a competent joint
committee, invested with power to send for
persons and papers, and instruct such COM
mittee to investigate and report touching
the debt of said city and the other matters
hereinbefore submitted, to the end that the
citizens thereof should receive the protec-
ton to which they are entitled by the Con-
stitution and laws of this State. And the
undersigned will ever pray, etc.
