A Rare Medicinal Com binatIon.

Perhaps the rarest, certainly the most
successful, medicinal combination extant Is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In this COM
handing tonic, corrective and preventive,
are blended some of the most actively in
vigorstipg, alternative and 9lpod pspurating
elements in the vegetable kingdom. These
are held In solution and Poyerfully7 sided
by the best dlsfusive stimulant known-old
rye whiskey. Is it any wonder that easy
digestion, regular excavations, natural
flow of bile, purity of the blood, and
chserfulness of mind, should be vigorously
promoted by a preparation in which such
admirable Ingredients are most harmonious
" combined and act in perfect unionl The
faith.felt by the medical profession in the
restorative efficacy Of this medicine, and its
power to nulhfy the influence OF malaria,
is expressed over the signatures of many
eminent physicians, and their expressions
of confidence are fully ratified by the peO-
pie and the press, ,sis3 ikt

a San Francisco correspondent thus de-
scribes some of the novel effects of the Big
Bonanza silver movement upon business
there: "The discount on silver begins to
make curious complications in currency and
commerce, and everyone is alarmed at the
prospect of further depreciation and dis
turbance. Gold, heretofore making gaudy
display on the counters of banks and bro
kers and in everybody's hands, seeks re-
tirement. Trade dollars have suddenly
taken lead as circulating medium among re-
tailers and tradesmen. Employees sell their
gold and pay IN silver. 10 self-defense all
retailers have adopted silver as the stand I'd
of values, and they have advanced all prices
five per cent. The great bonanza mine,
known as Consolidated Virginia, has pro-
duced in the last month of thirty days three
millions of dollars-forty per cent. gold
and sixty per cent. silver-say twenty-one
millions for one year, with certainty OF con-
tinuance. The California next north, is
opening out on the same bonanza, with yet
richer ore and double capacity for working.
1t will during this year, probably in August
be in full work. The prod uctOf silver will
then exceed forty millions a year, to which
add thirty millions from one hundred other
mines in the States of Nevada, Utah, Ari-
iona, Colorado, ETC., and it will strike you
that it will be impossible to check the grow
ing disparity of value between gold and
silver

Texas steers, 1886 to $412 10; fair

The INTERSATIoNAL RAILROAD COMING.
At last we have something tangible, relia-
BILE and satisfactory to present to the read
ers of the STATEsMAs regarding the early
completion of the International Railroad to
the State capital. Mr.. Hays, Vice Presl-
dent, and Mr.. Evans, of the land depart
ment of the road, have been in the city for
the past few days, their business being to
take steps to secure location for the depot
in this cIty, and they have authorized Mr..
A. B. McGill, an Ole citizen and real estate
dealer, to make the location, and from
him we learn that the company propose 70
complete the road and run the cars to Aus
tin by the first of September, provid-
ing our citizens will furnish the ground
for the depot This they will will
lingly do, and we regard the settlement
of the question beyond doubt
There may be some rivalry among. citizens
owning property below the city and AvEest.6
the Avenue in securing the location of the
road and the depot, but be that as it may,
we will, nevertheless, get the road, for the
proposition of the company is a fair one,
and will be accepted at once. The State
Fair Association and the street railway will
no doubt, try hard to secure the depot in
the northwestern portion of the city, and
this will be strong influence to take it in
that direction, but other infuepces,nieS bal
ance those, and we shall not advance an
opinion. Mr.. McGiIIswill canvass Bthe SUBJ
ject at once, so AS to be able to make re-
port to the company in a few days. The en-
gineers, Mr.. McGill informs us, will be here
to-day or tomorrow. He also says that the
cars will be running to a point within
twenty-five miles of Austin blythe first, of
