Mr.. HENRY STORY, mattress maker
living on East Avenue, concluded that
the only way to close up the saloons
and stop the selling Of strong drink
here at the capital was to drink all the
whisky that he could get. He started
out on his work of temperance some
three weeks ago, and on last Sunday
he succeeded in drinking thirty-six
wine glasses Of whisky, and in addi-
ton to this he stole jug from the par
ties watching him, and drank it
empty before they could get it awsy,
from the effects of which he died
about about 10 o'clock Sunday night.
He leaves sn insane wife and one little
child. which has been taken home by
one Of the kind nelghbors.

A L1ano Cattle Drive.

Mr.. John Browns soul from up about
Llano has been marching In, this direc-
ton for several days with seventy head
of cattle, forming brilliant procession
in front of it. He had stolen the cat
tie and drove them to this city, and
then over to Mr.. Allison's ranch, on
Plum creek, and sold them to that
gentleman, and received in payment a
check on the First National Bank, and
Mr.. John Browns soul was supremely
happy, and would have been still
marching on had not Sheriff Kuken-
dali, of Llano, followed him and no.
tilted the officers OF this county of his
little pastimes. After Mr.. Brown dis
posed of the cattle and received the
check he at once repaired to this city
to get it cashed. The officers who had
been notified were concealed near the
bank, and the bank officials, who had
been informed of the doings Of Mr..
Brown, were requested to put him of
with some excuse when he presented
the check. MIR. Brown, of course, was
not aware of these magnificent little
schemes, and on his arrival in the city
proceeded to the bank to get his money.
The cashier requested that he get some
one to recognize him before cashing
the check. This was sad news for Mr.
Brown, and he must have ''smelt a
large-sized MICE" and instead of quiet
ly looking up some of his acquaint-
snces he concluded to hastily put his
soul in marching order without the
money and started for his horse, and
was about mounting when Officer Lock,
who had been watching his mo Vements,
nabbed him and, with Sheriff Kirk
and several other officers forming SOL
emn procession and softly humming
"John Browns soul is a marching"
conducted him to Jail and locked him

The FoundatIon Of HeaIth:

Without substratum, foundation
of vigor, there can be no true health.
The puny and the weak have all sorts
of aches and pains, rot necessarily be-
cause they are positively diseased, but
because the vital machinery bitches
aud halts for want of the impetus
which abundant vitality would give it.
The blood enriching tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters supplies deficient en-
ergy by enabling the stomach to per-
form its digestive functions actively
and unlnterruptedly. The result OF
this Is the distribution of stores of vi
tslity to the remotest parts of the syss
tenn. an increase of muscular energy
and the disappearance of those nervous
symptoms which accompany. and pro-
coed from debility. Irregulsrity of the
bowels, torpidity OF the liver, rheu-
matte aIlment and mslarisl feYers are
prominent among the actual diseases
eradicsted by this signslly efficacious
medicine.

The Wool Trade.

The receipts of wool have been in
creasing during the past few days, and
it is likely it will soon commence to ar
rive in large quantities. In foreign
markets during the month the demand
fell of, and prices on fleece woods de-
c.ined from TO 2 cents, aud the mar
ket at this time is weak. 1t Is not prob
able, however, that prices will continue
to decline, Notwithstanding, spectators
will probably attempt to force reduc-
tIon. A New York report received yer
terdsy says: ''At no time, probably, has
the future Of the market been as aDx-
iously considered as to-day. The stock
OF foreign wool in manufacturers and
dealers hands has not been as large,
probably, since 1872. The supply OF
fieeces in the East Is probably about as
small as former years, while the West
was so thoroughly cleaned out of old
wool in January, that western manu-
facturers have since got their supplies
largely from the East. About all OF
the direct lmportations of foreign
wonls, except possibly few cargoes
from Cape OF Good Hope, have arrived,
into consumption. The recent advance
in prices at the opening of London
sales indicates very firm feeling there,
and 1t Is doubtful if any more wool eau
be obtained from foreign markets this
year, while it is reasonably certain that
il values in Europe continue firm, our
surplus Of foreign wool will be reshIp-
ped should prices decline here. The
lateness OF the season has affected the
distribution of spring woolens among
consumers, and the wholesale business
has been affected during the past few
weeks. Most of the mills, however,
are still running on unfinished orders,
and with the advance in the cost of
labor, and continued high price for
wool, it is not likely that goods can be
produced any cheaper. As the profits
of the coming season depend largely on
the price at which the new clip will be
marketed, strong effort will be exert
ed to depress the market, and it is pos
sible that 1t may be partially success-
full; but there are influences equally as
potent to sustain prices. and we are in
clined to look for fairly quiet market
without much, if any, change IN prices,
during the coming month" Texas
woods are quoted in New York and
Boston, as follows: Fine western 80 to
80, average 80 to 80; medium western
80 to 35, average 80 to SO; improved
Mexican % to 80, average 20 to 81;
Mexican 90 to "a, average 10 to %.
BURY woods, value nominal. A few
clips of wool sold In this city yesterday
and. the day before, brought 80 lac.
Wool growers are informed that our
buyers will pay the highest prices pos
sible, and having ample shipping fscili-
ties, are prepared to do rs well, if not
better, by them than they can hope to
have done at other points. The ruling
prices now paid in the city, range from
80 to &c., with no indication of per-
mapent decline.

a success: After the vine is about two
feet long, cover the vine at point IN

divide the vine between the old and

the melons will be seedless, without
