Most of the readers whose eyes scan
these pages have suffered from head
ache, lasSitude, nausea or pains in the
back; but we doubt if they knew what
the cause was. In nine cases out Of
ten it was some trouble with the kid
neys or liver. This is a truth which
has just become known, and the result
which Warmers Safe Kidney ard
Liver Cure has accomplished. TIE
above named troubles are caused by
disordered kidneys and liver, and the
remedy which cures the cause ban
ishes the pains which arise from It.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 2I, 1879.
Messrs. II. II. WARNER Il Co,
Rochester, N. Y.
Gents: From my own sense of duty,
and upon the advice of friends ] have
concluded TO offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Brights Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years Of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a Iburden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor TO obtain cure or even relief. but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make q trial lof it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came TO Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures. and en-
couraged US to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded TO at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, / came
to your office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
t to Der according to directions. and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
tom she acquired control of her urinary
fnctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
I gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. | wish ! could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as l can not in this letter, that l
know Bright's disease of the worst tyne
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
MRS. M. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo-
NAL, | desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible affection, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use of the same
remedy that l did.

HONORABLE HIGHwAYMEN.
An IllinOisRn Tells Romantic Story
of an Assessment Levied on Him

81 LuUls lHeS,
A man named John Busse, who says he
lives in Marine, ILL.,, called at Captain Lees
office in the -Four courts yesterday and told
very strange story. He said he bad been
robbed of $50 on the corner of Seventh and
Poplar streets at o'clock the evening
before, and then explained how it
was done. He was in the ticket office at the
Union depot, purchasing ticket to go hon e,
when he was addressed in familiar way BY
a man who was an utter stranger to him.
The man was going on the same train and
proposed to take short walk before train
time. Busse and his new found acquaintance
walked as far as Seventh and Poplar streets,
where they were met by man who appeared
to be a locomotive fireman. The
two men exchanged a few words,
when suddenly and without a
word of warning No. poked pistol in
Buses face and commanded him to keep
his mouth shut. He obeyed, and No. went
through him, taking his pocket. book, which
contained $3.50, from his pants pocket.
Busse says he begged so hard that the robbers
returned all but $40 of the money. "This,
to say the least, said "Chap," who heard the
story, "was very considerable on the part of
the highwaymen.' The story is very thin
one.

A GOOD MOVE,

The Southwestern Emigration company
organized in Austin last week with Colonel
William W. Lang IS president, is an institu-
ton Of a needed order TO Texas just at this
moment. Its purpose is to supply the needs OF
state bureau of immigration by inducing
immigrants to come to this state to intro
dlce industries, common and skilled labor,
capital, etc. It's declared to be not sectional
nor local nor speculative in its intents or
scopes 1t is stock company, but by what
particular methods it proposes to bring
these desiderata TO our state, we are not
advised, and W. therefore say nothing as to
the practicabiity OF the scheme, but when
we look at the names on the executive COM
mttee, we feel warranted in believing that 1t
will be success Work can no, be begun
too soon, for not only are large numbers OF
Europeans coming to these shores, but we
need labor at once for tn, construction of
railroads now under way, or the gathering
of our crops, for their transportation and for
their general handling If this work had
been begun two years ago, or even
one year ago, Texas would not only have
been vastly benefited in her materia lwealth,
but two more congressional representa-
tives would have been added to her political
poweras one of the results Of this census. We
observe that two of our great railroad arte-
ries are represented in the executive board,
viz: The International & Great Northern
railroad company, and the Texas Il Pacific
railroad company, but we also note the ABB
sence of the Texas Central and the Gulf,
Colorado Il Santa Fe. We assume, however,
that the movement is general, and all these
railroad companies will cooperate.

GENERAL nANoOCKs LETTER.

The letter Of General Hancock, formally
accepting the nomination tencered to him
last month by the national Democratic con-
vention in Cincinnati is just such a docu-
ment as we had expected from the man. His
policy, if elected, is promptly and positively
indicated in the statement that the principles
enunciated by the convention platform are
those that he has always cherished and shall
endeavor to maintain in the future. This he
supplements BY asserting tina 1.-THE constitution
of the United States, with all ito amend
ments, forms the basis Of onr union, and not
only is TO be maintained, unm-
paired, but should DO admins
tered by faithful and efficient officials. Pub
lie office is trust, not bounty bestowed on
the holder 1t would be well if some Of our
leading men and office holders recognized
with little more vividness than they appear
TO do. Some of them regard 1t as a matter
Of rightful heritage TO them and theirs, while
Others use it merely for the patronage it
enables, or as a stepping stone to something
else. General Hancock takes another admir-
able position when he sfirms that high
standard of qualifications for office should be
rule. Good government, good laws are
of small avail If the proper men are not put
on duty to administer and enforce their prin-
ciples and intents. Certainly the Democratic
candidate makes an excellent start off by the
enunciation of such views and sentiments as
are contained in his letter. We are at a loss
t. detect any matter,any expression, through
out its entire scope that any right-thinking,
sensible citizen could take exception to. That
it will not please the opposition we are pre-
pared to admit, but the very things that make
1t precious to our minds will make il odous
to those who are struggling to compass his
defeat

LYNOEFIELD BURKs,

The man Lynce6eld Burks, in Waco jail,
who is now under short respite from death
for heinous crime, has made confession Of
its history, the details of which are so revolt.
ing that We are very much surprised to see
them set out in iullin any respectable journal,
especially in those Of the great
circulation of one or two that
have published them. The Waco Tel
ephone had to suppress a portion of the con-
fession because of its grcss indecency, its
extraordinary obscenity. We apprehend
that the dispatch to the Galveston News did
not pass under the eye of the editor of that
department, but that the manuscript or
the manifold was sent bodily into the COM
posing room. That subscribers desire news,
that the reading community gen.
orally crave it, is fact as
