RURNETT,S COCAINE.

A LADY's HAIR SAVED BY ITS USE
BURNETT'S COCAINE will keep the
hair in strong and healthy condition by
stimulating the roots OF the hair and re-
storing the natural action upon which its
growth depends. Twenty years ago a
single bottle saved lady's hair in des-
perate case where every other treatment
had failed; and since that early success
thousands of cases of Badness, Dandruff.
Loss of Hair and Irritation of the Scalp
have yielded to this remedy.
The superiority of BURNETT'S FLA
VORlNG EXTRACTS consists in their
perfect purity and great strength.

HoNORED AND BLESSED

When a board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known val
liable remedies the most wonderful medi-
cine was produced, which would cure
such a wide range Of diseases that most
all other remedies could be dispensed
with, many were skeptical but proof OF
its merits by actual trial has dispelled all
doubt, and to-day the discoveries of that
great medicine, Hop Bitters, are honored
and blessed by all as beuefactOrs.

Yesterday the STATESMAN was shown

Yesterday the STATESMAN was shown
a sample of cheese manufactured by Mr..
Jacob Hanna, who lives near Fiskville
The sample was remarkably firm, of a
rich yellow color and OF very superior
flavor. It was equal in every respect to
the best imported cheese, and would
compare fayorably with the celebrated
brands manufactured in the Genesse
valley, New York. Mr.. Hanna is now
making it on small scale, but next year
will increase his facilities, and hopes to
turn out large quantities and make the
business an important one. Cheese
making is an important industry in many
of the states, and judging from Mr..
Hanna's sample, there is no earthly rea-
son why it should not become one in
Texas. The STATESMAN hopes Mr..
Hanna will have success in his new en-
terprise.

The West Burke Fire.

The fire ut West Burke last week,
of which brief mention was made, was
much the most severe of any that the
place has ever experienced. Three
dwelling houses, with barns and out
buildings, one large store and tene
ment, with barn and shed, were de
stroyed. The cause of the fire is not
known. 1t is said that Selim Bugbcc,
who was alone in his house that even
ing, built up a fire and cooked himself
some food as late as nine o'clock, and
then left home and started for Long
Pond on foot, some eight miles away.
One theory is that Mr.. Bugbee, who is
very careless about his habits, left his
fire in an unsafe condition. The fire
broke ont about midnight, consumed
his house, Henry Bugbee's, his brother,
the widow Parker place, occupied by
Erastus Farr, and then caught in the
store building across the street, owned
and occupied by Robert Solomon. This
also was consumed, and it was only by
great effort that the houses of Loren
Green, Timothy Marshall and j. j. Sui
loway were saved. The loss on the
dwelling houses was partly covered 10y
insurance, and good share of their
contents were removed. The house
where the fire started was owned by
| c. }. Utford of Barton. Solomon s
buildings were insured for $1,000, fur
niture for $500, and stock of goods for
$1,000. He claims to have a 1900
stock, the great bulk of which was re-
moved, more or less damaged. Salo-
mon will remove into rooms over Dens-
more and Smiths grocery store. and
will probably rebuild when his insur-
ance is adjusted. There is some talk
among citizens of purchasing IA fire en-
| CINE, and terms have been obtained fOI

The Rest Show of All.

COup's monster shows and hippo
drOme, which exhibit here on the Odd
of August, promise more than ordinary
attractions among which is the IA
nous catapult, of which, and the fly
ing Lulu, the Boston Times says
"The astounding act of Lulu, who
accomplished the terrific feat of flying
through the air, one hundred feet in
five seconds, at COup's great show last
week, is worthy of especial mention.
The performance is so remarkable, in
wolves so much risk, and the fact that
Lulu is still alive and vigorous, makes
the event one of intense interest to all
who behold him in his wonderful aerial
flight and gravitation.
"Farini's catapult, used by Lulu,
consists of n powerful iron framework,
il throwing lever about twenty feet in
length, two cast iron disks supplied
with hooks, Il hundred or more pieces
of elastic rubber an inch i'll diameter
and about eighteen inches in length,
with iron eyes i'll both ends, and wire
rope fastened from the throwing end of
the lever to the carriage supporting
the catapult. In getting the machine
in readiness for action, the long lever
is raised high in the air the two iron
disks being thus brought together, the
rubber springs hooked on, and the
lever pulled down until the springs are
stretched to nearly six feet, and the
enormous strain of over 10000 pounds
tugs and pulls upon the short arm of
the lever. Placed at the extreme end
of the lever is form for the body of
Lulu to lie upon the lever is
held in its place by toggle,
which is in charge of an attendant, and
when the order to go is given, the
catch-bolt is touched, the iron disks
spring together, the great beam flies
up with tremendous force, and the dar-
ing Lulu is whirled through the air
with the speed of a rocket.
