A DOWN TowN MERCHANT.

Having passed several siespless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cr1es of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife With what he had
done, abe refused 10 have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed In suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion Of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud-
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her, has continued to use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the prejudices Of
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %

AUSTIN, Sept. 10, 1SS

Editor Statesman
DEAR SIR I'm your issue of q few
! DAYS ago. you did me the honor to men,
ton my name, in connection with other
gentlemen, concerningsthe establishment
of the workshops of the International
railroad company here IN Austin.
Believing that such work would be Of
immense benefit to our city have spoken
with some friends about the matter, and
ali agree that a united effort should be
made TO induce the Observation-Disclosures
company to come to Austin with their
workshops. 1t is considered possible to
obtain this end by offering to the Inter
| national railroad company a substantial
| tnducement, aud in order to set the ball
/ in motion, Messrs. Bertram, Bruegger-
koff & MoeIler will give $1,000 in cash,
and viii add $1,000 to this amount, pro-
yided the citizens of Austin make up the
balance OF 1854 900, so that we can offer
| that amount 10 the International railroad
company as a cash bonus for their estab-
| fishing the machine shops here.
| Now let others move in this matter and
I shall do all in my power to aid, help,
and work for this important object.
Very respectfully,
FRANCIS B. FORSTER.

Good Advice From a Leading Medical

house, and If any one feels unwell, make
free use oft. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations; their
use will lead to intemperance; neither
be partial to any remedy that produces
a severe cathartic effect, for pIostration
of the nervous system and digestive or.

Cotton.

The question is often asked, "why cot
ton, at times, commands higher price
outside of Austin than it does in the
cityr To the uninitiated this fact seems
strange, but to well informed buyers,
who pay cash, It is as clear as day. Cash
buyers are generally governed by the
price in Galveston, or some leading cotton
market, and the telegraph informs them,
from day to day, of the price of cotton,
and they govern themselves accordingly.
In the little towns, where It'll said higher
prices are paid, a greater portion of the
amount is paid In goods, which are put
up to high figures for the occasion. Cot
ton Mt ten cents, cash, in this city, is bet
ter than ten and halfcents where goods
are rendered in part payment. The cot.
ton buyers of Austin are paying the very
highest prices possible, and they pay
every cent in money.

The HUMAN HAIR-HOw To PRE-

abuse this delicate and beautiful Orna-

of cocoanut oil, etc., is unriyaled as a

AFTER LIES Fitful Fe-
yer He Sleeps Well"
Detailed History of the Pres.
ident's Approach to
the Grave.
GENERAL ARTHUR HOPEFUL.

New YORK, September 19.-Gene-
raj Arthur remained in his house
this morning, receiving but few call.
ers. A reporter called on him, but
he declined an interview, sending
word that he had received nothing
but official bulletins. He had pre-
viously stated, however, that he was
ready to obey the summons made by
the cabinet, and he hoped the presi-
dents strong constitution and the
careful nursing he receives would
enable him to soon resume his du-
ties.
At the Fifth Avenue hotel, up to
noon, the only bulletin received
was that sent at O'Clock from FL
boron, and many anxious citizens
have crowded the hotel in hopes of
receiving more encouraging news.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
The following official bulletin has
lust been received:
ELBERoN, September 10, 1890 p.
m.-The chill from which the presi-
dent was suffering at the time the
morning bulletin was issued, lasted
about fifteen minutes, and was fol-
lowed BY q febrile rise of the tenn
perature and sweating. He slept
most of the time, but his normal
condition has not materially changed
since. His temperature is now 1872,
pulse 104, respiration 20.
GIVING UP HOPE.
LONG BRANCH, September 49,
7:25 P. M.-Dr. Agnew says he does
not feel much encouraged. by the
evening bulletins The case is still
critical.
PER CONTRA.
ELBERoN, September 1913 P. M
DR.. Bliss thinks it probable that the
president will not have chill to-
night. In as much as his tempera-
ture has risen slightly, he considers
the affection of the lung to be some
what better.
MACvEAGH TO LOWELL
ELBERoN, N, j., September 49,
At 10 O'Clock tonight the following
was sent to Minister Lowell by At
torney-General, MacVeagh: The
president had another chill of con-
siderable seversity this morning,
which was followed soon after
by another. The chill of last
evening left him very weak
indeed, and his pulse became
moro frequent and feeble than at
any time since he recovered from
the immediate shock of the wound,
and his general symptoms were more
alarming during the day. His
system has recovered to some
extent, and he has passed the
afternoon and evening comfortably.
At this hour he is resting quietly
and no disturbance is expected dur
ing the night. There has been no
gain whatever in strength, and con-
sequently an increased anxiety is
felt. McVEAGH.
