No. SIR

A Scotch minister once said no woman
could bear pain as well as n man. That is
not so. The fact is generally the other way.
Mrs. Edward Meyers of Rondout, n. Y,
submitted to the operation of the removal OF
her hand by amputation, without taking ether
or moving muscle or uttering groan. DR..
Kennedy, also of ROndout, y. Y, who per-
formed the operation, said he never saw such
heroism. The lady's disease was erysipelas,
and afterwards the Doctor gave his .'Favorite
Remedy" to cleanse the Blood. Mrs. Myers
is now well and strong. Dr. Kennedy 5
'Favoritc Remedy" at One Dollar bottle
is the thing for Female weaknesses and all
complaints arising from bad blood. But that
Scotchman was mistaken.

Closing OF H. Sprague's Store,


Monday morning the grocery and boot
and shoe store Of H. sprague, Of
thi city, was closed by the sheriff. The
news was u complete surprise to the larger
part of the community who were not
prepared to hear of Mr.. Sprague's ill
fortune.
While we have no definite Information,
it is said the claims against Mr.. Sprague
will reach $1,000. His stock is quite
full, and it IS thought, worth more than
enough to pay al! debts.
The largest claim is that of Kicker,
Crombie & Co., Of 81 $50, which is Sc
cured by chattel mortgage, given some
ten days ago" the stock of groceries.
The wife of Mr.. Sprague has claim of
some $1,000, and the North Star Boot
and Shoe Co., OF Minneapolis, OF about
$500. Then there are various smaller
claims.
Some half dozen attachments were
served yesterday in the interest of the
various creditors, and deputy sheriff
stimson is busily engaged taking In.
ventorY of the stock.
We should be glad to see compro.
mise effected, so that Mr.. Sprague might
be able to 60 on with his business. We
regret his misfortune, and hope for the
best possible outcome, as do the citizens
of Austin generally, they having had a
very favorable opinion of Mr.. Sprague
during his residence among US.

ENGLAND looks abroad with condo
scending smile and patronizing air
upon the nations of both henlispheres,
and says to them, as schoolmaster
might say to his pupils: "Away with
your arbarous ignorance; what blunder-
ers you are IN all that relates to foreign
trade; listen to me, and will teach you,
out of tie abundance Of my knowledge,
what to do IN this matter" But where
are there good and sufficient grounds for
concluding that Englishmen are so su.
premely and peculiarly gifted with wis
dom on commercial and industrial sub
jects that their opinions are worthy to he
set IN authority far above the opposing
opinions of distinguished statesmen and
thinkers in all other lands? England
certainly has not been able by her new
trade policy 10 eliminate chronic pauper-
ism from her system of society, nor to
avoid frequent recurrence of financial
revulsion and industrial paralysis, nor to
put an end to runious strikes on the part
of her working men, nor to quell discon-
tent in Ireland, nor 10 escape from the
evils of almost perpetual war. France
and the United States, both tarif.protec-
ted, are to day exceedingly prosperous,
but England is not. The protective pol.
icy is extending and becoming more rig
id, from year to year, throughout the
world, and has been adopted by nearly
all OF England's colonies. Hostile tariffs
meet British exports in the ports of des-
tination almost everywhere. Other na.
lions shake their heads and. courteously
decline the instruction proffered by Brit
ish teachers Of the blessings of open
competition In her obstinacy, vanity,
and folly ON this subject, and IN the RI
diculous altitude she occupies, England
symbolizes the juryman who complained
of the stubbornness of the eleven other
jurymen because they would not agree to
his verdlct.-7Inter.Ocean.

ANOTHER DISASTROUS FIRE!
Emgle & Co. = Mill In Ashes!

Emgle 4 Co. = Mill In Ashes!
Last night, about Is minutes before II
o'clock, the bells sounded an alarm of
"drc." 1t did not take long 10 locate the
scene Of disaster after once in the street,
as the red flames bursting from the roof
of the tall Touring mill of Engle s. Co.,
on the east side Of the river near Water
street bridge, told their own story.
W. w. and F. A. Engle were both in
the mill until 10 O'Clock, when they shut
down the gates and went home. The fire
caught in the loft of the building, aud no
one connected with the mill can give the
least idea OF the cause.
The mill was brick and wooden
building, three and half stories; on the
east was long frame warehouse. The
citizens were powerless to arrest the work
of destruction, and nothing was saved ex-
cept the safe, Office furniture, and little
flour and grain in sacks.
The machinery and fixtures of the
mill were quite complete. There were
five run of stone. Messrs. Eugle had ex-
pended $4,000 on the property siuce it
came into their possession, 5000 having
been expended last fall. They put their
loss at from $4,000 to $4,000.
There was an insurance on the mill of
about 5000, which must be some CON-
fort to Messrs. Engle & Co. The actual
net loss in money and time: however,
cannot be much under $4,000.

The suggestion by the TRANSCRIPT to have
States Prison located ut Austin reminds us
of Mark Twain reply to an application for
the establishment Of a post-ofice: "What you

to be some institution at Austin that would
prevent the necessity Of having prisoners
