An Abduction.

Monday evening about 2 O'Clock
young man from the country applied to
the county clerk for a marriage license.
He could not answer the proper ques-
tons as to the lady's age, consent of
parents and other questions pertaining to
such matters, and the license was refused.
He asked if it was possible to procure
them in any other county and re-
ceiying a negative reply left the
office and has not been seen since. Yes
terday an old gentleman was in the city on
the lookout for his eleven-year-old daugh-
ter. whom, he said, had been abducted
from his home by one VIM. p. Rouder,
aged about twenty-slx years. He notified
the police, aud repaired to the county
clerks office TO ascertain II he had made
an attempt to procure marriage IL
cense. He discovered that Rouder was
the man who had been refused license
the day before, and he Immediately set
out TO ascertain the whereabouts of his
little daughter and her abductor. He
learned that they had left for San Marcos
Monday night. He then went before
Justice Gregg and made complaint against
Rouder for abduction, but under the
magnificent system of criminal law in
vogue in this blessed state, he might
just as well have sworn out the
complaint against the king of the Zulus.
In case of an abduction the law makes no
provision for paying an officer for max
ing an arrest, and no oficerin this city
felt able or inclined 10 60 TO San Marcos
TO arrest Rouder. The warrant was sent |
down there last night by mail, and ii the
San Marcos officers see proper to make |
the arrest they will probably do so. |
The penalty for abducting girl under |
twelve years of age, is confinement in the |
penitentiary not less than three ner more
i've years. From all we can learn of this /
ease il Is hoped Rouder will fall into the |
hands of the law and suffer its penalties
A sMooTFC COMPLEXION can be had by
every lady who win use Parker's Ginger
Tonic. For promptly regulating the /
liver and kidneys and purifying the blood
here is nothing like it, aud this is the
reason why it SO quickly removes pimples
ind gives rosy bloom to the cheek. See
notice.

PREIunICE KILLS

eleven years our daughter suffered on
a bed of misery under the care of several
of the best (and some of the worst) ply
siclans, who gave her disease various
names but no relief, and now she is re-
stored to us in good health by as simple a
remedy as Hop Bitters, that we had
phooed at for two years, before using it.
We earnestly hope and pray that no one
else will let their sick suffer as we did,
on account of prejudice against so good
medicine as Hop Bitters."-The

Editor Statesman
DEAR SIR have been in your beauti-
full city one week and am perfectly de-
lighted with your beautiful hills and fine
Institutions for the blind, deaf and dumb
and insane. Mount Bonnell is really
magnificent; such scenery is hardly to
be met with in Europe. L was almost
persuaded to live here altogether, but
have nearly decided to change my mind
since landing here the other evening, af-
ter an absence of three days at San Anto-
MO. L have been in nearly every union
depot in the United States and some for
eign ones, but nothing L ever saw can
compare with the bedlam 1 met with on
my arrival from San Antonio. am at a
loss how TO begin to describe the voices
aye. bass voices-and mt the top of their
bass voices. too, when the train was
backing up to the depot on the evening
came over from San Antonio. As we
were about to descend the car steps
we were assailed with the following:
"Here is your bus for the BEeenswlck, de
only palace hotel in de city," Bright out
dis way for de Eu-rO-peen hotel. every.
thing red hot and coolest rooms in de
city-dOn't listen to dem drummers, dase

HOTEL is de place to go, where eberybody
goes and still remains going" "The Ray
mond House is de house to go to, where
you are sure to meet your commercial
friends and be treated WELL" "Here's
your delivery wagon-carry your balise
boss" Ladies. children and even grown
men got out on the opposite side rather
than face that music. The bass voices were,
as near AS L could see, all of a color, viz
black. My dear sir, it was utterly
impossible to get out on that side
and /, with several other ladies',
were compelled to foot it to our
hotel. The confusion was made entirely
by darkies, who were neutrality-suspicious.

young ones trying to make Il dime by car

chaps were not over nine years old, offer
ing to carry valises that were double the

drivers quite contrary to the rule IN other
cities), were very quiet, soliciting in quiet
tones THAT is whenever they could make
themselves HEARD, but what few pas
sengers there were seemed to think them
birds of feather, and darted forward to
get rid of the DIN and confusion. 1
am told that this was not half as bad as it
is sometimes and of daily occurrence.
Now really. MIR. Editor, this is great
shame to your pretty city, and strangers
remarked the difference between it and
a well regulated depot, and the difference
is great i assu1 e you.

FOOL ONCE MORE.

"For ten years my wife was confined to
her bed with such-a complication of all
ments that no doctor could tell what was
the matter or cure her, and used up a
small fortune in humbug stuff. Six
months ago saw U. s., flag with Hop
Bitters on it, and thought would be a
fool once more. tried il, but my folly
proved to be wisdom. Two bottles cured
her.. She is now as well and strong as
