THE Pioneer Press of last Thursday
has An excellent editorial on the use Of
ice water. It calls ice water our national
beverage, and rightly too; for it is used
almost universally in this country. The
Pioneer Press raises a cry of warning
which all will do well to heed. The use
of ice water, especially at meals, can not
be otherwise than injurious and often is
the cause of death. The merest tyro in
physiology knows that water $50 poured
into stomach 800 Or 1909 steps diges
ton, chills the organ, and weakens the
whole system. We can only repeat the
warning and call for moderation, at least
in the use of this dangerous drink.

AN Iowa clergyman ascrlbed the small
number Of his congregation to the fact
that people are tired of hearing the word
Of God preached. He announced that he
would discourse on the words of the
devil. What his line Of thought is, and
how large his audience is, we do no,
know; but we do know that many say.
ings declared to be of satanic origin will
furnish thought for many people. The
DEVILS sayings are intensely practical
having nothing Of the aesthetic or higher
lite in them; and they do not require
their believers to wait for an unknown
eternity to enjoy their fruits. The wick
edness of the world Is IN itself q most
powerful sermon, and one which ought
to be more carefully needed.

Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes of 80 many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting well, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying q good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS

become one of the staple articles of the jew
elry trade, possessing as it does so many
advantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only stiffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, ana cenler,
solid joints, crown pieces, &C.. all OF whlch
are covered by letters patent. therefore buy

Law and Order.

Since the assassination we have heard
on every hand the loudest and deepest
Impressions against Guiteau. Even the
papers, the great metropolitan organs are
filled with the descriptions Of the torture
and punishments to which Guiteau should
be subjected. "Burn him." "strangle
him" shooting is toe good" chang him
without trial." and many such express
sions are hourly heard, and daily seen IN
print. To be sure Guiteau is a criminal
ofthe darkest hue he attempted to accom-
plish the death OF our President; he i'm
brued his hands unlawfully in human
blood, and is in fact a traitor. But oil this
Is no reason why we should depart from
the law of the land. His crime does not
justify US in wishing him fate that is
unlawful and actually barbarous. His
depravity should not cause US to think and
act like Indians upon our frontiers
There are laws and courts for the punish.
ment Of such men. If the laws are made
quate. or the courts too lax, apply TO them
the proper remedy; but while they exist,
let the courts try the criminal and he be
dealt with in legal manner.
We are aware that many who would
like to see Guiteau hung without trial or
chopped into pieces with an Ak, speak in
the heat of excitement and would be
among the last to carry out their barbar-
GUS wishes. 1t is the language, the ex-
preston Of such sentiments that is harm
fal. First of all no such thoughts should
be harbored. It should be remembered
that every man, however bad he may be,
has rights. These he can not forfeit, at
least one OF them, and that is the right
to be punished according to law. 1t is
our safeguard. Secondly, such thoughts
should not be uttered. 1t is the duty Of
every person to maintain the majesty Of
the law and the authority of the courts in
every way. The talking of unlawful
things always leads to them for there are
people weak enough to believe that 1t is
the real desire Of those who speak thus.
Who can say that the expression of deadly
luminosity is not the real cause of the as
sassination of our President? or Of Judge
Page of this city? Is it not reasonable to
suppose that people who are constantly
talking about unlawful things will wink
| at crimeP There is no more of this in Aus.
tin than in other towns Of the U 8.
There is too much in every place. Let
there be strong and manly determination
to have the law executed, to amend it, il
defective. Do not suffer yourselves to
stand on anything but law and order.
Let Guiteau be handled by the proper
authority in the lawful way. and do no,
talk what you would deprecate, if 1t were
put into execution.
