How tho Austin People Feel Over 1t.

The Austin Statesman comm ents as fol-
lows upon the assertions of the Express in re-
gard to the sentiment of the people of that
City over the killing of Harris by Thompson ::
The Express asserts that there is great in
dignation in Austin against the arrest and i'm
prisonment of Mr.. Ben Thompson at San
Antonio The statesman is strongly under
the belief that the Express managers do not
believe what they give currency to In this
respect. The people of Austin take no stock
in the affair, and they simply desire that JUS
tee, whatever it may be, shall attend the con-
clusion. Because Mr.. Thompson is the mar
shall of Austin is no reason why its people
should express feelings as to the course pur-
sued with him. He committed a terrible
deed in killing Harris, and only when it
is shown before proper tribunal that he was
justifable in doing so will they believe Mr..
Thompson should be at liberty. The courts
Of San Antonio are as capable of enquiring
into the killing of Mr.. Harris as any others in
the state, and whatever be the conclusions O
courts and officers there will meet with APP
proval here The Express wants to make
somebody believe that the people Of Austin
are the abettors of lawless sentiments, and on
this most probably it is itself engaged in some
thing Iawless-the manufacture of sentimen,
that may change the place of trial, If such a
course become necessary. The Express
charges these people falsely, and doing SO il
leaves us the right to draw the inference that
il is not even true to its own expressions.

The Bad and Wort HESS

Are never initiated or couateCeited.
This is especially true of family
medicine, and it is positive proof
that the remedy initiated is OF the
highest value. AS soon rs it had
been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Bitters was the pur-
est, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and peo-
pie of the country had expressed the
merits of III. B., and in every way
trying TO induce suffering invalids
TO use their stuff instead, expecting
to make money on the credit and
good name of ii. b. Many Others
started nostrums put up in the style
of II. B., with variously devised
names in which the word Hop" or
Hops" were used in Il way toin-
duce people to believe they were the
same as Hon Bitters. All such pre-
tended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style or name is, and es-
pecially those with the word Hop"
or Hops" in their name or in any
way connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterteits.
Beware of them. Touch none OF
them. Use nothing but genuine
Hon Bitters, with bunch or cluster
of green Hops on the white label.
Trust nothing else. Druggists and
dealers are warned against dealing
in limitations or counterIelts.

Tornadoes and Floods.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Butler county,
Nebraska, was devastated by u tor
nado on Sunday, and number OF
people were killed, much stock was

the fields were completely inundated

Terrible Tragedy in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, June 2S.-Henry
Cole is native of this city, an attor-

United States deputy marshal under
General Hickenlooper. Two years
ago he had an appointment under
the Census office to collect statistics
of manufactures of Cincinnati, and
has been engaged in that until re-
Gently. A few years ago, while llv-
ing in BROOKLYN, \. Y. he lost his IA
vorile daughter by Il coasting accl-
dent. aud since then has been OBJ
served To be moody and disturbed
in mind. This morning about4 O'Clock
neighboring drayman thought
he heard a shot and scream in the
direction of Coles house, but paid
no attention to it. About 10'clock
the people occupying part OF the
house with the Cole family noticed
their apartments all shut up, and
went down town to his brother 8 to
inquire whether they had gone away.
The brother went up and finding
the house locked, got a policeman
and broke in. The bodies OF MIR.
Cole and his wife were in the same
bed, the latter having a bullet in
the left temple. Mr.. Cole had shot
himself over the right eye, and the
revolver was still in his hand. His
daughter Nellie's body was lying
on the lounge In the adjoining room
with bullet hole in the back of the
head. She was the only child liv-
ing. and had graduated from the
Woodward High School only last
Friday. Friends say they know of
no family trouble to cause the trag-
edy, but Mr.. Cole has been observed
to talk wildly for the past two
or three months, and some now re-
call that he said when his family
died they would all die together.
The weapon used by the suicide
Cole is the same that Stokes used to
kill James Fisk, and was presented
to Cole while he lived in New York. I
