War, Dug up.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Some three
weeks ago, nine mysterious collins,
of rude pattern, were accidently un-
earthed near the corner of Vernon
and Thirty-fourth streets, as work
men were excavating for a new
building. 1t has just been dis
covered that these collins contained
there mains ofSouthern Confederate
soldiers, who died of contagious
disease, while prisoners at
Camp Douglass during the war.
These bones were being harshly
disturbed by boys in the neighbor-
hood when a citizen of that section
had them all collected and decently
inferred in his private burying
ground. The Sons of Virginia will
take measures to secure their re-
moval to some fitting spot, which

DOWN TOWN MEKCgANT


Having passed several sIeepless nights,
disturbed by the agOnies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured q supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to 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
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 ut 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 preiudices of
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %

We have had five children, three of whom

THE COURTS.
United states Circuit Court.


In this court yesterday a demurrer
was argued in the case of the first ma
tional bank of Austin against McCulloch
county; Hancock & West for the bank,
and Makemson & Fisher, of Georgetown,
and John w. Robertson, Esq, ofAustin,
on the other side. The case had its orr
gin in the fact that McCulloch county
issued bonds for the erection of a court
house. The bank took these bonds, and
now the county, for some reason, fails 10
pay them. Judgment in the case was
reserved. Judge Pardee also reserved
his Judgment in the case of E. Greune
VS.. Carl Mouse ct al, upon motion made
and argued yesterday TO remand the
cause back to Comal county. Hancock
IL West on one side and Walton & Hill
on the other.
In the United States court yesterday,
Bud Higgins, one of the Lampasas stage
robbers, through his counsel, Mr. Hew-

the punishment for the offense is con-
tinement in the penitentiary for not less
than five nor more than ten years.
The case of the United States against
Robert Manning, accessory after the
fact, in the Lampasas stage robbery, was
nolle prosecuted. Manning furnished
the evidence that convicted Grigsby and
caused Higgins to take water.

verdict for $1,000. Phillip was in the
employ of the company some time dur
ing last summer, as brakeman, and in
coupling the switch engine to a
car by some means got his hand
caught and mashed. 1t was shown
in evidence that upon this par
ticular occasion link was used in coup
ling instead of the customary bar, and
upon this the case seemed to hinge, as
well as the fact that the hand was perma-
pently disabled. Judge Goldthwaite, of

Fine Forms For Figures.

The following advertisement appeared

keeper. ''My business is all form.
Look about you and you viii see at
least forty women of all sorts, sizes and
shapes engaged at present in the frantic
endeayor to attract my. attention, so
that l may engage their services. These
women we use for many things, to fix
dresses on and pin cloaks to, and to lam
hats over, and, in, fact, everything ex-
cept to talk or reason with Oh, they
all find it necessary to bring their finest
forms to us, but after the day business
is over we are not interested in what they
do with them. Whether they lay them
carefully by in their bureaus, or squeeze
the wind out OF them or read them is
none of our business. The women
come from all parts of the city, and as
soon as they present themselves to us
we send them upstairs to our fore

will confidently say is due in great
measure to the beauty of the figure

What it Means.

A whole series of lessons in the art
and practice Of prohibition is done up
in the recent defeat of Gov. St. John in
Kansas. One of the abest advocates of
the prohibition cause he was carried
into the gubernatorial chair of Kansas
two years ago, by majority of 10000.
This year he is beaten by from 10, 900 to
5000 for the same Office. During this
time prohibition has been in practical
operation throughout the state. st.
John, one of the ablest leaders in the
movement, has honestly and fearessly
enforced the laws passed to secure the
fruits of the prohibition victory. For
nearly two years the people have had
chance to compare the advantages and
disadvantages of prohibition. The re-
suit is Gov. St. John is retired by change
Of nearly 10000 votes on the first OPP
portunity tic people have of expressing
their opinion. The lesson is significant
and opportune. If it teaches anything
il teaches the folly Of attempting to
make n political question out of prohi-
bition at this stage Of our history.
