Too Much of a Talker.

Ls7tEF0IIH -yOWo.I
Unless Hon. Joserh E. Mcdonald
is very great man he will destroy
his chances of getting the Democratic
nomination for the presidency by
talking too much. As rule a man
gets credit for wisdom in proportion
to his silence. Mr.. Mcdonald, how
ever, thinks he can talk with safety.
He proposes to mike speeches in
Iowa and Ohio as soon as the cam
paign fairly opens in those states. He
says that his party is welcome to his
services and his opinions at any and
all times. Mr.. Mcdonald is an honest
man and would not sacrifice his con-
victions of duty and right. to secure
the presidency.

A Merry wedding in Hot Weather

Col. Ed. Chambers was selected by
the good people of Collin county to
represent them in the eighteenth leg
islature. and he came to the capital
for that purpose. He was a single
man when he came and had not a
thought of any thing on his journey
hither save the legislative duties that
rested upon him. He was great
favorite with his cOmpeers in the hall
of the Solons, for he was handsome,
witty and eloquent, but no one Sns-
pected him of being q connoisseur of
womanly beauty. Sometimes friend
would want to find the member from
Collin, and he would be mysteriously
absent from his place, and much Won
der would be expressed as to where
he was spending his evenings, or some
of them. but no one suspected him of
paying his addresses to one of Aus
tins ladies'; but such was the case.
and yesterday he returned to the cap
ital again-this time to lead Mrs. i.
0. Tibault to the hymeneal altar. The
wedding took place at 2:3O p. m. at
the home of the bride, Rev. A. E.
Goodwin officiating. 1t was strictly
a private one. The bride and groom
left on the evening train for the home
of the groom.

sicians.

DR.. IObm:
Dear Sir-You will remember that
some time ago l remarked to you that
l suffered from an uneasy, painful
feeling in my right side, caused by a
congested condition of the liver,
which prevented me from riding on
horseback and engaging in violent
exercise Of any kind. You then told
me that you had suffered from smi-
lar affection of the liver, and had
cured yourself by using certain medi-
cinal herbs which you had discovered
and urged me to try thea1. l did SO
and am now well. These medicinal
herbs in conjunction with salines you
have since presented to the public
under the name OF "Tobin'S Hepato-
zone." In doing so you have con-
ferred a great boon on people living
in a hot, semi-tropical climate like
ours, where diseases of the liver are
so prevalent. 1t is the daily eXpe-
rience of every physician to find peo-
pl, running their constitutions by the
excessive use of st, ong mercu-
rial purgatives. A still larger
number constantly use so-called "liver
regulators" mostly composed of
alOes and other drastic purgatives,
which only tend to produce piles and
other troublesome affections of the
lower bowels. To all such sufferers
your medicine will be an invaluable
aid in restoring them to health again,
and feel assured that it only re-
quires to be known to be appreciated,
and that people will cease destroying
their constitutions by the reckless and
dangerous abuse of mercurials now
in vogue Hepstazone contains no
hurtful drug, and yet it is signally eff
ficient as a liver medicine. / may re-
mark just here that | am not violat-
ing medical ethics in truthfully giving
you my opinion of a medicine which
/ have used myself with benefit, the
formula of which you did not hest
tate to show to me. Above all, it af-
fords me greatlpleasure to know that
you have placed your medicine (com-
posed only of costly drugs within
the reach of the poorest man or wo-
man.

From a prominent physician of

DIR. W. H. TObin, Austin. Texas
After having made numerous trials
of Hepatozone l am induced to recon-
mend it. 1t is without doubt most
valuable remedy. l have been salts
fed with the results obtained where
l have used it. | find that it acts
very promptly in arousing the secre-
lions and relieving engagement of
the most important organs of the
body. When its medical virtues are
more generally known 1 believe it
will be kept in most families.

AS as a result Of the elections the
Ohio senate will stand two to one
democratic and the house sixty-two
democrats to forty-three republicans.
Although the democrats carried the
state by the reduced majority Of
10000, Ohio is undoubtedly republican
on national issues, and would be just
the same even if the German vote had
gone democratic with all the strength
of 1882. The prohibition movement
was the disturbing force, but the most
significant fact was the slight influence
of any rational question. So far as
concerns the effect of the election il
lis very slight. We may be sure that
Mr.. Hoadly's boom for the presidency
will not be again heard Of.

into the water and was drowned. The
mob accused the watchman of throw
ing him overheard. Unable to wreak
vengeance on the officers of the vessel,
they marched in a body to the town
and set fire to the residences of several
prominent foreigners. The consuls,
fearing the attack would become gem
eral, hauled down their flags and sent
a boat to Hong Kong for assistance,
the foreigners seeking shelter aboard!
vessels in the port. A company Of
Chinese military we're ordered out but
remained impassive spectators Of the,
depredations being committed. After
destroying buildings the mob get flre
to the steamer Launch. They then
set fire to the wharf, and afterwards
proceeded to burn the French cathe-
dral, but the French residents, who
were gathered in body, informed the
mob that if they carried out their IN
tentions French maiizef-war would
anchor off the town and open fire.
Telegrams were sent the viceroy, who
ordered 5000 troops to quell the dis
turbance. When the mob we're IN

The reasons why the people Of
southern Dakc.a demand division are
/. South Dakota consists Of small IN
dependent farms, each farmer culti-
waiting his own land. The inhabited
part of north Dakota consists one~half
of Northern Pacific untaxed railrosd
lands, and the other half of bonanza
farms, owned and worked by men
living outside the territory. Tenant
farming, which is unknown here, has
been introduced there. 2. In small
states the will Of the people is more
quickly obeyed. 1t is the great states
that suffer from rings, big steals and
corrupt jobs. 3. The salaries of the
officers form very small part of the
expenses of state government. 1t is
the money they vote away that counts.
