Birthday Celebration.

The twenty-first anniversary of the
birth of Mr.. Louis E. Juhring was
celebrated on Saturday evening last
by his friends in manner we'll calcu-
lated to bring pleasing remembrances
to him in after years, and the celebra-
ton was the source of much enjoy
ment to his assembled friends. Com
ing to Austin and settling here, Mr..
Juhring has made many friends by
his sociable, kindly nature and strict
business integrity, and the friends
who called on him Saturday evening
amply testifies to the regard wherein
he is held. Assembling about o'clock
the guests, after enjoying the good
cheer and substantials provided, did
not disperse until late hour. Good
wishes were expressed on all sides,
speeches were made and two literary
productions commemorative of the
event were read. Among those pres
ent were Messrs. Isaac s. Colyer, A. s.
Tooke, Waters Davis, John w. Will
son, Theodore Hillyer, Elliott Dooley,
Emil Albright, Dudley Smyth, Samuel
Walker, Peter Gaebel, Robert S. Hunt,

A Pleasant Wedding.

Sunday night Harry Baum, the well
known livery and sale stable man on
Pecan street, was united in marriage
to Miss Minnie, the accomplished
daughter of julius Quasi, the we'll
known Pecan street merchant. The
wedding occurred at the brides home,
and only about twenty intimate
friends and relatives of the contract
ing parties were present. Justice Won
Rosenberg performed the ceremony,
after which a well provided repast
was served. AS a STATESMAN repre-
sentative witnesses the ceremony, he
could but remember, while looking
upon the manly form and noble codn-
tenance of Harry, with his gentle and
amiable Minnie by his side, the beau
tiful lines of the poet when he sung
The world was sad-the garden was wild,
And man, the hermit, sighed--tIll woman
smiled.
And then came to mind:
There's a bliss beyond all that the minstrel
When two. that arc linked in one heavenly

Whole ages of heartless and wondering bliss:

THE STATESMAN extends hearty
congratulations and wishes the happy
couple life of the highest connubial
pleasure. Harry is an exemplary bus
mess man and his wife is well worthy
of him.

A Curious Horse Thief.

Yesterday morning, VIM. Lubbock,
son Of the fish commissioner, came to
this city in state of great excite
ment saying that his valuable sorrel
horse had been stolen and that negro
by the name of Silas Biles had seen
the thief riding the animal on the
Middle Forks road. The negro re-
ported the thief as without hat
or coat, and said he was making
out of the country as fast as pos
sible. Mr.. Lubbock gathered a
posse of men and started in
hot pursuit. There was considerable
excitement created by the boldness of
the action on the part of the thief, for
Mr.. Lubbock had hitched his horse in
an enclosure while he went short
distance from him, and before he could
return the animal had been stolen,
and this, too, in broad daylight and
withis sight of the city. Such con-
dition OF affairs was thought to be
truly frightful, and it is not to be
wondered that men were excited.
Now as to the thief. Yesterday
morning, while the door of the insane
asylum was ajar, from haying taken
some of the patients through it, an
inmate by the name of 7. L. Ham
mond, sent to the asylum from Gregg
county made his escape unobserved
by the guards, and found his way
from the grounds to the road unob-
served. He wandered along in his
shirt sleeves and hatless until he
came where Mr.. Lubbock's
horse was tied. He at once united
the horse and rode off in a gallop with
the insane idea of going to his home
in Gregg county. AS the mad man
was passing through the city parties
noticed him and telephone message
was sent Immediately to the asylum,
and Mr.. Anglin, one of the supervi-
sons, started in pursuit of the fugitive.
He followed his trail until he discov-
cred the fact that he had by
some means procured a
horse and was riding to liberty, as he
thought, upon it. Mr. Anglin then
took a horse and followed him. He
had better luck than the men who
3 o'clock he overlook him in the
rough country not far from this city,
the man having ridden in circle.
When Mr.. Anglin came up to him he
asked him what he was doing, and he

then inquired of Mr.. Anglin the way
to Gregg county. The supervisor
brought the man and horse back to
the city with him, and put the mad
man into his cell and the horse in a
stable until he could And its owner.
Late last night the men who had
been hunting the stolen horse came
home to learn that it was only the
freak of an escaped lunatic. No
lynching will take place.

Three Girls on a Lark Visit Austin.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says
The fatted calf was killed in the Gun
ningham household last evening, on
the return of the daughter of the
house, Miss Mary, who, it will be re-
membered, in company with Miss
Matthews, ran away from home on
the Goth of last September, taking
with them some $500 belonging to the
family. Nothing was heard of the
two runaways up to about a week ago,
when the father, Mr.. John L. Gun
ningham, received letter written
from Austin signed by his daughter
Mary asking for sufficient funds to
enable her to return home. They
had seen enough of the world, their
money was gone, and, as one of them
said, they wanted 80 bad" to get back
home.
Overjoyed at the receipt of the letter
her father Immediately sent the nee
essary funds and last evening, as
above stated, the two young wander
ers put in an appearance. Strange to
say, however, they were accompanied
by another young lady hailing from
this city who left with them, but
whose disappearance was not noted.
This young lady's Christian name is
Bridget, but nothing else can be OBJ
tanned from her. 1t is learned, how
ever that she was engaged to be mar
ried to a young street car conductor
on the yellow cars of the Union Depot
line; that she had in keeping SO of
his money which. after a few addi-
tions, was to assist in setting them up
in housekeeping. But the girl, it
seems, took his savings and arranged
for flight with the others.

Wells, Body Found.

The body of Rube Wells was found
yesterday. and in this most singular
manner: l.. b. Henry was duck hunt
ing. He shot a duck, which fell into
the river. His old dog was not there
at the time, and he tried to get his
young dog to bring it out. This dog
would not do it, and the duck hoated
down fully 100 yards before the old
dog came. The old dog brought out
the duck, and Mr.. Henry sat down at
that point to wait for other fowls to
fly by. While he was sitting there
the young dog discovered something
buried in the sand, and began to dig;
as he dug, Mr.. Henry noticed a pecu-
liar smell; and, going to the place
where the dog was, found the hand of
a man which had been uncovered by
the dog. The body was completely
buried, and if it had not been for the
fact that the young dog would not
work, thus letting the duck
float down the stream, the
dog would not have discovered
it and it might have lain for years
buried in theisand. The place where
found is almost three miles below the
city and IL mile from where Wells
jumped into the river. The body was
completely buried in the sand, and so
deeply that the water came through
the sand from the river SO that it
stood over the body when the sand
was removed. 1t was twenty yards
from the outer limits of the high
water mark at the time when Wells
was drowned to the body, but the dry
bar now extends 100 yards inWards
from the spot where the body was
buried Justice Won Rosenberg sum-
moned q jury and held an inquest
and verdict was returned as follows:
We the jury Of inquest find that the
body found this morning is that of
Mr.. Rube Wells; and further find that
he came to his death in Travis county.

feeling in my right side, caused by
congested condition of the liver,
which prevented ma from riding on

cinal herbs which you had discovered
and urged me to try them. / did SO

herbs in conjunction with salineS you
have since presented to the public

zone" In doing SO YOU have con-
ferrcd great loon on people living
in Il hot, Semi-tropical climate like
ours, where diseases OF the liver are
SO prevalent. Is is the daily eXpe-
rience of every physician to find peo-
pie running their constitutions by the

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

We tried several medicines, none of
which seemed to do her any good, but
she continued to get worse, and final
ly raised large amounts of blood from
her lungs. We called on a family
but he failed to do her any
good. At this time a friend who had

Many wonder why the brute crea-
ton excel mankind as rule when it
comes to question Of health. Inyes-
LEGATION quickly ascertains the cause.
1t is because the brute naturally
obeys every law of health, while man
kind is constantly degenerating owing
to excuses of our ancestors and our
own individual imprudence. Sudden
exposure to extreme climatic influ-
ences, gluttony, improper food. alco-
holic stimulants, over-eXertion Of
mind and body, worriment, anxiety,
care, etc., all have a marked effect on
the human system. Be cured by
using Browns Iron Bitters. A re-
mafkable remedy for restoring health.
