We have not heretofore taken pains to know
what is being done at the College Clinics this
term. But our reporter brings US information Of
the performances in the last week, and we find
that some important operations have been per
formed in surgery. Various persons at distances
of 90 and 80 miles off have come TO be operated
upon, and this year is likely to be even more no
table than last for surgery in the College Gin
les.
We are requested to state that it is only the
operations before the students that are done free
of charge. There is one OF the surgeons and a
physician that will give after attention, when
this is needed, but not free of charge.
1t has become necessary to change the time
of the Surgical Clinics from Fridays to Satur-
days, iu order TO have more time for attention
to the large numbers that call for treatment.
On Saturdays the Clinics are opened in forenoon
as well as in afternoon
Professor Chancellor, formerly of the Univer
sity of Virginia, is the surgeon in attendance on
Saturday clinics, and ali surgical cases are de-
sired to come on that day; Wednesday afternoon
is the time for the Medical Clinics.

This, However, is not all that DR.,
Gregg has done. He has shown that
the So-called bacteria are not animals.
but simply PARTICLES OF tibrine. After
the labori, us and apparently successful
experiments which PaSteur and others
have maize in breeding and cultivating
bacteria, il is indeed unkind to dem
onstrate that bacteria are not alive
end are simply inert particles of mat
ter. The admirers of bacteria find
now that they have been as grossly
deceived as are the Long Island
hounds who pursue the alleged fox,
only to find that it is harmless anise
seed bag.
We shall now have to throw away
all theories founded on the idea that
bacteria are alive, and to frame new
theories of the origin of disease. This
will shake our faith in medical men,
and, to certain extent, in all theo-
ries. DR.. Gregg may think he has
acted like wise and good man, but it
is impossible to regard him as other
than meddlesome and unnecessary
iconoclast.-N. Y. Times.

They Will Live to See 1t.


No one who has followed closely
the course of events at the capital
this winter will dare dispute the
truth Of these assertions. The lobby
has Played battledore and shuttlecock
with both houses and with the COVER
nor also, and with an adroItneSs mar
Vicious indeed. The consequence Is
that our legislature will adjourn and
go home when the thirty days are eX-
pired, leaving the fence troubles IN a
far worse condition than it found
them in, and the state chagrined and
mortified that with all its boosted in
telligence and power it is still I'M
equal to the task of dealing with the
peculiar form of lawlessness now in
fashion. The confidence which the
law-abiding will lose, and which the
lawless will find, in the failure of the
special session, will constitute such
an evil as but few now appreciate.
We have been struggling with a
monster of hideous mien. We have
made only such an effort as school
boys or triflerS would have made. We
have not been earnest, we have played
with a most dangerous pet and, when
1t IS full grown it will turn and rend
us. Men who were present at the
legislature only to obstruct all efforts
to find remedy for the fence cutting
evils, and the journals which so de-
youtly supported them will bitterly
regret and bemoan their evil energies
and their awful success. Theirs is a
success which it had been far better
Tor them had they never won.

SAN MARCOS.
Especial to the Statesman


SAN MARCOS, Feb. 1--WE have a STANCE
story told us and it comes from good author
ity. At the same time there is some mystery
connected with it. Some two years ago an old
gentleman, Mr.. Gage, came to this neighbor-
hood looking for gold (who is one of the first
settlers of this county, however, he LETT here
many years ago., also an old Spanish or Mex
can deposit of money. Some time last fall he
left. gave it up Tor the present and went to his
home in COrsicana. Before leaving he took
Mr.. Jim Watson into his confidence. After
Mr.. Gage left, hr. Jim Watson finds three live
oak trees marked, also a stump with pin of
brass stuck in it. This was pointer for him.
He also found a rock which was more con-
spicuOus than others, this he turned over and
dug down a little ways but soon abandoned it,
Last Saturday week ago, a stranger passing
through the country, stopped and stayed an
of his discovery. The stranger concluded to
take up the search and hired Watson to help
him. They worked Sunday. and part of Mon
day, when Watson told him he could work no
longer, as his services were needed on his
farm. The stranger then went to a cousin of
Watson's, a boy about "a years old, and hired
stranger called on Watson to take supper with
him. He gave Watson a round rock ball, three
inches IN diameter, and told him it came out of
the place they were working at, but said moth
ing about the boy he had hired. After supper
the stranger left, and since then neither he or
the boy has been seen or heard OF. The
absence and went in search Of him. Jim Wat
son and several others went to the place where
he and the stranger had been digging. There
they found that the hole had been dug deeper,
and along side of it an iron vessel, which had
evidently been taken out of the hole. Now,
whether any money was found or not, Is not
known. This happened nearly two weeks ago
and the boy has not Eeen found or heard from.
The place is ten miles west of San Marcos.
