son Is, Stout's creek, like Iron county, Is al
fixture, and in all probability will rems
where it is, for the next thousand years, u
less it should wash Speck away and makt
new channel. Now the action of the coun
court was predicated upon their opinions l
they advertised and let it out to the lowe
bidder, and it was bid OF by the st. Lou
Bridge and Iron Company, at which tin
five or six of the most important bridge cor
panies in the West were present and bid .
it. And suppose another reason with u
court was, the county had means enough
on hands, at reasonable figure, to build
bridge-by directing or using part in tn
way. And suppose the court thought
another thing, that at no time in the bistol
of our country could an improvement of tn
kind be made cheaper than now.
Irecollect it was said by some person I
the Herald, at the time, that bridge the
would be of no use except to few person
in the east. How that man came to TIL
conclusion cannot see; he certainly do,
not understand the geography of our count
or country. Draw a line east and west,
the crossing of Stout's creek, and nearly ha
the citizens of Iron county are living sout
of il, and that line would pretty well divid
this continent.
And in the Herald another said that thel
were several other places in Iron count
more important for bridge than the cross
ing of Stout's creek. Now, am ut loss I
know how that man reasoned to come to ths
conclusion. 1t is well known fact this
there are fifty crossings of Stout's creek {
one of any other ford in Iron county, excep
Knob creek, which is much the smaller 4
the two creeks. And believe, submit tn
the question to the people, where the frs
bridge should be built three-fourths woul
say Stout's creek.
Again, it was said in the Herald that If th
building of bridge was left to the peopl
they would largely vote it down.
Now, Mr.. Editor, think it is very likel

Habitual constipation is not only one Of the
most unpleasant, but at the same time one OF
the most injurious conditions Of the human
system, and is but forerunner of disease,
unless removed. This is usually accomplish
ed by the use of purgatives, which for the
time affords relief, but after their immediate
effects have passed they leave the system in
worse state than before. To effect cure
it is necessary that the remedy used should
be one thatnot only by its cathartic effect
relieves the Bowels, but at the same time
acts as tonic, SO as to restore the organs TO
q sound, healthy condition. This PRIcKLY
ASH BITTERs will do. 1t removes the cause
and restores health.

the Trail.

GALVESTON. July "A dispatch from
Austin to the Nelcs says: The Hon. j.
ID. Sayres was in conference to-day with
John T. Lyle, president of the South
western Live Stock association, in regard
to the reported interruption to the pas
sage Of Texas cattle to Colorado over the
trail agreed upon at the Dallas convention,
Mr.. Sayres telegraphed to the secretary of
the interior as follows:
1t is reported hal Texas cattle are be-
ing prevented by the intel States u
thorities from passing through the Chcro-
kee strip, a distance OF about forty miles,
to reach Colorado, If true, immediate
loss will result, parties having driven from
Texas about $4,000 head of cattle. upon
the faithth hat they will be permitted to pass
through. Immediate action should be
token to keep the route open, or great
injustice will be done, resulting in heavy
loss to Texas cattlemen, without any bene-
fit to any one except for speculative pur-
poses. Have written you fully"
George Sayres saw Governor Ireland,
and at his instance the governor sent Sec
rotary Lamar the following dispatch:
There arc now on the border about
$1,000 cattle, on their way to the northern
markets, from Texas, and federal officers,
said to be United States marshals, have
notified the owners that they cannot pass
along the agreed trail across the south
west corner of the Cherokee nation. 1t is
not credible that this is done at the in
stance of the interior department. l
shall not believe tuntil | know that it is
so. With other obstacles thrown in the
way OF Texas by Kansas and
Nebraska, this, added for the purpose of
getting the cattle at nominal figures, will
prove disastrous in the extreme, and J
earnestly request that YOU 1--WE such
orders at your earliest convenience as it
will allow these men to get TO market
Mr.. Lyle left to-day for the trail The
cattle on the trail are from south and
southwestern Texas. No answers have
yet been received TO the telegram to Sec
rotary Lamar.
