LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
Public sentiment has been thorough.
1y aroused at last, in favor of the
movement toward the erecting of Bar
tholdi's statue, Liberty Enlightening
the World" in the harbor of New
York. Americans now understand
that those among them who subscribe
to the completion of this grand work
will perform an act of patriotism, and
at the same time one of international
comfy worthy of the enlightened
ideas permeatlng this nineteenth CEN
fury.
Some idea of the extent of the pub
lie sentiment is shown by the fact that
the New York World has been able 10
report subscriptions of over $50, 900 in a
months time in sums averaging less
than 81 each, the great bulk of these
contributions being in dimes and
quarters.
What a magnificent object it will be,
towering almost into the clouds from
New YOrk's beautiful harbor. It will
stand as a grand symbol of liberty be-
fore the eyes of everyone coming from
the oppressed countries across the
ocean. At the gateway of no other
nation could it stand with so much ap-
propriateness. Here it symbolizes the
fullest achievement of human freedom
and will forever stand to tel, that
story.
The committee in charge of the erec-
ton of the pedestal for the reception of
this great work have prepared beau
tiful statuette as a souvenir to send to
each person who subscribes 81. Ought
not the heart of every American to re-
spond with pride when he has the op-
portunity of contributing toward the
erection of such monument? 1t is
one of the grandest undertakings of
modern times and eminently fitting
that it should be built from the hearts
and pockets of our people.
The committee does not believe the
American people are Indifferent to
this great work, therefore call upon
them for their aid. Every person
wishing to become subscriber should
send their add ress to Richard Butler,
Secretary American Committee of the
Statute Of Liberty, No. 80 Mercer st.
New York, enclosing 81, and will re-
ceive in return a miniature reproduce
ton of this great work. While large
subscriptions are always desirable, it
would be far more to the credit of this
great nation if every man, woman and
child should own block in the pedes-
tai which will support the everlasting
of Liberty Enlightening
the World.

LIFE AND HEALTH TO ME-.

Some seven or eight years ago my
right thigh was covered with a skin
eruption, causing intense itching. In
a short time it extended down the en-
tire leg, which became infiamed and
finally broke out in small sores be-
tween the knee and ankle. Swelling
of the limb ensued, and I could not
walk or put my foot to the ground.
The pain ran me almost distracted. 1

of them brought me temporary relief.
paid out hundreds of dollars but
found no permanent benefit. The
whole poison seemed to concentrate in
an ulcer near my ankle, some three
inches in length, and the remedies
used, being largely mineral, did not
seem to reach the source of the disease
at all. For three years I was unable
to do anything. The ulcer had already
eaten down 10 the bone. Two of the
physicians recommended amputation
of the limb as the only means of pre-
serving life. [ was almost in despair

THE COUNTY SEAT LAW.

AS there seems to be considerable
misapprehension as to the exact pro-
visions of the law relating to the loca-
ton and removal Of county seats, we
copy the statute in full from the laws
of 1888.

ninety-four of the session laws of 1873
be and the same is hereby amended SO
as to read as follows: Sec. 1. In all cases
where the county seat of any county
in this state has been or shall hereafter
be located by vote of the electors OF
such county, or where county build
ings have been erected, donated or

The drop in the price of quinine may
have been caused by the large ship
ments of Collins Ague Cure into the
malarial and chills and fever districts
throughout the south and west, where
formerly it was supposed nothing but
quinine would cure. Judging from
the large shipments daily of this rem
edy from the laboratory of the Collins
Bros. Drug Co., Second and Vine
streets, it looks as if Collins Ague
Cure was taking the place Of all othe-
remedies for chills.-FrOm Missouri

Some Self. Respect Left.

Col. Byrum is one of The most tai
ented criminal lawyers in San Antonio,
having been instrumental in turning
more rascals loose upon society than
any other three members of the bar.
Some years ago he cleared a young
man indicted for the theft of cattle,
and taking fancy to his client, took
him into bis office to study law, and
eventually made him his partner.
Some time afterward, Col. Byrum was
appointed by the court to defend a
pauper criminal, who was accused of
stealing a calf, and who was such a
hard case that he was chained, hand
and foot. Upon calling upon his
client, IN jail The latter said he didn't
want any lawyer

to the penitentiary, and | think l can
