Mr.. Powderly and Socialism.

Joseph A. Labadie, of Detroit, one of
the most prominent Labor men" of the
country, and Knight of Labor of high
standing, had the following in the Labor
Leaf:
"The capitelist newspapers seem to be
very anxious. for some reason or other,
to get tie idea abroad that Mr.. Pow
derly is teetotallY and fanaticalIv op-
posed to Socialism, and is very desirous
of bouncing everybody who is Socialist
callv inclined out of the Knights of
Labor. If this be true, he bas changed
considerably within very few wears,
because | remember that Mr.. PowderlY
paid dues to the National Executive
Committee of the SOcialistic Labor Party
when | was a member of the committee.
He did this because there was no sec
ton ofthe party in Scranton. His card
was as red as the reddest card issued,
and, so far as know, he made no bones
about 1t either. You must not believe
everything about Powderly that you
read in the newspapers"

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from dsordered or inaction
of the liver will never get the upper hand oil
the unruly organ so long as they use sucn
irrational remedies as blue pill, calomel ana
podophyllin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
may expect relief with a certainty ofobtainmg
it, The influence of the Bitters upon the great
hillary gland is direct, powerful and speedily
felt. The relief afforded is not spasmodic, but
complete and permanent. The sallowness OF
the skin, furred appearance of the tongue,
indigestion, costiveness, headache, nausea
pains through the right side and shoulder, IN
fact every accompaniment of the obstinate COM
plaint are entirely and promptly removed by q
course of this inestimable medicine, in behalf
of which testimony is constantly emanating
from every quarter, and from all classes oil
society,

AUSTIN, Texas, August 8, 1886.

Editor StOCkman!
In your issue of August 3, you ask
'what is the matter with Colonel jennings
cattle" The experience of my neigh
bors and of myself has been, that when
ever cattle are turned loose on green
sorghum, especially the second growth,
about one-half of them died. Plenty of
grease poured down them is the only
remedy 1 know of, and it is infallible.
By turning cattle on green sorghum and
letting them eat very little at a time,
they soon get used to it, and it will not
hurt them. A great many more cattle die
from want of sorghum than from eating
too much of it. Yours respectfully
MAURICE b. MOORE.

THE MARKETS.
FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL

AUSTIN, August 24.-The opening of the cotton
season has set the wheels of commerce in motion
again. or rather fastened them out of the sluggish
ness of the summer dizziness. The recent reports
concerning the cotton crop, while somewhat in the
nature of throwing cold water on the prospects OF
a big fall trade, have not produced depression, but
only healthy and salutary quietude Even with
the crop, which is estimated at one-haf for the re
gion tributary to Austin, we may reasonably eN
pect an ordinary trade from now on, and there Is
no reason whatever for despair,
Since our last weekly report there have been
few notable changes in any of the leading articles
There have been some in country produce, which
will be found in the proper column.

MRS. FANNIE CROOKER
DROWNED AT INDIANOLA, AND
HER DEATH CASTS A GLOOM
OVER THE CITY.

Saturday morning a special to The
STATESMAN from Victoria gave deplora-
BILE account of the destruction wrought by
the storm king at IndianOla, and men
toned the finding of dead body, the
sister-in law of Mr.. Hodges, of Cuero, To
the citizens of Austin this meant great
deal. 1t conveyed to them the sad intel
ligence of the death of enc of Austin's
most accomplished ladies. The shock was
great, and the news
CAST GLOOM
over the entire city. People were 10th
to believe the report, and heroically
hoped against hope that it
might prove false. The matter
was set at rest however, early in the morn
ing by Captain l.. M. Crooker, receiving
the following dispatch
CUERo, Aug. 81, 1886.
L. NJ Croker, Austin;
Mrs. Crooker drowned in storm at In
dianola; body found. Mrs. Hodges and
children missing. j. Nj. REUs,
When the contents of this telegram be-
came known, hope vanished and anguish
brooded over scores of hearts. Mrs. Fan
ME Crooker was the eldest daughter of
Colonel j. and Mrs. Elizabeth Lamour,
and had been a resident of Austin about
fifteen years. She had a wide circle of
acquaintance, and was
GREATLY BELOVED
by all with whom she associated.
Possessed to remarkable degree,
of all those attainments and attributes
which adorn ths lives of noble women,
she was among the best known and best
loved in this city. Faith, hope and char.
ity were the browning ornaments of heI
daily life, and beneath the blessed heav
ems and amid the beautiful ealth she went
forth in harmony with their teachings anc
in fulfllment of their high mission. He
faith was the star to which the needle
pointed, guiding scores of young people
through the mutations of years to trueI
and higher life. Her hope sent SUNSHINE
and Joy into many hearts to brighten
and gladden. their secret and dark recess
Her charity permeated everywhere, anc
with heart and hand, in season and out Of
season, she responded to the calls of the
sick and needy. A noble, generous, true
woman, she will be missed, not only in hel
home and in her church, but by our peo
pie everywhere. To her grief stricken
husband and only child, to her aged ant
honored father and mother, The STATES
MAN this morning tenders its profoundes
sympathy.

DEAR SIR:-We hand you herewith cir
cular setting forth the deplorable condi-
ton of our county and the causes thereof,
as adopted in mass meeting by our citizens
on the 18th instant. We would most re-
spectfully request that you give it AS
much publicity as possible, and do all In
your power to organize relief committees
in your county to solicit donations of
grain for seed and bread. We ask this,
not as gift, but simply as a loan until
we can harvest another crop, in order to
enable our farmers to remain at home and
earn sustenance for those who are de-
pendent upon them,and we would urgently
request that the names of donators and
10 ,uft N,Nli
to our distributing committees, who are
instructed to keep record of same, that
value received may be returned as soon as
we are in position to do so. For the
sake of convenience and economy we have
appointed two committees to receive and
distribute-one at Putnam for the east,
and one at Clyde for the west half of our
county. The Farmers Alliance of this
county have pledged themselves to secure
fair, just and equitable di'tri-
button, with the least possible delay
and cost to our county, through
the means of their sub-alliances. Each
subordinate alliance has appointed an
auxiliary committee to cooperate with
the distributing committee, to furnish
tabulated list of each family in the re-
spective precincts, with number of mem
bers, and acres in cultivation, without re-
gard to membership of the alliance; which
guarantees the protection of those who
are most in need The T. q p. r.. r. Co
have agreed to ship, free of charge, all
grain sent to us, and we are now cores
ponding with other companies to secure
same terms. In the meantime, you can
ascertain what you can do, and if you will
notify us, you will be advised as to which
point to ship, and by which route. Trust
ing that we are not asking too much, and
that we will hear from you soon, we re-
