Without ADEQUATE Cause,

Or with apparently no cause at all. chlls and
fever, thought to be cured, gcrminates and re-
fructihes in the system. This giant among
diseases cannot be laid out with Quinine. The
only way to give It a final and extinguishing
quietus, is TO use persistently the national
antidote To miasma poison, Hostett'sr's Stom-
ach Bitters, which roots il out completely.
The process OF cure is, of course, much easier
IL the Bitters is used as preventive, when the
first chill is felt, but persons who are not
acquainted with the nature of the symptoms
are sometimes In error as 10 their cause and
neglect the simple and pleasant remedy, of all
others best suited to check the progress of this
or sojourners In, malarious localities will,
moreover, act the part of wisdom II they use
the Bitters as a preparative. Rheumatism
constipation, bilousness, indigestion and kid
ney troubles are removed by the Bitters.

Mackey Still Flights.

Alderman Msckey has issued reply
to Simpson 81 James, which shows shat,
although the lawyers have "sootched"
the waterworks "snske," they have not
"killed 1t" by a darned site. Mackey
complains, that giving their opinion, the
lawyers did not consult him nor did they
seek the information that he bad OBJ
tanned. He still maintains and adduces
argument to prove that when the pro-
perty at the head Of the river was sold
there was an understood" IL not actual
reservation, and the alderman proposes
to delve deeper into the question.

He is Missing.

The police have been asked to arrest
a man named Julius kunde, who is
wanted for murder In Seguin. Kunde
surrendered voluntarily, was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to twenty-five
years In the penitentiary. He appealed
and gave bond. The authorities now
find the bond is worthless and want to
arrest him, but Kunde is non est in

The Secretary's Report.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. Z, 1856.
To the Officers and Stockholders of the BCNar
Building and Loan Association.
Again year has passed and we meet
again for the purpose OF eleotlng board
OF directors. Since my last report to
the stockholders, the association has
done very fair business, when we con-
slider that the business that few years
ago was only divided by two associa-
lions OF this kind, when 1t Is shared now
by five kindred associations, we can
justly be proud of the business we have
done.
Since our last annual meeting, the
LIST and 2nd series has been entirely paid
out and of the 3rd series only forty.two
shares remain to be paid.
We have loaned out since our last
meeting the sum OF SG2, 923. on real estate
and stock.
With the exception of very few. all
borrowers are paying up their dues and
interest and even those who are In
arrears will pay up all. 1t only forces
those borrowers to pay for a longer
period. Since our last meeting we were
oompS lied to take back a house built by
the association for Mrs +. Newman, but
the same Is rented out and brings II per
cent. on the capital invested.
The eleventh series 10 now open for
subscription.
That our Building association so far
has proven a continued success, | do
think 1t necessary to dwell upon those
who borrowed in the association can
testify that without the assistance of the
association they never would have been
able to own their own homestead.
In conclusion. Gentlemen, can only
reiterate what stated in my last years
report, that my relations with your
board OF directors has been friendly and
satisfactory one.

Old Adobe.

The old Trueheart building, now oc-
cupied by Justice McAllister as an office.
Is having new coat Of plaster put on
the outside. This old building Is one OF
the ancient landmarks Of San Antonio,
having been built In the early days OF
Texas, when building material Of mod
ern kinds was very expensive and scarce
and the majority Of the buildings were
built Of adobes, or sun dried bricks.
This one Is built OF these sdobes and
would appear to have withstood the ele-
ments better than burned brick would.

by giving them work on municipal i'm

AS matter of economy, it would be a
wise thing to create public improve

rather than support such idle people at

supporting themselves by criminal prac-
tees.

IdIers Put to Shame.

An aged truchman bent under the weight
of big roll Of carpet. His bale hook fell
from his hand and bounded into the gutter
out of reach Twenty idle clerks and sales
men saw the old mans predicament and smiled
at his look of bewilderment. Not one ven
tured to help him. A fashionably dressed
young woman came along, took in the situa-
ton at glance, and, without looking to the
right or left, stepped into the gutter, picked
up the hook in her dainty, gloved fingers and
handed it to the man with pleasant smile.
The oilers looked at each other and at the
fair young woman. The old truckman, in a
violent effort to express his thanks politely,
lost his hat It rolled into the gutter where
the hook had been. This was almost too much
for any woman, young or past young, but
this New York girl was equal TO the occasion.
Into the gutter she tripped again and got the
soiled hat. When she handed 1t TO the truck
man happy smile was seen to play about
her lips.
@God bless ye, miss" the old man said, as
the fair maiden turned her back on the idlers
and went on her way.-New York Tribune.

to the fact that cases Of Group had been

himself had met with three cases Of Group
in families where pigeons were kept, I'm all Of
