GOLD DISCOVERED IL LLANo.

The announcement by our Burnet re-
porter, this morning. of gold discoveries
in the county of Llano. will, and should,
attract general attention both in this state
and abroad. The statement is no mere
romance, but absolute fact. Our reporter
was shown pan of what was, apparently,
BLACK dirt" but upon examination, was
found to contain gold dust. The dirt was
taken from land belonging to Mr.. Tate
in Llano county, twenty miles distant
from Burnet. 1t seems some of this soil
was, several months ago. submitted to
Professor Eyeraart, of the state university,
who pronounced it auriferous. In addi-
ton 10 this evidence mentioned by our
Burnet reporter, goes to show the gold
undoubtedly contained in the lands of
Mr.. Tate is, in all probability, in paying
quantities.
These statements coincide with the OBJ
servations made on the mineralogy of
Llano county, several years ago, by an
Austrian mineralogist, Prof. Streeruw1tz,
now a resident of Houston, who visited
both Llano county and the Chenati Noun
tains on the Rio Grande. Prof. Streeru-
WITT remarked upon gold particles he had
seen in the channels of some of the
streams of Llano. There is no doubt the
hills of Llano as well as portion of Burnet
counties, are rich in minerals, which re-
quire only the magic and powerful hand
of capital to develop.
Since writing the above the dispatch
from San Antonio, giving an account of
the discovery of silver in Llano. has come
to hand. While we connot youch for the
story of the mysterious hunter mentioned
in the dispatch, it adds, nevertheless, to
the statement of our Burnet reporter.

CORPUS CHRIsTI's BOOM.

Mr.. John T. Dickinson, secretary to the
capitol board, returned Monday morn
ing from short visit to his sister, Mrs.
Scott, at Corpus Christi. Mr.. Dickinson
says that since the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass road reached that place, there
has been lively boom inaugurated, and
the people down there are looking for
ward to big results to come from their
new connection with the outer world.
Corpus Christi proposes to become
also the seaside resort for this portion of
Texas, and to this end a company is being
formed with view to erecting $4,000
hotel on the bay shore. The schedule of
trains now in force, makes the run from
Austin to the bay less than twelve hours,
which, if continued through the summer
time, would be an inducement for many
to seek the coast side and enjoy sea
breezes and salt bathing, moonlight sails
and all the attendant pleasures that can
be found where the sea shells grow.

RELEASED FROM SUFFER.

DEATH COMES TO THE RELIEF OF
DIR. MATHIS-FUNERA THIS
MORNING.

IHE STATESMAN, yesterday morning
conveyed the sorrowful intelligence that
DR.. Josiah I. Mathis was at the point OF
death, and now it is called upon to com.
plete the sad record by announcing that
he has passed away. At l O'Clock yester-
day afternoon the fms of a well-spent life
was reached, and cultured mind, a noble
soul, and generous heart, were sealed in
the book of eternity. Around the bed
side were gathered the heart-broken wife
and family, while loving friends tenderlv
administered all that could contribute 70
make the sunset of life calm, peaceful and
painless.
DR.. Mathis, as stated yesterday, was a
native of Tennessee, having been born in
Henry county, August Is, 1927. He was
regarded, and justly so, by the profession
to which he belonged, as an honor to it in
his specially, few in the south, or in the
United States, even excelling him.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence, No, 100 West Nineteenth
street at 10 O'Clock this morning. and will
l attended by the Medical society of
travis county, the Order of Chosen
FRIENDS to which he belonged, and by a
large concourse of friends.

sisting sectional pressure, and striving TO
check sectional strife, and diseousag-
ing the unconstitutional coercion of the
southern states was most praiseworthy,
etc.
Here were men in the northwest who. in
opposition 70 the course of Their sovereign
states, had organized to give aid and
comfort TO those in war With those states
by releasing confederate prisoners in union
camps and by burning northern cities.
Mr.. Davis says their cond7ct was ''nCst
praiseworthy." But the men in North
Carolina who proposed in some way
evidently much milder than that proposed
in the northwest, to give aid and comfort
to the enemies of the confederscy,. Mr..
Davis pronounces bad men and TRAITORS"
whom all patriots should combine against,
and says that the "old North state would
be blackened by the stain" of such con
duct on the part of her citizens. In
other words, they who fight their sover
eigu state, when that sovereign state is on
Mr.. Davis side, are TRAITORS" and should
be PIT down by force. The "best and
noblest will rally to suppress such "trea-
SON." But they who fight their sovereign
state when that sovereign state is fighting
against Mr.. Davis side, are most praise
worthy" and gallant" If the men in |
North Carolina, who we're willing to offer
aid and comfort to the enemies of their
state, were, according to all state rights
traitors" and rebels the men /
in Ohio, who we're willing to offer aid and
comfort to the enemies of their state,
we're, according to the same theories,
traitors" ard 'rebels," and no man who
stands firmly by his principles can avoid
his conclusion.
We regret exceedingly that Mr.. Davis
should have Slipped up" and hurt his
ormer position so badly. His letter does
Inn no credit.

Those who are trying to break up tie
baneful habit of intemperance will exper-
fence great benefit from the use of Prickly
Ash Bitters. Liquors derange the system.
Prickly Ash Bitters will remedy the evil
results and restore the brain, stomach and
liver to healthy action, thereby strength
ening the will power, thoroughly cleansing
and toning up the system and remove
every faint of disease. 1t is purely a
medicine and while pleasant to the taste,
it cannot be used as beverage by reason
of its cathartic properties.

JUDGE COOKS WITHDRAWAL.

Judge Cooks card withdrawing his re-
signation appeared in the Houston and
Galveston papers yesterday. Without
doubt, as now appears, Judge Cooks
resignation was as much surprise to his
friends in Harris and Galveston counties
and indeed throughout the state ia which
the judge is widely known-as it was con-
trary to the wishes of a very large MAJ ority
of the citizens of the counties mentioned.
Public opinion as developed since his
first notice of wish to retire from the
bench, sufficiently showed this fact. The
officials and authorities of Houston and
Galveston, also, seem to have been unit
in opposing his retirement.
1t is, perhaps, better for all concerned
that Judge Cook agrees still to wear the
erEine of the criminal district court of
Houston and Galveston, one of the most
important tribunals in the state-for the
discharge of the duties of
which Judge Cookies legal ability
emineDtly fits him. The only draw
back about the judge, is his good ma
ture and real tender heartedness which
sometimes, no doubt, incline him to favor
the hardened and desperate criminal
where stern justice should alone hold the
balances. As was intimated the other day,
the judge has, like the rest of US, made
mistakes, but he is, for all that, accept
able to the people of his district

A Foolish and stubborn Belief

In the efficacy of certain remedies of violent
action, is the besetting foible of the ignorant
and prejudiced. The indiscriminate use OF
purgatives is very common phase of the
faulty of such people. Aloes, podyphillin,
disguised in sugar coating, castor oil, mercury,
and other old fashioned drugs, still hold their
wn among this class, and although the sue
cess of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters sufficiently
dlsproves the necessity for viOlene in medi-
cation, the adherents of an exploded fallacv
still persist in giving and taking inordinate
purgatiye doses. Dyspepsia, constipation. liv-
er complaint are as certainly and thoroughly
subdued by the Bitters, as they are invariabiy
aggravated by an iudiscriminate use of medi-
cInes, Othclnal or proprietary, belonging to the
class which we have condemned. Fever ard
ague, nervousness, rhuematism and inactivity

A DISPATCH tells that there will be a
contest over Speaker Carlisle's seat. We
are glad to know this. Let the fight wax
warm and warmer. Free traders have
nothing to fer from agitation and pro-
tectionists everything to lose. The
sooner the black flag is raised and no
quarter asked or given, the sooner will
American commerce be set free.
