! "My adopted boy, fourteen years old, suffered
terribly from scrofula for eighteen months. Ia
had running sores on his leg, which spread til
they at one time formed one great sore from the
calf of his leg up to his thigh, Esrtially covered
with scab and discharging matter continually. The
muscles became contracted so that his leg was
drawn up and he could hardly walk. We tried
everything we could hear cf without success until
we began giving him Hoods Sarsaparila. |
bought bottle of this medicine, and in just one
month, after he had taken about two-thirds Of the
bottle, thu sores were entirely healed up, his leg
perfectly straight and he can walk as well as ever
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best medicine ever sw
for scrofula humor 1t has done its work more than
satisfactorily" WILLIAM SANDERS, RockdLs

The people of Georgetown are made of
the right kind of stuff. They mean to
have railroad, and are tired of fooling
over the matter. If Austin wont help
them-why they intend to do without us.
They amt particular about road to the
south of them, they want an outlet to the
north, and they say they mean to have it..
Success to them in their efforts, and may
Austin profit by their example.

WHAT has become of that preliminary
survey the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
railroad said they would make of the
route from Austin to McGregor as soon
as the Austin and McGregor road was Or
Qanized?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-03-08

The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad is now operating nearly five hun.
dred miles of its own road, and constantly
extending its mileage. This has all been
accomplished in about two years, with an
original capital of about 100000, which
was donation from the citizens of San
Antonio. As each ten miles of the road
was competed it was bonded and the
bonds sold, and with the proceeds
therefrom another ten miles of
road was completed. The Austin and
McGregor road can be built in the same
way If our people really want that road
they can get it, but if they don't want it
they should say so and step aside for some
more enterprising neighbor.

The gentlemen of Laredo, who propose
forming cavalry company, to participate
in the encampment at Austin in May, met
at Market hall, in that city, Tuesday night,
for the purpose of effecting permanent
organization. They propose having from
two to four drills per week, from now until
the time of the encamPment, in order to
prepare themselves to make creditable
showing ct that time.

IT is genuine pleasure to note that
Mr.. Grain did not introduce the civil SER
vice employees pension bill upon his own
volition, but at the request of others.
Like an honest man and democrat he
does not approve the bill, and will oppose
Its passage. Such law would be a mon
strous thing.

Fort Worth never did a more timely
thing than when it organized the Mer-

those who help themselves. Towns and
cities are what people make them.-Fort

The state has outgrown her constitu-
ton. That instrument of over a decade
ago, with its many attempted and con-
summated amendments, does not answer
the purposes of to-day. Good laws have
under it been passed that have helped
piece out its defects, but it sadly nee DIS
remodeliDg. Notably as to the judiciary,
both in the matter of dividing up and
expediting the work, and in arranging a
better scale of salaries for. the judges and
all other court officers. The people will
have none of the amendments sub
mitted to them by the legislature.

WHILE the directors of the Austin and
McGregor road may be doing all they

preliminary survey we will guarantee
Austin's proportion will be raised in
twenty-four hours after notice is received.

Hon. HENRY SAYLEs, "of the Abilene
country" was elected a member of the
immigration executive committee, in
place Of Colonel Chiffon, who was made
secretary. A better selection could not
have been made. Mr.. Sayles is gentle
man of ability and great earnestness, and
is enthusiastic upon the subject of immi-
grafton. The committee decided to order
100000 maps of the state, in the shape of
folders, upon the back of which shall be
printed accurate statistical information
concerning Texas. The committee also
decided to call in 20 per cent of the
$4,000 assessment against each senatorial
district, to assist them in their work. We
take this as an earnest of the efforts of
the committee, and trust their work in
future will be commensurate with the
great ends sought to be attained.

Texas legislatures are not composed
of men who make constitutions. The
state needs the assembling together
of her sblest and most trusted
representative men, who would give
her such constitution as her growth, her
power, her vast and multiplied interests
now demand. Only from such a constitu-
tioual convention can we hope for an
instrument that will stand the stress of
years to come. 1t is idle, in the present
frame of the popular mind, to think of
having the existing constitution pieced
out and patched up by legislative amend
ments. constitutional convention is
the body needed for the work, and to such
a body it should soon be entrusted.

Train Robbery .

Sheriff Mulvenon received the fol- lowing telegram from Division Super intendent Dodge Of the Atlantic X Pa cific railroad, yesterday about noon. "The west bound express train was stepped by three masked men at Par kers mill last night, but they did not get anything. Francis is now at Bell
 mont with posse, but says ne cannot do much until Indian trailers get there to, morrow morning One Uf the men was low sized, short, sandy whiskers and mustache and wore a hite slouch hat.
 All hree looked like cowboys A re- ward of five hundred dollars is offered for the capture and conviction of each, or fifteen hundred dollars for the three which will probably be increased by Wells, Fargo & Co.,"
 Sheriff Mulvenon left on yesterday afternoons train for the scene oi the robbery and will engage Indian trailers and try to run the robbers 10 earth. The train was stopped at the above point, and the engineer and fireman were covered with pistols by the rob- bers, who compelled them to detach the engine and two front cars from the train and run about two miles, when to their discontinue they discovered that the cars contained only mail and baggage the express car which they were after, be- ing left with the passenger coaches.

 X more efficient secretary could not
 have been selected than D. M. Martin.
 The ticket causes our democratic
 friends to shed tears over the defeat of
 some aspirants for office. l As a good single-handed worker with

 The thanks rendered to the chairman | and secretary of the convention was unintentionally omitted in our report on Saturday.
 E. '. Sanford made splendid pres:- ding officer. He was correct in his rulings and firm in his decisions. and gave good satisfaction. "A much better ticket than we nomi- nated,' remarked prominent demo- crat, this morning, who was delegate to the democratic convention. The Flagstaff delegation worked like Trojans for their favorite candidate for councilman, bu gracefully and good naturedly acquiesced to the will of the majority.
 The humer in W. c. Bashfords reso- lution welcoming democrats to the republican fold. since they had failed to endorse themselves or their officials, was heartily appreciated, and was re- ceived with applause.
 In not single instance was a nOmi- nee an aspi'ant for the office for which lie was nominated. It was q genuine case all oind of the office .eeking the man, or rather of the delegates ta king the matter in hand and seeking out the best men for the position, regardless of personal aspirations. They succeeded admirably in doing so.
