Brace Tn.

You are feeling depressed, your appe-
tite is poor, you are bothered with head
ache, you are fidgetty, nervous, and gen.
orally out of sorts, and want to brace up.
Brace up, but not with stimulants, spring
medicines, or bitters, which have for
their basis very cheap, bad whisky, and
which stimulate you for an hour, and
then leave you in worse con ,ition than
before. What you want is an alternative
that will purify your blood, start healthy
action of liver and kidneys, restore your
vitality, and give renewed health and
strength. Such medicine you will find
in Electric Bitters, and only 80 cents a
obttle at J.. A. Ruperts drug store.

JACOB A. GAUDAUR,
THE WINNER.
legislation.

The road sculling contest, which
lasted a week in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, was won by Jacob A.
Gaudaur, of whom we give portrait.
He made 465 miles and one lap; Ross,
462 and two laps.
At the first contest of the kind on
this continent the race is a
very interesting event. The ma
chine used by the contest
ants is an English invention, and
was first used in the mother country.
Described in a few words, it is a
tricycle. propelled by man just as a
sliding seat scull is. The frame is
of light iron, resting at the back
upon an axle which is bent SO that
the centre of weight is below the
wheels. The side bars are connect
ed in front to afford place for the
small wheel. The front wheel is
twenty inches in diameter, and each of
the other is forty inches. The sliding
seat, just like that in any scull of
these days, rests on the rear part OF
the frame. Where the toes press
against the foot rest there are levers,
and by pushing on these with one
foot or the other, the Oarsman turns
the little wheel, and thus steers his
machine.
The race won by Gaudaur was for
ten thousand dollars prizes. There
were six prizes for the men going the
greatest distance. These were in or
der, 81 800, 81, $50, 5000, 5000, $3.50, and
$780, The man who made the longest
run each day gets $3.50. Three thou
sand five hundred dollars We're
divided into eight special prizes-four
of $3.50 each to the first four cOntes-
tants making eight hundred miles
three of $500 each to the first three
making nine hundred miles, and one
of one thousand dollars to the first
man making one thousand miles. In
all there were twenty prizes.
Gaudaur is a Canadian by birth.
He was born at Orillia, Ontario, and
is about 81 years Of age. He stands a
half inch over six feet in height, and
weighs about hundred and seventy
pounds when in racing condition.
Gaudaur has place in the state of
Missouri, near Creve CPur Lake,
where he has an excellent opportunity
of practice.

For Congress, 10th Cong. District
COL. AUGUSTUS BELKNAP,
OF SAN ANTONIO.
cATTLEMEN ARE INTERESTED.

CATTIEME I'm AXE TN EHEo EC'
If more has been said concerning
the ruinous effects of unfriendly tariff
legislation upon the sheep and wool
interests of this state, and of this
tenth congressional district, than has
been said concerning the ruinOus eff
fects of that same legislation upon the
cattle industry of Texas, it is not be-
cause the cattle interests are one whit
more secure. Every consideration Of
self protection that induces the wool
grower to resist the encrOachments Of
free trade, should induce the cattle
man to protect his. interests. 1t is
probably because more stress has
been laid upon the wool question and
the cattle interests being left COM
paratively in the back ground, many
cattIemen are of opinion that their in
dustry is not in immediate peril. This
is by no means the case. Under the
existing 20 per cent advalorem duties,
the importation of cattle, and horses
and mules from Mexico is largely on
the increase. Remove these duties
and place the Texas cattle and horse
breeder at the mercy of Mexican COM
petition, and what will be the result.
The Texas ranchman will be no long
er able to pay the present rentals on
- Texas lands and must give up his Oc-
cupation. The horse and cattlemen
will be driven into Mexico upon the
free lands there, and the great
land owners of Texas will find ruin
staring them in the face. More than
one third the free list of the Mills bill
is made up of the products Of the
forest, the farm and the mine. This
will not only effect the owners OF
these tim bered lands, and these farms
and these mines, but it will also dis,
asterously effect the labor employed
in farming, timbering and mining
and compel reduction of wages in
the millions of hands employed in
these industries. The farmers and
cattlemen are as much interested in
defeating all free trade measures and
in seeing that only prOtectiOnists are
elected to congress as are the sheep.

due notice and be governed accord,

A Cargo Of Monkeys.

A French paper relates good sto-
nv about a merchant in Marseilles
who wrote to a correspondent on the
cost of Africa asking him to send him
at his convenience two or three mon
KEYS of the rarest and most valuable
species. AS chance would have it the
merchant, in stating the number,
wrote GU (or) between the figures two
and three with very small and a
diminutive u. How great events may
issue from small causes will appear
from the sequel. A few months pass
ed over, when at last a messenger was
sent from the harbor to inform the
merchant that his menagerie had ar
rived. My smenageriel' was the as
tonished reply. eyes, menageric;
in fact, whole cargo of monkeys
have come for you" The merchant
could not believe the man until a let
ter was delivered to him from his
friend in Africa, a person of the most
scrupulous exactness, in which he
gravely apologized for his having
been unable, Notwithstanding all his
efforts, to procure more than 100
monkeys instead of 203 as ordered,
but promised to forward the remain
der as soon as possible. Imagine the
feelings of the merchant on going
down to the port to convince himself
with his own eyes of the existence Of
his 100 monkeys, which were all COM
fortably housed and which grinned
at him through the bars of their
cages.
