starring point. Every foot of the course
can be plainly seen from all parts of the
grand stand, so that the audience can
follow the fleet footed racers from post to
finish without craning of necks or jostling
and crowding each other. The
track Is 10 perfect condition and
everything IN readiness for this
most exciting and popular advertisement
with visitors to state fairs and expositions.
The reporter of The STATESMAN was also
shown by Mr.. Armstrong through the ex-
tensive stables kept on the ground by Mr..
Henry B. Sanborn, for the display of
some of the blooded stock from his farm.
Here are to be seen some of the noblest
looking animals in the state, from the
broad-girthed, beayy-muscled "Percheron,"
the finest heavy draught horses
known, to the light-limbed flyers, on
whose feetness of foot thousands of dol
lars are daily lost and won.
And, whatis of great interest to visitors,
Dallas has in times past proven her
ability to provide for all strangers who
come within her gates. In hospitality to
her guests she has never been found
wanting, and, judging from the past, it is
safe to surmise that no one visiting the
fair this year will come away in any way
dissatisfied.

Passed Away.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mr.. R
H. Peck, an old and well known citizen,
died at his residence in North Austin. Mr..
Peck was one of Austin's oldest business
men, having conducted business here
for years with Mr.. Bremond, father of
Mr.. Eugene and John Bremond
The partnership with Mr.. Bremond was
dissolved by mutual agreement along in
the fifties, and Mr.. Peck erected q large
building on the corner where the Driskill
now stands, where he conducted a large
business up to the outbreak of the war.
Since the war he has not been engaged in
active business, but has devoted his atten-
tion to farming and fine stock raising.
AS a business man he stood high, and
in his death the county has
lost useful citizen and his family kind
husband and loving father. He leaves a
wife, three daughters -Mrs.James P. Hart,
Mrs. Tom Jones AMI Mrs. Ed. Millican-
and one son, Mr., Fred Peck, to mourn his
loss. His funeral will occur this afternoon
at 4 O'Clock from the family residence.
Friends of the family are respectfully in
vited to attend.

Guarding Against Diphtheria.

Another case of diphtheria is reported
in South Austin, and in this connection
the following should be read and needed,
as SO many look upon the disease with alb
solute Indifference so far as its contagious
character is concerned
"Diphtheria is contagious disease.
Mild cases beget mild or severe cases.
(Tonsilitis is diphtheria in many, perhaps
most instances. This mild variety is that
from which adults are apt to suffer. With
this variety, parents while complaining of
a slightly sore throat, kiss their children,)
Whenever it is suspected it ought to be
looked after. When it is seen, it ought to
be isolated and treated, less perhaps for
the sake of those who are sick, than those
who are in danger of being infected.
Those sick with diphtheria, severe or
mild, must be isolated.-Dr. A. jacob"

CONVICT LABOR.

AUSTIN, Tex, October 8, 1888.

AOollN, lo4s, NCGOuSE o. 1000.
To the Editor of the Statesman.
l notice from your editorial comments
in Fridays paper upon the communica-
ton of I. j. c., published in Wednes Jay .
STATESMAN, that the convict labor question
is attracting considerable attention. 1t
certainly very serious question and
should receive the calm and dispassionate
attention and action of our best states
men and lawmakers. You very justly re-
marked that "the state is under obligation
to safely restrain her convicts and main
tain the whole convict system with the
least expense to the taxpayers" Yes,
they should be humanely treated, be well
fed and clothed, but they should be made
to work to pay expenses at least.
1 also agree fully with I. j. y. that they
should not be permitted to work at any
trade, occupation or employment where
the fruits of their labor would come in
com petition with the honest workingmen
and farmers of the country. At the first
glance these two propositions appear to
be incompatible. Not SO, however. L. j.
G. recommends that they be farmed out

the bowels soon throw off the burden that para

no gripping or drenching. If it did it would, like
them, be valueless for ordinary use. There Is
