POLITICAL POINTERS,
Sayings of the Patriotic Cand1-
dates and Their Friends.
A Whirlwlnd of Opinions and a
Wh1rlWind OF Anxiety as
to the Outcome.

1t is quietly talked around that there
is very strong probability OF the repub-
licans running Judge John B. Rector for
the state senate, if he can be pers uaded to
accept the nomination.
The STATESMAN, some days ago, men
toned that Mr.. r. Platt was frequently
mentioned by the republicans as suit
able candidate for sheriff, but he says
that no word, deed or act of his can be
construed to warrant the assertion that he
is a candidate. He never has been, and is
not now, candidate, and wouldn't have
the Office if it was rendered him.
By the way, Sam Platt is candidate for
sheriff before the democratic oonven ton
Sam was in the ranger force long time,
and he was good one. He YVES delegate
to the last state democratic convention
from the county in which he was living at
the time.
Around political centers it is wh,spered
that Mr.. Thomas H. Wheeless has legls-
lative bee in his bonnet.
There is some talk that possibly MI
Vim. Won Rosenberg jr. may loom up as a
strong candidate for an important Office.
OF the seven or eight candidates for
sheriff. it is hard to tell who is in The lead,
but it is safe to say, and bets were freely
offered last night, that-that one OF them
would be nominated.
Mr.. Walter Robertson, the nominee for
constable, is going to have Mr.. CrenshaW
pltted against him as an independent.
The district iudgeship is still in mud
die, and there is no telling what will turn
up between now ard next Saturday.
Mr.. Chidress is undoubtedly In the
lead for county attorney, and nothing
short of an earthq uake is going to knoci
him over and out.
The papers throughout the state are IN
dustriously running Judge Terrell for thu
state senate, but here in the district it ap
pears that Hon. George Glasscock Is doing
the running,
Hon. Felix Smith seems to be in thu
lead for the lower house from the count!
district.
For the county judgeship Judge Bur
seems to be the favorite, but Hon. W. M
Brown and his friends are very sangaine
and they ere going to make strong hgh
in the convention.

KEEP COOL.
A Few Timely Hints for the Hot
Days.


The mercury climbed high up into the
the ninetie yesterday and calmly gazed
down upon painting humanity from its
lofty perch.
Everybody was impressed with the fact
that the heated term is upon us sure
enough.
1t therefore behooves all to keep cool
that liz, keep as cool as you can.
Drinking cold beer, milk shakes and
soda water is not the most cooling thing
| in the world. Far from it. They cool the
stomach for few moments only and then
the heat returns with much greater force.
Moderately cold water is the best end the
safest summer drink.
If you are wise you will give the seduct-
i've milk shake wide berth, especially {
night.
Keep out Of the sun as much as possible,
and when discussing politics be careful to
not become overheated. Be sure to be
careful, especially if the other fellow is
the biggest.
People who violently rush into heated
political discussions during the heated
term are not wise.
Keep your little ones comfortably
clothed. Throw aside ell conventional
ties and let the little tots revel in simple
slip. Its better for them and will save
you world OF worry. Be careful and LET
them eat only perfectly ripe and fresh
gathered fruit. Let 'em roll in the dust
out under the shade trees and play pa
kissing the good looking servant. Its
better than keeping them cooped up in
the house. Let 'em have all the outdoor
fun possible.
Let everybody resolve to keep cool, and
let it be passed along on silver salver
that the best way to do it is to take the
STATESMAN, keep on the good eide of the
reporter, don't let your wife see you smile
too sweetly upon other women, advertise
your business and pay the preachers.
Whatever you do, keep cool.

RUMoRs OF CHOLE ERA.
Is There Really Danger Of an Out
break?

The Lockhart Register publishes re-
port that one death from cholera has oc-
Cured in San Antonio, ard says that three
physicians pronounced it cholera, the
chief cause of the disease being "milB
shake"
However this may be, it has been
rumored for some days that there is g
great deal of sickness in San Antonio
and much of it of that character which
may develop into cholera at the slightest
provocation.
Private letters from the Alamo city al
lude to the unhealthy condition of the
place, and they state that the sanitary af
fairs of the city are bling woefully neg
lected.

Is CONSUMPTION Incurable?

Read the following: Mr.. @. H. Morris,
Newark, Ark, says: "Was down with
abscess of lungs, and friends and physi-
clans pronounced me an incurGble con-
sumptive. Began taking DR.. Kings new
discovery for consumption, am now on
my third bottle, and able to oversee the
work on my farm. Is the finest medicine
ever made"

doctors. Am now in best Of health" Try

THEW Should be Squelched.

There are certain men in this wide,
wide world who seem to think 1t their
bounden duty to curse out the police
upon the slightest provocation, knowing
full we'll that the officer cannot defend
himself. It's high time this was being
brought to a dead halt, and the next time
such an occurrence comes up the officer
assailed should promptly and emphat-
icslly squelch the offender. The police
men of Austin and their officers, without
single exception, are quiet, courteous
gentlemen, prompt and fearless in the
discharge of their duties, and if there is
any satisfactory reason why red tape
regulation should compel them to sub
NIT to the tongue-lashing and insults OF
everyone who chooses to do so, The
STATESMAN falls to see it.

All! a mistake. He had a pilot. He
was steered into many places. The wiles
of women and the seductive wine were
turned loose upon him, and then he was
considerably turned loose upon the giddy,
giddy world without a cent.
He had been skinned, and not cent OF

How and when and by whom the cheer-
full skinning process was accom- pllshed ne

One thing he can emphatically swear to,
however,-he was skinned.
It's the old, old, story. It's common in
city life, and perhaps as long as the world
exists the suckers will continue to be
skinned.
There appears to be no hope for them.

Highly Complimentary.

The Austin Greys held meeting last
night, and, after some rontine business,
Sergeant Roberdeau called the boys to-

in neat speech presented him with a
handsome gold-headed cane in the name
of the company. The gallant captain was
taken wholly by surprise, but he managed
TO return his thanks in an appropriate
manner. The cane is beautifully en-
graved: "To Captain N. p. Houx from

Qualities Of a Good Mixer.

There is no person more valuable
upon the farm than a good mixer, and
there is no rarer individual. The first
requisite is an even temper and perfect
control of self. The essentials are u
complete knowledge of the cows con-
dition, SO that any diseases of the udder
may be prevented, or if occurring, be
promptly and properly treated. A
quiet, calm manner, the use of the
whole hand, and an even pressure SO
that the animal is not compelled to en-
dure torture. The skill requisite for a
good mixer is only acquired by long
practice, but there are certain people
naturally better constituted than others
to excel in this particular. 1t is abso-
lutely essential that the mixer should
be habitually neat, and careful to be
scrupulously SO when milking. The
bag should be carfully washed with
clean, tepid water, and wiped with IA
soft cloth before milking begins. Only
a person who can be thoroughly trusted
in the care of himself, of the cows and
of the milk can be regarded as good
mixer, and such a person must ever
command good wages.-Dairy World.
