logical straightforward and Local.
Special Telegram TO the Statesman.
BURNETT, August ca special train
came in from Austin at 1920 last night to
bring Col. W. A. II. Miller, of Llano who
had been advised by wire of the sudden
and dangerous illness of his little
daughter. He left for Llano by private
conveyance at IL o'clock last night.
Mr.. Fred A. Wright of L!ano, who has
been in town several days, states that the
pros pecting o2erations of his company in
Llano and Mason counties are progressing
satisfactorily, but the work would have
been much further advanced had there
been a reliable geological survey CT
the state to draw information from
at the commencement of their enterprise.
As it was they went to work practically IN
the dark, and have had to depend entirely
on their own examination of the general
geological features, as well as the extent
of the particular ores they are pros pect
ing. He thinks the geological survey for
which the extra session made appropria
ton will be worth millions g, of
dollars to the state, provided it is
in charge of man of scientific
education and practical experience in the
fields of mineral development.
Rev. Junius Wilkins, of Austin, is con-
Quoting a series of meetings at the
Christian church at this place.
Robert Galloway, of Round Mountain,
brother of W. G. aud James Galloway, has
located in Burnet with the mer-

A gusty and changeable wind during the
past twenty-four hours is considered a
good indication of rain which is very
badly needed. The cotton crop is in the
greatest peril and will be ruined by much
more dry weather.

The Indians seem to be breaking out
with hostile intent in Arizona, and proba
bly, will make their annual hunting excur.
sion for scalps. The only way to prevent
these outbreaks is to place those engaged
In them, when captured, beyond the reach
of further hunts in this world. The sickly
sentimentality which causes the govern,
ment to expend millions of dollars every
year in an attempt to Christianize LOT
of worthless, drunken, savage vagabonds
is the heaviest handicap on the settlement
of the Indian question .-Wsshingto

ST. ANDREWS, N. B., August Ga SEN
sation has been caused here by the arrival
of the dominion cruiser, Dream, with an
Americal vessel in tow. On Saturday Vim.
Danbury, of Eastport, N. F., who is com
monty known as King Haddock, fisher
man of the Maine coast, and Chas. Black
set sail from Bordertown on fishing ex
petition in Canadian waters. They failed
to provide themselves with license.
They sailed as far as Camp Abello, and
were just getting ready to fish, when the
commander of the cruise caught sight of
them and bore down upon them. The
two fishermen tried hard to cross into
American waters, but were overhauled
ard made prisoners. The fishery depart
ment has been notified.

Every days report of the proceedings
of the British parliament on the commits
sion bill to inquire into the alleged Par
nell tters--denounced as forgeries--
shows that the government is determined
to pack that commission, to refuse every
appeal for fair play, and, in a word, to
play with loaded dice. The ministerial
party in the house of commons is earning
the contempt of the English speaking
woodland is getting it.-Philadelphia

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at Morley
Bros. drug store as their giving away to
their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article,
from the face that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, colds, asthma,
bronchitis, Group and all throat and lung
diseases quickly cured. You can test it
before buying by getting trial bottle
free; large size, 81. Every bottle war

The week past has been almost as dull as it's
predecessors snd, it may be stated, it closes with
feeling less buoyant and hopeful than its in

another drouth, which has the same depressing in

been used, at this season. for five years past There
have been few changes in any of the departments
of trade since our last weekly report, except in
county produce which will be found noted in tae

BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago contracted blood pois.

his treatment came near killing me. / en-
ployed an old physician and then went to
KY. then went to Hot Springs and re-
manned two months, but nothing seemed to
cure me permanently, although temporary
relief was given me. My condition grew
desperate and | applied to noted quack,
but / did not improve. then used pre-.
paration which was prescribed gratis,
but it contained too much alcohol and ag
gravated my suferings. then placed my.
self under the treatment of noted Nashville
physician and for time was benefited. but
by fall returned home ruined man phys.
ically and financially, with but little pros.
pect of ever getting well. My money be-
ing exhausted, did not know what to do.
In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me to
get bottle of B. B. B. (made in Atlanta)
and l did so to crafty her, but to my utter
establishment had uot finished my first
bottle before every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time have used five bot
ties and have received more benefit than
from all the rest combined; and am salts
fed that B. B. B. is the most wonderful
blood purifier ever before known, and Iurge
all afflicted young men to try one single
bottle and be convinced. can truly say
l think it the best medicine in the world.

More Precious Than Gold.

Few persons have any notion ofthe
fact that 80 per cent of all the flower
seeds sold in this country come from
abroad. More than half of these are
grown in Germany, where vast tracts
are devoted solely to this purpose
Travellers say that these huge farms.
with acres upon acres of asters,
chrysanthemums, mignonettes, sweet
pease, and so on, all in bloom, are an
astonishing sight. Imagine whole
district, many square miles in extent,
all one continuous garden. The
gathering of the seeds on these plan
tations is labor requiring infinite
skill and patience. Each blossom
must individually receive the most
careful attention. Take, for instance,
the pansy. On each plant not more
than two or three flowers must be
always kept in process of going to
seed, which is to be removed from
the bush when it is ripe and before it
has an opportunity to scatter itself.
Manure water must be constantly
applied, to make the little "Johnny-
jump-ups" grow bigger-for that is
the way, you know, in which the
monstrOuS pansies one sees in hot
houses are produced-and great pains
must be taken with the crossing of
breeds, so as to obtain the best
possible results. So it is also with
better flowers.
The seeds, once harvested, are
bought up wholesale dealers Of
Europe, who send them, by the
ounce or pound, to this country. The
merchants here do them up in small
packages, marked with their own
stamps, and in this manner they
reach the public on this side of the
water. Some of them are enormous
ly expensive. The writer bought,
last.season, microscopic quantity of
some pansy seed which cost at the
rate of S75 per ounce. The flowers
which sprang from them were
vegetable butterflies, counterfeiting
those gorgeous insects not only in the
brilliancy of their varied coloring,
but even in the shape and peculiar
markings of their wing-like petals
Fuchsia seeds of the finest quality
bring 800 an ounce and others-suct
as those of the gloxinia, cinneraria
coleus and echeveria-fetch vel
higher prices, equal 10 many times
their weight in gold. A few are Sc
valuable that they have actually tt
be counted out at so much apiece
There is small number of gardener
in the United States who make /.
business of growing select strains O
certain rare plants for the market
but the supply derived from thes
sources is considerable.
