SAN ANTONIO will not be found so
very far in the rear when the calcula-
tions are made for this year upon the
actual basis of matters accomplished.
The state fair at Dallas will not de-
tract one iota from the Importance of
our own and this exposition will be a
success. The soldiers reunion is des-
tanned to be one of the historic gather
ings of the old Alamo city. Our peo-
pie will be heard from at Fort Worth
next month on the deep water ques-
ton. The national editorial conven-
ton will be the most important meet
ing so far as advertising Southwest
Texas is concerned that has ever been
held within the state and will be an
occasion fully prepared for and long
remembered. Last, but by no means
least, the city is preparing tOrid itself
of the stigma of its present municipal
mal-administration and come to the
front with a local government that
will be a credit to the old town, finan-
cially, morally, and Intellectually.

WATTERsoN attempts to avoid the
free trade issue forced upon the demo-
cracy in the record of the two conven-
tons of 1888.

dent (Which the board OF managers en-
dorse) the laws governing the institution
should be amended so as 10 provide for u
judicial examination of convict patients
whose terms Of sentence have expired and
who are considered by the authorities unfit
to be at large. Under the existing law
meddlesome persons can secure the release
of a patient without assuming the response
bility for his subsequent care, and the lives
and property of the public may be leopard
lied by the release Of a vicious lunatic.
Two such cases are cited as demonstrate
ing the need Of the suggested amendment
to the law. The release of one Ross was
secured, and in less than go days he
visited the asylum armed with q revol-
yer and two knives. He was the constant
victim of decisions, and he wandered from
place to place making such threats that he
was finally complained of and committed
to an asylum. The other case Is the famil-
lar one OF; Alice Kelley. She was released
from the asylum, and subse luently detain
ed and held for examination as TO her sani-
~. She was permitted TO leave the state,
and in few days she was murdered in
Iowa by some unknown person.

ADVERSELY TO MICHIGAN.
A Decision by the Secretary of the
Interior, by which Michigan
il n IOgar

The secretary Of the interior has rejected
the claim of the state Of Michigan 10 tract
of land in the upper peninsula. Some 300,-
600 acres are directly involved, while more
than 100000 acres more are indirectly af-
fected.
This decision settles one of the most i'm
portant land cases that has arisen in the
department for several years. IL involves
indirectly about 800, 900 acres in Michigan,
originally granted TO the several railroads
in this state. The roads now own some
$50, 900 acres of them. About one year ago
the state began the prosecution Of these
suits to recover she land, the present value
of which ia something like s.,
600, 900. The case involves the
larger part OF all the railroad
lands in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
1t had special Importance as the success of
the states claim meant that whole villages
have been found TO have been erected upon
lands purchased from the railroad cOmpa
MES, and to which they never possessed
title.
The suits were brought in the name Of
the state by Cyrus G. Luce, governor and
ex-senator Christiancy and many other
leading lawyers of the state were retained
as counsel. The point in the claim Of the
state was that the lands VIII oh were grant
ed TO herailroads were erroneous V marked
on the books of the land office. and that
they rightfully belong 10 the state as swamp
lands under the general act of 1870 The
officials OF the land Office say that If the
lands were really swamp lands, the state
has legal and equitable claim, no matter
TO whom the railroads have disposed of
them

Given n Life Sentence.

Frank NJ. House, has been convicted in
the circuit court at Marshall of the muir
der of George Campbell and sentenced to
Jackson prison for life.
George Campbell, a farmer % years old,
finished his supper on the evening Of Aug
:, 1887, and went TO call on a neighbor, e..
Il. Chidester. He met Frank House over
there and while talking with him in the
barn yard another neighbor, who CHANGED
to be passing interrupted them. What
time is iti' he asked OF Campbell. Camp
bell took out his silver watch and told him.
The neighbor moved on. The two
young men then went to Mr. Chidis-
ter's house and were seen later going
toward the barn. Still later in the night
House came back to the place for lantern
and was not seen again until the ext day.
But Campbell had disappeared. House
said he had bought his team and silver
watch He had possession Of both. Camp
bell, he declared, had gone west and did
not wish TO have his address known. The
missing mans mother received "a letter
purporting to come from him, but not in
his handwriting. He had sore hand, he
said, and friend was writing for him. A
year passed. Some one thought II was
strange that an old we'll in Chidister's or
chard had been filled in, it was said, with
out the owners direction. The thought
grew into a suspicion. The well was dug
out. In the bottom of it the corpse of a
murdered man was found. IL was identi-
fed as that of George Campbell and Frank
House was arrested for the crime.

Vance concerning the prohibition of i'm
portations Mr.. Edmunds said that we had

ing importation, the time would come when
the United States would dictate the price
| of everything in the world. Finally a vote

Our Insane Criminals.

The report of the board of managers of
Ihe asylum for insane criminals in connec-
ton with the state house Of correction al
Ionia shows that during the biennial period
there has been admitted AZ males and five
females, and the whole number under
treatment during the period was 142, 1873 of
whom were males and 10 females. During
this time II patients were discharged as re-
covered, five improved, one unimproved,
and eight have died. Total receipts were
$5S, 33; total disbursements S52, sOS.69.
Tho present buildings are overcrOwded.
Attention is called to the necessity of in
creasing the capacity of the asylum. The
institution has capacity OF 80, and the
present population is Ill. 1t became neces-
sary several months ago TO notify the sew
eral institutions that no more patients
could be received, and already several are
awaiting transfer who cannot be admitted.
Governors Luce and Alger have each ex-
pressed themselves as opposed TO the en-
largement of the present institution, and
the permanent continuance OF the asylum
in connection with the state house of cor
rection, the bars and forbidding aspect of
which cannot but have depressing effect
upon the insane. In the opinion of the
board and the medical superintendent the
least burdensome plan for the state would
be to purchase so acres of land within one
and half miles of,the present asylum and
build thereon building for not fewer than
fifty patients. This would relieve the
present quarters and form the nucleus of a
new asylum at no greater expense than
would be incurred in sufficiently increasing
the capacity of the present institution.
Tho coming legislature will therefore be
requested TO appropriate about twenty six
thousand dollars for this purpose. In adj
dition TO this they ask for the sum OF 81, 975
for new boiler, cows, fire protection. re-
pairs, etc

STANLEY A CAPTIVE.
A Heavy Price Put Upon HisHead


In a letter received at Suakim from Os
man Digna, and which is supposed TO have
contained the announcement that Emn
Pasha and a white traveller presumably
Stanley had fallen into the hands of the
Mahdi, were inclosed copies of a dispatch
from a Dervish leader at Lando TO Khanh-
ia Pasha, giving the date Of Emin Pasha's
surrender as October 10, and a letter TO
Emin Pasha from the Khedive, which the
latter handed TO Henry NJ. Stanley when he
was at Caro-.
1t is rumored that Osman Digna in his
letter expressed a Willingness TO surrender
Emin Pasha and his white companion pro
vided Egypt would agree TO abandon Sua-
kim. If this proposal is not accepted it is,
believed that both captives will be killed
The British cabinet are now discussing the
situation.
Along with his letter Osman Digna sent
several cartridges, which, he alleged, were
taken from the white Traveller. The Zan-
zibari in SANKEY'S expedition were armed
with Snider rifles, but there none in the
possession Of the Dervishes.

Ill Health the Most Prolific Cause OF
Insanity,


The report of the board of trustees of the
Eastern Michigan asylum at Pontiac for
the biennial period ended June 80, 1888, has
been issued The report gives many inter
esting facts and a large amount OF informa-
ton, being widely different in this respect
from usual reports of a like character.
June 80, 1887, there were under treatment
at this asylum COS patients, 1857 males and
1871 females. On June 80 1888, the total
number of patients was 715, of whom 1871
were males and 3S4 females, marked in
crease OF insanity among the latter during
the year.
The mortality portion Of the report shows
that 81 patients died during the year. One,
half Of these had lived more than fifty
years, II were above the age of seventy and
four had passed the four-score period of
life The patients who died under thirty
years of age numbered only eight.

Decision in a Patent Case.

Patent lawyers in Washington regard the
decision rendered in the two cases of Marsh
and Lefevre VS. Nichols, Shepard q Co, OF
Battle Creek, handed down IN the supreme
court, one of the most important patent
opinions yet delivered The case involved
the validity of a prtent granted years ago,
owned by Marsh and Lefevre. II seems
that, through inadvertence, the secretary
of the interior failed TO attach his signature.
In all other respects the patent was in due
form of law. About two years subsequent,
the assistant secretary of the interior
signed the patent. During these two years
Nichols used the patented device. The
owners claimed infringement. The supreme
court holds that the patent was not valid
till signed by the assistant-secretary of the
interior and consequently could not have
been fnfringed until signed.
The state board of health has advices of

What is this nervous trouble with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If YOU
will remember a few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
il is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fOre-fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel il
compelled to pass it off through the system
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
