Draw the Water Ont OF Your Wells.

Owing to the wet weather, many Of our
wells have surface water in them. This is
dangerous to health and life. 4 prudent man
will take the fewest number of risks, and will
empty his well. Nearly all of-Sur sickness is
caused by poisonous wcll'-..er. AS matter
OF economy it is cheaper to draw the water
out Of our wells and TO clean our premises
than 1t is to pay either doctors bills or funer-
al expenses. Our life and our health is our
richest estate, therefore we should take proper
care not to tempt Providence 10 visit us in "a
mysterious way" Providence does not will
lingly affiict the sons of men, and on this ac-
count alone, can we account for the health
and filth which is be to found hereabout.

Another Devilish Deed BIots the Record of
Houston-The Perpetrator In Jail
Special to the Gazette
HOUSTON, Tx, July 1.-THE third
tragedy within week was enacted in the
Fifth ward of the city this morning at an
early hour. Tom Hall, mullatto. has
been living with negro girl named Lou
Myer for the pdst seven years, having
first taken up with the girl when she was
thirteen years of age. Although not
married, their relations were those
of man and wife, and the
girl bore three children Finding
that she was unfaithful to him, Hall
determined to be revenged, and this
morning he attacked her savagely with
a knife. She turned to fee but u
succeeded in cutting her throat ana
then stabbing her several times IN thE
breast, severing two ribs on the right
side and one on the left. She cannot
possibly recover. Hail gave himself up
and is in jail. He appears to be glad
of his accomplishment and is anxious
that the victim of his wrath die.
