Attention Property Owners.

Protect your fences, fence posts, shin
giles, sheds, agricultural implements and
all wooden structures above or in the
ground against rot and decay by using
our patent paint Carbolineum Avena-
illus as it costs but very little. A pine
post properly painted with this compound
will last fifteen years.
The German and English governments
are using it on all public buildings, and
recommend it as the only actual, positive
wood or stone preserver in the world.
In several European countries it has
been used extensively for the last fifteen
years with the best result, and we shall be
pleased to show testimonials of the best
authorities to that effect. The Erie Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, of Aus
tin, have been using Carbolineum for
several years on their posts and cross
arms with such satisfactory result that
they have recently given us an order for
200 gallons, and we take pleasure in re-
ferring to them and Mr.. VIM. F. Pillow,
superintendent of supplies of the above
named company, who has also expert
mented with Carbolineum with very salts
factory results as to the preserving quail
ty of this compound.

The Delicacy of Women.

"Like the lily once mistress of the field,
woman often hangs her head and perishes,
trusting to innocence and love to protect"
Her eye may grow dim, her cheeks pale,
before her lips will reveal the secret of her
suffering. Approaching this element in
woman's nature, DR.. R. V. Pierce has pre-
pared remedy called "Favorite Prescrip-
tion," pied especially for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women, and
placed the same on sale by druggists.
Ask for the "Favorite Prescription" and
you can cure yourself without publicity,
and without. being subject to the examina-
ton of surgeons. Full directions with
each bottle. 1t is the only guaranteed
cure. See guarantee on every bottle
wrapper.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Some More About the Principe
De Gales Cigar.

Certain parties in this city who have
been advertising themselves as sole and
exclusive agents for the above brand of
cigars also neglected to state that they
we're only "sub" agents from small
cigar house in Galveston. Yet with loud
talking and heavy advertising they seek
to make the public believe that they are
the only ones who have the genuine Prin
cipe De Gales, when they know that they
are not advertising facts. We represent
large eastern parties and constantly re-
oeive fresh shipments which we sell at
low figures. This probably is the real
reason why the other parties get excited
Don't allow yourselves to be deceived,
but buy the genuine article fresh at Burt
Bros. & Co.'s, the popular cigar men, not
agents for the small Galveston house, but
sole agents for Austin from the manufac
lures agents in the east.

Patriotic War Orators,

Stranger at big demonstration and

pleasantness."
Old soldier and citizsn-"No; neither of
them we're in the army"
Strsnger-"Why, they give very graphic
and minute descriptions of some of the
battles, and lead one to believe they were
there and were the brsvest of the brave"
Old soldier-"Ob, yes, but they were
simply telling the experience of some
soldier who was in the battles, and who
fought through the war while his wife was
at home working her fingers off spinning
and weaving for her husband and little
ones. Them orators stayed at home during
the war, holding fat offices and making
windy speeches, and blest if they havn't
kept it up ever since"

" A&b OAO l. 1SoAAShb VI l11O AAA1dASS
Thinks About It.
Doctor Fields, president of the State
Alliance, abiding to the defeat of the COM
mission bill in the senate yesterday, sail:
"If those who have defeated the bill do
not secure the passage of some measure
of relief to the state from exorbitant
freight rates, and the legislature should
adjourn without any law on the subject,
it will leave the democratic party in very
bad plight. The people will not know
what reliance to place on party promises
hereafter. 1 don't suppose, however, that
it will divide the party, but the people
will remember the men who defeated such
legislation and nullifed the party promises
IN the next election. The Alliance, should
it see fit to concentrate upon any one man,
for governor, could elect him, but such a.
contingency is wholly improbable. The
Alliance is a non political organization
and has no candidate for governor two
years hence"

honored heroes and patriots, and closed
his remarks by moving that the mayor

men, one from each ward to co operate
with a committee of citizens in receiving
and properly entertaining the veterans
while they are in the city. The motion
was unanimously adopted, and the mayor

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard
IN praise of Electric Bitters So many
feel they owe their restoration to health
to the use of the Great Alternative and
Tonic. If you are tronbled with any dis
ease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of
long Or short standing, you will surely
find relief by the use of Electric Bitters.
