business was transacted in wheat today, and
the feeling was n little nervous with prices
ruling lower than yesterdays closing. Some

claimed that May wheat was settling up
more easily The opening was, therefore
Ne lower than yesterdays closing, adj

| Sc and closed about / 80 lower than ycster-
day. The early weakness was influenced by
rather free speculative offerings, helped some
| by the change in the tone of the Liverpool adj
vices, which quoted dull feeling and lower
prices. The subsequent advance TO outside
prices was influenced by rumor that the
market In Paris was excited aud statistical
situation growing stronger. There were also
some umors aloat to the effect that the par

the bull side had made financial arrange

There was very little interest manifested

Oats were less active and nuctuation were

A fairly active speculative trade was re-

"A FIRE IN AUSTIN.

A fire in northwestern part of the city
burned house belonging to Frank Hal

house at the time, as Mrs. Halverson had
been in Minneapolis for two or three
weeks and Mr.. Halverson went out Thurs
day to work for Mr.. Riley near Oakland.
He knew nothing of his loss until his re-
turn to the city Saturday evening and
can throw no light on the origing of the
fire. 1t seems to have been of incendi
ary origin The building was worth
about $500 and insured for $4OO.

UNIFORM TEXT SYSTEM.
What the Governor of California
Says About It.

Representative Martin, of Camp county
addressed letter to the governor of Cali
fornia, few days ago, making inquiries
in regard to the publication by the state
of uniform system of text books. He
propounded the following questions:
First-Is it success?
Seoond-Does it meet the appreciation
of the majority of the people?
ThIrd-Does it afford any considerable
source of economy to the masses of the
purchasers of free school text booksH
Fourth-Is there any truth in the as
sertion made by some that it has proven
costly experiment and an egregiouf
failure?
The following was received in answer
to the four questions propounded:

Vivid Writing.

A little descriptive piece entitled "Over
the Guns" from the Detroit Free Press,
of which we give paragraph, reminds us
that great advertisers, like II. Il. Warner
d Co., proprietors of Warmers celebrated
Safe Cure, might get hint from it.
Here Is the paragraph:
"Shoot to the right or left, over the
guns or under them. Strike where you
will, but strike to destroy. Now the hell
surges down, even to the windows of the
old farm house-now back under the APP
pie trees and beyond them. Dead men are
under the ponderous wheels of the gun,
mad devils are slashing and shooting
across the barrels. No one seems to know
friend from foe. Shoot, slash, kill and
"But the hell is dissolved. The smoke
is lifting, shreaks and screams grow
fainter, and twenty or thirty living men
pull the dead bodies away from the guns.
Three hundred dead and wounded on the
single acre. They tell of war and glory.
Look over this hell's acre and find the lat
ter" And in just as deadly a strife,
though noiseless, are men falling at our
right and left to-day. Is it war; Yes,
war of the blood. Blood loaded with
poison through imperfect kidney action.
And is there no power to stop this awful
slaughter? Yes, Warmers Safe Cure, u
tried specific, a panacea that has brought
life and hope to hundreds of thousands of
dying men and women.
Be enlisted, therefore, in the great army
of living men and women who have been
rescued from disease and premature
death, and be eternally grateful that the
means of life can SO easily be yours.

CITY AND COUNTY.
[FRoM THURSDAYS DAILY
A Hundred Tons of Money.

1t hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for 10 cent article
could, if pennies were used in payment,
weigh 100 tons. Yet one OF our bright
school boys has figured that this is true OF
Diamond Dyes. 70 judge from the stocks
of our dealers in dye stuffs Diamond
Dyes own the field of package dyes, and
are complete success. Of course they
have imitators. "Nothing is a success
until initiated" But no one wants to
risk a counterfeit when the genuine can
be obtained at the same price. Three new
colors have lately been added to the list
of Diamond Dyes: Fast stocking Black
Turkey Red for Cotton, and Brown
for Cotton. The manufacturers, Wells
Richardson d Co., Burlington, VT, will
send colOred samples of these new dyes,
with book of directions, to any address
free of charge. These additions seem ia
have made the line so complete that any
shade can be matched with some color OF
Diamond Dyes. The beautiful sample
book of shaded colors, lately sent to all
dealers in dyes, will delight the eye of any
lady. otis easy to dye with Diamond
Dyes" is 80 absolutely true that home
dyeing is no longer difficult and dis
agreeable task. Almanacs, with their
hints as to proper times for different
work, tells US that now is the time for
Spring dyeIng. This, together with the
thought of that hundred tons of money,
leads Us to ask what school boy can figure
how many thousands of ladies are now
saying that this is the time to use Dia-
mond Dyes.

Races for Texas Horses.

THE STATESMAN has several times men
toned the probable benefits to be derived
from display of the products of this
and the surrounding counties at the
Palace at Fort Worth, and it seems that in
addition to the Palace there will be other
things to interest the visitors. THF
STATESMAN is in receipt of a letter
from Mr.. Frank A. Ryan, secretary of the
Fort Worth Jockey club, saying that the
club will have grand running meeting
in com cotton with the Palace exposition.
The programme will be especially arranged
to suit. Texas horses and races will be
run from a quarter to mile and the
purses will be liberal, ard the entrance
will be free. These races will afford an
opportunity of showing what kind of
horses can be raised in Texas.

Declined with Thanks.

Yes, Oscar, it is true many of the ia
nous poets have suffered from dyspepsia
but it is en- error to infer that dyspePsis
is an infalible sign of genius. 1t is only
an evidence of an imperfect digestion and
a disordered liver. Your poem, entitled
"The First Dandelion of Spring." is merel )
one of the symptoms of bilious attack
The next time your system is out Of order
take Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Purgativt
Pellets. They will restore the liver to it
normal state, and promptly cleanse tht
system without any disagreesble after ef
fects. The "PelIets" are entirely harmless
which is more than can be said o.
your poe q, Oscar.

A Handsome Donation.

Mr.. Joseph Spence, of this city, has re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Charles E. Miller,
prominent attorney of Corpus Christi,
enclosing check for 500 from Col. E.
II. Ropes, who desires it donated to the
Confederate home. In conclusion, the
letter says:
Colonel Ropes served in the Eleventh
Regiment of New York veterans; was
wounded in front of Petersburg, and is at
present colonel of the Third Regiment of
New Jersey state troops.
lam heartily glad to convey to the old
Confederate veterans this additional evil
dence of the fraternal feeling treasured
for them by the ex-Union soldiers"
The check has been turned over to the
Home, and Colonel Ropes has the satsfac.
tion of knowing that there is no "bloody
chasm" between the people of the south
and such brave patriots as he is, but that
1t exists wholly in the minds of the po-
litical demagogues of the north. 1t was
graceful act on this part of Colonel
Ropes.

SheJ Wanted to Die,

Rosa Wilson, nymph du pave, was tired
of life, and, unlike Hamlet, she wanted to
fly to the ills she knew not of. She sent
to q drug store and purchased morphine
enough to make more angels than two
cam pmeeting seasons can ordinarily turn
out. Officer Gassawsy heard of the wo-
mans direful intention, and he arrested
her and put her in the calaboose. One
night spent in confinement was enough to
change the mind of the unfortunate wo-
man, and, when she was released yester-
day morning, she avowed that she pre-
ferred to live a while longer.

Arrested for Theft.

Detective John Uhenneville arrested 6
woman yesterday, on the charge of steal
ing $50 from the room of legislator
The readers of The STATESMAN will re
member that few days ago, Representa-,
tive W. L. Wood, of Ellis county, was
robbed of $50 in cash. He had carelessly
left the money with a railroad ticket OF
pass on his bed when he left the room
Upon his return the money was gone, but
the ticket was on the floor near the fire
place. The colored woman arrested, Bette
Johnson, was employed about the house
as a domestic. The prisoner was carried
before Justice Calhoun, and her bond fixec
at $500 for appearance this morning at II
O'Clock for an examining trial. She gave
the bond and was released.
