Gentlemen During the early
part of the past Spring (1S8S), my
body was covered with boils. At
one time more than fifty were
counted on my body and limbs.
My face was not exempt from the
painful trouble. The usual rene
dies would do me no good. Just
why 1 began taking S.S.S. L do
not know, but almost Immediately
1 began to improve. l took nearly
three bottles, and found myself en-
tirely well. 1t was your medicine
which effected the cure, when
everything else had failed.
Yours truly,

Railroad News.

Mr.. B. F. House, civil engineer,
who surveyed the route from Com
fort to Llano, for the proposed ex-
tension of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railroad, left here on
the 3lst of January, accompanied
by Mr.. Knight Stith, to look over
a different route than the one sur
veyed last summer, to see if an
easier and cheaper one could not
be found. They were eminently
successful. The grade on the en-
tire line from Llano to Fredericks-
burg, will not exceed one and a
half per cent, while the expense
viii be materially reduced. This
route is by way of East creek, near
where it empsies into the Sandy,
thence down the Sandy through
what is known as 'The Gaps" or
deep canyons through Cedar noun
tain, and out into the level country
near the mouth Of Cole creek. The
only drawback to this route is,
that the Sandy viii have to be
crossed three times, but as trestle
work will answer every purpose, it
is not serious. If Mr.. House is
not greatly mistaken, sufficient
money has been subscribed to do
the grading, and in a short time
contracts for the work will be let,
and the long agony be overland

On Wednesday of this week, a
special train bearing the principal
officials of the G. G. & S. F., and
representatives of six thousand
stock holders of twenty shares
each, went up the road to Balm
ger. A year ago TIE survey was
made from that point to Albuque-
que, New Mexico. The ostensible
of this trip is the extension of the
road on to New Mexico. This will
be an air line = straight as the
bird flies from that point to Lam

be immense; passengers will want
close and short connection for
Austin and San Antonio. Lam

We learn through Mr.. Ferguson,
the mail carrier from Fredericks-
burg, that Mrs. Moursund, who
was SO badly burned some two
months ago, is improving quite
rapidly She can walk about the
house some now. She has had
such good attention that there is
hardly any sign of the burn left.
From looking at her hands you
could not tell that she had ever
been burned. The many friends
here of Mrs. Moursund will be re-
joiced to know of her entire recov-
cry, and to know that she will es-
cape without being disfgured.

Every farm needs a shop where
work in wood, leather, iron and
other materials, could be done on
rainy days. The old-fashioned
farmer, who made shoes for his
boys, plow-stocks and hoe-handles
for them to work with, plow-gear
and scores of other articles, and
who could repair anything on the
place from a wagon or a windmill
to a gate-latch or mouse trap,
seems to have disappeared from
the land. But he was great in his
day and generation. Such a va
riety of work develops mechanical
skill and is splendid training for
the boys, and the old shop should
be revived. To the old-fashioned
man-God bless his memory-the
rainy day had 10 terrors. 1t was
a time when he could follow his
fancies IN making such articles as
would be useful or ornamental, I'M
disturbed by the pressure of out
side duties. Many comfort might
be secured to the home, many
dollar saved, and many rainy day
made one of peace and usefulness,
by restoring to the farm the old
fashioned shop and its belongings.

The great copper corner isn't
doing well, that is for the corner
ers. Nearly all the great copper
mines of the world we're induced
to cooperate, selling their output
to the syndicate at a price consider
ably higher than the market rate,
and sharing in the profits obtained
by fixing the price to consumers
nearly twice as high as it had been
under the unrestricted operation
of the law of supply and demand.
Having a monopoly of the worlds
supply, the syndicate could make
its own terms and gain enormous
profits, but the consumption fell off
and the syndicate accumulated i'm
mense stocks, for which it could
find no market. Now it is report
ed that the syndicate has refused
to buy more copper, the market is
demoralized and the great monopo-
ly is breaking up.

Senator Stephens has introduced
very important bill in the senate.
1t provides that the judge shall de-
liver his charge in each case, civil
and criminal, before the argument
by counsel. This aids the attorney
by defining for him the law upon
which he must base his argument.
As it is at present, the charge is
given after the argument by coun-
sci, and he is often plunging ahead
.inthe dark, making an argument
based upon what he thinks is the
law in the case, when the instruc-
tons of the court negatives every
argument he makes. 1t is claimed
that the change will require more
time, as now the judge prepares
his charge while the attorney is
making his argument to the jury;
but if the best interest of litigants
can be subserved by it, the ques-
ton of the time ought not to enter
into the policy of the change.

Kind Words.

Many persons speak to children
habitually in a rough way, without
realizing that they would not use
the same tone in addressing any
others over whom they had au-
thority. A lady who was on a visit
to family, was in the nursery
when a little girl was preparing
for bed.
Addressing her in a lively, cheer
full tone, she said, 'Now let me see
how quickly you will hop out of
your dress into your night gown, !"
or something like that.
The child turned to her usual
caretakers and said, "Why don't
you speak that way instead of
Come now, get your clothes off. ; P"
They are not seldom provoked
into Ill humor, and then punished.
Kind words do not cost much.
Though they do not cost much, yet
they accomplish much.
l. They help ones own good
nature and goodwill. Soft words
soften our own soul. Angry words
are fuel to the flame of wrath, and
make it blaze the more fercely.
q Kind words make other peo-
pie good-natured. Col dwords freeze
people, and hot words scorch them,
and sarcastic words r.ritate them,
and bitter words make them bitter,
and wrathful words make them
wrathful.

NEWS SUMMARY.
WILLIAM WANTS PEACE.
HIS Address, However, Teens With
Warlike Suggestions.

The rechstag opened To day. Herr Won
Boetticher read the emperor's speech from
the throne. The address says: The active
attention of the present reichstag has been
especially directed TO the securing of peace
abroad and ,St home, and the tasks of the
forthcoming session will be in the same di
rectlon. When the reicbstag met in 1887,
the foremost OBJ Get was the consolidation
OF the defen slve powers OF the fatherland.
Your co operation TO this end will again be
claimed. In order 10 deyeope the efficiency
or the army, its readiness Tor action In NC
cordance with whatever circums stances
may arrive, will thereby impart To the
efforts OF tho emperor and his exalted
allies for the preservation of peace the
weight which is their due in the council of
nations.
A bill will be presented by the govern
ment amending the military law. 1t will
provide for a fresh distribution of the
army, and is intended TO readiust, in the
interest Of the training and conduct of the
army, the inequalities OF organization
which have arsed trough strengthening
the army and the disp acement OF troops
from time TO me. From this cause, and
the corresponding expansion OF the naval
power arises the additional expenditure
set forth in the budget.
In e ST Africa, tn INKS to the approval
OF the reichstag, thorough measures for the
suppression OF the slave trade and the pro-
lection Of German interests have been TAX
en- The forces organized have, cOnJointly
with the navy, so far accomplished their
tasks, rendering it again possible, after
agreement with the other participating
powers, TO raise the blockade. The sultan
OF ZANZIBAR, moreover, has issued compro-
hensiyo DEGREES promising to insure the
abolition of 81 very.
The hopes expressed by the emperor TO
the reichstag on November 22, 1888, that
with God help the peace of Europe would
be sustained, have not only been realized,
but have gained strength as regards the
future owing 10 the personal relations
which the emperor h s since cultivated
with the rulers of friendly allies, thereby
helping TO strengthen the confidence felt
abroad in the honest love of peace animal
ing Germ nys policy and justifying he
belief that European peace, based on the
existing treaties, God helping, will be
maintained during 1850.
The budget presented TO the reichstag
increases the army charges l46,OOOOOO
marKs including Il 1000, 900 marks for the
artillery. The naval estimates are increas.
ed 80, 10000 marks.

The Indian Wins.

Years ago, when the Jackson iron COM
pany was locating certain mine property
near Flat Lake, it employed an Indian
named Tobagman to assist them, and gave
him twelve shares Of uuassessable stock in
in the company. After he died this stock
was found in his house, and his daughter,
Charlotte, tried to get the company to pay
it's value, but the claim was resisted en- the
ground that she was his daughter by an
Indian marriage, which, under the law, is
no IN lrriage at all.
The supreme court holds that under the
tribal relations the Indians were then
maintaining the marriage was recognized
by them, and is therefore to be treated as
just as good as anybody's marriage. So
Charlotte wins her case.
