to over-stimulate the damage these
drugs do in such cases. Bromides,
valerinates, choral, opium in every
form, caffeine, cocaine and many 9TH
ers are all alike of great injury and of
no possible good. To get all these
and many other similar remedies away
from the patient, and Pe-ru-ni-a IN
their stead, is the first thing to be ac-
complished.
Before the patient has taken Pc
ru-na, to the exclusion of everything
else, six months, there is marked
change in all the symptoms. The
appetite becomes regular, sleep natu-
raj and every disagreeable symptom
improved. Ofcourse tits usually year
or more before permanentcureis real
lied, but it is only a question of time;
Pe-runa will not fail to cure a single
uncomplicated case. Pe-ru-na is
perfect specific for these cases, and is.
absolute invincible. There are no fail
ures where these directions are faith
fully followed. The improvement is
prompt, and the patient can rest
assured that a perfect cure will follow
a persistent use of it.
Pe-ru-na contains no phosphorus,
strychine or quinine to temporarily
exalt the nervous system, but acts
permanently by restoring the normal
functions. 1t contains no mar
cotic or sedadative and does
not derange the action of any bodily
function during its size. l have

positive promises of results in adj

according to the above directions, ex-
cept only in cases where softening of
the brain or spinal cord had COM
menced before the use of Pe-ru-na.

Lady,s Chances of Marrying.

Every lady has chance of catching a

ladies between twenty and twenty-five
years of age are more likely to draw the
matrimonial prizes. However it is not an
unusual thing to hear of the marriage of a
lady who has passed the three-quarter CEN
fury mark. Yet, how can woman, weak,
dispirited, enervated and tormented by
diseases common to her sex, hope to be-
come a happy wife and mother? OF course
she cannot, yet by the magic aid of DR..

obstacles are swept away. AS a powerful,

AN AVALANCHE OF BALLOTS.
The Whole City Transported Over the

pant in the City Last
Night
Yesterday was election day.


1t was practically unanimous day
1t will ever be memorable in the
\ annals of Austin, because it marks 8
new era in the history of Austin.
The people yesterday determined to
issue 81 100000 in bonds for the pur.
pose of constructing dam across the
Colorado.
The election was one of the most
quiet and orderly ever held in the
city.
IA There was no excitement, no cleo
Ikioneering, no nothing, but a settled
Burpose to vote for the dam and
IA kheel the capital city into line with
e thriving, progressive cities OF the
Above you will see the result of the
days balloting, and never before in all
the history of elections in this country
was there such a result.
The opposition was overwhelmed.
Days and days ago it was appar-
ant they were on sleeveless errand,
but their collapse yesterday astonish-
ed very large majority of the people
of this city.
The practical unanimity of the
vote will render any further opposition
futile. The people have made known
their wish in the matter and woe to
that man or that private interest
which attempts to set aside the YER
dict of yesterday as expressed at the
polls.
y THE VoIlNG'
Promptly at 8 o'clock the polls in
all the wards were opened for the
voting. The new Australian election
system was to be tried for the first
time. That it worked to charm, who
that watched it can doubt.
There was a perfect exemption from
all such scenes as generally are wit
messed at the polling places.
There was no button-holing, no
earnest solicitation, no officious super
visors. as the voter made out his bal

Election Judge.
If the voter successfully passed
through this test he was next sent to
another Judge who handed him bal
lot on which was printed his choice
both for and against the proposed
bonding of the city. With this bal
lot in hand the voter then entered a
private apartment designed for him
and there scratched out the express
sion opposed to his preference.
This ballot was then handed a third
judge who deposited it in its box and
the voters duty was done. Through
out the day the voting passed off in
the most methodical, quiet and bust
ness like manner.
The vote was very full, as the result
shows, and the victory for the dam was
superb.
In this connection mention must
be made of the executive committee
appointed by the citizens to take
charge of the dam campaign. That
committee was composed of the fol-
lowing representative citizens:
Frank Hamilton, chairman.
Frank Maddox,
E. T. Moore,
r. M. Thomson,
John Orr,
w. HI. Tobin,
E. Saunders,
A. L. Teagarden.
The committee are unanimous in
the verdict that never was there such a
chairman as Mr.. Frank Hamilton,
never such a general to lead in such
glorious cause. The committee as a
whole and as individual members, from
the hour of their appointment until
victory perched upon their banner,
were Jealous, untiring, indefatigable in
their work, and the city owes them
debt of gratitude see can never repay.
LAST NIGHTS UTILIZATION.
1t was hurrah, and huzza, and toll
de-roll-loll last night when the result
of the vote was made known.
The band played and rockets were
sent high up toward the heavens.
Great crackers were fired and Roman
candles and colored lights illuminated
the whole city. Hundreds of people,
among whom there were scores of
ladies, thronged the streets and all
were in high feather, and rejoiced with
exceeding great joy.
The enthusiasm was great, and
there was heartiness and earnestness
in the jubilation rarely Witnessed.
The outpouring was fervid and there
was throbbing and humping and
overlooking of good feeling that was
infectious and set the great crowd
wild.
The wires flashed the glad
tidings, over the continent and
this morning in the great, busy,
busting, roaring cities; in the live,
progressive towns, and in the sleepy
villages, all over the land the news
will be read and commented on.
During the progress of the election
yesterday kilograms from Northern
cities were received here asking how
the election was going. This
morning they will know, and the
great manufacturing centers as the
news is read will feel that in the near
future the capital of the Lone Star
