The Proof of the Pudding.

Have you humors, causing blOtches?
Does your blood run thick and sluggish?
Are you drowsy. dull and languid?
Is a bad taste in your mouth, and
Is your tongue all iurred and coated?
Is your sleep with bad dreams broken?
Do you feel downhearted, dismal
Dreading something, what you know noG
Then be very sure you're bilious
That you have n torpid liver,
And what you need is something to
rouse it and make it active enough to
throw off the impurities that clog it;
something to invigorate the debil-
itated system, and help all the organs
to perform the duties expected OF
them, promptly and theoretically.
That Something" is DIR. Pierce's

GONZALES, Texas, Aug. 24.-Yester-
day Sheriff Glora received dispatch
from Sinner, stating that j. q. Mills
had been robbed. Frank Fly, dep
uty sheriff, went down to Mills and
has returned and gives the following
facts: j. G. Mills, an old man and his
son Jesse G. Mills, were travelling
along a road in the extreme eastern
part of Gonzales county when they
met with Jake Turk and Alonzo
Taylor who commanded the
Millses to stand and deliver their
valuables. This the latter declined to
do, when Taylor shot Jesse Mills with
a Winchester, the ball entering and
passing through Mills thigh. Old
man Mills then gave up what money
he had, amounting to $500, and Turk
and Taylor fled and have not been
heard from since. Turk was born
and raised near the scene of the rob-
berry. Taylor had been in the neigh
borhood about one year and had until
recently worked for the Millses, and
has case in the county court. Last
week old man Mills was here helping
him out of his trouble. Jesse Mills
wound is not fatal.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 24.-The

Texas more unfavorably affected than
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass,
which has it's headquarters in this

600 miles of track, every
foot of which runs through
a cotton country, only partially de-
veloped. Owing to its thinly settled
territory it has been running at a
heavy loss, and is now in the hands
of receivers. The interest upon its
bonded Indebtedness is more than
5000 900. Last year it failed.by cor

BIG FIRE AT MOODY.

Burning of Many Buildings.

Special to The Statesman.
MOODY, Tex, Aug. 2l.-This morn
ing fire was discovered in the rear of
Blanton's furniture house and before
anything could be done had spread to
the wooden buildings on both sides,
and in less than thirty minutes nine
buildings in the block, including the
postoffice and three in next block
north, were mass of flames.
1t seems that the whole business,
as well as a portion of the residence
part of the town, was doomed, as
Moody has no fire engine and had to
fight the fire with buckets. 1t was
only by almost superhuman efforts
that the town was saved. The total
loss is ST., 600. Insurance Sc, 600. Fred
S. Closth, a rock mason, was arrested
and carried to the Waco Jail, charged
with setting the buildings on fire.

stein q Miller in this city
last Monday, which destroyed
property to the amount of $275,OOO.
Yeager presented his paper to mer-
chants of this city, who signed it,
agreeing to pay certain amounts in
case of conviction. The theory of the
Wacoites is that the fire was not in
cendiary, and they will not be con-
WINGED of the incendiary charge until
the conviction is made. Yeager says
he is sure of his man, and that he has
him under surveillance SO he cannot

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. PA letter
received from Chihuahua, capital Of
the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, gives
fearful picture of the restitution OF
the peasantry. For twelve months,
not a drop of rain has fallen.
Land formerly covered with waving
grass is for miles and miles as bare
as billiard table. Cattle have
died by thousands and their
bones dot every hillside and valley.
The streams have gone dry and no
water can be obtained for irrigation.
There has been total failure of crops,
not enough corn being raised for next
years seed. The small farmers and
ranch hands are starving. To relieve
to some extent the necessities of the
people the governor Of Chihuahua has
obtained permission from the national
authorities to import, free of duty,
sixty thousand bushels of American
corn and sixty thousand bushels of
wheat. Upon both those grains there
is q heavy duty. Despite these inn
portations the coming winter will be
a hard one and many of the people
will die

DARING TRAIN WRECKERS
THEIR ATTEMPT TO THROW THE TRAIN
OFF A BRIDGE PROVES FRUITLEss
The Brave Engineer Sticks to His Post Re-
verses His Engine, and Saves the
Lives of his Passengers--T
Miserable Wretches Caught.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. PA dar-
ing attempt was made to wreck a
train on the Illinois Central railroad
yesterday, an awful disaster being
narrowly averted. About seven miles
north of Holly Springs carpenters are
repairing bridge. AS the north
bound train came in sight of the bridge
the engineer noticed that one rail
to be unduly elevated. He quickly
applied the air brakes and reversed
his engine. AS the engine went on
the bridge it was discovered that
piece of iron, known as stirrup
among bridgemen, has been recently
fastened to the rail and would have
thrown any train from the track.
Luckily only the front trucks of the
engine left the rails. Word was sent
at once along the road and soon after
a posse, with w. s. Brown, of Holly
Springs at the head, went in pursuit
of the perpetrators Of the deed.
In the excitement of the narrow es-
cape from being thrown with his train
rom the bridge into the water below
the engineer noticed two negroes
sneaking away through the bushes
Suspicion was directed towards thGm
The posse heard of the negroes being
seen in the vicinity and al
accurate description was secur
ed of both. After q chase
of several hours, Brewer caught the
two negroes. They gave their names
as VIII Frost and Will Mcdowell
They were separated by the posse and
each said enough to implicate the
other, They were then confronted
and their captor told each what the
other had said. They then confessed
to having done the deed. Frost said
Mcdowell had large axe which
he intended to use for breaking uT
the coaches in case Of % wreck. The
negroes were taken to Holly Springs
and Jailed. Both men have the repu.
tation of being hard characters and il
is thought that they intended to
wreck the train for the purpose Of
robbery.

the Way Through!
To the Editor of The Statesman.
LAMPAsAs, Tex, Aug. 24.-m your
issue of the ODD you call upon the cit
liens Of Austin to assist in extending
the Austin and northwestern railway
to Llano. In view of the policy of the
railway commission to establish mile
age rates, think your idea Of m eN-
tension of the road to Llano should in
clude Lampasas. Let's figure little.
From Fairview to Llano is thirty
one miles, and the Colorado river and
Llano river both are to bridge to reach
the iron district of Llano countys
From Burnett to Lampasas by a SUI =
vey made some years ago by the
Austin and Northwestern railway is
twenty-nine miles, and from a point
on this line Il route can be found to
Llano not to exceed twenty-seven
miles, so that tifty-siX miles of road
with only one bridge (the Colorado)
would connect Austin with both Lam
pasas and Llano. Now, under the
commission plan of regulating freights
if the Austin and Northwestern
would tap the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe at this point it would get all
freight for Austin transferred at this
point, and certainly all the passenger
traffic from the West, which would be
considerable item.
Lampasas will do her part, and
about ten miles of the road is already
graded, with a large number Of cedar
ties. Why not Austin and Lampasas
join hands and both get a road that
will benefit all? Yours truly,
LAMPASAS.
