The jackson Trial.

In the District court Monday the
case of the State vs.. E. L. Jackson
was commenced, and concluded
Tuesday afternoon.
Jackson was recently convicted of
incest and sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary, this latter charge
being for the alleged murder of his
own child, which was born to Miss
Jackson, his niece at the Penning-
ton hotel in this city more than
year ago, and which was sent back
here to be cared for by an old negro
woman after their departure, dying
while in her charge.
He was prosecuted by District
Attorney B. Bryan and County At
torney B. S. Rogers, Judge L. Kirk
appearing for the defense. The
case went to the jury just after noon
Tuesday, which after being out a
short time, brought in verdict OF
acquittsl.

The County Jail and Noah,s Arc.

Everybody remembers the sacred
history of the arc and how, when
the waters were subsiding, a dove
was sent out, returning first with an
olive leaf in her mouth, and going
forth the second time, found rest
for the soul of her foot and re-
turned no more, showing the waters
of the flood had subsidized.
Bruce Lewis, who has been laying
out fine in the county jail for car
rying pistol, for a time which ap
proxlmated in his mind that occu-
pied by the flood, was released
Wednesday, and like the dove he
went out returning with a leaf to as
sure his fellow prisoners that he
had once again found land, leaving
for the second time to return no
more, the good resolution which it is
to be hoped he may keep.

Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in the winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at this sea-
son. The system, therefore, requires OPEN
ing up little, and also purifying and regu-
lating, and the safest, surest and most thor
ough tonic and Alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies,
the painful disturbances of the bowels, the
bilious attacks, and the nervous visitations,
so common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vesetable stomachic and invigorant.
It improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the spirits and renovates the
whole physique.

Death Of Mrs. rhekla Harrison.

At her home in this city at 1870
o'clock Monday morning, the cur
tain on the stage of the life of Mrs.
Thekla Harrison fell, the door of
that undiscovered land swung out
ward and her spirit left its tenement
of clay and entered into Immortality.
Mrs. Harrison was ffty-six years
and five days old, and leaves large
circle of friends, and relatives be-
sides ten children to mourn her
loss.
Her death resulted from pneumo-
MIA with which she has been suffer-
ing for several days, and was conse-
quently without premonition though
the blow must be none the less sad
to her bereaved children, whose
eyes, while we write are dimmed
with tears and hearts almost sinking
under their burden of grief. The
reporter did not know Mrs. Har-
rison, but her children are our
friends, and to them our sypathy is
extended, as we seek to pay a
simple tribute to their mother. We
have passed through the same Or
deal that they are now undergoing,
and know what a priceless jewel is
the love of a mother, and know how
hard it is to see it transferred from
the mind of time to the coronet of
eternity. That she was a model
mother is abundantlY evidenced by
the progeny she left behind, whom
she watched with tender solicitude
from the dawning moments of in
fancy to the noontide of man and
womanhood, guiding them in the
paths of duty and counseling them in
wisdom rearing them to an be honor
to her and universally esteemed in
the social and business circles of the
city.
A mothers smiles called into exer-
else the first affections that spring
into our heart. A mothers love fol
lows us into the world of men, and |
lives in US and blesses US when she
lives not otherwise upon earth. It is
what constitutes the center of every
home, whether our thoughts turn
when our feet are weary with wan
dering and our hearts sink with dis
If there be a tribunal |
where the follies of youth may hope
for pardon and forgiveness this side
of Heaven, that tribunal is the heart
of fond and devoted mother, and
to see the golden bowl of life broken
by the sunny fountainside of time,
is enough to make the heart of the
bereaved sink under the burden of
grief. Our sympathy is extended.
We grieve with you.

CONSIDERABLY excitement was
created for few minutes Monday af-
ternoon by the appearance o.. two or
three cowboys driving couple of
wild bulls through the streets. The
vicious beasts were roped, but on the
fight, and after a considerable chase
up and down prominent thorough
fares endangering the lives of several
pedestrians who narrowly escaped
being running over and considerably
frightening some ladies who were
out driving, one of the animals got
loose and Fritz Weiss in trying to
pick up the lasso was unable to get
his horse out of the way, the bull
turning on him and goring the horse
to death. There were several narrow
escapes from serious accidents, but
there is no ordinance against bring
ing a wild bull or any other wild and
vicious animal on the streets.

has received favorable letters about
transportation from the following
roads: Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe.;

cifc; Houston and Texas Central:
Fort Worth and Rio Grande and
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass, all
of which letters have been for

Darden, who writes to Mr.. Heber
Stone in response as follows:
AUSTIN, Tex, April ID, 1891.
Mr.. HEBER STONE, BRENNAN, Tex.
DEAR SIR Il am in receipt of
yours of 11th inst, with enclosed.
Many thanks 10 you and to your
good citizens of Brennan for the in
terest taken in our reunion. I
have had as much publicity given as
practicable and trust that we may
have good gathering on the 21st.
The departure made by the Central
railroad, I fear, will make disap-
pointment with some. Many of our
members pay but little attention to
the reading of newspapers and
may not understand, or will not take
the trouble to write for passes. 1
hope however, with the plain and
well understood manner proposed
by the Santa Fe that there will, but
few, if any, be disappointed. Again,
thanking you and those whom you
L am yours truly,
S. Il. DARDEN, Sec'y.
All the veterans desiring informa-
ton concerning the reunion are re-
quested to write the secretary, es-
pecially in reference to transporta-
ton.

Mr.. L. 6. Gee, for the purpose of fur
nishing the street sprinkler, being
filed by pump run by windmill,
while full of water, collapsed,
tumbled from its pedestal the frame
work and tank being a total wreck.
The rain wetting the soft earth per-
haps caused the frame work to settle
on one side careening the tank until
its great weight, $4,000 pounds,
came tumbling over with q crash
that was heard all over the city.
