a coos HuNr IN THE C1TY.

! Master Walter Lockett, until
Thursday morning was the owner OF
a pet coon which he thought a great
deal of, and which had lot of cute
ways amusing to the children of the
neighborhood. His coonship, how
ever, outgrew the children and in
the eighteen months which he has
been petted had got to be full
grown, and getting tired of his
youthful master bit him Wednesday
evening quite seriously and knowing
that he had done a wrong which
would entail punishment he abandon
ed his young master, and commenc-
ed roaming around promiscuously.
He called at Capt Byrnes residence
Wednesday night and frightened
the ladies there by his bold antics in
the sitting room, where he washed
his face in bowl on the washstand
and very generously helped himself
to the face powder. The neighbor-
hood was alarmed, some dogs turn
ed loose on his trail, and crowd
turned out to see the fun when the
dogs caught him. They caught him.
And every dog that did is sorry of
it. His coonship whipped all the
dogs they could start and took a
tree from which they could not get
him down, and the crowd after hav-
ing considerable sport seeing the
dogs get whipped abandoned the
chase. Thursday morning Police
man John Lockett found the coon
in the sewer, under the Santa Fe
railroad track in the western part of
the city, and killed it by shooting it
five times with target rifle.

The Encampment.
Il. hIRE,
Chairman

The committee which is to inspect
the places selected for the perma,
nent encampment will be here some
time this week and no effort should
be spared to impress them with
Brenham's advantages. The COM
mittee which was at Austin did good
work, and Brennan is recognized as
one of the leaders of the twelve
competitors for the encampment.
This good work should be followed
on the arrival of the committee here
by more. Our people will be APP
prised of their coming and prepare
tons have been made to give
them a grand reception, so when
they leave here it will be too
great a task for any ether place to
erase from their memory the i'm
preston made upon them while in
specting the location here. Bren-
ham is ''in it, )" and must stay.

Through the weary Hours

Of many night, made doubly long by its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer toss
es to and fro on his sleepless couch, vainIy
praying for the rest which only comes by
fits and starts. His malady is one which or
binary medicines too often fail to relieve.
But there is abundant evidence to prove
that the efficient blood depurent, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic
reliable means OF relief Check the nalady
in its incipient stages, when the first premon-
tory symptoms come on, with this sgreea-
Bile medicine and avoid years OF torture.
Whatever be the rationale of the active in
fuence OF the Bitters upon this malay, Ger.
tain it is that no evidence relating to its
effect is more certain and positive than that
which relates TO its action in cases of rheum-
atism. Like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves protracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally effcacious in
dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred diseases.
