Post G. of the Travellers Protec.
tive Association from Houston,
about seventy-five strong, in a gayly
decorated train passed here en-
route to Austin at Las o'clock p. m.
Thursday. As the train pulled up
at the union depot a brass band on
board struck up "Dixie," and the
knights of the grip" joined the
crowd at the depot in giving vent to
vociferous yells in token of their ap.
probation of this distinctively popu,
lar southern air, which, wherever
played and under whatever scircun,
stances throughout the south al
ways evokes wild applause.
The T. P. AS were joined here
by the Brennan contingency and
to-day the Association will hold
their business meeting in Austin,
after which they will go on an e1cur-
sion to Monterey, Mex, leaving
Austin at Z a. m. Sunday.
Their train was beautifully deco,
rated in bright bunting, evergreens.
flowers, etc, and a finer looking OF
jollIer body of men could scarcely
have been gotten together.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies, Deafness IS
caused by an indamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets IN.
famed you have o rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness Is the
result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused BY
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness Ccaus-
ed by catarrh) that we cannot cure

Efforts to Secure the Prize.

The COMMITTEE Meets and Report Furthe
Efforts to Secure the Prize.
There was pretty fair attendance
at the citizens meeting at the Boarc
of Trade rooms Friday morning tt
hear the report of the committee OF
the selection of grounds for the per
manent encampment of the STATE
militia.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. W. A. Wood and the minutes
of the last meeting read and ap
proved, with one slight change Of
two committeeman.
Mayor James A. Wilkins, E. g.
Langhammer and T. B. Bolts were
added to the committee on grounds.
The committee on grounds named
ten places adjacent to the city that
would make a suitable location for
the encampment, and when given
further time, were requested to get
an option on each of them.
Mr.. Haynes read a letter from
Adjutant- General Mabry, in which
he said there would be committee
of inspection sent out to select the
grounds offered by the different
places, and it was suggested at once,
and the idea unanimously adopted,
by the meeting that Brenham meet
that committee at Giddings with the
brass bands and military escort,
and that upon their arrival here
they be shown the grounds by a
military escort in full uniform ana a
banquet be rendered them upon
their return.
The committee on finance was
given further time, with the request
that they go ahead and get subscrip-
tons to the amount, of $4,000,
which, if more than enough to pur-
chase the grounds, the full amounts
of the subscriptions need not be
collected, only the pro rata of each,
sufficient to pay for the grounds Sc
lected.
As there whre some questions that
arose that could not be intelligently
answered, it was suggested that
Captain Byrnes be sent to Austin to
find out, and in five minutes from
the time the suggestion was made, it
being near train time, the money to
defray the expenses was hurriedly
contributed, and Captain Byrnes
was on his way, and will be back to
day Saturday with full information
on the subject of how we had best
proceed to secure the permanent en-
campment grounds and what will be
required in order for ms to succeed.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
4 o'clock Monday after noon.

A SECTION MISSING.
Important Error Found In the Illinois
BALLOT Reform BiIi.

SPRTSGFiELD, H., June 20-When
Gov. fifcr reached the bal;ot-rsform
bill Friday it was discovered that
either by clerical error or the loss Of
o sheet scctlon 2S had been omitted or
lost Pending a search for the missing
section the governor has postponed
signing the bill. This section is the one
which provides that no person shall APP
proach q voter within 100 feet of the
voting place, and provides a penalty
for such an c.rense. Ii cannot now he
told whether the fault lies with the en-
rolling and engroesing clerks or with
the clerk OF tho house.
On tho day the bill vas read second
time many amendments were offered,
and II may be that ono was adopted
striking out the section and the record
thereof nfterward lost. There is no
record to b. found, however. that
shows that the section was stricken
out or amended in any way. The
bill, minus the twenty-cighth Sec
ton, went through the hands Of u
conference committee without the alb
sencc of the section being discovered.
There Is a difference of opinion AZ to
whether the apparently accidental error
invalidatcs the rest of the bill or not,
but all who ere familiar with legislative
practice agree that there is now no
means of rectifying the error
