A Recipe That May Be Useful to Some
, of Our Readers.
Taylor, Tex, March 2.-(Special.)-
Mayor Daniel Moody is in receipt of
the following communication from a
lady in San Antonio, which in the hope
of aiding some who are afflicted with
the loathsome disease (smallpox), your
correspondent is permitted to copy:
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 20, 1895.
To His Honor, the Mayor of Taylor:
Seeing in the Sunday Express that
smallpox existed in your city, write to
tell you of the remedy we used during
the great epidemic here four vars ago.
My sister was afflicted with smallpox
and we called in physician and treated
her according to his directions. Becom-
ing dissatisfied with his treatment, we
discarded it and when my mother became
affected with the disease we treated her
with the following remedy, which is a
sure cure for smallpox and scarlet fever
as well: '.4 ..,ra
Two grs. of powdered digitalis.
2 grs. of sulphate of zinc.

cine is used. ..s

or some similar diet, as the stomach is
weak and sore, and use no stimulants.

machinist and skilled engineer and for
the past four years has been second en-
gineer of the City Water company's plant.
Previous to going into the service of the
company he was for three years in the
shops of the Austin and Northwestern
railroad in this city, where he gave en-
tire satisfaction, His services, too, have
been very satisfactory to the old water
company.
He came to Austin ten years ago from
Indiana, where for three years LIE work
ed in the shops of the II. II. & 1. rail-
road at Terre Haute. In short, Mr..
Maddox has selected first class man to
fill an important position and he is to be

REGATTA NOTES.

Mr.. J. A. Alexander, proprietor of the
Driskill, has kindly rendered the use OF
the parior of tn hotel for the purpose of
a citizens meeting on Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock to make immediate and
final arrangements for the regatta.
We will have no drill this summer and
we must have the regatta, so large num-
Der of representative citizens is expected
to be on hand. The leading oarsmen OF
this country are making preparations
to go to England and prompt action now
Let us have frst-class regattas as we have
had the past two years. else let it go by
the board. Austin can't retrograde now

Our orders are TO go ahead, and ahead We

THE WATER PRESSURE.

Some of the firemen and insurance men,
now that the pumps are about to be start
ed, are little anxious about what pres
mains in case of fire. A Statesman re-
porter last night brought up the subject
while talking to a gentleman who is
posted, and he stated that the pumps
would maintain at all times and under
all circumstances all the pressure requir-
ed. He said that they would maintain
five streams and send water to the top
and over the largest buildings in the city,
and hence there need be no uneasiness
on the subject of pressure. There will
be plenty of it and lots to spare In this
connection it may be possible to have
everything in shape some time next
week for testing the pumps and mains.
Due notice will be given.

THE REGATTA.
Enthusiasts Have Called a Meeting For
Wednesday Afternoon.

Enthusiasts Have Called a Meeting For
Wednesday Afternoon.
Wednesday afternoon there will be n
meeting of representative business men at
the Driskill house to decide the question
of Austin holding an international meet
of oarsmen. The question of the import
ance and interest which such an event
will create throughout the country and
the local benefits to be derived from Il re-
gatta has previously been intelligently eX-
planned through these columns, but i'll de-
Gliding this matter there is one point that
must not be overlooked, and that is with
out the regatta the various lines of bus
mess will have nothing to give trade and
traffic a stimulus at a time when it is
most sorely needed, as the state encamp-
ment, a great factor in Austin's annual
business. is for this year thing of the
past. Without the regatta to offset this
loss the business men have an undoubted-
ly long stretch of stagnation in trade cir
cles before them, whereas this event will
as in the past two years give Austin nice
business boom at a season when it is
most needed, something that other cities
pay ten times as much to enjoy.
We must redouble our efforts for a re-
gatta and surpass, if possible, the success
attendant upon the TWO former events
We have unfortunately been deprived OF
the drill and we certainly can not afford
to leave the regatta pass us by also
Houston is out with a bonafide bid for the
attraction, as they readily see the import
ance of it and the prominence this honest
and manly sport has gained in the past
two years, and are not slow to note the
advertising and unlimited benefits to, be
brought about through such an event
However, our own business men are as
quick to take advantage of anything that
will further the interests of our fair city
as any class of men in the world and the
Statesman feels safe in making the as
sertion that the meeting referred to above
will be an enthusiastic one, that every
citizen will appreciate what this mean'
for our future welfare and be in attend
ance, that they will lend their hearty sup
port and good will in this important NOV
and flash to the anxious world the date
of our third annual regatta which is 81
closely in touch with the interests w
have centered in Austin's pride-the dan
and power plant. We must have the re
| gatta. .f t.rrI o. .1if.# ..

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

Attorney Hogg was yesterday showing
Mr.. J. Whitney Beall around the city
and through legislative halls. Mr. Beall
is from Boston, Mass, and is accompa-
MED by several gentlemen from that city,
who are capitalists of worldwide fame.
They are in Austin on business, both of
Il private and public nature. The gen
tlemen do not care to have their business
aired through the daily press, but it is
generally understood that they are here
looking into the business of the Link"
railroad and are also doing little pros
pecting with view to casting at least a
part of their fortune in Austin. Attorney
Hogg is chaperonng them and that is
assurance enough that the gentlemen will
be well cared for.

A NEW THEATER AND A NATA-
TORIUM

One who has no interest in either
piece of property yesterday made sug-
gestion that The Statesman thinks is
excellent 1t is this: Convert the pres
ent Millett's opera house into nata-
forum. 1t is centrally located and would
do most admirably for that purpose. Then
reconstruct the Hancock building on
Sixth street next to the postoffice and
make of it a superb theater, as it is capa-
BILE of being made. The building would
be especially adapted for the purpose,
and The Statesman gives currency to the
suggestion that is a good one.

elderly persons and the delicate and

OCCUPATION TAX.

A Warning to All Who Have Not Paid
Them.
Persons who have not paid their occu-
patton taxes have been reported to the
county attorney and if taxes are not
paid within the next few days the delin-
quents will be turned over to the tender
mercies of the grand jury. This is impera-
tive and all concerned should make note
of the fact and promptly settle with Col
lector Thrasher. TO do so will prevent
worry and some cost. The officers, under
the law, must collect the taxes.

be noted that the amount recommended

making a necessary appropriation of
about S2,550,000 for the ensuing year. 1t
may be argued, however, that the above
amounts for sheriffs, clerks, attorneys
and attached witnesses are excessive, in
view of the fact that the pending fee bills,
which may reduce said expenses, may
pass, but it is not believed a satisfactory
bill will be agreed upon at this session, and
even then, should it pass, it is only an ex-
pertinent and may not prove much re-
duction after all.
On the other hand, it is not believed that
the senate will ever agree and submit
to some Of the reductions made by the
house committee; in the first place, they
do not favor such a sweeping reduction
in salaries of the department clerks, be
Iieving that the public service therein will
be very materially cripp d. They argue
that it is hard enough on the poor clerks
to be compelled to discount their war
rants from to 10 per cent, let alone
a still-larger reduction in their, salaries
