FAT FEE cRAnDERs IN DANGER.
An Attack TO He Made on thc sys-
tcm Al AInnR tic LIne.

TEN An Along thc Line.
Austin. Texas, Jan. 1.-THE fat fec
grabbors In the pupulous and wealthy
counties OF Texas should grid up their
loins, buckle on their armor and hasten
10 the state capital. They can easily
scent danger from afar. that is II their
smiling tubes are in good condition
The Philistlnes are here and they are
warlike. Governor Hlgg, In his fare
VOL message, gave the county officer
trusts IL severe raklng over the Goals
and directed attention to the aims and
objects from his standpoint Of these
associations In n most menacing and
threatening manner Hon. Byron Drew
OF Kaufman county Is the editor OF the
Kaufman sun when at home, and a rec
former and a statesman here at pres
ent. He Is Hogg man from the
shoulder, and has prepared n bill that
will cause the man with fat office to
languish aud thr0b with emotion. MIR.
Drew says:
My bill provides that sheriffs. county
clerks and all other county officers shall
draw stated salaries, and all fees in
excess OF the salaries fixed By law shall
be turned into the county treasury and
upportioned to the different funds.
Why should a county officer draw from
$1,000 tn 81, 900 per year from the pockets
of the tax payers The deputies shall
be employed by the county commission
ers aud shall receive for their services
not more than $15 per mouth, The
governor or Texas Is paid $4,000 Al year
and retlres poor man. In many
counties servants OF the people draw
twice that sum yearly. The fee system
IS an outrage and must be done away
with. / shall introduce another bill
relative TO poll tax, and making 1t
necessary for a citizen to produce his
poll tax receipt before the Judges Of
election shall he permitted to receive
his ballot In 1899 in this state $4,000
persons voted who paid no taxes what
ever and today there is SlS0,000 due the
state In the shape OF delinquent poll
taxes. This Is rank lnlusticc and
should not be permitted, A third bill
shall prepare will be Of interest TO the
sheriffs and other peace officers. AT
present If n prisoner. after conviction,
escapes to another county and is re-
captured II is necessary for the sheriff
from whom he has escaped to pay all
expenses necessary to secure the re-
turn of the criminal. / want the law
amended so that the costs shall be
taxed against the offender. He can
work out the game ON the county farm
or public roads, and the officer can sc-
cure his expense money from the
county"
Representative Drew also stated that
he anticipated powerful opposition to
his bill to do away with the fee system
from the most thoroughly organized
lobby that has ever assembled in this
city. There are $50 counties In the
state. and at least 100 OF these counties
will send representatives here TO fight
against change. The solid Popuisi
vote VIII be thrown in favor OF the
Drew or similar bill, and 1t is GER
tain to receive the support Of large
number of Democrats,

The condemnlng of alum as an un-

HOW MADE $1,000

By not sowing Salzer's seeds! That is
what a jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had /
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. 1t is fact that ii you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must sow Salzer's seeds.
IF you WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND II
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer
Seed company, La Crosse, Wis, you will
get free sample of GRASS AND CLovEH
MIXTURE and their plant and seed

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
Sympathetic Heart Disease Otter
Attends It
The Modern Treatment Consists In Re-
moving the Cause.

(From TIRE Republican, Cedar Rapids, Iotca.)
Mrs v. Curley, who has resided in Clar
ence, Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con.
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows:
"For ten years prior to 1894 was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
had all the manifold symptoms Of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complications did not know
what it was to enjoy meal. No matter
how careful might be as to the quality,
quantity and preparation Of my food, dis
tress always followed eating. l was de-
spcndent and blue. Almost to the point of
insanity at times, and would have been glad
to die. Often and often ] could not sleep.
Sympathetic heart trouble set in, and time
and again was obliged to call doctor in
the night to relieve sudden attacks of suffo-
cation which would come on without
moments warning.
NY troubles increased as time wore on,
and spent large sums n doctor bills.
being compelled to have medical attendants
almost constantly. During 1892 and 1898 it
was impossible for me to retain food, and
water brashes plagued me. Twas reduced
to a skeleton. A consultation of physicians
was unable to determine just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opinion
that the probable trouble was liberation OF
the coats of the stomach, and held out no
hope of recovery. One doctor said: "All
can do to relieve your suffering is by the use
of opium.
About this time friend OF mine, Mrs.
SAMANTHA Smith, OF Glidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Ok
ford Junction, Iowa. This lady said she
had been afflicted much the same as had.
She had consulted local physicians without
relief, and had gone to Davenport for treat
meut. Giving up all hope of recovery, she
was persuaded by friend to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The result was al
most magical.
Twas led to try them from her expert
ence and before many months felt better
than had for dozen years. am now al
most free from trouble, and II through
some error of diet feel badly, this splendid
remedy sets me right again. have regained
nv strength and am once more in my usual
flesh. / sleep well and can eat without dis
tress. I have no doubt that owe my re-
co7ery to Dr. Williams Pink Pills. only
wish that had heard Of them years ago,
thereby saving myself ten years OF suffering
and much money"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams

IN MY LADY'S DESK.

Pen Trays and Paper Holders Come In
Charming Combination.
The very latest addition to my lady's
desk is pen tray and wiper holder in
one. The handsome specimens are of
silver, embossed or plain, and are de-
signed to accompany other parapher-
MALTA of the same material. However,
others are shown, and a generous va
riety in all the finer sorts of china can
be found, SO that every taste can be
gratified
In all the general characteristics are
the same, and economy of space is con-
sidered as we'll as beauty. The tray
proper is simple. at one end is small
candlest;ck which is supported on a
graceful standard, and in the socket is
wax taper The tray is quite big
enough to hold the wax seal, as well as
the pens. and the one object so keeps
the entire equipment intact. The
price is too varied to quote. Silver has
always its own value, and Dresden
china as well as Sevres has a recognized
worth, but there are few to be seen
in less expensive wares, and even in
heavy plate. Silver has become SO
cheap a commodity that plate has
taken a certain sort of disrepute, but
nevertheless there are times and places
when it is desired.
Such an object as pen tray is better
solid, to be sure, but as it gets very
little usage good plate will last life
time. Fads and fancies are SO com
pletely the things of the hour, and
tickle seekers after novelty are SO per-
petually making changes, that 1t seems
hardly worth while to invest much
money upon what is likely to be super
seeded in few months at farthest--N.
