MARBLE FALLS MENTION.

Marble Falls, Tex, Feb. 12.-(Special.)
AT the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
j. Kinser, near Marble Falls, on last
Tuesday evening, their daughter, Miss
Leila, was married to Mr.. Chas. Helm
performing the ceremony. The bridal
party left the next day for the groom's
home at Leander.
The Burnet county Teachers institute
day and today. Owing to the inclemenccy
of the weather the attendance was small,
WHICH was quite disappointment, to
the people of Marble Falls, who had
made preparations to entertain them.
The program us announced was car
ried out by those in attendance as near
as possible and much interest was mani
tested by those present.
The weather has been the most Sc
we're felt for years, the lowest regis
tered being only 6 degrees above zero
The lake was frozen over.

A OuEER JUSTICE.

I'm Just back from attending court
at Johnson City, Blanco county" said
a gentleman yesterday, land they have a
Populist justice of the peace up there
who wears the ermine with great dig
nifty and dispenses justice right and left
in a way that would make Justice Bean
of Rio Grande fame blush. They have
no county court in Blanco county and the
Justice courts have a deal of business.
The other day this particular justice
had an important case before him and
in the midst of a very able argument
a deputy sheriff or constable thought ii
was about time to take drink. he
didn't want to drink alone and he reached
over and in a whisper asked the dignitied
justice if he wouldn't step out and help
diminish the quantity of whisky in the
town.
Court is in session." he huskily whis-
pered.
what if 'tis?"
But that blamed lawyer is making
his speech"
mo matter if he is. You just adjourn
court for five minutes and we'll go and
get drink" said the thirsty deputy.
The justice saw it would never do to
let the opportunity slip, and with an
air of great dignity and Importance he
interrupted the lawyers discourse and
said:
"This court is adjourned for five min.
utcs," and he and the deputy proceeded
to the nearest saloon and irrigated.

The following rules have been adopted
by the commissioner of the land Office
and they will be rigidly enforced:

to examine any paper, record or ME, OF
map in the land Office will first get the

Editor Statesman:
The proposal for semi-centennial eX-
nosi,'n1 is meeting everywhere with
hpag.y approval. Such an exposition
with it's appropriate sections, agricul-
ture, mechanical, historical, commercial
and manufacturing, meteorological and
others, would be splendid and the best
nossible advertisement of Texas.
The resources of Texas, her ores, her
building rocks, her pine and other tim
bers, her soils, her agricultural and horti-
cultural products, her stock industries,
her unutlized water power, her posi-
bilities of foreign commerce latent IN
her gulf coast. her adaptability to irrga-
tion. all of these advantages could be so
clearly and effectively set forth IN an IN,
dustrial exposition that capitalists ana
home-seekers would vie with each otner
in their eagerness to reach the Lone SIar
In no other way can Texas bring her
self properly before the world. Mexico,
Central and South America might lie
invited to have exhibits as well as Euro
naUns, the Chinese and the japanese. :,
INT Texas should predominant, All
,thnr exhibits, if there were any others
sbould be strictly subordinated in amount
of space and advantageousness OF dis
NAV to the Texas exhibits. ........

LIKE A SIEVE.

The chief function of the kidneys is to
separate from the blood in it's passage
through them, of certain impurities and
watery particles which make their final
exit through the bladder. The retention
of these, in consequence of inactivity of
the kidneys, is productive of Bright's dis
ease, dropsy, diabetes, albuminuria and
other maladies with a fatal tendency.
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, highly
sanctioned diuretic and blood depurent,
impels the kidneys when inactive to renew
their shifting function, and strain from
the vital current impurities which infest
it and threaten their own existence as
organs of the body. Catarrh of the blad-
der, gravel and retention of the urine
are also maladies arrested or averted by
this benign promoter and restorative OF
organic action. Malaria, rheumatism,
constipation, biliousness and dyspepsia
also yield to the Bitters, which is also
speedily beneficial to the weak and ner-
vouS.

will yet pass the stupendous volume of
an inter-continental commerce. The
completion of the Nicaragua ship canal,
together with the adjacency of Texas to
Mexico and the Gulf, will make Texas
a commercial commonwealth of unusual
Importance.
Imperial in extent, strategic in posi-
ton, prOtean in resources, glorious in
history, resolute and progressive in spirit,
Southern in ardor, Western in breadth of
view, Eastern in sagacity, national in
patriotism, Texas is the Goliath of the
federal brood, with no David to endanger
its supremacy.
Unvexed by the death-dealng cyclone,
not subject to floods, too far south for the
awful winters which frown upon the
West and Northwest, too healthful for
pestilential epidemics, Texas is the
Canaan of the ome-seeker.
Already pre-eminently the cotton grow
ing state, Texas will yet add vastly to
her revenues by manufacturing the regal
fiber into textile fabrics, which she will
distribute to the world. There is abun
dance of available water power, with
