Echoes From Texas.
Secretary of Sta

Beaumont, Texas. April goth,
1902. -EDIToR REPUBLICAN,
Well, the State encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic
and Womaris Relief Corps. have
held their Reunion here in Beau
mont as advertised, elected their
officers, transacted all routine
business and adjourned last Sat-
urday night all winding up with
a grand steam boat excursion
Saturday down the river to Port
Neches. 1t was under the
auspices and as the guests of the
Womans Relief Corps of Beau
mont, who chartered the steam
boat, employed two bands and
provided the splendid dinner for
over 200 which was sent on and
spread in advance by special boat.
They also provided an extra large
size graphaphone which was,load-
ed to the muzzle with patriotic
speeches and songs sent on with
the dinner and concealed in some
shrubbery near the tables and at
the proper time was sprung upon
1.-THE guests with great effect.
lTaken altogether it was a great
success and reflected great credit
upon the Womans Relief Corps,
who deserve, it for their neatly
planned and well executed enter
ment. The old soldiers on board
represented nearly every state in
the Union. One of them told. me
he Unlisted in Mimi, when a boy,
served out his time, was discharg-
ed in Texas and had never left
the. state. One of the bands
(colored) played all the old G..
A. r. war songs, "Marching
Through Georgia, "'Rally Round
the Flag" Tramp, Tramp" etc,
and the lower deck was given up
to them and the old soldiers en-
1joyed it to the limit, singing
tsongs and cheering the stars and
stripes with which the boat was
decked out in great profusion. !
doubt if more enjoyment.was ever
crowded into one day by the same
number of people than was had
by this G. "A. r.. contingent and
Womans Relief Corps.
The weather continues perfect

We are in receipt of a marked
copy of the Auburn Post which
suggests the name of Hon. F. M.
Currie for Governor. Had the
Post been located in the sixth
congressional district we would
have been inclined to think that
it was a move to direct the at
tention of the Public form Currie
as candidate for congress. 1t
may be some one of the Senator's
rivals for the nomination has had
it done with that in view. But
there will be time enough to con-
slider that question after the con-
gressional convention. There
may be other congressional as
pirauts who will be eligible for
the position of governor after the
Crawford convention. We know
of man by the name of A. E.
Cady that we think would fill the
position admirably.

spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and
kidneys become sluggish and in
active, the digestion impaired,
with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a
feeling that the whole body and
mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter,
there has been an accumulation
of waste matter in the system.
Herbine will remove it, secure to
the secretions right exit, and
by its tonic effect, fully restore
the. wasted tissues and give
strength in place of weakness.

is then rushed across the Medi-
terranean to encounter European
clouds and to fall upon European
soil, no longer sand but mud.
Wherever it falls, town and
country are colored bright red.
The spectacular effect can be inn
agined, and the superstitious rev.
erence the peasants have for the
blood rains" can easily be under
stood. Superstition will vanish
however, before the implacable
industry of the Teutonic Herr
Professor. One of the by-pro-
ducts of DIR. Hapke's work will be
that it will be easier now to
study the movements of glaciers.
DR.. Hapke has marked the points
at which glaciers have been dis
colored by the dust rains, and by
observing those points, scientists
will be able for the future to
study more accurately the laws
that govern glacier conditions.
Altogether DIR. Hapke's memoir
illustrates pretty well the charac-
ter of scientific study in Germany
