Columbus Ga, August 14-(Special.)- Burglaries having been so frequent here of late, Jesse A. Perkins. railroad man who lives on East Highlands. slept Friday night with his two bull dogs in his room. At 1 o'clock the dogs growled fiercely, awakening him, and sprang through a window. He got up .n me to see a negro Jumping over a fence. He fired at him twice without hitting him.
 Charles Bush, who also lives on East Highlands, heard two burglars trying to get into window late the same night. He secured his pistol, slipped up behind them and aiming the pistol at the head of one of the men, pulled the trigger. The weap- on snapped. He tried again to fire but the weapon again snapped The negroes jumped over a fence and escaped.
 Burglars visited Waverly Hall, Ga, last night and secured s15 at the home of John M Griffin. They also entered the home of G. W. Kellum but secured noth- ing. Several burglaries have occurred at Cusseta, Ga, south of Columbus, this week.

The police last night jailed the person whom they believe has committed the majority of the thirty odd burglaries in Columbus and vicinity during the past few days. He is a negro, who gives the name of Charles Gaston, but is believed to be Lucius Fam, a negro sent to the penitentiary a number of years ago for 20 years for burglarizing the home of M. Harris and who escaped from the peni- tentiary, it is thought.
 The police have been watching for the negro for several days, having learned he sold some of the property stolen from two of the residences to another negro. Cas- ton admitted having burglarized eight houses

San Isidro Whim-Whams.

Oct. 8.-Since my last letter ;
good deal has happened. One o
the biggest foods in the annals 0
Starr county has occurred, and ,
great deal of loss has resulted.
Our last big food was in 1865
when steamboats, could get to the
market place OF Camargo, and thi.
food was higher by a foot or two
than that one. In the vicinity o.
/ Camargo over one hundred families
lost everything and were left des-
titute. A subscription was started
to help them. Our genial and pop
ular sheriff, W. W. Shelly, when he
heard of this loss, went by boat tC
/ Camargo, investigated, and starred
in to help these poor people from
this side.
Altos Garcias. de Abajo, some
eighteen houses went 10 pieces, be
ing built of adobe. and the post
master there lost some seven o.
eight and now has, OF had, his
Office in the Tomas. -
At Las Placetas, D. Encarnacion
r. Perdy lost a splendid late crop
. of corn and frijoles, to say nothing
F.. Of his cotton, sugarCane, pumpkins,
watermelons, etc. Some twenty
four allnudes planted Of corn, and
twelve of beans that were just
ready to be harvested, went as a
tribute to The raging Rio Grande.
Tia Pue.ta, all the crop Of Don
Cruz Tiierina, Mrs. Kelsey and
others, were a total loss, and d lot
of corn, etc, already harvested and
stacked, were washed away.
At the Refugio, Los Villareales,
Artec;tas, and other places, a great
loss was sustained. Altos Solices,
which IS, as it were, a suburb of
La Grulla, fourteen houses, all Of
adobe, went to pieces. Don Pan
cbo Espericueto lost 5; Don Asen-
cion Soils, ,; Don Lucas Hinoiosa,
Pedro Gonzales, Longino Soils TIE
vino, Victoriano Lozano and Dona
Tirsa Trevino lost one each. Los
Solices Is almost destroyed.
At La Grulla only a house Of
bona Trenida Garcia Longoria was
lost. 7 hear that a good deal of
horses, cattle. etc, were drowned.
everybody took to the hills,
and the water in some cases got
back Of these, and made islands Of
them. A lot of household goods
went, too. On the Mexican side,
as being lower, the loss must have
been greater.
The San Antonio, Houston and
other Texas papers have been as
silent as the grave. I suppose they |
don't want TO prevent investors
coming down. Very poor policy.
Such floods only take place in a
generation, or two, and can be talk /
ed Of without hurting anyone.
We have had one good rain and .
several showers since my last, and I.
the late crops, though small in
amount, are doing finely. The cot
ton suffered from the picudos. D. /
Pedro Villareal has some $500 |
pounds picked, and I suppose, III
the neighborhood, there must have
been a crop of thirty odd bales
gathered. Ell SoLTERO.

OLD FASHIONED.
But Still in the Fashion.

IL Is an ever new and interestins
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change Of food.
For two years | was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
Ihere was nothing could eat but
~ or 80 minutes later would be spit.
ting nay food up in quantities until I
"ould be very faint and weak. This
went out from day to day until was
terribly wasted away and without ann
prospect Of being helped.
One day was advised by an ola
lady to try Grape. Nuts and cream
leaving off all fatty food had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me as had tried 80
many things without any help. But
IL was so simple thought / would
give 1t trial she insisted so.
Well ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me and asked
Il had tried her advice.
Glad you did child, do you feel
some better?'
No. | said, I do not know az
DO, the only difference can see is I
have no sour stomach and come to
think of it haven't spit up your four
teaspoons Of Grape.Nuts yet
Nor did 1 ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests It perfectly:
soon got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time | see
her.
