capable of expressing tjttingly the
fullness of our hearts and our appre.
citation of your more than generous
hospitality that you have showered
yes, poured upon us, at this hour and
ever since our arrival in this beautiful
city, a city Of fine, and I may say mag.
nificent homes. It was our first
love. We assure you, our old-time
friends, that we do appreciate your
kindness, even it we, fail to give proper
expression to our feelings. It has been
a continual expression of welcome
This fraternal feeling is made and
strengthened, no doubt by our mutual
experiences of trial and hardship in the
pioneer days of Austin. In our present
visit, I am happy to note that your
efforts and privatiOns in those early
days have been so fully rewarded
by the building up of this fine modern
city which we see spread before us. In
pioneer days wo had the hope, but
could only see the possibility. While
we are meeting so many dear friends
on whose faces the finger of time has
drawn deeper lines and whose hair is
turned whittier by the frosts of many
years, causing us to peer into each
others faces a second time to establish
full recognition, there are still other
faces we do not see, but whose we'll re-
membered names We find recorded on
yonder tablets of marble. But while
their absence is regretted, they are not
forgotten by us. Be assured, dear
friends, that we shall take with us to
our California homes a life long re-
membrance of this occasion so kindly
and thoughtfully arranged by the ladies
and old time comrades of Austin, as
we'll as of all the glad welcome extend
ed to us on every hand during every
hour Of this visit. We thank you, one
and all.
AS we have already said, the occasion
was most enjoyable, and the large COM
pany fingered to visit and recall old
times. The guests Of honor expect to
leave on Friday of this week for their
Southern California home.
The four Hunt brothers. Albert, Will
liam f. Richard o. and Charles c.
came to Austin in 1856 from Joliet, Ill.
their father and mother coming later
to live here. Albert returned to Illi-
nois after year or two but the other
three brothers identified themselves
with Austin and remained here until
the city was established. William liv-
ed most of the time on his farm near
D. Bero's, Richard was a blacksmith
and Charles was in the hardware busi-
ness. Charles lived in the house now
owned by j. Solner on Main street, and
Richard in the old Amos H. Hill house.
Charles Hunt moved to California in
1870 and William and Richard went in
1872 and their home has since been

RLOODIEST IN HISTORY.
Battle on the Yalu Has Not Disheart.
ened Russians

St. Petersburg, May 6.-The gloom
which prevailed here yesterday was al
most completely dispelled this morning
when the peope read of the glorious
fight made by General Sassalitchs
handful of rough regiments against the
flower OF the milsados lcgions at Yalu,
and OF the utter defeat OF Admiral To-
COS attempt to seal the entrance to
Port Arthur.
II Is now plain that not more than
5000 Russians We're actually engaged
in the fighting at the Yalu against the
japanese army of 4 total strength of
between 10000 and 10000.
The losses on both sides, which are
expected to reach 1900 and possibly
1900 in the Russian force and twice
that number for the Japanese, make it
one of the bioodieSt fights In history.
At The river crossing the Japanese
dead lie piled up literally In heaps, and
General kuroki's success was pur-
chased at such heavy cost that the
Russians are disposed to regard it as
rather Il defeat than Il victory for him.
General kuropatkin's dispatch shows
the Russians fought With such bulldog
tcnaCity and bravery against the over
whelming superiority of the enemy that
the latter's nominal victory was
eciipsed by the prowess of the cars
soldiers.
Kuropatkin's report also served to
restore General Sassalitch to public
favor. Those who We're disposed to crit
icise him, even at headquarters of the
general staff, where it is considered he
made a tactical blunder, now say he
redeemed himself by his gallantry in
action, and the damage he inflicted
upon the enemy.
About the bulletin boards the people
are especially Impressed With the des-
perate bayonet charge of the Eleventh
regiment. Survivors of this heroic reg
| iment, which cut its way out declare
their position was surrounded by more
| than 1000 dead Japanese.
| The loss of guns, which consisted of
| twenty-five field pieces and eight ma
| chine guns is considered particularly
unfortunate, even though they would
| be of no service to the enemy on ac-
count of the removal OF the breech-
blocks. but members of the general
staff sa ythe science of war offers many
| instances where guns have been sac
rificed TO allow the infantry to retreat
| in good order.
| General Sassalitch only had forty
| guns altogether, and sixteen of these
| left AntuTg early Sunday morning and
reached Feng Wang Cheng safely. The
| Second and Third batteries of the Sixth
| brigade lost all but two guns. namely
| twenty-five. Eight machine guns which
| We're used TO cover the retreat We're also
| lost.

We always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom OF sickness and they soon
put us right. If we have Il touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are not
right, we take n few Dodd's Kidney
Pills and the symptoms are Soon all
gone.
MY brother had Diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. l got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago, he has lived through
all the winters and springs since and
is still living. Dodds Kidney Pills are
, wonderful medicine"
