Claims of the People’s Era on Their
Consideration.
Your attention is hereby invited to The
People’s Eea as a medium for your adver-
tising favors, in the light of the following
£acts:
Its editor and publisher is by far the
oldest in the business in San Marcos and
Hays county, having conducted the San
Marcos Free Press continuously from Sep-
tember 1873 to August 1890, during which
period it was for the most part the only
and always the leading paper, having also a
considerable outside circulation. The Era
began publication in September, IS92, is
kindred in character and scope to t&fe Free
Press, and bids fair to surpass it in circula-
tion and standing among the best class of
well-to-do farmers and business men. The
Eba is carefully conducted, elevated in tone,
well printed, tastefully made up, thus m
Vitiug intelligent and discriminating readers
of the better class; and hence, needless to
say, is worth more as an advertising me-
dium than many papers of larger circula-
tion.
Your inspection is invited to the sample
copy herewith. RateB reasonable. Terms
on application. Correspondence solicited.

A Gem From Shelley.
Those gilded flies
That, basking in the sunshine of a court,
Patten on its corruption, what are they?
The drones of the community. They feed
On the mechamo’s labor; the starved hind
For them oompals the stubborn glebe to
yield
Its unshared harvests: and yon squalid form,
Leaner than fleshless misery that wastes
A sunless life in the unwholesome mine,
Drags out in labor a protracted death.
To glut their gi’andeur; many faint with
foil,
That few may know the cares and woes of
sloth.
Whence think’st thou kings and parasites
arose?
Whence that unnatural hive ©f drones, who
heap
Toil and unvanquishable penury
On those who build their palaces and bring
Their daily bread? From vice, black loath-
some vice; 5
Prom rapine, madness, treachery >md wrong;
From all .that genders misery and makes
Of earth this thorny wilderness; from lust,
Revenge and murder.
And when reason's voioa.
Loud as the voioe of Nature, shall have
wuked
The nations and mankind p rceive that vice
Is discord, war and misery—that virtue
Is peace, and happiness, and harmony—
When man’s maturer nature shali disdain
The playthings of its childhood!—kingly
glare
Will lose its power to dazzle, its authority
Will silently pass away; the gorgeous throne
Shall stand unnoticed in its regal hall.
Fast falling to decay,- whilst falsehood’s
trade
Shall be as hateful and unprofitable
As that of truth is now.

YELLOW FEVER-J S7.
A yellow fever frigid .3^4a<;tiae
southern air. It was expected to
follow the great Mississippi oierilow
of the past summer. The sanitary
condition of the Mississippi valley is
unavoidably worse than it has betn
for many years. This wyiter was in
Galveston in 1S67. That year there
prevailed the most disastrous epi-
demic ever recorded in J’lie history
of Texas. It swept the state from
the mouth of the Rio Grande to Sa-
bine Pass, op the Central road to
Hearne, on to Shreveport, toward
Austin as far as Brenbam and La-
grange, west as far as Columbus.
Houston, Chappel Hill, Indianola,
Corpus Christi-and mgs rf.ere
nearly depopulated. 6vt 'OUcoaea
occurred in the cicy c: Galveston
alone. Out Of that num' ar was bur-
ied 1503 dead. For one week ear-
ly in September they died at the
rate of 45 a day in that city. Ten of
I the finest physicians in Texas we re
buried. The fever cams to Gtlves-
ton from Indianola, fro a Cuba to
Indianola on a fruit boat The boat
buried two or three of it s crew on
the way from Cuba. No quarantine
existing, the boat boldly landed at
Indianola with two cas, “ of fever
yet aboard (kept secret),^nd the sail-
ors sold to some cowboj.s the blank-
ets upon which the dead Tailors had
lain. The cowboys s apped the
blankets on their hoist slept on
them at night, spent few days
rounding up c&ttle in the edge of
town. Soon one of them fell sick
and died. Another went down and
was removed to a hotel town. A
doctor was summoned Gid a most
virulent cise of yellow fever was de-
veloped. The boat was examined
and two like cases found aboard.
Alarm spread and the fever spread
with it. Ilalf the popuh lion left in
two days. Many of them took the
fever along with them and died on
the roach all business ^Suspended;
doctors and nurses wer called for;
Galveston generously sent a steam-
boat containing doctors, nurses and
provisions; the men of - the boat
brought the fever back with them,
nobody could tell how, bat the air
seemed to be charged v it; the
engineer was down with it quickly,
and his fellow boatm followed;
some were in the boat md others
hud gone to houses and YpituIs.
T-’ Yy A ^
Noi> many negroes died. Pour down
a negro a pint of castor oil and he
was on his feet in fiye or six days.
This writer hag nursed as many as
eight persons at one time, four white
four black, three of them women,
and not one of the number died.
Every precaution on earth should be
taken to prevent a yellow fever ep-
idemic.—Seguin Anchor.
&PPLY THE REMEDY.
THE CRIME AGAINST THE STRI-
KERS.
On the 10th a body of Hungarian
and Polish miners marching along
the highway to Hazleton, Pa., were
met by the sheriff and 105 deputies
armed with Winchesters and revol-
vers. ^ They were ordered by the
sheriff to halt, but continued their
march. Probably not one was able
to understand tbe order. The dep-
uties poured a volley into the ranks
of the unarmed men, who, stricken
with terror, turned in confused flight.
Volley’after volley was poured into
the retreating mass. Eleven fell
dead instantly. Ten have since died,
and of forty odd wounded and lying
in the hospital a number are wound- w^°

WAR ON NEGROES.
Warren, Ark., Has Been in a State of
Terror for Mouths.
Warren, Ark., Sept. 11.—A largely
attended mass meeting was held here
last night for the purpose of putting
down the lawlessness which lias been
goiug on for the past few months.
The town has been in a state of ter-
ror nearly every night, caused by the
indiscriminate firing of pistols" and
guns after dark. Placards have boon
posted all over the town wurning the
negroes to leave by a given date and
asserting that two hundred armed
men stood ready to enforce the
threats on the cards.
During the indiscriminate shoot-
ing in the streets a few weeks ago
Annie Priests, a colored woman, was
struck by a bullet and fatally injured
while standing on her own porch.
Negroes passing along the street
at night have been stoned and fired
upon in the darkness and run out of
town.
The nnss meeting was called to
order by Mayor Barnett. After
speeches hud been made denouncing
the lawlesness, resolutions were pass-
ed requesting the council to pass an
ordinance prohibiting loitering on
the streets at night and pledging
support to the officers in putting
down crime.
Among other acts of lawlessness,
it was discovered today that the wat-
er in the well at the colored Bchool
house in North Warren had been
poisoned. A large bottle of strych-
nine bad been dropped in the well.
Over a hundred colored children
drink water from the well.
The general prospect as viewed
from the border of the land of gold
at this time, is that the route to Yu-
kon will be strewn with bones as
well as blasted hopes.
The Klondike craze is having a
dsastrous effect on the industries of
Alaska. Tbe great salmon cannery
at Chilkat 1ms been compelled to
close from lack of fishermen in the
middle of a very fine season. Near-
’ ly every white man in. the cannery
deserted and started for Dawson

------. J^gg fa.**
was pronounced epidem o in Galves-
ton by the doctors. The war had
lately ended, and the sanitary con-
dition of the city was vtiry bad. It
was ruining in showers nearly every
day. There was mu^ stagnant
water, poor drai iage, after many of
the cellars contained water. The
fever spread rapidly. Hundreds
left the city, Quarantine soon stop-
ped the exodus. Business in all
branches was paralyzed.' Cleaning
up the city commenced vigorously,
but it was to olate. A Howard as-
sociation was organized. Hospitals
were established. The services of
professional nurses were in demand.
Hundreds of fresh, ruddy unaccli-
mated northern people, especially
young men, had come to Galveston
and entered into business. These
unacclimated people, died so fast it
was difficult to dig graves for them.
A few thousand people were in the
city who had formerly had the fever,
but not enough to nurse ‘the thous-
ands who were soon prostrated.
Professional nurses and doctors c ime
in from other cities. It is a g:'eat
mistake that sanitary conditions Lave
little to do with the spread of infec-
tious or contagious di-eases. The
whole Mississippi valley is now in a
condition for a widespread and de-
structive epidemic. Nothing but
the.most rigid and universal quaran-
tine w‘11 protect the country,
and still even that m ly fail.
Commerce blames the doctors, but
the business of the doctor is t5 look
after the health aud the lives of the
people. The whole coast country,
from Charleston to Point Isabel,
should immediately be brought un-
der the most rigiTsysTeriTof wnuTPary
regulation, and as fur up as Memphis
on a line east and west. It is not too
late for an epidemic. Showery weath-
er, now prevailing in most of the
section mentioned, brings something
besides the cotton worm— stagnant
water, the rapid decay of yegetation,
and then malaria. Cuba, the hot bed
of yellow fever, is at our door. We
do not discuss the theory as to the
origin, nature and spread of tho dis-
ease. That tho air becomes impreg-
nated with it, and . that there were
15,000 cases of it in Galveston, and
1500 deaths, is a matter of history.
At one period 10,000 wera down at
once. Whole familiesday.
This writer, having thoroughly med-
icated himself beforehand, nursed
cases day and night four weeks be-
fore he took it, and just pulled
through by aid of a professional
nurse. Four of his family died.
There were no ice factories then in
Texas. Thp goqd yankeejs of Boston
(whom we did not kill during the
war) sent as a free gift to Galveston
a ship load of ice and $20,000 in
gold. At the close of the epidemic,
Oct. 1. a census showed that every
persou in the city, white and black,
who had not formerly had the fever,
had been smitten with it. All the
fat people in town were dead. The ;
ed unto death.
It was not only a crime; it was an
insensate blander. Fortunately, the
strike is settled, and it speaks highly
of the conservatism governing the
miners that they voted for tbe settle
ment with the news of the Pennsyl-
vania outrage fresh before them.
The sympathies of the country have
been with them throughout the
strike. It was felt that they were
asking for a very modest portion of
their equitable share in the improve-
ment of trade conditions. With
large masses of men ignorant of the
spirit of our institutions in their
ranks the leaders of the movement
have effectively exercised a discipline
that has earned the admiration and
the gratitude of the country. The
strike has been pacific from the %e-
gining. This slaughter of the strik-
ers will give their cause the strong-
est bold upon the hearts of the
American people. None of us will
remember that the murdered men
were foreigners. We remember on-
ly that they were unarmed men, ask-
ing living wages for .their toil, vio-
lating no law, and slain by those
whose duty it, was to protect every
one alike against violence.
JPqblio sentiment demand^ of the
authorities of Pennsylvania ^that the
crime be punished as pxtilealy as it
was executed. Murder must uot go
unpunished because it is wholesale,
nor because it was committed by
minions of tbe law.—Texa3 Stock &
Farm Journal.
Governor Pingree, the republican
executive of Michigan, wires to the
president:
“I regard the duties on lumber,
hides and sugar as unrepublican, un-
patriotic and unfair. The lumber
now used goes largely into small
homes and farm houses and to class
already overtaxed, The laborer
wears twice as many shoes as the
millionaire and must contribute twice
as much for the tax on hides. He
must use as much sugar and pay as
much towards the duty on sugar. It
is grossly unfair to make the poor
pay as much per capita as the rich
toward the support of the govern-
ment. Property and not human;
stomachs should be reached. Prop/
erty is protected by our laws and ’
should pay for its protection. j
Up to last year the insurance
companies accused the Port of Gal-
veston of allowing the cotton to re-
main on tbe wharves without protec-
tion long enough Tor the bales to
absorb sufficient moisture to deter-
iorate the cotton all around the bale,
and especially the end resting on the
ground.
To place the responsibility where
it belongs, the wharf company, at
Galveston, two years ago covered
all its wharves with waterproof ware-
houses having planked floors, but
still country damage claims came
from abroad, and as the damage
cannot occur here, the careless hand-
ling in the country is responsible
for that enormous loss of $300,000
in insurance.
The eotton is transferred here di-
rect from the cars to the warehouse
and from the warehouse to the
steamers, there is no posibility of
damage occnring.
The loss of $300,000 can be preven-
ted by the farmers, cotton dealers
and compress managers taking bet-
ter care of cottoD, and never letting
the bales rest on the ground, nor be
exposed to the weather. Heavy
bagging, 2J pounds and certainly
not less than 2£ pounds should be
used, and skids should be placed un-
der the halfes when it is not possible
to put them in warehouses.
If the interior of the State will
protect the cotton as it ig done in
Galveston, the question of “Country
damage” will be settled, and the
farmers will receive $300,000 more
for their cotton.

II THE PEOPLES EM
To be Preserved in the Confederate
Museum at Richmond. 1
At a recent meeting of the Con-Q'
federate Memorial Literary Society
in Richmond, Va., it was resolved to
press forward the work of registering ’•
the names of Confederate soldiers11
and sailors in ft “roll of honor,'” to be
presented in the Confederate Mus-
eum for all time to come. The books
are now open, and it is urged that
all those who feel an interest in this
work shall send in the name and
rank of their friends and comrades-
promptly, with such mention of their
record as they may deem proper, and
as far as possible a verified report of
the various commands to which they
were attached—the names of not on-
ly of those who died for their coun-
try in the hope of victory, but also of
those who learned the not less her-
oic lesson of Hying for her in the
hour of defeat.
Address all communications to
Mrs. James N. Dunlop, Chairman
Memorial Committee, 307 Grace St.,
Richmond, Ya.

tenderfoot. He is swarming for the
summit, in many instances with an
outfit unfit in kind and quantity. He
is leaving here every day with pretty
red, frail two wheeled carts and
wheelbarrows, piled high with super-
fluous baggage which he cannot hope
to push over the mountain trails. His
one idea is gold, and he is going after
it with sacks and carts in which to
bring it back.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
was in its infancy half a cen-

of its power? Its cures! The
number of them ! The wonder
of them! Imitators have fol-
lowed it from the beginning of
its success. They are still be*
