Whole Family Drowned.
The finding of the bodies of a whjte
man and a woman and two children as
they floated over the dam at Austin a
few days ago lead to tfie disclosure of
the awful fete that befell a Lavaca coun-
ty boy and his loved ones. The bodies
referred tb above were those of Will
Wmfield/his wife and two little chil-
dren, who left here last spring and locat-
ed in Llano ceunty. Will Winfield was
a noble hardworking man. He.lixgd
at Hope, and decided to try his luck in
Llano county. The supposition is that
he and his family were camping in the
: [Colorado river bottom when the sudden
rise came and swept them on to a horri-
ble death. The horses and wagon were
also recovered in the river. Will's fath-
er, Hillary Winfield, resides with his
son-in-law, Joe Goode, on the Yoakum-
Hope road. The bodies were buried at
Austin, as they could not be identified
at the time.—HaHetsville Herald.
Farmers Most Organize.
The sights of wagonload after
wagonload of watermelons on our
streets every day with no one to
purchase same, is in itself a mighty
good argument for a truck growers'
association. With such an organi-
zation the farmers could easily get
together and ship a carload of mel-
ons or other produce to the north
and east every few days, instead of
having it rot on their bands, or
aving to feed it to the hogs. Let's
ye that trucker's club.

(formerly one of our valued citi-

WASTE AND MISERY
Great Loss of Property and Untold Misery as
Result of the Big Overflow.—Scenes
and Incidents at Richmond,
Brookshire and
Other Points.
The flood disaster which wraught such havoc ' \ portions of Rob-
ertson, Brazos, Grrimes and other counties in Central Texas, moved
further south Thursday, and the towns of Richmond, Rosenberg, Sun*
nyside, Brookshire, Sartartia, Fulshear and the big river bottom
plantations in those neighborhoods became the scene of action of the
waters. The people had to flee from all that country, and several
hundred were taken to Houston and other places near the flooded
districts. Comfortable two-story houses and well filled barns were
swept away and down the river. It seems that in spite of the
graphic descriptions sent to the newspapers the outside world but
scarcely realizes the extent of the calamity. A Houston merchant
called up the county judge by 'phone and asked him how much bottom
lands there were free from water. "Not an inch," whs the reply, "and
there are two to twenty-five feet of water on every foot of bottom land."
The town of Richmond was overflowed and in every direction as
far as the eyes could see there was nothing but water. Many houses
north Of the railroad track wereN completely under water. Railroad
communication was entirely cut off—tracks submerged. The jail was
surrounded by five feet of water, and the Southern Pacific depot was
also surrounded. Over 300 women and children went to Eagle Lake.
At Rosenberg the Brazos was ten miles wide, and rescuing parties
were engaged several days bringing people across from the bottom
lands on the north side of the river. All living near the river were
obliged to leave their homes.
From five to eight thousand negroes will be left absolutely home-
less and destitute in and near Calvert, say nothing of those at other
places along the Brazos

shoes pulled off and been "allowed to
bleed freely, adjust pledgets of oakum
so that foreign matter cannot get into
the feet, and place the horse with his
tore feet in a clay bed. Let him stand
in it a couple of days, feeding him very
lightly and only the most cooling of
foods meanwhile. When you take him
out of the clay, nail on his shoes again
and continue the cooling food, avoiding
; stimulating rations altogether. If grass
is available give the horse plenty of that
and such grain as you give him, let that
be crushed oais. Feed plenty of bran
and in winter boiled roots in place of
grass. The attack of founder is very
easily precipitated and it is not so hard
to combat in the very beginning. It is
the condition that ensues, if nothing is
done to relieve the condition of the for-
ward fee^ that is hard to change. The
application of stimulating liniment to
the coronets after the horse is going
right again is often beneficial. Sweet
oil r.nd ammonia, eqjial parts, make an
excellent liniment for this purpose. This
induces a more rapid growth of the horn,
If you follow these directions you should
never have much trouble.—The Horse-
man.

Women and Filthy Testimony.
An animated discussion has been
raised in New York by the action of
Magistrate Kudlich, of that city, in. de-
claring in open court that women fre-
quented the court room mainly to drink
in greedily the unclean testimony which
is a feature of many of the cases on trial.
It is a fine question for debate, and if
the magistrate's assertion is true, it calls
for a reform.
It is a noticeable fact that many wo-
men enjoy listening to testimony of a
racy nature. The sex has from time
immemorial, been given credit for being
the gossips of the race, and some ad-
venturous spirits go so far as to declare
that in ancient days they served the of-
fice now filled by the newspaper. Fem-
inine curiosity is proverbial, but at the
same time the properly balanced mascu-
line does not enthuse over its extensioii
to doubtful fields. Many cases have
developed where risqueness or grossness
go hand in hand, and wherein the evi-
dence is of such a nature as reveals the
depth of depravity which feeble human
nature occasionally sounds. That wo-
men should be kept free from such spec-
tacles is a potent fact.
But here comes in the "free-thinker"
and broad-minded man, who claims "evil
to him who evil thinks," and that as the
sunlight daily passes through filthy
places and is not robbed of its purity,
contact with slime and moral disease
cannot injure a really good woman. Yet
there is another axiom, which comes
straight from the Bible, and which many
an erring man and woman knows holds
the very kernel of truth, and this is:
"They that touch pitch shall be defiled."
Necessarily, our minds feed on what
they encounter in daily life, and no mat-
ter how barren women may be of ob-
scene sentiments, if they are daily or
even occasionally grafted on her mind
they cannot fail to produce an evil ef-
fect..
There is another phase of the ques-
tion which is even more positive and
prevalent, and that is the alarming ra-
pidity with which a taste for these mor-
bid disclosures is developed. It is said
that when once a tiger tastes blood, all
other diet is insipid. So with obscene
testimony. Once heard, it grasps the
unwary mind and subtly inoculates it
with its delicate virus, so that in time
that which was considered loathsome
and degrading, finally becomes palatable
and welcome. Of course, there are but
few women who enter courts unless the
misfortune of personal fate drags them
there. To the strong-minded members
of the sex it is useless to address admo-
nition. It is to the thoughtless and
giddy that the warning should be direct-
ed, those who, if they will not take care
of themselves, should be assisted in this
all-important duty.
It is a sad commentary that such a
necessity should exist, but there is no
doubt that such is the case. The only
remedy for the outward disease is a
statute prohibiting women from audi-
ence in courtrooms where indecent ca-
ses are on trial. The actual vure must
come from another, higher and more
comprehensive source.—Atlanta Consti-
tution.

How to Cure Bloody Flux.
Never Known to Fail.
As a druggist I have handled
various remedies for bowel com-
plaints for the past five years, but
have never found anything so ben-
eficial or certain to effect a cure as
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It is an abso-
lute specific for bloody flux, diar-
rhoea and summer complaints in
general. 1 have never known it to

The river at this point attained
a height of about 33 feet here last
Thursday, about two feet higher
than the rise of the 16th, and about
six feet less than the great over-
flow of 1869. Probably about 7000
acres of crops in this county were
destroyed, but no loss of life ex-
cept two negroes on Capt. Dono-
vant's farm on Eagle Lake were
reported. Some of the planters
are planting their cotton over,
others say it is too late; but as it
comes up in three or four days, it
is worth tryiiig.—Colorado Citizen.
Happy Results.
During the past summer the
writer had occasion to use Cham-
berlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy himself and in his
family. He had used it before and
always satisfactorily but gladly
says with especially happy results
this time. This confirms me iu
the purpose to keep it in the house
all the time and recommend it to
others.—A. R. McCollum, manag-
