Ah Elmakt Auticlh. Dr. Tott' Hair
Dye is a great triumph of chemistry. Ik-
ing free from all iojuriou qualities its ef-
fect is so Datural that the closest observer
would not observe it. It imitates nature to
perfection and is old all over the world.
Gk. Etkelk received a dispatch tbe
other day from Capt. Spat lis at Dallas
aylog that he bad been stopped there by a
writ of haleas corpus alleging that Ttiomp-
u was amenable to the laws of this State
for a murder he was charged with commit-
ting in Aransas county.
Both the grand jury and the petit juries
of the present District Court scetn to be
performing their duties zealously and
fearlessly and to the satisfaction i f tlitir
law-abiding and peace-loving ftllow-citi-Cins.
The officer courts and juries can-
not be too unrelenting on the unlawful.
Good foh Dat or Nioiit. The

any injurious substances can be used equal-

Shot. A German whose name we could
not learn was shot ia a row at the Waco
Saloon Tuesduy night and the inxn wu
did it made his escape. Tbe party received
a bullet wouud iu his wrist and the same
ball entered his abdomen which will most
likely came his death. An effort eh;tilii
be made to secure the map who did the
hooting.
A furkly vegetable medicine contain-
ing all the virtues of calomel without any
of the injurious tendencies so justly dread
ed by mankind. Simmons' Liver Regula-
tor will be found prompt to start the se-
cretions of the liver and give a healthy
tone to the entire system without saliva-
tion or any injurious effects. When used
as a cathartic it in no wise disorders the
system nor does it produce any nuusea or
sick stomach when about to purge. It is
ao mild in its action as not to interfere with
business or pleasure.
Killed in San Saba. By private letter
to a gentleman in this city it is learned that
a man named Harvick was killed in the
town of San Saba November 17 by L. A.
Tomlinson and Hal C. Fisher. The litter
was county judge elect but had resigned
the office. It is supposed Fisher fired the
fatal shot. All three of the men were
drunk and hunting a row. Up ti the kill-
ing four shots had been fired in the s'.rcet
but no one was hurt except the man killed.
It is thought Harvick fired the first shot.
Fisher and Tomlinson had escaped to the
river bottom.
Tns San Saba A'ews snys :
'Austin are vou awake? "What are you
doing to preserve your trade from West
Texas? Wo frontier folks are very desirous
to continue to procure our supplies from
your meicliant. We can and d.j appreciate
the advantages of a good nvuket to select
from. We urefer to take our proouna to a
city rather than to a village if we can get
it there at the same cost lint for the pre 8
ent theadvaotago in distance superior roads
and saving of time will imiucu most of us
to go to Round Rock especially tlioc who
wiahtnbuy lumber or groceries alone. Can
you afford to lose our trade? Would it not
be better for you to expend a few thousands
in making a narrow gauge to Lampasas than
tr lose us as customer? What arc you go-
ing to do about it?''
Focxn Guilty. The case of one Wilson
charged with killing a man named Barton
a few months ago by shooting him through
the head while he was standing in Irout of
a saloon down in Mexico was concluded
Tuesday. Tbe jury brought in a verdict
of murder in the first degree. Wilson it
will be remembered was arrested immedi-
ately after tbe murdsr was committed but
was discharged after an examination before
Justice Neil's court. So soon as ho was
act at liberty he openly stated that be com-
mitted tbe deed with which he was charged
when 'he was again arrested and now he
finds himself in a position to repent of his
folly and of the terrible crime of murder of
which he boasted.
Mokkt' Monet! The receipts of money
for tickets in tho grand drawing of the
'Kentucky Cash Distribution Company"
during the last few days have been almost
unparalleled. It seems as if tho whole coun-
try had broken out into a great frenzy of
ticket-buying. No city and scarcely a
town village or hamlet has refused tocon-
tribute to this drawing. This is not to be
wondered at when we consider the magni-
tude of the gift the cheapness of the
tickets and the perfect favrness of the
drawing. At the present rate tho tickets
will Rive out before the drawing; so I uy
your tickets at once. Whole tickets (13;
halves 0; quarters $3. Ex Governor

Mr. A. 1L Cook jr. returned from Mis-
souri the latter part of last week by the
Missouri Kansas and Texas route. lie
says fhat every train is loaded with immi-
grants and prospectors on their way t
Texas and that people are also pouring
into this State by thousands in wagons.
The immigration to Texas this year may
reach a quarter of a million.
Mr. A. K. Jossclyn of Boston his par-
chased a $73000 stock ranch near Helena
in Karnes county. Tbe ranch consists of
eight thousand acres all under fence and
stocked and it has a front of six miles on
the San Antonio river. Mr. Josselyn has a
number of wealthy relatives who also con-
template making large investments in Tex-
as and several of tbem have already arrived
in the State. Let them come; there is
room for all.
Tub McCormick Harvester and Bikd-
er. One of the greatest attractions at tbe
fair is '.he popular McCormick grain binder
and harvester which is pronounced abso-
lutely perfect by crowds of farmers. It ia
'he only piece of machinery on tbe ground
operated by steam and certainly it does all
tho work claimed for it to do in the most
satisfactory manner. With these wonder
ful machines a farmer who has a couple
of hundred acres of grain to harvest hasoDly
to mount bis machine and with one good
span of horses he can with the help of one
boy save his crop. The machine does the
work of six binders and don't waste any
ijraia and his family don't have them to
cook for. This every farmer's wife will ap-
preciate. As an ingenious piece of mechan-
ism and an agricultural implement that is
destined to work almost as important a
change as the discovery of steam or the
electric telegraph we advise every body
who goeatto the lair grounds to see the Mc
Cormick binder and harvester. The iden
tical machine en exhibition here took tie
premium at St. Louis and at the North
I'exdB fair at Dallas.
The New Collector. Judge M. N.
Brewster who was sometime since commis-
sioned by the President took possession of
the Internal Revenue office of this district
Tuesday. Judge Brewster is one of the
oldest and most faithful revenue officers in
the State. He is one of the few whose
official bonds are cancelled and whose ac-
counts never found their way into the Fed-
eral courts for settlement. He brings to
the discharge of the duties of his new
office an enviable reputation for experience
efficiency and integrity and enjoys the
confidence and esteem of taxpayers and
citizens where his official duties have here
tofore called him. Though politically a
pronounced and unqualified Republican
yet he belongs to the more liberal wing of
the party in Texas as represented by such
men as tbe late Gen. Hamilton Governor
Pease Judge Bell Judge C. B. Sabin J tic go
McCormick and otheis. We welcome the
Judge to our community and trust his
official and social relations with the people
of Austin will be of a most pleasant char
nctcr.
Merchants aro still complaining about
howthev are swindled by some people who
I buy goods on thirty days' time and then re
fuse to pay them and they say they are
going to take steps to protect themselves
against frauds and swindlers and it is very
proper that they should. Perhaps if the
merchants of a city or town were not al
ways sw indled more or less by dishonest
persons then goods could be sold at lower
rates to those who never fail to pay for
what they buy. It is suggested now that
every merchant in Austin prepare a list of
the names of those persons that he knows
to be dishonest or doubtful customers anl
that the merchants generally raise a purse
to pay some one to go around and copy all
the lists and then furnish every merchant
in the city with one. No doubt there are
a grtat many people everywhere who
make it a study to beat and defraud others
and they deserve to be exposed. Stringent
lawk and rules hurt no one but the dis-
honest and the mean and they deserve to
be hurt.
Stolen Horses Captured and a Thief
Killed. -On Tuesday night of last week two
horses belonging to Mr. Markley the baker
were stolen and the following day he offered
$50 for tbe recovery of the animals ard $30
more for the thief or thieves. Mr. August
Pfieuger who lives on Gilleland creek east
of this city happened to meet two men on
the prairie driving seven horses and among
them he recognized the two stolen from
Mr. Marklev. Ascertaining that a reward
of $100 was offered for the recovery of tbe
hordes and the arrest of tbe thieves ho
secured the aid of two men and set out in
pursuit. The thieve were overtaken near
Taylor station and so soon as they saw
their pursuers they commenced to fire and
after they had emptied their aixsbooters
Pfieuger and party closed in upon them and
tiiod their hand at the shooting game in
which one of the thieves supposed to be a
ran a named Red was killed. Tbe other
thief said to be named Martin made bis
escape. All the horses were captured and
Mr. Mark ley's were sent back to him last
Saturday. Red and Martin are suspected
of shooting a German at the Waco Saloon
west of Turner Hill the night Mr. Markley 'a
horses were stolen.
Bii.lt Thompson His Departure tor
Kansas. On Wednesday Judge Turner
decided that the nquisition nt to Gov-
ruer Cuke from tbe Governor of Kansas for
liTiy Thompson charging him with the
murder of a deputy sheriff at Ellsworth in
that State soma three yean sgo bad prece-
dence over the complaint made here charg-
ing him with the murder of a man in Ar-
ans county and Thursday morning about
7:30 tbe prisoner was delivered over to
Capt. Sparka by Sheriff Corona and he
and a number of hi men started with him
for the International depot. Near one
hundred people had assembled about the
jail to see Thompson as he came from his
cell into th open day and . light of
heaven. There was nothing suiky or
dispondent in Theinpson'a appearance
who came out apparently cheerful and
smoking a cigarita and willingly mountea
a mule intended for him. So soon as he
was in the saddle his feet were chained to-
gether underneath the animal- which was
tied- to one or the ranger's horses with a
strong rope and away went Caps. Spark
the rangers and Billy Thorn peon all eyes
following tbem as they moved up the Avs-
nne and around tbe Capitol iquarn out to
Summit station noma two mil and m half
northwest of the city. What evidence can
be produced against Thompson fastening
the crime with which ha ia charged upon
him remains to bo seen. Capt. Spark w
believe wilt conduct Thompson to lb
State line of Kansas and then deliver bun
oTer to the authorities of thai Stain.

Tom Crooks told the boys to go in aad
celebrate and burn tar and fire-crackers
and if they found themselves mistaken and
that Hayes was actually elected they
could feel devilish good for one night
anyhow. Crooks is the philosoper of blier-
maa and his craniological burdens are hor-
izontally imposed upon tbe ottea vertebrata.
New Braunfels peope must be stupendous
asses when they pay $90000 to induce
Pierce to build his road through their farms
and yards and gardens and Hon. John Ire
land sues the company for damages because
it constructs its highway through bis es-
tate. But tbeee Germans don't know how
they will be ruined by the road and the
judge does.
Shipments of cattle from Dcnison this fall
show over 1700 car loads of local cattle
shipped to date. There were also about
1000 cars of tattle transferred to the M. K.
& T. at Denison making a total shipment
of 27U0 cats. ' l bis is but little short oi last
year's shipments and is a sure sign that
Denison will still remain the principal ship
ping point lor years to come.
Mrs. Peebles of Waller county has been
experimenting in sugar making. The cane
matured finely ana the sugar ana syrup
produced is fine. She will go extensively
into the cultivation of cane and tbe facta
are worthy of note since the cultivation of
ribbon cane except on a very email scale
has never been carried on father north than
Fort Band and Wharton counties.
A fellow named Lur called at the house
of Mr. Ball of Fort Worth and presenting
a pistol at Air. Hall's head urged him. to
sign a paper then and there also presented
Ball was fensible and thinking Lur fool or
knave enough to execute his threat signed
the bilht J's'i.r. The Demoerat man says be
would have signed it if it had been a note
for a million pounds sterling.
Jure Gil van's intended we aro told by
El Dimocralti is named Auguatina which
is juicy and nice. Wo b oated Jero and
S'ephon Powers and Sheriff bcsnlan all in
Corpiu Clirixti. The mistake originated in
tre well-known and unadulterated good-
nes of these men. But there's no one
town in Texas that can contain Jere Galvan
and we always put him about in spots.
Victor . Vaughan was victor among sad-
dlery ami hnruess manufacturers at tbe late
fair. He walked away with tho blue rib
bon alike for Texas and English saddles
for the best display of harness and then
for a splendid double set of harness all
mounted with silver and jewels and gold.
The cavalry officers of the We-.t were enrap-
tured with Vaughan's splendid work.
Mr. Poe of Giddiogs was proud to have
$234 all at once in his little red pocket-
book and he exhibited his treasures when
paying a little bill in the midst of the good
people of his town and the pocketbook
was gently lifted out of poor Poe's paws
and ever since Poe has stood solemnly and
sad'y like Poe'a raven aud weepinp "-ings
of his spilt spondulix 'I will see it uevcr-roo.-e."
Mr. James Wabble married Miss Mary
Grubbs in Denison. There are queer
unearthly names in Dickens's stories but
the originals we are told are facts in
London nomenclature. But Dickens never
discovered more unmusical appellations
than those above. . The descendants of
such parentage must be Wabbling Grubbs.

The Legislature failed to make provision
for the payment for the services of judges
of election and the result is that the ser-
vices of corx.petent judges could not be se-
cured and in many places no election was
held and in others when held was not in
accordance with the law and the election
was void. Why didn't the constitutional
convention iwhich undertook everything
discharge this little job?
The loveliest thing in Brenham and that
which makes Rankin's heart go thwickity-
tbwacket and busts the buttons off h'S
jacket is tbe average Brenhaxt girl of tbe
period sailing along down the sidewalk
munching an apple cracking peanuts and
easting eideleng glances at Rankin. It
rankles in Rankin's rantankerous bosom
and the ffanner is poetical in describing tbe
scene.
Hon. John Ireland practices what he
preaches and hates railways and don't
want them to come fooling around bis es-
tates. He baa sued out an injunction to
prevent the passage of Pierce's road through
his broad acres. Such conduct en the part
of Webster and Clay or Calhoun would not
have amazed our race; aad it is eminently
pleasing when men of practical and enlarged
aad liberal views give proper examples to
unthinking multitudes.
W. S. . J. Adams of Comanche who re-
signed his scat in tbe Legislature because
be likes the fun of re-election has been
making the finest speecbee heard in the
West in bthalf of Tilden and Hendricks.
In fact when Adams got out near the Rio
Grande tbe people became so absorbed in
him end his earnest vehement eloquence
that there Wasn't a horse stolen for ten miles
in any direction for some days.
A Mr. S. Jefferson of Ohio visited Cin-
cinnati and came to bis senses in Galveston.
He knows no more than that he left Cincin-
nati with $100 and finds himself in Galves-
ton penniless and .with another fellow's
clothes cn. Galveston isn't exactly a lu-
natic asylnm but it' a good place to land
without money. It is such a nice place to
tret along in without spending anything.
A fellow there may run on the beach a
week and never et sground.
Rock port jollified and torchlighted and
prrceei"ned and the stumpers "congratu-
lated fellow-citizens" in tbe usual heart
rending way and were happy and much
oratory was borne out by the idle winds
to tbe tea. ' They thought tbea that Tilden
bad a sure thing of it. But Rock port has
been reading of the returning board and
Rock port's heart haa sunk down into tbe
seat of its breeches.
John Ecclcs aa old citixeryf Washing-
ton county waa mightily pothered about
Governor Coke and taxes aad the like and
he lock a tod of laulacnm to soothe his
nerves and never waked up any mora. Mr.
Eorle' mode of shuffling off this mortal
coil of taxes and trouble is not eccle-iu-aally
approved but i as comfortable as any
we. know of and therefore there is no
special reason for tears that be cheated the
gnm destroyer out of hi common offices
anifkilled himself.
Tbe Beaton City Erm i edited by aa old
pedagogue. The .Vtr poked fna not long
ago at the Era and now tbe Laiiaist tell
the Xntm of iu moy faulu and moca ig-
norance. It aaya that the Jiaem aeee " -percede!
foe "supersede" tbe twe wore.
" mtperudm 7 and . " tvprrceda " having
wholly different signification. Tbe first
means literally to "ait above" or aa w
vulgarly say to set up." The Xmt bas
been evidently knocked down and some-
body should set it up." The Er.t to use
aaw phrase has "get out a supersedeas."
It was a sharp dodge to invest the Execu-
tive with influence and give him friends
and adherents when not more than twenty
notaries public for each county with rudely
detined power were ordered -to be appointed
by the sleepy Tom Scott Lesri Mature. Everv
land title in Texa will be blurred in ten
year by the acta of these counties notaries.
For a fee many cf thaai will certify care-
lessly and not corruptly any sort of a paper.
No man' land title is safe when notaries
arc nuailerle8s and their powers indefinite
and loose.
The Sherman Iteyuter says that it de-
nounced mercilessly and properly that Aus-
tin correspondent of the Galveston Xtvt
who saw fit in his war on Governor Coke
to "deal in dirty personalities" toward the
editor of the Ergitter. Under the circum
stances we have nothing more to say. We
do poke tun at people aomstimcs and say
rough things affecting their intelligence and
wisdom but never do we indulge in "dirty
personalities" and if the Eegiiter murder
the fellow it is after we haven't a word more
to say.
Hon. E. A. Ptrrenot desires to be held
responsible for all that the Rock port Tran
script says during tho next six weeks.
Luckily for Hon. E. A. P. the Transcript
is not exceedingly loquacious and there ia
no woman in the case and the responsibil-
ity is not aa tremendous as we were led to
suppose when first his portentous card ar
rested our attention. After a good deal of
calm dispassionate deliberation about tbe
matter we caa't see unless the Turco-Rus-
si&n war be involved what mighty compli-
cations and responsibilities the new editor
contemplatea.
They are going to take "local option"
down at Gocziles but have concluded to
have Chrutmas first and since this is to be
the last of tbe sort Rome will howl we
reckon. Tbe people of adjacent counties
are cordially invited to go oown and see it
the last big drunk of Gonstles. Can't
Dallas imitate the glorious example of Gon-
zales? We do not question Dallas's ca-
pacity to go on a final big tare. It does
that every day; but can't Dallas taper off
witn a tremendous drunk: Christmas and
accept local option in January t Its pres-
ent condition and conduct is devilish mo-
notonous. . For tbe benefit of those who do not know
what "manuer of man" the Southern Pres
byterian Church of this city has secured for
their pastor we give place to the following
extract from the Vhruttan Obterner pub-
lished in Louisville and the organ of tbe
Southern Presbyterian Synod ot Kentucky :
"Dr. R. K. Smoot leaves us this week for
Austin Texas. No man was ever more be
loved by a people. On yesterday (Sun lay)
his church was crowded to overflowing and
many bad to go away without being able to
get even standing-room. He and his good
lady have been literally loaded down with
presents as tributes of esteem and affection.
The ladies of the church presented the doc-
tor a splendid gold chronometer watch and
chain of the finest manufacture worth $300.
While it marks the coming time it will re-
mind him of times which are past. We
often wonder if tbe people to whom he
gocsj know what a preacher and pastor they
are to have. His life is bound up in the
history of the church. His noblo deeds and
witness for Christ will ever live in our grati-
fied hearts."
ElHorlal Nwte.
TnE New York Herald noticing the cm
barkation from that city last week of a
colony of negroes for Liberia in charge ol
Bishop Haven says: ''The colored emi
grants were chiefly from South Carolina
and of both sexes. They wore homespun
clothes and appeared a hardy healthy sot
of people ranging in color from lampblack
to mahogany. They seemed to be rather
glad at leaving this land of liberty and
equal rights and no doubt their minds
pictured a future of glowing and perennial
happiness on Afric's sunny strand. Bishop
Haven waa in fine spirits."
But is it not a little singular that negroes
emigrate from South Carolina where Sambo
rises in his boots and exclaims each day
L'etat eV mei when never a black man
abandons Texas on any accoant. Here he
is a cipher in the State and his vote in
Stae elections is not worth a stiver. Here
where he is murdered and beaten and cowed
and crestfallen as the Inter-Ocean paints
the picture he lives and will live forever.
If Bishop Haven believes that the negro is
outraged in person and rights in Texas let
him come even into Wharton county or
stand on ltubertson Hill and preach of exile
and the good churchman will be driven
from Texas by those whom be would die to
serve of course he would but bishops
don't like decayed tggs.
The unique extraordinary ex-United
States Senator and ex-Oovcrnor of Tennes-
see Hon. W. G. Brownlow is always one-
sided to the last degree. He believes him-
self so thoroughly right ' that everybody
differing from him deserves crucifixion.
But whatever his follies and enormities upon
the public stage in private life he is a
faultless citizen. Therefore his boundless
personal popularity in Eastern Tennessee.
His recent letter affecting tbe conduct of
affairs in New Orleans illustrates the true
and not the public character of tbe ' man
when be says that "while he would regard
the election of Ssmuel J. Tilden in the
light of a great national calamity he
would infinitely prefer to see him president
for the next four years with all the dire
consequences of Democratic supremacy in
the government than to see Gov. ' Hayes
made president with tbe aid of a single
fraudulent vote. We may recover from
tbe effects of bad government under par-
tisan Democritic influences but with the
precedent once established of electing a
president with fraudulent votes we are ir-
retrievably mined and our boasted Repub-
lic becomes a farce a hiss and a by-word
among honest men everywhere. We our-
selves lose all respect (or tbe government
and as a matter of course forfeit tbe
respect and confidence of all other civilized
nations. We become worse than Mcxican-
izsd at once."
Uxlkbs money can buy honesty and place
it at tbe disposal of the Returning Board
of Louisiana there is no possibility of fair-
ness in tbe determination of the result in
that State. Tboae boards were instituted
by knaves for their own uses and intended
not to prevent fraudulent elections but tbe
election of honest men. Tbe people were
designed to be disfranchised and the abso-
lute control of thoe State w placed per-
manently in the hand of thooe to whom
the boards owed existence. It aeems from
tbe letter written by Senator Sherman and
hi Republican associates in New Orleana
to ex Senator Trumbull and other Demo-
crat that the Republicans pretend to bave
great respect for these "returning board."
Texkeasee gives about 49000 majority
for Tilden. Porter by a diminished ma-
jority ia re-elected governor. Eight of tbe
Congressmen are Democrats a Ioes of one.
Tbe legislature' which will choose two
United State Senators ban a Democratic
majority of sixty on joint ballot. General
W. B. Bate will be the first Senator chosen
and almost without opposition. Tbe
chance are that ex-Governor L G Harm
will be tbe next: but that candidate . are

Alex. Campoeil. .
It is wholly Incomprehensible and In
credible that now since tbe election tbe
Chicago Inter-Oesam does not pretend to say
that Texan robbed Lincoln' grave. -
