BRENHAM, TEXAS, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1894.
NO. 77
Atwood, Violett & Co.'s Circular.
Special to the Bannf.r :
New Orlkans, April 4. — At-
wood. Violett & Co. aay :
The Liverpool market close* quiet
at 1 to 2 down. Spot sales continue
Tree, being 12,000 bales. Both this
market and New York have ruled
dull at practically unchanged prices.
There is comparatively little doing.
The interior movement continues
light. Ktocks are 91,000 bales short ot
the corresponding period last year.
Port receipts are 38,352 against 36,170
last year. The estimated receipts at
this port to-morrow are 2,000 against
2,022 last year. The general trade
outlook is decidedly more favorable.
Business ot' all kinds evidences a re-
vival. Silver records an advance in
Liverpool to-day of 5-8 and it is quite
probable that we have felt to the full-
est oxtent any depression from that
source. Cables from the other side
show a growing disposition of the
nations to arrive at some satisfactory
bimetallic basis, in fact the 1st of May
has been sot apart in England for the
consideration of this subject.
Wheat shows a sharp advance in
Chicago to-day, prices for May reach-
ing 03 1-8 and it has only been a weok
or 10 days when that mont^h was
ruling at 57 1-2 and then that com-
modity was comparatively friendless.
While there is no identity between
wheat and cotton, their position as to
price is not altogether dissimiliar and
a sharp reaction in cotton from these
prices may occur at any time.
The spot demand continues good
and the press stocks here are some
110,000 bales less than last year, with
but little in the country to draw from.
Spot market here to-dav closed easy
at unchanged prices. Hales 3,000.
We carry zinc, copper, galvanized
and marbleized bath tubs all sizes in
stock. All kinds of repairing and
water works put in at short notice.

Special to the Bunner :
Chicago, III., April 4.—Wheat
opened very strong from 1 to 1 3-8
cents over Monday's close, the feature
being the continued drought in Kan-
sas. Market Monday sold at 61 but
dropped off to 61 3-8, remaining steady
for au hour around 61!. Home scalp-
ers during this time took the short
side, and when the Washington bu-
reau predicted continued dry weather
over the west there was a rush to
cover. The country began to send in
* crop damage reports and accompanied
same with good buying orders, then
began to advance rapidly, many
touching 62 7-8, Here realizing orders
caused a reaction to 62 1-2, but only
for a moment and prices again quietly
advanced § cents, later declining that
amount and remaining very nervous
between 62\ and 63 the remainder of
the session. While the market has
been governed almost entirely by
crop scare some very bad reports being
received from the San Joaquin Valley
in Calif and other places the small
ships from Baltic and Sundry ports
amounting to less than two million
bushels were bullish. These ship-
ments for the past month have been
quite light, but on the other hand the
report given out by the secretary ot
agriculture stating that our exporta-
ble surplus (after allowing for home!
wants) from March 1st to July 1st I
would be 60 million bushels was very |
bearish but apparently had had no ef-
fect on the market, the condition of
the growing crop absorbing the atten-
tion of speculators. Cables all day
were very strong:, especially closing
ones.
Com and oats have been 1km, but
dull.
Provisions participated in the ad-
vance, opening strong on the light
stocks 75,750 barrels pork.
1450 tiers lard and 8,618,334 pounds
short ribi. Shorts Monday became
good buyers and assisted by the bulge
in wheat market rapidly advanced to
12 12J for pork and 605 for ribs. Pork
eased off a little, but lard and ribs re-
mained firm.

The "Two Johns" Coming.
Jno. C. Stewart's "Two Johns" are
coming and will be the next attrac-
tion at the Grand, and lovers of
laughter should not miss the funniest
of all farce comedies which has weath-
ered the storms of a dozen years.
Everything about the Two Johns is
new and up to date. Quinn Phillips
and W. B. Murray are the actors who
play the "heavy" parts of the Two
Johns, and John A. McDonald, whoso
little form tips the scales at 451
pounds, will impersonate tho police-
man and waiter. Tho story of the
play is too well-known to need repeti-
tion. It tells a plain, straightfor-
ward tale of the funny adventures
which befall two cousins whoso re-
semblance is so striking as to make
them modern but exceedingly fat
Dromios. Philip Johns and Peter
Johns are of different temperaments
but of remarkable facical and bodily
likeness. One has a tendency to make
love to every pretty woman in sight
and run up bills while the other is an
honest and well to-do citizen. The
mistakes of fair women and creditors
make an evening full of fun, and the
very fact that tho Two Johns have
amused the public for a dozen years
testifies to its great popularity.
As a side diversion new and most
intertaining specialties liavo been in-
troduced. Miss Frances Grey, a beau-
tiful and graceful danseuse, will intro-
duce her new and much commented
whirlwind skirtdance. Songs, dances,
etc., will bo given by Harrington and
Aubrey; Fred Barr and his banjo
help to pass away a few minutes over-
flowing with laughter, and tho
Clerisse Sisters who play on the violin
autoharp and mandolin, besides sing-
ing new and popular ballads, never
fail to make a decided hit.
THEY OA N'T ESCAPE.
The liver when active is the
watch-dog of the system —the
destroyer of germs and impuri-
ties. The truth is: ninety-uine
out of every hundred diseases
begin with a sluggish liver. A
slight cold or chill may amount
to something serious. If you
correct the liver you'll cure the
cold. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel-
lets rouse the liver to vigor-
ous action. After dinner,
if you're bilious, take one
of these tiny, sugar-coated
Pellets. Take them when
you have wind or pain in
stomach, giddiness, full-
ness, loss of appetite, or
when you suffer from cos-
tiveness, indigestion, sick
or bilious headaches.
The makers take the risk
of their benefiting you. If
they're not satisfactory,
your money is refunded.

The Great Cause of Bad Politics.
There is probably nothing from
which the public service of tho coun-
try suffers more than the silence of
its educated class—that is, the small
amount of criticism which comes
from disinterested and competent
sources. It is a very rare thing for
an educated man to say anything
publicly about the questions of the
day. He is absorbed in science or
art or literature, in the practice of
his profession or in the conduct of
his business, and if he has any inter-
est at all in the questions of the day
it is a languid one. He is silent be-
cause ho has not much care, or be-
cause he does not wish to embarrass
the administration or "hurt the par-
ty," or because he does not feel that
anything he could say would make
nyich difference.—E. L. Godkin in
Forum.
Mr. Myatt Has Skipped Out.
Since tho Banner published an in-
terview with Mr. W. L. Myatt,
charged with attempt to bribe Dis-
trict Attorney Mayuard, officere here
have been oxpecting him to come in
and surrender, but he has not shown
up yet. Sheriff Teague received a let-
ter from him Wednesday, which was
mailed on tho Santa Fe train aud he
was heard of on a freight from which
he was ejected at Somerville. but his
whereabouts now is a matter of specu-
lation.
Deputy Sheriff It. L. Greer, of
Grimos county, came in yesterday
looking for him, having learned of his
departure in this direction from Nava-
sota, and said that he was after him
and would like very much to arrest
him, but he had not been found last
night.
One of tho gentlemen who proposed
to go on his bond was iu the city
Tuesday, but as the other did not
turn up he perhaps being doubtful
about being able to give bond, de-
cided not to give up yet.
He could not have given bond any-
way until Judge Sinks returned, as
he would have to enter into a recog-
nizance in open court, and having
been an officer he knew this, hence
his failure to come up, though the offi-
cers don't have much idea that iie
will surrender until cornered where
he can't avoid it.
/fhe I'ied Crows of Scotland.
Iu Scotland crows aro sometimes
seen with white feathers. One that
I particularly remember had a white
head and a white tail feather, irregu-
larly marked. These birds are called
pies and are very teachable. They
are not, however, easily procured.—

Chosen by Her Feet.
A "Longfellow toe" is a new fea-
ture of church festivals. Each girl
briugs a basket, which is numbered,
with chicken, pie and cake enough
for two. Each young man pays a
quarter. He is allowed to look at
the contents of tho baskets and
chooses one by its number. Then he
goes to a curtain behind which the
girls aro seated, with their feet pro-
truding. He picks out a desirable
foot, writes tho number on it, and
then eat« out of the basket bearing
the number and in company with the
owner of the pedal extremity which
has the duplicate on it.-Shoe and
Leather Reporter.

A Cry for Help
In the stillness of the night is suffi-
ciently startling. What if no aid be
at haud or we know not wheuce the
cry comes? This is not the case with
that mute appeal made to the re-
sources of medical science, ever ready,
ever available by disease on every
hand. A prompt means of self help
for the malarious, the rheumatic, the
dyspeptic, the billious and persons
troubled with impending kidney com-
plaints, is to be found in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, au ever "present
help in time of trouble" for all such
hapless individuals. They should not
delay a moment in seeking its aid.
Experience has shown its wide utility
the recommendation of eminent phy-
cians everywhere sanction its use.

Liniment cured him of rheumatism. Why
not try it? It will surely do you good. It
cures all inflammation, wounds, sores, cut3,
sprains, etc. Sold by It. E. Luhn.
