. Galveston, October 1,1886.
A group of five or six citizens occupied
a prominent corner when the apparent
annimation of the discussion attracted
an Evening Tribune missionary. The
group consisted of a couple of Mar-
ket street merchants, a capitalists a
Strapd merchant, a contractor, a promi-
nent railr ad man, and one or more
others. The conversation was on the
manner of distributing the supplies to the
sufferers of the recent oveiflow. This
subject, having been thoroughly dis-
cussed the conversation turned on local
politics. “There is a world of buncombe
in this cry of rotation in office,” remarked
a prominent business man. “How would
that theory apply in business? Suppose
a business house should adopt the plan
of changing employes every two years,
what would be the result? There is but
one answer—
COMMERCIAL RUIN.
The same mle should apply to all county
offices. It is to the best intereQt of the
public that no change be made -o long as
an officer discharges his duties faithfully
and well. There is but one change de-
manded in the present personel of the
county officials and that is in the office of
sheriff. This change is not demanded so
much because the present incumbent has
not discharged his official duties satis-
factorily as for the reason that more or
less responsibility attaches to him for the
shameful election fraud of two years ago.
Whether this responsibility is jus1 ly or
j unjustly placed does not matter, it is so
' placed quite generally by public opinion
and the fact that there is even a suspicion
demands a change, and when a change is
demanded we naturally turn to someone
who is most nearly fitted by experience
for the duties of the office. For this
rtason M. M. Jordan is generally en-
dorsed for the change that is demanded.
Passing to the office of county clerk, who
is prepared to say there is an aspirant for
the position who could take hold of the
intricate and responsible affairs of this
office and discharge them as satisfactorily
as the present incumbent, Mr. Wren?
This is one of the most
RESPONSIBLE OFFICES
in the county. It is an offiee that every
resident of the county has occasion to
visit more or less. What would a greeu
man do in this office? Is it demanded
that there should be a change because
Vlr. Wren has not proven a competent
and faithful officer? No, a change is
demanded because somebody else wants
the job. You are all business men
and I will ask who of you would dis-
charge a tried and competent clerk to
make room for a stranger who might
stan I at the door and ask for the faithful
employe’s place? You would not—most
assuredly you would not. Then why
would you do as a voter and a citizen
what you would not do as a business man?
The same argument applies with equal
force to the offices of tax collector and
treasurer. Has not Nick Weekes made a
good tax collector? Are not the affairs
of his office conducted to the entire satis-
faction of the public? Then why should
rhere be a change? The omy reason that
can possibly be advanced is that some
body wants the job. It is not claimed
that any of the aspirants would make a
better collector than the present incum-
bent, so if there is a demand fur a change,
which there is not, it can only be to get
some one in and Weekesout. This is
equally true of the present incumbent of
the office of treasurer. It may be true
that he has offended some men by taking
a strong
STAND AGAINST LAWLESSNESS
and anarchy, but what he would loose be-
cause of this he would more than regain
in the appreciation of conservative peo-
ple. No one asserts that he has not made
a competent official; that he has not dis-
charged his duties satisfactorily. Those
who want him out do so because they want
somebody else in. Iu no case cited is
the honesty or competency of the present
incumbents questioned, except in the one
case mentioned. In every case it is a de-
mand for other, not more honorable or
more competent officials But there will
be no change except in the instance men-
tioned. There is too much business sense
in public sentiment iu this county. They
will stick to the man whom they have
tried and found honest and capable.”
This opinion from beginning to end was
most heartily concurred in. One gentle-
man remarked that he had intended to
vote for auother man than the present in
cumbent lor treasurer but looking at the
situation in that light he would cast his
vote as he ha 1 two years ago.
HOGAN HAMPERED.
Madison Hngan had succeeded in win-
ning the affections ot Annie, wile of
Jessie Reese. When upbraided about
his conduct he threatened to do up any
man who would interfere with his illicit
love. This caused Jim Reese to ask that
Hogan be put under peace bund which on
a hearing of the evidence by Recorder
Fontaine was done, the bond being fixed
at $50.

TH3 RELIEF COMMITTEES.
They are Steadily at Work at Galveston,
Beaumont and Orange.
A telegram was received in this city
this morning directing that shipment of
such supplies as may be in the hands of
Messrs. Mil'er, Cannon & < 'o , or the
committees, be made to Beaumont. This
would indicate that the conference com-
mittee had decided upon making that
city the distributing point. The an-
nouncement from Beaumont that an in-
vestigating committee, similar to the oue
formed here after the fire, had been or-
ganized at that point to determine who
were the proper recipients of aid and to
what extent, would indicate that the
views of the sub-committee sent from
here had been adopted. The work of
the ladies as reported in yesterday’s
Evening Tribune has been of great
good and will still be continued. That
of the gentlemen of course will not cease
until all are provided for. Seventy-three
more sufferers from Johnson’s Bayou were
added to those at Orange yesterday in
addition to the fourteen who arrived the
day previous. Thus it will be seen nearly
a hundred more, as destitute as previous
arrivals, have been added to those who
must be taken care of at once. A little
thought will show the magnitude of the
work that yetr remains to be done, and it
is to be hoped that no one who can con-
tribute his mite, however small, will fail
to do so. In this connection Evening
Tribune suggests that a collection be
taken up in every church in the city
to-morrow for the benefit of the suffer-
ers. Some of them have already con-
tributed freely but a second call upon
the congregations will do no harm.
MISS LIZZIE EVANS.
Sunday.and‘Monday Nights and Monday
Matinee.
Among all the soubrettes on the Ameri
can stage there is none more charming <~r
captivating than Lizzie Evans. This
bright little star will play an engagement
of two nights, commencing on Sunday
night next, and will open in her p ipular
comedy of “Fogg’s Ferry.” By request
there will be a matinee performance od
Monday afternoon, when Fogg’s Ferry
will be repeated. Miss Evans will close
the engagement on Monday night in her
romantic comedy, “Sea SaDds.” Miss
Evans appeared here some three years
ago and established herself a decided fa-
vorite with our theatre goers. Since then
she has been starring in Fogg’s Ferry and
other dramas with remarkable success,
and is rated by the cities one of the best
soubrettes on the stage, and by some the
equal of either Lottie, Annie Pixley or
Maggie Mitchell. Miss Evans has sur-
rounded herself this season with an ex-
cellent company, and during the per-
formance will introduce sevetal new
songs, dances, medleys, etc. “Fogg’s
Ferry and Sea Sands will be presented
with special Dew scenery.
THEY SAY
That Cuney is loaded for another occa-
sion ;
That the ticket is loosing its grip
rapidly;
That Brice Gardner is fattening at
Lampasas;
That three men on the ticket will prob-
ably be elected;
That Brann is bulging night and day
along with his play;
That Fontaine is making .a good can-
vass for county judge;
That J. Lee Burton contemplates mak-
ing the race for the legislature;
That Walter Gresham will receive 5000
out of the 6500 vo’es cast for the legis-
lature;
That Oliver will be elected by a larger
majority than Frank Spencer was two
years ago;
That Democratic mass meetings to en-
dorse that ticket are getting to be few
and far between;
That as complete a list as possible of
the subscribers to the ladies’ relief fund
should be published;
That Chairman Sha w furnished enough
nuts to keep the candidates busy crack-
ing during the campaign;
That Dallas, Fort Worth and several
other villages in North Texas were much
more enthusiastic iu endorsing Sabine
Pass as the only place on the coast for
a deep water harbor than they are in
forwarding aid to the sufferers there;
THE MAGEODEK BENEFIT.
The Magruder Monument Association
has engaged Harmony Hal! for the benefit
tendered it by Mr. W. C. Brann. This
gentleman is now bard at work drilling
his company for the event. The first
stage rehearsal will take place on Mon-
day evening next and the en ertainment
as soon thereafter as its preparation can
he made complete. From information
Evening Tribune has received it has no
doubt that the entertainment and the
play itself will prove an entire success.
A home-writteu play, presented by home
talent is a treat Dot often offered our cit-
izens und they will doubtless show their
appreciation of it iu a substantial manner.
SKIPPED THE CITY,
Another Representative of a Wealthy
English Family Bobs a Letter.
About three months ago a young man
made his appearance in Fort Worth, and
gave his came as J. Murray Ironsides.
He said that he hud a very wealthy aunt
in England to spend the surp'us of whose
enormous income it was his especial mis-
sion. JOst at that especial time, however,
the said aunt had been a trifle dilatory in
forwarding the regular remittance, and
he was a trifle short. He accepted a
position as advertising solicitor upon the
Hotel Reporter, whieh place he filled
uutil he got a couple of hundred from
some source, which he immediately pro-
ceeded to blow in and became a promi-
nent patron of the White Elephant saloon
of that city. In one evi ning he spent
ABOUT FIFTY FOR WINE.
He kept himself prominently before the
eyes of the public for a day or two, when
he disappeared from the longing eyes of
the barkeepers. The next known of him
he was seen in this city driving a furniture
float for a second-hand store. From that
position he promoted himself to a car
car driver upon one of the street railways,
and from that seems to have drifted into
the employ of Messrs. Marx & Kempner,
by whom he was entrusted, a few days
ago to mail a registered letter to a party
at Sandy, in Blanco county. This he
ostensibly did. Subsequent develop-
ments show that he did
A LITTLE QUIET MANIPULATION
before he returned the receipt for the let-
ter to his employers. The money was
intended for a Mr. J. F. Harrison, but
young Ironsides thought he could im-
prove on i's destination, so he transferred
the $200 from the letter to his pocket
and placing the letter in another envelope
redirected it to J. F. Harris, and took a
regular receipt from the registry clerk. A
dexterous stroke or two of the pen made
an H of the F and added “ou” to the
terminal of the name and the receipt, ap
parently all right, was returned to the
firm. The letter went, to its destination
at Blanco and, of course, remained un
called for, but it appears Mr. Harrison
was awaiting the receipt of his money
and thinking the Farris letter might be
for him he opened it in presence of wit-
nesses. liis surmise was correct. The
enclosed letter was duly addressed to him
but as before said the
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS HAD DISAPPEARED
The letter was returned to Messrs. Marx
& Kempner for investigation. The re-
ceipt was looked up and a cursory exam
inatiou showed bow the thing had been
worked. Inquiries were at once insti-
tuted for J. Murray but thus far have
failed to eiicit his whereabouts. War-
rants have been issued and the officers in
several portions of the state notified to be
on the lookout for the young blood with
a wealthy English aunt.
-«.-
DID NOT DO IT.
Mrs. Bell Lawrence is a member of a
colored church and was arres ed for dis
tuibing public worship. She was ar
raigued this morning in the recorder’s
court. The charge was a serious one,
but the defendant had no trouble in
proving that the charge bordered very
closely on the malicious. A colored man
who was acting in the capacity of special
officer was the complainant and his tes-
timony did not show the woman guilty
of the grave offence charged and she was
promptly dismissed.
THE LIGHT GUARD’S HOP.
The entertainment given by the Artil-
lery Light Guard at Artillery Hall last
night was quite numerously attended.
The entertainment was opened about 9
o’clock by vocal and instrumental music,
recitations, etc., at the conclusion of
which the company gave their prize drill.
At the conclusion of the drill dancing
was begun, which continued UDtil an
early hour this morning. Every one who
was present voted the evening an entire
success.
Weak Kidney si
| Diseased Kidneys !
j Inflamed Kidneys!
INDICATIONS.
Lame back, weak back, sleep
unrefreshing, pain in the side, short
breath, easily imitated, frequent
and painful passing of urine,
ringing in the ears, eyes sunken,
face pallid, gloomy and despond-
ent, nervous and fretfid.
CA USE.
Inability of the kidneys to
properly perform the duty of sift-
ing and separating the waste and
refuse matter produced by the
destruction of tissue, which is
constantly going on in the system.
ONLY SURE CURE.
BROWN’S IRON BITTERS.
RESULT OF NEGLECT.
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes,
Gravel, Inflammation of the
Bladder, Bright's Disease.
Does this not cause you to halt?
To examine your own condition
and discover if you are not ne-
glecting indications which point
straight to a diseased condition
of your kidneys ? A poisoned
condition of the blood, accom-
panying the inability of weak kid-
neys to separate and throw off the
poisonous elements can be cured
by the careful and persistent use of
BROWN’S IRON BITTERS.
The action of Brown's Iron Bit-
ters is through the blood and the
stomach, directly upon the disor-
ganized filtering processes of the
kidneys. Remember that the
nerves of the kidneys are directly
connected with the whole nervous
system and the brain, and most
direful results will accrue from
continued neglect of diseases of
the kidneys. Nervous prostration
and disease of the brain are sure to
follow such neglect. You cannot
be too careful of this remarkable
and important organ of the
human system.
Use Brown’s Iron Bitters
at the slightest hint your kidneys
give you that you have violated
some law of health. The tonic
and alterative properties of this
pure vegetable medicine make it
the only remedy it is safe for
you to use when your kidneys
are out of order. Take
BROWN’S IRON BITTERS
and you will no longer be de-
spondent and fretful.. Your face
will resume its healthy appearance,
your eyes their accustomed bril-
liancy, pains in the back and sides
will disappear, your sleep will be-
come more restful and refreshing,
and your Oh J my back ! Oh ! my
kidneys ! will give place to expres-
sions of joy that you have found
the cure for all kidney diseases.
Don’t be deceived by imitations.
Ask for the genuine Brown's Iron
Bitters and take no other. Trade-
mark and crossed red lines on the
wrapper of every bottle. Price
only one dollar. Prepared by
Brown Chemical Co., Balt., Md.
REPENTED, BUT TOO LATE.
Sallie Spencer charged Bob Carter
with assault and battery. The testimony
was positive, and the recorder held Bob
in a bond of $500 to appear before the
criminal court. This bond Bob could
not give, and when Sallie saw her Bob
marched off to jail she repented, but it
was too late—the law had to take its
course—the edict had gone forth.
WENT TO JAIL.
Ed. Dow, who had a little pistol prac-
tice on Green Owens yesterday morning,
particulars of which appeared in Evening
Tribune yesterday, had an examination
before Judge Fontaine this morning and
was bound over in the sum of $500 to
appear before the criminal court. He
went to jail.
A NEW PAPER.
A new paper, issued by the Democratic
Executive Committee, made iis appear-
ance on the streets this afternoon. It is
styled “Public Sentiment,” and hears
editorial ear marks of Chairman Shaw.
The committee will find there will be no
change in public sentiment.
HAD TO PAY COSTS.
Chas. McQuade charged Eliza Clark
with having oelted him in the eye with a
bludgeon or something. When the case
was called this morning Charles refuse I
to prosecute, and when the costs was
taxed against him he went away a sad-
der, though possibly wiser man—as to
future complainants.
