of Vitalitas which I had been induced
to try, when gall stones in great num-
bers suddenly began passing from me.

astonishing. With their passing prac-

Two Immense audinces were enter-
tained here yesterday by the Ringling
Brothers' Circus. Hundreds, and even
thousands, came on the trains from
surrounding towns, and other thou-
sands came from the farms of Travis
Countv by private conveyance.
It is a safe statement, that the show
fulfilled all expectations so far as the
merit of the acts was concerned, and
in some respects exceeded the reason-
able hopes of the audience. The per-
formance of the Saxon trio of strong
men was trulv marvelous, as were those
of the Anderson Brothers, aerial perch
performers, and the feats of a quar-
tet of acrobats composed of two men
and two women. The tight wire offer-
ings were extremely pleasing both on
account of. Le .skill of the performers
and the georgousness of their cos-
tumes. The trained animal acts, the
trapeeze performances and the funny
meh all came in for their meed of
praise.
The Joan of Arc spectacle with which
the circus began was splendid in its
tinsel and color, and was truly an im-
posing pageant displaying the charac-
ters and costumes associated with the
historic episode from which the spec-
tacle takes its name.

night of August 18. Dr. Maverick
was shot while defending his family
and a white servant girl from a vi-
cious attack by the negro. Johnson'
went to his death without showing a

He addressed a crowd of several
hundred from the scaffold, expressing
sorrow for the crime, and assisted
