Arrested for Theit.
Detective John Chenneville yesterday ar-
rested a man sailing under the enphonions
and alliterative cognomen of John Jones.
He was not arrested so much on account of
his name as it was beoaose he was oharged
with having stolen a watch from A. K.
Robertson who is employed as a oook Bt
the oonnty jail. The watch is valued at
$16 and as Mr. John Jones now languishes
in duranoe vile he will have ample time to
ponder npon the uses and abuses of pro-
crastination. Court of Appeals.
The court of appeals decided the follow
cases yesterday: -'

Lennan county; allirmed.

The Montopohs Bridge.
It was expeoted that Judge Braoken-
ridge would announce his decision yester-
day in regard to the acceptance or re-
jection of the Montopolis bridge by the
oonnty and the numerous inquiries heard
npon the streets in regard to the matter
showed the very geiierul interest
that is taken by the citizens of
Austin in this matter. The popular im-
pression seems to be that the bridge is
not above the high water mark of 1861)
and public sentiment seems to be largely
against the aooeptanoe of the bridge.
Judge Braokeridge was confined to his
bed yesterday by sickness and therefore
nnable to attend the session of the com-
missioners' court and the bridge mutter
was postponed until the next term of the
court.

LOVE AND LOCKSMITHS;
Or How Tom Kiogsley Aided the
Nuptials of a Young Couple.
Throughout this broad land of Texas
there is not a newspaper man who does
not know the genial Tom Mngsiy travel-
ing passenger agent of the Louisville and
Nashville railway colonel lom at ne is
familiarly known by the boys of the press
Btands six feet in his sandals and although
the froftsof a few leap years have left a
faint glimmer of their sheen npon the
dome of his thought he has
np to this good day avoided successfully
all entangling alliances of a matrimonial
natcre. Dire tradition however speaks
of a time when tne gallant oolonel then a
boy went barefooted and loved a browu-
ejed girl in the blue grata region of oU
Kentucky. The young girl grew np like
all young girls will do in time but some-
how the wealth of her affection was be
stowed npon the other fellow and Colonel
Tom packed his grip and left that land Of
eourmasb. This little episode in the Col
ouels early history has in no manner sonred
his sunny disposition but it has rather
created in his breast a tender sympathy
for all who mayhap get winged by Cupid's
dart. Thus in his travels it is frequently
his pleasure to render assistance to young
couples who are fleeing from the wrath of
some angry parent in search of a pair of
marriage licenses and his invaluable ex-
perience in assisting others was happily
illustrated yesterday morning. He was a
passenger on the train from San Antonio
due here at 9:30 o'clook and he notioed a
young couple get on the train
at San Marcos Getting into
conversation with the young man he
learned what he had before supposed than
they were avoiding parental authority.
The young man said his name was John
H. Bass and that of his fiance Mary J.
Morgan and soon Colonel Tom had been
made the confident of the young man.
"Well" said the general passenger agent
to the young man "you oome and go on to
Austin and I will see you through. I am
not a married man myself and if these
irate parents want to shoot anybody why
just let them shoot me. You go with me
to Austin and 1 will be your best man
and see that you are duly married." Young
Bass oonsulted with his nance and they
decided that Colonel Tom would do to tie
to and accordingly they oame on to this
city. Arriving here Colonel Tom shoul-
dered his umbrella and with his charge
following close in his wake mitrohed to
the oourt house where a marriage license
was procured. Ihen the assi&tanoe of
Justice George Calhouu was invoked and
thus the nuptial knot was tied that noth-
ing save a divoroo suit can put BRunder.
"I'll tell jou what said Tom rungiey to
a Statkhuan reporter yesterday afternoon
as he shivered and called for a milk shake
"you may talk about happiness being de-
picted upon a man's countenance but I
never saw it more intensely emphasized
than glowed upon this young man's faoe
after Justice Calhoun had pronounoed
them one. I felt fully repaid for all the
trouble I had taken."
Quaker Supper.
The young people had quite a jolly
time last night at Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mil
ler's who gave a Quaker supper in honor
of Misses Mattie Nichols end Alma Miller
who leave the city for Balliuger this morn-
ing. The following were present: Misses
Iluttie Large Mary Granbury and Viva
Sooggins. Messrs. C. Orauburry H. B.
Granburry M. A. Dawson W. H. Ains-
worth W. H. Maddox and J. A. Pannell.
FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
The Lucky Number.
Seventy was the luoky number that
drew the sewing machine at the raille for
the benefit of tho German-American La-
dies' Aid society and it was held by Mrs.
Wm. Keyes. The sooiety has an energetio
set of officers and is in good trim to do
its good work.
Seeking His Fathor.
Postmoflter Johnson has reoeived a let-
ter from Wm. H. Swartz of Massillon O.
making inquiries after one Henry Bollig
a .German by birth. The writer says that
Bollig came to Austin from Louisville in
1874 and the last heord of him he was
farming about five miles south of this oity
near a stage line. The writer says that
Bollig is his adopted father and that be
would like to hear from any one who can
give him any information about the miss-
ing parent.
urops in tho West.
Mr. S. H. Johnson journal olerk in the
senate of the last legislature returned to
the city yesterday from Hasktll oounty
where he had been since the adjournment
of the legislature. He reports cattle in
the west iu excellent condition the loss
during the winter and spring bting very
small. Fine rains had fallen and the
range is fine. Crop prospects are also
splendid. Small grain is looking remark-
ably well while the corn crop is unusually
promising. Mr. Johnson has returned
for the purpose of computing the work
of indexing the senate journals and will
be occupied abont three weeks on this
work.
County Tax Rolls.
Collector MorriV county tax rolls for
the past year make the following excellent
showing:
The delinquent list shows ad valorem
tax $165.40 against $302.41 for the year
before.
School tax $207.88 against $181.65 the
year before.
Poll tax $27(50 against $2632 the year
Ooonpation taxes oclleoted $19209.50
against f 140-to me year oeiore.
This is an eioillent exhibit for the col-
lector and his assistants as well as a good
showing of the prosperity of Travis
oounty.
The correct way is to bay goods from
the manufacturer when possible. The
Elkhart Carriage and Harness Manufac-
turing company of Elkhart Ind.have no
agents. They make first-class. Ship

This remedy is becoming so well known
and so popular as to need no special men-
tion. All who have nsed Electric Bitters

AUSTIN WEEKLY STATESilAN. THURSDAY. MAY 9 1889
Senator Evarts' Log Cabin.
Senator Evarts has ereoted an old fash-
ioned Log Cabin on an elevated point of
land which he lately purohased on the
Potomao just below Washington.
It is nyioh more elegant in its finish
and appointments than were the homes of
our ancestors in the Log Cabin days of
long ago but probably not more oondu-
oive to oomfort.
Outside it presents the appearance of
the typical old fashioned house of the
pioneers being built of logs hewn in the
Bdjaoent forest and raised and chinked in
the olden style. The interior will be fin-
ished in native woods from the place but
unlike the primitive original it will be
finished in oil.
This is luxury to which the dwellers in
the rude Cabins of early days dared not
aspire it being pure luxury and not add-
ing to the oomfort of the domioile.
Senator Evarts began the Log Cabin last
summer with the determination that if
General Harrison were eleoted he would
reverse the popular campaign axiom of
half b century ago "From the Log Cabin
to the White House" to a social axiom of
the new administration "From the White
House to the Log Cabin."
Harrison was successful; Senator Evarts'
new old-fashioned Log Cabin will doubt-
less also prove a grtat suooess. Many a
happy day's suroease from the toils and
oares of his great station our Log Cabin
president will no doubt enjoy beneath its
hospitable roof as the guest of tlje genial
senior senator from New York.
Great as the suooess may be that attends
the introduction of this old-timejog cabin
to fashionable lire it oanuot be greater
than the suooess which has attended the
introduction of Warner's Log Cabin Sar-
saparill" one of the old-time effective
remedies tae use of whioh in primitive
times gave our grand-parents health and
rugged old age.
Senator Evart's log cabin is but another
evidence of the tendency in fashionable
life at present so marked towards things
primitive and antiquated. The new
fashion is for things old-fashioned and a
return to the old-fashioned roots and
herbs remedies of log cabin days is noted
with pleasure as their common use does
not permanently injure the system as the
use of the mineral drugs of modern medi-
cal practice does.
AUSTIN & NORTHWESTERN
Annual Election of Officers The
Road Not for Sale.
The annual election ot officers and a
board of dirootors of the Austin and
Northwet-tern railway was held at the com-
pany's office iu this oity yesterday. The
old officers and board were re-elected as
follows: President- Joseph Oollett of
Terre Haute Ind.; vice-president W. H
Westfall of Burnet; treasurer W. B
Isharn of New York; secretary A. L
Rhomberg of Austin. Board of directors:
Joseph Collett of Indiana; H. A. V. Post
of New York; W. H. Westfall of Burnet;
A. P. Wooldndge John Hancook and A
N. Leitnaker of Austin.
The nffairs of the oompauy were found
in excellent condition and the road doing
well under the good management of
Superintendent Leitnaker. The States
man takes ileasure in Btating antrum
tavely that there is no truth whatever in
the report that the road has been sold out
to the Central. In faot no suoh step is
contemplated bat on the contrary the
present judicial management makes it
safe to say the road will oontinue to be
improved until its facilities are equal to
any in the south.

MAY-DAY AT LOCKHART.
An Interesting Fete Given Under
the Auspices of the Fire Boys.
Special Correspondence of the Statesman.
Lookbabt May 1.
The Qrand May-day oelebration given
under the auBpioes of the Lookhart Hook
and Ladder company was tne most auspi-
cious event of the season and - was
heartily participated in by the fire de
partment and a bevy of young ladies of
San Maroos and many gallant sons and
fair daughters of Luting. The fete
ohampetre was held in the amphitheatre
of verdure adjaoent to the Blount park
with its purling springs rippling lakelets
and danoing rostrum. The table was
spread al a fresco with everything dainty
and deleotable such as would fascinate the
fancy and regale the taste.
The Lookhart baud discoursed sweet
music interspersed with some eloquent
addresses the orator of the day being
Col. A B. Storey who possesses in suoh
an eminent degree that peculiar talent
requisite for a neat pithy graceful and
well-turned address oharaoteristio of his
sallieB of wit and gay repartee. He was
followed by Doctor White the divine who
spoke in glowing terms of the firemen
"who ought to be warm friends consider
ing the element with whioh
they had to contend; that
his avooation was en rapport with
those who were opposed to fire and at the
ohuroh that night he wonld wage war with
the fiercest antagonist end hery element
ever to be aontended with."
Mr. R. Wilson who holds down the
editorial tripod addressed the "Flame-
fighters of the warm and gallant
brotherhood" whose zeal and brother-
ly feeling served to foster that
esprit da corps whioh is so essential to
that grand alhanoe witti bat one toe.
that they instead of throwing tho oold
water iuorudations of formality on that
festive fire were in brilliant en rapport
with the gala commemorative occasion
and dispensing sunshine.
Mayor Alex Coweu with a hospitable
greeting to the viri lag fire company
waived all oeremony and yielded posses
sion "that they might play Ned and
paint the town red" and congratulated
all on the sooial delight whioh prevailed

Tells Us "What We Should Do
In the Springtime
To Resist the Debilitating Effects
Of the Heat
And to Ward Off the Biliousness
Headaches
And Various Other Inflammations
' Disorders and Diseases
That so Commonly Afflcts mankind
During Early Summer.
Of all the seasons of the year spring is
the time when the system is most gener
ally disordered and debilitated and in
most need therefore ot tne aiu or some
good medioine to at once regulate and
strengthen it. The blood of nine persons
out of every ten is in a miserable state of
impurity at this time and this is tne seat
of the whole trouble. When the head
aohes when the appetite is poor when one
has that wretched "tired feeling" together
with an offensive breath and a frequent
tendency to sudden attacks of peculiar
dizziness it simply means that the blood
is out ot order and needs purifying. It
means also that a tonio is necessary to
fortify the weakened system against the
debilitating effeots of warm weather fol
lowing so closely upon the bracing air of
winter. For the benefit of those who are
suffering in thts way and who are likely
to become despondent beoause they do
not understand the nature of their
troubles and do not know what to do to
get rid of them Dr. S. B. Hartman the
oelebrated physioian and surgeon whose
name is familiar to all and whose re-
markable suooess in his profession has
qualified him to speak with authority on
matters pertaining to diseases and dis-
orders of every kind has taken the trouble
to explain the cause of these spring and
early summer troubles and to give hiB
advice as to what to do to prevent them
in the first place and to get rid of them in
the second plaoe in oase they do appear.
For the benefit of the public therefore he
has furnished the following statement:
During the winter the circulation of the
blood is sluggish and is confined prin-
cipally to the internal organs while the
skin is but foebly supplied with the life-
giving fluid as a consequence or mis
unequal distriontion or ine uiooa tne se-
cretions of the internal organs beoome
overcharged with the impurities of the
system that should have been discharged
through the pcres of the skin. It is dur-
ing the months of April and May the very
months when Mother Earth is budding
and blossoming into vernal beauty when
the balmy air is filled with freshness and
with fragrance; at this very time when
the faoe of Nature is putting on its sweet-
est and most winsome smile and when
Life itself drawing new inspiration from
the overflowing exuberance of Nature
should be most abounding and most joy-
ous that Biliousness Congestion Rheu-
matism Inflammations and Neuralgias
make their unwelcome appearance to rack
the body with pain and darken the heart
with shadows. No one however need
worry in anticipation of such attacks
for they oan all be avoided by a coarse of
gentle medication with Pe-ru na and Man-a-lin
remedies that need no introduction
to the public as they are everywhere rec
ognized as standard medicines. Pe-ru-ca
will expel the winter aooumulation of im
purities tbrougb tne pores ot tne sKin
equalize the circulation of the blood and
in (his way prevent all suoh diseases. If
already aiilinted with them Fe-ru-na will
break np the irritation and congestion
allay the pain and build np the system to
its normal aotive condition. At the same
time the Man-a-lin will arouse the aotion
of the Liver and Kidneys and expel
through the Bowels the impurities of those
organs. There is no need therefore of
anyone worrying for fear that he will be
attacked or of becoming despondent be
cause he is attaoked for in Pe-ru-na and
Man-a-lin he has both preventive end
cure. They are truly a great power and
will cure nearly all the ills that mankiau
is subject to. The following - oase is a
splendid illustration of the power of these
two remedies in the oure ot Jjung i roubles
suoh as Pleuro-Pneumonia eto.
While in the enjoyment of the moBt
perfect health Mrs. J.W. Lukenbacb wife
of the well known oommeroiai traveler of
Toledo O. was strioken down with pleuro-
pneumonia. It was a most violent and
dangerous attaok. These seemed to be
no limit to its virulence. It embraced
both lungs and developed a cough so
painful and so weakening that her suf-
ferings were enough to drive her mad. To
the imagination of tbe unfortunate and
frightened woman the disease that bad
seized her in its clutches took the form of
a fiend inoarnate. She felt npon her
breast the olutohing of his orucl fingers
and npon her cheeks the hot pantings of
his death-laden breath. As she lay help
less npon her bed of torture while the
oold ohill of despair crept over her she
cculd see the mooking smile npon his
faoe as with a significant gesture he
pointed to the dark form of
Death beokoning to htr in tt
distanoe. It might have been the fan
tastio fiction of delirium but with her
pulse at 120 and her respiration at 36
and with a pain accompanying eaoh
breath that made every nerve in her body
throb with the most poignant agony this
vision of a disordered imagination was
not an extravagant fanoy but a represen
tation of a terrible reality. To a person
in her desperate oondition death could oer-
tainly not be very far off. But there is
one medicine at least that is able to oope
and cope successfully even with deacb
and that is Pe-rn-na. Now it happened
moBt fortunately that Mrs. Lnkenbaoh's
husband knew this for Pe-rn-sa had
oured him of a oase of catarrh that had
bidden fair to fasten itself npon him for
life. More than that he " had read
so many testimonials to the great
etlioacy of Pe-ru-na that he oould
not but have the utmost confidence in it.
He therefore gave it to his wife a tea
spoonful in barley water every two hours
with enoogh Man-a-lin half an hour after
each meal to keep the bowels open. The
very next day after this treatment had
been begun the patient experienced a
marked relief. Her pain began to leave
her her fever to subside and her lungs to
feel easier. v)th this marked improve
ment returned the hope that had left her
long before. And as tach day found her
better she grew more hopeful and hap
pier. So rapid was her progress towam
recovery that marvelous as it may appear
within two weeks she was able to get out
of the bed to which she had
been confined so long and walk
two blocks to dinner! And
when the use of Pe-ra-na was discontin-
ued the last remaining vestige'of lurry
trouble had disappeared and Mrs. Lnken
bach was healthier heartier and happier
than she bad ever been before in all her
life. It would take a long searoh through
the pages of the history of medioine to
RnA on &nnnl in thin remarkable enra.
These remedies Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin
our readers can easily proonre as
they are kept in stock by all druggists.

METHODIST MISSIONS.
Forty-Third Annual Session of the Board
of Missions.
Special to the Statesman.
Nashville Tenn. May 2. The forty-
third annual session of the board of mis-
sions of the Methodist Episdopal ohuroh
(south) oonvenes here to-morrow. The
secretary's report is a volume containing
201 pages and is filled with an exhaustive
and a diligently digested resume of this
important work of the southern branch
of the Methodist ohuroh. It is the work
of J. G. John Dr D. secretary of the
board npon whom it refleots- the oredit
that follows all well constructed work.
The board of missions had its begin
ning in .New iorK uicy in ioiu. xne gen-
eral conference of 1820 adopted the oon-
etitution of the Booiety whioh was formed
then and recommended all the confer-
ences to take measures for forming auxiljj
iaries. At the close of the first year the
collections amounted to $823.04. In 1844
they reaohed $146578.78. The ohuroh di
vided north and south in that year and
from that time the work of missions
among the Indians and subsequently
among the negroes fell to the southern
branch.
During the pnst year the united collec-
tions of northern and southern Method-
ism for foreign and domestio missions
amounted to $ 1327591.35.
The degree of mission work shown in
these reports to have been done before the
war is not known to many people. In
1860 when the war disturbed these laborp
there was a colored membership of 207766
or nearly as many as the entire number of
oommuiiioants whioh had beeft gathered to
that time into the ohurohes of all Protes-
tant denominations having missionaries
in the far east.
The Indian missions the China mis-
sion Central Mexioan mission Mexican
Border mission the Brazil mission the
Japan mission the Cuban mission West-
ern work the German missions in Amer-
ica and domestio missions are each taken
np in tarn and viewed from every point of
view.
In the table of recapitulation of finances
the amouut of money paid out last year
for foreign missions was $244176.43.
The amount paid out for domestio mis-
sions was $104473.31.
The total amount need for foreign and
domestio missions was $348649.74.
Of the foreign missions Tennessee paid
in the largest amount reoeived from ' any
other one sooroe or $18897.28.
Virginia is ntit'with $18763.82.
South Carolit a leads in contribution to
the domestio missions with $7515.26.
The aggregate lnorease of foreign and
domestio during the past year over that
of 1887 was $21638.59.
The financial condition at the present
time is better than at any period since
1884.
The Board of Missions will among
other things it is thought discuss Okla-
homa as a mission and may possibly ar-
range for the extension of mission work
in that direction.
