Catarrh and Consumption.
t'a'arrh in Its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is
therefore singular that those afflicted wlib this
fearful disease should not make It the object of
their lives lo rid themselves of It. Deceptive
remedies concocted by Ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confidence
of the izre.it majority of sufferers in all advertised
remedies They become resigned to a life of
misery nil her than torture themselves with doubt
ful palliatives.
Hut this will never do. Catarrh mu t be met at
every stage and combatted with all onr might. In
Liny cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so
an. -cled as to be u-eless, the uvula so elongated,
the throat so Inflamed and Irritated as to produce
a ronsiant nnd distressing coagh.
Sankouis Raiucal Ckhk meets every phase of
-catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsomo and destructive stages. It is local and
constitutional. Inelant In relieving, permanent in

AnsTiN, February -Si
While there has been a steady Improvement in
business, preparatory to the opening of the spring
trade, the general ton of th l'jcal trade may be
claused as dull for the season. It is anticipated
this quUtude may be somewhat broken by the
spring demand, supplemented ky the spirit that
win lie made by the drill ani the capi ol celebra
tlon.
Cotton, whljh moves everything else, la nearly
nominal, hardly any coming In, and prices ate
about where they were a week agi. The usual
spring rise has not yet taken place.
The wholesale and j jlihers' trade continues quiet
hut, on the whole, improved since the date of our
last weekly report. The doinind is chiefly, as for
some months past, for staple goods, plantation
supplies, etc.
Dry goods are steady, with local prices un
changed, and there have been no changes in pro
visions wotthy of note or special mention. Local
coffee has declined during the week from 20Slc
to lUi4-ic. Ilutter and eiigs are unchanged
since last weekly report.

letting down of prices Inst before the end of th
session, May closing at Site. There was no iellnite
influence at work In the corn market.
Trading was almost entirely local, and operators
in corn watched the Indicator for wheat and acted
with It. May corn opened He off, and early sell
lng down three points to .Mi4 c. When the rally
came to wheat corn reacted, aided by light posted
receipts for to-morrow, and sold to 51 ic, weaken

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Fobt Wobih, February 28. The state
immigration committee of thirty-one and
the executive committee of seven have
been in session all day to-day. The ex
ecutive committee is still in session at
midnight. Reports were reoeived from a
number os the senatorial districts. Major
Elliott insisted of his resignation, and F.
B. Chilton, of Pecos, was appointed act
ing seoretary.
A resolution was adopted by both com
mittees endorsing John Howard and his
work in St. Louis, and substantially, was
sent to him.
General Hamby, of Austin, represented
that city and district, nd reported that
Austin would spend $10,000.
The old question of county work versus

It seems to be pretty well settled in the
minds of the people of San Antorjio, who
ought to know, that the agreement made
several months ago by the county and
oity, to build a joint county court house
and oity hall on Military plaza, will be
productive of no result.
The oity authorities 01 ttempBieaa
have offered all the land required to locate

have made no answer yet.
The celebrated Qnitequa ranch, located
in the Panhandle of Texas, has just been
bought by L. M. Moore, of Kansas City,
and Charles Goodnight, of Texas. The
whole ranch comprises 445,000 acres, all

of hitrh o-rade cattle. The whole outfit
was bought for the sum of $700,008.
Strange to say, there is no mill for the
manufacture of white paper east of the

fore be the pioneer of the industry weBt
of that river. Denison News.
In connection with the meager salaries
given by Texas to judges of its high
oourts it is stated that Louisiana gives
$10,000 a year to its supreme judge, and
,000 to each of his associates, no state
ought to be niggardly in paying for the
best talent for such places. Successful
lawyers cannot be expected to surrender
lucrative praotioe for the mere honor of a
high station. Waco Day.
Reports continue to oome in with refer
ence to the death of cattle in the farming
districts. The chief cause of this seems
to be that the rains washed the eubstanoe
out of the grass, and the farmers having
made no arrangements for feeding their
stock, the animals died of exposure and
insufficient food. Those that are still
living are very poor, and many of them
are liable to die before the grass gets up
enough to support them. There have
also been a great many deaths among
oornfed cattle that have had all they could
eat. Standing in the mud for so many
long weeks was enough to nndermine the
constitutions of the toughest range steers.
As a rule feeders in this seotion have not
done well at all, and the result of the
feeding will be an immense outlay of prov
inder for a small amount of beef. Dallas
