2 HE BLACKMAILERS EVI-
' DENCE.
"The evidence against Senator
.3Bailey which has been submitted
-to the Legislature by Attorney
-General Davidson is said to have
-astonished even many of Mr.
Bailey's friends. Were it not for the"
questionable means by which this
evidence was secured it would
doubtless have the effect of alienat-
ing many of his supporters; but
the fact that Gruet as the con-
fidential employe-of the Waters
fierce Oil Company spied copied
private papers and attempted to
to blackmail other parties makes
She people of Texas slow to accept
testimony which is calculated to
destroy the reputation and blight
forever the life of one its highest
Officers when it comes altogether
ifrom such an utterly contemptible
source. Texans look with horror
and disgust upon that slimy reptile
- he spy the blackmailer the in?-
former and they will require the
--most absolute proof and substantia-
ion of this evidence before ac-
jepting it. The creature that will
stoop to spying theft and black-
mailing is capable of lying and
forgery. Gruet's testimony is al-
xeady impeached by the question-
able methods by which its villain--ous
author claims to have obtain-
ed it.
'Capt. Bill McDonald has
-CTade good at Austin coming off

- will now need to revise his estimate
jof the doughty ex-ranger.
" The Arkansas senate has purged
itself of a bribe-taker in the per
son of Senator Reuben R. Adams
who admits having accepted a
5)ribe from another senator who
now .years prison stripes in that
state. If legislative bodies every-
where would follow the wholesome
-example of those Arkansas sen-
ators the political millenium
would soon begin to dawn.
The Caller rejoices lustily over
the good news wired' the Corpus
Christi Board of Trade by Con-
gressman Garner to the effect that
. an appropriation of $500000 for
Aransas Pass harbor is assured
and also that an appropriation for
Turtle Cove is certain to be made
Tvhile that part of the intercoastal
canal between Aransas Pass has a
.good chance. Things seem to have
'been coming Corpus Christi's way
:ifor- some time. Deep water at
'ASransas Pass means deep water
3for Corpus Christi also and will
insure its future greatness beyond
all doubt. The HerAld con-
gratulates the good people of the
JBIuff City upon their bright pros-
pects. Itcan.be said truly that
-there is no prettier site for a" sea-
side city. x
Elderly Lady (to workman who

The boaster was telling whatra

"Why" he said in his usual
self-forgetful way. "I'm good for
any distance.' I could start riglit

"I'd like to seeyou try it. re

my advice. When you do try it
don't attempt to walk more than
20000 miles. That's far enough.

Work Out Your Salvation.
Miles Messenger.
This year will be pretty nearly
what you make of it. If you start
out viewing the darker side of life
and refuse to-look upon the briglit
side this year will be a dreary one
for you. Resolve to do your best
during the year and refuse to com-
plain if everything fails to go to
your exact liking. -
Advice to Legislature.
Many af the Texas newspapers
big and little are filling whole
columns with the duty of the pres
ent legislature. All of which might
be reduced into this short sentence:
Talk less think more repeal bad
laws kill fool bills pass only abso
lutely necessary laws adjourn sine
die and go home. Laredo Times.
Driven to Matrimony.
None the less the unexpected
and irremediable loss of suspender
buttons has driven more men into
matrimony than the poets are will-
ing to admit. Paris Advocate.
Rectified His Mistake.
The man of this story is a very
light sleeper one who is easily
awakened and who is a long time
getting to sleep. In a Leeds hotel
he had at last got sound asleep
when a loud rap repeated awoke
him.
"What's wanted?"
"Package downstairs for you."
"Well it can wait till morning
I suppose?''
The boy departed and after a
long time the man was sound
asleep again when there came an
other resounding knock at the
door.
"Well what is it now?"- he
inquired.
"Tain'trfor you that package."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. j
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of tie Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
fect hearing; and when it is entirely clos-
ed Deafness is the resnlt and unless the
inflammation can bg taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces. .
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars Jree.

Uses' of Gils.
Every person requires a certain
amount "of oil in his. food in order
to be healthy.
Our ancestors lived to a large
extent on olives filberts chestnuts
and other nuts containing oils.
The present generation uses too
little oil in its diet. This can be
taken in the shape of the pure ex-
pressed oliye oil as an emulsified
salad dressing or by eating nuts
olives etc. It may be a matter of
choice how the system gets its oil
but a. certain amount is. essential to
theierijbyment-of.good health. -The
good results of the habitual use of
the above articles in the diet are"
soon shown especially where per
sons are inclined to colicky indi
gestion and constipation. Doctors
will do well to instruct their
patients to use pure olive oil in
moderate doses also as a dressing
for salads. Various kinds of nuts
have a high dietetic value because
of the oil which they contain and
can be used to advantage. . When
patients incline to consumption
pure cod-liver oil ranks at the head
of oily substances but the lesser
oils can also be taken in moderation.
Nature furnishes us many cures
for the successful treatment of
diseases if we will but study her
methods instead of following fads
The-result will be greater progress
in building up resistance and im
munity from disease.

The superintendant of streets in

his presence an Irish officer to
whom he said:
"It is reported to me that there
is a dead doe- in" Horner street. I
want you to see to its disposition.'
"Yis sor" said the subordinate
who immediately set out upon his
mission. In half an hour the Irish
man telephoned his chief as fol-j
lows: I have made inquiries about
the dog's disposition and I find
that it was a savage one."
