Her Health Restored
THE misery ct sleeplessness can only be
realized by those who have experi-
enced It. Nervousness sleeplessness
headaches neuralgia and that miserable
feeling of unrest can surely be cured by Dr.
Miles' Restorative Nervine. So certain is
Dr. Mlles of this fact that all druggists are
authorized to refund price paid for the first
bottle tried providing it does not. benefit.
Mrs. Henry Brans wife of the well known
blacksmith at Grand Junction lowa says:
■I was troubled with sleeplessness nervous-
ness headache and Irregular menstruation:
suffering untold misery for years. I used
various advertised remedies for female com-
plaints besides being under the care of I.x-al
physicians wi.bout help. 1 noticed In Dr.
Miles’ advertisement the testimonial of a
lady cured of ailments similar to mine and
I shall uerer cease to thank th:.t lady. Her
testimonial induced mo to use Dr. Mlles’
Nervine and Liver PHD which
restored me tobealtli. I cannot say enough
for Dr.Mllos'Remedlcs." S 5

OBy Alger's resigning he has caused
the people to be resigned. (
Secretary Alger has laid down his
burden. It should be embalmed in
the same kind of fluid he caused to
be fed to the soldiers.
A long felt want has been filled in
the United States without it being
a new newspaper launched we
refer to Alger’s resignation.
When General Miles heard that
the frost had at last nipped Alger
he sang a low sweet ditty remark-
ing as a chorus and there are oth-
ers still awaiting the harvester.
If we want to get out of this
trouble with these Filipinos we can
do it by putting Miles between us j
and the enemy. You cai construe
this as you like as it is a double i
ender.
There is being quite a fight made
on the Sunday saloon in various
parts of Arkansas; this thing must
go; the saloon men had better not
go too far in their disregard of the
Christian sentiment of their com-
munities. They might find their
license taken away altogether at
the next election.
Mr. Seei are you not a Socialist
acting the part of a democrat while
you wait ’till the country catches
up with your advanced views ? You
may refresh your memory on what
you were two years ago by looking
over the files of the Courier. Take
time and look it up carefully old
boy.
If Canada don’t want to get
itself into an entangling alliance
with Uncle Sam it had better tell
its engineers who have staked off
some of our possessions in the Klon-
dike country to move their pegs a
little in and thus keep intact the
dignity of its government. Uncle
Sam as a land grabber has proven
to be an expert.
The “amateur” is glad to know
the Seer is still an adherent of the
doctrine of the free coinage of sil-
ver and gold at the ratio of Hi to 1.
He is thankful of the opportunity
also to inspect the tiles of the Cou
rier that he may show clca'ly that
the Seer has wavered along this
line. He will be over there one day
next week to make the inspection.
Persons troubled witli diarrhoea
will be interested in the experience
of Mr. W. M. Bush clerk of Hotel
Dorrance Providence R. 1. He says
For seyeral years 1 have been almost
a constant sufferer from diarrhoea
the frequent attacks completely
prostrating me and rendering me
unfit for my duties at this hotel.
About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Much to my surprise and delights its
effects were immediate. Whenever
I felt syptoms of the disease I would
fortify l myself against the attack
with a few doses of this valuable
remedy. The result has been very
satisfactory and- almost • complete
relief from the afflictions." For
sale by Smith Drug Co.
The “amateur" was certainly sur-
prised to see the Seer devote so
much of his sheet to him in yester-
day's issue. He has undoubtedly
touched this mighty man on the
spot. We did not say anything;
about “calf rope" Mr. Seer; why | (
did you mention it ?
They arrest a man in Texas for 1
not working the road but the big '
fat saloon keeper sells the cocktails |
on Sunday unmolested. It may be
that the poor devils who are sub-
ject to road duty have not learned
Latin and therefore are ignorant
of the true meaning of “modus
operand!.” It is a great thing to
be “edicated."
We understood the Courier to as-
sert that the editorial matter in
the Texarkanian was innocently ta-
ken from the paper’s exchanges
without giving credit therefor. Since
the Seer has disclaimed any inten-
tion to do an injustice to the “ama-
teur” ourcontention along that line
is ended We leave the editor of
this paper to meet the charge of
the Courier as he sees proper for
we are not supposed to fight his bat-
tles.
The governor of Arkansas
is Daniel W. Jones. He was
twice overwhelmingly elected and
though you may not wish him to be
your federal senator he is your gov-
ernor and should be treated with
dignity and respect.—Pine Bluff
Commercial.
To this the Texarkanian desires
to say amen. It is surely a reflec-
tion upon any man if he fail to
treat the governor of the state
without becoming courtesy under
any circumstances.
The applicant fora Texas pension
must answer a great number of
questions concerning himself.' We
give two to-wit: First—are you in
indigent circumstances; that is are
you in actual want and destitute of
property and means of subsistance.
This question the applicant must
answer in the affirmative. Second-
are you able by your own labor to
earn a support? This question the
applicant must answer in the nega-
tive We ask the officers to see
that the law is faithfully executed.
When such is done the sum of SBIO-
000 as the Seer hopes may be ap-
propriated will be entirely too
much. Can a man who has $2500
worth of property answer these
questions as indicated above and
tell the truth? Officers who wink
at any such corruption ought to be
put on the retired list at once and
forever. We trust the Seer will
get himself straight on this ques-
tion and hold up the hands of the
officers against the pressing claims
of unworthy aspirants; let the pen-
sion roll be one of honor.
A Rich Man's Project.
A rich man’s statement that he
proposes to devote almost his entire
fortbne to charitable works has
aroused much discussion. This is
because it will accomplish much
good. It is a praiseworthy endeav-
or but there are many other agen-
cies which accomplish just as much
good Take Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters for instance—the great
American remedy. For fifty years
it has cured constipation dyspepsia
and all the ills which arise from
weak digestion. This medicine will
keep the stomach in good shape and
the bowels regular. It is a wonder-
ful restorative tonic and health
builder. It is also a preventive for
malaria fever and ague. Ask for
it and insist upon having it. See
that a private revenue stamp cov-
ers the neck of the bottle.

THE PENSION QUESTION.
Yesterday morning when the
Amateur came into the editorial
rooms of the Texarkanian he ob- i
served that Pete's face was wreath
ed in smiles occasioned by the
Seer's announcing the fact in the
Courier that he was after the “Am-
ateur" and would let Pete go. Then
the. “Amateur" must fight the
fight alone; he was never a very
pugnacious character but when
one attempts to rub the hair
the wrong way just for the
fun of the thing he has never been
known to cry hold enough!
Now as to pensions: The Cour-
ier in his long editorial of yesterday
acknowledges that he would be
willing to appropriate SBIOOOO per
year jf it were necessary for thispur-
pose; but he attempts to show that
such would never be the case by
comparing our figuring to the Irish-
man’s calculation as to what his
son would weigh at the age of
twenty-one years. The joke and
the point intended to be illustrated
by it are separated by a hiatus so
wide that the fallacy is clearly ap-
parent to one who thinks of it
for a moment. For in his editorial
copied in yesterday’s issue of the
Texarkanian he says the approp-
riation for next year will be in-
creased to $225000 and the roll
will increase in proportion and that
he hoped each of the old fellows
could get S9O per year. This does
- not put off the matter twenty one
years he says in effect that he
; hopes the “old fellows” may get
r SBIOOOO next year. The roll would
in all probability go on increasing
till 9000 pensioners would be a
1 small estimate of the number.
The assertion that the “Aina-
“ teur” grudges the starving ex-con-
-1 federates this small pittance al-
“ lowed by law is without any kind
* of foundation; he has asserted and
' still does so that he “feels that
every old confederate soldier who is
in hard circumstances should be
’ aided iu spending his last days in
' peace and quiet.” He denies that
there will be any occasion for any
such expenditure as the Courier
hoped might be available for 1900.
The seer says that these ex-confed-
erate soldiers are more than a
’ match man for man for any hu-
man being on earth. The “Ama-
' teur” has observed this and they
are as a rule the best to do people
' in the country; the people are kind
' to them; and in all our acquaint-
. ance of these old fellows we know
of none who is “starving” nor have
we ever seen one begging his bread
God bless them they are the salt
’ of this beautiful southland;
We urged care on the part of
the officers in admitting to these
pension privileges for it is a fact
- that all who apply are not worthy.
' A man who is worth $2500 is not in
’ a “starving” condition and we are
i informed that such have applied.
Now Mr. Seer this is the “Ama-
‘ tear’s” position on this question
J and he intends to hold to it for he
( is opposed to this spirit that is per-
il vading the whole country that
i would make every one rush to
’ the government treasury every
I time misfortune overtakes him; let
- us-crush out the protective tariff
i the gold standard the trusts and
1 every one who would work a de-
-1 ception and fraud on the govern-
. ment however small or great.
There is morn eiitnrrii in this section of
■ the eountrv than all other discuses put
together and until the hist few years was
supposed to bo incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
“ disease and prescribed local remedies and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment pronounced it Incurable. Sci-
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefor: requires eon-
stltutlonal treatment. Hall's catarrh cure
manufactured by F. .1. Cheney A Co. I'o-
. ledo. Ohio Is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken Internally In

HOw to Enjoy a Watermelon.
A New York newspaper under
the caption “How to enjoy a wa-
termelon." tells us that the meat
of the melon should be powdered
with sugar and served glace. This
was evidently written by some per-
son who never became acquainted
with the melon in its native lair.
The right and only way to enjoy
the rosy flesh of the citrullis vul-
garis is first of all to be a boy with
a shock of bushy hair freckles of
the color of gingerbread on his
face an archipelago of warts on
the back of both hands a nose
that runs slow but easy a sore toe
with a rag around it a wool hat
with a pecked crown shirt and
breeches of blue cotton jeans held
together with one suspender made
bed ticking.
The next thing is to find another
boy similarly equipped and ready
for the fray. Then stealthily ap-
proach a patch in which the green
rinds of the melons can be seen
glinting in the rays of the July sun
While the other boy plays the part
of a lookout climb to the top of the
rail fence and drop gently on the
other side and into a yellow jackets
nest. After indulging in a series
of smothered howls and frantic rol-
ling in the grass thump carefully
to ascertain if ripe aud then pluck
the largest melon in the bunch.
Return safely to the fence by mak-
’ ing a wide detour of the yellow
1 jackets’ entrenchments once
' out of the patch proceed with all
: haste to the spring iu the ravine at
■ the bottom of the hill throw the
I melon into its bubbling waters and
1 allow the fruit to remain there
i until it becomes thoroughly chilled.
Then hammer it lustily against the
• roots of a spreading tree until it
• bursts open and ravishes your eyes
with its ruddy heart. Gaze but a
I moment and plunge your band up
I to the wrist into the juicy meat
: and feast your dream of the joys of
s paradise.
: That is the way to enjoy a melon
> and it is the only way as thbusand
t of boys in Dixie land who have
r grown to be bearded men are will-
■ ing to testify.—New Orleans
States.

-1 tner.l had a severe attack of cholera
