THE HOST AST01INDIN6
Medical Discovery of the Age.
it is Pleasant to Take and Harmless as Milk.
This n«w And wonderful tonic possesses powers and qualities hitherto un-
known to the medical profession. It has completely solved the problem of the
cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complain. Kidney Trouble, and Disease of
the general Nervous System. No remedy compares with it as a builder ana
■trengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken down constitution. It is a marvelous cure for Nervousness of remales of
all ages. It is of Inestimable value to the Aged and Infirm, because its great en-
ergetic p perties will give them a new hold on life. As a cure tor every class of
nervous disease no remedy has been able to compare with Germicide, which is
very pleasant snd harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest
and most delicate individual. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food
in the blood, a general state of debility cf the brain, spinal sorrow and wean
nerves are the result. Starved nerves like starved muscles, become strong when
the right kind of food is supplied, und a thousand weaknesses and ailments disap-
pear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power l y
which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the llrst to suffer for want
cf perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the
kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and
labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necesary that a nerve
food be supplied. Germicide has been round, by analysis, to contain the essential
elements out of which nerve tissue is foimed. This accounts for its magic power
te cure all forms of nervous derangements. Germicide is the only absolute, un-
failing remedy ever discovered for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and the vast
train of symptoms and horrors which are the results of disease and debility of
the human stomach. No person can afford to pass by this jewel of incalculable
value, who Is affected by disease of the stomach, because the experience and testi-
mony of thousands go to prove that this is the ONE and ONLY ONE great cure
In tne world of this universal destroyer. There is no case of unmalignant dis-
ease of the stomach which can resist the wonderful curative powers of Germi-
cide.

CapitU.
Austin, Tex., May 31.—Adjutant Gen-
eral Scurry said to-day: "It has been
stated In some of the North Texas pa-
pers that General Wozencraft was an
applicant for the position of major
general, made vacant by the resigna-
tion of General Openheirner. Such
statements were in error and are mis-
leading. General Wozencraft was nev-
er an applicant for any military hon-
ors In the Texas Volunteer Guard to
my knowledge. His appointment to be
brigadier general of the second brigade
by the governor, was made on account
of his qualifications and excellent rec-
ord as an officer."
One of the several inspecting officers
who have been inspecting the various
organizations of the Texas Volunteer
Guard and examining company officers
has written the adjutant general as
follows:
"I wish to say that the examination
of the company officers who have been
examined was one of the best things
that has ever been done for the Texas
Volunteer Guard, and the officers who
have been examined are unanimous in
the same opinion. They tell me that
except in company drill and a few bat-
talion movements they made no at-
tempt to learn anything, but when
your order was issued that they had
to be examined their pride made them
■tudy Up, and they now feei thaf they
know something."
The Inspecting officers act as instruc-
tors as veil as inspectors and examin-
ers.
TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Austin, May 31.—The state revenue
agent's department is to-day sending
•ut the following letter to the county
tax collectors in the larger counties of
f 4, the state regarding the enforcement cf
the law about posting liquor dealers'
licenses:
"I find that Art. 118 penal code of
1895 requiring that the license of retail
liquor dealers for state and coumy
taxes be kept posted In a conspicuous
place, In the places of business of those
engaged, is being violated in your city,
•specially by those who are dependent
upon breweries to secure their licenses
for them. The law requires this li-
cense to be posted before one engages
In the business.
"For some reason this law has not
been enforced. We have good reason
to believe that the state has lost mon-
ey by not enforcing this statute, and
you will therefore notify the parties so
engaged that each month this depart-
ment will send an inspector to see that
the proper taxes are paid and the li-
censes are kept posted in the respect-
ive places of business of those so <n-
gaged, and a failure to comply with
the law will lead to an immediate ar-
rest."

Washington, May 31.—The following
statement was handed to the corre-
spondent of the Times Herald by the
Hon. Thomas H. Ball of Texas, mem-
ber of the rivers and harbors commit-
tee of the house of representatives.
There is no man who knows more of
the Texas river and harbor propects
than Mr. Ball, and no. man who has
done more to help them out of the
mire at the capital. In view of this
fact his statement at tills time is in-
teresting. Mr. Ball said:
"Texas is as much to be congratu-
lated upon the present status of pro-
jects for river and lmrbor improve-
ments as she is upon the fact that she
obtains $3,275,000 in the bill which will
pass congress at tills session.
"Prior to obtaining deep water at
Galveston, Texas was required to
make a sacrifice not imposed upon any
other state. To obtain deep water up-
on the Gulf of Mexico, to afford a port
for the commerce of Texas and the
states west of the Mississippi, all oth-
er places were required to abate their
demands, In order that the govern-
ment might concentrate its efforts in
Texas, at Galveston. The splendid re-
sults there have justified the wisdom
and patriotism of the other Texas in-
terests in temporarily standing aside.
"When deep water was secured at
Galveston in 1896 and the time came
to look out for other Texas interests,
it was found that the mouth of the
Brazos was in the hands of a syndi-
cate and the river unsurveyed. Aran-
sas Pass was also tied up by a broken
syndicate. Trinity river had not yet
been surveyed; the project for deep
water from Houston to Galveston had
not been adopted, and Texas' Inter-
ests generally were In bad shape for
proper consideration. Since then both
the Brazos and Aransas Pass syndi-
cates have conveyed their works to the
government. The Prazos and Trinity
rivers have been surveyed and report-
ed upon favorably; the coast-wise
light draft navigation project has been
reported upon favorably, and another
survey made across Sabine lake.
"It is always difficult lo secure the
adoption of projects, us once adopted
thej' claim the attention of each con-
gress, demanding appropriations until
they are finished.
"The present bill provides for a mll-
pany where the El Paso Terminal
crosses the other road near the city of
El Paso, was heard to-day before th"
railroad commission. The El Paso Ter-
minal wants a grade crossing, while
the other company wants a non-grade
or overhead crossing. After hearing
the evidence in the case, the commis-
sion took the matter under advisement.
. lion dollars for the Houston ship rjian-
] nel, with which a channel twenty feet
' deep will be completed from the Jetties
j ut Galveston to Harrisbiirg. With one
' more appropriation it is expected to
I furnish a channel to a depth of tiven-
| ty-five feet to or near Houston. Seven
[ hundred and fifty thousand dollars Is
given towards the restoration of the
j t.utveslon jetties damaged by the
storm of September IDOii. of greater
importance is the fact tiiut Galveston,
secures three hundred thousand dol-
lars towards tiie construction of the
inner harbor thirty feet in depth;
Brazos river receiving fifty thousand
dollars for continuing the improvement
at the mouth and one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for making the
river navigable from Richmond to Old
Washington; fifty thousand dollars Is
also appropriated to improve tlie Braz-
os from its mouth to Richmond and to
begin the coast-wise canal, which is
expected ultimately to extend from Sa-
bine Pass to Corpus Christl: in addi-
tion to $185,000 for the maintenance of
a twenty-flvo foot channel at Sabine
Pass and repairs to tile jellies: one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol-
lars Is provided for an eight foot chan-
nel from the mouth of the Sabine und
Neches rivers to the pass. This will
give needed relief to tlv great Indus-
tries at Orunge and Beaumont.
"The greatest triumph of any pro-
ject In the Villi is that of the Trinity
river. This project has been more bit-
terly assailed In and out of congress
than any other Texas project, and per-
haps any project before congress. Not-
withstanding this fact, the bill car-
ries four hundred thousand dollars for
Trinity river, one hundred and twenty-
five thousand dollars cash and two
hundred nnd seventy-five thousand dol-
lar contract. Of this appropriation
fifty thousand dollars will be expend-
ed in clearing out section one, from
Dallas to the tnouth of [Cast Fork;
three hundred and fifty thousand for
Improving the river by locks and dams
ami clearing obstructions from Its
mouth to East Fork.
"The friends of the project nre not
alarmed by the provision in the bill re-
quiring examination of the section
from Dallas to East Fork. The engi-
neers have already reported that with
three hundred and fifty thousand dol-

Austin, May 31.—Governor Sayers
has been invited by a committee of
citizens of Dallas to accompany them

Had Several Witnesses Before It Yesterday to
Testisy About Methods of the Stab
Treasury.
Austin, Tex., May 31.—The legislative
Investigating committee this morning
resumed consideration of the state
treasury investigation and the Firs;
National Bank matter.
Dr. R. J. Breckcnridge, at one lime
cashier of the First National bank, was
before the committee. In answer to
questions propounded to him by Com-
mitteeman Savage. Dr. Breckenridge
stated that he knew in a general way
the transactions between the treasury
department and the bank. He was
asked If he ever had the treasurer mal;e
a request for him to hold for months all
treasurry warrants received In the
bank from depositors and outside bank
correspondents until such time as there
would be sufficient funds lo meet them.
The witness replied that he remem-
bered something of the kind, but he
could give no details. He was then
asked if he ever, at any time, for the
purpose of accommodating the treas-
urer, took warrants which had already
been cashed in the trensury and hal
stamped on the date he paid them and
paying him In lieu thereof the cash an 1

cash or otherwise until he called for
them or advised he was ready lo take
them up. The witness replied that he
knew of nothing of the kind.

witness. His examination was brief.
He stated he had been in the treasury
department for the past sixteen vjjara.
No new facts were brought out in his
testimony.

cial, the heads of the departments.

The accident, which snuffed out one

this afternoon. Thousands from Man-
hattan, Sts.l"ii Inland, Brooklyn, Jer-
sey city and even points us far west
as Ohio and east to Maine had ga'h-
ered along the course to witness the
record breaking trials of the machines,
which had been built espeelallv for to
day's run and which had been stripped
of every pound of unnecessary weight
for th© purpose of sending them over
the level stretch at a speed never be-
fore equalled In automobile history.
The Raker was slone In a < lass for
electric vehicles. It was built Ilk- a
cigar, with a body set so low that the
wheels projected above It ami with n
hole In the center Just large enough to
admit two men. Great things were
expected from It in the speed line and
Mr. Baker mounted It himself with
Chauffer Dennr when It was tline to
start.
The course Has along a level mile
stretch with a crossing about 210 yards
from the finish. Near this crossing is a
clear space, a spot with every advan-
tage for the slght-seer in watching the
speeding machines as they came whiz-

Suddenly the crowd sow It swerve
It looked as though the chauffeur had
lost temporary control, and the big
three-ton vehicle seemed to leap Into

was rough and the wheels as they
struck this spot veered sharply. A
second later the mass of steel and ma-
chinery was plowing through the peo-
ple, who, ulthough they had seen the
swerve, had not time to avoid the
crash. Mr. Featherstone was caught

T«> iho People t f the 1'nlted State*:
We liellevr that iho llrst step toward
overcoming tli deplorable political and

is to change our system of government
from a government by corrupt mat hint s,
controlled by bosses and party dictators,
who sell absolution from punishment to
evil-doers ami traffic in governmental
privilege in exchange for immense cam-
paign funds, !• a government in which
ttie people tnn> exercise the final veto
power. We believe the control of our
government should he taken away from
parties, clloncs and combinations and
given Into the keeping of the majority of
the people. Tn this end we reiterate our
faith in the initiative and referendum
principle Mini ilemaml such changes in ex-
isting laws us may be necessur.v t* enable
the people In their sovereign capacity to
propose and compel the adoption ol' such
laws jis tiny may desire and to reject
such as they may ilrem injurious to their
interests ami to recall unfaithful public
servants. In this connection we invite
attention to the fact that we may secure
the use of the Initiative and referendum
principle without delay through the adop-
tion of rules of procedure by legislative)
bodier, and we pledge this movement to
adopt such rules in every legislative bo4y
wherein we have the power.

to such legislation as will' destroy the

THK PLATFORM.
We demand the adoption of the Initia-
tive and referendum, for through this
open floor of majority rule we will secure
the following and other progressive leg-
islation:
First—Public ownership of all public
Utilities, as the people shall from time to
time elect.
Second-The land, including all natural
resources, the heritage of the people, will
not be monopolized for speculative put
poses, and alien ownership will be pro-
hibited. All lands now held by railroads
und other corporations In excess of their
actual needs, or ludd by aliens, will be
reclaimed and held for actuul settlers
only.
Third—A money that Is based upon the
entire wealth of the people of the nation,
and not redeemable* in any specific com-
modity, but to be full legal tender for
all debts, private and public, to be issued
by the government only, and without the
intervention of private Individuals or cor-
porations, sufficient In quantity to meet
the requirements of commerce.
Fourth Just and natural taxation.
Fifth The election of the president,
