James B. Wells of Brownsville, men-
tioned as a candidate for Governor, was
at the Menger Hotel last night on hi*
way from Austin, where he had been
attending the special session of the Leg-
islature incidentally working against the
blanket primary and more especially
conferring with Governor ha n ha in and
members of the Legislature in regard to
the drainage bill passed at the last regu-
lar session but which was found to be
defective.
The bill permits certain districts to
vote bonds for building drainage facili-
ties. Several counties have voted bonds,
but the law has been found to be in-
operative.
Reserved as to
His Candidacy.
Judge Wells has not announced him-
self as a candidate. His friends have
been talking of insisting on him entering
the race, and it is probable that he will
be a candidate. He was asked concern-
ing his candidacy last evening.
"Just say that 1 wouldn't talk about
it," he said; "not just yet."
Senator John G. Willacy of Corpus
Christi was with Judge Wells at the
hotel last evening. He will go back to
Austin today, and from there to Mineral
Wells, where he intends slaying a couple
of weeks. When Judge Wells was out
Of hearing. Senator Willacy said:
"Judge Wells hasn't fully decided yet.
You can say this, though, for certain:
If he does become a candidate, he will
have the solid support of Southwest
Texas. He will be one of the two lead-
ing factors in the rare. He can be char-
acterized as a brilliant man, with a.
splendid memory, with determined views
upon a matter, and all in all a man
who would make a good Governor."
Judge Hill Says
He Is for Bell.
Judge J. W. Hill of San Angelo, State
Senator from San Angelo and the Twen-
ty-fifth District, was here yesterday on
his way home. He said that Tom Green
County would instruct both of its dele-
gates for Judge Bell.
"Judge Bell lived in this county one
time and the. people like him," said
Judge Hill. "It is, therefore, natural
that they should support him. Judge
Bell is a very popular man in that sec-
tion of country."
Speaking of the result of the special
session, Judge Hill said he believed the
fight for the blanket primary system
had become so strong that its opponents
would not be able to withstand it an-
other year.
"The only reason the blanket primary
crowd did not win out at this session
was that many of the members felt obli-
gated to Governor Lanham and felt that
the law should be put <>n the books just
as it was intended to have been passed
by the last regular session," said Judge
Hill. "There were two members of the
Senate, Senators hooney and Skinner,
who were for a blanket primary sec-
tion. but would not vote for the blanket
primary amendment for this reason."
AMUSEMENTS.
At the Majestic—Vaudeville.
The much-talked-of test of Sam Du
Vries' trunk mystery was successfully
done last night at the Majestic Theater.
The man was placed in an ordinary pack-
ing case and the lid nailed on by the
committee who challenged him. The spe-
cially made trunk cover was then placed
around the case and laced tight, then
tied securely. The box was then put in
a cabinet and the curtain drawn, in
less than a minute the box was removed
from the cabinet, the cover removed and
the box broken open, whereupon a young
lady was discovered instead of the man,
who at that time was seen standing in
the rear of the theater.
Marie CaniII.
Marie Cahill, the really true come-
dienne, who is best described as '
different from all others," will be seen
at the Grand Opera House Saturday,
matinee and night, in the "smart" mu-
sical play, "Molly Moonshine," by Royle-
Hobart-Ilyne, and under the main*
ment of Daniel V. Arthur. Miss Ca-
hill comes direct from an unusually suc-
cessful run at the Liberty Theater, New
York City, with the same strong cast of
splendid players and singers which as-

MISS JULIA HART AND IRVINO OOURLEY OF ALPINE.
sisted her in obtaining an unanimous
verdict best put in the words of the New
York Herald critic: "It is the brightest
musical comedy of the year."
The art of Marie Cahill, demonstrated
before in "Nancy Brown," is the most
unique thing on the American stage
today. Her comedy method is without a
parallel, for it is natural, quiet, almost
without effort, but subtle and effective.
There are scenes in "Molly Moonshine"
which give her an opportunity to dis-
play better than ever her unquestioned
versatility.
"SIDE TRACKED."
At the Grand Sunday Matinee and
Night.
Neither atmospheric conditions nor
Wall Street depressions seem to affect
the prosperity of Jule Walters or the
famous laugh-maker, "Side-Tracked."
Mr. and Mrs. Walters appear in two bills
this season. In addition to the above, a
very fine production has been made of
a vaudeville skit entitled "A Chinese
Concession." The action of this funny
comedy takes place in the throne room
of the Empress of China at Pekin. All
Chinese idols, prayer machines, buddhas
(Chinese gods) and everything pertain-
ing to Her Royal Majesty's throne room
is carried, even to the wardrobe of the
Chinese guards and attendants.
TO USE THE LABEL.
Union Typographers Will Have At-
tractive Float in Carnival Parade.
A committee of Typographical Union
No. 172 met last night and decided to
have the float this organization will
place in the trades display parade dee-
orated in the union label. This will be
used to great effect. The float will eon-
tain a press at which one or two work-
men will probably he engaged. A num-
ber of children will also ride in the float.

Gourley—Hart.
One of the pretty weddings of this week
was that of Miss Julia. Belle llart, to
Irving Gourley of Alpine, which took
place at the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hart, yesterday
morning. Henry Hart, brother of the
bride, and Miss Ethel Lewis were the
attendants. The couple were united by
Judge Robert lireen, the ceremony tak-
ing place at 7:30 a. m. Miss Lucinda
Stein rendered Lohengrin's beautiful
"Bridal Song.'' The rooms were prettily
decorated with palms and roses and the
bridal couple stood under a large bou-
quet of bride's roses and ferns.
'1 he bride looked very sweet and love-
l.\ in a gown of gray voile over gray
silk. Eton effect, with hat of gray straw,
chiffon and roses, and carried a shower
bouquet of white carnations and ferns.
The young couple left on the 9 o'clock
train for Mr. Gourley's ranch, near Mar-
fa, Tex. A host of friends met them at
the station and not only ga,ve thorn a
rice shower, but invaded the baggage
car and decorated with ribbons every
available space on trunks and suit cases.
The bride threw her bouquet as the train
was leaving and it was captured by Miss
Ethel Lewis. The presents were numer-
ous and handsome.

The Easter Market was the center of
attraction in business circles yesterday.
From 11 o'clock when the doors were
thrwn open the people thronged the mar-
ket, and admired and bought the pretty
•dainties offered for sale. The liberal pa-
tronage was a fitting compliment to the
ladies in charge, and an unprecedented
success is the encouraging outlook.
Th< market presents a very attractive
appearance, and is gayly arrayed in
spring flowers, foliage, and bright colored
bunting. The window scene is a work of
art, and the little pond and its surround-
ings are much admired by the visitors.
The booths bid great rivalry in their
popularity, and it is hard to tell which
is the mbst attractive. The Japanese
booth, the lemonade and candy booths,
have a large share of admirers; .while
the Easter booth, the far.cv work display
and cake, cream and flower booths art
equally as popular.
A dainty lunch was served during the
noon hours and Mrs. William Will and
lic-r assistants gracefully presided as hos-
tesses. Mrs. Frank Paschal will be the
hostess today, ami Mrs. C. Sehasse to-
morrow.
A notable characteristic of the mar-
ket is i he lack of soliciting and the beg-
ging of visitors to buy. All are cor-
dially invited to come in and inspect the
articles offered for sale, but in no in-
stance were they forced or begged to
buy. This makes it all the more pleasing
and attractive for the guests.
The market will be open today and to-
morrow. and attractive programs will bo
render* J.

Indications Point to Trouble Ahead
for Dallas Politicians as Result
of the Election Tuesday.
Special Telegram to The Express.
DALLAS, Tex., April 5.—There appears
to be trouble ahead over the result of the
city election held Tuesday. The atmos-
phere at the City Hall was charged with
discontent today, and rumors of con-
tests for some, of the minor offices were
in the air. The blanket ballot and the
lack of general knowledge of how to vote
it are the principal causes of the trouble.
Talk of improper work at the election is
also heard.
It was learned late this afternoon that
City Secretary J. B. Winslett, in whose
office all election boxes were placed after
the election, has been summoned to ap-
pear before the Grand Jury, now in ses-
sion, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and
to take with him all boxes and paper of
the Fifth ward.
It is believed that the matters to be
brought befpre the Grand Jury involve
the Mayoralty directly, but if minor of-
ficers become involved some changes in
the total vote for the different candi-
dates might incidentally result, but not
of sufficient scope to change the election.
Curtis P. Smith was elected Mayor by
a majority over the other nonpartisan
candidates*. Grove and lvivlen, and the
Socialist candidate. Scott. The last re-
turns give Smith 308:?. Grove 2396. Kiv-
lcn 451. and Scott 51 votes.
Smith has 687 majority over Grove and
l.lti majority over Grove and Kivlen
combined, according to the face of the
returns.
At the meeting of the City Council next
Tuesday night the Council will canvass
the election returns and officially declare
the result. Mayor-elect Curtis P. Smith
has not stated definitely when he will
qualify as Mayor. Mayor Barry took
charge of the office April 25. 1904.
When the election returns are canvass-
ed the exact result of the vote on the
commission and the school tax proposi-
tions will be learned, although it is eon-
ceded that the elective commission idea
has carried and the special school tax
won by an overwhelming vote.
It is estimated that the total vote
reached and may have exceeded 6,500.
Several hundred ballots were throw*i out
because thev were impropsarjjr marked.
Temple Services.
The Friday evening service will be
held at Temple Beth-El tonight at 8
o'clock. The Saturday morning service
will be held at 10 o'clock. Sunday morn-
ing religious school will meet at 10
o'clock. Monday begins the Jewish Pass-
over. A servicc will be held Monday
evening in the temple and also Tuesday
morning. The seventh day passover oc-
curs the following Sunday evening and
Monday morning. Services will also be
held oil these occasions.
-O
Inspector Here.
Major Diekman of the War College at
Washington is in the city inspecting mil-
itary academies. He will inspect West
Texas Military Academy this afternoon,
at which time a dress parade will be
given.
At a meeting of the City Council com-
mittee appointed by the Mayor a few
weeks ago to investigate the granting of
a franchise lor the Citizens' Mutual (las.
Electric Light and Power Company, the
matter of a cash deposit of $50,000 as pro-
posed by tile Mayor, was discussed.
At the last meeting of the committee it
was proposed to demand that, in case
the company does not fulfill the terms of
tli franchise, this franchise and all its
property and hoiuings shall be confis-
cated by the city.
Cash Deposit
Was Protested.
It was also thought safest to demand
that the new company make a cash de-
posit of $50,000 with the city. Both of
these conditions were objected to by
R. H. Ward, attorney for the new com-
pany. He tried to show the Council com-
mittee it is impossible for the new com-
pany t(» violate any of the provisions of
tlie franchise when the city holds the
right to annul the franchise. The com-
mitteemen. however, are all in favor of
some ivind of guarantee from the new
company.
It was proposed Thursday that the cash
deposit be not demanded, but. in case the
company did not abide by the terms of
its franchise, all its property, with the
franchise, should be confiscated by the
city.
This, it is held, will be a sufficient
guarantee nf the good faith of the com-
pany and will not require it to have a
large amount of idle money on deposit
with the city.
Hambleton's Gross
Earning Tax Plan.
Alderman John T. Hambleton's pro-
posal to demand a tax of 5 per cent of the
gross earnings of the company was voted
down by the other members of the com-
mittee.
His plan of demanding that the new
company place all its wires underground
in every part of the city was also voted
down by the other members of the com-
mittee.
They were of the opinion that the city
ordinance should be strictly enforced in
the heart of the city, but it would be too
severe on a new company to demand that
it place all wires underground.
The company will be rqulred to extend
wires or mains to any point in the city
limits! where a certain number of per-
sons desire gas, electric light or power,
'j ne company will also have to begin
work on the plant within ninety days
after receiving the franchise, and must
complete within a certain time, probably
two years.
An examination of old city ordinances
showed the city reserves the right at
any time to order all wires underground.

Col. George LeRoy Brown, commanding
the Twenty-sixth regiment of infantry,
is endeavoring to have (he whole Twen-
ty-sixth regiment concentrated at Fort
Sam Houston. At present there are but
four companies there. Two companies
art at Fort Ringgold, three at Fort
Brown and three at Fort Mcintosh. Con-
centrating tlie companies of the Twenty-
sixth regiment here would add eight
companies to tin? post, or about 520 sol-
diers. All of tne companies of the Twen-
ty-sixth regiment are recruited to their
full strength.
The Twenty-sixth regiment is the next
in line for insural service. It will prob-
ably be sent to one of the United States
insular possessions wihin a year, and it
is deemed practicable to have all we
cam panics together before they are sent
out of the I'nlted States. There is some
doubt as to whether this plan will be
considered feasible by the War Depart-
ment. but an attempt will be made to
effect the concentration.
If such a things is brought about it will
mean a long jaunt for the companies sta-
tioned at Fort Ringgold, Fort Brown and
Fort Mcintosh. A recent ruling of tho
War Department is to the effect that
when companies are moved from one
post to another and the distance to be
traveled is less than 500 miles the march
shall -be made on foot.
Should the troops be moved from these
forts the forts will have to be regarri-
soncd with other troops.

Kdward B. Hensley of company G has
been appointed a corporal to fill a va-
tney because of another corporal's be-
ing reduced.
Infantry drill will take place on the
post parade ground this afternoon at 4
clock.
Council Committee Opens and Consid-
ers Bids—Riebe's Is the
Lowest.
The City Council Finance Committee
considered the bids for the burial of de-
ceased paupers Thursday afternoon and
found the lowest hid was presented bt\
the Otto Riebe Undertaking Company.
The San Antonio Undertaking Company
presented two bids. One provided it
would do all the work for nothing and
donate $25 to the cemetery fund every
year. The other was a bid in which each
item of handling the funeral was to be
paid for.
The contract made a y#nr ago with
the San Antonio Undertaking Company
that is stiI in effect provides that all
work shall be done for nothing and that
the undertaking company shall donate $10
to the city cemetery fund annually.
The Mayor informed the Board of
Health when the contract was about to
expire that they should not renew it, as
it is not legal, ai'f if at any time the city
wished to enforce its contract when the
undertaking company does not wish to
handle the body, it could not be forced
to do so.
On account of not considering it fair
for one company to present two bids, the
Finance Committee ruled out the San
Antonio Undertaking Company's bids.
The contract will be awarded at the
next meeting of the City Council, which
will be held Monday.

15 DISEASE A CRIflE?
Dr. J. D. Hooker, Southern Drug Store,
9-12 a. m., 2-6 d. m. Phone connections.
Not so very long ago, a popular
magazine published an editorial article
in which the writer asserted, in sub-
stance, that all diseaso should bo re-
garded as criminal. Certain it is, that
much of the sickness and suffering of
mankind is due to the violation of cer-
tain of Nature's laws, which, if under-
stood and implicitly followed, would
result In tho prevention of much of the
sickness and suffering of humanity.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must, on a little
soner reflection, appeal to every rea-
sonable and Intelligent individual as
radically wrong.
Thousands suffer from contagious and
infectious diseases most innocently and
unconsciously contracted. Other thou-
sands suffer and die of cancerous affec-
tions, the cause of which no medical
man has yet been wise enough to fer-
ret out and determine, and which can
not, therefore, be avoided. Then too,
many times stress of circumstances
compel people to expose themselves to
various disease-producing agencies, such
as malaria, bad air in overheated factor-
ies, coal mines, and many other situations,
and surely those who suffer therefrom
should not be branded as criminals.
In-so-far as disease is contracted or
brought on one's self from harmful ex-
cesses, over-eating, intemperance and
other like indigencies and debauchery,
we think, with our editor friend, that it
should bo regarded as little less than
criminal. On the other hand, wo think it
would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes
criminal, to condemn tho poor, weak,
over-worked housewife who sinks under
tho heavy load of household cares and
burdens which she Is obliged to strugglo
along under until she succumhs'to the
strain and over-exertion, and suffers from
weaknesses, various displacements of
pelvic organs and other derangements
peculiar to her sex.
The too frequent bearing of children,
with its exacting demands upon the sys-
tem, coupled with the care, worry and
labor of rearing a large family, is often
the cause of weakness, derangements
and debility which the mother has to bear
and which are aggravated by the many
household cares, and the hard, and never-
ending work which she is called upon to
perform. Dr. Pierce, tne maker of that
world-famed remedy for women's peculiar
Ills—Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription-
says that one of the greatest obstacles to
the cure of this class of maladies is the
fact that the poor, overworked housewife
can not get the needed rest from her
many household cares and labor to enable
her to secure from the use of his "Pres-
cription " its full benefits. It is a matter
of frequent experience, ho says, in his
extensive practice in these cases, to meet
with those in which his treatment fails
by reason of the patient's inability to ab-
stain from hard work long enough to be
cured. With thoso suffering from pro-
lapsus, ante-version and retro-version
of the uterus or other displacement
of tho womanly organs, it is very neces-
sary that, in audition to taking his "Fa-
vorite Prescription" they abstain from
l>eing very much, or for long periods, on
their feet. All heavy lifting or straining
of any kind should »lso be avoided. As
much out-door air as possible, with mod-
erate, light exercise is also very import-
ant.
It is Dr. Pierce's observation that many
housewives suffer much in a weakened
condition of their system from too close
confinement in-doors. Often the kitchen,
where they spend most of their time, is
illy ventilated and the bad air and over-
heating thereof act most unfavorably
upon the woman's strength, until she
finds herself suffering from various weak-
nesses attended by backache, bearing-
down pains, or dragging-down sensations
that are extremely hard to bear. A ca-
tarrhal. pelvic drain, of most debilitating
and disagreeable nature, is a common
symptom of the congested or Inflamed
condition of the lining membranes of the
pelvic organs, attended, perhaps, with
tenderness and pain in these regions.
Now, while all the foregoing disagree-
able symptoms and sensations will gen-
erally yield to the faithful and somewhat
persistent use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, to realize the very best
results from its use, the patient must, as
far as possible, abstain from over-work,
worry, and too close confinement in-doors.
To such women as are not seriously out
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either in the way of house-
hold duties or in social duties and func-
tions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, the "Fa-
vorite Prescription " has proved a most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
ing nervine. By its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and tho
•urgeons' knife, would, it is believed,
seldom have to be resorted to if this most
valuable woman's remedy were resorted
to in good time. The "Favorite Prescrip-
tion "has proven a great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child-
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please, that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their harmless character, but is a medi-
cine of known composition, a full list of
all its ingredients being printed, in plain
English, on every bottle wrapper. An
examination of this list of ingredients will
disclose the fact that it Is non-alcoholic
in Its composition, chemically pure glyc-
erine taking the place of the commonly
used alcohol, in its make-up. In this con-
nection it may not be out of place to state
that the "Favorite Prescription" of Dr.
Pierce is the only medicine put up for the
cure of woman's peculiar weaknesses and
ailments, and sold through druggists, that
does not contain alcohol, and that too In
large quantities. Furthermore, it is the
only medicine for woman's special dis-
eases. the ingredients of which have the
unanimous endorsement of all the loading
medical writers and teachers of all the
several schools of practice, and that too
as remedies for the ailments for which
"Favorite Prescription " Is recommended.
A little book of these endorsements will
be sent to any address, post-paid, and
absolutely free if you request same by
postal card, or letter, of Dr. £. V. Pierce.
Buffalo, N. Y.
Don't forget that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, for woman's weaknesses and
delicate ailments, is not a patent or secret
medicine, being tho "Favqrito Prescrip-
tion " of a regularly educated and gradu-
ated physician, engaged in the practice
of his chosen specialty—that of diseases
of women—that its ingredients are printed
in plain English on every bottle-wrapper;
that it is the only nicJIc'no especially
designed for tho cure of woman's diseases
that contains no alcohol, and the only
ono that has a professional endorsement
worth more than all the so-called "testi-
monials" cve.r published for other med-
icines.
