"There seemed to be nothing else to do
but to put the drunken American off the
train," said William Woodson, Pullman

special train, from which an Intoxicated
American was ejected at the station ot

northbound 'tip. Conductor Woodson

Bailey Question Likely to Beccme the
Paramount Issue Between the
Candidates—Campaign Will
Open in About 30 Days.
That the race for the State Senate
from this Senatorial district will be be-
tween John F. Onion and William A.
Cocke, both present members of the
lower Houso of the legislature from
Bexar County, is practically assured.
Mr. Cocke was yesterday afternoon ask-
ed if lie would make the race for the
Senate, as has been frequently rumored,
lie replied:
"1 will have a statement to make the
latter part of the present week."
Judging from the general attitude
which Mr. Cocke has maintained recent-
ly. this is practically considered as final
evidence that he will run for the Senate.
It is known that he has been waiting to
see who would announce for the place.
It has even been said that Mr. Cocke
would rather make the race for the Sen-
ato against Mr. Onion than against gome
others who have been mentioned in the
past, as Mr. Onion will run on the antl-
prohibition issue, upon which platform,
it is understood, Mr. Cocke will also
stand. With this issue annihilated as
regards the two men—and ll will ho an-
nihilated If both men advocate anti-
prohlhitlon—it will then narrow to other
issues between tlie* two candidates, tho
Baiiey question likely becoming para-
mount.
The two men It Is understood, will
maintain campaign headquarters In their
respective offices in this city. The cam-
paign will probably not open for thirty
days yet. hut already there is an under-
current of discussion and little else was
talked of yesterday In political circles.
It is generally conceded that Mr. Onion
will carry Bexar County, as he has he-
hind him the entire city and county or-
ganizatinns and is acceptable to Mayor
Callaghan. Mr. Onion also expects to
carry Gillespie Connly, owing to the
strong anti-prohlhltion sentiment there.
Mr. Cocke, on the other hand, caine to
San Antonio from the northern portion
of the Senatorial district and has
strong following there. He also expects
to carry Kerr County in the event of a
race.
The rule for old people is
one Cascaret daily. The bowels,
like other muscles, grow less active
with age. They need help.
Most old people mu9t gjve to the bowels some regular help,
else they suffer from constipation.
The condition is perfectly natural.
It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly.
For age is never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So alt old people need Cascarets.
And most of them need thpm daily.
One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect
this gentle aid to weak bowel*.
The bowels must be kept active. This «s important at all ages, but
never so much as at sixty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day.
What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used without harm.
And there is no matter of choice.here.
The only such tonic is Cascarets.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never
In bulk. Be sure to get the genuine, with CC Con every tablet. The price
Is SO cents, 25 cents and
10 Cents per Box.
In the hVnirth Court ot Civil Appeals
yesterday morning fix decisions were
handed down, it was also submission
day. Three cases were affirmed and a
number ot motions tor rehearing were
acted upon. A majority of the cases
considered were from fa so. An opin-
ion was handed down concerning an in-
surance policy, appealed irom the lower
court or Hexar County.
Attendant upon the court were 1<\ U.
Morns, tormer judge or the Fitty-lhird
District Court, and John Franklin, both
ot K1 Faso, here to submit a damage
suit appealed trom tA 1'aso.
In the case of Otto Ueise, plaintiff in
error, vs. Pennsylvania Fire Insurance
Company, detendant in error, lroni Bexar
County, involving a writ of garnishment
in which the payment ot an insurance
policy amounting to «41.tfJ is concerned.
Associate Justice Neill handed down an
opinion reversing tne lower court s judg-
ment and rendering In tavor of Ueise.
The Judgment of the District Court was
in tavor ot Frank fcinmiang, it being
snown tnat Ueise was a judgment debtor
to Simmang in a sum greater than tho
policy amount. The Insurance company
admitted its indebtedness to Geise in ..a
original answer, at which time Geiso in-
tervened and claimed that the money
owed him was due on certain property
that is exempt trom execution.
*ne opinion holds that the law pro-
tects from garnishment money due on
an insurance policy for the loss of ex-
empt property, and also contends that a
rrstauranteur, Ueise s business, is en-
titled to as much protection under tho
exemption laws as an insurance agent.

Sullivan Files Suit Against
Tax Collector to Restrain
Collections on Stock.
ACCIDENTS RESULT IN
FILING OF MANY SUITS
D. Sullivan, head of the banking: firm
ot' D. Sullivan & Co., has instituted ati
injunction suit against John A. Bitter,
County Tax Collector, in the Forty-fifth
District Court. Tho plaintiff seeks to
restrain the County Tax Collector from
collecting certain taxes on bank stock.
This suit is set for hearing at the noon
hour today by Judge J. 1#. Camp, and is
expected to be the culmination of a mat-
ter relating to the duties of County
Boards of Equalization that has been in
dispute for some time, with r« fcrence
to the particular case of Mr. Sullivan.
The hearing it is expected will attract
considerable attention. It is one in which
the plaintiff contends that a County
Board of Equalization is not empowered
to add to assessments made by the Coun-
ty Tax Assessor, but that these boards
are only permitted to appraise and, if
seen fit, to raise values.
The entire bank stock of the plaintiff
was assessed for taxes tin a valuation
of $20,000. The Bexar County Board of
Equalization, in considering the assess-
ment, it is represented, added on over
liioa.ooo as being taxable, it is said that
when the board was in session the plain-
tiff was summoned to appear and assist
in arriving at an approximate true valu-
ation, but that no appearance was made,
as a result of which tho added valuation
was agreed upon.
The petition alleges that the Board of
Equalisation exceed.d its authority, ami
that it added to instead of raising the
value of the bank stock.
The amount of taxes in addition to that
which would be collectible on the $20,000
assessment is about $100o. This amount
will not be overdue until after January
31, when it will ordinarily be placed upon
the unrendered list It is in order to per-
petually restrain the Tax Collector from
collecting the increased amount that tho
writ of Injunction is sought.
The plaintiff will be represented by
Newton & Ward, and Bexar County by
Tom J. Newton, County Attorney, anil
Dan Lewis, Assistant County Attorney.

The case of Aug. H. Richtcr against

ares for alleged personal Injuries, which
has been on trial In ~
One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to tho relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur-
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the mosf careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it ie well
known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its corroct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc-
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all tho term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hoar
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantago, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully tho subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has wot
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed btcauso
of tho excellence, of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac-
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—
Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from.Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Info*med of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, wc have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlest; it win always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co.—
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—'Syrup of
Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name — Syrup of Figs — which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, £>. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbraoded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

MAYOR AGAIN AT DUMP.
Reiterates Former Statement That
Conditions Are Not Bad—Resi-
dents to Have Hearing.
Mayor Callaghan was asked yesterday
afternoon concerning the status of the
city dumping ground controversy and
replied there was nothing new.
"I notice," said tho Mayor, "that there
have been threats of a suit for $100,000
against the eity for damages. I wonder
how the $100,000 will be divided in case it
is recovered."
Tho Mayor yesterday requested the city
secretary to look over the list of names
signed to the petition to have the trouble
remedied and to examine, through the
City Engineer's office, the distance of
the loading complainants from the city
dump. In this way he says he will try
to arrive in his own mind at the merits
of thu- complaints made.
"I am not through with the matter,"
sakl tlie Mayor, "and it must not he
considered that way. Neither is the
special committee through with the mat-
ter. The citizens of South Heights will
be given all the hearing they desire and
the decision will be made. I have fre-
quently set forth niy views in the prem-
ises. I was at the dump this morning
and have been there several mornings
of late. I have failed to find any of
the deplorable conditions that, have been
described. 1 repeat that no one desires
to have a city dumping ground near
their premises, even if no odor enanates
from the place, but it is often the case
that the good of a city demands it."
The committee will probably meet late
this week, when delegates from South
Heights will appear before the body and
make their arguments and appeals. It
is probable thai the Board of Health will
attend one of the committee meetings to
report on conditions as they found them
when they made a trip to the dump, ft
is felt that, tiie committee, with the citi-
zens and the Hoard of Health nresent,
as well as the information concerning'
distanees, will be able to arrive at some
decision. Threats of a suit have been
made by the citizens of South Heights
for the abatement of a nuisance. An
attorney residing on the Heights has ad-
vised that no suit be filed until the
re^tilt of the petition is known and until
tiie committee reports.
Mayor Callaghan takes the position
that if he thought conditions were bad
enough to justify the recovery of dam-
ages through suit against the city, he
would be more than ready to fake action
without the bringing of a suit.
MEETING OF D. R. T. CHAPTER.
Invitations Will Be Extended for the
April Meeting to Be Held Here.
A called meeting of the Alamo Mission
Chapter, Daughters of tho Republic of
Texas, was held yesterday afternoon at
the residence of Mrs. Josephine Tobln.
The meeting was called for tiie purpose
ot electing those oflicers who were not

rough; second vice president, Mrs. A. M.
