The first through train of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas road to arrive from Chi-
cago came rolling into the depot which
marks the gulf terminus at 10.45 yesterday
morning. There was a large crowd on hand
to welcome the train and its cargo of live
and active visitors, and as the engine
slowed up at the platform a brass band
and the brazen throat of a piece of artil-
lery; handled by the Galveston artillery
company, led the chorus of welcome to the j slight"4°will
Resolutions by the Qalveston Hoo-Hoos on
C. H. McCarer's Death.
The news of the death of Charlos H. Mo-
Carer was received with sincere and genu-
ulne regret by the lumbermen and Hoo-
Hoos of Galveston. He was always a cen-
tral figure in the gatherings of the lumber-
men, and his pleasant manners and genial
and sunny disposition, even after disease
had laid heavy hold upon him, made him
one of the most popular of a party of his
associates and friends. He died on the 18th,
and the Northwestern Lumberman thus
chronicles the sad event:

new connection. After the crowd at the
depot had partially quieted down and the
passengers had had an opportunity to
realize "where they were at," Major R.
V. Davidson rose and made an address
welcoming the visitors and the Katy, and
was responded to by Superintendent J. W.
Maxwell of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
who is never without something good to
say and generally takes the right time to
say It. What he said yesterday morning
was in line with his interview previously
published in The News.
After the speaking at the depot the train
for a visit to the Jetties was made up,
pulled out and the crowd dispersed.
Yesterday morning General Superintend-
ent J. W. Maxwell, General Passenger
Agent W. G. Crush, General Freight Agent
John W. Allen and Mr. Milton Powell of
the Beach hotel boarded the north-bound
Katy at 4.30 bound for Houston, to meet
the Chicago limited due In Houston at 8.40
a. m. Promptly on time the train arrived,
and Billy Houlahan and "Baldy" Connell
set to work at once to decorate the cars
with banners and flags and streamers.
Conductor Harry Loomis was in charge
of the train, and the engineer, J. C. Bowers,
with his fireman, C. C. Cole, were in charge
of the engine. J. C. Bowers, nic-named
"Jow Bowers." and Conductor Loomis are
the same gentlemen who brought the first
Katy train into Houston.
The engine and engineer were both
changed at. Houston. Engineer George May
and Frank Reynolds, his fireman, with No.
09, gaily decorated, brought the first through
train to Galveston from Chicago.
Conductor Loomis continued in charge
of his train right on into Galveston.
The train consisted of one baggage car,
a smoker, chair car, Wagner sleeper and
the general superintendent's car, No. 26.
Mr. A. F. Andrews, conductor of the sleep-
er, came through from Chicago. Arriving
at Houston he tendered his car to the guests
of the road, which was accepted and highly
appreciated.
Quite a number of Houston people with
their families and friends were glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity offered
to visit Galveston, to ride on the first
through train and participate in the recep-
tion given by Galveston's citizens.
Among the passengers that came from
Houston the following is a partial list:
Mr. F. Durstag and wife, H. D. Lidstone
and wife, F. C. Bering and wife, Fred Mun-
dies and wife. Mrs. W. C. Lambert and
family, Mrs. W. C. Huston, W. B. Mills,
E. E. Peden, R. P. Smith, Captain F. Alien,
George A. Cragln, C. B. Howard, H. W.
Kirkland, C. W. McKlmaey, M. S. Lewis,
Mrs. J. S. Price, Miss Hennie Price, Miss
and business acquaintances, his long ill-
I ness, characterized by extreme suffering,
i was known and his death was not unex-
j pected. Nevertheless news of the fact that
I Charley McCarer is dead will be read by
many a moistened eye from Chicago to
I Sabine Pass, and many whose actual in-
tercourse with him may have been but
mourn the loss of a kindly,
genial friend. No man who ever traveled
; in the south country possessed in a more
umlnent degree the faculty of making and
l holding friends. No man could have fewer
j enemies. During his long period of suffer-
i ing scarcely a letter that has come to this
j oihce from his favorite field, "The Great
Southwest," but wound up with the kindly
: query, "How's Mac?"
j While the time actually spent by Mr.
McCarer in the office of the Lumberman
was exceedingly brief, not an attache of
; this office, from the proprietor to office
i boy, but feels a personal loss. His was
one of the most kindly and lovable natures
i the writer ever knew. He was a manly
man, yet gentle as a woman. He was thor-
oughly broad gauge, never lost confidence
in humanity, was intolerant toward none.
He possesed a keen and unerring sense
of right and justice, and would be equally
as quick to defend a competitor as a col-
league. It was the quality of wide open
candor, the ability to look all men straight
in the eye, that won and kept friends. He
was always In love with his work, and
its untimely closing is a loss alike to the
journal and the lumbermen of the south-
west, whose interests he aimed to serve
with impartial fidelity.
Mr. McCarer was a native of Evansville,
Ind., was educated for the law, and at
one time engaged In the practice of It. He
was a graduate of Wabash college of the
class of 1875. In the early '80s he was as-
sistant United States district attorney at
Indianapolis under C. L. Holstein, and did
nearly all the work of the district attor-
ney's office before Judge—now secretary
of state—Gresham, whose kindly regard he
enjoyed. He was at that time deeply in-
terested in Indiana politics, and was thor-
oughly well known over a considerable por-
tion of that state. His first newspaper
work was as southwestern representative
of the Mississippi Valley Lumberman, with
headquarters in St. Louis. A serious ill-
ness terminated this connection with that
journal, and in the fall of 1891 he came to
the Lumberman and was a valuable ac-
quisition to its family. He was 29 years
old, and leaves a widow but no children.
He always adhered to the idea that he was
the only living man bearing the name of
McCarer.
His remains were Interred Monday of the
present week in the family burial ground
at Evansvile.
Appended to the above notice are tributes
from J. Newton Nlnd, W. E. Barns, J. E.
Deffebaugh, and 13. Arthur Johnson, all
well known to the lumbermen of this sec-
tion.
As soon as the news of his untimely
death was received in Galveston the Hoo-
Hoos met and adopted the following reso-
lutions, an engrossed copy of which will
be carried by Mr. Charles H. Moore to the
national meeting in a few days:

A petition in intervention has been filed
by Martha A. Wood in equity, cause No.

TO EXPEDITE MAIL DELIVERY.
On account of the late hour at which all
the northern and eastern mails arrive now
(9.30 a. m.) and the necessary and unavoid-
able delay In distributing the great mass of
matter arriving by those trains Postmaster
Sinclair has made application to the post-
office department for permission to send
one of the Galveston clerks to Houston to
meet this mail and "work" It, or the bulk
of It, there and en route to this city. If he
can get this authority he says he can put
ihe mall into the hands of the people, es-
pecially the business portion, at least an
hour earlier than he is now able to do. On
account of the mass of the mails coming in
as they do now, all together, it Is impossi-
ble to work them for the carriers in less
than one and a half hours, so the carriers
for the business district can not get out on
their routes much before 11.30 o'clock a.
m., even with the greatest eifort on the
part of the office force, and on account of
the several connections the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson has to wait for at
Houston there is great danger of the train
being late.
Colonel Sinclair will have the earnest in-
dorsement and good wishes of the people
In his effort to improve the mall service,
and great benefit will result, especially to
business men, if the request above referred
to is granted.
WORKS SHUT DOWN.
Superintendent John A. Cotter of the
Galveston wharf company's creosote works,
in accordance with a notice from President
Kellog, Al Stern, John
Thomas. There were several passengers
coming through from St. Louis and Chi-
cago and other points along the road.
Superintendent Maxwell's private car
was attached to the train and the following
railroad officials composed the personnel:
Superintendent J. W. Maxwell, General
Passenger Agent W. G. Crush, General
Freight Agent J. W. Allen, R. B. Courtney,
ticket agent, R. S. Fife, commercial agent,
and Vice President Baer of the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson.
Conductor Loomis yelled "All aboard for
Galveston" at seven minutes past 9 o'clock
at Houston, and the engineer blew the
whistle for the start, arriving in Galveston
at 10.45, making the run in 1 hour and 38
minutes.

JETTY EXCURSION.
After the crowd of spectators had cleared
away from the train so the men could
handle it, the sleeper and car No. 26 were
cut out and the engine with the baggage
car and two coaches were then ready to
make the excursion to the jetties. The
cars, even to the baggage car and engine,
were soon crowded to their utmost capacity
and away they went. The baggage car
was occupied by the Voight-Berry and
Beach bands.
The train was run out to the life saving
station and many persons in the train from
the interior found much interest in watch-
ing the waves break on the rocks. The
Sealy hospital and medical college were
shown out to the visitors, as was Bolivar
point. This latter place one man insisted
was Beaumont and he wanted to see the
lumber mills and "that Air Line railroad."

NOTES OF THE EVENT.
While the crowd was waiting at the de-
pot yesterday morning for the Katy flyer
an incident occurred that furnished a world
of sport for the gamins who were there in
force. A crowd of youngsters were stand-
ing on an upended barrel of molasses,
when the head of the barrel caved in, drop-
ping one of them into the "long sweetnin', "
and when he emerged dripping and weep-
ing his companions set upon him and
chased him around the block yelling,
shouting and screaming. The boy finally
got away and went down to get the ilre-
boys to turn the hose on him and save him
from the files and mosgultoes.
The last seen of W. O. Crush was In the
door ol' the baggage car, with his pedal ap-
pendages dangling on the outside, with a "I
don't care whether school keeps or not"
expression on his face.
Just before running into the depot here
one of Houston's fairest, in her noble effort
to respond to the enthusiastic welcome of
some of her friends near the depot, lost
her cap. About fifty or more urchins
made a dash to secure it. They evidently
tore It up In their excitement and took
the remnants with them as mementoes of
the occasion, as it has never been heard
of since. And the lady—well, she did not
care.
Charles Henderson McCarer, who was and
is beloved by all of the brotherhood of the
Concatenated order of Hoo-Hoos, there-
fore be It
Resolved, by the Galveston contingent
of the order of Hoo-Hoos, that we deeply
mourn the loss of a most valuable officer,
a true brother and sincere friend; and be It
further
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to Brother Geo. K. Smith,
scrlvenator, with the request that he pre-
sent same to oar brothers at the annual
meeting at Chicago on September 9, 1893,
and that he be requested also to furnish
a copy of these resolutions to the family
of our deceased brother.

OLD AND NEW LANDMARK.
Forty-three years ago Peter Gengler es-
tablished a family grocery store in Gal-
veston, which has since his death been
conducted by his sons. The business has
J. M. Brown, closed the works down and i grown with the city and the name has
laid off the men employed there last night,
except a few hands who will be retained
until to-morrow night to clear up some
little work not yet completed. The works
have been employing about twenty-four
men, and the order to shut down is the
result of a movement In the way of re-
trenchment. President Brown says there
Js a superabundant supply of material on
hand, and the demand has fallen off until
it Is necessary to stop work until the pres-
ent supply is materially reduced. The
works will remain closed Indefinitely.

Recently the sons and successors of the
pioneer groceryman concluded that the de-
mands ol the trade and the success of the
business warranted a new store, and the
old frume house landmark at 2005 Market
street was torn down. In its place a hand-
some modern two-story brick has gone up,
and yesterday it was opened to the public.
The friends of the firm called in great
numbers throughout the day and evening
and found one of the airiest and prettiest
stores in Galveston, bright and inviting,
with a complete new stock of endless
variety tustlly displayed. Ferns and other
plants lent freshness to the rooms, and the
genial welcome of the Gengler boys and
their clerks was met by hearty congratu-
lations and good wishes.
A new landmark Is made and an honora-

A VIEW OF GALVESTON.
How a Houston Man Sized up the Seaport's
Opportunities.
A News man met Mr. H. D. Lidstone,
secretary of the Houston commercial club,
on the street yesterday morning, and
among a good many things that he spolfc
of the following are his remarks about Gal-
veston:
"You can talk about your Hot Springs
at Arkansas, and Waco's hot wells, and j
Tampico Springs, Mexico, and your moun- j
tain resorts, but Galveston has water with
medicinal qualities equal to any of these.
She has too long been asleep to the fact I
that with her natural advantages and by came
her citizens advertising more the curative
powers of salt water, the building of more
hotels or boarding houses on her beach, she
would lead them all as health resorts.
"With hotel accommodations at $20 or $25
a month you would have faimllles that
would remain with you months at a time.
Persons can live pleasantly in Galveston
for nine months out of the twelve. You
go to a doctor for treatment of the ca-
tarrh, and nine persons out of ten suffer
with it, he tells you to take a bowlful of
water and place a handful of salt in it.
and inhale It. Now we can go but to the
beach and take a plunge In the surf, enjoy
a good bath, while In It draw the water
through your nostrils, or take a mouthful
and blow It through the nose, come out
and take a walk along the beach and In-
hale the air as It comes from over the
gulf. You see all alone the railroads flar-
ntf inlvertlsements of how this man came
to the hot wells of some health resort
on crutches, and how he walks as well as
the best of us, a living advertisement of
the curative powers of the water. Why
don't Galveston do this? Send out her ad-
vertisements all over the country, build UP
more hotels, make reasonable rates and
have people stay with you nine months
out of the year. Let your own gulfside
friends take to the mountains, but bring
the folks from the Interior to your city,
and not let them stray away.
"Your wholesalers are fixed, they have
a good established trade, but by drawing
these people here you help out your re-
tailers wonderfully.
"I like to see, as I did this morning,
Houston and Galveston work In harmony.
It is so much pleasanter. There is room
for them both. Now we up at Houston
have the pine and pinetops and hear the
wind mournfully sigh through their tops.
But Galveston wants the tourists—that's
what you want—the tourists."

WENT TO A PICNIC.
There was a grand negro excursion to
Clear Lake yesterday, and several thou-
sand of the colored population took It In.
They had a good time at the lake, and on
the way back to town several fights oc-
curred, and one or two of the picnickers
dropped by the wayside. One of those who
dropped off the train and Is unable or un-
willing to say whether he fell off or was
knocked off Is Frank Thomas, who arrived

company, and L. C. Castetter and John
Bell, two of his employes, for assault upon
a colored youth named John Hall, who
was suspected of using obscene language
to the lady operators of the central office
of the telephone company, was the attrac-
tion at the recorder's court yesterday
morning.
When the cajse was first called, the at-
torneys for the defense demanded a sev-
erance, which was granted, and they elect-
ed that John Bell, the youngest of the
defendants, be first placed upon trial. The
morning session of the court was occu-
pied with skirmishing between the oppos-
ing counsel, and the complainant, John
Hall, was placed upon the stand. Before
he had gotten well into his testimony,
the hour became so late that it was sug-
gested that an adjournment until 3 o'clock
in the afternoon would be In order, and
this was agreed to by Recorder Johnson.
When court reconvened at 3 o'clock the
hearing of the testimony of John Hall,
the negro youth alleged to have been as-
saulted, was resumed, Recorder Johnson
saving: "Before we go into this case the
officers will see that perfect order is main-
tained." iV
The witness, John Hall, taking up the
thread of his evidence given In tne morn-
ing, testified that on the 12th day of August
he did not use obscene language over the
telephone and never did such a thing In
his life. He further testified that the first
thing he knew about it was when Man-
ager Powell wanted to see him on that
Friday, when he telephoned to the office of
Drs. Hodges and Haden, where he was em-
ployed, asking for him. The witness then
testified that his employes generally left
the office aj^out P o'clock In the afternoon
and that he followed in a few minutes
after, and that they did so on the day the
alleged indecent language is said to have
passed over the telephone wire. Witness
did not go into Cash & Luckel's office that
afternoon, and left the premises about
seven minutes after 5 o'clock; knew the
time from Thompson's clock, which he saw
from across the street; 'remained on the
opera house corner until 6 o'clock, when he
went to the barber shop and from there
home. "The next morning at 9.30 Dr.
Hodges told me to go to the central tele-
phone office, as I was wanted there. I
went there, proceeded up two flights of
stairs and went into what I think wus Mr.
Powell's office. There were three men
there and I was assaulted. I can identify
all three of the men." , , _
Cross-examined: "When I reached the
telephone office I asked if anyone wanted
to see me. Mr. Powell replied, 'Yes, and
asked me to step into a rear room. When
I reached there he asked me if I had been
using bad language through the telephone
at Cash & Luckel's office. I said that 1
had not, as I left the office at eight min-
utes past 6, ' IJ£ called in a lady and asked:
'Is this the vOlce you heard through the
telephone?' She said': 'Yes;' but I denied
it. Mr. Powell then said: 'I have a mind
to kill you.' I did not hear anyone say:
'Don't hit him, Powell, unless he admits
it' I had seen Bell before and I could
recognize him. There were three men
present, but did not notice them particu-
larly, as X did not think they were going
to bother me. I do not know that Bell
had a stick in his hand; did not know Cas-
tetter at the time, and did not know eitner
of the three men by name. I was cooped
up in the room and after the lady went
out Powell assaulted me."
Then there was quite a passage at arms
betwnen counsel as to the admissibility or
i testimony, and after the recorder had
1 ruled upon i'. (he witness proceeded:
"I did not admit that I used obscene
language before I was struck. When I
made the admission Powell had me down.
He said: 'You admit it or 111 kill
you ' He had me down and that is the
reason I admitted it. They hit me across
the stern with a piece of board; the de-
fendant did not hit me with his (1st, and
did not give me this eye. They had me in
the building beating me for halt an hour.
When I got out I came to the police sta-
tion. I was riot fltrhtlng, but they had me
dodging aro'ii 1. Each of the three men
had clubs and hit me with them until I
broke away. I do not know in what par-
ticular place Bell hit me, but know I was
struck on the quarters."
Counsel for the state said: "This ends
the case so far as defendant is concerned,
but the court'held otherwise and the testi-
mony proceeded with.
Hall: Powell was the first man who
seized me, and the last to let me go. I
went down three flights of stairs and
stumbled, but did not cut myself In falling.
Powell hit me on the stirs, and followed
me to the end of the stairs. I met a po-
liceman near by on the street and begged
for protection. The policeman asked tne
what was the matter, and I went to the
station and made charges against the three
men The policeman went up and arrested
them I was in the police office when they
pime back and Identified them. When
Powell had me down I said: "For God's
sake let me „p. I did It." I thought It
was a good way to get off, and he asked me
in such a manner as to make me think that
If I admitted It he would let me off. I
never thought of sending any insulting
messages. (Here witness described the lo-
cation of the two offices and how easy it
was for a person who desired to do so to
get from one room to the other and use the
telephone.] Was once before the recorder
un'er arrest; a man shot at me because he
said I was going to his wife's house If
anyone called on Hodges & Haden's tele-
phone on that day 1 did not answer it.
When they wanted a call they always

on Twenty-second 9treet heard the cry of
"murder" and saw Hall covered with
blood. He said three men In the telephone
office were trying to murder him I saw
Hall had been severely beaten and brought
him to the police station. He was covered
with blood and had some severe cuts. I
wanted him to get a warrant for the peo-
ple who had assaulted him and he said
he would wait until he saw Drs. Hodges
& Haden. He was nervous and dazed,
and said three men In the telephone office
had jumped on him and wanted to kill
him. He was very badly scared.
Cross-examined: The boy was able to
walk to the station. He was very nervous.
I only saw one cut on the head. His eye
was bunged up very badly.
Dr Hodges, sworn: Have resided In Qal-
veston since 1887. John Hall has been In
my emplov since January last. The boy
was sent for from the telephone office
on the 25th of August last. The message
said Mr. Powell wanted to speak to me,
and asked me to send the office boy around
to the telephone office. When the boy came
In 1 delivered the message and directed
him to go to the central telephone office.
Saw him a half or three-quarters of an
hour later in my office with his clothes
torn and bloody, a scalp wound and the
right side of his face swollen, showing
that he had been badly used. Powell came
to the office before I saw the boy and said
that he was very sorry to deprive me of an
office boy; did not think 1 would recognize
him when I saw him, and said he would
expect me to discharge him. Intimating that
if I did not that he would remove the tele-
phone. Powell said the boy had been In-
sulting ladles in the telephone office. I
said I did not think the boy was guilty and
I had a conversation with Mr. Powell later
when we talked the matter over at length.
In the meantime I lmd the boy's story,
and asked him what he had been doing.
He replied that two persons held him while
one beat him. I told Mr. Powell that I
thought he had taken snap Judgment. He
Hald he had Investigated the matter and
had discovered that ■—— had done tha
talking over the telephone. I discovered
that the boy was not present at the time
the telephoning was going on. After I left
the office on Friday I saw the boy getting
ready to shut the windows down.
Cross-examined: Have never heard of the
boy doing such a thing as he Is charged
with, and never knew him to use bad lan-
guage. I am not accusing anyone; and
am as much Interested as anybody In locat-
ing the guilty parties. TOe afternoon I left
there was no one In Cash & Luckel s office,
but I showed Powell how easy it would be
for a person to pass from one room to the
other, by the removal of a bookcuse that
stood In a doorway. Several parties have
aecess to the hall and the offices, and in
timos btuL it bad Lweu a rtuidexvom* tor.
He looked as it he was about to keel over;
had a scalp wound, his eye was closed,
clothes torn, and he looked as If he had
been done up about the body. Identified
Bell as one of the defendants, who said:
"I was In It; Powell and the rest of them
have gone down to your office." Hall said
the boy Bell was "in it," and helped the
others to beat him. Judging from his ap-
pearance when I saw him he was in a bad
fix, but I did not think he would die. 1 do
not know that I could tell with what wea-
pons the wounds were inflicted.
Cross-examined: I am a specialist, and
am not engaged in the general practice of
medicine; did not examine Hail's body,
and can not tell what the result of the
injury to his eye will be.
John Bell, the defendant, sworn: I am
going on 16 years ot age; have worked in
the telephone office for more than three
years; am general office boy, and collect,
pack boxes and shift telephones. Do not
know Hall: saw him once when I went to
fix a telephone. The next time I saw him
was when he came to the office. Don t
know anything about the obscene language;
was told that was none of my business;
did not know that Powell was about to
have trouble about it. and did not know
that either Powell or Castetter had intend-
ed to do Hall bodily harm. I had not had
any trouble with Hall. Powell took him
into the back room. Wilson. Castetter and
Mr. Bell were there. Wilson Is foreman of
the linemen. I was packing a telephone
box, and Wilson was fixing up a line. Did
not know Hall was there until he came
in. as the room la large and Is used as a
general store room. Powell told me to call
Miss —, chief operator, and when she
came In asked: "Is this the boy, and she
replied, "Yes, I believe it is." I stood
there and Powell grabbed him (Hall). That
is all she said. She went out of the door.
I stood there. 1 had no stick and never
struck a blow. Did not know why he had
been sent for. I did not, beat Hall on the
stern or across the eyes. Hall was not In
the room twenty minutes. Powell grabbed
him by the shirt. The boy said he did It.
but would not do so again, and that some
one had put him up to It. a , ,,
By state: Did not say I had a hand In It:
did not touch the boy; do not know who hit
him on the head; did not kick or touch him.
The lady identified him as the one who had
used the language through the telephone.
There were two openings to the room,
and the boy went through one of them
Into the operating room and then down
stairs
Cross-examined: Am IB years old, will be
16 on July 15, 1891. When Dr. Haden asked
who beat the boy I said Powell and Castet-
ter; told him I was not in the light.
After some further testimony Recorder
Johnson adjourned the further hearing of
the case until 9 o'clock this morning.
cotton buyers through that section show
that the number of bales of cotton bought
for the w»«k is less than 10 por cent of
tha amount reported from the same sec-
tion last year for the same period, but
tha: the sales of cotton seed are In excess
of last year's sales for the same time.
"This," adds the writer, "shows that cot-
ton Is being gathered, and, though the
price to-day averages %c above the price
on the same day last vear, the farmer Is
holding his cotton and forcing his merchant
to bear the strain. It can not be expected
that this sort of thing will last long, and
the merchants are even now talking of
shutting down upon the issuance of sup-
plies, as they are, they say, not able to
bear the brunt of the whole thing under
the present trying conditions."

HEALTHFUL BUSINESS TONE.
The Indications of returning prosperity
multiply every day. The situation in south
Texas, as shown by reports from business,
is epitomized In the following report sent
out last night by Manager E. H. Gorse
of Dun's mercantile agency In this city:
"Bankers here report money easier. Cot-
ton is moving slowly, however ,nnJ col-
lections are retarded somewhat on this ac-
count. A more confident feeling prevails.
Two suspended banks In south Texas have
resumed. Failures are light and the gen-
eral business tone Is more healthful than
for some weeks." . , .
His report further shows that there were
eleven failures in the south Texas terri-
tory for the week, the heaviest of which
showed liabilities of about S10,W0 and as-
sets of nearly double that figure.
The members of the police and fire de-
partment were handed yesterday their time
checks.

iT'S A SECRET-
that many women
owe their beauty
to Dr. Pierce's Far
vorite Prescription.
The reason—beau-
ty of form anil
face, as wall as
Sace, radiate from
s common center
--health. The best
bodily condition re-
sults from good
food, fresh air, and
exeroiso, coupled
with the judicious
use of the "Prescription." In maid-
enhood, womciibiiod, and motherhood, it's a
supporting tonio that's peculiarly adapted to
her needs, regulating, strengthening, and
curing, the derangements of Hie sex.
If there be headache, pain iu the back,
bearing-down sensations, or general debility,
or if there be nervous disturbances, nervous
prostration, and sleeplessness, the " Prescrip-
tion" reaches the origin of the trouble and
corrects it It dispels aches and pains, cor-
rects displacements and euros catarrhal in-
flammation of the lining membranes. It's
guaranteed to benefit or euro, or tho money
paid for It Is refunded.
