The strike of the nine hour men
on the cable road of Dallas is a fail-

put to work and officers are on guard
to keep the agitators and strikers
from mole-itiug the men at work.

retired from the paper, but twenty-
years ago became sole proprietor
and has beld that relationship to it
ever since.
That the Banner was started on
a capital of $250 borrowed money
is literally true, for its proprietors
were but recently from a four years
service in the Confederate army,

The Ft. Worth Gazette accounts
for the agreement of the Western
laborites with Senator Blair, who in
their recently expressed admiration
want him appointed immigration
commissioner, on the grounds of
their ''harmony of hate'' towards the
Chinese.

begun between its original pro-

since, and with the exception of Mr.
Rankin himself no man is prouder
of the prosperity of the Brenham
Banner than the editor of The Texas

YOUTH.
Why is it so many grow old too
prematurely ?
The ladies of Helena, Ark., have
erected a handsome monument to
the memory of Gen. Patrick Cleburne
who was buried there. Gen.
Cleburne says the Fort Worth Ga-
Said an old man: " If there is anything
that will make an old man feel young it is
Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla." Yes, there
is a deal of buoyancy in a bottle of this
excellent remedy, ana if it was more gen-
erally used there would be fewer folks
growing prematurely old. The healing
and strengthening herbs that enter into its
composition make it one of the finest re-
juvenating medicines that can be com-
Eounded. Said a young wife, when asked
otr she managed to live so happily with
DO YOU
her hiuband, who was quite an old man,
" I keep him youthful by giving him Bull's
Sarsaparilla." It is a good thing when a
feeling of old age or decrepitude creep»
into the system to rout it at once with
Bull's StorsaparilLa. It makes the old feel
young, and the young feel buoyant. An
active old lady said she "couldn't keep
up long when her bottle of Bull's Sarsa-
parilla got emptv.*' It's a good thing for
old people. Everyone, young or old,
should counteract the evil effects of nerv-
ousness, weakness, and debility by a use
of Bull's Sarsaparilla. It keeps the system
in tine condition. You will sleep better,

you will eat better, your food will digest
better, you will feel better every way if
you occasionally use this great tonic and
alterative.
Ephralm Rurnet, Rmit.hlancI, Ky., writes:
"I am an old man, eighty-three years of
age, yet I can walk live miles to town and
back, and' teei none the worse for It. Every
■prlng I take a dozen or fifteen bottles of
Bull's Sarsaparilla. It puts my system in
fine condition, and I feel pood and agile the
whole year through. It lius worked soma
