BLOCKADED.

Resist It.
The back aches because the
kidneys are blockaded.
Help the Kidneys with their
work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills do this.
J. A. Paty, living on Rural
Free Delivery No. 5, Honey
Grove, Texas, says: “About
three years ago I began to be
troubled with a pain across my
back and loins. It gradually got
worse until I was in a pretty bad
shape. I could not stoop without
suffering a twinge or pain. I
tried several remedies, without
results. Seeing Doan’s Kidney
Pills advertised I went to Dailey
& Henderson’s Drug Store and
got a box. They helped me so
much that I continued their use
and am now on my third box,and
can say that Doan’s Kidney Pills
have done me much good. The
pain haa disappeared and the se-
cretions have become regular.”

turned the book, pointing to the
thirteenth chapter of John:
“Having many things to write
upon to you, I would not write
with pen and4nk, but trust to
come to you and speak face to
face that our joy may be full.”
From the above interview a mar-
riage took place the following
week. — Ex.
Love at First Si^ht.
A young gentleman happened
to sit in a church in a pew ad-
joing one in which sat a young
lady for whom he conceived a
sudden and violent passion, was
desirous of entering into a court-
ship with her on the spot; but the
place not suiting a formal declar-
ation, the exigency of the case
suggested the following plan:
He politely handed his fair neigh-
bor an open Bible with a pin
stuck in the following text: “And
now I beseech thee, lady, not as
I wrote a new commandment un-
to thee, but that which we love
one another.” She returned it
pointing to the second chapter of
Ruth, tenth verse: “Then she
fell on her face and bowed her-
self to the ground, and said unto
him, “Why have I found grace
in thine eyes, that thou shouldst
take knowledge of me, seeing
that I am a stranger?” He re-
Cat Adopts Young Rabbits.
John A. McEwin, of Caviness,
who was a visitor to the city yes-
terday, related an interesting in-
stance of animals bestowing
their affections on others of dif-
ferent species. There is an old
house cat on his place with a
small litter of kittens which are
not quite two weeks old. One
day last week while Mr. McEw-
in’s children were playing out in
the field they found an old rab-
bit’s nest with three young ones
in it. The children brought the
rabbits home to make pets of
them. For a day or two they
guarded the little rabbits very
carefully, fearing that Tabby
might get to them and kill and
make a meal of them. One day
however the rabbits in some way
managed to get with the kittens.
Since then the children have not
tried to keen them separate. The
old cat manifests the greatest af-
fection for them and they suck
as regularly as the kittens do.
The old cat apparently does not
know * the difference between
them and the kittens and thinks
they are her own offspring, or
she has transferred her mater-
nal instinct to them. She does
not show any difference whatever
in her treatment of them and
her own offspring. Mr. McEwin
says he is going to keep them
together all the time and see
what the old cat will do with
them when they get" larger.—

An Autumn Prayer.
Grant that these autumn days
may be our harvest season; that
our lives may reap the fruitage
of a well-spent year. Let us be
happy with the joy of the flaming
hillsides, with the glory of the
Indian summer, with the ecstacy
of the ripening grain; happy in
harvest of our high hopes, in the
gamer cf sweet memories, in the
ripening of true friendships,, in
the reaping of bounteous bless-
ings of tbe buoyant spring and
brimming summer; happy in the
knowledge of some little kindness
done, some great good gained;
happy in our new strength, our
surer hope, our wider lives and
loftier vision. Let these be our
jubilant days, the days of our
rejoicing.—Edwin Osgood Gro-
ver.

They Fear Indictment Under the New
State Health Laws.
R. M. Robinson, one of the
trustees of the Burnett school at
Biardstown, called on County
Superintendent R. B. Binnion
yesterday and tendered his res-
ignation on account of the rules
promulgated by the state health
officer under authority of the
Legislature requiring s c h o ojl
buildings to be swept every even-
ing after school and the floor
sprinkled with sawdust and a so-
lution of formaldyhide, the. walls
fumigated, etc., and that each
pupil bring his own drinking cup
to school. Under the regulations
there is a penalty of $50 for fail-
ure to comply with them and the
trustees are made liable jointly
with the teacher for failure to
comply with them. Mr. Robin-
son said that he couldn’t be at
the school house every evening
t)see that the regulations are
complied with and that he could
not run the risk bf being fined.
It is understood that Superintend-
ent Binnion has received the res-
ignations of two or three other
trustees for the same reason.—

Screw Worms in Man’s Head.
Paris, Tex.,Sspt. 24.—Afarm-
er by the name of McVeigh ar-
rived in Paris a few days ago
from Delta county. Mr. Mc-
Veigh was apparently suffering
from catarrh, but when his phy-
sician examined him he found
that his condition was a serious
one. Several months ago the
man suffered an attack of bleed-
ing at the nose; so great was the
loss of blood that he sat down
under a tree in the field to rest
and while there fell asleep. He
awoke shortly and went about
his business as usual until a few
days after he felt something
working in his nose and through-
out his nasal bones. For weeks
Mr. McVeigh suffered and finally
came to see a Paris specialist last
week, and the result is that four
hundred screw worms were taken
from his face and nose. The
physician stated that if the in-
sects had bored a little further
they would have struck the man’s
brain and death would have been
instantaneous. It is supposed
that when Mr. McVeigh fell
asleep that the flies got in their
work and later the eggs hatched
the screw worms.
An “Artesian” Cow.
Josephine, a cow on the state
farm at Columbia, Mo , is a sort
of bovine express. In one day
she gave 92.7 pounds of milk.
This is 11.5 gallons. This milk
made 3.5 pounds of butter. She
averaged 87.5 pounds for seven
days and 83 poundsjor 30 days.
Since the first days of May, when
she was fresh, she has averaged
73 pounds of milk a day. A gal-
lon of milk weighs eight pounds.
This is an average of nine gal-
lons of milk a day for three
months. This cow is milked
three times a day now. When
she gave her most it required
four milkings a day.—Ex.
Wants Different Oath.
The Comptroller has notified
Tax Assessor White that the
county rolls submitted to him are
not acceptable on account of the
way the oath is made to them.
Mr. White changed the form of
the oath as prescribed, and made
affidavit to the effect that the val-
uation of all property thereon
was as it was fixed by the Com-
missioners. The Comptroller
wants him to make affidavit that
the property is rendered at its
full value and this, Mr. White
says, he can not do.—Bonham
News.
An Ounce of Prevention
is worth a pound of cure. There are
many poor suffe ers. Consumptives
who are hopeless of getting well--
who, if they had taken care of them-
selves, would now be well. A cough
is the foundation of consumption.
Ballard’s Horehound Syrup will cure
that cough. Mrs. S--, Great Falls,
Montana, writes: “I have used Bal-
lard’s Horehound Syrup in my family
for years--my children never suffer
with coughs.” Sold by Black &
Little.
President Roosevelt will make
a trip down the Mississippi river
from Keokuk, Iowa, to Memphis,
Tennessee, next week. The ob-
ject of his river trip is to arouse
interest in a ship canal from the
mouth of the river to Keokuk.
From Memphis he will go to the
canebrakes of Louisiana for a
bear hunt,
The Fannin county man who
recently instituted suit to annul a
school tax election was discover
ed to be liable to a tax of less
than one dollar a year under its
operation. Some of those in Bon-
ham who have sought to obstruct
every public enterprise are in a
like position. Had Bonham done
as they wished she would have
had no waterworks, no city free
schools and no public enterprises
of any sort.—Bonham News.
To avoid paying a few dollars
taxes a man will do strange things.
Some years ago we saw a man
gesticulating vehemently, and
upon approaching nearer found
that he was bombarding the air
with cuss words because his as-
sessment had been raised one
hundred dollars by the equaliza-
tion board. He owned a small
place and his total assessment
was only $600, making his tax
$6. This same man had four
children in school at the time and
all received fairly good educa-
tions in the public school. He
was receiving about $100 worth
of tuition every year and paying
only $6 to sustain town and school.
There are many more like him
and they are to be found in every
town.
The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he’d have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing
home to the public a parallel fact; that

out of\he prhm ring as well as in it. We

A woman has been discovered
in Richmond, Ind., who claims to
know all about the murder of
Gov. Goebel, of Kentucky. She
says the killing was done by
Turner Igo, an old sweetheart of
hers, who at the time lived in
Rowan county. Kentucky. Her
story runs that Igo told her pre-
viously of his intentions and that
on the day of the assasination she
saw him come down the steps of
the state house with a gun in his
hand, and that he stopped in the
yard to change his shoes. To
these things she made affidayit
some time since in the office of
Ex-Gov. Taylor in Indianapolis.
This story may be true, but it
has a very fishy ring and few
people will believe it.
While Oklahoma’s constitution
was ratified by a large majority
at the recent election, and the
Democratic state ticket was elect-
ed by more than 30,000, the peo-
ple of the new state have not seen
the end of the contest. The Re-
publicans have been shown that
Oklahoma is a Democratic state
and they don’t want it. State-
hood means the loss of many fat
positions and all the pressure
possible will be brought to bear
upon the President to have him
withhold bis signature. The ne-
groes are arrayed against the
constitution to a man and have
already made preparations to
send a large delegation to Wash-
ington.
It is not likely that the world
will ever see another bumper cot-
ton crop—not for a good many
years at best. By a bumper crop
we mean a large acreage and a
heavy yield per acre. Conditions
have reached the peculiar stage
that sufficient rain to grow a big
crop will also bring insects of
some kind to eat it up,and weath-
er hot enough and dry enough to
kill the insects will also cook the
cotton. The best farmers are
agreed, however, that the acre-
age can be reduced one-half and
by thorough cultivation and a
able spot. ^"Golden Medicaf Disp.nvorU'
cures "weak stomach,” indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and im-
pure blood and other diseases of the or-
gans of digestion and nutrition.
The "Golden Medical Discovery ” has a
specific curative effect upon all mucous
surfaces and hence cures catarrh, no
matter where located or what stage it
may have reached. In Nasal Catarrh it
is well to cleanse the passages with Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy fluid while using
the "Discovery ” as a constitutional rem-
edy. Why the "Golden Medical Discov-
ery ” cures catarrhal diseases, as of the
stomach, bowels, bladder and other pelvic
organs will be plain to you if you will

ings of eminent medical authorities, en-
dorsing its ingredients and explaining
their curative properties. It is mailed
free on request. Address Dr. R.V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. This booklet gives all the
ingredients entering into Dr. Pierce’s

they contain not a drop of alcohol, pure,
triple-refined glycerine being used instead.

constant fight against the de-
stroyers *s much cotton can be
made as from double the acreage
cultivated according to old meth-
ods. The successful cott >n-raiser
of the future will select his seed
with care and judgment, will
grow the best varieties and culti-
vate thoroughly. The old slip-
shod way of growing cotton is
practically a thing of the past.
In this age of civilization, with
its newspapers, telephones, rural
free mail delivery, and other ad-
vantages, putting the remotest
countrymen in direct touch with
every other part of the world,
there is no place for the old jury
law, which requires the juror to
qualify that he has “neither
fo.-med nor expressed an opinion
in the case.” The law has reach-
ed the end of its usefulness. Ev-
ery farmer who has a home is
taking regularly from two or
three to a dozen periodicals, and
from this class the jury is made.
Many of the farmers have tele-
phones ands every neighbor hears
the latest news. So why not nul-
lify the law which puts the state
and county to useless expense in
summoning talesmen for a jury.
We have practical illustrations of
its futility at every term of court.
It’s an ill wind indeed that
doesn’t waft in a little good. On
account of the shortness of the
cotton crop the farmers are not
worried to death hunting pickers
and there’s no unpleasantness on
account of some fellow tolling off
the “coons” another fellow had
paid railroad fare for all the way
from Texarkana. We can nearly
always find consolation if we’ll
search for it.

crete walks here and will walk

The Real Coward.
The most cringing coward on
earth is not he who runs from a
drawn shotgun. He has no pur-
suers because he has never ex-
pressed an opinion. He meets
you every morning with a pleas-
ant “how are you?” and a hypo-
critical lie “glad you are doing so
well.” Yet, let some evil report
be circulated concerning you;
then he hasn’t the moral courage
to face your traducers and tell
them mildly that they are mis-
taken. When you meet with good
fortune, he is the first to rush up
to you with congratulations, hop-
ing thereby to ingratiate himself
into your good graces without
cost to himself; yet, let adversity
overtake you and this good Sa-
maritan crosses to the other side
of the street to keep from meet-
ing you.
Young man, don’t be deceived;
talk, when your reputation is not
attacked, is cheap indeed, and it
is always the bait that is used
for suckers. The fellow who
passes you without notice or the
ruffian who merely grunts at you
when you speak, is not very cul-
tured, but is worth a whole regi-
ment of hypocritical well-wish-
ers whs say so many good things
about you to your face, but have
not the nerve to open their mouths
when you are assailed.
The brave man is he who forms
opinions and has the grit to back
his judgments.
The coward is he who is afraid
to stand bychis own decisions.—

'Dry Weather in Arkansas.
I thought the drouth of 1886-7
was pretty dry, but it was a sec-
ond edition of Noah’s flood as
compared to some dry weather
they have had in Arkansas. I
read the other day an interview
some New York reporter had had
with Mike Thomas, the Dallas
man who recently “butted in” on
the New York Cotton Exchange
and caused a commotion by clean-
ing up . four million dollars for
pocket change. He was on the
bulhside and was getting eyery
bullish report he could rake and
scrape. After making a few mil-
lions he decided to have a little
fun while on the floor of the ex-
change and read the following
fake telegram which came from
the greatest cotton producing
section of Arkansas. The tele-
gram said: “The weather has
been so hot for the past two weeks
that teamsters have to stand their
horses in water to keep their
shoes from coming off, while
wagons are going around with
their tongues out. The catfish
kick up such a dust in Red river
that the river has to be sprinkled
before one can go fishing. A
spark from an engine set Clover
creek on fire and burned up a
wagon load of bull frogs. The
ground is so hard and dry in the
low places that crawfish holes
are being pulled up and shipped
for gas pipe.” -McGregor Mirror.
Bi£ Price for Cotton.
A Red River county farmer
sold a bale of long staple cotton
in Clarksville last Saturday for
25 cents a pound. The price paid
for the bale was $111. The own-
er also sold the seed for $2.50
per bushel, the entire proceeds of
the bale netting him $204. Yet
some people contend that it does
not pay to grow the better grades
of cotton.
Escaped Death.
It is not an uncommon occurrence
for us to get a letter describing how
the writer escaped death by using
Dr. Caldwell’s (laxative) Syrup Pep-
sin for some violent and dangerous
stomach or bowel inflammation. The
gentle, soothing, curative, purificative
action of this pleasant syrup is with-
out any equal in the science of medi-
cine. Sold by Black & Littie at 50c

When God Made Texas.
Congressman Jack Beall, of
the Dallas district, is a word-
painter and an orator, as well as
a deep-dyed Texan. In a recent
speech he told his he'arers how
God made Texas, and this is how
it was done. “God must have
made th© balance of the world
first and then made Texas. He
looked over all that had come
from His hand and gathered to-
gether the best of every clime—of
sunshine and air and mountain
and soil, of forest and ore, and
shaping and moulding it with His
omnipotent hand, He planted it
down where the waters of the
Gulf laved its shores and the
breezes of the Gulf fanned its
prairies, and then He tolled the
fairest angels down from Heaven
to be the helpmeets of Texas men
and looking down upon His work
and beholding it good, He cried
out in a very ecstacy of joy, £I
christen thee ‘Texas.’ ”

Building Quarter of a Mile Hi$h.
A 150-story structure is pro-
jected in New York and the plans
are being made for it. This may
sound as madness,
where . we know so
there is only one way
York can grow—and
in the air—there
way devised to
but here
well that
that New
that is up
must be, some
build higher
buildings than we already have.
This building won’t be erected at
once; but is being figured out by
engineers to see if it is practical.
If found so to be, you may be
sure it will be put up. I was
told by an expert builder yester-
day that there is nothing in the
way of building structures as high
as desired. For it is all a matter
cf foundation building, and that
has its mathematical methods
which insure safety. But mak-
ing a foundation for a building a
quarter of a mile high is certain-
ly something new by way of un-
dertaking. However, it is worth
remembering that such lofty
structures as the Flat Iron Build-
ing occasion no interest among
New Yorkers any more. That is
nothing out of the ordinary now,
for it is being beaten in height,
and that sets it back with the old
numbers.—New York News Let-
