Home Industry Discussed.

Editor SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
just for beans / would like to say
few words on the beer war that is at
present waging In San Antonio. | would
suggest diplomacy, but in this case do
not think the desired end could be
reached by such proceedings; therefore
We will just glance at the two brewer
les as they stand, the Phil. Best at Mil
waukee, Wis, and the Lone Star at San
San Antonio, Texas.
Prior TO the establishment Of city
breweries, beer shipped here was worth
ia barrel, or $3.50 aquarter key. This
price itself was a reduction on former
prices. Immediately after the estab-
lishment Of our home breweriss, the for
eign beer was delivered at one dollar
less than the price charged prior to the
establishment of home industry. We are
Very good; now the question arises, did
the foreign breweries impose upon our
people when they charged $3.50 prior to
home Industry and now can afford to
sond the same beer Tor even better, as is
claimed, at one dollar less than they
charged before, or Is II the object to es-
tablish power over breweries and then
return to the old chargesP
NOW, what is home Industry doing to
claim the right OF our support. Is 1t not
fact that they are sending beer out OF
the city, paying freight on same and de-
livering II at the same price charged
herep They do, and upon what prinoi-
pie is 1t done.
In conclusion we will say that since
our breweries are established here we
should, five can cOnscientiously do SO,
support them. CHERRY BOB.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Ill. L

The Atlantic Seaboard Terribly Shaken
Charleston, s. c., Partially Destroyed.
The earthquake which ST. Louis and
was so plainly felt all through the Ohio
valley was most severe on the Carolina
seabOard. Particulars are impossible to
be secured, as everything is In confusion
and the people OF Charleston are all bud-
died together upon the streets. Meager
reports received via New York indicate
that no incOnsiderable portion oft city
was so shaken that the people fearing
for their lives rushed out upon the streets
and remained in the more open spaces
where there was less fear of falling walls.
A number of lives are reported lost, one
account placing 1t as high as $50, but
down to the time of going to press no
reliable information was obtainable.
That a great calamity has befallen the
city and that the seaboard Of the middle
states has received violent shock is
about all that is now positively known.
Ii is hoped that the later dispatches will
show the damage to life and property
greatly exaggerated.

A Tried Remedy for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction
of the liver, will never get the upper hand of
the unruly organ so long as they use such
podophyllin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hosttetters Stomach Bitters, they
may expect relief with a certainty of obtain
ing IL. The influence of the Bitters upon the
great hillary gland is direct, powerful and
speedily felt. The relief afforded is not spas
modic, but complete and permanent. The
sallowness of the skin, furred appearance of
the tongue, indigestion, costiveness, head
ache, nausea, pains through the right side
and shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of
the obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by a course OF this inestim-
able medicine in behalf OF which testimony is
constantly emanating from every quarter and
from all classes of society. S-26-lw

We desire to caution our readers against
buying "Cure-Alls' remedies, ,purporting to
cure "all the ills which flesh is heir TO, and
to purchase only such remedies as are reliable
specifics for certain classes OF disease. For
instance, what man, endowed with reason
would think of buying a cough medicine to
cure syphilis2 Yet there are hundreds of
"nostrums" thrust upon us daily with such
claims. The manufacturers of Acker's Blood
Elixir do not claim that IL will cure every
thing, but positively guarantee IL TO cure all
diseases of the blood, such as syphilis, scrofu-
la, etc. The well-known and reliable firm of
Ragland & Co., No. East Commerce street,
San Antonio, Tex, are agents for the remedy.

The Democratic Senatorial Convention

as large segment Of the delegates was
absent the convention adjourned over till
10o'clock: tomorrow 1t is reported that
the missing delegates become exceeding
ly thirsty and left the train at q wayside
station. to lay in a supply Of "wet gro
ceries," but the train pulled out before
they could quench their thirst, and they
are looked for to-night. Col. III. b. An
drews and Mr.. Burney are the only
known nags for the senatorial purse now
in the field, but Oscar Bergstrom's
friends are pushing him forward with
wonderful energy. A. w. Houston was
circulating freely with the delegates
about the court house. One or two men
think that, If a dead lock should occur In
the convention, lightning might, posi-
bly, strike W. l.. Thompson, whose luck
in such matters, is proverbial. Berg
strOm lays over him as "dark horse"

Why Was It2

Mr.. Toudonze manufactures bricks
few miles from the city. The sand used
in their manufacturer Is so fine that In
burning brick glass runs from 1t. AS
result brick is made as strong, durable,
and cheap as any In the market. Yet in
selecting bricks for the new opera-house
the San Antonio brick was ignored, and
the Eagle Pass brick was selected,
which, according to competent judges,
Is much inferior to the local brick.
