IKE Worst Nasal Catarrh,
Acadia Sentinel: A new town

Acadia Sentinel: A new town
named Cleveland. in honor Of the
president, on the railroad six miles
west Of Welsh, has been surveyed
and many town lots have found pur'
chasers and business houses and
residences already contracted for.
It must be said 10 the credit Of the
founders of the embryo city that
the very first thing done was a do
nation of suitable grounds and ar
rangements made for a handsome
school building. The surrounding
country is we'll developed and has a
considerable population of thrifty
immigrants from the west. .

The Dallas l. New orleans rail.
road has been chartered to run
from New Orleans to Fort Worth,
where it makes connection with
the Fort Worth & Denver, thus
giving an air line from New Or
leans to Denver. The road when
built, must psss somewhere in the
neighborhood of Abbeville, and our
parish may have its benefits, al.
though our people have hardly
enough of animation to take full
benefit of the enterprise.

The disposition on the part OF our
Orleans papers to discuss and
encourage the building Of a grand
hotel is something that gives US
much pleasure. Our great seaport
needs q hotel on the grandest scale,
and We urge upon our brothers OF
the press to give the matter no rest
until that most desirable object is
attained. =.

Fatal Neglect.


The breaking of the smallest wheel

Were people as Thoughtful to repair

proach of disease, the owner is to mend
his machinery, they would escape IN
describable suffering, and often death.
Slight causes will sometimes derange
the digestive organs, on whose healthy
action the health OF the whole system
so much depends, and feverish blood,
headaches, and consumption itself, set
in. The wise p~ersonswill at once arrest

Trouble on the Canadian Border.

SHERBRooK, VI, Sept 26.-Information
to-day via North Stratford, N. H., is to the
effect that the Italian natives now as
sembled at Pauquetteville on the border
between Canada and the United States
yesterday chased off the track laying gang
working on the Canada side and the latter
were obliged to take refuge on the Amer
ican side. So far they have not crossed
into the United States but threaten to do
so. They have also threatened to kill Cen
eral Manager Sweet should he cross over
into Canada. The volunteers, who are
scattered over large portion OF the sur
rounding country, cannot certainly be
brought together before tonight, orders
having been issued to most of them only
or no ammunition among them. Several
cases of ammunition, however, are on the
way from Montreal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25-The political
war raging among the police officers of
this city which was engendered by the dis
turbance before the New Denison hotel
Saturday night when an attempt was made
to arrest Chicago drummer who was yell
ing for Harrison, received additional i'm
petus to-day. Captain Colbert, (dem.) this
afternoon filed formal charges against Ser
geant Dawson (rep.) alleging insubordina-
ton. He also charges Captain Campbell
(rep.), who was not on duty at the time,
with encouraging Dawson in his disor-
derly conduct. The accused officers will
have hearing next Monday before the
full board of police commissioners. Nearly
100 witnesses have volunteered to appear
before the board on behalf of Sergeant
Dawson and the trial bids fare to increase
the growing partisanship OF the citizens as
we'll as the members of the police force.

The Texas Border Trouble.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 25.-All yesterday
and to-day the most alarming telegrams
continued to pour in ON Governor Ross in
forming him that there is war, bloody and
fierce, now raging on the Texas frontier
and that Rio :Grande City for the past
twenty-four hours has been in the possess
sion Of an armed Mexican mob. This ex.
traordinarly and sensational state of affairs
had its origin in the fatal encounter which
took place in Rio Grande City last Satur-
day between Cotrino E. Cara, editor of
El Commercio Mexicano: and United
States Revenue Officer Victor Seebree.
Governor Ross has ordered the entire
ranger force of Texas to proceed with all
possible haste to the scene of the battle, as
the massacre of Texas citizens is feared.
3 The MeXicans number ten to one of the
white citizens in that section,
TROOPS ORDERED OUT.

A Terrible Fall

OTTAWA, Sept. ga balloon ascension
and parachute drop were advertised at the
exhibition grounds to-day. Among the
volunteers to hold the balloon down was
Tom Winsley, who with Others grasped a
stout rope running around the base of the
balloon. When the order to let go was
given all released their hold with the ex-
ception of Winsley, who retained his hold
and was swiftly born upward. The aero
naut was unable to help him, and when
1000 feet high Winsley finally let 60 with
one hand but clung to the rope with the
other. That was at last released and down
ne came like rocket, executing series
OF mid-air somersaults. He struck in a
field 100 feet from the grounds and was
terribly crushed. The balloon few min
utes later collapsed and the aeronaut de-
scended safely with his parachute.
