East Avenue Bridge.

The question of additional bridge facil-
tiles is again being agitated, especially by
persons living in the eastern and south
eastern part of the county. Some of them
suggest the propriety of placing bridge
across the river at the foot of East Avenue,
and they are very emphatic about its
importance and about its being put under
way as early as possible. They contend
that an iron bridge can be put up there
for from 100000 to $4,000, and they
think the financial standing of the county
will warrant its early construction.

Astronomer.

The able astronomical editor returns his
thanks for the almanac, and is happy to
find that you discovered several months
with two full moons; but the able CORE
spondent is still of the opinion that you
will have to sit up of nights for the short
space of 100000 years before you see
two full moons in January and two in the
following March, with none in February.
By the way, do you know why the man in
the moon goes south?

Wonderful Cures.

Morley Bros, wholesale and retail drug
gists, of Austin, Tex, say: We have been
selling DR.. Kings New Discovery, Electric
Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica Salve for
four years. Have never handled remedies
that sell as well, or give such universal
satisfaction. There have been some
wonderful cures effected by these medi-
cines in this city. Several cases of pro-
nounced consumption have been entirely
cured by the use of few bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery, taken in connection
with Electric Bitters. We guarantee them
always. Sold by Morley Bros.

THE SPRINGFIELD OUTRAGE.
Doctor Cox Denies Pouring Carbolic
Acid on "Effie Ellis"

Acid on "Effie Ellis"
ST. Lcrus, March 16.-The diabolical
action of DR.. George M. Cox, of Spring
field, Mo-, in pouring acid on Effie Ellis,
still continues to be the subject of com
ment, and, owing to grossly exaggerated
reports sent abroad, the woman has come
in for good deal of sympathy, and the
doctor hi.s been vigorously cried down.
The facts of the matter are, however, that
the woman ls but slightly injured, and
will not be much dis6gured or lose the
sight of either eye, though she may quit
fooling with frepzied physician, and
father. The acid used was carbolic and
caused good deal of smarting and weak
ness in the eyes but did no actual burning.
The doctor intimates now that it was not
he that was in the carriage, and fatty
denies the assertion that he lured the girl
to Springfield. On the other hand he
says she came of her own volition, and he
writes pathetic letter calling on man
kind to protect their homes from the in
vasion of such desperate characters. 1t is
apparent that he was driven to despera-
ton, and it is likewise ascertained that
Belle O'Dowd, alias Effie Ellis, is brazen
creature and was after money early and
often.
Doctor Banduy, high authority in
nervous and mental disorders, and who
has been Doctor Cox's medical adviser fol
year, states in card that, in his opin
ion, Doctor Cox was worked into a state
of mental frenzy that caused him to be 9

NEURALGIA.

Nerves.-Were it possible to observe the
misery of the world in some concrete
form, nothing ever conceived would
surpass its horrors. Every one of the
thread-like nerves have each a latent
power to cause eXCruciating pain, the
limit of which is simply the limit OF
human endurance. Think of the tooth
ache, with single little nerve at work
to drive one crazy; think of NEURALGIA,
with few OF these tibrous torments
all pulsing painfully at once, and then
reflect that at the same moment thou
sands, tens OF thousands, perhaps mil
lions, are suffering alike.
CHARACTERISTICS.
Subtitle Pain.-Neuralcic affections are
perhaps the most pronounced i'll the
enormous list of aches and pains. Moth
ing is so subtle in its approach; nothing
so fragrant, acute and distressing, and
certainly nothing, all the world admits,
yet discovered, so completely subdues
its ravages and so permanently con-
quers its pangs us that above mentioned.
SYMPTOMS.
Symptoms.-Neuralgia is defined to be
nerve disease, the chief symptom of
which is a very acute pain, intermtting,
which follows the course of the nerve
branch affected, and which seems there
fore 10 be seated in the nerve. The
general symptoms are; Soreness along
the nerve; pains alternating between
an ache and acute pain. Arising from
disordered stomach, it is often at
tended by vomiting.
TREATMENT.
Ireatment.-Apply ST. JACOBS OIL
frequently, gently rubbing the afflicted
parts; apply to the whole extent of the
nerve soreness; keep up gentle friction
until burning sensation is produced.
Avoid sudden change of temperature.

PUSH NORTHWESTWARD.

San Antonio does not seem 10 realize
TO the full just how much is depending
upon her speedy subscription of that
100000 in real estate to the proposed
Panhandle extentiOn. Nothing is being
done along the line nOrthwestward. us
those VINO have the matter under ad-
visemeDt there have determined to wait
San ADtonio's action in the matter.
The terms of that 100000 bonus are
we'll understood in this city and the
work of securing it should be pushed
vigorously. 1t Is not a subscription in
cash but in lands. 1t is not payable
now but only when the cars are running
to Odessa. The pushing OF this line two
would do very much towards solving
one part OF the wool problem over a
great section of country. 1t would open
trade 10 this city that would pay the
cost Of the bonus in one year. 1t would
be the beginning of trade reaching
into the extreme counties Of the Pam
handle region and which would compel
all north and east Texas TO look well to
her laurels If they would not lose them
In the comptitious OF the Alamo city.
1t would stimulate the movement
towards deep water as nothing else
would and make the opening
Of Arkansas Pass necessity. 1t would
cause a demand for deep water port In
the western end of the gulf that could
not pass unheeded, and the voice raised
for its construction would be heard po-
tenttslly in the halls of the state and the
national legislatures. That road towards
Odessa should be built at once. The
sooner will the tide Of business and i'm
migration set this way, but the sooner
will the great northwest lying beyond
the borders of Texas find itself facing
San Antonioward for an outlet at the
gulf. The gentlemen to whom were en-
trusted the work OF pushing this sub
scription for 500, 600 worth OF land as Il
bonus to that northwestern extension,
the deeds to be passed when the road is
completed, should bestir themselves and
secure that subscription rs soon as the
work can possibly be performed. By de-
lay, present advantages, the advantages
of present trade, will be lost and posi-
bly, the advantage of the connection it.
self. Other sections lying to the west of
this city are moving to secure cross
line to the gulf at Corpus Christi, and
If such q road should be built to the
coast some fifty miles to the westward
Of this city, it would very seriously
cripple the business of all our mer-
chants, depreciate the price ofreal prop
erty and damage this city millions of
dollars. San Antonio cannot afford to let
this projected road slip through her fin
gers for psltry SlOOUCo. By losing 1t
she loses the opportunity of half-oen-
fury.
