the man IS actions is said to have been

What Alderman Ward and City Attorney War.
rem Have to Say.
Alderman Ward and City Attorney
Warren returned yesterday from Austin
where they have spent several days en-
gagged in the work of pushing the special
charter. Alderman Ward says that Sena-
tor Jarvis has introduced bill for its pas
sage in the senate, and that he
believes it viii pass the senate to-day
and will not meet with serious opposition
in the house.
City attorney Warren said last night
that Senator Jarvis had told them there
would be no farther necessity for them
to stay in Austin and that he had little
doubt of the passage of the charter
without great amendment. Representa-
tive Parker said the same thing in regard
to the house. There was more opposition
to the appointment of the city attorney
by the council than to the increase in
Mayor Broiles salary. Senator Jarvis
looked upon the sections in regard to
taxation as the most in portant feature of
the new charter. 1t is probable that the
new charter will become the organic law
of Fort Worth at an early day.

Opposed to the silent type is the young
American lady who is the victim of the

Her companions leave her society feeling

Her enemies, especially the vulgar
ones-and all enemies are vulgar-say
that she can sstalk the hind legs off a

view can bel When her friends hear
what her enemies have said, they politely
wonder if she has talked off their hind
legs. But why repeat these spiteful re-
ordinations? This young lady is fond of
retiring with her victim into secluded cor

history of her abnormally gifted family
for several generations back. She never
loves a dear gazelle, to glad her with his
bright, soft eye, that she does not Impart
to him anecdotes culled from the family
history. There are episodes Of her
own childhood which also must be told,
and TO which the family proves was
merely mild prologue. Naturally these
"reminiscences of promising past spur
her companion to emulation. He re-
calls remarkable evidences of genius

thus entailed upon railroads themselves

Unconsciously the country has come to
accept Wall street as its business barom-
eter, so that. as values have increased or
diminished there, they have affected all
commercial interests. BY reason of mis-
management, and i'll some cases because
of dishonesty, stocks and bonds have de-
clined in value. Dividends have not
been paid or there has been default in in
terest until this unnatural fluctuation in
prices in Wall street has caused
suffering to the farmer by reason
of low prices for his products;
to the laborer, by the reduction of his
wages; and to the manufacturer and
business man by the introduction of
specu alive methods and because of in
creased expenses thus made necessary.
This tluctuation has made business in

be asserted without fear Of contradiction ),

results.

Terrible Misfortune.

1t is a calamity OF the direst kind to feel that
ones physical energies are failing in the prime
of life-to feel more neTveless, more dispirited,
weaker every day. Yet this is the unhappy lot
OF hundreds who surround US. A source of re-
newed strength which science approves, in be-
half of which multitudes OF the debiIitated have
and are every day testifying, and which, in
countless instances, has built up constitutions
sapped by weakness and infirmity, and long IN
benefited by other means, surely commends itself
to all who need tonic. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is such medicine-pure, botanic ,sooth-
fertilizer of the blood. Dyspepsia and nervous
ness-the first a cause, the second q consequences
of lack of stamina-depart when a course of the
Bitters is tried. Al forms OF maiariaI disease
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, con-
stipation and biiousness are annihilzted by this
standard family medicine.
