The Liver

when out of order, involves every organ of

comfort IN any part of the system. Mercury,

For LeYee Repairs.

HELENA Ark, September l5.-Pur-
suant to call almost all the land own
ers, either in person or by proxy, in
the cotton levee belt district No. !,
met at the city hall here Saturday for
the purpose of levying tax on them
selves for the purpose ofrepairing and
constructing additional levees, and to
protect the part of the country that is
subject to inundation from the river.
Out of 100 votes there were only fif-
tsen that opposed the tax. A tax of
five per cent. on the value of the land
when improved by the levees was as
sessed, making the tax to be collected
something over S3l, 900. This amount,
in connection with what will be re-
ceived from the river commission,
will be used in repairing the eighteen
miles of levee now constructed, and
the extension of the present levee to
Yellow Banks, six miles distant.
A bout one-third of the richest land in
the county will be protected by these

TWO IRATE WOMEN.
More Than a Match For the County
Court and Judge.

County Judge Wurzbach had all he
could do this morning at one time in the
county court, and things were lively. He
was very busy for few moments, trying
to keep two women from going for" one
man, and a crowd of spectators was there
by drawn into court by the loud noise.
A habeas corpus case, over the posses
sion of a SiX-year-Old child had begun at
10 o'clock. and the parties, Mrs. Pickard
and her husband, and Mrs. Pickard'S best
friend, Mrs. MCGEE, were the actors.
Pickard'S child, when baby, was sent
to France to his father, and last spring
Mrs. PckaTd took a trip to EurOpe,a and
he brought suit for divorce. When
she returned, he heard she had
brought back the child and tried to see
it. but she refused, and he then brought
habeaS corpus suit.
The Judge ordered that he could visit
the child and see it when HI wanted to,
and at this the fuss began, the ladies de-
claring that he should not. He finally
asked the judge to withdraw this order,
as he was afraid to go around their prem
Uses. and the case was finally, if not sat
SfactOrily settled for the time being, by
the Judge pOStpOning further warlike ac-
tivity until next Thursday afternoon at
o'clock,
He thinks he will charge an admission
fee to the court room for spectators.

Editor LIGHT:
VIII the LIGHT allow the space in its
columns for a republican to ask the re-
publican executive committee of BeXar
county what action it proposes to take in
the matter of party organization in this
county.
There are forty-eight precinct chair
men TO be appointed and a thorough or
ganzatiOn to be had.
The committee has deemed 1t eXpedient
not TO call convention lat the present
time" and unless there is decided move on
the part of the committee there will arise
the belief that no convention is to be held.
This, of course, is without foundation for
no one has right TO say that this COM
mittee will arrOgate to itself to speak for
the party on any important question. |
for one do not believe those gentlemen
wish to uSurp power belonging only to a
party in convention assembled. 1t is en-
tirely in order for the committee to arise
and explain and that in unmiStakable
language. n REPUBLICAN.

The Contractor Explains.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, September 16, 1sI

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, September Is, 1890.
EDITOR LIGHT: Dear Sir-Replying to
the article in your issue of Saturday,
which seems to reflect upon my ability as
a contractor, have merely TO say. that |
or no one else could possibly have pre-
vented the wall falling down, and | don't
think | should be held accountable for
freak of nature" The foundations of
the wall, four feet above and four feet be-
low the water. still remain, and if the
wall had been otherwise than properly
built, nothing would have resulted but
small "hOlc in the wall" AS 1t is, the
wall for a number of feet was thrown in
the river and for some distance was
twisted out of shape. 1t Is go feet long
aud the combined and twisted portion
amounts to but between 20 aud so feet,
thus leaving about $50 feet still intact.
The people in the immediate vicinity
say that a very heavy stream of water
three or four feet in depth came
from behind and forced itself
against the foundation and the
the wall with probably the force of 800
caused by the overflow from the streets in
the vicinity that had recently been
plOwed up preparatory to being graded as
well as from the incomplete condition OF
the grading, probably caused by the over
flow.
ANYONE who sees fit can look at my con-
tract and they will see that. in the matter
of its entire construction, that | have
faithfully and honestly carried out my
part of the contract that | entered into
| have no fault to find with any one, eX
ceptng the warning elements of nature"
and can only repeat that if the wall had
been poorly builtthC re wOul d not have been
aught else but a hole. but it has been pro-
ven the wall is twisted but the foundations
are intact. which certainly goes without
saying, to prove that the wall very sue
ceSsfully withstOOd severe flood from
totally unexpected quarter, and stood it
as well as any one could possibly expect.
So ask all taxpayers TO examine 1t and
then reflect before condemning. Yours
truly, JAKE q MARSHALL.

A Disgraceful Affair.

ZANZIBAR, September 16.-The Ger
man authorities at Bagamoyo have
published a notice permitting every
body to engage freely in the slave
traffic and only prohibiting the ex-
portation of slaves by sea. The Arab
slave dealers are also authorized to
recover runaways. The Arabs are
overjoyed at the license thus afforded
them, and they are openly buying
slaves at street auctions. In conse-
quence of this action of the German
officials an influx OF Arab slave
dealers is expected.

OTTAWA, Ont, September 16.-
There is now little doubt that the Do
minion government will call the gen.
eral elections at an early day, and an
appeal may be at once made to the
country on the question of trade rela-
tions with the United States. The
fact that the reciprocity movement
has been killed at Washington for
the present will probably prove a
strong card in the hands Of the Do
minion government, who can now
Justify their opposition 10 1t in parlia
ment on the ground that the United
States would not give it. The neces-
sity of an immediate appeal to the
electors is made apparent from the
fact that next year congress might
accept Sherman's reciprocity resolu-
tions, and Sir John Mcdonald could
not then tell the electors that the
United States were opposed to it.

The LIGHT deeply regrets the action
taken by the Republican Executive COM
mittee of this county at its meeting on
last Saturday night, and is of the opinion
that the committee exceeded its authority
when it decided not TO call a meeting of
the several primaries and hold regular
delegate convention. IL is the opinion of
the LIGHT that it was the province of the
committee TO call convention and leave
the arrangement of county politics in
their hands. and not TO act for the county
as they have. The LIGHT is by no means
alone in this view of the case, and would
the committee. Henry Terrell, if he
would inform the republicans of the city,

siderationS of party good the decision was

poses to do i'm connection with the Organi
zatiOn of the county?
