They Looked Suspicious.

Yesterday afternoon two suspicious
looking individuals obtained per-
mission to sharpen some tools, in a
West Commerce street blacksmith
shop across the creek, and they
ground away. The police were noti-
fed Of the men, just as the two men
had finished their work, and hurried
ly moved down the street. Just then
officers Sanchez and Diaz appeared on
the scene and arrested both, but, as ii
ny magic the heavy steel bits and
braces disappeared. The men could
not give very straight story, and
oney We're locked up as suspicious
characters, giving their names as Jim

fined them SIS piece.

LONG STOPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The ticket dragged Callaghan
through.
Capt. Schramm is the mayor of the
east side Of the city.
The taxpayers and the east side of
the river voted the king down.
When the boss, going east, crosses
Commerce street bridge, he enters
Mayor Schramm's district.
The best halt of our city went
against Callsghan.. The other hall
will do likewise.
Wonder what Callaghan thinks
now of the noble seventh, after the
rebuke it gave him and his gang.
The people have thrown away their
last dollar on Callaghan. He can
now cross the San Pedro for appropri-
atoms.
The one-vote alderman can now
sympathizs with the boss. They are
both in tue minority.
Callaghan has q lonely look in
Mayor Schramm's part of town. The
east side scourged him back.
Every one on the body of the ticket,
except an Obscurity, led Callaghan
from forty-five to eight hundred ma
jority. This is black eye that ex-
tends all over his face.
The advantage of voting for oneself
is shown in the Fifth ward contest.
Boelhauwe is q brick.
The boss found no indicators on
the east side. There, blankets don't
go.
The mayor of town should repre-
sent all and not part OF it. Mayor
Schramm divides honors with the
unvindicated.
The east siders showed their colors,
and they were not yellow either.

As to rheumatism.

London Daily News.
The "two greatest scourges of man.
kind" according TO DR.. Lander Brun-
ton, are generally supposed to be
phthisis and rheumatism; but we are
told by this eminent authority that If
any physician were asked which is
the worst OF the two he would proba-
bly, decide for rheumatism. 1t not
only leads to as many deaths as
phthisis directly or indirectly, but
causes a vast amount of loss of time
and power, and immense pain. The
rheumatic tendency shows itself in n
great many other disorders, such as
indigestion and headaches. 1t pro-
duces, not merely pains In the joints,
but inflammation of the Serious MEM
braue, and leads to the formation of
"clots" or fibrous masses in the heart,
which, becoming detached, are liable
to be carried to the brain and cause
paralysis.
At the recent meeting of the phar-
maceutical society, DIR. Brunton
stated that the old fear of causing
serious damage to patients whose
hearts are weak by abruptly checking
the pain is now much diminished.
This is owing to the discovery that
the well-kDown remedy, salicylIc
acid, may be freely employed with
out risk, provided it is absolutely
pure.

FOR MEN ONLY.

At Rische's Theatre Sunday Night.
DR.. J. Chas. Harrison, a noted
speaker, specialist and traveller, will
deliver a free Medico-Stereoptican
lecture to men only at Risches Theatre
next Sunday night.
DIR. Harrison is going TO deliver but
two lectures in this city and both will
treat on medical matters ofimportance
to all men. The Galveston News in
speaking of Harrison's lecture says:
"Dr. Harrison delivered an illusta-
ted lecture on "Life's Errors" to a
crowded house on Sunday night. The
lecture was for men only and dealt
chiefly with the temptations of youth
DIR. Harrison is q fluent, graceful
speaker of intellectual and pleasing
presence and kept his hearers
Thoroughly interested.for the two hours
the lecture lasted. Last night DR..
Harrison delivered his second lecture
entitled "Specific Diseases, Causes
and Cures" to good sized audience,
The views presented at the lecture
were chiefly of an anatomical charac'
ter and were very striking to say the
least. DR.. Harrison explained very
clearly the many views shown and
threw out many very useful hints
regarding the care of the human body
He said that morality and good health
were SO closely allied as to be almost
synonymous. Taken altogether tht
lectures were excellent and should b'
productive of much good.
