of Aid.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 2G-Direct
and reliable news from Durango con-
firms the reports that there is acute
suffering among the lower classes not
only of Durango but portions of the
adjoining states.
Some reports have been exaggerated,
but it would be criminal to minimize
the need of aid. True, the government
has remit ed the import and the inter
state duty on corn, but this affects the
privation inconsiderably.
The building of the international &
Great Northern toward Durango fur
nishes employment &c hundreds at 81
cents day, and this affords relief to
many who would otherwise be helpless.
In the Laguna district, notably at San
Pedro de Colonia, in Neoapuilla, there
is much distress and many of the bust
ness houses have closed down for lack
of patronage.

We believe August Flower cures
