The proposed transfer of the headquarters Of

stationed here FOR over seven years, having
taken the place of the second. which was sent

THE EYES OF CRIMINALS.

Eyes are the most certain revealers
of the criminal nature, says Donahue's
Magazine, Many an expert detective
tells criminal by just one glance
not at him, but from him. The GRIM
inal eye varies greatly in setting, but
not so much in color. Sometimes it
is deeply placed in the head, as if it
tried to hide, fearing the result of its
own involuntary revelation Some
times it is bulgy, protrusive like a
frogs and heavily lidded.
OF the criminal eye there are many
remarkable anecdotes. The murderer
Francesconi had little about him to
indicate the feroclty that ambushed
his breast. His forehead was high
and smooth, his beard plentiful. To
most people he rendered himself rath-
er companionable, by certain deep
facetiousness that often masquerades
as wit, and on account Of this social
quality Francesconi's conceit was toll
Grated, and his huge egotism did not
have its full chance to repel people.
But years before his crime, a young
girl-afterwards the Countess della
Rocca--who had never left home
and who lacked experience OF
life, recoiled from hlm vio-
lently when introduced, and refused
to endure his presence. When ques-
toned why she behaved thus toward
one who stood SO high socially, she
answered.: wf that man has not al
ready murdered people,h will do So"
The girlish prophecy very soon came
true, and when Lombroso inquired by
what sign she had foretold, she re-
Piled "The eyes--I saw it in his
eyes"
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-10-27
DENOUNCED THE SENATE.

The st. Louis cotton exchange on
yesterday adopted series of resolu-
tions denouncing the Senate Of the
United States as continuing to
"throttle and depress all branches of
commerce and to diminish the value
of all the agricultural products, there
by bringing the people and govern
ment to the verge of bankruptcy by
the failure to act upon the silver ques-
tion.' A demand is made for an i'm
mediate vote.
At the same time, while it was
known absolutely that unconditional
repeal" would pass the Senate IN few
days, and stocks and bonds were ad-
vancing In price, in consequence, yet
cotton steadily declined. This shows
conclusively that all the pratiug OF
spectators and plutocrats, as to )" un-
conditional repeal" helping the farmer
to be false.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-10-27
Something Unusual,

as medicine, is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. And, because Of
that, there's something unusual in the
way of selling it, Where every other
medicine OF its kind only promises,
this is guaranteed. If it ever fails to
benefit or cure, you have your money
back.
It's the only remedy for every dis
ease caused by a disordered liver or
impure blood. Dyspepsia, Bilious
ness, the most stubborn Skin, Scalp
and Scrofulous affections, even Con-
sumption Tor Lung-scrofula) in its
earlier stages, are all cured by it,
It purifes and enriches the blood
rouses every organ into heolthful
action, and restores strength and yig-
or. In building up both flesh and
strength Of pale, puny, Scrolulous
children, or to invigorate and brace
up the system after "Grlppe,D pneu-
monia, fevers, sud other prostrating
acute diseases, nothing can equal the
Discovery"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation,
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

Co. only, whose name is printed en- eyeiy

refused to discuss the case any longer
and would neither listen to evidence
or reason. The Court sdmonished
the jury that the jury's duty was
to discuss the subject and do
each what he thought was his
duty.
The Court again asked each juror
what he thought was the probability
of a verdict being reached, and each
answered that he thought they would
never agree.
just before retiring one juror re-
marked that verdict might be
reached, but "they refuse to come
over on account of their con-
science"
The jury again were admonished to
retire and discuss the case.
At $50 the jury was again sent for
by Judge Lea, who had decided to
discharge the jury if no prospect of an
agreement was still evident.
When the jury had taken their
places in front Of the railing, one of
the jurors remarked that they had
been discussing the case, and he
thought a verdict might be reached.
The court ordered them to return
and report any verdict that might be
reached by 9 p. m, and he would
come down and receive il, if not, the
jury should be kept together till this
morning at $50, and then report to
the court.

DEEP WATER.
Sabine Pass Jubilates over It--Tex-
arkana Interested.

Tuesday was a gala day at Sabine
Pass, Tex, when she celebrated in
honor of securing deep water. Sever
al thousand people went out in boats
to look at the new jetties, which had
accomplished the desired result.
Texarkana is interested in this deep
water port, as it lies almost due south
of us, and it is expected that our new
railroad now building, (the X. c., p.
& G) will, in few years, connect us
direct Herewith, which will give MS
very low freight rates with all the
outside world.
There has been expended up to Oc-
tober about a million and halt of
dollars on harbor improvements at
Sabine Pass. The last appropriation
was $35O,OOO, of which $105, ,728is still
available; $33,S92 has been expended
in dredging and they expect to spend
$14108 more for the same purpose.
The total length of the east jetty is
17,100 feet, of which 16,700 feet are
completed. The total length of the
west jetty is 1880 feet, of which
1000 feet have been completed. The
west jetty has been extended $500
feet since July /, 1892
A channel 100 feet wide and II feet
deep is being cut across the bar. The
contract is for 16 feet, but the extra
foot is cut to allow for the fill, which,
it is thought, will not be quite a foot:
The following are some Of the opin-
ions expressed by representative citi-
zens of Texas:
DR.. r. +. Calhoun-Deep water is
an assured fact. We have got it with
out any hearsay. If anybody does
not believe let them send an 18-foot
man and let him wade across. The
excursion was grand success.
Capt. O'Brein; "The consummation
devoutly wished for for nearly 20 feet
of water on the Sabine Pass bar is
achieved. think it is practicable to
obtain depth, when the work is
prosecuted, Of % feet"
Col. d. Crary: 81 think we have
deep water here. Some papers said
when we got it we would not know
what to do with it, | think those
mostly interested well know what to
do with it. 1t is here aud we are con-
fident it will be used"
G.. W. Carrom: "Lumbermen have
got what they want that is, deep
