rather than the movements Of
human beings. Their dexterity in

surpasses belief. The wild abandon

That Terrible Scourge,

Fever and ague, and its congener,
bilious remittent, besides affections of
the stomach, liver and bowels, pro-
duced by miasmatic air and water, are
both eradicated and prevented by the
use Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
purely vegetable elixer, indorsed by
physicians, and more extensively used
as remedy fer the above class of dis
orders, as well as for many others,
than any medicine of the age. A Ian
guild circulation, a torpid state of the
liver, a want of vital stamina, are con-
ditions peculiarly favorable to malarial
diseases. They are, however, surely
remedied by the great preventive,
which, by invigorating the system and
endowing it with regularity as well as
vigor, provides it with a resisting
power, which enables 1t to Withstand
disorders, not only of malarial type,
but host of others to which feeble
and i'll regulated systems are subject.
The bitters are safe as well as
searching eradicant, and have widely
superseded that dangerous drug, qui-
nine, which palliates but does not
eradicate malaria.

NATIONAL HEALTH BOARD.

One of the first matters of impor-
tance to the great masses of American
people which will be presented to the
next Congress for solution and settle
ment Is that of national health COM
mission. Indeed it is said that bill
has already been framed, providing
for national board of health, for pre-
sentation to the next Congress. The
board provided for in this bill is to
have its headquarters in Washington
city and is to cooperate with state
and municipal authorities IN the mat
ter of sanitary improvement. The
board is to be presided over by a ply
sician, whose tenure shall only be
terminated by death, misdemeanor or
inefiiciency, with an executive COM
mittee chosen by the President of the
United States from state and terrific
rial representatives, and in addition
to have as members the surgeons gen.
eral of the army, navy and marine hos
pital service. The body Of the nation
al board will consist of representa-
tive Of the medical profession from
each state and territory, appointed by
the President on account of his special
fitness for the duties of his Office, and
for term not less than six years.
This national board will meet in the
city of Washington not oftener than
once in two years, unless specially con-
vened in some great emergency. The
boldest feature Of the proposition, and
one likely to result in a serious con-
troversy, is that which bestows upon
the board legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive powers of an independent
character.

THE TExARKANA FAIR.

We have repeatedly urged upon our
people the advisability and even ne
cessity of keeping alive our local Fair
Association, pointing out to them the
irreparable injury which must result
to the city from even a temporary
lapse of so important public enter
prise. That the Directors of the Fair
Association and its officers have done
their full duty in the premises, going
further In their generous efforts to
keep alive the association than could
reasonably have been expected of
them, is q foregone conclusion and
not the slightest share of blame for its
decease can attach to them, either in
their capacity as officers or private
citizens. The fact is that our local as
sociation, like all others Of this section
of the country, is proving, for the first
few years OF its existence, incapable of
self support. Now for two years this
deficit has been mainly met out of the
private purses of the directors, each
of whom has given literally both Of
his money and labor to make the Az
sociation a success, both as means of
advertising the advantages of our
city, the resources Of the country sur
rounding, and attracting the attention
of the general public to this section.
The burden has proven too heavy for
a few men, however willing and pub
lie spirited, to carry alone, and unaid-
ed by the masses of the people, each
of whom Is, according to his position
in life, an equal beneficiary Of the
general public good. Thus the mat
ter stands to-day, and unless our citi-
zens come promptly forward, as those
in other cities under similar cIrcum-
stances have willingly done, and put
ting their shoulders to the wheel, as
sist by united and determined effort
in putting the Association on its feet
once more, the city and her people
must suffer the shame and consequent
injury Of that which in the end will
prove little short Of u public calami-
ty. One united and generous effort
on the part of her citizens will save
Texarkana both from shame and loss.
That the effort will be made we sim
cerely trust.

nal, which he did very readily, as the
order was enforced by a deadly Win
chester in the hands of a tough look
ing citizen. No. 4 had orders to pass
Stringtown even if signals were out,
and instead of stopping the engineer
pulled the throttle open and went by
at rapid speed. When the robbers
saw they were outdone they opened
fire on the flying train and shot out
some of the lamps, but did not do any
serious damage. Trainmaster Sulli-
van telegraphed for posse to go up

does.

TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER
The British Battle Ship Victoria
Sinks With All on Board.

News has just been received that a
most terrible calamity has befallen the
British battle ship Victoria, flagship
of the mediterranean squadron, and
hundreds of lives lost in the disaster.
The Victoria, which flew the flag of
Vice Admiral Sir George Tyron, X.
G. b., was run into of Tripoli by the
British battle ship Camperdown, also
belonging to the Mediterranean
squadron and under command of
Capt. Charles Johnstone. The Victo-
ria had an enormous hole made in her
side, through which the water poured
in torrents.
The immense hull of the Victoria at
once began TO settle, and before those
on board of her could cast loose the
small boats she went to the bottom,
carrying down with her nearly all on
board. Some of the officers and crew
managed to get out of the suction
caused by the sinking vessel and were
rescued. Among those is Vice Ad-
miral Tyron. The first reports of the
disaster stated about 200 men had
been drowned, but later dispatches
show the loss of life far greater, not
less than 400, officers and the crew of
the Victoria having gone down with
the ship. The Victoria was twin
screw battle ship, of 1O,470 tons and
14,000-horse power. She mounted
fifteen guns. The Camperdown is
also a first t-class twin-screw battle ship.
She is 10000 tons and 11,500-horse
power and carries 10 guns. Admiral
Sir Geo. Tyron is commander in chief
of the Mediterranean station. He was
made vice admiral August 20, 1891.

Attempted Train Robbery.

An attempt was made to hold up a
train four miles from Collidge, q
small station in New Mexico, by six
armed and masked men, who tagged
the train. The train was stopped In
accordance with the signal, and the
conductor and brakeman were soon
captives in the robbers hands, but the
engineer, who was still on his engine,
selling moment when all the rob-
bers were off the train, pulled the
throttle OF his engine wide open, and
leaving the conductor and brakeman
with the robbers, few down the
track. After the train left the rob-
bers liberated their prisoners and or
dered them to follow the train.

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 perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
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
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

Incompetency in Office.

The cry which continually goes up
from the masses for reformation and
change in the manner of selecting i'm
portant public office holders, arises
far oftener from personal unftness on
the part of some particular official
rather than from the system by which
he was chosen to such Office. A clear
illustration may be found Of this fact
in the postal department of the Feder-
al Government under the official con-
troll of Mr.. Wilson S. Bissell. Little,
If any, complaint has heretofore been

found with the manner of selecting
post-masters and public servants gen.
orally in this department prior to Mr..
Bissen's administration Of its affairs.
But under this gentleman's lax and
apparently careless methods the de-
sire for a radical change has sprung
up in the minds of the people and the
cry is already heard for change
from the appointive to the elective
mode of filling local position in this
department of public service. The
whole matter is lain bare by recent
writer on this subject, in the follow
ing article: The shameful surrender
of Bissell to the clamor of congress-
men with political debts to pay sug-
gests that the postmasters should be
made elective. There is much to be
gained and absolutely nothing to be
lost by snch move. AS matters now
stand the president is charged with
the more imprtant appointments, the
postmaster general with the remain
der. Not once in a thousand times do
they know the men whose applications
they must pass upon. They must de-
pend upon the applicants recommed-
ations and the suggestions of the SEN
ator or representative from his dis
trict. The devil or fake patent med
icine can get recommendations by the
barrel, and congressman in large dis
tricts are often as little acquainted
with the capabilities of the applicants
as with the length of Prester Johns
foot. They are but human, and nat
urally recomend those who have done
most in the past or are likely to do
most in the future to promote the po-
litical fortunes of their patrons. The
president and postmaster general must
either ego it blind" on their own ac-
count or submit to be guided by men
who, in most instances, are playing for
selfadvancment. BY leaving the selec-
tion of postmasters TO the people to
be served, the administration would
be saved much useless worry, congress-
men would have more time to devote
to their legitimate duties and post
masters would be chosen in sympathy
with the people with whom they are
brought into daily contact. Owing
their position to the people, instead
of to the "pull" of particular patron,
they would be more inclined to rem
der efficient service. II the people
can be trusted to elect presidents and
congressman they may be very safely
trusted to choose efficient postmosters.
