A NEW SANITARIUM.
The Texas Medical ana Surgical In
stitute

stitute
Are negotiating for the building of a
sanitarium. Consequently it IS perma-
nent institution. The president, DR.. G.
A. Munch,is gentleman of many honors,
and whose credentials cannot be surpass-
ed, having four diplomas from prominent
medical colleges, two honorable diplomas,
one for diseases of women, also licensed
Nj. d. by the state medical board of Color
ado.
We realize our reputation is at stake
and we propose 10 maintain our "epuLa-
ton by cures effected under our care and
by our treatment. Every case that we
undertake to treat and fail TO cure is a
direct injury to us. Therefore we must be
prudent and careful. Consequently we
always give an honest opinion on all cases
that consult us, and if we believe you
durable after an examination, we will tell
you so, and what it will cost you, and
leave you free to decide for yourself. We
will not urge or persuade you TO take
treatment.
We treat all diseases, and particularly
solicit those of a lingering, difficult or
dOu5 full character.
Our prices are low to suit the needs of
the people, and we furnish our own mpdi-
ants are graduates from the most prOmi
nent medical colleges, none of them haV-
ing less than two diplomas. Each doctor
is skilled in their several SpPCialIicS. and
thus combined, the Texas Medical and
Surgical Institute has a staff Of physicians
that make a speciality of almost every
disease that the human flesh is heir to-
Therefore you can readily see that sue
cess is sure to follow our treatment. So
sure are we of success in all cases we I'M
dertake that we will give a contract in
writing to cure. As the doctors of the
Texas Medical and Surgical Institute are
graduates Of all the different schools of
medicine they do not cOntine to any ore
school or system of medicine. We treat
our patients to cure them, and use with
out prejudice whatever will accomplish
that result.
There are no two cases of disease eX-
aCtly alike, and for this reason no two
cases can be treated exactly alike. The
great success of our treatment is largely
due to the fact that we watch every step
| in the patients progress carefully and
suit the medicines and treatment to the
exact condition. None but QuackS and
| impOStOrS will undertake to cure a serious
disease in any other way, and all who
claim to cure various diseases by means
| of this or that ONE remedy are deceiving
| the public. We make a speciality of Apo
pleNy, Epilepsy, FltS, insanity, Rupture,
| Piles, Blood and Skin Diseases (SCrOfula),
TumOrS, Cancers, Lung Diseases, Dis
eases of the Eye and Ear, Diseases OF
| Women, Private Diseases, Sexual Debil-

suit us. We will in strictest confidence

too poor to pay for treatment we will
treat free all such applicants on Tuesdays

FERTILE ALA=KA.
[F. J. G one in the Century,

The nature of the whole land
can be roughly divided into three
conditions: Snow and ice fields bury
the coast range and choke up every
hollow; to the immediate north
the valleys are rocky and barren,
but the vast interior beyond is
richly clothed in luXuriant vegeta.
ton. Scientific authorities theor-
etically mapped out giant ice fields
as spreading over the entire land
from the Fairweather and Mount
St. Elias ranges north almost to
the Valley OF the Yukon. Colossal
heights mantled in never-melting
SHOWS tower thousands of feet in
the air, but within the shadow OF
these mighty uplands, in the shell
tered hollows beneath, lie immense
valleys carpeted in richest grasses,
and gracefully tinted with wild
flowers. Here. in the summer
geniel cline is found, where straw
berries and other wild fruits ripen
to luxuriance, where there are four
and a half months of summer and
seven and a half of winter. In
June and July the sun is lost below
the horizon only for a few hours,
and the temperature, though chilly
at night, has an average of IS
degrees in daytime.

SOME Texas journals raise the
"bloody shirt" cry against Chicago
and intimate that it will be no loss
to the state not to be represented.
Texas will be sorry once, and that
for all coming time, if she is not
represented in that Worlds fair.
At this writing it looks as though
the woman's building for Texas
would be sold under the hammer
and the state disgraced in the eyes
of all the nations. Texas is large
state and a rich state and pros
porous state and a state with mar
vellOus resources, but the measure
of her performances does not even
up with all these advantages.

WISDOM IN ECONOMY.

While the incoming city admin
istratiOn will be expected to eCOnO-
mize in every way compatible
with the interests of the city they
will not be expected to cut down
expenses where the reduction of
service incident thereto will i'm
pair the public peace, health or
security. This consideration must
not be lost sight of in dealing with
the fire department, upon the
efficiency of which the preserVa-
ton of the property of the citizens
depends. The extravaganza of the
old city administration has been
so CONSPICUOUS and the dissatisfac-
ton of the people Herewith so
marked, as evidenced in the
late election, that there is
danger of the adminiStra-
ton being driven into an oppO-
site extreme under the universal
demand for retrenchment. This
policy would be as unwise as the
former, and must be as carefully
guarded against as the old eX-
travagance. The real interest of
this city in all things is promised
as the first care of the incoming
council and not the interest of in
dividuals. The police force of this
city can readily discharge the
duties now devolving upon the
sanitary inspectors, and do so
with increased benefit to the city
as police. 1t seems equally GER
tain that some increased expense
must be incuCred, for the present
at least, in the Auditors Depart
ment. Whether this reduction of
expenses can be carried into the
fire department or not is one of the
questions that the incoming cOun-
Gil will have to decide, and in this
decision they must depend upon
their own collective wisdom, after
the facts are clearly before them.
The present council was elected as
a business council, to do munich
pal business in a business way and
are expected to have the business
brains to do this satisfactorily to
business men. Pending the doing
of their business in any other way
the city will give them credit for
the ability necessary to discharge
their duties intelligently with
the interests of the city as their
personal and official concern.

MEN AND WOMEN

Many men and women who a sho time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered by a sense of lassitude,
languOr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienced lack of old time vigOr, a GER
tain lack of confidence, and nervous appre-
hensiOn instead of the old courage; a con-
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am
bition: their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterless. they are haunted with mel
anchOly and frequently have the "blueS;'
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily discour-
aged, irritable, mOroSe and unhappy; pleas
ures tire and friends bore them.
DO you know what your trouble is, or
what you are coming to? Come at once and
consult DIR. j. N. Hathaway, the successful
specialist. of this city, and he will tell you
also how to get cured. Do not delay.

Yesterday. The question has not attracted gen.
cral attention as yet, although it is one OF con
siderable Importance to the taxpayers. 1t is
self-evident that tcachers cannot be put on inc
same footing in this matter as policemen anu
fircmen. since the latter are frequently com
pelled TO risk their lives in the performance OF
thor duties. and no substantial reason has been
brought forward in favor OF treating this class
of city employees in different way from the
hundreds Ct other persons in the cty's service.
To appropriate public money for this purpose
woull G tahli.h a bad precedent and Introduce

be TO pay the teachers fair salaries, ana thus
enable them t. save enough for their support In
old age without any necessity of pensions?

TIE EdSTENT CRUISER.

The preliminary trials CT the armoIed cruiser
Ncw-York, while unofficial and conducted IN
the interest Of the contractor, indicate re-
markable advance upon all previous achieve
mcnts in American shipbuilding. The contract
requirements call FIR 10000 horsepower and
a speed OF 90 knots. The engine power de-
velopcd in these trials was 1880, and this
was done without exhausting all reserves OF
fuce. In a run Of four consecutive hours m
average speed of nearly 20 1-2 knots was main
tanned For a new vessel, with the most com
rlex machinery in operation for the first time,
this was wonderful performance. II not only
insures the fulfilmcnt of the contract require
ments, but the earning Of considerable premi-
ums We shall not be surprised If the New
Yorks speed exceeds 81 knots on an official
test That achievement will be worth $500, 900
to the builders; but on general principles the
offering Of premiums for excess of speed is to
he condemned. II is conceded by expert en-
gneers that the strain Of these attempts to
obtain maximum speed and horsepower is
highly injurious to the mechanism OF vessel.
A record Is made for the financial benefit OF
