La Grippe,

During the prevalence Of the Grippe
the past seasons it was noticeable
fact that those who depended upon
DIR. Kings New Discovery, not only
had speedy recovery, but escaped all
of the troublesome after effects of the
malady. This remedy seems to have
peculiar power in ei'eoting rapid
cures not only in cases of La Grippe,
but in all diseases Of Throat, Chest and
Lungs, and has cured cases Of Asthma
and Hay Fever Ct long standing Try
it and be convinced 1t won't dissa-
point. Free Trial Bottles at W, b.

prof. Conyers' Arithmetic Glass.

The following is a conversation
between Prof. Conyers and our
news gatherer
L. your class in Arithmetic sue
cess? Yes, as to their progress,
decidedly so. They are 80 inter
ested that the hours from 8 to 10
D. m. pass before they are aware of
of it. They are all making rapid
progress, and by the end of the
first month they will have acquired
a knowledge Of arithmetic that they
would not lose for ten times its
cost.
Do you propose thorough ana.
lytical course of short business
methods only?
The course is analytical and thor
ougb, but the latest and shortest
business methods are included.
Would You admit new members
into your class at any time? Yes,
for the present, the class being di,
vided into sections, any that may
come can bs accommodated. There
are great many in Waco now at
a disa Vantage In life because they
do not understand arithmetic.
Good bye.

Strength and Health.

II you are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If ola
Grippe has left you weak and
weary, use Electric Bitters. This
remedy acts directly on Liver, Stom-
ach and Kidneys, gently siding those
organs to perform their functions. If
you are afflicted with Sick Headache,
you will find speedy and permanent
relief BY taking Electric Bitters. One
trial will convince you that this is the
remedy you need. Large bottles only

HOW THE BLUFF WAS CALLED.

Champion Corbett Cornered by Parson
Davies In the Fight by Mouth.
From the Chicago Mail. July IL.
Champion James ]. Corbett did a most I'M
wise act in making his ferocious bluff to Peter
Jackson from the center Of the Columbian
Athletic Clubs ring.
Fully 500 voices had called Corbett into the
ring. but not one Of the crowd present expected
to hear the champion pour out such q TRADE Of
abuse on "Parson" Davies, who has never, in
his sporting career at least, done an act to merit
such abuse.
When the cheering which greeted Corbett had
subsidized the champion deliver himself Of the
following speech with all the dramatic force he
could summon:
