PAN-AMERIoAN CONGRESS.

A prominent delegate to the Pan
American congress, which meets in
st. Louis, Mo-, on the 3rd day of Oc-
tober, 1898, has this to say of that
body and its proposed deliberations;
| have no special information about
this congress which meets in the city
of st. Louis on the 3rd of next month.
| think, however, that the increase of
our trade relations with all Spanish
republics should receive the special
attention Of that congress. 1t might
be well if we could cultivate such re-
lations, instead of paying so much at
tention to what England wants us to
do in regard to our financial affairs.
Spanish republics owe their political
existence to the protecting agency Of
this country. Since they threw off
the yoke Of monarchy they have been
trying to pattern after us politically,
and that being the case we ought to
have enough influence to secure from
them such trade laws as would bring
about a commercial reciprocity favor
able to them and the United States.
The principal benefit we derive from
England is the cotton we sell her, but
with trade relations established with
the other republics on this continent
every bale of cotton now exported to
Europe could be manufactured into
cloth here at home and sold on this
continent This immense trade would
make our country and the countries
we trade with Independent Of Eu-
ropean gold and would settle both our
tariff and financial troubles.

Sacked and Burned.

The alarm of fire, sounded at -four
O'Clock this morning, drew a crowd ia
the burning store house of Mr.. G. r.
Motz, in the western suburbs of the
city, where it was found that the
family grocery store owned by Mr..
Motz, was in flames The fire burned
rapidly and in a short time consumed
both house and stock, valued at about
$1,000. From the first Mr.. Motz be-
lieved the fire to be of incendiary
origin, but nothing further was known
until daylight came and revealed a
regular path leading from the rear
alley-way through the garden to the
store, which was literally strewn with
wreckage by thieves who had first
looted the store of all portable goods
and then set fire to the building 10
cover their crime. Further investi-
CATION showed that the "firebugs"
had first killed the faithful watch
dog belonging to Mr. Motz, and then
proceeded to carry out their thlevish
designs. The officers are on close
track Of the guilty parties and it is to
be hoped that their capture will be
effected. The fire was a total loss to
Mr.. Motz, as he had no insurance,
either on store or stock.

A HEATED DEBATE.
Senators Engage In Striking Person
alities and Deliver Left
Hansed Compliments.

In the Senate yesterday Senators
German and Wolcott INDUCED in a
wordy war, in which the Republican
Senator from Colorado got decidedly
the worst of the battle. The discus
sion was evoked by Mr.. Wolcott's ac-
cusation as TO the employment of un-
worthy means in securing or influence
ing votes, when he was answered in
turn by Mr.. German, who charged
him with gathering information by
evesdropping at the doors of commit
tee chambers when in session. The
feature of the day in the House was
the speech of Congressman Lawson,
of Georgia, who, speaking from the
standpoint of states rights, gave ut
terance to the following sanguine sem
timents:
ain my judgment" he began, "the
Democrats of the House present one
of the most sublime spectacles to be
witnessed by freemen. The successes
of the Democratic party have been
coeval with the days of the republic,
and now it is found opposing the laws
because they threaten the liberties of
the people. The rhapsodies of Mr..
Brossius yesterday were not effective,
becruse they were in support of laws
that strike at the foundation of liber-
ty. The theory of the government is
that the people are not able to govern
themselves, it is failure. Other
countries are governed by kings; this
country by the people"
He went on to draw very clearly the
limitations of the functions of the
Federal and state governments, each
supreme within its species. This, he
claimed, In no wise argued weakness
in either. He proceeded exhaustively
into the history Of the adoption of the
clause of the constitution under which
the election laws were passed, to show
that the construction placed upon it
was unwarranted. Although the Su-
preme court has decided them to be
constitutional, the laws had been car
ried to the higher tribunal-the will
of the people at the ballot box, and
and the decision of the court had been
reversed. The decision of the people
should be carried out by this repeal,
in order that the independence of the
states might not be crushed at some
future time by even more drastic
laws.

TEXARKANA TO THE FORE.
Congress Asked to Give our District
Court Judicial Control Of Part
OF the Indian Territory.

Some months ago citizens OF Texar-
kama, and the DEMOCRAT, agitated the
question of giving to our U. S. Dis
triet court its fair and legitimate
share of court business, contiguous, in
the Indian Territory. We are glad
to know that Congress will decide
the matter by vote, and we certainly
think it will do the square thing by
us.
A bill has been introduced in the
present Congress to annex portion
of the Choctaw nation, Indian Terri
tory, to the Eastern judicial district of
Arkansas for judicial purposes. 1t
provides that the portion of the Choc-
taw nation, Indian Territory, within
the following boundaries; Beginning
on the Red river at the southeast cor
ner Of the Choctaw nation, thence
north with the boundary line between
the said Choctaw nation and the state
Of Arkansas to a point where Big
Greek, tributary of the Black Fork
of The Kimishi river, crosses the said
boundary line, thence westerly with
Big Greek and the said Black Fork to
the junction Of said Black Fork with
Buffalo Creek, thence down the XII
mishi river to its junction with Red
river, thence down the Red river to
the place of beginning, shall, from and
after the passage of this act, be an
nexed to and constitute a part of the
eastern judicial district of Arkansas
and the Texarkana division thereof
for judicial purposes.
That the United States court held
at Texarkana, Ark, shall have exclus-
i've original jurisdiction of all offenses
committed against the laws of the
United States within the limits Of that
portion of the Indian Territory at
tached to the eastern judicial district
of Arkansas by this act, of which ju-
risdiction has not been given by pre-
vious acts of Congress to courts es-
tablished in the Indian Territory.

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
atiye; 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

THE BIG SHOW OF THE WORLD
Twenty-Second Annual Tour of Sells
Brothers Enormous United
Shows.

On October 14th, 1898, the famous
Sells Brothers will visit Texarkana
with their entire colossal unity of
Circuses, Menagerie, Moorish Caravan
and Spectacular Pilgrimage to Mec-
ca, Regal Roman Hippodrome, Olym-
plan Elevated Stages, Tropical Aqua
rum, Aviary, Royal Japanese Troupe,
Arabian Nights Entertainment and
splendid Free Street Parade. Had not
Adam Forepaugh made his final exit
from mortality's great arena, pre-
sumably to manage "a galaxy of stars"
elsewhere, he would be forced to con
cede that Sells Brothers now have es-
sentially the Greatest Show on Earth,
and the only Legitimate one of its
kind left. A menagerie which includes
among many rare wild beasts the only
pair of full grown giant Hippopotami,
worth 100000, is something to boast
Of Other notable exclusive features
are most singular Hairless Horse, a
whole flock of stately Ostriches, and
the tiniest pair of cattle ever known
yeritable mites from elfdom. The
program of Hippodrome races is upon
a truly imperial scale, and introduces
the greatest drivers, riders and ath-
letes of both sexes, including an as
tonishing troupe of Berber and Be-
douin gymnasts. The newly devised
spectacle of the Pilgrimage to Mecca
will introduce many rich, striking and
romantic novelties. Excursions on all
railroads.
Best of all these alluring features is
the reduction of admission prices from
81 to 80 cents.

Of Texarkana and Presented at
Little Rock.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. 28.-

tempting to cash forged check ON
the Citizens Bank of this city, yester-
day morning.
The check was drawn on the First
National Bank of Texarkana, for $137
so In favor of B. f. Thaycr, aud signed
by Y TMcGills. Thayer seemed very
anxious to cash it, but Cashier Eng
lands suspicious were aroused, and
telling Thayer to call at a certain hour
later, he wired the Texarkana bank
and learned that the check was
forgery. Upon Thayer's re-
turn, Chief McMahan, who was near
by, arrested him. Thayer claimed
that the check was sent him from
Texarhana by man named Frazier IN
payment Tor work, and later in the
day Thaycr was released. He lives in

A Remedy Of General Utility.

1t Is among the follies Of which the
manufacturers of many proprietary
remedies are guilty, to term their
medicines "panaceas," or to claim for
them the quality of panaceas. There
is no such thing as "panacea," which
means a remedy adapted to all diseas-
es. This absurditY has never been
perpetrated by the proprietors Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. But
they do claim, and with justice, that
it is a remedy of general utility, and
this because IL restores that regular
and vigorous condition Of the stomach,
liver and bowels which conduce to the
recovery Of general health. Thus it
fortifes the system against malaria by
infusing stamina, and causing harmon
GUS action of the organs which, as
long as they go right, are the best
guaranty against an endemic malady
like chills and fever 1t accompishes
a double purpose by stimulating ac-
tivity of the kidneys, since it not only
prevents their disease and decay, but
expels from the blood through them
impurities that cause rheumatism,
gout and dropsy. Use it with conf
dence.
