Francis Murphy, the well known tenn
perance advocate, asserts that the excessive
use Of intoxicants Is on the decrease, and
one of the chief causes for this decrease he
says is the demand of business, which, ow-
ing to its greater eInctions requires more
sobriety than it did formerly. Other
causes are undoubtedly that II bothers the
habitual drunkard to SECURE liquor; many
druukerds are losing their appetites for
strong drink through the efficacy of the va
rious cures, and last but not least II is no
longer fashionable to get drunk.

A DEAD TOWN.

Passing along the streets of a
city of $4,000 people few days
ago, party with me said: "Do you
see that store occupying nearly a
block? Well, sir, that store began
a few years ago and woke up our
merchants and the whole town.
They begun in small way,so far as
stock is concerned; but they were
wide-awake advertisers, and while
other stores said nothing, they were
telling the people of goods and
bargains. tell you they simply
woke up this town. 1t all woke
up. and the town has felt the great
influence of that concern"
We stopped, and that was a
grand store-simply showed what
GET UP and snap would do.
The other stores had all the
"natural" advantages-kin, old
settlers-money could give; but the
wide.awake store got the business.
Let Waco "get the idea"
Do not listen TO these old stingy
moss.back "fossils" about "natural'
advantages. The man or town with
get.up. and.snap "get there"

Higgins Gives His Idea" on Exeur-
slons, Dead Towns, New
Bridge, Etc.

Waco can always find some way
TO spead her money; excursions TO
Chicago, Ga weston, Dallas, San
Antonio. But who says diets
have something to bring money and
people to Waco?''
| hope the excursionists, when
they 90 to the katy" depot, will
simply look at the stingy shanty,
then think of The thousands q
dollars that the railroad gets from
Waco. We have not even decent
way station depot; yet the katy
is always blowiDg and putting about
its road. Waco has all the ad'
vantages Of q city, so far as getting
"awsy" is concerned, but if che
was dependent upon the katy"
for any "ipducements" to stop in
Waco, to a stranger, we have never
seen or heard Of it. Waco must
throw into the railroad with a
scoop, but the Kay" never gives
US thimbleful.
Ali other roads except he"Katy"
have given excursion rates into
Waco; but the big katy" is too
big and self-important.
Let us get up something which
will bring people and money to US
not take it away. Besides the rail.
road fare is not the big item of ex.
pense; it's the GRUB, etceteras.
Let the people not forget the

should increased How will that

CAPTAIN HrGGINSON'S CASE.

Washington, May 16 (speciaD.-The case OF Captain
Hisginson continues to be topic OF much Interest
IN naval circles Further facts relating TO the failure
Of the Atlanta to sail for Nicaragua were made public
today II cannot be said that these new develop
mepts are favorable to Captain Higginson. At least
this Is the opinion Of a number OF officials at the
Navy Department who familiar with all the facts
which have come to light. These offc1as say that
considerable importance attaches to Captain I1gsn
sons conduct and that the results are sure to b.
Injurious to the general interests OF the Navy. o.
we'll as the future OF the Atlana's commander. The
Younger officers are much exercised at the possibility
that false notions may become current That there Is
general lack Of aerness and zeal In the performance
of duty In the Navy and that the personnel Is not
prepared for the professional evolution going on
IL was learned at the Department to-day, that
shortly before sailing Captain Hgglnson applied TO
Secretary Herbert for an official inquiry into his coz
