Texas.
VIM. Hardy, the man who took
morphine yesterday with suicidal
intent, died today
Hardy was hard drinker and had
tried time and again to quit, but was
unable to conquer his thirst, and it is
thought that he became respondent

He is a Houston boy, being born and
raised here, and has for several days
worked at the carpe nter's trade

Rotation in Office as a Preventive
of Def Alcation.

| Tbs recent announcement of Mr.
| Cleveland as to reappoin'ment of
former off ce holders has created re.
newed interest in the doctrine of rota-
| ton in Office, which of late years h As
occupied more or less conspicuous
place In the platforms of every p oliti
cal party looking to reforms and purity
of administration. THIS wholesome
doctrine is not based on the theory
| that more than two terms necessarily
begets corruption in every indlyidal
| case, but on the idea founded on fact
and experience that long terms and
continued incumbency beget negli-
gence and recklessness, and have in
variably proceeded every case of rot
teness and corruption without excep--
ton, which has occurred in the United
States in fifty years. Look at the long
list OF defaulting cashiers or presi.
dents of banks now located in Canada
or elsewhere. Sse the dlshonored
roll of state treasurers call south of
Mason & Dixons line enough to
bring the blush OF shame to the cheek
Of every southern man:
Churchill, of Arkansas, $80,522.
Polk, of Tennessee, 100000.

Tate of Kentucky. RAT OPS.
Burke, OF louisiana, S27 900.
Nolan, of Missouri, $32,445
Hemingway, of Mississippi, $780,

Archer, of Maryland, 100000.
Woodruff, of Arkansas, 100000.
Herbert, OF Delaware, $6o0,000.
The shortage and defslcstion in all
these cases was shown, on iuves,iga-
ton, to have existed for several years
previous to discovery. The fuse had
been burning slowly and unseen for
many years, blu. the disastrous explos

Let the people wake up in Waco
and Dallas and other cities OF Texas
where municipal contests are going

persons, let the wholesale doctrine of
rotation be rigidly enforced in every
case where money has been handled.

A Wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. 1t is said that
he is born again every two or three years.
His body is virtually re-made from food
To retard this making over is radically
wrong, as man loses so much vitality in
the elayed process that it takes long
time TO recuperate. The process of max
ing anew is so accelerated by Durging
with BRAEDRETH's PILLS that a new man,
as it We're, may be made in two or three
months, and the change in the mechanism
is such that the worn out part is replaced
by the new without the usual running
down of the entire machine. You don't
have to stop for repairs. Purge away
with BRANDRETH's PILLS the old, dis
eased and worn out body. They are pure.
ly vegetable, absolutely harmless, and
safe to take at any time.-ad.
