A Self-Made Man and Genial, Eff
cient Official.

The st. Louis Republic, in a re-
cent number, in the course Of an
article in which we're given sketches
of self-made railroad men, had the
following sketch of genial, popu-
lar gentlemen, well known in Ar
kansas
"Mr H. G. Townsend, general
passenger agent Of the Missouri Pa
cific, is one of the hale, good fellows
in which the railway business
abounds He entered the business
in 1868, at the age of rs years. His
first years were spent as clerk in
the freight office Of the Bellefon-
taine railroad at Pittsburg, his ma
tive city. He was afterwards clerk
in the freight Offices Of the Will
mington & Baltimore In 1865 he
became advertising clerk in the
passenger department OF the Penn
sylvania Like many Of the young
men Of the time, he steadily moved
westward and successfully held the
position of general freight and pas
senger agent Of the Wabash at To-
ledo, general passenger agent of
the Wabash, st. Louis and Pacific,
and general passenger agent Of the
Missouri Pacific at st, Louis. The
last named position he still holds,
Mr.. Townsend has been 4 resident
of st. Louis since 1879, and few
railroad men are better known or
more thought Of than he He is
imposingin in person but easy and af-
fable in manners,
When it comes to business he is
never in the rear

LILLIAN LEWIS,

To say good by, sweetheart, is not
so difficult a matter, but very often
it hurts to such anextent that the
wound never heals-and such is the
case in the play Good Bye Sweet
Heart, which Miss Lillian Lewis
will present to a Texarkana audi
ence, at Ghio's Opera House, on
Monday evening, next, Matinee.
Credit Lorraine, in the after
noon.
WAS it not beautiful, charm
ing indeed, are the comments
made upon the production of this
really elegant and attractive drama
wherever produced.
In this play Miss Lewis plays La
Tisba, a beautiful, a good and pure
woman, and true as steel Victor
Hugo wrote great play and as
simple as simplicity itself. Miss Lew
is a shrewd woman for even this
generation of shrewd women-she
has studied public taste and deter
mined that no production short Of

MR.. M0RGAN'S REPORT.
The Testimony in the Hawaiian In
vestigation to be Made Public.

1t is generally understood in
official circles, at Washington, that
the testimony given before the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations,
relative to the Hawaiian question
will be printed in few days at
farthest, but will not be made pub
lie until the committee makes it's
report to the Senate, as the report
will quote quite largely from the
testimony. There is some specula-
tiOn as to what the nature OF the
report will be, but there are no in
dieations'of its general tenor, ex-
cept the position Ex-senator Morgan
well known before the first publica-
tion of Secretary Greshams letter
to Mr.. Cleveland, outlining a policy,
which has since been carried out.
1t is understood Mr. Morgan is
drafting 4 report which will be made
as a majority report whether it is
agreed to by Democrats or not, as
in case it does not meet with their
views it will probably be supported
by Republican members Of the com
mittee. This is understood to be a
possibility unless the matter be
made a party issue, as has been the
case in the House. There is also
said to be a possibility of two or
three reports, one by Republicans,
another by the friends of the adj
ministration on the committee, and
still another by Senator Morgan
and some members of the commit
ee who may decide with MIN to take
a middle course, neither severely
criticising the present administra-
ton, nor criticising the last admin
istration, as has been done in the
House resolution.
The meetings of the committee
have been closely guarded during
the investigation, and every effort
made to have its proceedings remain
secret, and the same course viii no
doubt be taken in regard to the
preparation of the report.

When War is Declared

Against mans happiness. by his

fled and brought speedily and easily
to terms. That potent regulator
of digestion, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, disciplines the rebellious
organ thoroughly, Indigestion
arises from weakness of the stom-
ach, and the food in it, for want Of
power to digest, decomposes and
acidiges, giving rise to heartburn,
Aatulence and pain, besides a multi
tude of symptoms both changeful
and perplexing. But peace soon
reigns when the great stomachic is
resorted to and used with persist
ence. Dyspepsia gives rise to NOR
bid discontinue Of mind, and ev-
en- sleeplessness and hypochondria
in chronic cases. To the complete
dismissal of these the Bitters is full
ly adequate. Liver complaint, con-
stipation, debility, rheumatism and
malaria are completely subdued by
this genial medicine. ~"

BERRY AND TERRY.
They Address the Arkansas Democrat
ic Association at Washington,

There was an unusually large at
tendance at the rooms of the Ark
ansas Democratic Association, in
Washington at the recent meeting
of that today, to hear Hon. Jas. H.
Berry, Arkansas distinguished Sen
ator who had been invited to ad-
dress the meeting.
The Senator was in good trim,
and, although the press of public
duties had prevented him from pre-
pairing an elaborate address, he
seemed to be full of good old-fash-
ioned Democracy, which he gave
out straight from the shoulder in a
way that seemed to delight his
hearers. He touched up the civil
service a little, and said that what
ever the intention of its trainers it
had worked a hardship on Demo
Gratis by being put into operation at
a time when the Republicans were
in power and offices we're all filed
by Republicans.
He thought the Democrats ought
to have had an equal start with
them at any rate. He thought that
when the Democrats get into power
and came to administer the affairs
Of this nation we ought to be sur
rounded and assisted by our friends
and not by enemies, He congratp-
lated Arkansas on the fact that her
delegation in congress had stood
solid for the Wilson bill, and with
much feeling urged the young men
present to never forget the state of
Arkansas, and no matter what po-
litioal disappointments might cloud
their pathway to always stand firm
in the faith of the Democratic par
ty.
Congressman W L. Terry was
present and was called on for a
speech. lie said that he was glad
to see so many Democrats present
from Arkansas, and hoped to see
the day when more Of them would
be here. He also touched up the
civil service and said it was a pro
lection to Republicans and a stumb-
ling block to Democrats and that
the period had arrived when we
could add to that principle Of De
mocray equal rights to all under
the law" the further principle of
equal number Of Offices under the
civil service law. Col. Asa Morgan,
of Union county, Ark, was present,
and in response to a call for
speech, responded in few charac-
teristic sentiments. 1t was
pleasant evening and all went home
delighted with the speeches.

THE TARIFF BILL,

A member of the subcommittee
of the Democratic members of the
Senate Committee said today that
the tariff bill would be reported to
the majority members of the full
committee next week, There is
reason to believe that the sub-com-
mittee has agreed upon ! cent per
pound on sugar,
The probabilities are that it has
been determined that there shall be
an extention of the bonded period
of whiskey, and that there will be
an increase perhaps of 10 cents a
gallon in whiskey over the House
bill. Coupled with this is the state
ment that whiskey now on bond
would be compelled to pay the tax.

PASTENE DOWNED
Pride of the City Front
Knocked Out.
Wharf but Received the Deadly
Upper-Cut.

The BurnsPastene mill was an uuadvertised
ARRAY which took place UNEXPECTEDLY yesterday
morning at Jackson-street dock. The puRilis-
tic star of John L. Sullivan Pastene has set.
The sun of Burns is IN its zenith.
Pastene, pride of the fruit wharf, has long
been champion among the waterfront fighters.
He has been bully who has neglected no occa-
sion to show what he can do with his "prOpS."
j. Sullivan Pastene's props are now in the
shape of several pillows that brace bis aching
person. In short, Mr.. Pastene has been van
pushed.
AS the usual string OF fruit teams passed
through the JacksOn-street wharf entrance the
bellgerent Mr.. PaSteEe was at hand 10 curse
al drivers and TO try to show that The firm he
represents mad right OF way which drivers
must respect.
TAXA d. wag' away" shouted Mr. Pastene,
in the dialect Of his eounIrymen. His remarks
were addressed 10 Thomas Burns, who presided
over soda-water wagon.
Burns never moved.
The pride of the dock grew angry and danced
about on one leg making wild stabs al an
imaginary victim and pummeling that unfortu-
nate person in pantOmime.
Burns never moved.
The wrath OF Pastene gathered force with
every choice adjective he rolled from his
tongue. his admirers gathered IN force and in
aweful whispers told Of how the pride could
handle his dukes"
Still Burns never moved.
From the form Of the enraged Pastene a
shirt was hastily removed. He swOre little
more and told in business-like manner that
he would "bTeaka data fellows nose." He
reached toward the soda wagon.
Then Mr. Burns moved.
John Pastene, pride of the dock, was rolled
about the plankiDg. given few lovetaps on the
nose. battered somewhat IN the vicinity OF the
mouth and otherwise disfgured. Never was q
man so glad TO see a police officer as was he
when he espied Sergeant Tom Mahoney coming
to the rescue. When the sergeant arrived he
was as limp as rag.
Burns took his victory very indifferently but
the persons who have frequently been bothered
with Pastene's bluffs remarked that IL served
bin right
Both particle ants were arrested and taken to
the North Harbor station. They both gave ball
and were released.
