A Deserved Compliment.

The ''Daily Register, of Gaines
vile Tex, commenting upon Jen-
ME Holmans engagement at that
place, pays deserved compliment
to a leading member of her support,
Mr., Harry Cook, in the following
terms:
"No one connected with theatri-
cal circles perhaps everso complete
ly captivated the people of Gains
vile with his power as an actor as
did Mr.. Cook during his performing
while here last week with the en-
side Track" company. His fame as
superior actor and a clever, re-
fined gentleman will long live in
GAINESVILLE. Without doubt he is
one of the very best actors on the
road, and if no mishap occurs, ere
long it will be no surprise if we
should hear of his being one of the
leading actors of America

ARKANSAS SENATORS HONORED.
Messrs. Berry and Jones Both Receive
High Committee HonOrs.

Yesterdays telegraphic news,
from Washington, announces the
pleasing fact, that Arkansas Sena-
tors have captured both of the
committee vacancies created by the
resignation of Senator White. The
long sought after position as men,
Der of the committee on commerce
goes to Senator Berry, of Arkan-
sas. The Democratic members of
the Senate held caucus Yesterday
morning for the purpose of assign
ing Senators Blanchard and Nc
Laurin to committees and for filing
the vacancies caused in certain
committees by the resignation of
Senators Walthall and White. The
great interest was felt in the vacan-
cy to be filled on the Committee on
Commerce, that being the highest
ranking committee place to be filed
and there has been for a number of
weeks a dignifed rivalry among
Senators for the high post of honor
and labor The Committee on Com
merce has charge of the appropria-
tions for all of the rivers and har-
bors, and ranks among the highest
of the Senate committees. The
caucus unanimously selected Berry
OF Arkansas, for the place and in
view of his past zeal and ability
shown in river matters the selec-
tion is generally accepted as a wise
one.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was
assigned to fill the vacancy which
Senator Whites resignation created
on Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses. The assignments as agreed
on in the caucus were officially an
nounced in the Senate soon after
the Senate convened.
Congressman McRae left Wash
ington Monday evening for a brief
visit to his home in Arkansas.

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
ative; efectually 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
ufactpred by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.

The manner in which an attempt
to rob Il passenger train, on the /.
& G, N. Ry., was thwarted by of
ficers and train officials, is told by
one of the passengers on the endan-
gered train, as follows;
A plan to rob the international
and Great Northern north bound
limited express at McKert Switch
near Roundout, Tex, at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning, was frustrated
by one of the gang losing his nerve,
The plan to rob the train has been
brewing for a week, The railroad
officials were given the tip that it
was to occur Monday night and the
whole train was heavily guarded.
At Austin one of the gang boarded
the train intending to ask the CON
ductor to stop at Mcneil, AS the
train approached Mcneil the con-
ductor signalled to slacken speed,
expecting to be tagged, but the
robber aboard had discovered the
officers and failed to give the signal
to attack the train. He was, how
ever, SO closely questioned by the
officers that he confessed the plot
and agreed to help trap the gang
last night. He was ordered to tell
them that there was a company Of
rangers aboard yesterday morning,
by accident, hence his failure to
give the signal, and then induce the
the gang to make the attempt
again last night Whether or not
the plan worked has not yet been
ascertained, but certain it is if the
robbers appeared they met recep-
tion which will discourage them
from another attempt during the
course of their naturallifetime.

NO ROOM FOR IT,

The well nigh universal failure
which has for some time past at
tended all efforts Of the Third party
leaders to rally their followers
throughout the country has attrac-
ted the following comment from
the Atlanta Constitutions
During the past few months the
former sympathizers with the Third
party have been closely studying
the situation, and their second So
Der thought is beginning to assert
itself The fact is, the voters who
are most anxious for financial relief
and tariff reform are rapidly COM
ing to the conclusion that there is
absolutely no hope of success if they
scatter their strength and divide,
one element going into the Third
party and the other remaining 10y
al to the Democracy. Itis now APP
parent to every thoughtful observ-
er that the surest road to reform is
pointed out in the Democratic plat
form, and it is also evident that the
rank and file Of the Democracy is
strong enough to influence their
representatives in Congress and
cause them to redeem every pledge
made at Chicago The tremendous
majority Of 1892 has been wiped
out, The voters whose organized
effort won the victory of that year
are Democrats still, and they do
not propose to desert the old party
SO long as there is theslightest hope
that it will be true to It's mission
and will carry out it's promises,
Third parties come and go, 1t is
only once or twice in century that
one establishes itself and wins The
masses who are thoroughly in ear
nest about the financial aud tariff
issues are familiar with the politi-
cal history of the country, and
they fear that if they go into new
party they will encounter a disas.
trous defeat
In every section there is a grow
ing sentiment in favor of pushing
the work Of reform Inside of the
Democratic party Congress has
never yet failed to yield to the de-
mands of the people when they
have been formulated and express
ed clearly, positively and emphati-
cally. The voters Of the party hold
the key to the situation, and when
they make themselves heard the
Chicago platform will be recognized
to the supremelaw Of the Democra-
cY,
