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

ant TO the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fever

DON'T PUT IT OFF.

The necessity of spring medl
cine is universally admitted. This
is the best time of year in which to
purify the blood, tn restore the lost
appetite, and to build up the entire
system, as the body is now peculiar
ly susceptible to benefit from medi-
cine. The great popularity attain
ed by Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing
TO it's real merit and its remarka-
bic success, has established il as the
very best medicine to take in the
spring. 1t cures scrofnla, salt
rheum, and all humnrs. biIiousness
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all af
fections cansed or promoted low hy
state OF the system or impure blood.
Don't put it off, but take Hoods,
Sarsaparilia now. 1t will do Won
good.

To Inform His Brownsville Friends
of His Intentions.

The following letter dated Cor

road committee:
DEAR SIR =
On Tuesday morning last arriv
ed here after a very quick run from
New York. On Wednesday l met
the railroad committee here and dis
cussed the situation with them; til,
conclusion being that | would put
the engineers IN the field today to
locate the line finally, and then
commence construction as soon as
the railroad company could he Or
ganized. Before the organization
can be made, l shall have to go to
New York to complete some nego-
tiations that | have pending there,
and as soon as they are closed, l
shall return and have the organiza-
lion made.
"These negotiations 1 hope to
close very quickly, and be able to
come back here in two or three
weeks and start tie work vigorous
ly at both ends of the line.
81 would be much pleased to
come to see you before l go back to
New York, but I feel that to save
time at this iuncture is of great i'm
pOrtance, and therefore hope you
will excuse me tor not coming to
Brownsville. With best regards to
Il 'inquiring frisnda,' I attn very
,ruly yours,

IN a STATE OF SUSPENSE.
Hidalgo Inpatiently Awaits the
Action Of Judge Russell.-An-
other Rain, Etc.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Hlda &C, Tex, June 1.-Oui
citizens are in a state of great sns-
pence; awaiting news from Hon.
john @. Russell in regard to the
complaints and charges lately made
by the county commissioners
against the Hon. VIM. 2. Dougher
ty, county Judge, Charles Cham
pion, county and district clerk and
Manuel Cantu CARA, ex county
treasurer. The citizens of Hid lgo
feel little uneasy on account OF
the tardiness of Judge Russell's &C
ton in regard to the petition and
complaints made against the coun-
ty officials, but they will have to
be content to wait for the result.
Your correspondent is informed
that Judge Dougherty has been
using his endeavors to get one of
our county commissioners, Ely
j 4ckson, to join his side, to resign
or leave the county. The good
citizens think that The judge had
better let Uncle Ely alone and
leave him in peace.
For several days past the county
judge and County clerk have been
in town. The first named very sci
dom comes to the court house; the
second named comes to his office
every day, but keeps The door lock

4 PLAIN TALE OF 1899.

Heroic deeds are not as some apostles Of the
commonplace would have us think, lost to the
world In these DEGENERATE days. Nor yet are
they so plenty that we can afford 10 let even
one pass by unnoticed and unrccorded. Great
disasters and arduous expeditions call them
forth and they are seen, too, in the daily cur

Often the heroes are unconscious Of their own
worth But the chief value of such deeds is not
