SAILED THE SEAS SO YEARS
One of His Experiences.

For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed
the sea- most OF that time as master Of a ves-
sci, and upon retiring from the water was app
pointed by the Secretary OF the United States
Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries in
Alaska, which position he held five years. He
relates one experience as follows:
For several years | had been troubled with
general nervousness and pain in the region
Of my heart My greatest atiiictlon was
slceplessness; 1t was almost impossible at any
time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen
DR.. Miles remedies advertised began using
Nervine. After taking small quantity the
benefit received was so great that was posi-.
lively alarmed, thinking the remedy cons
tanned opiates which would finally be iniuri-
Gus to me; but on being assured by the drug
gst that it was perfectly harmless, l contin-
ued it together with the Heart Cure. Today
| can conscientiously say that DR., Miles Re-
storative Nervine and New Heart Cure did
more for me than anything had ever taken.

in New York and San Francisco without ben

1udicious use of these most valuable remedies,
and heartily recommend them TO all afflicted
as was."-Capt, A. p. Loud, Hampden, Me.

THE MAYORiLTY CONTEST.

The News started in this city
campaign to work for the election
of mayor who would rlgidly en-
force the law as found on the Gil y
statute books, particularly the laws
against gambling and Sunday open
ing of saloons. Personally it has
no friend which it specially desires
to see elected mayor, and nothing
personally against the present
mayor who is seeking reelection on
his past record.
This much by way of premise,
the issue is clear and plain made by
the gentlemen who are candidates.
Under the administration as it ls
gambling halls have been kept
open with as much regularity
as business houses IN the city,
and are as we'll known
and almost as easily found as San
gers great dry goods establishment;
where, almost without restraint from
the Law, gamblers ply Their nefarious
,cks, pluo king the weak and Il &C.
ing the ignorant and unwary, while
quite number of the saloons of
the city remain pric tically open On
Sunday with as much regularity as
they do on Monday.
This plain statement is part Of
the record which the present adj
m,nistration has made, and now
seeks to have endorsed by the
citizens of Waco. OF course, the |
gamblers and saloon men endt rse it |
and will do all in their pow
er to secure his re election I
bat fortunately for the good name !
of our fair city, the gambler,
and saloon buns are
greatly in the minority, and the
question of placing in the flee of |
mayor a man pledged to enforce the
law and close the saloons on Sun
day, and close and keep closed all
public gambling ha. Il, can be easily
elected, if the people who believe
in tie enforcement of the law can be
brought to act together with the
same unity tfat will characterize
the labor and votes of the gamblers,
,aloonm en- and buns.
Two gentlemen, each pledged to
sLforce the law, are before the peo
Pile for the Office, either enc of
whom THE News would gladly see
elected, and since the canvass opened
t has striven to learn which of the
.wo, in the final struggle would be
'ble to command the strongest fol.
owing, and the conclusion which 81
careful examination brings is that
Bart Moore can be elected by a
,reditable msjority if those who
aver his platform will rally as a
init to his support.
