A Most Magnificent Heirloom

Is health, No gem in tiara or
coronet is so precious. Per contra,
a hereditary tendency to disease,
often proves a fatal legacy, since
the most trifing causes may fer
tilize the latent germs of i'll health
and render the fruitage dreadly.
An inherent transmitted weakness
of the physical constitution is more
eilectually opposed and counteract-
ed by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
than by any other safeguard. Di-
gestion and assimilation promoted
due hillary secretion, action of the
kidneys and bowels insured, are so
many guarantees of permanent
health, and these are the conse-
Quences, among others of like i'm
portance, of a resort to the Bltters.
This medicine also prevents and
remedies malarlous complaints,
nervousness, chronic insomnia,
rheumatism and neuralgia. Such
warnings as loss of appetite and
sleep, too, should not be disregard
ed. The Bitters will restore both
without fail.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE9

1t is well known fact, that since
electricity has been used as light
ing agency, the price for lighting
cities are varied, yet the cost of
MAINTAINING the current that pro
duces the light is the same,
Take our own city, and we find
that the west side pays less for
lights than does the east side,
seemingly, but as a fact more, for
one side pays in city scrip, which is
deprecated, while the other pays
the money.
We see from the st. Louis Repub-
lie that these prices fiuctuate in
large cities and no two are charged
the same. Take the following
cities and see the prices for the
same service are far different: San
Francisco pays for each light per
year $40, st, Louis, $75, Little
$65, New York, $84, Washington
City, 1882, Brooklyn, 1882, Philadel-
phia, $177, and Boston $237. 1t
looks very much like st, Louis and
Little Rock have the edge on the
electric light companies, while on
the other hand, the electric light
company seems to have a firm grip
on the other cities.
We think the prices charged too
high and our courts or legislative
bodies should appoint a commission
to regulate such eXtortions as they
do to regulate railroads.

A Rising Railroad City in

The Texarkana & Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-

miles south of Texarkana.
Already depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not a particle Of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
of considerable Importance, Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, ETC.,
will insure its making a live town,
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus Of the
Texarkana q Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on high,
sandy plateau, four miles east Of
Bright Star and three miles west Of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, near by,
will receive the drainage and olla(
of the place.
Work Of opening out the streets
will begin at once Opposite the

GREAT MAJORITY USE SILVER.

The gold bugs are continually re-
iterating the falsehood that gold
alone is the worlds money, and that
the United States as one of the
commercial nations of the world
must accept the gold standard and
place herself upon the same fnan-
cial basis. Let us see how much is
in this audacious statement. There
are twelve prominent nations that
use silver, while only three arc on

SHE WAS SUSPICIOUS.

I was on a Sixth avenue elevated train
the other day when a woman with big
satchei to carry asked for the New Haven
boat. I offered my services to pilot her for
five or six blocks and take care Of the
satchel. and after looking me over with
critical eye she said:
Young man. you don't look SO very ia-
| nocsnt. but ! think I'll trust you and take

l saw that she feared I would bolt with
the satchel. and therefore took 1t slow and
did not get foot ahead Of her. When we
had arrived at the steamboat dock she
took out dime and extended 1t with the

its shattered mullions today sees only
the marshland and the wrinkled
waters; hears only the plant Of the cir
cling sulls and the weary crying OF the
sea.
Ard that Gods anger il not everlast-
irg. and that the evil that there Is In
men shall be blot,ed out, he who doubts
may also learn from rhe wisdom OF the
simple fsher-folk, who dwell about the
borders of the marslrland; for they will
tell him that on stormy nights there
speaks a deep voice from the sea, call
ing the dead monks to rise from their
forgotten graves, and chant mass for
the souls of the men of the town of
seven towers. C!-thed in long glitter
ing white, they move with slowly pac-
ing feet around tho At,oey's grass

prayers is hearGabove the screaming
OF the storm. And to this I also can
bear wIrsss. for I have seen the pass
ing of their shrouded forms behind the
blackness of the shattered shafts;
have heard their sweet. sad singing
above the wailing of the wind.
Thus for many ages have the dead
monks prayed that the men Of the town
Of seven towers may be forgiven. Thus,
for many ages yet shall they SO pray
till THE day come when Of their once
fair abbey not a single stone shall
stand upon its fellow; and in that day 1t
snail be known that the anger of God
against the men Of the town Of seven
towers has passed away; and in that
day the feet Of the waters shall move
back, and the town Of seven towers
shall stand again upon the dry land.

But such are of the blind, who see
| only with their eyes. For myself I see
the white-robed monks, and hear the
| chanting OF '.hsir mass for the souls OF
the sinful men OF the town Of seven
towers. For 1t has been said that when
an evil deed Is done, a prayer is born to
follow 1t through time INTO eternity
and plead for 1t. Thus is the whole
world clasped around with folded
hands both Of the dead and Of the liv-
ing. as with shield, lest the shafts OF
Gods anger should consume it.
Therefore. / know that the good
monks Of this nameless Abbey still are
praying that the sin of those they
loved may be forgiven. God grant
