A NOVEL SUIT.
Wants IS 700 For Injuries Received From
q Bursting Bicycle Tire.

Wants IS, 700 For Injuries Received From
q Bursting Bicycle Tire.
A resident of Rochester is about to
commence a novel suit for damages in
the supreme court. He seeks to recover
S., 600 for injuries which he claims to
have received through the explosion Of
a bicycle tire, or, strictly speaking, the
forcible ejectment from the tire of a
plug which had been used to repair a
puncture and was not secure enough to
stand the pressure Of the ali.
The complainant was riding his wheel
behind another wheelman whose bicycle
was fitted with a single tube or hose
pipe tire, when suddenly he heard a
noise like the report of a pistol and felt
a stinging sensation in his left eye. He
dismounted, and at the same time the
rider in front of him was obliged to dis
mount on account Of the collapse Of n
of his tires. The apparent puncture was
in the exact spot where a puncture had
previously been received, bat the plug
which had stopped the leak was nowhere
to be found.
The injured optic grew rapidly worse,
and, although the missile which was
the cause Of the damage cannot be pro-
duced in court, the plaintiff thinks he
is warranted in charging his hart to
the innocent rider who was IN front Of
him.--EeW York World.

car was draped with Grape and was
laden with many floral tributes from
employees of the road, who were present
at the funeral in large Numbers. The
car moved in advance Of the cortege and
was rolled up to the gates OF the GENE

MISSIONARY MAsSACREs.

Bishop Thoburn's idea that the
strong arm of military authority
should take the so-called heather
nations by the throat and hold
them quiescent while the mission
aries got in their work, is hardly in
accordance with the statement of
his master, who said, "My king
dom is not Of this world, else would
my servants fight" The whole
trouble arises from the mistaken
idea Of one set OF religionists that
they must make the other set con.
form to their ideas. The whole
history OF foreign missionary oper-
ations is revelation Of the futility
Of the attempt to graft western
ideas on a pure orientalism. To
the Chinese and Hindoo
mind the effort of the Chris.
tians is to betray them into
doing those things that are con-
trary to the teachings of their own
gods and to the traditions Of their
ancestors, to which they adhere so
sacredly. All the massacres and
troubles that have arisen, from the
Indian mutiny down to the pres
emit, have come about in this way.
There is a gross misunderstanding
OF the mind and prejudice Of these
subjects Of missionary zeal, in this
misunderstanding there is an eff.
fort to enforce certain observances
or to induce a certain conduct,
which to these benighted peoples
is destructive of all favor from their
deities, exposing them to the most
dire distress and affliction. Then
come dissatisfaction, distrust, anger,
finally riot and blood once shed
wholesale massacre follows. 1t
is a mistaken notion for the gov.
eminent of this or any other
country to stand behind these ef-
forts to subjugate the religious
ideas of a free people, and compel
the acceptance Of ideas that are to
them an abomination. This thing
has passed bounds, and its results
| are seen in the wholesale killing
of American and European mis-.
sionaries. This killing is not justi-
Rad mr. ATTAIN ptad IN no hu ony
thing here stated, but 1t Is asserted
to be the natural and necessary and
inevitable result OF trying to revo.
lutionize the religious life Of peo-
pie from the outside and practi-
cally by force, as the arrangement
by which China was compelled to
open certain of her territory to mis-.
sionary operations was forced upon
her at the lannon's mouth.

Plaza, and three miles therefrom,
or six miles square," This seems
10 establish the fact that from
1874, at which date the king OF
spain made the original "Ejidos,"
to 1870, the corporate extent OF San
Antonio, was something under GO
square miles, and that at
this latter date, 1870, the corporate
limits were cut down to a square
each side Of which was six miles
long, the whole including 36 square
miles or about three fifths OF the
old limits. There has been no
change since that date, the limits
OF the city standing as they now
are for just % years. 1t is not for a
little "Home Paper" like the
LIGHT, to say how the st. Louis
Republic figures out an extension
OF the corporate limits in recent
years to embrace the outlying ad-
ditions, but If the Republic says it
is so, those of our people who al
ways swear by some foreign gods
while repudiating their own
household deities, will still con-
tend that the Republic is. right.
1t may be also a little confusing
to the ordinary observer to be told,
as we are by Republic, that the San
Antonio river rises in San Pedro
Springs, but this Is another Of
those new truths to the teachings
of which the San Antonis newspa-
per fraternity are not equal, re-
serving it for the superior wisdom
and the clearer observation Of the
foreign writer to make fancy do
do duty for fact, and Imagination
the faculties of ordinary
Still it may be per-
mitted the home writer Of this be-
nighted southwest to nationally en-
quire concerning the correctness
Of conclusion and statement in
matters really requiring close OBJ
and reflection, il in 80
plain a matter as this the Repub-
lie staff have banked their ball 30
far outside Of the string? tits also
in order to ask, if the foreign un.
truth is worth so much, what
would be a fair remuneration for
the truth in the mouth of a home
paper? No immediate answer is
required.

NEW DISCOVERY BY THE
SHAKRRa

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have stu lied the
cultivation of medicinal plants and sought
to extract from them their healing es-
sences. Their labor has not been spent in
vain. They have made discovery that
will prove Blessing to mankind 1t con-
sists OF cordial that causes immediate
relief in cases Of Indigestion. The lmpor-
lance OF this discovery will be apparent
when we realize that nearly nine -tenths
OF our sufferings are caused by dyspepsia
or indigestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble In some OF
its varie1 forms-sick headache, distress
after eating, pain and fullness In the chest
after eating, palpitation OF the heart, etc.,
are but symptoms of indigestion To re-
lleve these sufferlngs he's been the study
of the Shakers, and they have succeeded.
The reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial
has such an immediate and salutary ef-
feet Is that il causes the food eaten to be
digested,. for It is u1dtgested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial causes
the food to be digested before there is
time for 1t to ferment and sour on the
stomach. When the food is so digested it
gives strength and vigor to the feeble
body, makes one feel bright and cheerful,
and makes one gain In flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in
its action that the very first dose will
have perceptibly favorable result. 1t
gives immediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent supply
of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books,
and copy may be had for the asking. 1t
tells all about the Cordial as well as
Laxol, the new castor oil.

tive Cordial and see what it will do for

THE REPUBLICS BREAK.

The beauty and excellence OF the
work that is usually accomplished
when the writing up Of this city is
entrusted to outside parties,
whether for the foreign paper or
for a catch. as-catch-can pamphlet,
finds another Illustration in the
recent write up OF the st. Louis
Republic. The brilliant staff of
writers who burst upon the as
tonished vision OF this city in one
binding corruscation of brains and
~crayons, made some startling dis
coveries that have hitherto escaped
the notice Of the duller intellects
that plod along the even tenor OF
their undistinguished way in this
remote southwest. Among these
discoveries it may not be smiss to
note that this city "covers an area
OF SO square miles, the limits
having been extended in
recent years so as to
embrace the outlying settle
ments or additions, which had
grown into or out Of the old cor
poration." Inasmuch as the orig
iual grant for the location Of this
city comprised $4,000 acres and the
present limits comprize only three
fifths OF that quantity, it may pos.
sibly puzzle the common mind to
figure out an enlargement Of the
city limits to include the recent
additions, but small matter OF
this kind will not bother the
clearer brains of the Republic staff.
As a matter OF fact, the original
grant for this city was from the
king OF Spain, in 1874, and was a
very irregular tract, including
within its bounds little over fifty
nine square miles. This tract was
held by the city from the date OF
that gift unchanged for 136 years
BY act OF the Republic Of Texas,
approved December 14th, 1887, the
. corporate limits OF San Antonio
were declared to be "the bounds and
meets and within which the said cor
poration shall exercise lawful ju-
risdiction shall include and com.
prehend all that tract of land orig
inally granted to and composing
said city with its precincts" Sub
seq uent acts of legislature affirmed
this "Ejidos" as the corporate
holdings. The same language in
describing the corporate limits Of
the city is given in the incorporat-
ing acts of 1912, 1855, 1856, and
1850. In 1870 change was made,
and in the act Of the state legisla-
ture approved August 18th of that
wear Ii is enacted "That the bounds
and limits Of said city (San Anto-
nio) within which said corporation
shall have Jurisdiction, shall in
clude a square, of which the sides
shall be equi distant, measured
from what is now known as Main
