The pupils of the West side
public school was given a fna
showing last night at the Assembly
hall to a house where standing

eager were our people to be enter
tanned by school declamations and
drills.
Prof. Owens was at the door, a
fee of ten cents being charged at
the door for admission. When the
Texarkana reporter profered his
dime, it was promptly refused and
he found place to sit on a back
bench, directly behind some thirty
rows of bench which secured to be
occupied by women only, who had
given their sky pieces additional
hight by adding many gay colored
flowers to its decorations. We after
ward secured a chair and moved up
the ailse where we could get a
better view of what transpired on
the stage.
There were no printed program

FEDERAL COURT,
Judge Williams Clears Up the Docket
and Adjourns Court TO Court
in Course.

The Federal court at this place,
lasted only one week, yet it cost
the United States Government
many dollars to hold it, and the
showing, from a pessimistic stand
point, whould make retrencher
howl himself hoarse at the seeming
squandering of public money
The civil docket contained two
cases only; one of them was a chan.

for want of jurisdiction-the other
one was settled amicably by all par
ties concerned.
The criminal docket was seem.
ingly heavy one, but when the
Judge heard testimony in cases
where he did not think punishment
should be meted out, or the testi-
mony weak, he would discharge
the prisoners; noticeably were the
cases against thirty-hve prisoners
whose names we do not give,
but who were indicted for violating
internal revenue laws, and when
the Judge heard the witnesses, he
would say, discharged"

We all know that any tired mus
Gle can be restored by rest. Your
stomach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is
its manner of saying, II am tired
give me a rest" To rest the stom-
ach you must do its work outside
the body
This is the Shakers method of
curing Indigestion, and Its success
is best attested by the fact that
these people are practically free
from what is without doubt the
most prevalent of all diseases. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains digested food, which is
promptly absorbed without taxing
the tired digestive organs, but it is
likewise an aid to the digestion of
other foods in the stomach. A 10
cent trial bottle will convince you
of its merit, and these you can OBJ
tain through all druggists.

No man can tell where the
Democratic party will stand two
months from now. One element is
dragging it on to the breakers OF
Republicanism, while the other is
steering it to the verge of Populism
either of which is destructive Of
individual liberty and fosters
paternalism that is repugnant to
patriotic instincts. When the worst
has come then we may get back to
the first principals of the party
which made the United States free
