Mr.. 4. Allison. Of the st. Louis
Chronicle, writes: Ever since 1
can remember l have been troubled
with constipation in it's severest
form. So acute. In fact, at times,
as to produce such dreadful
headaches that Notwithstanding
all the outdoor work afforded me
by my vocation, and the latitude 1t
allowed me TO test my pedestrian
abilities-which IS supposed to be
a successful manner OF displacing
constipation-I was very often
compelled 10 forego my pursuit OF
business Constipation with me
seemed to be hereditary. rather
than due to accidental causes
therefore much harder to relieve.
In my extremity. often resorted
TO most drastic measures. but
found no cure TO be permanent
In 1882. while connected with the
Times. Of IL Paso. Tex. Riplns
Tabules were brought 10 my notice,
and / used them with marked
success. Nowadays, l never suffer
from such severe cases OF
constipation, and the violent
headaches / formerly experienced
never worry me in the least
Sometimes. though. when l allow
myself 10 lapse, for a period. into
irregular habits, l bee me slightly
const?l ed, but by taking a few
OF the Tabules my bowels again
perform their functions In a highly
pleasing manner"

riage bells ringing On the Sapello.
Al the ranch Of s. Il. Barker, on
Wednesday eve last, II. E. Blake led
to the marriage altar, Miss Ida Barker.
A moment later I. L. Turner led for
ward Miss Louise Ground, they also
being made one, Rev. A. A. Layton
officiating. Thus q double wedding
contaminated. A most bountiful sup
per had been prepared by Mrs. Barker,
and about fifty persons were present
to partake thereof. All saw four Of
the parties present, were Of Texas
blood. Quite a number Of presents Of
utility ana value we're given the happy
couples-a broom was given each Of
the brides, with labels reading, "This
trifIng gift accept Of me, its use
would commend, in sunshine use the
busy part, 10 storms the other end.''
Sweet music, both instrumental and
vocal, helped to while away the time,
till the ushering In of another day.
Thus passed off a most happy event,
the recurrence Of which may not be
afar off.
Good, refreshing snow, and every
thing seems to be growing, even the
Mora grant, the line of which is now
being extended westward a mile OF
two, into township 10 and 20, and
serves a purpose like c~harity-to cover

To be kept thoroughly well posted
on the news Of such an eventsul year as
1896 promises to be, a person should
read the columns OF a live, wide-awake,
metropolitan paper, besides the
county or local newspaper. Now is
the proper time to begin a yearly sub
scription, which will cover the presi-
Dental campaign, the great speeches,
the November election and the out
come of all the wars and troubles
abroad. II intending subscribers will
heed a word of advice they will send
ST. to the Iwice a. Week Republic.
They will receive in return twice
every week for a year a copy
of the spicicst, newsiest and most en-
tertaining newspaper in the country.
The IVice a. Week Republic will make
a specially of giving all the political
news and speeches on both sides and
at the same time keeping up the very
entertaining departments it has always
contained.
A big inducement is offered to those
who become so interested that only o
daily metropolitan paper will meet
their wants. The Daily and Sunday
Republic has been reduced 10 only Sc a
year or So for six months.

THIS paper has not been able to see,
for several years. any good and sufi-
cient cause for the decision of business
men to positively refuse to take any
interest in the advancement of the gen.
eral interests Of our city, and such has
beer the case, owing to the general
distrust in business of any kind that
was not conducted upon a personal
basis, relying upon the single iDdivid-
ual, instead Of upon corporations. This
is not a true basis upon which to build
a city. Cities are built upon conf
dence had in each other, and also up
on the united efforts in different direc-
tions by different men taking some
stock in different enterprises. There
is only one way to boom the business
interests Of any city, and that is for
the business men to be willing to take
an interest in some portion or branch
Of business, where they do not have
the controlling interest. The business
man who does the most for the city in
which he lives is the man who has the
most confidence in his fellow men.
There are many enterprises which
could be thoroughly established in
Las Vegas at once, il the capitalists
and business men Of the city would
take a small financial interest In them
by subscribing for some Of the stock

LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE.

LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE.
Leaders are needed in all enterprises
sm)ng men. Some must set the OK.
ample, must 60 before and say to the
others, "Come on!" Happy, then, is
that city or that cause which has lead
ers worthy of the name and position
On the other hand. woe betice the place
or measure the van of whose move
ment is directed by men unsuited to
the position which they have assumed.
In proportion to the Importance Of the
enterprise is the necessity that the men
who essay to take it in charge should
be duly and truly prepared, worthy
and well qualified.
A leader should be a man who has
the cause at heart. This is true, but il
is not the whole truth. Zeal is a good
thing, but there is much zeal which is
not according to knowledge. Zeal
without discretion is like a bird which
has been deprived of its tail. 1t may
fly, and fly with force; but having
nothing to act as a rud-
der, it is more apt to fly in the
wrong than in the right direction. A
leader should have zeal and sound
judgment. Then he should be one for
whom the community e%ntertains re-
spect, by reason alike of the integrity
of his character, the strength of his
judgment and the propriety of his con
duct. Such a man lends to the
cause he advocates the respect
which is entertained for himself.
Unfortunately, the men who are best
qualified for leaders, have q natural
modesty and Interpretation which
prevent them from pushing themselves
to the front, and will not permit them
to wrestle with the rabble for prece-
dence and prominence. Then, too,
in every town there are men who are
almost the reverse in every particular
OF the character we have described.
Their advocacy of any cause at once
throws discredit upon it. Their ap-
proach to a man Of refinement Of feel
ing or gentillty of manners, is repul.
sive and disgusting. Yet on every pos
sible occasion, and upon the slightest
pretext, or without any pretext at all,
they rush to the front, assume the po-
sition of leaders in the cause, to the
disgust Of every ri%ght-thinking man
and to the invariable damage of the
matter in hand.
Such men should be set down upon.
Let them take a back seat and keep it.
Then can the people call to the front
such men as are truly qualified to lead
them in enterprises of Importance.
