Yesterdays vote was a Mckinley,

votes to $40 for Bryan. He has a ma

Importance and their momentous ma

The colonists realized clearly what
that declaration meant. They knew
that IL signified war with the second
strongest nation in Europa power
that could destroy their commerce and
capture their seaports. They were not
certain of getting any foreign aid and
felt they might have TO rely exclusively

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
This Is Aimed at Our Business Men
and Is a Good Thing if Pushed

We had a talk with Que of our
largest shippers to day, and he
said: ''Do you know that if the
Texarkana merchants would get
together, and work through their
Board of Trade. they could get
some dandy low rates from the
Texarkana & Fort Smith Railroad
from Shreveport to this placer
Locally, the road can and will,
make very low rates if approached
by men who intimate that they will
do all of their shipping over this
road, when compatible The rates
to Shreveport by uver and rail are
very low, and Texarkana has now
the chance to enjoy some of these
low rates, If the citizens only know
how to get on the winning side. Let
us make an effort, and see what can
be done.

Washington. Apri. 23-The r-
kausas compromise bill together
with the Nelkelj0a amendment was
this morning reported by he House
Public Lands Committee
While one or two Republicans
were disposed TO vote with NJ Nc
Rae. they cou'j'not withstand the
party lash and followed the leader
ship of NriseIiuan. Two Republican
members of the committee are
bitterly opposed TO the compromise
in any form. and when NJ McRae'>
amendment was offered thev voted
for it; knowing that if % was adopt
ed the bill would be more o5u .Xi ID
to the Republicans OF the House
and for that reason the chauc= for
its final passage lrs,rned When
Mr. McRae's amendment was de-
feated and Mr. Meikrljohu's pre-
sented they were the only two who
voted against it, The Meikeiohn
amendment confirms the title OF
the land held by the railroad to
them and is in fact a recognition by
the committee of the whole con
trntion and controyersy-of of its re-
presentatiyes.
The reported bill as amended
carries with it more probability of
passing the House as it will have
the active support of Mr. Nickel
John and his followers.
1t is thought by some Of the
Democratic leaders that even if the
bill had been reported either in it's
original form or with the Clarke
McRae amendment, it would have
been bitterly opposed by not only
most Republicans of the committee,
but d great majority Of Republicans
in the House. The state is given
one year to approve the conditions Of

is. will the Governor accept it.

The man who eats because he is
hungry is, thus far, on a level with
the brutes. The man who stops
eating the moment his hunger is
appeased is wise man. Nature
needs no more food than she calls
for. Continued excess brings about
indigestion or dyspepsia, with loss
of flesh, strength, sleep, ambition
and mental powers; and an accumu
lation of aches, pains, and many
dangerous local mdladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some ar
tificially digested food which can
also digest other foods. That is to
say, we must use the Shaker Di
