In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr..
T. A. Mcfarland, prominent
merchant of Live Oak, Suffer Co.,
CAL, was taken with very heavy
cold. The pains in his chest were
so severe that he had spasms and
was threatened with pneumonia.
His father gave him several large
doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough
and cured him. Mr.. Mcfarland
says whenever his children have

Weyler is trying to bring his
operations in Cuba a little nearer
to the line OF civilized warfare but
he mas been too slow about it, and
his proclamation has risen up like
swift witness against him.
Cleveland seems more anxious
to provide for the future Of his
duck shooting than to make his
calling and election sure for third
term. In this thing Grover acts
wisely.
England is turning the corner
like a little man and falling into
line to aid the United States to
come at correct conclusions as to
that Venezuelan boundary. 1t will
come right in the wash.
Sewer matters in this city are in
such a condition that almost any
one can parade an opinion without
being called down.

He May Learn.

Although San Antonio is known
as an educational center, there are
people who have lived here the
past quarter OF century who can
not to this day speak one word Of
the English language. This may
appear broad assertion, but it is
nevertheless true. The fact did
not seem remarkable until recent
ly, when a LIGHT reporter had &C.
casion to call on an old citizen for
an important item. The citizen
referred to is well known prop
erty owner, and when he was ap-
preached and addressed by the
scribe, he replied in his native
tongue that he could not speak
English, but understood a few
words. This was made plain to the
reporter by friend, who happened
to be there at the time, who could
speak both languages. This man,
the reporter learned, has lived here
thirty years or more.

The report of the Houston grand
jury is pertinent comment upon
the lawless manner in which the
government of that Bayou 'Baby'
lon is conducted. Police can give
nnfoo nation, pawn brokers in

and thefts multiplying and justice

good subject for Hogarth

F. Kalteyer & Son, c. Camp
bell and j. Clavin, druggists, San
Antonio, Texas, desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a
letter of Chas, M. Gutfeld, Of Reed
ley, Fresno Co., CAL, as they han
die the remedy referred to and
want their customers to know
what a splendid medicine it is:
at is with pleasure 1 tell you
that by one days use of Chamber
lain's Cough remedy l was relieved
of very severe cold. Ny head
was completely stopped up and L
could not sleep at night. L can
recommend this remedy" A cold
nearly always starts in the head
and afterward extends to the
throat and lungs. By using this
remedy freely as soon as the cold
has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from
extending to the lungs. tt

WILD WEST ACCIDENTS.
Billie Freeman Knocked Senseless at the

Billie Freeman Knocked Senseless at the
Springs-Girl Injured.
At the Wild West show at the
Springs yesterday, while steer
was being roped, Billie Freeman, a
spectator, was struck over the fore
head by the animals hoofs, as it
was, thrown,to the ground. Freeman
fell, unconscious, and doctor, who
was In the crowd, attended him. A
three-inch cash was cut over Free
mans left eye and the wound was
sewed up. The injured man was
taken to his home, No. 212 South
Concho street. Last Saturday q
steer jumped the fence at San Ped
70 park and ran over q little girl
on the street. The girl was, it is
said, not seriously hurt. Her name
could not be learned.
While no accident occurred at
the Jockey club wild west exhibit
ton, excitement prevailed there
for a time. One of the steers got
into the crowd, and the cowboys
had hard work in capturing 1t.
No one was hurt as the crowd scat
tered too quickly. One Of the In
dians was thrown from a wild
horse, but was not hurt. A steer
tore a negroes pants with his
horns, but the negro escaped I'M
injured.

1t is luxury to find one corpo-
ration that has received from the
city its privileges upon the streets,
acknowledging the right of the
city to go upon these streets thus
occupied for sewer purposes. 1t
would have been better in the
other case to have pushed the mat
ter and finished it. There is a
very strong feeling in San Antonio
that dogs should wag tails, and not
tails wag dogs.

There is neither piety nor princi-

statue to Pere Marquette being
erected on the national capital
grounds. Pere was an explorer
and as such and as nothing else is
entitled to recognition at the hands

igator's work heroically. 1t is a
very pessimistic view Of the case
that would strip him of his laurels
