The boxing gloves used were soft
exhibition gloves, weighing eight
ounces, and could possibly result
in no damage.
"Sport Ernest" is deserving of
credit for his efforts in getting up
entertainments of this kind, for
they are always well attended and
productive of first-class amuse-
ment.

They Talked at Comfort.

To the Daily LIGHT.
Comfort, Texas, Oct. 22.-The
Honorable Geo. HI. Noonan and
Judge Q. w. Ogden arrived here yes
terday from fredericksburg en-
route for San Antonio. The gentle
men made a short but telling talk
to an audience at Holeksmp's hall.
On account of the notice bel ng so
short, there were not very many
people present. Among them were
some Of our leading "Pop" orators.
Judge Noonan made a short but
sensible talk mentioning facts that
were indisputable and showing the
fallacy of the free coinage of silver
and the disastrous effect that
would be sure to follow save to
Mr.. Bryan and his supporters,
viz: the silver mine owners.
Judge Ogden then followed the
honorable gentleman with a most
severe but true talk showing the
absurdity of a newly fledged party
daring or presuming to introduce
system of coinage that the most
brilliant brains had already tried
and found it wouldn't do. The
gentleman then proceeded to give
an account of how the Honorable
G. II. Noonan had for nearly forty
years worn the "ermine" and laid
down as spotless as when he first
was elected. He advised people to
stay with the man who had filled
his capacity as District judge for
thirty-three years with honesty
and integrity, netting out justice
to all and also suggested that
while crossing stream was bad
place to change horses.

Col. S. W. John,

In this issue of the State Herald ap-
pears the formal announcement of Col.
Sam Will John as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for the legis-
lature. Colonel John publishes also this
morning a long list of the names of
prominent gentlemen of the county call
ing upon him to enter the race.
1t would be useless expenditure of
time and space for us to enter into any
thing like an Introduction of Colonel John
to the people of this county. They al
ready know him well, and they know
him favorably. He has served this
county in the capacity of representative
and has record of which any man might
justly feel proud, and with this our peo-
pie are familiar
Colonel John is a man of ability and
force of character. He is a man of con-
victions, and no man need ever have
cause to doubt where he stanG> on any
question. He Is open and frank-a pol
ished Christian gentleman-and has hosts
of friends who will push his candidacy,
and they confidently believe he will sue
coed in securing the nomination.

sentative of the Sixth Alabama district.
Old Father Palmer, senator from Illi-
nois, said a good thing to a newspaper
man in Washington the other day. 1t
was:
1.-THE congress of the United States
finds 1t an easy matter to attend to the
affairs of other nations, but has shown
itself utterly incompetent to deal with
our domestic affairs. The grave ques-
tions of a deficiency in the public reve-
nues and a crippled currency are press
ing on us for solution, and we acknowl-
edge our inability to master them. But
we reach out and settle the affairs of
other governments with ease and dis
patch"
1t will be observed that the gray mat
ter in that gray head is still doing bus
mess at the old stand. Senator Palmer
is an administration supporter. He knows
very we'll that the revenues and the cur
rency are in the same bad and crippled
state that they were when congress was
doing what the administration asked,
which it did when the repeal of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
was called for in 1898. The deficiency in
the revenues has accumulated largely
since that time, while maintaining 1.-The
present standard of value" has consisted
in the unprecedented policy of borrowing
money to gain credit! WAT.

Few Know the Value of Pure Air.

DR.. Kerr, California Block, Denver, Col
A man will get used to anything, no
matter how dangerous 1t is. There's not
one in ten who even gives a thought to
his gas burners, and yet they are liable to
cause most serious trouble to his family's
health, and may even threaten life. Any
open flame is bad thing to have in
human habitation 1t is consuming air,
and that is what we primarily exist upon.
As the saying is, ''it makes the air bad"
Those who breathe it say 1t makes them
sleepy Take the ordinary country
church or public hall, where gas jets fare
away and people are gathered together
pretty thick. Everybody begins to nod
in no time, and we laugh about 1t and
lay 1t to the speaker and his prosy style.
1t isn't his fault at all. Those sleepers
are really dying. The process will doubt
less be interrupted, but If 1t shouldn't be
the entire congregation would cease to
exist. It's simply the same thing as when
the rustic blows out the gas in his hotel
burn gas we must be careful and hedge
in the danger with every precaution we
can.
But there are some phases it is almost
impossible to guard against. With the
high pressure the gas companies put on
it is almost inevitable that there must
be considerable escaping gas. This gas,
as made In Denver, contains carbon mon
oxide. and that is a deadly poison. In
deed, there are many physicians that
state that to this much of the city's diph-
iberia can be traced. The best way Is to
do as do and use the incandescent cleo
trio light. 1t takes absolutely nothing
from the air.

GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY.
What the Wonderful New Invention May Show
Regarding Things We Already
Know.

ut is an astounding discoyery-one of
the most marvellous of the present age!"
1t was in these words that an eminent
scientist lately referred to the new and
wonderful invention in photography
which everybody is discussing. This
great invention, as most people are
aware, enables photographers to take
pictures of objects completely hidden
from the sight. In recent experiment
for instance, a portrait of a man was Sc
cured although he was separated from
the photographer by three-inch parti-
ton. In another case, picture was OBJ
tanned of all the bones, muscles, blood
vessels and internal organs in mans
body.
In speaking of this wonderful diseov-
cry a well known New York physician
recently said: IF thousands of people
who are walking The streets today and
attending to business could only see a
photograph of their internal organs they
would be filled with alarm and dread.
They would see their liver and kidneys
clogged with impurities and their blood
filed with deadly secretions which poison
the whole system They would see these
delicate organs slowly but surely giving
way under this corroding poisoning in
fiuence. Oh, what an effect such pic
ture would have"
The doctor is perfectly right, but at the
pie who need no photograph to tell them
that there is something wrong with their
health. They know that they do not feel
as we'll as they ought to feel. They com
plain of tired feelings, nervousness. head
aches, backaches, stomach troubles con-
stipation and dull, heavy sensations.
They feel miserable, but do not know
why they suffer. 1t is only the skilled
physician who knows that these symp-
toms are all caused by the liver and kid
neys being out of order. When these
great organs of the body fail to act prop
erly the health speedily breaks down,
1t was a knowledge of this important
fact that led to one of the greatest dis
coveries of modern times. For long
years the brightest men in the medical
profession sought for remedy when
would cure all these arrangements of the
liver and kidneys, and at last they sue
ceeded in finding it, This great remedy,
which has proved a blessing to thou
sands is Warmers Safe Cure, remedy
that today is known and honored all over
the world. No other remedy has ever
equaled it for making weak, rundown
people feel strong and well. 1t is uni
versally admitted to be the safest and
best remedy for curing every form OF
liver and kidney disease. 1t puts an end
to stomach troubles, purifies and enriches
the blood and restores lost vitality.
This great Safe Cure is not an expert
ment 1t has been in use for over tWen-
ty years and has been the means OF saw
ing millions of lives. 1t Is the only rem
edy prescribed by the worlds leading
physicians. No other remedy compares
with it for building up the system and
imparting new life to every part OF the
