In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Linment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name 'Dr. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
M. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle or right ana
justice as to undertake TO despoi him OF his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
''just as good as Dr.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide. right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1855.

THE TENAS ON a ROCK.

pCdoes and Came to Grief.

Newport, Il. l.. Sept. 1G.-The battle
ship Texas. which left the North Allan
tic squadron this afternoon for the pur-
pose of getting Il supply of tOrpedocs
here. struck a rock while coming into the
harbor at $50 O'Clock and is hard and
fast. She rests on the rocks amidships
and resisted all attempts made by the tug
Aqucduct to dislodgc her. The position
of the vessel is dangerous one. and
should Il storm set in it would 20 hard
with her. The place where the vessel
struck is almost directly opposite the
torpedo station. The tug Aqueduct ar
rived alongside the Texas within half
an hour after she struck and quickly got
Il line out. The warship. however.
proved too heavy for the tug to handle
and was apparently firmly fixed on the
rock. The tug was obliged to give up
the attempt to float the monster battle
ship tonight, but will make another at
tempt Il highwater ut 3 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Several tugs, and probably
the giant wrcckcr Right Arm. will assist
her.
Capt Glass. when seen tonight. refused
to be interviewed. He gave orders to
let no one come abroad. The department

had specially provided for favorable CON
sideration of bids from the gulf coast.
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. not
a single proposal came from either sec
ton OF the country. The northwest
coast, however. was well represented.
The bidding was very complicated. owing
to the fact that many bidders made COM
blnatlon proposals for from one to three
boats. the greatest number that can be
allotted to any builder. Some of the
proposals We're based on the department
plans and some on individual plans and
one which failed of consideration because
of lack of bond, was for an electrically
propelled craft. For these reasons it
will require much consideration by the
department to select the lowest and most
desirable bid and meanwhile it is not pos

department will proceed ut once TO con-
slider the bids. for under the act of CON
greSS awards must be made not later

Adjutant General Mabry has recently
had the United States war department

sessions at headquarters today. There
was Il clash between the plenary COM
mittee, headed by Chairman Il. II. X.
Green, and the campaign committee re-
Gently appointed by the plenary commit
tee. Chairman Green's associates with
plenary powers are John Grant of Sher-
man and c. w. Ogden of San Antonio.
Mr.. Ogden was unable to come to Dallas
at this time and gave his proxy to Hon
+. W. Terrell, also of San Antonio. and
cX-minister to Belgium under the Harri-
son administration. The clash came this
morning when Chairman Green an
nounced that the campaign committee
need not give itself any unnecessary
trouble concerning the appointment of
subcommittee.
The session was secret. There was
some objection raised to this. Members
of the campaign committee We're of the
opinion that they had been clothed with
sufficient power and authority to conduct
the business of a campaign regardless of
plenary committees. etc.
Chairman Green thought they were
merely acting in an advisory capacity.
In fact. Chairman Green said so. and
Chairman Green retired from the en-
gagement master of the situation and

PRESIDENT DIAZ SPEAKS.
His Address at the Opening of tn
Mexican Congress.

City of Mexico, Sept. 16.-The address
delivered this evening by President Diaz
on the opening of congress, referring to
diplomatic affairs with the United
States, is in part as follows:
ION the sixth of May last Il cOnven-
ton was concluded at Washington.
whereby the international water boun-
Diary commission between Mexico and the
United States was empowered to study
certain questions bearing on the distribu-
ton of the waters of the Rio Grandc
river.
THE water boundary commission has
settled two grave questions of disputed
territory arising from changes in the bed
of the Rio Grande. one relating to the
Chamisel tract. claimed by both COM
missioners on behalf of their govern
ments. and the other regarding the San
Elizario islet. which was awarded by
both commissions to Mexico"
Referring to the attack on the Nogales
customs house, the president says:
"MeXico's legation at Washington has
been instructed to draw the attention of
the department of state to the case. and
that as soon as the judicial investigation
now in progress at Sonora is completed
the extradition of the guilty parties will
be asked of the United States"
The president then goes on TO refer to
lue IcCcul attempt 10 HOlu II pdH-AIlpTl-
can congress in Mexico City to consider
the Monroe doctrine.
This idea originated with the govern
ment of Ecuador Though the con-
gress had dissolved after only few
meetings and without accomplishing any
thing it does not follow that its aims will
not some day be attained
The mining industry in Mexico had
made remarkable progress as is evil
denced not only by the large number of
grants, but by the returns of the exports
of the precious metals which. during the
first nine months of the fiscal year ended
June 80 last, amounted to S5O,S6S. 900
against S3S309.000 in the corresponding
period of the preceding year.
The most important part of the mes
sage relates to the financial situation in
Mexico, her cash revenue amounting the
last fiscal year to $50, 900. the largest
annual revenue yet recorded. and the
year closed on June so last with sur
plus of S4,500.000. The surplus is now
in excess of S6,0O0,O0O
