Centuries ago people used to fear
what they called the pestilence.
"Black Death" was the most terri
BILE thing IN the world to them.
They feared it as people now fear
the cholera and yellow fever. And
yet there is a thing that causes
more misery and more deaths than
any OF these. 1t is so common that
nine-tenths of all the sickness in
the world is traceable to it. 1t is
merely that simple, common thing,
constipation. 1t makes people list
less, causes dizziness, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul
breath and distress after eating.
The little help needed is furnished
by DR.. Pierce's pellets. One pill is
gentle laxative and two a mild
cathartic. Once used, always in
favor. If you are careless enough
to let an unscrupulous druggist sell
you something on which he makes
more money, it is your own fault ii
you do not get well, Be sure and
get DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

WEST SIDE COUNCIL.

The West side Council was called
together last night by his Honor,
Mayor Hardin, for the purpose of
settling claim of $650.O0 held by
Mrs. Runnels, who had offered to
compromise the claim for $50O00
The council was fully informed of
the status of the case by City At
torny, Horace Vaughan, and when
the vote was taken, it was for a
settlement.
The voucher was ordered drawn
and the City Treasurer ordered to
pay the sum out of the improve
ment fund, the same to be borrow
ed therefrom.
A petition was read from thescit-
liens, asking that the ordinance
compelling property owners to lay
concrete walks on side streets, from
Brom Broad to Clinton north, and
from Broad to Front south, be made
imperative tor the time being.
This was not done, but the time
was extended four months in which
to complete the same.
Mr.. Fred Offenhauser appeared in
the interest of the citizens asking
that the efficient fire service, now
being maintained by the city, be
continued and not taken off, as re-
ports had often got out that it
would be done,
The council did not take any ac-
tion in this matter, and the fire
service will be continued for the
present.
County Judge, John King, ad-
dressed the council, and among 9th
er things touched upon, was that
of the Indebtedness of the city to
the county for the lot on which the
city hall is now built. Judge King
said he wanted the notes paid if the
city could possibly do so, but if
they could not, he was not disposed
to crowd them. In regard to maxi
ing the county pay for for the use
of the city Jail, he said he was ne
gotiating for the purchase of the
old Texarkana Produce building, on
State street, which the county
would fix up for a county building
and jail
The council voted to let the coun-
ty use the jail without cost until
after arrangements could be made.
Mayor Hardin said: 81 think the
city can pay off ohe of the notes
held by the county and | will pay
off the other and hold it until such
time as we can pay it without Grip
pling the city in money matters, of
which debts are contracted that
must be actually paid on time to
protect our credit"
The council then adjourned.

DOESN'T CHECK UP
General Weyler Finds a Very
Large Discrepancy in His
Army Roll.
Should Have Fifteen to Twenty
Thousand More Soldiers
Than He Has.
Whether They Have Gone Over
to the Enemy or Have Been
Killed a Question.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. ga special to a
local paper from New York, says dis
patch from Havana reports 10, 700 Span
ish soldiers missing in Cuba. The fact
has been communicated to the Madrid
government, and the search for their
whereabouts is going on day and night.
Official circles are in a state of alarm,
for Is, 900 men, with $4,000 rifles and
50O,0 900 cartridges, is an enormous item
to the Spanish army. The disappear
ance of the men will ultimately be
traced to either death in battle, the
number of which has been concealed
to hide Spanish losses, details to posi-
tions in various parts of the island, of
which no record has been kept, or de-
sertions to join the insurgents. The
Spanish records show that entire gar
risons have joined the rebels with their
arms, in every province in the island.
An order was issued by General Wey-
ler several days ago for report of the
number, position and condition of the
army. The responses to this, it is said,
have increased the confusion and there
are reports Now from reliable sources
that there are 10000 men, instead of
15, 900, to be accounted for.

A Quantity of Church Going Republicans
Want to Know About 1t.
New YORK, Feb 26.-A question has
arisen as to the religious convictions of
Speaker Reed. Major Mckinley, it is
known, is an active member of the
Methodist church, and is closely iden-
titled with the work of that church.
Governor Morton is an hpiscopalian.
Senator Allison is not communicate,
it is said, but when at home he is a reg

Second Presbyterian Church of Du-

Mr. Reed was educated at Bowdoin
college for the pulpit at the expense of
a Portland congregation of Unitarians.
Later in life, with high sense of
honor, when he found he could not
conscientiously fulfil the expectations
of his friends, he repaid the money ex-
pended on his education. Very little is
known as to his religious beliefs, but
he has at times been described as an
agnostic.
As presidential candidate Mr. Reed
will find it necessary before long to
make some declaration on this subject,
as his political opponents are already
making capital of his reported agnos-
ticiSm.
