The City Lariot Too Long.

Editor Daily LIGHT: Sir-I see
an article in the Sunday LIGHT Of
April Goth headed "Will Cause
Them Loss" 1 want to make the
following corrections. The petition
ers of the Sixth ward have never
attempted to interfere with the
pound limits on Dignowity hill or
their costly residences or beautiful
flowers, it being in another part Of
the ward.
The article says: "The petition
for the curtsilment of the limits is
signed by a large number OF peo-
pie, but it is said most Of them are
soldiers and not citizens or tax
payers" Now, how much OF that
assertion is true? All told, four
soldiers signed the petition, two of
them 1 know personally, and l
know they own real estate, and are
tax payers; one of the others, /
cannot recollect his name, but was
told at the time that he was a tax
payer.
The article further reads, "one
of the names signed is that OF a
dead man, the late Corporal Park
hurst, accidentally killed on San
Jacinto Day." This proves beyond
a doubt that the old saying is true,
"that drowning man will grab at
a straw" The author of the above
article knows that the petition re-
ferred to was read in the city coun-
Gil on Monday, the 10th OF April,
and Parkhurst was killed on the
21st of April, San Jacinto Day.
AS to his being citizen l will
leave that to the reading public,
who has read upon the case, to Judge
for themselves. In conclusion l
will state that the people OF the
Sixth ward are not asking equal
privileges with any other ward in
the city in regard to stock limits.
In some of the wards the cows are
allowed to run loose almost in a
stones throw OF the city hall,
while we only ask that our cows
may run loose in the chap
paral thickets with the chapparal
cocks and jack rabbits, where they
will not get frightened at the rat
thing of the city's pick and shovel
or cart, and not get run over by
the city fire engine, hose cart or
hook and ladder wagon, but the
city lariat reaches all over the
chapparal tickets in the Sixth
ward, and we want a port of it cut
off. 1 wrote the petition and got
the signers to same.

OUR LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
They are an Honor to American Manhood
and to American Citizenship,

They are an Honor to American Manhood
and to American Citizenship.
When this system OF the con-
slant guarding Of bridges is
adopted on all railroads as it has
been on many Of the leading ones
the daring heroes of romance who
risk their lives to keep trians
from rushing to destruction, where
bridges or trestles have fallen,
will find their occupation gone.
AS it is, the fiction writer's have
probably been unduly prodigal in
the creation OF such characters.
So, too, have taken liberties with
the engineers who drive the To-
comotives. They are usually repre-
sented as bluff, superstitious per-
sons who consult this omen and
that, and in moments of extreme
danger pull open the throttle
and put their trust in Providence.
AS a matter Of fact, railway engi-
neers are merely painstaking men
without affectation and without
pretense, who need so constantly
to have their wits about them that
they have no time for supersti-
tions or melodramatic posings.
They have definite duties to per-
form of a hazardous nature, and
these duties are lived up to on 49,
600 miles of railroad in the United
States with a single-minded fideli-
ty which warrants us in believing
that every railway engineer will
do what is right for him to do no
matter what the emergency, no
matter what the cost to himself.
They are certainly heroic men,
but as free from sentimental va
porings as any men in the world.
1t is a pleasure to correct popu-
lar misrepresentation in regard to
class of men who are an honor
to American manhood and Amer
lean citizenship.-John Gilmer

nal.

BILIOUS PILLIOUSNEss.
Why Some Bilious People Take Pills and
Others Don't.

BiliousneSs Is much misunderstood.
So many people have it, that it's worth
understanding, the more so as II is easy
enough, II yoC begin right.
Liver secrets a fluid called bile. Bile
goes to the intestines, where IL performs
important work in digestion. Sometimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This
is biliousness.
"Billiousness" is the idea that by tax
ing a pill which stimulates the liver, we
may cure biliousness. 1t is only an idea.
Pill-taking relieves but does not cure 1t.
The cure can only come through the
stomach.
Why?
BilIousness IS caused by the poison OF
undigested food, irritating the liver. To
cure biliOuSneSS, these poisOns must be
got out of the stomach. The only sure
way to do this is with Shaker Digestive
Cordial
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant,
tonic aid to digestion, prepared from
roots, herbs and wine by the Shakers OF
Mount Lebanon. 1t helps the stomach
to digest its food, and sweeps out OF the
system all dangerous poiSons.
In this way 1t cures billouSnesS, head
ache, nausea, dizziness, bad taste. stom-
achache, fever, flatulence, constipation,
loss Of appetite, etc, when other RENE
dies only give temporary relief.

Death Sentence Against the Transvaal Re-
formers COMMITTED.

formers COMMITTED.
CAPETOwN, April 29.-TCopy-
righted 1896 by the Associated
Press. Further advices received
from Pretoria say: A few minutes
after the leading members of the
johannesburg reform committee
were sentenced to death yesterday,
the remaining fifty-nine prisoners,
including Bsrnato, nephew of Bar
ney Barnato, Mr.. Pettleheim,
Turkish consul and former attor-
ney general of Cape Colony, J. w.
Lofard and Capt. Mein, j. S. Cur

King and Mr.. Bingham, all Ameri-
cans, were sentenced to two years
imprisonment, three years Danish
ment and to pay a fine of 1000
pounds, in default of which they
will undergo another years i'm
prisonment.
The news Of the sentences was re-
ceived with the greatest amaze
ment at johannesburg and even at
Pretoria and caused the greatest
excitement everywhere, even
though it was generally under
stood the four men sentenced to
death would not be executed. The
attitude OF the British population
was one Of angry resentment; the
Beers were sullenly defiant. A
dispatch from Pretoria this morn
ing from an official source an
nounced that the sentence Of death
had, indeed, been committed, and
later in the day another dispatch
from Pretoria announced that DR.
VIM. j. Leyds, secretary of state
for the Transvalls, has informed
Sir j. A. Dewitt, British agent al
Pretoria, that it had not yet been
decided what punishment would
be imposed upon the reform com
mittee prisoner in place OF the
death sentence, and he also init
mated that the executive council
was reconsidering the sentence:
imposed upon all other prisoners
LONDON, April 29.-An official

"Dr. w. S. Leyds, secretary oil
state for the Transvaal, has just
told me that sentence Of death had
been taken off the prisoners, Ham

It is estimated that it will cost the
railways of the United States about
$50, 900, 600 to comply with the pro-
visions of the federal statute requiring
them to equip their trains with safety
appliances. The law affects only those
railroads which are engaged in inter-
state commerce, but this classification,
of course, includes all the important
lines in the country. While the cost
of compliance with this act will be
enormous the railroads will find 8
great element Of compensation in re,
duced damages for accidents. The
frightful loss of life and the enormous
number of persons who are crippled il

this act. The record is terrible in.
deed. From 1888 to 1894 over
10000 railway employees in this coun-
try were killed in the discharge Of
their duty, and the number OF those
crippled and injured reached 172, 600.
While the safety equipment law does
not go into effect until January
1898 many of the railroads Of the
country have already in large measure
complied with it's provisions. The Ell
feet of increased use Of safety apph

1898 the number Of employees killed
by railroads was 2,727 and in 189.

Says the st Louis Globe Democrat:
'The popular impotence Of the laws
delay is strongly emphasized by the
fact that in the last ten years the
number of lynchings and mob execu-
tions has considerably exceeded that
OF the legal hangings, while both
have fallen so far below the number
of homicides as to suggest that still a
vast number of guilty men escape q
fate they richly deserve. From Janu-
airy l, 1892, to the end of 1894, there
we're in this country 40, 934 murders,
or homicides, GIT legal executions and
1,495 lynchings, only 2,412 murders
ont of 40, 934 coming to justice. The
showing is calculated to appal even
conservative men, since it proves NOT
only increasing disregard for human
life, but increasing reluctance to adj
minister stern justice to the worst form
of crime"
