Attempted Suicide.

There was an attempt at suicide
last evening. A woman who live
near Warren and Front streets, and
whose name could not be learned
had some words with her husband
who is said to occasionally indulge
in more than is good for him. and
who. at such times. according to re-
port. is not as gentle with his wife
as loving husband ought to be, and
in her desperation ran down to the
river and threw herself in. Fortu-
nately for her some stones in the
river cut her face and cooled off b er
ardor in the direction OF self de-
struction. She was nearly as anx-
ious to get out as she had been to
get in, and it is probable that there
will be fewer family jars in that
home for some time to come .-Dav.

is Gen. Flsgler's own idea, is one to
which he has given much thought

the location of q small arms plant.

as prevailed yesterday, the thought
did not present itself At the time
that an innocent discussion of re-
publican candidates would arouse
the irritability that 1t seems to
have. Justice to all, however,

A TRUE MISSIONARY.
Bishop McCabe Sings, breaches And
Writes Hymns-Will Visit

Writes Hymns-Will Visit
Us Often.
Bishop C. C. McCabe, of the NJ. E.
church, who is in the city, stopping
with State Republican League Presi-
dent Mr.. Sam l.. Hahn, preached to
large congregations at the Trinity M.
E. church at IL a. m. and p. m, and
at the blackberry Street M. E. church
at D. m. yesterday. At both services
in Trinity church that edifice was
crowded to it's very doors, chairs being
brought to use to seat the people in
the aisles and at the blackberry street
church the congregation was likewise
large.
The bishop is a fluent talker and
never lacks for expression, holding
his congregation spell bound through
out the length of his discourse. AS
a singer he has no peer in the coun-
try and for that quality has become
very famous.
Last nights discourse was an able
one and was devoted in a large part
to a description of missionary work
in India by the Methodist church.
Saturday afternoon the bishop paid
visit to the different missions and
will spend today sightseeing over the
city chaperoned by Mr.. Hahn. This
is his first visit to San Antonio and
he expresses himself as being highly
pleased with it and says he will al
ways be glad of an opportunity to pay
this city visit in his official capacity,
which he will frequently have the OPP
portunity of doing, being now the res
ident bishop of Texas, with his Episco-
pal residence at Fort Worth.
He is a personal friend of President
elect Mckinley and a true blue Repub-
lican, having served through the war
of the rebellion on the Union side, and
whenever he has occasion to mention
the G. A. r. his face beams with joy
and he grows very enthusiastic.
Bishop McCabe or the Chaplain"
as he is better known is a hymn wri-
ter of considerable renown and num-
Der of his compositions appear in the

age, So of which have been devoted to

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picioa attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
over1ows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them 70 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to Fl. g. Odds, Box

are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in.

The prescription is sent free, and nj
though some may wonder how Mr.
Olds can afford to give away his dis,
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and

know how you came to write him.

CAMPAIGN DYNAMITE.

For the Light.
If District Attorney Levy and
Judge Callaghan are displeased with
their present respective offices, why
don't they resign them before asking
for further honors? Their present
policy looks n little hoggish, TO say
the least.
Mr.. Levy has been a resident of San
Antonio for six years, of which time
he has held public office for four
ceeding years. Surely, that should
be sufficient to crafty the cupidity of
any man who did not want the earth
and the fullness thereof.
The platform of Mr.. Levy begins
with. I'VE, citizens and taxpayer" of
the city of San Antonio, in convention
assembled. GeclGre." etc. And yet.
though a resident of San Antonio COR
six years and an office-holder for four
years. Has he ever paid a cent Of
taxes to the city2 How is that for
sublimated gall?
Campaign headquarters in and
about the Menger bar wear n lively
appearance. But the result will be
decided at the polls, not at the bar
Thoughtful citizens should consider
well this question. Why do Mr.. Levy
and Judge Callaghan desire 10 give
up the Office which pays them $4,000
