perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even If they are
urged on you as Just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

this long.

every subscriber have the right 70
vote who shall be manager. Then at
ter election of officers is over, the sub.

ed in bank so that 1t is no burden
for few TO foot the bills.
There is another important point
regarding the judges. They must be
experts in every branch, who have
nothing on exhibition.
"On opening day there should be a
long street parade of all the manufac-
tories and business houses, etc., and
every employer should take the lead
Of his employees and appear in the
parade.
"A most important point, too, in the
success of the undertaking is to have
plenty of cool drinking water on the
grounds and other accommodations
free of charge.
II hope some citizen will call a meet
ing where everybody is entitled to
express himself. Our sewer system
is now complete, but to make the con-
nections will cost, / am Informed,
something like half a million dollars,
so let us all pull together TO draw
as much more capital to our city by
every fair means possible, and show
the world our resources"

A CASE OF THEFT.

Alderman Mahncke, chairman of the
parks committee of the city council, a
few days ago called on Street Commits
sioner Micklejohn and boldly de-
manded the return of a mule that he
declared had been stolen from the
parks department and was being used
in the streets department in me
sweeper. Mr.. Micklejohn denied the
soft impeachment stoutly after he had
taken a thorough eye measurement of
the AMPLE proportions of his accusers
and told him if he had any sort of a
mule in his department whether petri-
fed or vivified Mr.. Mahncke should
surely have it at his earliest applica-
ton.

MEMORY OF Ii. l.. BARNARD.

ISOLATION Yesterday.

Resolutions Adopted by the Bar As
ISOLATION Yesterday.
The members of the San Antonio
Bar association met in the Forty-ffth
District courtroom yesterday to hear
the report of the committee appoint
ed by Judge j. L. Camp, as instruc-
ted at a meeting on August Z, to draft
resolutions ON the death of the late
Hon. II. Z. Barnard. The committee
reported as follows:
Hon. j. l.. Camp, chairman:
Your committee beg leave to report
as follows:
On the 10th day of July, 1897, our as
sociate, friend and brother lawyer, II.
E. Barnard, was called from US TO
face the mystery of death. He had
attained an honorable and lofty po-
sltion in his profession, he had filed
in full measure his duties as a citizen,
and by his many social qualities had
endeared himself to his associates and
friends.
In order that we may express the es-
TEEN in which we held him, as a law
yer, the honor due him as a citizen
and the affection borne him as
friend, be it,
Resolved by his fellow members of
the Bar of San Antonio, that as law
yer he was an ornament to his profess
sion, faithful to his clients, diligent
in his labors, sincere in his opinions,
fair and honorable alike to court, jury
and adversary in the trial of his cases.
As a citizen he was fearless in the
performance of his duties, Independent
in the expression Of his views on all
subjects affecting his people, earnest
in his advocacy of right and deEun-
citation of wrong. As friend he was
faithful and true, generous and open
handed and won and held the friend
ship of all who knew him socially.
Resolved, that expressing our regret
at his loss, we extend to his family
our sincere sympathy in their greater
affection.
Resolved. further, That a copy Of
these resolutions be presented TO the
Supreme court of this state by ThOs.

NATURAL LONELINESS.
A BEAUTIFUL RESORT ROBBED OF
ITS BEAUTY.
Alamo Heights Once Charming Attractions
Have Vanished-Nature's Handi-
Work Below the City.

Alamo Heights, or the head of the
river, as it is familiarity known, which
was once such a popular and beauti-
full spot, about two years ago, is like
the maiden past twenty, beginning to
fade, not only beginning, but already
faded. This resort, with its beautiful
cliffs, green shrubbery, sparkling
springs, and babbling streams, was
once an ideal spot Of Natures best
creation, but in the past year it has
faded fast, to the regret of lovers of
nature.
The once beautifully kept roads
and paths are grown up in weeds, the
sparkling, Ibubbling springs have
dried up, the exquisite maiden hair
ferns have vanished, the once beauti-
fully green water lilies are now mass
es of ugly, half green, half withered
leaves, the beautiful OlmoS lake, where
the gay young folks were wont to
spend the pleasant moments gliding
over the smooth, CLASSY surface of the
water in boats, is almost dried up, and
last but not least, the boats which glad
dened so many hearts, have either
been moved away or broken so as to
be unfit for service, two of them lying
yet partly in the mud and water too
badly demolished to be of any future
service. The wharf and boathouse
have also suffered from acts of van
dalism and there is scarcely a vestige
of the old time loneliness visible, the
only naturally appearing objects be
ing the hills and the high cliffs, which
can hardly be defaced so as to become
unacceptable, by mans hand, any
how.
All this devastation is attributable,
so knowing ones say, to the sinking of
artesian wells over the city, these ar
tificial springs drawing the water
away from the natural ones, thus, of
course, rendering them useless as
stream supplyers. This theory is a
very feasible one too, as the springs
Immediately ceased to send forth their
gurgling waters just about the time
the city was being punctured with
so many of these wells which, leech
like, extract all the water from the
earth's natural veins.
This is the theory advanced for the
cause of the drying up of our beauti
full river also.

One of the most beautiful spots
where nature has bestowed her handi-
work about this city is on the river
about six miles below the city at
Berg's mill Crossing the bridge one
can look to the south down the river
and behold a beautiful island in the
centre of the river which washes its
banks on both sides in its mad canter
on to the gulf, both banks being high
and frfnged with beautiful weeping
willows, with the belfry of that an
cient relic of fuedal days, San Juan
mission, peeping through the green
boughs.
On the north side looking up the
river the scene is even more beauti-
full and will rival any in America.
Here about seventy-five yards above
the bridge, the river makes sudden
turn and comes straight down, the
beautifully overhanging willows CIV
ing it an appearance of emerging from
out the ground at their feet.
The banks are high on both sides and
also exquisitely lined with willows, the
sparkling water, flowing over a natur-
al dam which as it runs over throws
the spray into the air in many beauti-
full and fantastic shapes.
The scene is indeed a magic one and
enough to inspire the heart of any
lover of natures beautiful works.

LIEUT.. O'BRIEN A WITNESS.
He Testified Before a CourtmartinI
Against John A. Logan, .Jr.


From the Atlanta (Ga) Constitution.
Lieut.. Mike OBrien, who has figured
so conspicuously in the court-martial pro-
ceedings at Fort Mcpherson, figured in a
leading way in a very famous court-mar-
tial before, and the story is we'll worth
while telling now, in view OF the fact that
the man who was court-martlaled is be-
fore the nation in very interesting role
The man who was ourt-martialed was
John A. Logan. Jr., who was at that time
a cadet at West Point O'Brien was
there at the same time as a cadet Lo-
gan, IL seems, was not as popular as some
Of the cadets. He was court-martialed on
a charge Of telling an untruth, the charge
being pressed by Gen. Wesley Merritt
who was at that time superintendent Of
the military academy at West Point
Gen. Merritt showed himself to be the
true soldier by insisting upon a trial Of the
A. Logan was candidate for Vice Pres
ident, and the most tremendous political
influences In the country were brought to
bear upon him to prevail upon him to
dismiss the charges.
When the court-martial convened Cadet
Mike O'Brien, now Lieut.. O'Brlen OF Fort
Mcpherson. was the main witness He
was said to have heard the remark which
Logan had denied that he had made.
The case hinged upon the testimony
which O'Brien gave
Logan was acquitted Of. the charge.
