Consumption is a disease caused by
impurity of the blood, and the first
thing to be done in Its treatment is to
make the blood pure, rich and whole
some. That is half the battle. The
other half is the impregnation of the
blood with cleansing, healing, invigo-
rating medicines. DIR. PIerces Golden
Medical Discovery does both. 1t first
puts the whole digestive system into
order, rids it of all impurities, and from
the vantage ground SO gained, reaches
out to every fiber of the body and re-
stores all to perfect vigor. 1t cures
many diseases, simply because many
diseases spring from set of common
causes. The same disorder may lead
to different symptoms in different peo-
pie. What might be only a little in
digestion in one person, may combine
with slight cold in another and result
in consumption. A treatment that
tones up the whole system is always
the safest. A medicine that is good
for the general health is pretty sure to
cure ordinary diseases.

BLACK JACK.
Some Doubt as to his Identity But
Still Held.

| Capt A. P. Fredericks, postoffice
| inspector, say the man who has given
his name as Black Jack Mcdonald got
thoroughly tangled in his facts regard
| ing Arizona and New Mexico where he
v as the day the robberies occurred,
and could give no account of himself
which leads the inspector to believe
tn at if the man held by the authorities
is not the famous Black Jack, he was
undoubtedly connected with the recent
stage, train and postoffice robberies in
southern New Mexico.
Captain Fredericks also states that
Butler, one of the White Oaks stage
drivers, who was held up, was ordered
to Ell Paso, and on meeting the man in
Jail, addressed him as "Hellow, there,
jack" which was fully recognized.
Butler says he could not be mistaken,
as the man he recognized in the Ell
Paso Jail is undoubtedly the same fell
low that pulled a cooked revolver and
told him: "Hold up your hands"
He may not be the famous BLACK
Jack" known as Jack Williams, but
he was in the gang Of robbers. He is
supposed to be one of the gang OF
marauders, commonly called the High
Five" OF this mum Der two have been
killed and two are still at large, If
BLACK Jack" turns out to be the right
man.
Deputy Marshal George Major will
bring Black Jack from Ell Paso to Sill
yer City, where he will turn him over
to U. S. Marshal Loomis.

New Factories.

81. J. Hagermap has already under
consideration plans which will result
in an 800 ton sugar beet factory being
built in the Pecos valley. There is nc
reason why large factories should not,
in the near future, be built in the Els.
pamela valley, near Albuquerque, in
the Rio Grande valley, in Taos county,
in fact in many other localities.
Wherever there is water enough tC
irrigate 5000 or 5000 acres of land
there should be factory, provided the
precaution is taken before hand to test
the experiment of raising beets and
ascertaining the percentage of sugar
in them. The ultim tie benefit to the
farmers and business men in any local
itg is worth all the trou ole in making
these experiments" says Mr.. Faulk-

The MOngOOse War in Jamaica

One of the greatest sufferers from
imported pests during the last quarter
of century has been Jamaica. To
rid the island of the black and brown
rats that were destroying the sugar
cane and other crops, the mongoose
was imported, the mongoose multiplied
with frightful rapidity, destroying the
rats, then preying upon poultry and
even pigs, lambs and puppies, and ap-
parently exterminating the birds, with
the harmless lizards and SNAKES that
trou bl esome insects. It devoured the
crops of fruit and vegetables, and even
rivaled the former ravages of the rat
in its destruction of sugar cane. With
the disappearance of reptiles the ticks
increased alarmingly, not only swarm
ing on cattle but becoming a plague to
the human race, and these with the
mongoose have long held the field in
the strange battle for supre macy. A
new phase in the struggle is now re-
ported by Prof. j. E. Duerdon. curator
of the museum of Jamaica. In recent
months the mongoose has been notice.
ably fewer in numbers, and those
caught have been found to be suffering
from attacks of the ticks. Species of
birds and reptiles supposed to have
been exterminated have reappeared
The most striking change seems to be
recently supposed extinct but snakes
are more numerous, game is increasing.
poultry and domestic animals are
molested less often, rats are increas-
ing in the cane. and ticks are diminish
ing. The dynasty of the mongoose is
waning, the cause, however, being I'M
known.

Ash Wednesday.

Office aud sermon were given. During

and short reading daily at 30 p. m.
church has the following anent the
first day of Lent that is profitable
reading: To-day we enter the portals
of another Lent, and once again our
thoughts are directed to the solemn
| lessons the holy season reads for our
spiritual advancement. And what are
those lessons? AS Christ retired from
the world to pray and fast in the soil
tude of the wilderness, so ought we to
| retire from the excitement of the
| worlds pleasures, that we may by
abstinence and prayer draw the nearer
TO him from whom we have gone so
far astray during the past year. AS
he subdued the bodily to the spiritual
nature by DESERVING the scenes of COM
mon temptation, SO ought we to shun
those things which tend TO crafty only
the desires of the natural man, AS he,
even while in communion with the
father in heaven, was tempted of the
devil, so ought we to watch as we'll as
pray that we may not fall victims to
emptation-'Our adversary, the devil,
as roaring lion, walketb about, seek
ing whom he may devOur,' and there
is no place, however sacred, he may
not enter: no time, however solemn, he
may not come; indeed, the nearer one
approaches the perfection of Jesus the
more temptations beset his way. So
finally, ought we to be steadfast. even
as he is steadfast, in our refusal to give
ear to alluring invitations to the wrong.
The spirit of Christ, being with US, will
ena bic every one to conquer, as he him
self conquered, if we but exert our own
will, and respond to such Invitations
always spontaneously and without re-
serve: Get thee behind me, Satan
0, let US not abuse the privileges this
b essed season affords, but come re-
penting in our solemn litany."
The day was also suitably observed
in the Catholic churches, on both sides
of the river.

Enforcing Sunday Law

The onfect1oners' stores were all
closed at Beeville, Texas, last Sunday
for the first time since Beeville has
been town. The last grand jury
which was in session two weeks ago
found bills against all of them for the
sale OF fruit, cigars, etc, on Sunday
The drug stores would not sell any
cigars for the past Sunday or two for
fear of being indicted, but since the de.
cision of the test case in Waco las,
week in which the judge decided that
druggists had a right to sell anything
kept in drug store, the same will be
practiced.
No action has been taken by the pro.
prletors of the confectionery stores yet,
but in all probability the law will be
tested bv some of them.

here it was ascertained that the gen.
eral government has been making ar
engagements for some days past toward
quick transportation of federal troops

points on the sea coast 1t is also stated
that the Washington authorities have
been in communication with the state
officers in regard to calling out the
state troops If necessary, and to pro-
vide for their quick transportation to
points needed. 1t is understood that
this has been going on very quietly for
the last week, and that all arrange
ments have been completed, so that at
a moments nOLlce the troops could be
thrown into Tampa, Key West, ST. Au.

jacksonville.

hundred men each and four batteries.

after about five minutes of dancing and
shifting and then they clinched. La
the breakaway COrbett caught Jetfries
a clip on the right car. This riled the
Los Angeles lad and he dashed into
Corbett like a tiger. He landed with
his left full on the champions forehead
and sent him with crash against the
SIDE of the building. COrbett was for
the moment dazed, but he pulled him
self together just in time to slip away
again. Jeffries followed Corbett into
the center of the court and essayed to
throw in another left similar to the
one.w hich'sent the champion against the
wall. jim was on the alert. He duck
ed the blow and, qui-k as a flash, shot
his right out for crOss-cOunter. The
blew caught Jetfries flush on the jaw
and he sank to his knees. The young
fellow recovered in about three
minutes and confessed that he had
been in a trance. Then they went at it
again with Jeffries more savage than
ever. He hustled Coroett around the
ring until the latter. for self-protectiOn
