closed when trains stop at HogansVliie

the office is not conducting as much
business as usual, but the belief is en-
entertained that the citizens generally
will soon realize that it is the purpose
of the department to protect
it's appointee and will then

Most certainly. There has been a
strengthening in the markets along the
line. Business men abroad realize that
the United States is now master of the
situation. We have the goods to sell,
grain, cotton and everything. The
crops are short, their needs are great,
and they must buy of us. In moving
our enormous crops there will be

PUT DOUGLAS ONRECORD
Lincoln Made Him Commit Himself On
the Slavery Issue.

Perhaps no anecdote ever told of
Mr.. Lincoln illustrates more fore bly,
his "lon gheadeduess'' in laying plans.
net even that incid entw when he a ked e
ledge" question in his debate wi h
Mr.. Douglas, which may be told as fol-
lows:
One afternoon during that joint
debate Mr. Lincoln was sitting with
his friends, planni-g the program,
when he was observed TO go off in
kind of reverie, and for some time az
pared totally oblivious of everything
around him. Then slowly bringing
his right hand up. holding it a
moment in the air and then letting it
fall with quick slap upOa his thigh,
be said:
There, am going to ask the
'jedge.' he always called him the
jedge0 question tonight, and [ don t
care the ghost of continental which
way he answers it. If he answers it
one way it will lose him the senator
ship. If he answers it the other way
it will lose him the presidency"
No one asked him what the question
was; but that evening it was the turn
for Mr. Douglas to speak first, and
right in the midst of his address, all at
once Mr.. Lincoln reused up as if a
new thought had suddenly struck him,
and said:
"Jedge, will you allow me to ask
you one question:"
"Certainly," says Mr.. Douglas.
"Suppose, jedge, there was a new
town or colony just started in some
| western territory: and suppose there
we're precisely 100 householders-
voters-there; and suppose, jedge, that
ninety-nine did not want slavery and
| one did. What would be done about
| it?'
Judge Douglas beat about the bush,
but failed to give direct answer.
mo, no, jedge that won't do. Tell
| US plainly what will be done about it?''
Again Douglas tried to evade, but
Lincoln would not be put off, and be
| insisted that direct answer should be
| given. At last Douglas admitted that
the ma ority would have their way by
I some means or other.
| Mr.. Lincoln said no more. He had
| occurred what he wanted. Douglas had
answered the question as Illinois PEG
pie would have answered it, and be
got the enatorship. But what answer
was not satisfactory to the people o

Notice to Shippers.
Office of Commercial Agent.


Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York SUBJ
segment to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detept ton to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promul ated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyoad; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
Ii. & T. G. and Southern Pacific: Nj. K
u 7 H. & T. G. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. I. & P, 81: & T c. ard Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. Nj. X. & 7 II.
& T. G. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from sesboard via Nor
gan L ne steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands We're very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimple5
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofua and the
only medicine which had heIpd her was
Hoods 5arsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve

him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
