ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suit

generally needed when the languid,
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt
A prompt use of this medicine has of
ten ayerted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system fro the malarial poison.

SOME GOOD REASONS.
Why Mayor Elmendorf Should be Re-
tanned for Another Term.


tanned for Another Term.
The corporations and monopolies are
against Mayor Elmendorf, for what
the people have gained has been a loss
to them, and naturally they want the
old rates restored.
During the Callaghan administration
the city paid the San Antonio Gas
company 60 cents per night for each
arc light.
The present administration reduced
this rate So cents per night, and as
there are 200 arc lights used this is a
saving of $50 per day, or nearly $4,000
year.
OF course this corporation wants
change.
The Callaghan administration paid
annum for rental of fire hydrants, and
agreed to pay them $50 per year for
each additional hydrant placed and at
that rate the present rental would
amount to upward of $4,000.
The present administration reduced
the fire hydrant rental to $4,000 per
year, which includes all fire hydrants
to be established, fifty per year; all
water used for street sprinkling, pub
lie use in public school houses and city
hall, flushing sewers and water closets
in the entire city connected with the
sewer system free of charge. This
makes a difference of nearly $500 a
year to the Waterworks company, and
as a matter of course this little mon
opoly wants a change of administra-
ton.
During Mr.. Callaghan's administra-
ton the annual budget for printing
and advertising amounted to $4,000,
while that of the present administra-
ton amounts to less than $4,000, a diff
ference of more than $1,000. This is
why some others want a change.
During the last four years of the
Callaghan administration the San An
tonic National bank received annually
from the city from $4,000 to $4,000 as
interest money for general fund and
sinking fund advances, while the
monthly balances of monies belonging
to the city and deposited with the said
bank were upwards of 100000, for
which the bank paid no interest. The
city was simply borrowing its own
money and paying interest on same.
During the past two years no inter-
est was paid to the said bank. and
naturally it wants a change.
Cleaning bitches and river cost I'M
der former administrations $500 per
annum, while the present has done it
for less than $500.
The board of equalization of tax for
merly received $1,000, while now the
same work is performed for $500.
The police department, health de-
partment. fire alarm system and city
parks are all conducted at a much re-
duced expenditure.
There is not an employee in any of
the various departments of the city
whose pay is less than s1.50 per day.

MASHED WHILE COUPLING.

Charles Hathaway, a brakeman on
the Southern Pacific, was brought in
from Sullivan, a small station east Of
here, last night, with two badly mash
ed fingers, which were caught between
two drawheads while making a coup
ling. His wounds were temporarily
dressed by the company physician at
that place and he was sent to his home
on North Pine street in this city. 1t
is feared that one of the fingers will
have to be amputated.

Rralstreet's ReXicW.

New York, Feb. 27.-Bradstreet's
says:
The placing of orders for nearly
1900, 900 tons of steel within the past
three weeks is the most important in
nuence for improvement in general
trade since the November election.
The contracts for steel rails taken
since the break in the price, together
with expenditures necessary to lay the
rails, means the placing in circulation
Of no less than $50, 0OO, 900. The mean
ing of sales of rails for exports has
been exaggerated, as some orders placed
abroad were due to English mills be-
ing temporarily engaged on other forms
of steel.
The rush for rails appears to be about
over, and the outlook is for higher
prices. Consumption of Bessemer pig
iron is in excess Of production and wire
nails are running full time.
Many wooden mills in New England
have started up. Manufacturers are
buying in expectation of a duty being
placed on raw wool. Recent improve
ment in cotton goods is maintained.
At most cities there has been no change
In the volume or temper Of trade. De-
mand has been quiet, while expectations
favor an early Improvement, progress
thus far has been somewhat disappoint-
ing.
The most marked gains are at Chi
eago and st. Louis, where visiting mer-
chants have made relatively heavy pur-
chases OF dry goods. clothing and gro
ceries. Jobbers at Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Milwaukee and Louisville in some
instances regard the outlook as more
favorable.
Unfavorable weather on the South
Atlantic coast n in the northwest has
interrupted business and reports from
Galveston and Nashville are that the
movement OF merchandise has been
disappointing.
Exports OF wheat (flour included as
wheat from both coasts of the United
States this week zone holiday and from
st. John, N. b., have fallen off sharply,
the total amounting to 1872. PIG bush
els.
Exports of indian corn amount to A.
IA. 900 bushels this week, compared
with 6,441. 600 bushels last week.
There are 25S business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this w~eekcompared with 325 last week
and 27l in the week one year ago. There
are so failures reported from the Do
minion of Canada, against IS last week
and 81 In the week of a year ago.
