AS no ELECTRIC LIGHTS
AND WATERWARKs


John 7. Smith left This morning
Tor Austin, via Alice. Mr. Smith
has been here for the past ten DAYS,
making a study of conditions relative
TO constructing a system of electric
lights and water supply for Browns
Vile and Matamoros. The line of
work done by Mr.. Smith has been
TO determine the probable revenue
such plants might rely upon, together
with the cost Of operation and main
tenance of the same. If conditions
Justify IT, he will establish such
plants here for outside capitalists,
and he goes now to report the result
of his observations. just what he
will report, The HERALD cannot
state, bat he informed the reporter
that he would very probably return
to make a substantial proposition TO
our people, as he was fayorably i'm
pressed with the outlook. He ex-
pressed himself as surprised at the
high rates paid for insurance of pro-
perry here, owing to eur lack Of
waterworks, and also at the large
amount of uninsured property in the
city, where fire with a good start
could easily sweep Brownsville
and the surrounding country, and
prophesies that with proper develop
ment of irrigation and railroad tram
Bportation, this valley will become
one of theflensest populated portions
of the South. The climate, he de-
cfares, is such that truck farming
products wonld reach the markets at
a time to command The highest

Gladness Comes

rightly directed. There IS comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a conStipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
IL removes. That IS why it Is the only
remedy with millions Of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful

CHICAGO DEMOCRATS
Laud Bryan and AItasId and Nominate MunI-
cipai Candidates


CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Demo-
cratic city convention was called to or
der at noon today by Chairman Thomas
Gahan of the Democratic central COM
mittee, who introduced Charles s..
Thornton as temporary chairman.
Ex-Gov. Altgeld was not present, but
1t was we'll known that he was to domi-
nate the gathering. The slate included
Carter Harrison for mayor. A long
wrangle took place in the committee on
resolutions over the financial plank. The
platform as presented to the committee
made no direct reference to free silver
coinage, but ascribed the prevailing
business depression to the present mon
etary system, which 1t condemned, and
ended by lauding William j. Bryan and
ex-Gov. Altgeld. Municipal reform was
advocated and resolutions offered to
commit the party to franchise compen-
sation and the anti-department store
movement. The platform practically as
presented was adopted. Garter Harri-
son was placed in nomination by his
chief ex-rival, A. s. Trude, and the NOM
ination was made by acclamation. Err
nest Hummel was nominated by accla-
nation for treasurer.
William Loeffier was nominated for
city clerk, and Miles ]. Devin was nomi-
mated by acclamation for city attorney.
There was no deviation from the Alt
geld slate, prepared twenty-four hours
in advance.

DYING In AGONY
An Aged Stockton Lady Suffering From Fatal
Burns

Burns
STOCKTON, March 11.-Mrs. Cath
crime Keane, the aged mother of Mrs.
M Murphy. wife of well-known mer-
chant, lies dying in fearful agony from
burns received this morning. Shortly
after breakfast she went into the sit
ting room and sat down by the CRATE.
No other member of the family was IN
the room at the time, but when they
were summoned by her screams they
found her wrapped in fire. 1t was evil
dent that her skirts ignited from the
CRATE. While the agedlady was scream
ing in agony her daughter, Miss Keane,
ran, securing a blanket, and with the
aid of Mrs. Murphy. tried to extirguish
the flames. Owing to the aged and en-
feebled condition of the lady she was
unable to render any aid and, she fell on
the floor with the fire still burning her.
The screams of the daughters brought
w. H. Newman to the scene. A horri-
BILE sight met his gaze. The poor wom-
an lay on her beck near the Sink and
her clothing, which was partly of wool.
was still a half burning mass in spite
of all the ladies could do. Newman tore
the blazing skirts and with the assis-
tance Of another man who had come in,
laid Mrs. Keane on table. She was
not only conscious but extraordinarily
self-possessed, and calmly directed
those about her to get some -four with
which to cover the burns.
The injuries were, however, too great
and tonight the aged lady is sinking
rapidly with little or no hope for her
recovery.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE text of
the message to the Venezuelan congress
of President Crespo, which has Just reach
ed this country, shows that the subject of
the boundary controversy was treated at
great length.
For one thing It was made clear that
Venezuela knew nothing of the arrange
ments made between Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote for the submission
Of the boundary question to arbitration
until the whole matter had been closed up.
1t is evident the Venezuelan president did
not IKE this method Of arranging the af-
fairs Of his country without consulting
him. for his message shows that he was
not entirely disposed to accept the arrange
ments. However. In deference to the kind
ly interest shown by the United States in
this matter. he indorses the treaty and
pressed It upon the attention of the vene-
zuelan congress to the exclusion Of all
other business.
