PLAGUE OF INSECTS.
Animals Killed in Texas by the Zero

San Antonio. Tex, April 21.-The plague
of buffalo gnats is spreading through the
lower coast counties south of here, and
the depredations of the persistent little
insects is something terrible
1t is estimated that in the counties east
of Rockport the gnats have been the di-
rect cause of the death Of fully 1 900 head
of horses and other farm animals. No
such plague has ever before been known
in that section, and the fatal effects of
the poisonous bites cannot be accounted
for by the local scientists.

The accumulated impurities in the
blood cause very different symptoms
with some people. The kidneys,

their efforts to relieve the clogged

attacks, failure of appetite, coated

that tired feeling are some results.
From the same cause may also come

All these troubles and more may prop

and just as there is one cause, a cure
is found in just one remedy, and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Offensive
CataPPh.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew Of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can DO
so except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, s. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.

FREED BY BROTHERS DEATH.
An Immigrant Who Was Not Sent
Hack.

Back.
Two immigrants who have been de-
tanned on Ellis Island pending the SAIL
ing Of the ships that brought them
here, when they were to be deported.
have gained the freedom OF these
shores. one through the suicide Of his
brother, who had sought his release.
and the other through the force Of a
written plea which he had sent to the
commissioner Of immigration. says the
New York Herald. Andras Kadalcheck
is an Austrian and reached this coun-
try in the steerage Of the steamship
Aller. Upon examination 1t was
brought out that he was violator OF
the alien contract labor law. and an
order was issued to deport him. Pend
ing its execution Mihaly Kodalcheck,
his brother. hastened here from Sieg-
fried. Pa, and through lawyer sue
ceeded in obtaining stay. Mihaly put
up at the Landsman hotel over night,
and was instructed by his counsel to
appear on Ellis island the next fore
noon. Mr. Gottlieb was there on time
but his client was not. After long
wait the lawyer called up the hotel by
by telephone and asked that Mihaly be
awakened and sent to the island. The
reply came back: THE man is dead"
Mihaly had been suffocated by gas dur
ing the night The hotelkeeper said
that the man was under the influence
of liquor when lie retired. The polica
do not believe that the gas was turned
on accidentally. and think that Mihaly
committed suicide. Andras was so
much affected by the news OF his
brothers death that Commissioner Sen
ner took pity on him, and, cutting
short the rehearing. allowed the man
to land. Giuseppe Mfntello is an 1tal-
ian ard arrived here in the steerage
of the steamship Victoria recently. The
man is fairly well educated, but, hav-
ing no money. 1t was ordered that he
be sent back and instructions were
given to place him on board the Boil
via, which It put to sea. In the mean
time, Mintello had written his plea
and had written 1t so we'll that DR.. Sen
ner was moved to rescind his decision.
The Bolivia was just casting on her
lines when telephone message from
Ellis island was received and Giuseppe
was put ashore.
