TOURIST HOTEL SITE.
To Daily Light:

To Daily Light:
Why not build the tourists hotel on
one of the largest plazas of the city,
centrally located, on West Commerce
street? Property on Paschal square
is now yet available for very reason
able terms. Once decided upon to
have the hotel built there, all the small
houses on the south side and along the
square will vanish as If swept away by
a cyclone; new, large buildings, like
Wolfsons, Villemain's, Mengers and
Santa Rosa infirmary will be erected
in a short time and new life will be
established that will benefit the en-
tire city. All of the other plazas are
well supplied already with hotels and
there is hardly room enough for no.
tel the magnitude of this proposed tou-
rists hotel. Then it is situated on one
of our main market thoroughfares,w with
street car lines running to and from
the International, Arkansas Pass and
Southern Pacific railroads. The COM
mittee should consider we'll these ad-
vantages-beside the location of a hO-
tel on a large open plaza, which is
supplied with a large park-Milam
square park-and a general pictur-
esque surrounding. BY putting the
hotel there San Antonio will soon be the
metropolis in Texas, as our Alamo, Main
and Military plazas are already well
supplied and crowded with substantial
and imposing buildings. In building
a hotel of such size, a healthy location
should be selected. above all, a place
with plenty of room and ventilation,
centrally located, and to correspond
with the other main plazas. With
the Menger hotel on Alamo plaza, the
courthouse on Main plaza, the city
hall on Military plaza and the tourists
hotel on Paschal square, San Antonio
would be the most picturesque and
most sought for city for tourists re-
sort in Texas. Paschal square has a
large surrounding; Carr and Prospect
hill, southwest; Lakeview and West
End lake, northwest; San Pedro
Springs, north land Tobin hill and I.au-
rel Heights, northwest. Put the hotel
there and a grand view from the hotel
will be given over these lovely plazas,
extending far west over the hills Of the
LeOna. The best OF our citizens are
living at these places and but a small
district near Paschal square is inhabi-
ted by an undesirable class, but these
would soon seek quarters further out.
a. soon as building is commenced.

AN OLD OFFENDER.

Recorder Dan Lewis accepted the
city's judicial bench this morning and
adjusted the differences of six delin-
quents with the city. One case was
that of Joaquin Baltierez, a chronic
Mexican offender, who some years ago
was charged with the murder of Book
keeper Patton, on Warren street, while
he was in Patton's house on a burgla-
rious visit. Owing to the death of De-
tective Hughes and also Of Mrs. Pat
ton the case was never ended and Bal
tierez is free. Last night he was
caught by officer Beck lurking in the
back yard of a residence in the Third
ward and was arrested. Recorder
Lewis fined him s25 for being a suspi-
ciouS character.

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND
THEIR CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.


THEIR CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
The shopkeeper who cheats us by
/ lying with regard TO the quality of his
/ goods, and the grocer or the butcher
who gives us short weights, is thief.
However, their knavery touches moth
| ing but our pOcketbook. There Is an
Oller widespread form of misrepresen-
lIun of far more dangerous and vii
! famous character.
We refer to the false statements
and worthless guarantees that fire.
Quently accompany medicines. To
guarantee a medicine to cure is to
brand ii as a quack product. If we
can guarantee to cure disease, then
we can guarantee everlasting life, for
in a large majority of cases people die
of disease, the proportion of violent
or accidetal deaths being very small.
The Shakers havealways been known
as most upright and honorable peo-
pie. and their success in the manu-
facture of medicines has also been
we'll known. 1t is therefore not sur
prising TO find them pursuing a very
original and novel plan for the intro
duction of their remedy for dyspepsia.
These GOd-fearing people, whose
motto has always been Try all things
and hold fast that which is good"
have put upon the market ten cent
sample bottles of their product, or suf-
ficient TO give it trial.
The Shakers Digestive Cordial is so
prompt III its action that for the triv-
ial sum of ten cents, Il person can us
ually determine as to whether or not
it meets the requirements of his case.
There are forms of dyspepsia which
it won't help, but these are very rare.
In most cases the first dose relieves
all distress, and an increase of appe-
lite at once follows.
All druggists have it, and the next
time you are troubled with indigestion
send out and try this popular and
successful product. 1t represents near
ly Il hundred years of patient investi-
cation and study.

writing from st. Michael's, says he is
afraid he will be forced to discontinue
it, because of the exodus of the city's
population into the region nearer the

The influx of miners from the Yukon
