for which he has been mentioned.
He has given the people very salts
factory administration Of the We'll
lingtOn pOstofice, with not jar or
discrepancy Of any sort, and has
during a lifetime among US proven
himself to be entirely trustworthy
and reliable. The most current
criticism of him is that he has been
constantly prominent in helping to
pile up anti>Republican majorities.
While he has been faithful as a
Democrat through all these years,
he now has the satisfaction OF find,
his veteran brother, Bill Hackney,
who served many weary wasted
years doing battle for Republicanism,
now lined up with him in bold array
against the powers Of plutocracy.
If we are to have a Democrat on the
ticket, which seems plausible in the
event Of vacancy, why not let it

A brief telegram announces that all
American prisoners in Cuba have
been rel ased. Grover Cleveland's
administration dilly dlalied with the
Cuban matter and was charged in
some quarters with yielding to Spain's

claimed that when Mckinley came
to the helm a vigorous Cuban
policy would be inaugurated. For
months the new administration has
been hesitating. Several times ii

DIR. B. S. REESE.

The wonderful spiritual medium, who
treats all your ills without drugs, or
surgical instruments, after a few
months absence. has returned to the
city, and can be found at 10S South
Alamo street. The Alamo Advance
in it's last issue says of him:
Call and see him and be convinced
of his ability. The doctors career
exemplifies the old adage that moth
ing succeeds like success" In the
eighteen years he has been travelling,
he has established a reputation that is
not confined to this state nor hemis-
phere alone. His name and reputa-
ton is known across the ocean as well
as in America. 1t is fact that he
treated thousands of afflicted people
during his stay in this city a year ago.
A true test of his method tells the
story of his great ability more forcibly
than words-His marvellous power as
a spiritual healer is as familiar as cur

NOT ALL MILLIoNAIREs.
A Designation Which the United

A Designation Which the United
States Senate Does Not Deserve.
During the closing hours of the Fiji
ty-fourth Congress three members of
the "Millionaires' club" as the Senate
mas often been called, were sitting in a
committee room condoling with each
other over the expiration of their pub
TIC life. Said one of them. and he came
from an eastern state: Il have an Of
Ter from a business concern to look
after its business interests in Wash
ington, which will pay me about as
mucn as my senatorial salary, and I
think I will accept it. If do. how
ever, l shall have to give up all hope
Oh reelection and consider my political
career ended"
Il would be mighty glad to give up
my political prospects" said No. 2. who
had been in public life for more than
third of a century, "for such a Job
or anything else, for that matter, that
will bring me bread and butter. I
have lost all my practice, and it will
be mighty hard work to get it back
again. 1 haven't the slightest encour-
agement for the future. The only
thing 1 can do is to go back home, work
in my garden, and raise enough vege-
tables to feed my family. 1 have de-
cided to try it, and wait for something
to turn up."
Il have no home to go to. I have
no garden to work in, and I haven't
enough money to pay my expenses
there if had one" said Senator Voor-
hees, who was the third member of the
group. Il have been in public life since
1861" he continued; "thirty-six years,
and all the money 1 have is in my
pocket this morning. l don't know
what am going to do" and in melan-
choly tones. often with a sob in his
voice, the venerable senator described
the hOpelessness of his fture.
1t was only few days ago that Sen
ators German and Allison were dis
cussing Mr.. Voorhees, situation and
trying to contrive some method by
which he could be made comfortable
for the rest of his life. They could
see no way to give him a pension.
There was no position in the govern
ment list to which he could be appoint
ed. So the only thing to be done
was to create one with duties that
would not be too irksOnIe for a man
of his feeble health and a salary suf-
ficient to keep the wolf from his door.
The situation of Mr.. Voorhees, was not
unique. There are several members
of the Senate whose financial cOndi-
ton would answer the description he
gave of his own, and yet that body is
called the "Millionaires' Club."-Chica-

Henry Wagner was before the re-

throwing stones at Gus Rathman last
Saturday. The testimony occupied
considerable time and the case was
continued by Judge Lewis until tomor-

The trouble arose over the fact that
Rathman accused Wagner's young
