REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.

New York. Feb. S.-The Herald'S
correspondent ut Rio JaneirO. Brazil
tClegraphS that the fanatical inSurTec-
tionists. under COnselhirO. have now
GGJ well armed men organized and
concentrated in Bahia.
The people in the rural towns are
now helping the fanatics with arms
and money Where this aid is not Civ
en- the vengeance of COnSelhirO'S band
falls upon the settlers. In this manner
more than 60 rich plantations have al
ready been destroyed.
The government has been informed
that several foreigners have joined
the fanatics and are pushing forward
a more scientific military OrganiZa
ton among them.
Two small towns were pillaSed and
burned by the fanatics yesterday. In
several skirmishes with the Federal.
troops the latter were defeated. The
families have obtained steam laun-
ches and now patrol the rivers and
streams in the districts where they
are strongest. In this way the range
of the devastation committed by them
is extending and the utmost terror
prevails in that region.
The society of spiritualists of Rio
Janeiro has sent a commission TO Ba-
hia TO attempt to convince the fanat-
les that il will be well for them to
submit to the government in temporal
matters.

and Pleasant Week.


and Pleasant Week.
Pearsall. Tex, Feb. THE social
hop given at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Haynes last Friday night
was well attended. The inclemency
of the weather did not deter any from
attending, but at an early hour the
guests began to arrive and when the
dance began the parlor was comfort
ably filed by the pleasure seeking
young people. Dancing began at an
early hour and continued until about
10 O'Clock. when it was interrupted
and all invited to a delicious supper,
which all greatly enjoyed. After sup
per dancing was again commenced
and it was not until the noon of night
had long been passed that all bid their
kind and genial host and hostess good
night.
The Social Debating club met Mon
day night and discussed the question
Resolved that the state Legislature
should pass a wild animal bounty
law" The argument pro and con
was exceedingly good, but the judges
decided in favor of the negative side.
1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that such 4 decision on the
part of our state Legislature would
meet with the universal approval Of
the farmers of this county and would
he to the entire satisfaction of a
greater number of the Stockmen, as
they say the bounty paid in one year
would amount to more than the DAM
age the wild animans would do in
four or five years.

PORTO RICO REFORMS.

New York. Feb. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from San Juan De Puerto
Rico S;lyS:
The government has received q ca
III" message from Madrid Stain" that
royal decree in relation on to the
reforms recently granted to Puerto
Rico has been issued. The decree com
mands the council of state to rpconsid-
er the reforms in all their hearings.
ana report upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
further simplifying them or of apply
ing them Internationally.
1t is believed that the home govern
ment has taken into consideration the
protest of the AutonOmiSt party and
the criticisms which have been made
upon the measures of political relief.
The report OF the council will be
awaited with some Impotence here.
The Spanish party in the island has
issued a manifesto counter TO that
promulgated by the AutOnOmiStS. The
AutOnomist party is strongly ccnsured
for its attitude in refusing to accept
the reforms and the government is
assured of the adherence and unQual-
flied support Of the loyal citizens of
the island.

GREECE TO AID CRETE.
Prince George in Command of the
Torpedo Squadron.

Athens, Feb. S.-The announcement
that Prince George, second son of the
King of Greece, will command the
torpedo feet which is now in readiness
to start for Crete to join the Greek
quadron, has added strength to the
rumors that Greece will insist upon a
union with Crete. 1t is a well known
fact that the Christians, who are now
in possession of the whole island, with
the exception of Heraklion and Reti-
mo, are only awaiting n signal from
Greece to proclaim union with that
country. The present uprising in
Crete is looked upon by statesmen in
this country as move on the part of
the sultan of Turkey to draw the at
tention Of England, France and Rus
sin away from COnstantinople. Greece,
whose quarrel with Turkey has been
growing more serious from day to
day. has not hesitated to take advan-
tage of the excuses of the Turkish
soldiers on the island, and is sending
all of her naval force there. Should
the sultan regard this move as n chal-
lenge. there would be presented COM
plications which will quickly force the
hands OF the powers in dealing with
the Turkish situation. These fresh
and unanticipated difficulties. the sui
tan is no doubt aware. will put
strain upon the harmony between the
powers which has only existed for n
short time. The sultan therefore
would be naturally only too glad to
demonstrate the unity of purpose
among the powers at the expense of
a controversy with Greece.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Instantly Relieved and PermanentIy
Cured by stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
New Discovery, hut Not n Patent
Medicine.

DIR. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count OF what he considers a remarkable
cure OF acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new dis
covery. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
lie says: The patient was man who
had suffered 10 my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything ne ate SEEM
ed TO sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades, and
limbs, fulness and distress after eating
poor appetite, and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
seeplessness at night.
/ gave him powerful nerve tonIcs and
blood remedies, but to no purpose AS an
experiment L finally bought a 5o-cent pack
age of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at a
drugstore and gave them to him. Almost
Immediate relief was given, and after he
had used four boxes he was 10 all ap-
pearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings, no bloatlng after meals,
the appetite was vigorous, and he has
gained between ten and twelve pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drugstores, yet /
consider them a most valuable addition
to any physicians line of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children or invalids or in any
condition Of the stomach with perfect
safety, being harmless and containing
nothing but vegetable and fruit essences,
pure pepsin. and Golden Seal.
without any question they are the
safest most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousness, constipation, and all de-
rangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the Stuart Company, Of Marshall, Mich.
and sold by druggists everywhere at 80
cents per package.

meet the subscribers. to the circulating
department Of that institution in the base
men OF that institution, No. 2Ol east Main
street, TO discuss plans and devise means
10 keep the library open. 1t has been
whispered that unless renewed interest in
behalf of the Rosemary could be enlisted
the library would have to be closed for
lack or funds TO sustain il. II was re-
marked by several persons yesterday that
TINS would be a shame, and that the libra
~, which IS the only circulating library
III the city. should be kept open by all
NEE rs. There are in this institution seve-
raj thousand volumes. many Of which are
the latest and most costly works in Dog
raphy, history. science. and fiction. Some
OF these books cost as high as $3.50 each,
and circulating member only pays the
modest sum Of 50 per year for the fun adj
vantages of the library. There are now
about 225 circulating subscribers. and the
management feels that there should be
at least 600. Efforts will be directed TO
the requirement OF this number.
