BETTER DEAD.
What People With Diseased Nerves
Are Wont to Say.
But There Is Hope.
Learn Wisdom From the Indian and Like
Hin Know Not the Meaning of Nerves.

No one can realize the terrible suffering
person has to undergo who has diseased nerves.
Everything seems to irritate him, and actually,
everything considered, but little sympathy
should be extended to such sufferer, as there
is no excuse for the existence of this dreadful
and harrassing disease. With pure blood, and
the stomach in perfect condition, and with the
other organs of the body working properly,
health alone can be the result, and with health,
nerves are forgotten. Keep the great vital
organs Of the body hcalthy, and the result IS, a
perfect appetite, nights of refreshing and quiet
sleep and a body that is strong and robust.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is the one and only
greatremedy for weak and diseased nerves. One
instance OF the many brought to our attention
by the use of this potential medicine comes
from Macomb, ILL.,, which reads as follows

The recent death of ex-senator Coke
of Texas calls to mind little story of
his early life. Mr. Coke was a Vir-
ginian by birth, and went to Texas when
twenty-one, there beginning his public
career by election to a small local office
and advancing step by step to the state
Supreme bench, then to the highest Office
OF the state, being twice elected governor.
FROM the governors chair he went to
the Senate, where he served eighteen
years, then declining reelection. 1t was
his boast, that while judge of the Su-
preme court of Texas after the war, hay
ing served on the Confederate side, Gen.
Sheridan removed him from the bench rs
AN impeachment to reconstruction"
When Mr.. Coke first started in public
life as candidate for a small Office he
found himself opposed by q young man
named Cole. The latter was an eloquent
speaker, and seemed to be having the
best of the campaign for that reason. To
offset this the friends of young Coke pre-
pared big barbecue, and made arrange
ments for speech by man who 1T that
time was the most popular orator IL
Texas. When the day arrived for The
barbecue, the great orator telegraDhed
that he could not come and that there
fore they would have to get someone else.
IhIs was hard blow to the Coke people,
and when they cast about for speaker
the best they could do was 60 bring ont
a r0ugh-and-tumble sort of fellow who
had been coal miner in Virginia, with
some local reputation as a wit. The COM
mittee who hired him were in fear and
trembling, wondering how it would turn
out. But they were not in suspense
long, for his first sentences caught the
crowd and turned the tide In favor Of
their candidate, Mounting the big plat
form built for the occasion, he began:
"Feller citizens, | am here today to
talk to you about Coke and Cole You
know me, and you know what am talk
ing about. l want to ask you if you
know the difference between Coke and
Cole? But it amt necessary Every
man of you knows that the difference be-
tween them is the gas that is in the
Cole"
1t need hardly be added that young
Coke was elected by big majority. And
from that time on his election to every
office was by a big majority, carrying
Texas the first time for governor by 90
600 and the second time by 100000

section II. of the new laws This vessel is
to be kept at the port of Newborn whea
not in use, and the expenses of keeping
and using the steamer are to be paid out
of any money belonging to the oyster
fund. This expense, however the State
has found by experience to be very
great Therefore the Governor has been
anxious to make some other disposition of
it. With this in view he has been in cor
respondence with the Wilmington Naval
Reserves, through their commander, Lieut..
George l.. Morton. The Wilmington ma
val battalion have agreed to take the
boat and relieve the State of all expense.
The Governor has partially consented to
this arrangement and has advised Mr..
White when he does not have the steamer
in actual service to turn it over to
the naval reserves, and save the ex-
pensc Of keeping it.

Each car has ten seats and can most

As soon as the cars are put on rapid

np-to-date street car service. And his eff
forts are being appreciated.

A NEW STAR HAS ARISEN

The Hon. Hallelujah Ayers First AI-
pearance on the American Stage.
An event of more than national I'M
4portance takes place here this week. Inc
American stage will receive a new ac-
cession to its already bright galaxy of
living. moving actors. 1t Is no less

The Hon. Hallelujah will appear in the
great military play, Captain Dick" at
Metropolitan Hall, on next Saturday
evening. He vii lessay the role of Mr..
/ Merritt
And just here it might be well to re-
mind those who are not familiar with the
great play that the character represented
by the Hon. Hallelujah appears on the
stage only in the first act-a fact that
should be borne in mind, IN order that
the crowded house which goes there to
see and hear him may be in good time
SO remember, you must be there at the
rising of the curtain or you may have to
90 away disappointed

Aver unmuffles his usual silence, grasps
the speaking trumpet and delivers himself

The only trouble about it all is that 1T

which the Hon. Hallelujah is assigned,
and to which he has been deyoting him.
self these many weeks. Though he speaks
hat few lines. these lines are worth the
money. Then ne dies and his death is
worth much more. The question with the
management has been how to hold the au-
dfence after this latter event. The chief
attraction of the show being over and the
fondest desire of the rabble gratifed there
will naturally be a stampede for the door
after the Hon. HalleluJah's demise.
In order to prevent this special ar
rangement has been made whereby Col
Aver can be revived and allowed to spend
what little time he can spare from press
ing business, before the curtain making
short talks on the Initiative and Referell-
