SPIRIT LAKE

Yesterday the editor Of this pa
per. accompanied by his family and
guy Crossett, one Of our office
force. took a days outing. and en-
loved a fsh-iry at Spirit Lake, one
of our most noted fishing resorts.
We arrived at our destination
about 7.45 a. M, aud was met at
the landing by Mr. T. B. Weathers-
bv. who runs a steam launch on the
lake. and also a splendid hotel in a
beautiful park upon its bank, who
took our party in charge and soon
had us fixed up for fishing He
also keeps a supply Of fine live min
nows, which he sells at a reasona-
ble price to fishermen. The hotel
is we'll arranged and furnished
fronts $50 feet on the lake, with
two elbows Of about 40 feet each
running back from each end, with
a gallery all arouud-cOntains Il
rooms. Mr.. Weathersby certainly
has an ideal fishing resort, upon the
prettiest and best fishing lake in
this vicinity.
During the morning we caught
several very fine game fish, and at
noon we prepared them for dinner
upon the grounds, and enjoyed the
mid day repast very much. In the
afternoon we did not have such
good luch, and hence had no fish to
bring home. Taking the s p. IN.
passenger, arrived back at 9 o'clock.
We can say to our friends and
the public generally, that Spirit
Lake is the best fishing resort we
know of-since Mr.. Weathersby has
built a good hotel there, and oper-
ates a splendid steam launch, which
can be used by pleasure parties, in
taking boat-rides, as well as going
to and fro from the hotel If you
want to enjoy days outing go to
Spirit Lake.

The vote in the United States
senate on Friday on the war meas
ure indicates very plainly that
there will be bond issue. We are
not surprised. whoever knew of
a war" asked Senator German the
other day, "that bonds we're not is
sued to carry on?" We do not re-
call any, and yet we cannot get
over the idea that non-interest
bearing legal tender treasury GER
tiioates and good silver dollars
would answer all purposes at the
present time. But if we must have
bonds give us those provided for by
the senate IN preference to those
urged by Mr.. Reeds house, And if
the stamp tax is eliminated entire
ly the measure will be that much
more popular, for all the odious
acts for raising revenue that OF
strmp tax is the most objectiona-

MRS. NJ. B. DUKE DEAD.
She Was Burned 10 Death by the
Ignition Of a Mosquito Bar,

lghluoh OF mVs4uA'"
This morning news hed over the
city that Mrs. NJ. b, Duke had de-
parted this life under distressing
conditions.
Mrs. Duke, so We are informed,
has been in the habit Of getting up
at night aud taking smoke, and
last night when she arose the
clock hands pointed at l2:lO
O'Clock.
II seems that she threw the mos
quito bar up and was sitting on the
edge Of the bed, with a lighted
match in her hand preparatory to
lighting her pipe when the bar fell
down aud caught on fire, ignitinP
her cotton gown at the same time
Mrs. Duke is a very large woman
aud is comparatively helpless and
in this case she colld render her
self no aid. Her screams brought
Mr.. Decker, a lodger Of her board
ing house TO her room, and seeing
her all ahame, ran back to his
room and procured a pitcher OF
water aud dashed it over the burn
| ing form and then went to work to
smother out the burning clothes
with anything he could pick up
about the room.
When finally the fire was smoth-
cred, it was found that she was
frightfully burned, and that there
was no possible chance for her to
recover
At the time of the accident, Mrs.
Duke had in bed with her, an
orphan girl, named Elsie Edwards,
whom she had taken to RAISE and
the great wonder is the child too
was not burned as it jumped out OF
bed aud was standing over Mrs.
Duke, crying out, Aunty! Aunty!
when Mr.. Decker reached the
room, but by miracle she escaped.
The good lady, for such she was,
| died at an early hour this morning.
Mrs. Duke came here in 1874 and
bought property on the corner OF
! Clinton and State street, and has
Lived there continuously since,
keeping boarders as means of
livelihood. She was a charitable
good old soul, and has raised two
girls to womanhood, saw them mar
ried of. Gave them her blessings
as well as doing other favors by
them.
She had reached the seventy
seventh year of her age when the
sad accident overtakeu her, and
her soul is now at rest with the
Giver.
The funeral will take place from
the residence this afternoon.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that IS Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying lhe foundation
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors

As one of the recent victims OF
bicycle riding in Texarkana, l ask
the privilege Of your valuable col
umns for an appeal to our Honor
able city council to protect the
public. Something has to be done
1t is becoming dangerous to life to
walk on the side walk on 9th street.
I would suggest that all bicycles be
ordered of Of 5th street. Unless
this bicycle riding on the principal
sidewalks in Texarkana is stopped,
someone is going to be hurt. l was
run in to this morning and made a
narrow escape from a serious injury.
If the city council viii not protect
us, I for one will try to protect my
self, and it will become a survival
of the fttest.

A BICYCLE VICTIM.
Fourteen Millions Left to Charity.

Fourteen Millions Left to Charity.
An eminent clergymen has pre-
pared comparative tables showing
the amount OF money left for ben
evolent purposes by testators in
the United States during the past
three years. He finds that the be-
quests for eS97 are 81, 600, 900 IN ex-
cess of those of 1896 In the former
year they we're upward of $4,000,
900, in 1897 more than $4,000, 600.
Benefcence has other forms than
that of money. Great remedies are
amoug the most precious legacies.
Prominent among these is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, a most
effective remedy for and preventive
of malaria. Equally efticaciOus is
the bltters in cases of dyspepsia,
constipation, rheumatism, nervous
ness, billiousness and loss of appe

Upon this rock, l built nv

dom came into the reporters mind
this morning when passing the lot
on which a dozen or more
men were placing a foundation for
the new brick Baptist church, on
Pine street. The reporter learned
from Messrs. McAdoo & DAVIS, the
contractors, that the foundation
which is being laid in crushed stone
and cement, is to be sixty inches
wide under the tower and twenty
four inches thick, and forty-four
inches at the base around the
building and eighteen inches thick.
This will certainly make founda-

learn, will be given out as soon as
the foundation is made and allowed
