Constipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are perfectly
simple-perfectly safe. They are not
at all violent in their action, and yet
they are more certain than many
medicines which are so strong that
they put the system all out of order.
The great advantage of the "Pleasant
Pellets" is that they cure permanently.
You don't have to keep on taking
them. You don't acquire a "pellet
habit" as in using other pills. Take
them regularly for a while, and you
r cured permanently. After that,
take them only when you find your
self suffering from Indigestion. There
r many medicines offered for the
same purpose on which druggists
make a bigger profit. For this rea-
son, some druggists would rather sell
the other things. If your own health
is of more Importance to you than the
druggists prosperity, you will insist
on having what you ask for.

That plaza pool.

1t has been over three weeks now
since the street and park commission
er said he intended to clean out the
fountain in the plaza. 1t is becoming
almost unbearable to the people who
go to the plaza in the evenings to en-
Joy themselves and it is nearly impos-
sible for any of the citizens to sit
around the circle on account of the
stencil from that stagnant hole.
This pool should have sewer connec-
tions and whenever 1t was necessary to
drain the water out of the hole all the
commissioner would have to do would
be to open the drain valve and then
the water would be carried off without
having to have a Mexican work there
with hand pump for about twenty
four hours. After he had drained all
the water off then with small hose the
pool could be washed out and the home
of the gators made pleasant.
One of the evening habitues of
the park said to the reporter
last evening 81 don't see why
the gators don't have fever and die :.
1t would be a great loss to the plaza if
one of the city's pets should turn up
his toes to the daisies; all on &C
count of the slowness of some of our
city officials

How The War Balloon Works.

Chicago dispatch says:-The bal
loon that is now in active use and sail
ing over the beleaguered City of San
tiago and in plain view of %, 900 Span
iards and 1900 Americans was ship
ped from Tampa with Skaters forces,
together with the submarine cables
and other field telegraph equipment
the regular army in Cuba.
Mr.. w. ]. Lloyd, assistant district
superintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, say it is probably
one of the finest and most improved
equipments used in warfare. This bal
loon was shipped from Paris early in
May, and is charged with oxygen gas
from tubular reservoirs which have
been in use bv the army for expert
mental purposes at Fort Riley. The
balloon is first charged and then allow
ed to ascend by means of wire cables
from large reel made fast to field
wagon. The cable is used as tele-
graph and telephone conductor, and the
occupants of the balloon transmit 20
the ground their observations.
There is little danger of the balloon
being pierced by rifle shot, on &C.
count of its constantly swsying condi-
ton and the extreme difficulty of hit
ting anything at an elevation of say,
2, 500 feet, which is the usual limit of a
cable reel. The French claim to have
a gun which will pierce balloon, but
it is supposed there are none in use
either in the American or Spanish
armies. Had one of these balloons
been on board of SIMPSONS fleet much
anxiety would have been prevented
pending the final discovery of Admiral
Cervera in Santiago harbor.
1t is Mr.. Lloyd's belief that the bal
loon is in charge of Maj. Joseph E
Maxfield, who was formerly signal Off
Ger of the department OF the Missouri
with Gen. Brooke, of Chicago. This
particular balloon has lifting capacity
of 300 or 400 pounds, which would en-
able it to carry two signal men of or.
binary weight as well as the necessary
telegraphic and Photographic appara-
tus. This is said to be the first time that
balloon has ever been put in actual
war service on this side of the Allan
tic Ocean.

The HERALD reporter on his rounds
this morning went into the post Office
and the chief clerk showed q great
pile of mail which was all stamped
| with internal revenue stamps. Now
these stamps are no good Whatever on
| mail matter, as it takes a postal
stamp to carry letter,
and if you have mailed q letter with a
revenue stamp on it you should go to
| the Office, tell the address which is on
the letter, and get it back. This mat
| ter causes the postmaster a great deal
of trouble, as he has to write the per-
| son to whom the letter is addressed and
| notify him that there is a letter in
his Office for him that will be forward
ed as soon as he sends the postmaster
at this point the necessary stamps for
the forwarding of it.
There is another trouble which is
giving the post Office authorities a
great deal of trouble, and that is in
regard to the second and third class
mail matter.
The postoffice department at Wash
ington issued orders on the first day of
July, that no second, third or fourth
Class mail matter shall be return able to
the sender or forwarded to the
one to whom it is addressed
until extra postage has been pre-
paid. The classes of mail which
this series of orders touches include
all books, pamphlets, periodicals and
the like, and merchandise. This mat
ter should be looked into by those who
contemplate going away for the SUM-
mer and wish their magazines sent
to them. They should notify the pub
fishers to change the address or else
leave the necessary amount of stamps
with the postmaster at this point.

Valley Fruit Prospects.

The fruit supply of FL Psso this yeal
has been remarkably large. The
peaches that have been shipped int
FL Paso have nearly all come from VI
In New Mexico and while they are
nice still they don't have that flavor
that the valley peach has ard this il
accounted for by the change of slti
tude.
c. o. Coffin Of San Elizario says
short, but the grape and plum crop:
are very large and of excellent quail
ty."
MIR. Coffin, whose model farm an6
beautiful orchard down near the San
Elizario are unexcelled in Rio
Grande Valley, has just received q car
load OF boxes and baskets for shipping
Bartlett pears, his pear orchard hav
ing arrived this year for the first time
at an age when 1t will be possible t.
supply that delicious fruit for shipment
in car load lots.
All fruits and vegetables grow ex-
ceedingly well in Ell Paso county, but
1t is peculiarly the home of the pear
OF the grape, and of the famous Ell Pasl
onion, which is known all over the
United States.
The largest pear tree in the United
States, which is over thirteen feet in
circumference, is near San Elizario
showing to what great growth the
pear will grow in this section of the
country. The pear crop like the grape
crop rarely fails in this valley.
The mission grape, as it is known in
California, grows to such perfection
here that it has come to be known
through out the east as the Ell Paso
grape, and so far every variety Of
grape tried here seems to arrive q,
perfection.
The Ell Paso onion, as it was known
twenty years ago, was large white
onion, and has been grown all the way
along the Rio Grande valley from E.
Paso to Brow nsville, but it was good
deal milder when grown here than
s wnen rve grown Onion further sssa down d;Nrs
the advent of the railroads have been
shipped in here from the north, and
the onion grown from any foreign seed
grows to be an immense size here
Here the large white onion formerly
known as the FL Paso onion is not gen.
orally grown now. Judge Blacker and
Judge Falvey fondly look back to the
time when they say the Ell Paso onion
twas as mild as an apple" But then
some folks may think that it is only an
other case of tasting the fruit that we
tasted in our childhood, fruit that We
never taste in after years.
Mr.. Coffin says that he has made
extensive arrangements to ship fruit
east this year and there is no doubt
but what his shipments for '9S will
far exceed ANY other shipments pre-
viously mad by any one in the valley.
Already the consumers of the east
have been writing letters here as to
the disposition of the famous Ell Paso
grape crop, and as the demand for this
grape is fast growing it is not known
whether the valley growers will be any
where near able to supply the orders
already received.

Cost of War Dispatches,

Added to the cost of the press fleet
itself is the enormous aggregate of tel
egraph tolls from out-of-the points
through the West Indies From
Kingston. Jamaica. to New York, via
Halifax, there is an English cable on
which the press rate reduces the cost
of dispatches to 10 cents per word. 1t
is about five hours shorter run, bow
ever, to Port A ntOnio, and this differ
ence may mean "a bsat," which, in
newspaper vernaculsr, is getting your
stuff into your home Office ahead of
the other fellow Thus much of the
news gathered on the south side
OF the islands fled at Port Antonio,
where an additional toll of 20 shillings
for 100 words is charged to wire it into
the cable office at Kingston. On d
message Of several thousand words this
amounts to good deal, but in
these days a few hundred dollars does
not count in furnishing news to the
public. On the day Lieut.. Hobson
sank the Merrimsc in Santiago har-
Dor the New York Herald fled 1000
words from Port Antonio for New
York. The Associated Press filed
900, and the other news interests re-
presented were not far behind in space.
The cost of this sort OF service is hard
to calculate.
On the other cable lines accessible
the cost is much greater. There is a
direct French cable to New York from
Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, but it costs
81 cents a word. prepaid in gold, to file
stuff. Out of Kingston, when the wire
is banked forty-eight hours ahead with
press matter, there is q hole out by
way of the Panama cable through
Central America. This luxury costs
ST.. 63 q word, but there have been nu-
of
filed via this route in the feverish eff
fort to get the news into home offices

Greatest Park In The World.

National park. To give an idea of
what its size, 1912 square miles, really

then they are 200 square miles left.
