BOWIE COUNTY.

To the democracy of Bowie
county:-The Democratic Execu-
tive committee which met at Bos-
ton, Texas, recommended that the
various voting precincts hold cleo
tions on the 9th day of July, next,
to determine who shall be their
choice for the various Offices in
this state and county, and that
such choice shall be expressed by
ballot as in a regular election.
further recommend that said
election open not later than 8 a. m.
and that they do not close before
4 p. m. That the votes and tally
sheets be carried to the convention
on the 18th of July so that any
contests may be settled and errors
corrected by the convention, il
any are made.
1t is the hope of the entire party
that no fiction may occur in such
selection of candidates, and that
all having had an opportunity OF
voting their sentiments will cheer
fully yield to the choice Of the ma
iority, and that we may go to VIC
tory in the coming election with
greater triumph than has ever
been our good fortune to attain,

Great Britain is giving substan'
tial evidence of her sympathies in
the present isituatiou. The decla-
ration that coal is contraband and
the pressure against privateering
are not the only friendly acts per-
formed in the interest of the Unit
ed States. An order has gone forth
to all port officials that no warship
OF either belligerent can remain
longer than twentY-four hours
This gives the United States excel
lent ground on which to request
Portugal that the Spanish fleet
shall not be notified to move from
the Cape Verde islands.

International Arbitration.

At the Geneva Conference to
arrange international disputes there
was strenuous advocacy on the part
of the United States and other
powers in favor of the settlement
of national differences as to bound
arises, port custom duties, &C, by
an international court and not by
the bloody arbitrament of war.
But like many subjects, reasonable
enough in their origin, it has died
out of mems minds. But there is a
theme of comment, and that is the
incompatible fine effects of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters in cases OF
dyspepsia. Nor does the world anC
his wife comment less fayorablY on
the excellent effects of the Bitters
in cases of chills and fever, rheuma
tism, nervous and kidney complaint;
and constipation.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
iucurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it Il local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ].
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon

heavy assessment on the stock seems
to be conceded. but the report is that
preferred stock will be given 70 the
amount of the assessment. Although
the earnings are improving consider
ably. il is believed the fixed charges
are too high for permanent security,
and therefore a scaling Of certain bonds
is considered essential. On the other
hand it is argued that if the whole in
debtedness were reduced to a Az per
cent basis by the creation Of a blan-
ket mortgage into which the different
issues could be exchanged in varying
proportions. the charges could be re-
duced sufficiently for absolute safety
without impairing the rights of any.
