FROM A TEXAS DEMOCRAT.
He Has No Uss for Populism in

PETTY, Tex, Nov. l.-Some years

help.mset Miss Kate Holsworth) in
Dickinson county. | have since been
a close reader Of the WEEKLY Re-
FLEcroR especially its editorial page.
Although Texan and Democrat
and the proprietor OF Democratic
paper, | feel impelled to write you
that regard the REFLECTOR as one
of the very ablest opponents Of Re-.
publican doctrine have ever read.
The dexterity and facility with
which your editorial writer exposes
the hollowness Of Populist pretenses
and lands them in the cavity is ad-
mirable and pleasing. From your
paper | have learned more about
Kansas politics than | ever knew be.
fore, and ! do not hesitate to say that
were l given the opportunity should
support the Republican state ticket.
As an outsider | declare to you that
the Populist administration in Kansas
has been an ignominious failure and
its utter defeat is necessary to the
well being of the State. certainly
hope it will be encompassed.
In Texas the Populist party will be
heard Of no more except under another
name after next Tuesday. Mr.. j. R.
Lane, former editor Of the Abilene
Monitor, attempted some months ago
to resuscitate the Pop paper in the
county seat Of this county, a city Of
10000 population, and it went to the
wall in a month. There were not
enough Of them left to support it.

Catarrh Can Be Cured

By eradicting from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures catarrh
promptly and permanently, because
it strikes at the root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it
makes, circulating through the de.
licate passages of the mucous mem.
brane, sooths and rebuilds the tissues,
giving them tendency to health in
stead Of disease, and ultimately, cur
ing the affection.
AT the same time Hoods Sarsapa.
rilla strengthens, invigorates and en-.
ergizes the whole system and makes
the debilitated victim OF catarrh feel
that new life has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing
the causes which produce it.

BACK FROM PORTO RICO.
Ed Hover Comes Home Well and in
Good Spirits.

After three years absence from Abb
ilene, Ed Hover came home last we, k
surprising his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
X. B. Hover, who had not heard from
him since July. He was a marine on
the Marbehead and participated in
the operations off Guantanamo. Sea
life did not agree with him and lie
was transferred to the 18th regular
regiment Of infantry and went to
Porto Rico. He was in two fights and
stayed with the army Of occupation
until Oct. rs when he started home,
landing in New York last Saturday.
He is home on iurlough but will ask
for discharge when the peace terms
are fixed. He was sick with typhoid
fever for six weeks following Aug. 81
and shows the marks Of it yet, though
he is recovering his usual good health.
He has had many interesting exper-
fences and his many friends are glad
to see him and hear Of his exploits.
Ed has some valuable relics cap
tured from the Spanish army in Porto
Rico where the Spanish dropped
everything and ran for their lives.
He has had a valuable experience and
one that rather beats that of any one
else from Dickinson county. He was
the only man from Kansas on the
Marbleheap or with the 18th regi-
ment. He says Porto Rico is a mag
niicent island and will be a very val
liable acquisition for. the United
States.
