and such n bearing down feeling; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before | had
taken one bottle of Lydia l.. Pinliham's
Esgetable Compound l felt great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half box of your
Liver Pills was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"

heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. / could not walk around and
could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat SO fast l would feel as

sit up in bed nights in ordert to breathe.

Houston Post ,

Houston Post.
Colonel M. d. Monserrate, vice-pre-
sident and general manager of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway, &C.
companied by G. w. Butcher, superin-
tendent of motive power and mRchin-
cry, and Captain William Berry. super
intendent of bridges and buildings,
was in the city yesterday on an inspec-
ton tour of his road.
A representative of The Post had
the pleasure of brief interview with
Colonel Monserrate in his private car,
and in the course of a very interesting
conversation he spoke in the most elo-
quent and enthusiastic manner of the
hunting and fishing club which Mr..
E. r. H. Green had taken so much
pride and pains in establishing on
the Texas coast, near Rockport. He
regards the enterprise rs we'll cal
culated to bring that portion of the
state at least into national prominence,
ship of such a thorough sportsman as
Mr. Green hundreds of fishermen of
the United States would soon be en-
lioyipg unrivsled piscstorial pleasure
in section fast becoming known as
the Paradise of Sport"
Colonel Montserrate stated that Mr..
I Green, accompanied by an architect
| "a several friends, was at Rockport Q
few days ago and selected q site for q
magnificent new club house, which
| was to be commenced as soon sas pos
sible and completed by September l.
The club, when fully organized,
would be one of the wealthiest and
most exclusive in the whole country
and would probably be composed OF
2oO or 300 members. SO popular had
the proposed organization become that
Mr.. Green had already received near
ly 1000 applications for mem
bership, and it was easy to see
that such an Organization would
necessarily be of vast benefit to
the vicinity at which 1t made its
headquarters. Mr.. Mopserr,ate furth-
err said that there was not the least
doubt of the success of the project and
that Mr.. Green was now negotiating
with the Arkansas Pass railway with
the view of having sleepers put on the
trains to Rockport for the accommsNa d.
ton OF the hoste of visitors whom the
club would attract to the coast. Pend
Ing this arrangement he added tina.
the road would put on
chair chars to Rockport
for which Mr.. Green had made snecifr
contract with his company. Altogeth.
er, he stated, the club would be a bip
thing for Rockport, for the coast and
for Texas, and he was satisfied the
greatest and the most substantial
benefits would come from its establish
ment.
