For the Sake of Fun, Mischief is Done"
A vast amount of mischief is done
too, because people neglect to keep their
blood pure. The mischief appears in
eruptions, dyspepsia, indigestion, nerv.
BUSINESS, kidney diseases, and other all
ments. This mischief, fortunately, may
be undone by the faithful use of Hood s
Sarsaparilla, which cures all diseases
originating in or promoted by impure

Toronto bought her street railroads
in 1891 and operated them for six
months at profit of $50, 900 per month

paid into the city treasury, 3 per cent
of the gross receipts up to $1,000, 900.
10 per cent up to $l,5OO,OOO Of the

Sharing In street Railway Earning.


While Detroit and one or two other
American cities are engaged in the
never ending struggle to compel street
railways to reduce their rates of fare
the city Of Toronto continues to illus
trnte in n most striking and convincing
manner the wisdom of the policy that
exacts percentage of gross earnings
rs compensation for the use of the
streets.
According TO the Toronto Mail and
Empire OF Aug. 10 last, the earnings Of
the street railways in that city for ten
months OF the present fiscal year have
already passed the million dollar mark.
BY the terms of the franchise under
which the Toronto street railway plant
Is operated the company was required
to pay into the city treasury 10 per
cent of these earnings. The city treas
urer has therefore received II check for
$l2.72l, which Is the municipal share
of the earnings for July.
The Increase of the earnings and per-
ccntagcs for four years Is shown by
the following figures for July:

GOV. SAVERS SUMS UP THE TEXAS FLOOD
 SITUATION.
DEATHS LESS THAN 50.
Loss to Property, Both Railroad and Farming, and Crops of the State
 Will be Very Heavy.

Austin, Texas, July 9.-Gov. Savers stated tonight to an Asso- eiated Press correspondent that judging from all the reports he had received officially from the flood district, that there had been great loss of property, both personal and corporate, tbat hundreds of peop,e had been bereft of their homes and belongings, and that at present there were in the neighborhood of 45, ,000 people, the majority of them being negroes, who were depending entirely upon public charity for sustenarce. The suffering of water bound fugitiYes has been very great. The governor figures the reports out to show that the loss life has been comparatively small, not ex ceeding fifty. The loss of property, however, has been very great. From reports at his disposal, itis evident that the loss to property, both rail- road snd farming, and to the crops of the Satte will be great, and it is impossible to estimate it at present The heay,ess farming losses will tall upon the owners ot the big planta- tions in the bottom, who have lost all their crops and much of their physical property, and are not being protected in tue distribution of charity, which is being expended only among the poor. Up to to- night Gov, Savers hls received $50, 000 in the way of money eontri- buttons from this State and from those charilably disposed in the East. Ia addition thereto, he has sent out several carloads of groceries which have been made up by differ ent cities of the States. The situa- tion is being we'll handled now, every thing having gotten down to military precision, ard the governor stated tonight that by tomorrow every hungry mouth in Texas would be looked after if possible. The supplies have been we'll distributed over the hood-stricken district. A little delay was attendant upon doing this, Lut it has been done at at last, aud it is now believed that the worstis over
 The rivers are subsiding, and Coy. Savers is confident that be will be able to care for the poor of she State for at least week, after which time they can secure plenty of employment in the flood wrecked valley.

A COMMUNICATION
From a Jefferson County Taxpay T
 to the Graphic.

To the Graphc:
 The effort on the part of the Flee tric Light and Electric Street Car peor le to separate the two fran chises is scented as scheme to saddle upon our city an extrayagant light contract at extraVaeant prices and an extraordinary length of time. We hope that our city coul- ell will stand pat" and insist that the two contracts remain coupled as the ordinance now provides.
 There is no reason that long term light contract should be given by tho city at the rriee named in the ordinance and such a contract can only be excused on the grounds of inducement to the building, operating and maintaining an cleo trc street car line
 If the public is to be tied up for a period of twenty years, then tie the other fellows for the same period to operate an electric street car line Stand Pat, City Fathers

ALLEGED FALSE PRETENSES.
Attorney Titus Arraigned Upon That
Charge i'm Police Court

Howell Titus, a member of the bar, who
was at one time prosecuting attorney at
Titusyille Florida, was defendant in the
Police Court this morning in a case involv-
ing charge of false pretenses Fifty dol
lars was the amount involved, and the war
rant was sworn out by Jacob Dierer. who
Keeps saloon on d street near the Police
Court.
1t Is alleged that several weeks ago the
attorney got Mr.. Diemer to cash a check
for $50 for him, representing that he had
money in bank and that he would rein-
bUrse the saloon keeper should the cbeck
prove worthless. The check, it is claimed
was given to the attorney as a fee i'm the
case OF Mr.. Goldberg of Winston. Salem
N e., who was arrested in this c;tv not
long ago. Mr.. Diemer sent the check to
North Carolina for collection and il was
returned as worthless. Then the saloon
Keeper called on the attorney to make good
the amount. Because of his alleged fail
ure to do so, the saloon keeper sWore out
the warrant, which was served by Detectiye
Baur
fhe case was continued until Wednesday
ana the attorney gave his personal bonds

SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICES
Coming County Elections in Virginia De-
velop Many Candidates.
National Issues Are Generally Ignor-
ed and 1t is a Go-as-You-
Please Fight.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

RICHMOND, Va. February >. 1899.
In little over two months every county
III Virginia will elect county officers, in
Guiding the clerks OF courts The number
OF candidates for each office is unprecedent-
ed, This is attributable in lerge degree
10 the fact that the candidates are running
on personal merit and not party issues.
Party lines have been much broken on the
financial question in Virginia and the local
elections will be largely held on the basis
of men instead of measures
A year ago it would have been impossl-
bic for any man to be elected TO the small
est Office who was not pronounced free
coinage, 16 to silverte. whereas now there
Is complaint that the local tickets are not
following party lines, and men who have
animated with gold bugs and even re-
pubiicans are running the same ticket
with regular democrats and seeking pre-
ferment from the followers of W. ]. Bryan
In most of the white counties the nomi-
nation of a democrat has always been
equivalent to an election, and some of the
regulars are sounding voice of disapproy-
al at the departure from strict party lines
and are demanding primaries.
There having been no indication to the
rank and file what line of policy will be
adopted by the democratic leaders in state
or national issues, the local politicians are
at sea. Moreover. there are no state Off
GERS or congressman TO figure in the spring
elections and no money for organization;
hence in most counties IL is a free-for-aH
fight.
The appointments under the present state
administration have, as a rule, been made
from the ranks of the pronounced free sill
verites, and with this precedent in view IL
is worth something to have been an orig
inal free silver man where the other cam
didates cannot claim the same distinction;
