The Verdict

ne NeTulCt,
Official figures are invented to nut the de-
fc!t at SIS, $4,000, and the public is led to be-
lieve that this loss is due to the war with
Spain. AS matter of fact the war with
Spain did not cause the deficit On the con-
trary. IL there had been no war and no war
taxes the deficit would have been larger, and
startled the country. Republican crime and
contract loot have been hidden by the war
The cost of the war is shown thus

WORK ON BRIDGES.

The county commissioners met
yesterday to consider and act on
the condition Of roads and bridges.
The results Of investigation by the
commissioners showed the dam
ages to the bridges to be fully as
bad as anticipated and estimated
in The Eagle a few days ago. The
still Creek bridge appears to be
the only one left intact. Some
Others are left but badly damaged,
and the majority are washed away.
The court made a contract with X.
l.. Weddington yesterday TO re-
place the Carter's creek bridge.
NJ. Parker has agreed to replace
the Thompson creek bridge on
Pitts bridge road, charging the
county only the cost Of the work.
Other contracts were made with
parties to save the material on
other bridges. The court is sup
plying overseers with material
wherever they can use it.

Mr.. W. II. Harper of Benchley,
while in The Eagle Office today,
related his experience in the flood.
He and Mr.. Dixon, night operator

PHILOSOPHY.

So soon the end must come.
Why waste in sighs our BREATH
So soon our lips are dumb,
SO swift comes death.
So brief the time 10 smile,
Why darken We the air
With frowns and tears, the while
We nurse despair ?
Hold firm the suffering will
And bravely thrust II back;
Fight with the powers Of III,
The legion black.
Sand in the sunshine sweet
And treasure every ray,
Nor seek with stubborn feet
The darksome way.
Have couragel Keep good cheer
Our longest time is brief.
To those who hold you dear
Bring no more grief.
But cherish blisses small,
Grateful for least delight
That 10 your lot doth fall
However slight.
And To- all hearts will bring
Love TO make glad your days,
Blessings untold will spring
About your ways.
So shall life bloom and shine,
Lifted its pain above.
Crowned with this gift divine,
The gift Of love.

Save Your Horses.

Mrs. Chas. F. Weiland writes TO
the Dallas News as follows:s
Please say to your readers who
own horses and dogs that are al
most distracted this hot weather
by flies, that il they will wash them
each morning with a half table
spoonful Of creolin TO an ordinary
teacup Of water, the poor dumb
brutes will never cease TO be CRATE
ful. Creolin can be had at any
drug store and is harmless. II can
be applied without dilution, but is
equally efficient diluted. Itshould
be prepared fre'h each time it is
used. Tell them to wash thor
oughly the norse's face and ears,
neck, underside Of body and legs,
and they will be rewarded by see
ing the poor horse stand quiet,
while formerly he was wearing
himself out by trying to keep the
flies off by stamping and biting
himself. There is no better wash
for sores or CALLED places on horses
or dogs. Creolin sells at 80 cents
pound.
