THEY Tell N HERE.
Tell it on the Streets of Belfast and
Elsewhere.

Some things cannot be told too often
Repetition gives them added strength.
The same old story is pleasant to hear
When it brings happiness to the home,
Brings Joy to the afflicted,
Tells how burdens can be raised,
How the back can be relieved.
Belfast people tell this story.
Friends and nelghbors talk about it.
They tell about their kidney ills,
How they suffered how the cure came,
What they think of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is what citizen says:
Mr.. Benjamin Robinson Of No. Waldo avenue
corner of Bridge street, says: IL caught cold, it
settled in my back and LAID me up for severa,
weeks. The sharp pains were so severe at times
that could not straighten, and finally sent for
a doctor He said had kidney trouble and gave
me some medicine, but it did not help me much
My mother saw Doan's Kidney P ills advertised
and got box for me at Kilgore & wilson's drug
store. used them as directed and my back has
not troubled me since"
Doans Ointment is for sale by all dealers, price
30 cents, mailed by Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo
N. Y, sol agents for the United States.
Remember the name, DOAN'S, and take no sub
stitute.

FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
Il Co., New York, reports for the week end
ing May 18th: There has been no specjal
change in the condition of the market for
large tonnage in long voyage trades. The
colonial INES seemingly are in need of adj
ditional vessels, and offer to negotiate upon
the basis of recent fixtures, say It's SYDNEY
and l8s Melbourne, but case oil shippers are
offering but little attention, and in most in
stances name lower figures to far Eastern
destinations when vessels are rendered.
Barrel petroleum tonnage continues in very
| limited demand. Though no quotable change
| in rates has occurred lumber tonnage to the
River Plate continues in request, and several
| additional fixtures are reported The mar
ket appears firm in tone upon the basis OF
| $13 509S1450 from Gulf ports to Buenos
Ayres and Rosario, and 50 500 $40 so for
medium vessels from Boston and Portland.
From the Provinces to Buenos Ayres the
range is 50 50gS10 so to port and size Of
vessel. Brazil freights remain quiet though
! the lessened demand is without appreciable
influence upon rates, tonnage being offered
sparingly. To Maceo a brig of 800 tons
obtained 80 cents per Dbl. Tonnage for the
West Indies continues in good demand,
there being liberal offerings of both out and.
home freight. Vessels, however, are scarce,
and full previous rates are sustained There
has been less demand for tonnage il the
| coastwise lumber trade, but rates airs firm
ly maintained upon the basis of last fixtures
There is no improvement to report in coal
freights to the East. Orders are scarce, and
with tonnage quite freely offered rates are
yet regarded as favoring shippers.

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

Yesterday the Texarkana Cloth
ing company was given fine cloth
awning with new cotton robes to
hoist and lower it as the occasion
demanded. Last night some malicl-
Gus person cut the ropes in several
places which will necessitate the
buying of new oues.
The manager, Mr., A. G. Stuart,
thinks it was done by boys who
have kept up this frolic of destroy
ing signs and moving boxes and
doing other smart tricks since the
holiday nights, when they were al
lowed to have full sway to do as
they please.
The police should run the boys
off the street as soon as the curtew
whistle blows. These young bloods
should be taught a lesson by spend
ing an evening in the city jail, if
they cannot be controlled other
wise.

DIAMOND ROBBERY.

Yesterday morning at an early
hour, the private residence of Louis
Heilbron was entered by a sneak
thief who had hoisted a down stair
window and made his way up stairs
into the room occupied by Mr.. He'll
bron, who is known to wear a fine
diamond stud in his shirt front. Mr..
Heilbron was sleeping and the thief
extracted his diamond and took
81 so in money out of the pants
pockets of Mr.. Hebron and then
visited the room Of Charlie He'll
bron to go through bis pockets, but
Charley was awakcntd and saw the
man and called 10 his brother Louis
to come there. Ofcourse the sneak
made break TO get out and did
gain his freedom, as Mr.. Charlie
Heilbron made no effort to stop him
When Mr.. Louis HeiIbron discov-
cred he was robbed, he called UP
the police and told them that he
thought the man who entered the
house must be the negro Bright
Eyes" whom he thought was the
party that had his diamond The
police asked HIM if he would make
an affidavit and he said yes, and
Marshal Dean soon had Bright
Eyes arrested The negro had two
dollars and some odd cents in his
PICKET when arrested and denied
having anything to do with enter
ing the house. Marshal Dean turn
ed the suspect over to Constable
and he locked the negro up
to await developments.

everything frightened up about
their quarters, in the brick just
back Of M. D, Tilson's, on Clinton

The Texarkana Can has a man on
detail duty at the general offices of
the Texarkana and Fort Smith
Railway, who stands with basket
ready to catch all guiIlotined heads
as they fall from the official axe
welded by a headsman in Kansas
City. The "detail even notices
the dropping Of a pin, the twisting
of an ankle, the batting of an eye
up in the "rookery," and should a
copy of the daily report as publish
ed in the 'only' should reach the
Kansas City officials, they would
send man down here to blow up
the whole concern. If the Kansas
headsman sees fit to sling" his axe
around and drop head or two, he
is not going to read the daily
report" of the detail to find out
if the head is red one, whether
the owner parts his hair in the
middle, or uses bear grease for a
greaser, but he will whack down
and let the head tumble in the "de-
tail" basket, that he may discant
on it's CORY locks as he may wish.

ELECTION DAY RUNAWAYS
Three Exciting Runaways Result
Ing ia slight Damages.

Election day was not without its casual
ties, and this time they came principally
in the shape of runaways. The early
runaway by team belonging to Charlie
Bennett. The team became scared about
o'clock at some street signs that were
being ratified by the wind, and they started
to run down Douglas avenue. AT the
Midland depot the horses started south
and lodged in the switch yard south of the
sash and door factory. The horses were
not injured, but the buggy was badly
demolished.
The most exciting scene of the day was
the runaway on South Main, in which
three women, Mrs Lee Helena, Mrs. f.
NJ Watts and Mrs. w Helena and Ernest
Grimes, the driver, were seemingly being
dashed to death The women were being
taken to the polls to vote and the team
BECAME frightened near the city building.
The driver was unable to manage the
horses and they ran furiously up the
paved streets. At the corner OF Main and
Douglas spectators expected a serious col
lfsion with numerous teams, but only one
little dumpy cart got in the way. 1t was
smashed by the carriage and all occupants
thrown out Mrs. Watts, an elderly lady,
was hurt severely, but the injuries to the
other persons in the mixup were very
slight.
The third runaway occurred near the
corner of Lawrence and Oak street late
in the afternoon. Mrs. Walter Dyer was
driving with another lady to the polls of
the Fourth ward. The horse fairly flew
up Lawrence avenue, and it was lucky
that brave man was near. As the horse
turned the corner of Lawrence and Oak,
John Jeter ran for the horses and caught
one by the bit. He is very heavy man
and held a death-like grip, with the horses
dragging him along by their side, but
finally he succeeded in stopping them
No damage was done.
