The two great political clubs of
Chicago, the Iroquois, gold demo
cratic, and the Monticello, a free
silver organization, have agreed TO
let bygones be bygones, and have
hyphenated under one manage
ment to fight the common enemy.
Now let factions cease all along the
line. The Chicago clubs have set a
wholesome example and a worthy
pace that presages the probabili-
ties of victory in 1900. If we have
grievances against each other let
us settle them among ourselves af-
ter the fight is over and the victory
won. That sort of PHILOSOPHY is

The Secret of the Strait.

Another expedition is going in
quest of "the secret of the strait.
For 400 years the secret has re
mained unsolved. Nowadays, geol-
ogists and geographers do not think
water connections exist between
the Atlaneic and the Pacific. That
the time was when the two conti-
nents were apart, these scientific
people believe. There are people
who find the secret of health as
hard to find. Three words tell the
wdy-a healthy stomach. The Sc
cret is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t cures constipation. Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all liver and kidney
ailments. 1t cures them perma-
nently. And it brings relief at
once. All druggists keep it, and a
private revenue stamp covers the

WANT A vIADUCT.

Some of our people here are talk
ing about interesting the railroads
centering here as to the import re.
of yiaduct across the tracks both
for East and West TeEarkana.
That the city stands in need of the
tracks being bridged is known by
all, and the resultant good of such
such an improvement, would not
only help the people in the coun-
try, living south of the railroad
tracks, in the wagon traffic, but
would enhance the value of the
lands ten fold or more, on the south
side.
The Iron Mountain road being
holder of section on the south
side, the sale of which would more
than doubly pay the road for the
building of a viaduct over the
tracks, we would suggest that this
road make a proposition looking to
the consumation of the above pro
ject.
As to the bridging of the tracks
on the West side, we believe the
citizens owning property on both
sides of the track would donate a
goodly sum in paying for bridge.
We recognize one fact, and that
is the land on the south side of the
track will never sell for as much, or
will the people look for lots on
which to build homes, until the
tracks are either bridged or tun-
neled.
We are also cogDizant of the fact
that few hundred yards from the
railroad tracks south, after cross
ing the branch, high land is reached
and some magnificent building sites
can be found running back for
miles, which under the above con-
ditions would find ready buyers at
good prices.
With the settling up of this part
of the city, would come an cleo
trical railroad and other improve
ments.
What we need organized in this
city, is an improvement commit
tee, whose duty it should be to map
out what improvements of public
nature are needed over all Others,
and then work to the end that such
improvements be made.

There is no doubt about it, man

good. 1t has been proven that one
hearty meal a day is amply suffi-
cient to supply the demands of ma
ture, yet he takes, generally, three.
The New York World in discussing
this subject, objects to the MONDAY
luncheon; says that Science has
discovered that eveu the day labor
er who eats in the middle of the
day, does not really digest his food,
but gets rid of the burden by an
unhealthful fermentation. A crav-
ing for food is no more an indica-
tion of healthful need than is a
craving for whiskey or tobacco.
And how can food eaten at midday
refresh or strengthen when it does
not digest? The Romans conquer

porter learns that some of the peo-
pie who had gathered at the Pres

day we're inclined to be mortified, at
what they deemed a breech of
etiquette at the procession of the
home talent troupe passing the
church during the service. The re-
porter interviewed the manager ON
the subject and he said the line o.
marchl had been planned several
days before the parade, and he was
ignorant of the fact of services be-
ing held there, until that part of
the procession he was in reached
the church and he could not
then turn back as he was in the
middle of the procession. He asks us
to assure the good people of the
congregation and those ministers
gathered there, that procession
would have been routed differently
had they known of the situation.
While the reporter regrets that
the congregations attention was
distracted by the procession he
recognizes that no slur or intention al
wrong was meant and be asks that

We saw trapper in town yes
terday, with sixteen coon skins.
We thought it small business to
be engaged in until we saw him
transfer the ownership of those
hides to W. L. Franks, and receive
81. 50 for them This made us have
more respect for the trapper and
his, mode of earning a living, and
we approached himin a reverential
manner with our hat off and asked
him about the business He said
he frequently trapped as high as
five or six a night, and that the
skins never brought him less than
80 cents a piece if they were large
hides and that after the skin was
removed he sold the meat to the
negroes in the bottom near where
he trapped for 20 cents each. Then
we can say a man can earn a good
living in trapping after all.
