tiveness, Palpitation of the heart, heart
burn, waterbrash, gnawingand burning
pains at tho pit Of The stomach, yellow
d skin, coated tongue and disagreoable
taste in themouth, coming up Of food
after eating, low spirits, etc. Go to your
druggist and get a bottle of August
Flower for Is cents. Two doses will re-
'lieve you. Try it. Get Green's Prize

ALL TEXAS AGOG
OVER Oil. STRIKE.
TWO HUNDRED NEW soRlNes.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Dallas, Tex, Jan. IA. The oil
excitement caused by the recent
wonderful strike at Beaumont is
spreading over Texas. Dallas
capitalists are nearly as much ex-
ercised over the discovery as are
the Beaumont people. Private
kilograms received here to-day
and tonight are to the effect that
the flow of the Lucas gusher has
not diminished. Machinery was
nearly completed to-day to control
the flow and save The oil. 1t is
expected that this will be accom-
pliShcd by Tomorrow. Approxi-
mately 100, 900 barrels of oil al
ready have been lost. Many
strangers reached Beaumont to-
day, mostly coming from the
North and Northwest, to inspect
the new district. Fully 200 new
borings were started to-day. In
addition to forces of we'll sinkers,
strung out from Beaumont to Sa-
bine Pass on the south, distance
of forty miles, borerS also went to
work to the eastward of Beau-
mont, operating all the way to
Orange, distance Of thirty miles.
Mr.. Outrey, a Corsicana oil we'll
owner, reached Dallas tonight.
He said:
81 have never seen anything in
oil like this Beaumont strike. It's
the real thing too. The oil is of
splendid quality. The real oil dis
trict Of Texas l believe has been
struck at last"
1t is rumored that Mr.. Outrey
is here trying to organize syn
d1cate to prospect iii new field
between the Corsicana and Beau-
mont districts. 1t is also report
ed that Mayor "Golden Rule"
Jones OF Toledo, o., is pushing a
syndicate Of Ohio and Pennsvl-
vanla men to work in the new
field. Everything in the shape
Of oil apparatus is being ordered.
Among the kilograms received III
Dallas to-day was one to an agent
that read
"Contract at once for 100000
second hand oil barrels, if pos
sible, at 40 cents"
President Kivlin of the Dallas
Cooperage Company said concern
ing this:
