The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard
est kind of work has bsgun, the renewal
of which is a mental and physical strain
to all except the most rugged. The lit
tie girl that few days ago had roses
in her cheeks, and the little boy whose
lips were then so red you would havein-
sisted that they had been kissed by
Strawberries, have already lost some
thing of the appearance of health. Now
is time when many children should be
given a tonic, which may avert much
serious trouble, and we know of no
other so highly to be recommended as
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which strengthens
the nerves, perfects digestion and as
sanitation, and aids mental development
by building up the whole system.

WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER 9, 1901.
AS TO FORT BROWN.
Letters Received By Judge Wells
From Prominent Men Regard
ing the Matter.

On his return last evening:
Judge Jas. B. Wells found In the
mail awaiting him number of
letters from various prominent
officials concerning the matter of
maintaining a garrison at Fort
Brown. These were all in response
to letters written by Judge Wells
himself to the writer's in order to
interest them in this matter, which
is of such great Importance to
Brownsville, he having sent to
each of them copy of the tele
gram recently seGt to Congressman
Kleberg, and setting forth the ur-
gency of the case.
Among the letters is one from
Congressman G. b. Randell who
writes that he has always been of
the opinion that our Texas frontier
was not sufficiently garriSoned,
aud says lie has addressed "a letter
to the Secretary of War asking
that adequate military forces be
stationed on the Rio Grande
Letters from Congressman Thos.
II Ball and John Il Stevens and
Senator ChaS. A. CulberSon are all
of the same tenor. Congressman
Dudley q. WOOten also writes
Judge Wells, in effect, that he has
written long letter to the Secre-
tary of War, setting forth the
needs of post at this point, citing
the Importance of maintaining
strong garrison here and pointing
out the fact that the Mexican gov
eminent keeps large force con
stantly stationed at MatamOrOs
Just across the river from Browns
vile. Mr. WOoten says he does
not write from mere hearsay, but
is personally familiar with this en-
tire frontier and knows the merits
of the case from his own 0bServa-
ton.
Gov Sayers is another of Judge
Wells correspondents, who whites
that he had addressed an earnest
letter to the Secretary of War in
behalf of Fort Brown.
All of the letters received by
Judge Wells were shown to the
editor, and all are most favorable
and encouraging The matter will
not be allowed TO rest here, how
ever, as further efforts are being
made by Judge Wells and the
other citizens interested to lave
troops sent to Fort Brown at an
early date. Letters have been
written pressing most urgently for
immediate attention by the war de-
partment to the matter. and there
is good cause for hope that troops
may be sent here very shortly.

Memphis Tenn, May H.-The eleventh annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be formally opened in this city tomorrow. From present indications the gathering will be one of the most mo- table ever held by the organization. It is expected that immense crowds will be in attendance and that fully 100000 peo- pie will be here before the end of the week.
 The only possible drawback to the suc- cess of the reunion will be the weather, which set in tonight with a sharp thun- derstorm which damaged some of the decorations and tore down few flags and strips of bunting. Every possible provision for the comfort and the welfare of their guests has been made by the people of Memphis. An immense tent has been erected close to the reunion hall in which at least 1S,0OO free meals will be served every day. This tent had a narrow escape from being ruined by fire today. A spark from a passing To- comotive lodged upon it so high up that it was impossible to reach the flame with water thrown from buckets. By the time the fire department arrived and ex-

No Progress Made Towards Terminal

Representatives of the strikers submitted a copy of an amended agreement. which will be considered at full meeting of sub-contractors to be held tomorrow morning.
 The sub-contractors present at the con ference held out little hope of it's accept ance. They were firm in declaring that outside strikes would be in no way includ- ed in any agreement with their manage ment.
 Chief Contractor Mcdonald issued statement declaring that this was a walking delegates strike and accusing the workmen of bad faith.
