Those who fail to hear Mr., Bryan
at the Opera House tonight will miss
the opportunity of their lives to hear
a model speaker, as well as a great
man. / have heard many of the great
orators Of America, in the pulpit, at
the bar, and on the platform, but have
never heard man his equal as a
model for young men in any Of the
professions as a public speaker. l
trust all Of our preachers and lawyers
will closely mark the style of his
speaking tonight, as to tone, articu-
lation and attitude. Observe how he
can stand square on bis feet and
simply talk, in contrast with the stage
preambulator, and ranter. The men
who move the masses, hold the atten-
tion, and convince men, are the talk
ers, not the declaimers.
W. ]. Bryan can, if need be, rise to
the sublimest oratory. But what
makes him the fayorite Of al Amer
lean speakers is his ability to stand
steady on his feet, aud deliberately,
distinctly and earnestly talk to the
people. II. X. HINDE.

RATS CAPTURE A RANCH.
Driven Away and the
Cattle stampeded- Rodents
Devastate Country.

CARRIz0, TEXAS, April "a. - An
army Of gigantic Mexican field rats
has invaded this portion of the coun-
try near the Rio Grande border, and
the Mexicans of the lower class who
live in hanlets and villages on the
nesghboring ranches and in the valley
of the Rio Grande below here, are in
terror
The rats are believed to have crossed
the Rio Grade from Mexico. The
first that was known Of them in Texas
was ten days ago, when Juan Romello,
who lives on Pedro Caverto's ranch,
seven miles east Of Carrizo, rode into
this place at breakneck speed and
excitedly informed the crowd who
gathered around him that the persons
at the ranch house were being eaten
alive by rats and that help was need
ed at once.
All the horses except the one which
Romello was riding had broken from
the corral when the rats made their
appearance, and it was ON the barest
chance that Romello was able to
catch this one and ride for help.
Without loss of time a posse was
organized and, headed by Romello,
proceeded to the ranch.
When they reached the house they
found Pedro Cayerto and his three
young children perehed on top of the
crossbeams which supported the roof
Of the house, while on the kitchen
table were Mis-. Caverto and a Mex
lean girl. All had been lighting the
rats for several hours and they were In
a state Of exhaustion.
The rats were running over the
premises and through the brush like
so many ants. They had not injured
the imprisoned inmates of the house.
The family and what livestock had
not fled were removed from the path
of the invading force and the whole
ranch was given over to the rats.
This condition continued for two
days, when the rats went onward,
leaving a trail of devastation several
miles wide behind them.
Many reports of children having
been attacked and injured have been
received here. The army of rats is
moving in an easterly direction and a
large force of men have been striving
for the past few days to turn those in
the lead in the direction of the Rio
Grande, in the hope that the animals
may be driven into that stream and
either drowned or forced back into
Mexico.
These millions of rats have been fed
on the prickly pear and mesquite trees
during their migration, and thous-
ands of acres which are covered with
this vegetation now have the appear
ance Of having been stricken with
deadly blight
The animals burrowed in the ground
and sapped the juice out OF the roots,
causing the prickly pear and mesquite
to wither and die. The destruction
OF the priekly pear is a severe loss to
the stockmen, as it furnished susie
nance 70 cattle during the long peri
Ods Of drouth.

The publicity department Of the
Worlds Fair has issued the following
official bulletin, which will be of in
terest to newspaper men throughout
the world: There will be a world S
congress Of editors at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition in St. Louis.
Five hundred members of the Nation
al Association, in session at Hot

yiding for the appointment Of a

vides that Hon Walter Williams, Of

pany to provide special building on
the fair grounds, at no expense to the
editors, to be devoted to the uses Of

families. 1t is in this building that
the Worlds Congress OF Editors will
meet and be entertained during the
progress OF the great international
Exposition Il, is the purpose to have
the building supplied with billiard
and pool tables, a restaurant and re-
ceptiUn rooms, cosy corners with
couches where the tired and weary
sightseeing editor, his wife and
daughter can rest in a cool and quiet
place. In fact, 1t will be built and
and arranged for what the Missouri
editor would call "solid comfort"

REFERRING to the question of credit
a writer in Success advances opinions
which should be closely read by young
men who are going into business Of
any kind. The question of paying
cash is very important in the business
world. The question of giving credit
is Of even more importance People
who refuse TO pay their debts are re-
ceiylng less and less support from
business men generally. Along this
line the writer says; Many young
men beginning a business career for
themselves, make tie mistake Of sup
posing that financial credit is based
wholly upon property or capital They
do not understand that character and
reliability, combined with aptitude
for ones business, and a disposition to
work hard, are far more important

The young fellow who begins by
sweeping out the store, and who
finally becomes a clerk, manager or

A Victory Over an Insidious Disease

The liver is the great hoGsekeeper
Of our health. On its right and proper
action depends our enjoyment Of life.
One of the commonest indications of
a disordered and diseased liver is a
nasty tongue = furred and coated.
Such a condition is positive proof
that the liver is not working we'll.
Other symptoms are as follows: Naus-
eous taste in the mouth, pains under
the shoulder blades and in the region
of the kidneys. Frequently the
mental symptoms of liver troubles are
more dangerous than the bodily ills,
Sufferers experience mental anguish
gloomy forebodings, melancholy and a
general feeling Of disgust with life.
When these bodily and mental
troubles are experienced your liver
tells you It needs immediate help II
the proper medicine is not used at
once sickness and death follow.
Paine'S Celery Compound is the one
great specific for the cure Of liver
troubles. IL always acts gently and
effectively on the root of the evils,
driving fromhhe system accumulations
of morbid polsons that give rise to
your suffering. Soon every organ is
infused with new life, the skin is
