Robert Miller, who Is superin-
tending the construction of the
Sistersville and New Martinsville
electric line, very recently pur-
chased fine driving horse, buck
board and harness of Liveryman
John Stealey.
A heavy rain and thunder storm
passed over the city last evening
about six o'clock. A strong wind
accompanied the storm, but aside
to having damaged shade and fruit
trees In many parts OF the city,
nothing else of a serious nature
has beer reported to Us. The rain
was a welcome visitor and will do
untold good to vegetation and
growing crops.
Old mother Nature has never
been improved Representatives
she needs little assistance over
hard places though.
But when we assist nel, INC
nearer we keep to her own methods
and processes the better.
Sometimes the digestive organs
need help: we have indigestion.
Pepsin Is what nature has selected
to do the work of digestion in the
stomach; hence, the best help to
digestion is pepsin. The pleasant
est and most beneficial way to take
pepsin Is with pure port wine, as
combined In Walther's Peptonized
Port, and sold by all druggists,
In that form, The port Is Itself a
valuable tonic. Small size so
cents, large size $1.oo.

tiers. He read a letter from General Mlckle'
complimentlng him on his splendid roster
Of the camp.
Comrade c. c. Beavens stated that the
Southern Pacific railroad had assured the
camp that 1t could handle trains at Hous-
ton. 1t was the sense of the camp that
If the citizens Of Houston desired barbe-
cue to be given to the veterans 1t was

The adtutaut stated that Mr.. Brown, sccre-

and have them appoint committees 10 take
the matter IN hand, and solicit contllpu-

that Sheriff Anderson and those in authon-

Comrade Il. c, Crawford made some re-
marks relative to charity toward those who

Thomas 4 Waterman took an opposite

AFTER HACK ORDINANCE
The Recent Amendment VIII Be Tested

The Recent Amendment VIII Be Tested
in the Courts,
Houston can not get away from the war
Of the hackmen nor the repeated efforts
Of the city council n frame measure
that will satisfy the citizens and the mack
owners alike,
The question broke out afresh Saturday
evening and bids fair to arouse more dis
turbance than Eilkenuey cat dght. The
councils latest hack stand act was an
amendment giving the hacks the privilege
N standing in front Of any business housA
on OF Main street where permission TO do
so was granted by the tenant or owner
Of the property.
Colonel James Lawlor on Saturday grant.
ed Henry Beck privilege to stand his hacks
along the Texas avenue side of the Rice
hotel When Beck took his position there,
"a. $ II Wilson ordered his hacks to
stand there also The police placed the
driver Of the offending hack Robert Sim
mon. under arrest for a violation Of the
ordinance In falling to secure permission
and the case will be called today. Mr.. vii.
son having furnished bond for his driver,
Ir: Wilson claims that II one hack Is
privileged 10 stand in a certain place that
the council can not prohibit by ordinance
others from doing so and proposes to test
the question In the courts. The original
ordinance deslgnates Texas avenue as on
OF the streets where the hacks may legally

that the granting Of permission to one
hack to stand in any particular placn
