Tightly Locked From
Nervous Spasms.
Ply sicians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
DIR. Miles Nervine Cured
My Wife.

DR. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor
ders. but never.has ii made better record than
when used in the treatment Of fits or spasms.
Thousands Of testimonials prove this, and IN
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the FIRST dose OF Ner--
vine was given The statement IS repeated
IN the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and called in my
home physician and he said she was para
Iyzed He rubbed her with salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
So we could not open them and she finally
get so her laws would become locked
Finally saw the doctor was doing her no
rood and ordered bottle Of DIR. Miles Re-
storatiye Nervine- She received 50 much
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more She has taken number Of bottles
but has never had a fit since taking the first
dose She also thinks very highly of DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never

Woman poesa.s obes Rules.

Woman Doesa't Obry Rules.
In spite OF their historic solidarity. in
spite of the powerful and binding In
fluenee OF their common womanhood
and in spite OF all the thoughts and
feelings in which they share, doubt
whether such thing as friendship in
its very highest sense can ever exist
between two women, fer the essential
elements of friendship are unhesitating
confidence and answering loyalty, and
these are precisely the two things which
can never BY any possibility be given
by one woman TO another.
Honor, in the mans understanding of
this word, Is something that has no ex-
istence in q woman's nature. While
she loves and while she cares. she will
be loyal with a loyalty that neither
suffering nor disgrace nor death itself
can shake. but that higher loyalty
which is faithful even 10 those who
wrong it~in this no woman has
share Rafrord Pyke in Cosmopolitan.

OUR RAILRO4D PROSPECTS.

Brownsville IS going to have
railroad before long. Do not dou 81
il. Indications now are that not less
than three roads are looking this
way, each of them being fully
capable of constructing any line ii
may undertake without any
troublesome preliminaries. The
situation looks exceedingly promis-
ing, indeed, as indicated by the fol-
lowing press dispatch lately sent
out from Houston, which reads as
follows:
Brownsville is soon to have a
new road and that plans are quietly
working for the construction of a
coast line to that point is learned
from inside sources in this city.
One of the provisions of the South
ern Pacific merger bill which was
reported favorably on by legislature
yesterday, provides for the COM
pany constructing a branch from
point on the Gulf, West Texas &
Pacific into Refugio county which
is in very promising section for
rice development. 1t is this branch
that is TO 90 on to Brownsville 1t
will be constructed on nearly Il bee
line. The Southern Pacific is not
the only system that has an eye on
the last nook of Texas, in which
Brownsville snugly nestles. Both
the Santa Fe and Rock Island have
cast furtive glances in that di-
rection. The Southern Pacific is to

TUESDAY, MARCH II, 1903.
THREATENS THE FISHING
INDUSTRY.

INDUSTRY.
There is pending in the legis-
lature an amendment to the state
fish and oyster law, which appears
to THE HTRALD as likely to be very
pTejudicial to the interests of the
fishermen Of the Texas coast, should
il become 4 law, and it is to be
hoped that those representatives
who are concerned as to the welfare
of the fishing industry will do their
best to defeat it or, at least, to have
Its terms modified considerably.
The proposed amendment provides
for a tax of one-half cent per pound
on ali fish, turtle, terrapin and
shrimp offered for sale, to be
weighed and the tax collected by
the deputy commissioner, and of
one cent per bushel on all oysters
in the shell or two cents per gallon
on those that are opened, to be
inspected and the tax collected also
by the deputy commissioner. From
the amount so collected it is pro-
Yided that deputy commissioners
shall be paid as follows: One at
Sabine Pass, $25 per month; one at
Galveston, $50; at Velasco, $25;
at Matagorda, $50; at Palacios
City, $25; at Port Lavaca, $50; at
ROckport, $50; at Corpus Christi,
$50; at Point Isabel, $25. The
deputies are to be paid at the end
of each month, and their salaries
aRs mot to exceed" the amounts
stSted.
In addition to this tax, the pro-
passed amendment provides that
cash boatman engaged In fishing
AID oystering for the market shall |
obtain a license by paying one dol
lar for himself and one dollar for
each person working on his boat.
Another provision prohibits fishing
with seines or in any way except
with pole or line in any waters
known as breeding grounds, between
April l and September 1.
1t will be seen by anyone at all
pasted on the fishing industry that
tie proposed amendment, should it
become law, must be exceedingly
bsrdensome upon fishermen, and
wsuld doubtless be largely prohibi-
tive of this industry. That the fish
azd oyster industry of the state
SHOULD be protected and developed
By law, is very true, and even the
fishermen should see that it is to
tkeir own interest as well as that of
the state that they fishing grounds
Of the coast should be so protected,
in order to prevent the extermina-
tisn fish and oysters in these waters.
Thus the law prohibiting the
taking of immature fish or oysters.
asd with other similar provisions
IS a good one. 1t has proven almost
entirely imperative, it is true,
bscause the deputy collectors re-
oaived no salary except what they !
es&ld get out of the fishermen in 1
licenses and fines. The proposed {
is intended to provide
