No SOONER does the Frisco APP
pear on the field as probable
bidder for the Brownsville railroad
project, than the Orient hobs up
again with talk of building this
long talked of road. 1t looks some
what as if the object of these rumors
of other railroads to Brownsville at
this time were probably being
thrown out with a view of causing
the people of this section to refuse
to raise the bonus asked by Col.
Lott, in the hope that some other
company may build in here for a
smaller bonus. 1t would be folly.

TELLS OF PROGRESS
ON LOWER RIO GRANDE.

The esteemed BROWNSVILLE HER.
AID announces that a WEEKLY
HERALD will soon be issued from
the office of the daily in connection
Herewith. In this behalf THE HER
AID says that it is only the dear,h
of English reading people on the
farms and ranches of the lower
country that has prevented the is
suing of weekly paper until the
present time. Now, however, the
English reading population has
vastly increased with the rapid de-
velopment that is going on and
there is every reason to believe a
weekly paper would be appreciated
and patronized by the citizens of
the country. This announcement OF
THE HERALD is the most eloquent
story OF the progress of the lower
Rio Grande The Times has vet
seen. May the esteemed HERALD
realize its most sanguine hopes of
securing large patronage for its
new venture.-Laredo Times.

however, for our people to neglect
the main chance, now lying at
their door, for others that, at best,
are vague and uncertain. The old
saying, "a bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush," is a wise one,
and Brownsville should adopt it
right now. Let us make sure of the
bird in the hand, without loss Of

THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD is
right when it says that sit does
look like folly, to say nothing OF
unnecessary expense to the state.
to try a man and sentence him for
horse theft, when he is under in
dictment for murder at the same
time" The charge of horse-theft
will keep, just as well as the
murder charge. and should the ac-
cused be convicted under the more
serious indictment, and the death
penalty assessed, it would hardly
be suspended until the penitentiary
sentence for horse-theft was served.

Rio Grande, and the railroad will
follow" Events have proven him a
true prophet. Irrigation came first,
and now the railroad is coming, to
handle the products which irriga-
ton will bring forth.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
TIE GREAT nEDEcENE.
An rDrn nnnYrra1
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
sAfter the Use OF Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now il the Best OF Hea!....,."

The greatest of modern physicians. H-rof.
Edward E. Phelps, N. D., IL. D., alter years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaleo
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
ssI acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use OF Paine's Celery Compound. ] had,
during the years of n1ylillness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
'fI was getting worse, and was told / was
incurable. was indeed in critical condi-
ton. I could not go from the house alone,
as was liable to sudden collapse. tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to .vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
eAfter the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, I am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God i am my old self

Celery Compound

rhe Japanese seable.

We can learn from the Japanese a
thing or two about stabling horses. In
Japan horses are backed into their
stalls; then a door is closed at the head,
which has q grain and hayrack con-
veniently constructed. to which the nag
is secured. When needed. the door is
swung back and the horse led forth.
No one gets kicked. no refuse matter
is visible to the visitor. and it seems to
be a sensible way to construct place
for any horse.

MARKING ON SILVER.
Simple Means of Duplicating Design
When Once Inscribed.


When Once Inscribed.
jewelers. who engrave initials
on spoons and forks sometimes
find difficulty in securing perfect
uniformity in the size and sym
metry of the letters, and have
wished that there was some sim
pie means of duplicating the de-
sign when once inscribed. The
following advice, to meet that
emergency, is offered by the jew
ellers' Circular Weekly. The
method here proposed gives a trac-
ing on the other spoons, like that
on the first, and guides the en-
graver's eye in his later work.
After cutting the first initial,
rub some wax made of three parts
of beeswax, three parts tallow,
one part Canada Dalsam and one
part olive oil into the engraving.
Then clean off the surplus, and
after moistening a piece of writ
ing paper, by drawing it over the
tongue, apply it to the engraved
surface and press it down evenly.
Over this place a dry piece of pa.
per, and, holding both down with
the forefnger and thumb of the
left hand, go over the entire sur
face with a steel or bone FURNISH
er. This will press the dampened
paper into the engraving and a
clear impression will be the re-
suit if due care is taken. The pa
per should be carefully removed
from the engraving and applied in
a similar position on each of the
other articles, and if carefully
rubbed with the finger, clear i'm
preston will be made. If care be
taken with the impression paper
it can be used for two or more
dozen pieces.
