Paine's Celery
Compound
The Wondrous Spring System
Cleanser and Health Builder
Makes Sick People Well.
1t is a Heaven Sent Blessing
to Disease Burdened
Men and Women.

There is nothing doubtful or un-
certain about the working and eff
fects Of Paine's Celery Compound.
1t stands supreme as a spring sys-
tenn cleanser and health builder. 1t
reaches without loss of precious
time the cause of sickness and dis
ease in way that no other remedy
can de. It's first and most import
ant mission is the publication of
the life stream, increasing its vol
ume and quality. 1t then stirs all
the organs that work sluggishly. 1t
restores strength, renews vitality,
regulates the kidneys, liver and
bowels, and makes people well and
strong. For these reasons Paine's
Celery Compound as a spring med
icine stands far above all other
prescriptions and remedies that
promise so much and accomplish
so little. Mrs. r. o. Starkey, Jack
son, Mich, says
'For many years | suffered more
than tongue can tell from eczema
and blood troubles. In the spring
season my agonies and distresses
were increased, and | often wished
to die Boiis and pimples added to
my sufferings, and for weeks | was
not fit to be seen. Doctors afforded
me but small relief. [ spent scores
of dollars for advertised medicines,
but got no cure from them. l got
hold of one of your books and read
about a lady who had been afflict-
ed as l was and cured by Paine's
Celery Compound. l procured a
bottle of your Compound without
delay and began to use it. After l

a blessed change, the eczema and
eruptions were disappearing. So
happy was that l continued with
the medicine till my face and body
were clear and smooth. | am new
woman in every respect. l am
now well and strong, and believe
the cure is permanent one. May
heaven bless YOU in your work of
doing good to suffering humanity"

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

4 - - ~ Il " -%@@-~ - u L - -
The new state election law, pass
ed by the present legislature, was
printed 10 full in last Sundays
edition of the Houston Post. II
makes about nine columns of solid
BREWER and It's reading IS no small
Job. It's provisions, besides affirm
ing former general qualifications OF
voters. times and methods ofcalling
elections, are aimed in general at
the publication of the ballot and
the punishment of violations thereof,
which should largely prevent cleo
zion frauds hereafter in Texas,
provided they can by enforced.
Among other things, the new law
provides that judges of election
shall be furnished with a list of the
poll taxes paid in their respective
precincts, and permits none who
are required to pay poll tax to vote
without having his poll tax receipt,
or satisfying the election judge
beyond doubt that he has lost it.
Official ballots are provided for,
and the election judges must ac-
count for the precise number issued
% them. Election booths are requir-
ed in towns of 5000 or more in
habitants. Primary elections must
Be, conducted with as strict re-
srdations as regular elections, and
none but those entitled to vote at
the latter can participate in the
3ormer elections. Electioneering is
prohibited within a hundred feet of
the polling place. Candidates are
not allowed to pay or newspapers
10 receive money for advocating
persons for office, except as regular
advertising, and corporations are
forbidden to contribute to campaign
iunds. Heavy penalties of fines or
imprisonment for various terms are
imposed for violation of the pro-
visions of the law.
In the main the new law appears
10 be good one, thought is doubt
iul whether all of its provisions can
be properly enforced, or will stand
testing. The one prohibiting news
papers from accepting pay for
advocating any candidate for office,
except as regular advertising ap-
pears to be of doubtful constitution
atty, and would probably be very
2ifficult to enforce.

TROUBLE OVER A BET.
Mr.. Somers Sues Harry Leigh to Re
cover a Stake.

Mr.. Somers Sues Harry Leigh to Re-
cover Stake.
Justice of the Peace Bishop heard the
evidence in the case of Albert Somers
VS.. Harry Leigh at his office in the
First National bank building last even
ing. Mr. Somers brought suit against
Mr.. Leigh for $25 to recover his share
of a wager in reference to the relative
speed of some homing pigeons. The
plaintiff in the case entered some birds
in a speed contest between Baltimore
and this city. There were several who
entered birds, among them a gentleman
of the name of Edward Curren. AS
there was considerable rivalry between
Messrs. Somers and Curren as to the
speed of their birds a wager of small
amount was made. On the day of the
race the birds We're released in Balti-
more and sped northward, and on their
arrival here it was claimed that the
entries had been changed and that diff
ferent birds had been substituted. The
bets were then declared off, and while
some of the bets were returned to those
who wagered, it is claimed that the
plaintiff never got his money back, and
this suit followed.

STRUCK BY A CAR.

Mr. Mccarthy Thrown from His Team
and Has Three Stitches Taken in His
Head.
A gentleman by the name of McCar-
thy, while driving on Derby avenue
just over the bridge, was struck by a
trolley car, No. 145, of the Lighthouse
run, and thrown from the wagon. He
was picked up and taken to DR.. Bren-
mans office, where it was found neces-
sary to take three stitches to close a
wound in the head. He was also quite
badly shaken up but no serious results
are anticipated. Neither horse nor
wagon was injured very much.
